Nanyi County has many mountains and little land, and the local people grow mulberry and raise silkworms for a living, if the silk of Xuandu Mansion is unsalable, He Wan said that how many people will fall into a "predicament" or a relatively light statement, she originally planned to use the word "broken family and people die".

It's a ripple effect.

Cloth merchants can't sell silk, weaving mills don't work, raw silk is not bought, and mulberry leaves can't be sold...... A big cloth merchant like the He family with a rich family can support it, but the low-level people who grow mulberry and raise silkworms can't hold it for a long time.

What He Wan said, others may not understand, but Cheng Qing will definitely understand.

He Wan wanted to find a new trade route is the way to cure the symptoms, Xuandu Mansion's silk is popular, a large part of the reason is that Xuandu Mansion waterways extend in all directions, cloth merchants from all over the country are willing to go to Xuandu Mansion to purchase silk, new trade routes, which means that the freight and time of silk out of Xuandu will increase.

Are merchants from other places willing to bear the increased cost of selling silk and buying silk in Xuandu?

The cost of freight has increased, the time has also increased, the silk of Xuandu Mansion is no longer the first choice of merchants, if the trade route of Huainan is cut off for a few years, the competitiveness of Xuandu Silk in the entire silk market will be greatly reduced, and budget-conscious businessmen will find a new source of goods that can replace Xuandu silk.

As long as there are benefits, the people in other places will also be willing to change from growing grain to growing mulberry and raising silkworms...... If Xuandu wants to regain the lost market share, it will be very troublesome!

"In a few years, the silk market of Dawei will undergo drastic changes, and the way to cure the root cause is not to find a new trade route, but to open up the original trade route and make the trade route in Huainan unblocked."

Cheng Qing's words silenced both He Laoyuanwai and He Wan.

Old Man He sighed: "This is something that we businessmen can decide, when the scarf thief will be exterminated, it depends on the imperial court." ”

"These scarf thieves are not easy to deal with......"

He Wan frowned.

Businessmen are the most tactful and can solve conflicts with money, and He Wan is also willing to spend money. On some of the more dangerous routes, merchants will spend money to keep them safe, and make good arrangements everywhere every year, so that their goods will not be robbed, and they will pay protection money tacitly.

But the scarf thieves are different, the old man He sent people wanted to get on the line with them, they took the property sent by the old man He sent out, and then killed the person sent by the old man He to make peace.

Old Soldier He is still very angry when he thinks about it now: "The two armies didn't fight each other, these thieves are really brutal!" ”

The words of He Lao Yuanwai and He Wan confirmed how bad the situation in Huainan is.

What Master Xu said, what Yu San said, plus what Old Man He said and He Wan said, can make Cheng Qing better understand the situation in Huainan and the style of the scarf thief.

"Don't worry, the scarf thieves can't become a big climate, they kill officials and landlords, and even the merchants who enter the Huainan region will not let go, the court will not decide to exterminate them, and they themselves will not last long!"

Don't narrow the road, people.

If the scarf thief wants to develop and grow, he also needs supplies.

Raising soldiers is to consume food, Huainan is drought, and the scarf thieves can now raise soldiers by relying on the food they robbed, so what about the food they robbed?

They should have also robbed a lot of money, but killed all the merchants, who would dare to sell grain to Huainan!

A thug is a thug, there is no long-term concern, and there are near-term worries.

Cheng Qing's words made He Laoyuanwai and He Wan look at each other, and after a while, He Wan whispered: "Maybe they didn't think about buying grain, didn't the imperial court want to send grain to Huainan?" ”

- What kind of grain to buy, the 400,000 stone grain that the imperial court wants to send to Huainan for disaster relief is the reserve grain of the scarf thief.

Thinking of this, He Laoyuanwai and He Wan both looked at Cheng Qing with worried expressions.

Who would have thought that Cheng Qing would be the adjutant of Huainan disaster relief, and this errand could pin his head to his belt.

Cheng Qing also felt a little cold in his back.

Is the two hundred soldiers sent by Commander Qi too few?

