Hua Lan and the three of them went to the east market again, and roughly understood the difference in the color and price of the pearls, and then returned to the inn with a full load.

In the inn, the spring silkworm and Hua San were counting the pearls one by one in a dizzy state, and when they saw that the master brought two large boxes, they immediately came over in shock: "Master, how many pearls will there be in this, is this all counted?" ”

Hua Lan looked at the jewelry box on the table with the label attached, "How about Wei Cheng's pearls?" ”

"Wei Cheng and this one named Cheng Shu are similar. However, Cheng Shu is more realistic, and there are two more. The rest of the big treasures and two treasures are a little less, more than a dozen or twenty like this. ”

"Young boy, I've checked. Except for Wei Cheng and Cheng Shu, none of the rest of these addresses exist. ”

Hua San put down the pearl in his hand and said.

"Hmm."

Hua Lan nodded, made up her mind, and handed the jewelry box in her hand to the spring silkworm.

"Do you have to count them all?"

The head of the spring silkworm "boomed", and his face almost darkened: "Master, what's the use of counting these, do you really plan to do pearl business?" ”

"Don't count that."

Hua Lan changed her voice when she saw the spring silkworm speak, and waved her hand helplessly.

King Shou'an has always been very curious, so he didn't move back to the room at this time, watching Hua Lan's every move playfully.

"Won't the eldest prince go back and rest?"

Hua Lan noticed his gaze, looked up and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the eldest prince still has something to say?" ”

"Isn't there anything the playboy has to say to Ben Gongzi?"

King Shou'an hurriedly pulled a chair and sat down, "I will give the exclusive trade rights of pearls to the playboy, and draw some dividends every year, isn't it too much?" ”

"Huh, isn't that an exaggeration? The eldest prince is robbing money, okay? ”

Hua Lan smiled angrily: "The pearl trade pays attention to flexible development. If it is exclusive, it will inevitably hinder the healthy development of the market. The mountains and seas are remote, and the transportation to and from is a problem in the first place, but if the government puts pressure on it, the dredge will be greatly weakened. ”

The reason why Hua Lan did not agree to the previous proposal of King Shou'an to cooperate is also a consideration in this regard.

Now, with the addition of exclusivity, that's a huge expense. Although she has a systematic amount of one hundred trillion taels of silver, the whole operation will definitely affect the Liangxing trading chain of the Shanhai Pearl Trade Market.

Making money must be taken in the right way.

Hua Lan thought of Wei Cheng's pearls, and her brows furrowed into pimples.

"That's good, I'll send two people to be in charge of the pearl collection work on this side of the mountains and seas, and the eldest prince will be in charge of the trade transactions. In terms of silver, I can go out first, and as for the profit, I will give the eldest son seventy percent. ”

Seventy percent?

The muscles on King Shou'an's face jumped, and Queen Sheng'an played cards out of common sense.

Empress Sheng'an has a silver ticket, and it is more than enough for King Shou'an to find some figures in trade, and it is too tempting to have seven points of profit.

King Shou'an almost couldn't control the ecstasy in his heart.

Seven points of profit, seven points of profit! That's a huge number.

Countless little stars flashed in his eyes: "The playboy can be said seriously, and there is no regret." ”

"There is no remorse, and the words are the basis."

At this moment, Peony, who was still counting pearls with her head bored, suddenly stood up, and with a stroke of her stiff hand on the table, a large piece of the table was cleared.

She quickly took the pen and paper and set it up, then lowered her head and sat down at the table and silently began to count the pearls.

Her movements were done in one go, without the slightest expression on her face, and the spring silkworm was sometimes jumped: "Oh, Mom! What's the matter? The peony is getting weirder and weirder. ”

Hua Lan didn't think much about it, she wrote the deed, in duplicate, and said to King Shou'an: "The eldest prince, please take a look, if you can, this matter will be settled like this, and Hua Mou can arrange it quickly." ”

King Shou'an naturally couldn't ask for it, so with a stroke of his pen, he took out the imperial seal and stamped it, put one of them away, his face remained cold, but he walked away happily.

As soon as King Shou'an left, Hua Lan was even happier, and she didn't expect that King Shou'an would also start working for herself, which was something she never expected.

Does she Hualan care about seven cents of profit, what she cares about is the ten trillion taels of gold that will be spent.

How huge is the government's trade between countries? Hua Lan can figure it out without moving her head.

She glanced at the peony that was still counting the pearls with her head bored, and said, "Peony girl, can you help me with something?" ”

Peony stopped counting the pearls in a daze, and stood up dumbfounded. didn't nod, didn't shake his head, his eyes were blurry and cloudy, he couldn't see the emotions on his face, he was obviously looking at Hua Lan, but there was no shadow of Hua Lan in his eyes.

Hua Lan has begun to adapt to the state of Peony, and her understanding is that Peony's blow is too great. Such an abnormal state of affairs deserves sympathy.

So he said: "Hua Lan plans to leave the girl in the mountains and seas to be responsible for the pearl collection work, and has found two suitable candidates to cooperate with the girl's work." Can the girl say yes? ”

Hua Lan thought simply, the front was not far from Kunlun Mountain, if she brought such a depressed peony, it was inevitable that she would not take good care of her along the way. If you add trauma to Peony's heart, I'm afraid that these wounds will be more difficult to heal.

Although Peony is one or two years older than herself, she is still a girl in her cardamom years, and she still has a long way to live, how can she carry such a heavy burden because of this.

But what she never expected was that Peony refused very firmly.

Peony didn't nod or shake her head, but stared at Hua Lan's face, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

This face has no emotion, and it hurts like a heartache in everyone's eyes.

Hua Lan couldn't bear it, and then compromised: "Okay, everything is up to the peony girl's own wishes." ”

As soon as her words came out, Peony's tears immediately stopped. She didn't even look at Hua Lan, she walked to the table and sat down, and began to count the pearls very seriously.

This time, she counted more carefully, because she had just counted half of the number, and now she had completely forgotten about it, and she had to count it again.

Peony's movements were stiff and dull, which made Hua Lan's heart welled up. She walked over softly and said to her softly, "Peony girl, let's go and rest first, these pearls don't need to be counted." ”

"Oh!"

Peony's whole body stiffened, and Mu stood up in a daze, looked at the table with his eyes, and began to arrange the pearls on the table.

Her movements were very fast, and she packed the pearls on the table in the box in a few clicks, and it didn't take long for the jewelry box on the table to be neatly arranged, and the spring silkworm had no temper.

Peony is a little weird and infiltrating, but her hands and feet are indeed much sharper than her hurried.

Hua Lan asked the spring silkworm to help the peony to go to the room to rest, turned her head and took the wolf smoke and let Hua San put it outside, so that everyone slept with peace of mind.

When Shi Jingyun saw the wolf smoke, he had already arrived at the entrance of Shanhai Town.

The direction in which the wolf smoke rose was the largest No. 1 Inn in Shanhai Town, and he quickened his pace.

Hua San let out the wolf smoke and sat on the bluestone steps at the entrance of the inn, ostensibly watching the bustle of the night market gradually dissipate, but in fact, he was waiting for the arrival of Shi Jingyun.
