In such a hurry, Xiao Nuan and Zhao Shuyan arrived in Yangzhou City on the fourth day.

Yangzhou's incense and silk are famous all over the world. It is a bustling place, with rows of shops, pedestrians on the road dressed in fine costumes, and painting boats on the water that are ingenious, and bursts of vocal music from time to time.

Green Butterfly handed the reins of the horse to Zhao De, and followed Xiao Nuan step by step to ensure her safety. Xiao Nuan walked on the street and looked around, and said with emotion, "The capital must be nothing more than that!" ”

Zhao Shuyan said with a smile, "The prosperity of Yangzhou began when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and it is inherently known as 'Yang Yi Yi Two'. However, the capital is very different from this, where the wealth is abundant, and the capital is rich. ”

Xiao Nuan, a vulgar person, stood on the three-eyed bridge, looking at the cruise ship in the river, and couldn't help but think sourly, "The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March, Yangzhou, Yangzhou——"

Zhao Shuyan couldn't help laughing, "Cousin is wrong again." ”

Xiao Nuan opened her mouth wide, how could this be wrong? This is a famous phrase that has been sung through the ages!

"Yangzhou in Taibai's poem is not here, but refers to Jiangnan. Yangzhou in the former dynasty contains Guangling, Xuanzhou, Runzhou many places, here is the Guangling in Yangzhou. Zhao Shuyan explained, "After Taizu unified the world, Kyushu was redrawn, and this place was renamed Yangzhou. ”

Xiao Nuan suddenly realized, "So that's the case!" That's why Li Taibai's poem is called "Sending Meng Haoran to Guangling"! ”

When she was a child, she felt that there was something wrong with this poem, obviously saying that she was going to Guangling, but the poem said that she was going to Yangzhou. When she was a child, she thought that she had to go through Yangzhou to go to Guangling......

The group led the horses and shuttled through the street for a long time before they came to the Mingdu Inn where the second master of the house in Ayaluo Fang stayed and stayed in Zhanfu.

Seeing that Zhao Shuyan had finally arrived, Zhan Fu hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to salute, "Young Master." ”

Zhao Shuyan nodded, took him into the room, and introduced Xiao Nuan beside him to him, "My cousin Qin Rinuan, the business of Ayaluo Fang will be taken care of by him in the future, and I will no longer interfere." ”

Coincidentally, Zhao Shuyan's mother has the same surname as Qin, so he said that Qin Rizhan was his cousin, Zhanfu immediately believed it, and hurriedly bent down to ask for peace, "Villain Zhanfu, I have seen my cousin young master." ”

Xiao Nuan nodded slightly. Zhanfu didn't recognize her, but she was familiar with him Zhanfu, this second shopkeeper was smart, smart, and reliable, and was one of the henchmen she decided to focus on cultivating after many examinations.

"Please, the younger brother is young and shallow, and I ask the second shopkeeper to take care of him in the future." Xiao Nuan said politely.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhan Fu straightened up, but his heart was very sad. Before he came, he had heard the big shopkeeper mention that Young Master Zhao intended to hand over the business of the store to his henchmen, and he was happy for a few days, but he didn't want to come but was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old yellow-mouthed child!

A childish teenager who has not been taken off, and his heart has not been settled, how can he make everyone in Ayaluofang respect?

Xiao Nuan and Zhao Shuyan naturally knew what he was thinking, but they didn't pick it out, they just asked about the details of his visit to the cloth merchant in the past few days.

Zhanfu put down his worries and introduced them one by one.

Xiao Nuan also had a bottom in her heart after listening to it, no wonder people didn't care about the business of Ayaluofang. Ayaluofang is medium in Ji County, and it is just a small cloth village in Yangzhou.

When Mr. Zhan was alive, people still bought him a little affection and treated him as a big customer, but now that the Zhan family is in decline, people will not spend time on small shrimp such as Ayaluo Fang, and bother to provide good cloth.

So now, Xiao Nuan's task is very clear - to move with affection, to allow them to reach a mutually beneficial long-term cooperative relationship with Ayaluofang!

After that day, Xiao Nuan, who didn't care about the fatigue of the saddle horse, called Zhanfu to the room, carefully inquired about the characteristics of each family's fabrics, the price, the preferences of the owner, the quality of the goodwill, etc., and discussed with Zhanfu how to take them down.

