? Ji Ning bought ten acres of land at a time and came back, mainly to test the land price around the capital, and when he returned, he would ask Lin Yi to arrange to lease these lands first, and these fields themselves may also have tenants, which also saves Ji Ning from bothering.

Less than five hundred taels of silver, for Ji Ning, is not a big deal, what he is concerned about now is how to turn a large amount of silver on his head into an effective investment, so as to be able to complete the wealth of wealth, if you simply store the silver at home, not only may it be moth-eaten and weathered, but the silver will also depreciate because of the age of depreciation, even if the silver itself is not discounted, the price of silver on the market will gradually fall.

Ji Ning should give full consideration to the problem of inflation.

Because it has reached the twenty-sixth of the lunar month, there are only a few days left before the Spring Festival, Ji Ning finished buying the field, and then inquired about some things about the servants and maids in the field, and then went back, as for the location of the main altar and warehouse of the Giant Whale Gang, Ji Ning handed it over to Lin Yi to do.

Ji Ning is still very relieved about Lin Yi, after all, this is also what he discovered after arriving in the capital, with Lin Yi helping him to handle it, many things will become simpler.

On the same day, Ji Ning bought some good wine and vegetables, bought a lot of sausage and bacon, loaded them in the carriage and prepared to take them back, before he walked around the corner, he saw a carriage on the street rampant, Ji Ning only glanced at one thing and determined one thing, the carriage seemed to be a little unkind, he hurriedly avoided it, but before they could get to the side, the rampaging carriage came over, rushed directly into the flow of people, and knocked down several people on the side of the road.

"Murder on the streets, force the carriage to stop!" The people of the capital, the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, are not so easy to bully, a group of people surrounded the carriage, stunned by the roadside stall of the wooden platform, flat poles, racks and other things, stopped the rampaging carriage, the carriage driver did not wait to stand on the ground, there were already injured people around with flat poles and sticks rushed up, towards the coachman's head and smashed over.

The people have a strong sense of revenge, and they are shouting while fighting back: "You dare to commit murder in the capital, you are tired of being crooked, right?" Who's inside, pull down, pull down! ”

A group of people rushed up to pull the people in the carriage down to settle accounts, but Ji Ning didn't join in the fun, after all, he hid in time and was not affected by the rampage.

There was a person on the side of the road who took the exam: "The people in the capital are different, they dare to beat people in this blockade, what if they hit any powerful people?" ”

Someone next to him sneered: "Sure enough, the old man is not all smart and wise, look at the magnificence of the carriage, you will know that this is just the carriage of a merchant's family, the eyes of the people in the capital are thieves, if it is really a gorgeous carriage, or the kind of carriage with the emblem of the prince and minister hit someone, think someone dares to come out and cause trouble?" ”

Lin Yi looked at Ji Ning and asked, "Master, are we joining in the fun?" ”

"Don't." Ji Ning said, "It's better to go back to the house first, at the end of this year, the people are impetuous, if there is trouble along the street, it is always inconvenient for us to stay around!" ”

Ji Ning knows very well that in the winter leisure season, especially when the New Year is approaching, there will be a lot of idle laborers in the capital who have nothing to do, and with the pressure at the end of the year, these laborers may go to petty theft, and even open robbery incidents will occur.

At the end of the year, the capital itself was impetuous, and many people were forced by life to embark on the road of crime, Ji Ning knew that it might not be safe to walk on the street, so he asked Lin Yi to rush home early.

The crowd was still clamoring, and someone shouted: "What Qin family, who has heard of the Qin family?" Keep playing...... Ah, it's a mother-in-law! ”

Originally, the group of people who were injured by the carriage wanted to go up to the people in the carriage to seek justice, but when they arrested the people inside, they found that it was actually a woman inside, and they looked very demure, and they couldn't get out of it.

Assaulting a woman in public is a great moral issue, and if someone pursues it, he may be exiled or even hanged if he injures a woman or a child.

Because beating not only injures the woman's body, but also desecrates the woman's honor, if the woman commits suicide by throwing herself into a well, the punishment will be heavier, and no one dares to commit beating a woman in the era when the Fifth Principle is relatively strict.

The crowd, which was originally noisy, suddenly quieted down, Ji Ning was already leaving, but when he heard the words "Qin family" and "mother-in-law", he still stopped, and when he stepped forward to take a look, he knew that his conjecture was confirmed, and the person in the carriage just now was not someone else, it was Qin Yuanyuan, an old acquaintance from Jinling City.

Ji Ning thought to herself: "What a coincidence, how could I meet her in the capital, she wrote to me before, and I didn't pay attention to her, do you want to go over to say hello to her now?" ”

The person who was injured just now went up and shouted: "This lady, your servant has injured someone, and you yourself are on it, look, we don't want to worry too much about you during the New Year's Festival, so let's pay a little soup and medicine!" ”

Ji Ning found that there were no people who were really injured at all, and those who went up to beat people and begged for soup and medicine were basically gangsters, and their purpose was to slander people.

Even if Qin Yuanyuan was in Jinling City, she was shrewd and capable in business, and she was very personable, but in this situation of being coerced, with so many pairs of eyes watching, she was at fault first, and it was not easy to respond casually.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "After all, Qin Yuanyuan appreciated me when I was unwilling, and now I should come forward to relieve her!" ”

Thinking of this, he walked over and asked Lin Yi to take out dozens of copper plates, and said, "The cost of the decoction and medicine for the collision, these are enough, right?" ”

Those little gangsters were obviously not very happy, Lin Yi stepped forward and shouted angrily: "Who is going to follow, don't leave, let you look good!" ”

Several people were a little jealous of Lin Yi, so they quickly took the copper plate and left, Ji Ning walked over and looked at Qin Yuanyuan, and said, "Qin is in charge, are you okay?" ”

"Ji Jieyuan, such a coincidence?" When Qin Yuanyuan saw Ji Ning again, her title also changed to Ji Jieyuan, and it seemed that she was more willing to accept Ji Ning's identity.

At this point, Ji Ning is also easy to understand, after all, Qin Yuanyuan is an investment in him, and what he sees is that he will make a difference in the future and can help Qin Yuanyuan do business.

"When I came out to buy New Year's goods, I didn't think about it, Qin Dangjia was in such a hurry, was there something urgent?" Ji Ning asked.

"Alas! It's hard to say, Ji Jieyuan, it's rare to meet you, don't see you outside, why don't you find a teahouse? The concubine still has something to say to Ji Jieyuan! Qin Yuanyuan said with a bit of eagerness in his eyes.

Ji Ning asked, "Don't delay Qin's work?" ”

"If you delay, you will be delayed, if you can meet Ji Jieyuan, the next things will not matter!" Qin Yuanyuandao.
