Cheng Qing's nose was itchy.

When he walked out of He's house, he sighed secretly.

Let's cross over, it's easy to turn a woman into a man directly, who to marry is not to marry, for the sake of He Lao's foreign and affectionate face, she must have married He Wan without hesitation.

The little girl speaks straight, very cute, put it next to her worry-free, don't worry about the calculation of the person next to the pillow, the more you think about it, the more appropriate.

But he didn't change from a woman to a man, and the woman disguised herself as a man to marry the little girl home, and suddenly became a scum who cheated on marriage.

Cheng Qing, who didn't want to be a scumbag, rejected He Laoyuan's favor, and when he walked out of the gate of He's mansion, he felt that his friendship with He Laoyuanwai was probably going to end.

Si Yan didn't know what Old Man He said to Cheng Qing at the table, Cheng Qing went to take the hospital exam, but Si Yan didn't follow.

Dumping goods at the dock is secondary, and the first thing to do is to serve your own young master. The matter that Cheng Qing explained was also very important, and Cheng Qing did not allow Si Yan to follow.

Si Yan's business is related to the He family, seeing Cheng Qing coming out of He Mansion with a serious face, Si Yan carefully reminded:

"Young master, there are a lot of people who want to do business at the dock, you said that spring is a good time to sell silk, the small one has no experience before, thanks to the fifth master and the old man He secretly took care of it, the small one was not cheated out of his capital......"

The fifth master won't talk about it.

He is really good to the young master.

Nanyi has a lot of water and mountains, and there are few fields that can grow rice, so the people choose to plant mulberry trees to raise silkworms.

Mulberry leaves raise silkworms, silkworms spin silk, silk can weave silk cloth, silk cloth is more expensive than homespun cloth, silk can also replace grain to pay taxes, and the people in each place have their own way of survival.

Nanyi's style of study is prosperous, and every family wants men to study, but they need silver to study, where does the money come from?

A rough man who works hard to serve the fields is not as profitable as a woman with dexterous hands to weave silk, and if he can have a few looms at home, it is no problem for men to study, and if he is thrifty, he can save a family business, and he can buy a house and land.

The Cheng family also has its own mulberry field, a weaving factory, and a cloth shop.

The He family also started by collecting silk and weaving cloth, and now they are also famous cloth merchants in Xuandu Prefecture.

It is the house rented by Cheng Qing's family in Yangliu Lane, which was originally the courtyard of Wang cloth merchants in the county, Wang cloth merchants were originally very wealthy, a few years ago, the silk woven by Wang's cloth village even took the procurement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and became a tribute, and the Wang family also put on the style of the imperial businessman, who knows that Xiao He defeated Xiao He, Chengping five years, the silk supply of the Wang family had a problem, the Wang family was beaten back to its original shape, not to mention, peers seized the opportunity to run, the Wang family industry was hit to ten not one, the house can be sold all sold, and the one that was not sold for a while was also rented out.

The silk cloth of Xuandu Province is very famous, and Nanyi County is one of the raw materials and primary processing bases of Xuandu Silk Mansion.

The waterways of Nanyi County extend in all directions, and there are merchant ships from other places docking on the big wharf every day, and merchants sell silk and collect cloth from here. The local market is basically monopolized by a few large households in the county, and the remaining scraps are not so easy to swallow, Cheng Qing converted the imperial court's pension into silver, of which 500 taels were given to Si Yan as the capital, and sent Si Yan to the countryside to collect silk.

The silk collected is not sold immediately, but is taken to the pawnshop and exchanged for silver, and then continues to collect the silk.

According to what Cheng Qing said, Si Yan invited two helpers to select and sort out the silk collected little by little, and the last burden was of the highest quality. Such silk is rushed to be purchased by foreign merchants.

The capital of five hundred taels of silver has only been busy for two months, and it has tripled, which is why Cheng Qing has the confidence to promise to give the Liu family fifty taels every month.

Is this money good or not?

In fact, it is not easy to earn.

