After setting off again, there was nothing to do all the way, and in the sea off Zhejiang, he once encountered several suspicious ships, Li Jing ordered the gun window of the gun warehouse to be opened, and the gun was pushed out, and basically no one dared to come to make a mistake. I also encountered a lot of merchant ships, some of which still had dealings with the Li family. At this time, Li Weier and Li Yueer played a great role, and they were very familiar with the business at home. Many of the ship's treasurers have met. Inevitably, there was a greeting on the board.

Soon the ship sailed into the mouth of the Yangtze River, Chongming Island in this era was not as big as later generations, when the ship passed Wusongkou, Li Jing unexpectedly saw the ice floe in the Yangtze River. This surprised him. Although he knew that this era was the end of a Xiaoice River, the climate was very cold. But I didn't expect it to be so cold, there was actually ice floe at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Looking at Li Jing's stunned appearance, Boss Zhang couldn't help but say: "I don't know what's going on in the past few years, the weather is getting colder and colder every year, I heard that Taihu Lake is frozen this winter, and the ice is very strong, and you can walk on the ice with a carriage full of grain." We were not affected much on the south side of Wuyi Mountain. In this world, I don't know how to live in the north."

Li Jing suddenly remembered a paragraph in "General History of the World 1600-1700" describing Emperor Chongzhen's reign of 17 years, and the drought and cold during this period are rare in human history. It's only been a few years in human history, and this kind of thing can happen, and it's luck to the extreme. In the second year of Chongzhen's martyrdom, the climate began to warm up. The Qing Dynasty was able to sit firmly.

In modern times, when the average temperature drops by one degree Celsius, crop yields drop by an average of 10 percent, and this is still modern with pesticides, fertilizers, improved varieties and advanced technology. In ancient times, this kind of large-scale cooling was no wonder, and there was no rain in the northwest and north China for ten years, from the Huai River to Beijing, the plague broke out, ten households, nine households were infected, I really don't know how the people survived back then. Li Jing secretly sighed in his heart, that person was indeed an unlucky child, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't save the inheritance left by his ancestors.

Three days later, the Phoenix anchored at the Xiaguan Pier in Nanjing.

Li Jing put away his phoenix flag in advance so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. After the ship came to a halt, he sent someone to inform the family's shopkeeper in Nanjing and organize the transportation of goods by carriage and horses. On the first day, all the 100,000 catties of vegetable oil were put into storage, and on the second day, the cloth and silk used to hide the silver, as well as the more than 100,000 pieces of cloth seized in the pirate's lair, were all transported to the Li family's store warehouse in Beijing.

On the third day, Li Jing took a carriage with 450,000 taels of silver and came to Baofeng, the largest money village in Nanjing. This Baofeng is located in Nanjing Xinjiekou Street, the ground is prosperous, when the street is open to five rooms, and the plaque is hung on Baofeng Xinglong four big characters.

Li Jing was going to go by himself, but Li Weier and Li Yueer had to follow, saying that they were protecting the Li family's silver. Li Jing had no choice but to let them change into men's clothes and set off together. There are more than 20 Li family guards, and the sword and white feather all have Yanling knives hanging from their waists. There are two short guns stuck in the holster on the back. Wearing a cashmere cloak that Li Jing bought on the light curtain, leather boots, and a capable green coat. At first glance, it comes from a big family.

Li Jing, Li Weier, and Li Xin'er wore ferret fur cloaks, which were even more extravagant. The faces of the three are similar, they are all handsome young men, and many girls have frequently turned back along the way.

The second daughter was even more proud. As soon as I walked into this Baofeng, the guys in the money village knew people, these three masters, either rich or expensive. Hurry up and invite into the private room and serve fragrant tea. Bai Yu presented Li Jing's name thorn.

"Small, Li Zhe, I don't know what the three sons can do when they come to the store."

"Save money" Li Jing took a sip of tea slowly and spit out two words.

"I don't know how much business the son wants to take care of in this store" Li Zhe tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, he had only been an apprentice for less than a month before he came to a big customer, and he had to complete this business no matter what.

"You can call the shots," Li Jing glanced at him.

