Chapter 12 Nanyang Trading

After entering Nanyang City, Xue Liang still found an inconspicuous small inn to live in, which was still a chase shop. Everyone was so tired that they went to bed and went to sleep. Only Shi Bin couldn't fully adapt to the environment, and he had to toss and turn for an hour or two before he could fall asleep. When he was about to fall asleep, he heard a sound at the end of the shop, so he unconsciously glanced at it and found that Xue Liang was wrapped in a coat and tiptoed out of bed.

It seems that he drank too much water during the day, he thought. The most difficult thing for people to explain is this psychological suggestion, but he thought about the verb to go to the toilet, but not long after, he also came to urinate and had to get up to go to the toilet. On the way back to the room, I saw Xue Liang talking to a person who looked like a house slave in the corner.

Curiosity killed the cat, and when he thought that this was a shrewd old spy, he pushed Shi Bin away with a shudder. As he walked, he let him, an atheist, start a "prayer", just to let Xue Liang not notice that he was once nearby.

The next day, Xue Liang took Shi Bin and Wang San to do business, leaving the other four to guard the goods and find some Nanyang specialties in the market, so that they could be sold to the north to make money.

In this Nanyang City, it took more than half an hour to walk into a large mansion with two catties of Biluochun and ten catties of refined salt from a side door. This kind of mansion is obviously inhabited by the house of an official eunuch, and ordinary people cannot enter through the main entrance, let alone low-status merchants.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, a few house slaves came and brought Xue Liang and the others into a small hall for guests, and each of them served a cup of good green tea. Soon, a man who looked like a housekeeper came in with a child. Seeing that the man came to say hello, Xue Liang immediately showed a flattering minion, and before the person came, he stuffed a silver ticket into the man's hand.

"Steward Qian, I haven't seen you for many days, you and Lord Fu Yin are all right!" Xue Liang said with a smile.

"I am very good if Boss Lao Liu is concerned. Lord Fu Yin often talks about the Dongting Biluochun you sent, haha! Steward Qian smiled.

As if he suddenly found the silver ticket in his hand, as if he had been electrocuted, the shopkeeper immediately shook his hand, and the silver ticket fell to the ground. smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you see that I got rid of all the silver tickets." But this little yellow and white thing is exempt, right? ”

"How can this be? If it weren't for the money housekeeper, it would be a problem for me Liu Zhan to survive in this troubled world, where else could I do any ghost business? Don't you look down on this filial piety? With that, he immediately took out two more silver tickets and handed them over.

This time, Steward Qian raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Liu Zhan! Am I a villain who forgets righteousness for profit, and I don't know how to be honest and shameful? Anyway, I'm also a person who has read the books of sages for a few days, so you must insult me with these yellow and white things to be comfortable? ”

After hearing this, Xue Liang had no choice but to bow his head and plead guilty. However, he was obviously experienced, and he set up a master's righteousness with the money steward, saying that if he received this money, he could use the money to honor his parents, and he could also use the money to help the common people, and if he didn't accept it, he would be sorry for his parents and the suffering people.

The money steward pushed again, and was finally persuaded by Xue Liang's righteousness to accept the money. The boy looked away with interest, and it was obvious that he was used to seeing this.

After Xue Liang and Steward Qian acted in such a scene, they sat down and tasted tea carefully, chatting leisurely. From the words of Steward Qian, it can be vaguely heard that Wang Fuyin is very unhappy, and it seems that he has suffered a lot of grievances from the Mongolian side but has no choice but to be an official with his tail between his legs. If one is not careful, his life will be lost, and many wealthy families in the city are also trembling all day long, for fear that their heads will fall to the ground. The straw mat business in the city has been booming recently, because the poor people are even worse than mustard, and they don't know how many people in the city will starve to death and die of disease every day.

Shi Bin was furious when he heard this, his face turned red, and the coffee table pressed by his palm kept squeaking, and Wang San pulled him back to his senses. This scene was seen by Steward Qian, and he smiled: "Shopkeeper Liu, you two guys are really good." One worries about the country and the people, and the other is smart and alert. ”

"Where, where, two things that don't make a thing. You know you're getting me in trouble. Isn't this a joke for the money shopkeeper? Xue Liang smiled and glared at Shi Bin.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Liang hurriedly left the mansion with Shi Bin and Wang San. Along the way, Xue Liang's face was black and he didn't say a word. Wang San shook his head helplessly, and Shi Bin's legs trembled even more.

When he walked through the alley, Xue Liang pulled Shi Bin in and whispered, "Is there paste in your head?" This is the realm of the Yuan people, showing a look of righteous indignation here, do you feel that your life is too long? It's not the meta-people who are scary, it's the dogs! Those brutes who have forgotten their ancestors! ”

"What to do? The money shopkeeper has already seen it. Wang San asked anxiously.

"It's all right, the money shopkeeper is timid and greedy for money, and I have sealed his mouth with a silver ticket. I don't think I'll be talking nonsense next time I send money. The boy also accepted my favor. ”

Wang San couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said, "Big brother, the fire chief is for our brothers, especially for you. If this happens again next time, we will be in danger. ”

"Look at Ah San, you have to learn more from him. It is necessary to resist the yuan, but it should be moody and invisible. We're on the ground of the Yuan people. After speaking, Xue Liang repeatedly reminded Shi Bin what to pay attention to in order to be safe.

Out of the alley, the three of them went to the inn to get some tea and sell it in the city. And Zhao Gang and the four of them retrieved some Maojian tea, a few Jun porcelain and Ru porcelain from the city. When I returned to the inn and sat down, I realized that the income from the tea leaves alone was one thousand taels of silver, which was really a huge profit.

Although the Yuan people have reached the south of the Yellow River, they have not mastered the manufacturing technology of those scarce items on the grassland, and they are still very hungry for these materials. Shi Bin couldn't help but think of what would become of pig iron, refined salt and tea after leaving the customs.

Isn't this the best cover for working in enemy territory? Thinking of this, he was looking forward to what was to come.