Although the place she was going to was not under the control of the scarf thief, it did not mean that it was safe, and the scarf thief knew that 400,000 stone of grain would be transported to Huainan one after another, and it was inevitable to get these relief grains.

Huainan disaster relief is really a big pit.

He Lao Yuanwai is very strange, two months earlier, the turban thief has not yet become a climate, at that time, the imperial court was willing to mobilize the troops around Huainan, and it was easy to exterminate the scarf thief.

Cheng Qing smiled bitterly, "The scarf thief has occupied the ancestral tomb of the royal family, and it is inevitable that the army sent by the imperial court will be restrained when it is encircled and suppressed." ”

No civilian military general dared to give an order to exterminate the scarf thief regardless of the safety of the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family.

On the one hand, it is cruel and tyrannical without concern, and on the other hand, it is held by people who are holding their soft ribs and restraining their hands and feet, and it is not easy to fight whoever is the coach in this battle!

The reunion of the deceased was supposed to be a great joy, but the three of them sat down to talk, each of them had something to worry about, and this reunion banquet was not delicious.

Yu San didn't know.

He watched Cheng Qing appear from He Laoyuanwai and He Wan, completely forgot about him, and invited the ancestors and grandchildren of the He family to the restaurant, but did not take him there...... When Gu Hongtai returned to the dock, he found that his hundred households did not look very good.

Is the wound painful, embarrassed to cry out for pain?

Alas, the Lord of the Hundred Households is also too good-looking.

Gu Hongtai secretly rubbed and complained.

Yu San saw Cheng Qing accompanying He Lao Yuanwai and He Wan back, He Lao Yuanwai walked in front, Cheng Qing and He Wan were two steps behind, walking behind, chatting all the way, Xiaopan's maidservant, looked at Cheng Qing for a while, and looked at He Wan for a while, and the expression on her face seemed to be very entangled.

Could it be that even Xiaopan felt that Cheng Qing treated He Wan differently from others, so he felt threatened?

This little maid's eyes are not as big as Bai Chang's, and her observation is very good!

Yu San decided to find an opportunity to ask Xiao Pan in private, as Cheng Qing's personal maid, Xiao Pan must know what happened to Cheng Qing and He Wan, and how far the two have developed.

Isn't it, it's been privately decided for life......

Yu San really didn't feel like he was thinking too much.

Because as soon as Cheng Qing came back, he called him aside and told Yu San that He Laoyuanwai and He Wan were going to go to Huainan with the fleet.

"No, I don't agree!"

Yu San objected on the spot, gritted his teeth and said: "It's a happy event for Lord Cheng to reunite with his old friends, but taking them to Huainan is just child's play, do you still have to send people to protect them?" Master Cheng, you have to distinguish between the important and the heavy! ”

Yu San was really angry, otherwise he wouldn't have called Cheng Qing "Lord Cheng".

Cheng Qing wanted to take He Wan to Huainan, Yu San was not only sour in his heart, but even more angry that Cheng Qing was mistaken by beauty and was not sober-minded, which added danger to Huainan's trip!

Could it be that the lives of so many people are not worth one He Wan?

Cheng Qing waved his hand, "You misunderstood, how can I be in the mood to travel with my old friends now, Old Man He and Miss He took the initiative to help...... They will help us take the burden of transporting food. ”

He Wan echoed: "Yu Baihu should not underestimate that the slave family is a woman, my grandfather and I are in the layman's business, and we also have our own way, how does Yu Baihu think we appeared in Huai'an City?" My grandfather and I wanted to find a new trade route from Xuandu to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and we personally tried it once and it was safe, the He family was by no means a burden, and we went out with dozens of guards to help! ”

He Wan's words made Yu San speechless.

Yu San glared at Cheng Qing with his eyes.

Dare to love the ancestors of the He family not to follow Cheng Qing to play in the mountains and rivers, but to lead the way for Cheng Qing?

At the risk of plastering dozens of guards in vain...... Businessmen are profit-seeking, the He family sacrificed so much to help Cheng Qing, the ancestors of the He family want to catch Cheng Qing!!
