Looking at Xie Huizhi's energetic appearance, Xie Mulin was also in a good mood.

She looked down at the letter in her hand, and felt that she could mention it in her reply and say hello to Xiao Rui. She didn't want her younger brother to share Xiao Rui's cake, she just felt that the other party was rich and someone had scheming, if she could really make money, her younger brother would drink some soup with him, right? Xiao Rui's capital is not very thick, Xie Huizhi can help. As for the problem of the third brother himself lacking money on hand, is that a problem? She could still lend a small sum of silver here.

As long as Xie Huizhi nominally occupies a small share in Xiao Rui's business, in the future in Huyin County, the Xie family can come forward to solve all the troubles for Xiao Rui. Because, that is an industry in which the "children of the Xie family" have a share, who in Huyin County dares not to give face? Even within the scope of Huzhou Mansion, not everyone can ignore Xie Pu's hat of a high-ranking official from the third grade. Xiao Rui doesn't have to sacrifice his name as a relative of the emperor and the son of the general's mansion to settle things, and he is not afraid of alarming his family at all, isn't that the best of both worlds?

Xie Mulin wrote a reply to Xiao Rui very actively, and it was quite long. If Xiao Rui told her in the letter, she would never have the idea of replying. But since he was talking about serious things in his letter, she would give him a serious answer. Anyway, she is his "friend Mulin"!

Xie Mulin touched his face and found that it was a little hot, so he hurriedly looked at the third brother Xie Huizhi, who was thinking about which elder in the clan to inquire about the news, and saw that he was unaware of his situation, so he hurriedly picked up some cold tea on the side of the desk, took a sip, suppressed the dryness in his heart, and fanned his face again, before continuing to write.

In addition to mentioning that she asked Xie Huizhi to help him inquire about the news, contact reliable suppliers, and participate in a cadre stock as a way to provide him with shelter among his neighbors and clansmen in the future, she also discussed with Xiao Rui the first batch of goods to sell, what goods should be purchased.

If there is no accident, Xiao Rui is busy with new errands this winter, at most, he will spread out the shop and manpower in Huyin County, and then explore the supply channels, and it is impossible to officially start buying goods and selling them to the north. In the winter, the canals on the south side of the Yangtze River are barely usable, and the canals in the north are afraid that they will freeze and cannot be navigable at all. He will definitely wait until next spring before he can ship the first shipment.

It should be almost the turn of spring and summer when things are transported to Beiping, and it is possible that if you move a little slower and arrive in early summer. At this time of year, heavy fabrics are never popular; Even if it is rouge gouache, which is not a variety suitable for summer, it is difficult to sell; As for the tea, if it is not next year's new tea, I am afraid that the value will be greatly reduced.

The safest thing is, of course, to choose goods that are not so seasonal, such as paper and pen from Huzhou, muslin from Songjiang, and silk from Suzhou. These things can be regarded as daily use, as long as you don't pursue high-end products, the cost is not high, and it is suitable for Xiao Rui, who only has a capital of about 1,000 taels. As long as you pay attention to the fact that the cabin does not enter the water, which affects the quality and appearance of the goods, these things can be sold in the north.

Why did Shemulin know this? Of course, it is because the Xie family's firm itself is also doing similar business. It's just that the Xie family has enough capital, both fame, connections, and the confidence to ship goods from the north to Jiangnan to sell, which is completely in short supply. Xie Mulin knew the purchase channels and sales channels of the Xie family's business, and he was not worried that Xiao Rui would rob the Xie family's business.

If Xiao Rui really divided Xie Huizhi's dry shares, even if he borrowed the Xie family's channels, it would not be impossible. The Xie family is now on a smooth trade route, but they are worried about the heavy losses at the beginning of the year, so they have some financial difficulties, and every time they go back and forth between the north and the south, they can't buy and stock up on large quantities. It is said that their customers in Peking are always complaining that they sell too little at a time. Xiao Rui entered with one foot, which may not be enough for people to stuff their teeth, which is not a problem at all.

Xie Mulin wrote three pieces of letter paper freely, and then sealed it in an envelope, hesitated for a moment, and then wrote "Brother Xiao Chonglin's personal enlightenment" and "Xie Mulin Silence" on it, and looked at it after writing, and couldn't help but snicker, thinking it was quite interesting.

She handed the letter to her third brother Xie Huizhi and told him: "Ming'er, when you go to the old house, help me bring the letter to Xiao Rui." If he really plans to open a shop in Huyin County, I think you can participate in it, even if it is a dry stock in name, and it is okay to not divide his popularity in private. This is to use the name of your Xie family's children to shield his shop from the wind and rain. Our Xie family is a famous family in Huyin, and my father is the highest official among the surviving officials in the local area, but anyone who has a little bit of eyes doesn't dare to make any idea about the trading of your shares. Even if it's a county lord, you have to avoid one or two. If Xiao Rui didn't plan to let his family know that he had private property, he wouldn't be able to play the signboard of the General Mansion of the Pillar Kingdom and the emperor's relatives. With you in the front, he can join the army in the north, and he can feel more at ease. ”

Xie Huizhi is a good boy who values love and righteousness, and he already regards Xiao Rui as a good friend, of course he doesn't think it's a big deal to help his good friend. He also said: "I don't need him to pay dividends, and the so-called dry stocks are just coaxing outsiders." I just want him to allow me to learn something from his shopkeepers and see how they do business. ”

Although Xie Mulin felt that this kind of thing was not important, he still gave him advice: "You can also ask our shopkeeper." Shopkeeper Mao is in Jinling, when we write a letter to that side, we will bring you one, what does it matter? His ability to do business is definitely not weaker than the people under Xiao Rui's hands. ”

Xie Huizhi said a little depressedly: "No." The shopkeeper of our family was not happy to let me learn business, and persuaded me to study harder, and in the future, I would take the imperial examination with my brothers and become an official like my father. If they hadn't refused to teach me, I would still have used the idea of beating Second Brother Xiao's men? ”

Xie Mulin smiled: "Then it's up to you." But I still say the same thing, you go back to school, don't delay your serious studies, otherwise my mother will blame you, and I can't defend you. ”

"Got it! The second sister is really verbose! Xie Huizhi took the letter into his arms and ran out quickly.

Nothing happened overnight. Early the next morning, Xie Huizhi found an excuse, only took a small servant, got on his own boat, and went to the old house in Xie Jiawan.

Yesterday, he went to visit an uncle in the clan who sold Suzhou silk and Songjiang cotton cloth in the county town, and asked him about a few channels for purchasing goods, which happened to give Xiao Rui some advice.

Xiao Rui was very grateful for Xie Huizhi's suggestion, thanked him again and again, and said that he couldn't just give him dry shares, so he just counted him two shares. If he couldn't give Xie Hui a tangible benefit, how could he have the face to borrow the Xie family's sales channels?

In fact, Xiao Rui originally planned to ask the maid next to Princess Yan, who was also the former sister of his aunt Li Yaozhi, to help find someone to receive the goods after sending the goods to Beiping. But since the girl he liked was so enthusiastic about introducing him to the market, how could he not appreciate it?

Xiao Rui looked at the reply letter in his hand and showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Sure enough, when he first wrote a letter to the girl he liked, it was the right thing to do without writing love words and only talking about business. Only then will she be willing to write back to him. When the two have communicated more and become familiar with each other, is he afraid that he will not have the opportunity to express his heartfelt feelings and touch her heart?
