After waiting for five days, Liu Quan finally had news from his side.

"Young master, Liu Quan invites you to go to the county seat."

Li Changyue came to report, and Liu Quan asked Li Chuan to go to the county seat to discuss in person.

Li Chuan didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to the county seat with Li Changyue.

When he arrived at the Quanfu pawnshop, Liu Quanjin was not open for business, and he was waiting for him.

Li Chuan thought that Liu Quan was going to pass the word, but when he arrived in the backyard, he found that there was a prisoner waiting for him.

The eunuch is in his twenties, his face is a little pale, as if he has not been in the sun for several years, and he is also a little feminine, and his eyes make people feel a little cold, which makes people subconsciously not deal with these people.

"This is Grandpa Tian!"

Liu Quan was very respectful to Eunuch Tian and introduced him to Li Chuan.

"I've seen Grandpa Tian!"

Li Chuan arched his hand, looking at ease.

Eunuch Tian said coldly: "You are Li Chuan?" ”

Li Chuan said: "It's exactly below." ”

Eunuch Tian said with a smile: "Where did you get those Western things?" ”

Li Chuan said: "Naturally, I got it from foreigners. ”

Eunuch Tian stared at him for a while, and just when Li Chuan was wondering if this eunuch wanted him to tell the purchase channel, Eunuch Tian suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, our family doesn't ask where you got the foreign goods, our family showed those foreign things to Zhao Gonggong, Zhao Gonggong likes it very much, I want to meet you in person, you clean up, and go to Changzhou Mansion with our family tomorrow!" ”

"Going to Changzhou?"

Li Chuan was very surprised, and hurried back to the village to pack his things.

Li Changyue was not worried about the young master, so he hurriedly packed his bags and prepared to follow.

Early the next morning, Li Chuan and Li Yuechang went to the county seat and prepared to go to Fucheng with Eunuch Tian.

Looking for an opportunity, Liu Quan said to Li Chuan: "Li Gongzi's luck is really good, he was able to get Zhao Gonggong's summons, Liu Mou saddled before and after the horse, filial piety for nearly a year, and I haven't seen Zhao Gonggong's side, Li Gongzi is developed, don't forget Liu." ”

Li Chuan said with a smile: "That's natural, this time I have to thank Shopkeeper Liu." ”

"It's a trifle!"

Liu Quan nodded again and again, and said, "Liu just ran an errand, so it's good if he can help." However, Li Gongzi's Western goods are really expensive, can Brother Li give Liu a little bit of goods, so that Liu can also earn a few dollars to support his wife and children? ”

Li Chuan didn't refuse, nor did he agree, and said, "Let's wait until I see Gonggong Zhao!" ”

Liu Quan nodded and didn't ask again.

Eunuch Tian had a lot of pomp, not only with a carriage, but also with five guards.

Li Chuan also hired a carriage and followed behind with Li Changyue.

Jiangyin is not far from Changzhou, more than 80 miles, set off before sunrise, and arrive at noon.

Changzhou is the capital city, but it does not feel as prosperous as Jiangyin.

The eunuch guarding the town has a small mansion in the city, and the eunuch Tian did not go to the main gate, but took Li Chuan into the mansion from the side gate, asked him to wait in the front hall, and then went to the inner courtyard to report, while Li Changyue waited at the door, and he was not even qualified to enter the mansion.

After waiting for about a pillar, Eunuch Tian came over and took him to see Zhao Yuan, the eunuch guarding the town.

Zhao Yuan is in his forties, and he is born with a dignified appearance, and his face is also very white.

If he doesn't speak, it's hard to see that this is a unisex person.

"I've seen Grandpa Zhao!"

Li Chuan bowed his hand, but leaned over slightly, his expression calm.

"Bold!"

Eunuch Tian shouted on the side: "When I saw Gonggong Zhao, I didn't even kneel, could I not be looking for death?" ”

Zhao Yuan was the first, his expression was calm, and he didn't say anything.

Li Chuan said calmly: "I came here to give silver to Zhao Gonggong, if Zhao Gonggong doesn't like it, then I should not have come here." ”

Eunuch Tian continued to shout, Zhao Yuan waved his hand, and the male eunuch immediately bowed and retreated.

"You are Li Chuan?"

Zhao Yuan looked at Li Chuan, his face was still calm, and people couldn't see the depth.

