After they went back, they had to learn everything from Li Zhihe and Su Hongyu's relays, so Han Qian simply asked Xi Ying to sit down and tell the second daughter everything that happened in Xuzhou in detail.

Han Qian drank tea, and secretly saw Yao Xishui, Chun Thirteen Niang and the two daughters looking at Xi Ying at this time, and then thought of the demeanor of Chun Thirteen Niang pulling Xi Ying to speak when he first entered the courtyard, so he confirmed that they already knew Xi Ying's identity before this, but they did not confirm that his role in keeping Xi Ying by his side was to contain the remnants of the Xi clan.

In the previous letter sent to Jinling, Han Qian only mentioned that Xi Ying was Feng Changyu's ninth concubine, and was thrown over by Feng Changyu as a hot potato because of the assassination.

Although he had made friends with Xi Ying from the three princes of the Linjiang Hou Mansion just now, it was obvious that Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang could not know this from Li Zhihe, Chai Jian and others so quickly.

Looking at Yao Xishui and Chun Shisanniang's reactions, he can only confirm his previous guess, that is, the late Red Mansion can't wait to send people to Xuzhou, staring at his father and son's every move in Xuzhou.

Han Qian sighed lightly in his heart, but he didn't dwell on this matter and asked about the progress of the rouge shop.

Although it was inconvenient for Chun Shisanniang to appear in public, after Han Qian left Jinling, he handed over the rouge shop to her to take care of secretly, and the more than 20 female dependents recruited from the cantonment military mansion were also handed over to her for training.

In any case, since Chun Shisanniang was assigned to the Zuo Division and was under the jurisdiction of Han Qian, she still didn't dare to be careless in the affairs that Han Qian had explained, and she should tell Han Qian what she had done in the past four months.

In the chaos of that day, the rouge shop in Ningxianglou was set on fire by Chun Shisanniang and destroyed a lot of goods, and then the owner of the shop was found by the staff to find an excuse to interrogate.

Although Yao Xishui took a step ahead and detained the buddies and female shopkeepers who had been in contact with them that day, and made them missing persons, so that the follow-up investigation of the staff division made no progress, but the owner of Ningxiang Building spent a lot of money to get out, and then had no intention of operating Ningxiang Building.

In the secret presiding of Chun Thirteen Niang, the female dependents recruited from the Tunying Military Mansion and born from the three aunts and six mothers-in-law were fully responsible for the operation of the rouge shop in Ningxianglou at this time.

The only problem is that when Han Qian left Jinling, the money left to Fan Dahei and Lin Haizheng was extremely limited, even if the lime kiln continued to produce money every month, but the construction of the warehouse, the construction of the brick kiln and the coal yard had to continuously invest money and grain, in addition to the construction of the Chazifang and the barracks There were more than 20 elite scouts who stayed in Jinling to obey Lin Haizheng and Fan Dahei's dispatch, and there was no place that did not need to spend a huge amount of money, and during this period, the military government Cangcao only transferred one million money to Lin Haizheng and Fan Dahei.

To tell the truth, Lin Haizheng and Fan Dahei can last until Han Qian returns, and they have done a lot of things, which is already quite difficult, and under the Ningxiang Building, it can only be pasted in by Chun Shisanniang for more than 1.2 million yuan first.

At present, since Han Qian wants to create a Zuo Si system led by the three princes, it is naturally impossible for this money and grain to be pasted into it by the Late Red Mansion or the Marquis of Xinchang's Mansion in vain; It is even more impossible for Chun Thirteen Niang to post this money herself.

"This is the private money that the slave family has saved by selling jokes over the years, and the adults probably won't bear to ignore the slave's private money, right?" Chun Thirteen Niang's spring eyes swept over with rippling water, and seemed to encourage Han Qian to give her the money.

Money food, money food!

When Han Qian heard these two words, he went crazy.

He got 500 loaves of gold from Tanzhou, but Ji Xiyao, Yang Qin's wife Zhou Rong and some of his subordinates want to stay in Xuzhou to rebuild Yangtan Water Village, build a shipyard, build a warehouse, build a weaving yard, and reclaim the fields.

Han Qian considered that Feng Xuan and Gao Bao secretly ransomed the Xi clan, as well as the necessary emergency, he left two hundred cakes of gold for Xuzhou.

However, these two hundred loaves of gold can only be supported by Xuzhou until the end of the year; And his father's annual share of three million dollars, he stubbornly paid off this year's account.

The rest of the money was exchanged for tea, medicinal herbs, dansha, tung oil, gold and silverware, jade, ivory rhino horn and other things, and transported back to Jinling.

Even if this batch of goods was successfully sold out in Jinling, Han Qian could recover five or six million yuan, but he had just been at the third prince's place, promising to paste grain, bacon, homespun cloth, iron, leather, etc. worth four million yuan to the cantonment military government.

However, the goods such as grain, bacon, iron and leather were mainly transported into Jinling by the four surnames, and Han Qian naturally had to paste the corresponding money in order to take this batch of goods and paste them to the cantonment military government.

He had to do the same.

He didn't take out most of the money and grain obtained from private transactions with Tanzhou and post them directly to the cantonment military government, why did he let the three princes and Li Zhihe support him, and why did he let Xinchang Marquis Li Pu, Chen De, Chai Jian, and Li Chong admit it?

In other words, if everything goes well, Han Qian will also have a small amount of two million dollars in his hands after coming back this time.

He didn't expect that Chun Shi Niang's side would now have a deficit of 1.2 million yuan waiting for him to fill it.

