"It's cheap. A piece of three-shuttle cloth produced in Songjiang costs six to eight dollars of silver, and a piece of cotton cloth produced in our lake only costs five dollars of silver. ”

I rely on it, it turns out that a piece of cotton cloth can only be sold for so much money, it seems that in the Ming Dynasty, it was too difficult to make money by trafficking in goods.

"Even so, you can earn two cents of silver for a piece of cotton, which is good. Further north is the Beijing Division, where the rich and noble people look down on our Huguang's cotton cloth, and only buy Su silk and Shu brocade if you want to buy it. ”

"Thank you, Brother Sun, for your advice."

Ning Xiu hugged his fists at Sun Wenzheng and said gratefully.

It can be seen that the dead fat man has specially explained to Sun Wenzheng, and asked Sun Wenzheng to take care of him more along the way.

With Sun's experience of leading caravans to the north and south for many years, he must have seen that Ning Xiu was not a foot-walking businessman.

But he didn't say anything, but took more care of Ning Xiu, which made Ning Xiu very grateful.

"It's okay. When they go out, they rely on each other to help each other, and Sun is very happy to meet Brother Chen. ”

After a pause, Sun Wenzheng continued: "Actually, the market in Nanyang Mansion is still a little small, if Brother Chen doesn't mind walking a little longer, you can go to Kaifeng Mansion and sell the cotton cloth." There are many people who buy cloth there, and they may be able to sell it at a higher price. ”

Ning Xiu nodded and said, "Well, according to what Brother Sun said, the kid is ready to ship it when it arrives in Kaifeng." ”

Of course, Ning Xiu chose to go a little longer, not to make the difference in the price of the horse and a half, but to find an opportunity to sell Chu Wanglun to the Xianggu Pavilion.

Nanyang is a small place after all, and there must be a brothel Qinglou, but there may not be an Xianggu Pavilion.

The rabbit is played by the upper-class doctors and rich boys, and the general bitterness can't even be touched by women, how can it be possible to play with men?

Along the way, Ning Xiu also continued to observe Chu Wanglun, and asked him for details several times, and on the whole, he basically concluded that what Chu Wanglun said was the truth.

But even so, this person is also extremely evil, not to mention the harm of Wu Changbo's father and son, and almost cheated Zhang Gelao.

In addition, Ning Xiu was naturally disgusted with the death of the, and decided that he must sell Chu Wanglun to the Xianggu Pavilion and let him accept the punishment like a storm.

......

......

After a day's rest, the caravan set off again, and the road from Nanyang to Kaifeng was relatively easy to walk, and it took eight days.

When they arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, the caravan would stay for three days and sell some of the goods.

And for Ning Xiu, this is the end of the journey.

The first thing he had to do was to sell Chu Wanglun, and then he could sell a cart of cotton cloth.

In history, the most prosperous period of Kaifeng was the Northern Song Dynasty.

The capital of the Great Song Dynasty was Bianjing (Kaifeng), and the prosperity of its market reached the peak of the ancient city in a hundred years. Whenever Ning Xiu admires the Qingming Riverside map, he will be amazed by the prosperous scenery of Bianliang.

The prosperity of commerce in the Song Dynasty was indeed far greater than that of other dynasties.

It's a pity that the golden soldiers and iron horses stepped on, and everything was scattered like smoke.

The Song dynasty moved south, and Bianjing could not be spared from the war.

The head of the city changed the banner of the king, Jin and Yuan walked one after another, and the prosperous Bianjing was gone. By the time Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, Bianjing had been rebuilt several times, and the scale had shrunk by an unknown amount.

There is only Kaifeng Mansion in the world, and there is no prosperous Bianjing City.

But even so, Kaifeng Mansion is also the most prosperous place in Henan.

As the seat of Henan's political envoy yamen and governor's line, Kaifeng has both political and economic significance.

Where there are many officials, business will not be bad.

The reason is very simple, the more officials will consume, and anyway, they will not feel distressed if they use either greedy silver or public funds.

If you consume more, business will naturally flourish, and with the policy tilt, Kaifeng City is still quite prosperous.

Prosperous places will naturally have Qinglou Chu Pavilion.

Kaifeng City has such a green building gathering area, in the south of the city Yichunfang.

Although it is not as good as Qinhuai in ten miles, it is also a well-known business card of Henan Buzheng Division.

It doesn't matter if it's Futai, Fantai, Zhentai, Daotai, or the prefect or county order, who doesn't like red sleeves and incense?

As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a prostitute.

For these big people with status and status, seeking stimulation is the best way to relieve stress.

Although officials were explicitly forbidden to engage in prostitution, it was in the early Ming Dynasty. During the Longwan period, the world style has become extremely extravagant. Don't say it's a prostitute, it's just that no one cares about sleeping with you. Even the Imperial History and other wind magistrates are not the same as galloping on the belly of the pink beauty?

With the support of officials, the Qinglou gathering area of Yichun Fang flourished, and the entire area was filled with professionals engaged in the industry.

Ning Xiu inquired and drove the carriage to the outside of Yi Chunfang.

Of course, he didn't want to go to pick up girls to enjoy, but to sell Chu Wanglun as soon as possible.

Since the rise of the Xianggu Pavilion in the Zhengde period, it only took a few decades for it to be able to compete with the old Qinglou, and there is a faint tendency to catch up.

Competitors naturally don't like each other, and I will open a store where you open a store, and I will be superior to one another.

Therefore, in the main prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty, there are places where Qinglou gathers, and there must be a large number of Xianggu Pavilions next to it.

But after all, the Qinglou gathering area was built early and famous, and Ning Xiu inquired first to find Yi Chunfang, so it was naturally easy to find the Xianggu Pavilion.

Sure enough, in Changchun Fang, opposite Yichun Fang, Ning Xiu saw a similar building complex......

Driving to a large storefront, Ning Xiu stopped the carriage.

The little boy who was waiting in front of the small building saw a guest, and came over very politely and said, "Childe is coming to our house for the first time, right?" Our little ones are all fair-skinned and firm, and they know a lot of tricks, so they will definitely satisfy their sons. ”

Ning Xiu's face turned red, and he waved his hand again and again: "I'm not here to have fun, I'm here to do business." ”

It's no wonder that the little boy thinks too much, the people who come to this place are all Longyang men, and suddenly a normal person seems abnormal.

"Doing business?"

"Well, I have a good product to sell, can you accept it?"

The little boy immediately understood what Ning Xiu meant, scratched his head and said, "This little one can't be the master, or the son will tell the proprietor of my family directly." ”

Ning Xiu nodded and said, "It's okay, the goods are in the car." I'll drive in. ”

"Childe, please come with me."

The child took Ning Xiu to a small alley, and Ning Xiu drove the carriage into the alley and entered the backyard of this Huichun Residence through a side door.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ning Xiu was taken aback.

From the outside, this Huichun Residence is just a row of small buildings, and I can't imagine that there is a hole inside, and it is so big.

"The proprietor of my family happened to be in the store today, and the son is so blessed."

Ning Xiu trembled when he heard this, why was this so awkward?

"Please inspect the goods."

Ning Xiu nodded, lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.

He lightly opened the mechanism, opened the mezzanine, and dragged Chu Wanglun, who was bound with his hands and feet, blindfolded and gagged his mouth, directly out.
