Buying land and property, buying mansions, China has been up and down for 5,000 years, but I am afraid that this is something that all Chinese want to buy after they have money, and they will definitely buy it.

Lin Zhaoqing only then understood that Zeng Balang bought so much wood. However, transporting Hainan's timber to Nanfeng, she may not have much profit, Lin Zhaoqing was a little puzzled: "Naturally, it is to buy land and mansions." So you're going to buy lumber? But what I don't understand is that there is not much profit from buying this timber from Quanzhou to Nanfeng, how can you do such a business? ”

Banniang shook her head: "How could Brother Lin think so?" But you can't be mistaken about what you're thinking. It's just that I came to Quanzhou to purchase timber this time, it was because I ran a wood shop, because I took into account the competition between my workshop and a strong local wood shop, I was afraid that the purchase channels of wood would be controlled in the future, in order to avoid cutting off the supply of goods in the later stage, and I didn't look down on the usual wood, and I just wanted to come to Quanzhou to see and know, so I came to Quanzhou to buy. But as Brother Lin said, we don't care about buying land and property first, whether we buy a mansion, if there is no residential mansion, we will buy it and build it. If there is, it will be renovated and expanded. When the house is renovated and expanded, it is necessary to buy household goods, so that both the house and the household goods that need to be equipped in the house really need a lot of wood. What I want to do in the future is the timber business. I know what Brother Lin is wondering about, but now is not the time to say it, when Brother Lin arrives at the Li Mansion, let's listen to my business with Master Li first. ”

Nowadays, almost all buildings are mainly made of wood. The demand for timber is staggering, not only in any place, but in the entire Great Song Kingdom. Since ancient times, good timber has been something that rich people have rushed to buy. Not only when you are alive, but also when you die, you have to have a good coffin to take care of the aftermath.

Therefore, in the timber business, as long as you don't go crazy, it is impossible not to fight for money, and the difference is only the question of profit.

The reason why Li Yongxing was able to readily agree to cooperate with him was also based on this reason.

Lin Zhaoqing is strange that for maritime merchants, the profits of jewelry, porcelain, silk and tea are much higher than that of wood, how could Li Yongxing talk to Zeng Balang about the wood business? Businessmen are heavy on profits, and they can't afford to be early if they don't make profits, and it is impossible to cooperate with Zeng Balang just because of Lord Cai's relationship, so it is better to send silver directly to Lord Cai, which is more direct.

Seeing that Banniang no longer spoke, and said that he would talk about it after hearing about his business with Li Yongxing, Lin Zhaoqing naturally would not continue to ask. The two ate and drank in the carriage, and from time to time they arrived at the Li Mansion.

got out of the carriage and was led into Li Yongxing's study by the steward who was waiting at the Yimen earlier, although Li Yongxing did not expect that Lin Zhaoqing would come with Banniang, but he didn't say anything, Banniang stepped forward to salute Cai Junmo, and saw Li Yongxing after the junior ceremony, so he and Lin Zhaoqing both sat down.

Li Yongxing saw that Banniang brought Lin Zhaoqing to come, but he didn't avoid him, so he discussed business with Banniang, and wrote down the type, name, length and diameter of the timber to be wanted, and Banniang according to the current price of timber in the Great Song Kingdom, also made a budget and limit from the grid, and then officially set up a note, Li Yongxing called the steward to come, and took it to the yamen to file a deed, which is considered appropriate.

Banniang only has a deposit of 5,000 yuan, and Li Yongxing thought that it was unexpected for her to come to Quanzhou to do this chapter of business, and the cost of tens of thousands of yuan was just a trivial matter for him, so he didn't mind only receiving a deposit of 5,000 yuan. is that Banniang can't pay the balance on time to pick up the goods, as long as there is no problem with the price he buys, he won't worry about the wood not being sold.

After talking about things, Banniang wanted to say goodbye, Cai Junmo and Li Yongxing also talked about things earlier, so they planned to leave the Li Mansion with Banniang, Li Yongxing stayed for a while, and saw that Cai Junmo insisted on leaving, so he personally sent a few people out.

Because Cai Junmo also went back to the inn together, Lin Zhaoqing and Banniang couldn't go out to play anymore, so they had to send Cai Junmo back together. Who knew that Cai Junmo arrived at the inn, so he sent the two of them: "I still have to visit a friend, you young people can play by yourself." He glanced at Banniang again and said with a smile: "You follow Zhaoqing well, and it's not a bad thing to talk more." However, you are young and need to be measured. ”

This is a euphemism to remind her that she is a girl's family, Lin Zhaoqing is a man after all, and she should not be too close.