In addition to being involved with Kong Zhou, Chun Shisanniang is also involved with Feng Yi and Kong Xirong, there is no lower limit for many things, and Han Qian really doesn't want to pay her money.

"I mean really, if I let you live in this house, how much dowry will you bring with you?" Han Qian stared at Yao Xishui and asked.

Yao Xishui had no intention of making any jokes with Han Qian, and looked at him coldly with a frosty face.

Seeing that Yao Xishui had become so boring when he came back this time, Han Qian stopped joking with her, took out a book from his arms and handed it to Chun Thirteen Niang and Yao Xishui, and said: "Except for Thirteen Niang's side, I have to scrape together four million money to the four surnames in the past few days to paste the grain they transported to the cantonment military government, but I have no way to conjure up money." At present, the belongings that Zuo Si can get hold of are this batch of goods that I transported back from Xuzhou, and you have made up 1.2 million money and goods from it to take them, which is considered two clearances, and I have to find another way for the rest. ”

"Then the slave family will take these twenty ivory!" Chun Shi Niang read the freight list from beginning to end, but she was unceremonious, and wanted to take away the twenty tusks of the highest value line in the batch of goods that Han Qian had transported back to Jinling.

"Ten tusks are worth 1.2 million yuan in Jinling."

When the elephants between the Wuling Mountain and the Xuefeng Mountain have almost disappeared, they need to go south deep into the jungle thousands of miles away to hunt elephants.

Now the situation in Jianghuai has generally stabilized, coral ivory and other treasures are more and more chased by the powerful, Han Qian spent one million dollars to buy these twenty ivory in Xuzhou, but he didn't want to add only 20% of the price to convert it to Chun Thirteen Niang.

The Shitanghe warehouse can only do first-class wholesale, and bulk goods such as medicinal materials and tea must be sold to tea merchants and medicinal herb shops at relatively low prices, so as to return funds at the fastest speed, and the actual profits can be quite limited.

If Han Qian converted twenty ivory tusks cheaply to Chun Thirteen Niang, he would eventually not be able to turn over his hand.

However, Chun Thirteen Niang didn't think that he was in charge of the left division, so he must tolerate it, and said: "The adult must blackmail the slave's money, the slave family has a thin arm and thin legs, and he can't twist the adult's thigh, and he doesn't dare to ask Li Hou Ye and His Royal Highness to come out and preside over justice......"

"Well, if you have any strings attached, don't hide it." Han Qian thought to himself that Yao Xishui and Chun Thirteen Niang came to the door, and it was impossible for their eyes to be staring at one hundred and eighty taels of gold, and it was estimated that there was something to say to Xinchang Hou Li Pu It was inconvenient for them to say in front of the three princes, and sent them to wait in the middle of the night to uncover it in his house.

"I heard that the miasma wine made by adults has a miraculous effect on curing miasma?" Chun Thirteen Niang asked.

Han Qian's fingers tapped on the stone table.

At that time, the world did not know the so-called miasma, which was actually falciparum malaria transmitted by mosquitoes, but it was also known that it mostly occurred in the humid and hot southern Fujian, southern Hunan, Lingnan and even the tropical areas closer to the equator further south; In contrast, the spread of falciparum malaria in the Jianghuai region, which has been fully developed in recent centuries, is much milder.

Han Qian has been speculating about what kind of mysterious organization the Late Red Mansion is and what kind of secrets are hidden behind the scenes.

If it is said that the dispelling of miasma is a very urgent thing for the Late Red Mansion, Han Qian has to readjust his previous speculation about the Late Red Mansion.

In the area south of the Jianghuai River, there is still a strong power lurking in the Late Red Mansion?

Or maybe it is said that the late Red Mansion helped the three princes compete for the throne through the Xinchang Marquis Mansion, which is just one of their many layouts, and in other separatist forces outside of Great Chu, there is still the lurking and infiltration of the Late Red Mansion?

"I thought it was a big deal, just now in His Highness's mansion, if Marquis Li asked me, I wouldn't shirk it," Han Qian smiled slightly and said, "Ge Hong's "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" has a prescription for curing miasma, I had a fever in Chuzhou when I was a child, and I contracted miasma, and my master treated me with this prescription. ”

"Ge Hong is in a hurry, but it doesn't have that kind of miracle effect...... Chun Shisanniang blurted out, but asked Yao Xishui to kick under the table, so that she didn't have to say something to leak out, and it was too late to change her words.

Han Qian stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, secretly thinking, the few bottles of miasma wine he sold in Xuzhou, whose hand did it pass through, and some of them fell into the hands of the Late Red Mansion?

At that time, he thought that Tanzhou might have noticed the effect of dispelling miasma wine and would arrange for someone to contact him, but he didn't expect that there would be people arranged by the Evening Red Mansion.

"Yes, my master has improved the prescription, but since you have obtained the miasma wine, you should also know that the prescription is very different." Han Qian said unhurriedly.

When Han Qian was in Chuzhou with his father when he was a child, he did have to be taught Shigong boxing and archery by Taoists who traveled there.

Of course, Han Qian didn't care whether Yao Xishui believed it or not, he would not easily say the true preparation method of dispelling miasma wine, and said: "The method of curing miasma in the elbow backup emergency prescription, the improved part is a secret that my master does not pass on, I am afraid that I can't copy it to the two tonight, but in addition to the ten ivory, the improved method of the high-grade rouge, I can copy a stroke, and ask Miss Yao and Thirteen Niang to take it back, hoping to add some color to the girls in the late Red Mansion......"