Li Chuan said: "It's exactly below!" ”

Zhao Yuan didn't ask about the source of his goods, but said leisurely: "Our family is fortunate to have Your Majesty's trust, and we will guard Changzhou for Your Majesty, and we dare not or forget our duties at any time." Today, Manchurian slaves have repeatedly violated the pass, the army is overwhelmed, Your Majesty is thrifty, and our slaves are deeply favored by Your Majesty, and you should share your Majesty's worries, and you can serve Your Majesty, our family is very pleased. ”

Li Chuan didn't say anything, these empty words and clichés are meaningless, there must be follow-ups.

Zhao Yuan continued: "How many Western goods can you have in a year? ”

Li Chuan said confidently: "The father-in-law of the goods has also seen it, that kind of lighter can get 100,000 in the next year, 50,000 mirrors and glass cups are no problem, and toothbrushes and toothpaste can get 100,000 sets." ”

Zhao Yuan frowned and said, "The supply is a little less." ”

Li Chuan smiled and said: "My father-in-law doesn't know, the Western Road is far away, and it is not easy to transport the goods to Daming, and the prices of the goods of the Ming people are not cheap, and the output of these goods in the West is not very high, only so much." ”

Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said: "The state affairs are difficult, Your Majesty is reluctant to add a few more dishes for the military salaries of the soldiers, as the people of the Ming Dynasty, you also have the obligation to share the worries for the monarch, so let's do it, 200,000 taels of silver a year, and our family will support you." ”

"Two hundred thousand?"

Li Chuan's eyelids jumped wildly, and said, "This is a bit too much, right?" ”

"More than 200,000?"

Zhao Yuanpi said with a smile: "Our family has seen your Western goods, even if there are more, a lighter can be sold for at least five taels of silver, and if you are too much for 200,000 yuan, then tell our family where the goods came from, and we will find someone to do it." ”

Li Chuan said: "My father-in-law doesn't dare to agree with this, if there are only 100 lighters, a lighter can be sold for 10 taels of silver, but 100,000 lighters is not a small number, and one can be sold for 2 taels of silver. ”

Zhao Yuanyin**: "We don't care, 200,000 taels of silver a year are not negotiable!" ”

Li Chuan screamed a few times, but he could only reluctantly respond with a bitter face.

In fact, twenty taels of silver is not much for him, but it is too refreshing to not be able to promise.

Zhao Yuan saw that he agreed, so he smiled, and actually got up and patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Money is nothing but things outside the body, and it is the duty of a minister to be able to share worries for the king, rest assured, our family will ask for credit for you." ”

"Then thank you father-in-law."

Li Chuan can only be hypocritical and pseudo-snake, as for the face of asking for merit or something, he will regard it as the wind in his ears.

As long as Zhao Yuan supports him, it is not difficult to make money at all.

Although 200,000 taels of silver was a lot, it was only a small meaning to him.

It's really not good, sell more ginseng and antiques, and buy silver directly on Taobao.

If you can get royal porcelain or Yuan blue and white, it will be tens of millions. Tens of millions of gold coins, buying silver on Taobao can also buy him hundreds of thousands of taels, as long as Zhao Yuan does not force him to hand over the purchase channel, silver is not a problem.

Coming out of the eunuch's mansion, Li Chuanchang finally felt that life was starting to get better.

I finally came to Fucheng, and it would be a loss not to go shopping.

Li Chuan took Li Changyue around, he was not interested in the goods of this era, and finally swept through several pharmacies, directly received a large bag of ginseng, and bought a lot of various exquisite porcelain.

When he bought something, he avoided Li Changyue, and after he got it, he directly put it on the shelves for sale.

What surprised him was that there were many porcelains from Jingdezhen, although they were not as valuable as the imperial porcelain, and the quantity also affected the price, but tens of thousands of yuan could still be sold, and they couldn't stop the quantity.

More than 300 pieces of porcelain plus a bag of ginseng, the total price is tens of millions.

The only pity is that it takes time to sell all of them, and ginseng is good to say, this thing sells quickly, and it is a bit difficult for porcelain to sell, and if all the more than 300 pieces of porcelain are sold, it is estimated that it will take at least a few months.

It seems that it is still necessary to get high-end goods, which are not only of high value, but also sell quickly.