This discussion has reached the time of the lamp, and Zhan Fu's attitude towards this young master has changed from superficial respectfulness to suspicion.

In the next three days, after Zhanfu visited three cloth merchants with Zhao Shuyan and Young Master Cousin, his respect for Young Master Cousin was as high as Mount Tai and as wide as a river.

Zhao Shuyan saw all this in his eyes, and he felt a sense of pride for no reason. And because of Xiao Nuan's desperate Sanlang's energy, he also aroused his enthusiasm, and after inspecting the three restaurants of the Zhao family non-stop, he immediately took Xiao Nuan to Xuzhou.

After getting dressed up and leaving the city, Xiao Nuan turned over his horse, turned the horse's head, pointed at the word Yangzhou carved in bluestone with a horsewhip, and said loudly, "In the latest three years, the most profitable cloth village here must be my Qin Rizhan!" ”

Zhanfu, who was just about to climb on horseback, was shocked by this sentence and his legs weakened, and he actually fell to the ground and smashed up a cloud of dust.

Xiao Nuan laughed, "Zhanfu! ”

"The little ones are here!"

"If you are angry, three years later, you are the shopkeeper here, and this young master allows you to pay a hundred taels a month, and a dividend of more than 1,000 a year!"

Zhan Fu jumped up, waved his fists and shouted, "The little one must fight for the qi!" ”

The people who entered and exited the city gate looked at the master and servant like idiots, but Zhao Shuyan knew that Xiao Nuan was serious, and couldn't help but have strong expectations, wondering what kind of elegance Xiao Nuan would be in three years.

At that time, she should be a big girl, can she still run around disguised as a man?

Although Xuzhou is not as prosperous as Yangzhou, the ramie cloth produced here is one of the big Mondays, and Xiao Nuan stayed here for one more day than when he was in Yangzhou.

Because in addition to negotiating accidents with several major cloth merchants, Xiao Nuan also used Zhao Shuyan's connections to buy a flower seed called "cotton" here.

Zhao Shuyan was very puzzled by this, but Xiao Nuan smiled, "Little brother thinks this cotton is very comfortable to the touch, if it can be woven into cloth, it may be a good business." ”

Zhao Shuyan held the slightly yellow cotton in the white and thought, "This thing is indeed soft, but its seeds are very heavy, and it is not easy to remove the seeds. ”

He said the key in one sentence, deseeding is an important part of cotton weaving.

Xiao Nuan's history is not good, and I don't know when cotton entered China, but cotton was already in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was almost parallel to the early Song Dynasty, but it was planted as a flower in a garden or pot for ornamental use, not a crop.

At present, she can identify the area with more cotton planting, which is Xuzhou!

Therefore, the main purpose of her trip, in addition to stabilizing the source of high-quality cloth, is to purchase cotton and find flower farmers who know how to plant cotton, plant cotton in Ji County next year, and then try to weave, and then make a lot of money!

But this is by no means a one-day plan, and Xiao Nuan is not very sure at present, and he can't listen to these Zhao Shuyan. After Zhanfu came back, Xiao Nuan asked, "The cloth merchant who purchased the goods from Nishang Cloth Village has been found?" ”

Nine out of ten of the cloth of Nishang Cloth Village are also from Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and Xiao Nuan has touched the bottom of Nishang when he was in Yangzhou, and of course he must find out here.

Because when she goes back, she's going to swallow the neon dress!

"I found out, there are three of them here. One is the same as our Ayaluo Fang, and the remaining two villains have made an appointment with their owners for you, one tonight and one at noon tomorrow. "Since I knew that as long as I worked hard and competed, I would be able to become a big shopkeeper with hundreds of monthly cases and annual dividends of more than 1,000 in three years, Zhanfu's ability was raised by a lot, and even Zhao Shuyan rushed to the breach.

"Well done, let's go!" Xiao Nuan stood up and said goodbye, "Cousin, little brother went?" ”

"Go ahead, don't drink." After Zhao Shuyan finished telling Xiao Nuan to leave, he said to himself and smiled, "It seems that Zixu's embroidery workshop is about to change owners." ”