Not to mention how hard it is to go to the countryside to collect silk, the villagers who raise silkworms are not all honest, add water and sand to the silk to increase the weight, and shoddy, bury the bad silk underneath, and you will be fooled if you are not careful!

Cheng Qing repeatedly told him that Si Yan was inexperienced at the beginning and was deceived a few times.

Later, Si Yan sent the silk to the pawnshop, and got the guidance of the pawnshop shopkeeper, Si Yan combined with Cheng Qing's teaching, and slowly touched the doorway, and made a huge profit in just two months.

There is no treachery and no business, why should the shopkeeper of the pawnshop be good to instruct Si Yan on business, the surname of the owner of the pawnshop is He, who is helping Cheng Qing It is self-evident.

It can be said that Old Man He really takes care of Cheng Qing everywhere, Si Yan felt that his young master didn't seem to be very happy when he came out of He Mansion, so he couldn't help but persuade him.

Cheng Qing's skull hurt even more.

Si Yan really doesn't open any pot to mention, just the pawnshop on the dock, He Lao Wai also mentioned it just now, saying that it is one of He Wan's future marries...... This kind of good thing with both wealth and sex, is Cheng Qing very willing to push it out?

She doesn't care about silver, because she is confident that she can earn silver, but it doesn't mean that she thinks she has too much money!

- Alas!

"Don't talk about it, let's go to Wuxin Town first."

Cheng Qinggang refused to marry someone's granddaughter, and before He Laoyuan dissipated his anger, he had to put aside the affairs of the He family and go to the Zhou family as originally planned.

As the name suggests, the first surname in the town is the surname "Wu", Zhou Heng's family is a foreign surname, the foundation in Wuxin Town is not deep, there are dozens of acres of thin fields at home, and he also grows mulberry and silkworms, his family is quite similar to Cheng Qing's family, only Zhou Heng has an only son, and the others are daughters, Zhou's mother took her daughters to raise silkworms and weave cloth to support Zhou Heng to study, Zhou's father is also an old showman, and he ran a Mengxue in the village to teach children enlightenment, collect some restraints to subsidize the family, and there is no big interest in his life, and the proudest thing is probably to teach Zhou Heng?

The Zhou family's family background is not good, and they can be upright when they go out, because Zhou's father's profession is very decent, unlike the Cui family, which is a businessman!

If Zhou Heng doesn't get close to Cui Yan, he won't be discriminated against in the academy.

On the way to Wuxin Town, Cheng Qing took care of Zhou Heng's situation.

As for why Zhou Heng wanted to be Cui Yan's follower, the reason is also very simple, Zhou Heng is very short of money, Cui Yan is generous, in terms of face and benefits, Zhou Heng chose the latter - Cheng Qing did not discriminate against this, her family overturned the case before she was very short of money, she really didn't have enough to eat and wear, so she wouldn't think that she was a businessman in Dawei and wanted to take the imperial examination, and she became a low-status trader first!

Therefore, Cheng Qing's definition of Zhou Heng is a person who understands.

People don't act as followers in vain, take Cui Yan's benefits, and take Cui Yan's benefits everywhere, and the equivalent exchange of silver and goods is exactly the mode that Cheng Qing is most familiar with.

When I arrived in the countryside of Wuxin Town, I quickly inquired about the Zhou family.

The Zhou family is holding a funeral.

Before the smell of medicine dissipated, the Zhou family hung a white lantern, Zhou Heng wore a filial piety suit, with a strip of black cloth wrapped around his arm, and the whole person was swollen and weak.

"I haven't congratulated Senior Brother Cheng on Lian Zhong Sanyuan...... Thanks to Senior Brother Cheng's help, the foolish brother can see his father for the last time! ”

The good doctor Cheng Qing invited from Xuandu Mansion still failed to save Zhou Heng's father's life, and Zhou's father's illness dragged on for more than a month, and it had reached the point of running out of oil and lamps.

But the doctor of Xuandu Mansion is also quite capable, and after some treatment, Zhou's father, who was in a dying state, persevered for a few more days, and survived to the hospital test list, and when he heard the news that Zhou Heng was in Xiucai, he smiled and closed his eyes, and he was also dead.