"Childe said with a smile, our Baofeng is the premier big money village in Jiangnan, and the contemptible person is added as an assistant, so he can naturally serve Childe." Li Zhe said reservedly.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand taels"

"How much, how much does the son say" Li Zhe was taken aback, he thought it was a big list of thousands of taels of silver. I didn't expect it to be this number. It's really not up to him to call the shots.

"The three sons will be later, I will go and ask the big shopkeeper" After speaking, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and bowed back.

Li Weier said: "Looking at the other people's five and six, I thought it was a big shopkeeper, but it turned out to be just a runaway." ”

"That's it, I can't help but be scared, and I sweat a lot." Li Yue'er also said happily that she seemed to be very happy that Li Jing was playing tricks on this Li Zhe.

After a while, a septuagenarian walked slowly, and Li Jing stood up and exchanged salutes with the old man. Li Zhe introduced: "This is Mr. Fan, the shopkeeper of our store. This is Li Jing and Li Gongzi. ”

"The son is generous, and he will patronize the small shop for 450,000 taels of silver at a time, and he will be slow to be old, please don't see outside."

"Where, where, your number is the largest ticket number of Jin merchants, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are enough to worry about."

The old man sat down laughing.

Li Jing said: "These 450,000 taels have been transported to the door of your store, and it is not suitable to put them on the street after all, please accept it from the old gentleman."

Shopkeeper Fan beckoned, and immediately two middle-aged stewards bowed and went out.

Li Jing chatted with the shopkeeper Fan to understand the business of the money bank in this era, while waiting for Bai Yu and the two shopkeepers of the Sword and Baofeng to hand over the silver. In less than an hour, the handover was completed, and the efficiency of the Baofeng was very high. The two shopkeepers walked in and handed the shopkeeper Fan a checklist. Shopkeeper Fan nodded after looking at it. Xiang Li Jing said: "How much does Li Gongzi's silver ticket cost, do you want to exchange the silver ticket from the thirteen provinces?" ”

Li Jing said: "This money, 100,000 taels of silver bills was remitted to my grandfather in Taohuawu Town, Chengxiang County, Chaozhou Prefecture. 30,000 taels of silver tickets were remitted to my second uncle in Chaozhou Fucheng, and they all wanted 100,000 taels of silver tickets. I will take the remaining 320,000 taels into 500,000 taels of silver tickets. Here are the specific names and addresses of the people. Li Jing said and handed a piece of paper to Shopkeeper Fan.

Shopkeeper Fan took a serious look and said, "No problem, it turns out that you are the eldest son of the Li family's room in Meihuawu." Disrespectful and disrespectful, the old man and Ling Zu also had several relationships in the capital. When Ling Zun was the official of Shuntian Mansion in the capital, he was also taken care of. The silver ticket can be completed immediately, Li Gongzi can take it away, and the silver ticket remitted will be delivered within half a month. Childe rest assured. ”

"There is one more thing, in the future, my Li family has a lot of business in Jinling, so it is inevitable to disturb me more, it is best to assign a special person to contact me, and it is also easy to handle."

"It's good to say, I don't know if Gongzi can have acquaintances in the mask, if there is no old man to assign one, Bao Gongzi is satisfied."

"I think this Li Zhe is not bad, it might as well be him."

"Li Zhe, this Li Gongzi is the nephew of the old man's family, and in the future, Li Gongzi's business will be handed over to you to handle, you must be on call and do your best,"

Li Zhe hurriedly bowed down to give a salute, he was an apprentice at the age of thirteen, and at the age of eighteen, he turned to run the street, and he dared to do debt collection and small loans.

With two bills of exchange vouchers and 640 thick silver tickets, Li Jing walked out of the money village, Li Jing was satisfied, Li Weier and Li Xin'er were also arrogant, Li Jing smiled and said: "The big husband can't be without power for a day, the little husband can't be without money for a day, the ancients, don't deceive me." ”

Li Weier pouted and said: "The younger brother is the eldest husband, and our sisters are poor eggs."

Li Jing hurriedly took out a few, didn't count them, and said: "Take it, take it, you can spend it as you like, even if you go to Qinhuai River to listen to the music, you will be happy." ”

"Sister, what kind of fun place is Qinhuai River, let's go and see it." Li Xin'er asked stupidly.

"The skin is tight, isn't it" Li Weier grabbed Li Jing's ears, "Sister also dares to play"