Banniang said in her heart that his father-in-law should be qualified, and hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, father-in-law, Balang knows in his heart, and he will not do anything to embarrass Brother Lin." ”

asked Cai Junmo again: "Can my father-in-law come back for dinner in the evening?" If he comes back, Hachiro can also make preparations, cook himself in the evening, and prepare a table of good dishes for his father-in-law. ”

Although she is not good at seafood, but there is no problem with making a few steamed and raw boils, and although it is autumn at this time, Quanzhou belongs to the south, and there are many vegetables, and the river fresh is not unavailable. She is also good at making a few dim sums, and it is not difficult to organize a table of dishes that are both beautiful and delicious, and can surprise Cai Junmo.

Hearing this, Lin Zhaoqing was amazed on the side, the gentleman was far away from cooking, Da Song Fan was a man, and few people could say so calmly that they wanted to wash their hands in the kitchen and make soup. I really didn't expect that this eighth prince of Zeng looked very delicate, and he was still good at cooking, and Lord Cai didn't think there was anything wrong.

Cai Junmo smiled and waved his hand: "You just have to play with you, if you want to show filial piety, you are not in a hurry, this time our father can see in Quanzhou, it is not easy, I am a father-in-law, I have to find a good meeting gift for you, so that I can be born to receive your filial piety." ”

Could it be that the timber business given by Li Yongxing this time is not a big gift? Banniang was speechless, and Cang'er and the others were not there, so they had to say goodbye with Lin Zhaoqing and go out to play.

This day is almost the most seaskin day that Banniang has ever lived since she crossed into this time and space, blowing the sea breeze, eating all kinds of snacks, and seeing the lively prosperity of Quanzhou Port, the first port in the East more than a thousand years ago. As far as the eye can see, there are neatly docked at the port waiting to load and unload goods, the merchants from all over the world who come and go on the wharf, the porters who work hard in the sun, and the restaurants that are open on the wharf to facilitate the rest and eating of merchants and dock workers.

Due to the prosperity of Quanzhou's maritime trade, convenient transportation has become an indispensable condition, so there are various bridges built inside and outside the city.

Lin Zhaoqing pointed to the most magnificent bridge and said with a smile: "Balang, this is a bridge built by Lord Cai himself, the most famous Luoyang Bridge in our Quanzhou City, what do you think?" ”

What could she think? No wonder the people of Quanzhou treat their father-in-law so much, he is indeed a good official who knows how to think about the people.

It was not until dusk that the two returned to the city. Banniang also wants to go shopping in the north and south streets, this is Haikou City, there are many shops on the north and south streets, there are many merchants from the south to the north, and there are naturally a lot of good things, women have the enthusiasm to go shopping in their nature, and she lives happily all day long in this life, and she wants to explore and study everything strangely, the most prosperous street in Quanzhou City, naturally you have to go shopping, and you may be able to buy some good things that cannot be bought elsewhere.

Besides, when you go out, you have to bring back some good things as gifts for your family and friends.

Lin Zhaoqing looked at her body, which was too thin as a man, and was really worried, so he persuaded: "I've been playing for nearly a day today, and I think you're tired, after all, you don't want to go tomorrow, you want to go to the street to see, why don't you go another day?" It's not early in the morning, I'll take you to a good place and have a good meal, how about it? ”

When he said this, Banniang also felt that her legs were sore, so she smiled and said, "Then listen to Brother Lin." Seeing Lin Zhaoqing looking at her and smiling, he said angrily, "This is the first time I've gone out, and Quanzhou is very different from ours, so I'm curious, and Brother Lin shouldn't laugh at me." ”

"I'm not laughing at you." For Lin Zhaoqing, he didn't do anything, and he just played around all day, which was also a novel experience that he had never had, and the kid in front of him was so rare to see everything, and he always had a happy smile on his face, and even with himself, he was in a better mood all day, which was even more pleasant than doing a big business, "It's just that it's rare to play like this for a day, and the mood is excellent." Speaking of which, I actually owe it to Hachiro that I have the opportunity to live for half a day. Let's go, let's eat now, you rest early in the evening, there should be news about the wood tomorrow, Quanzhou City is only so big, the people I sent are all competent stewards, and they will definitely be able to do it for you. Wait for Ming'er to finish the timber business, let's play in the city for another day the day after tomorrow, you go out, you always have to bring some things back to give away, and then I will lead you to see what you want to buy. ”

One day of getting along, and because of the same age, Lin Zhaoqing regarded her as a pampered son, so he took great care of her, so familiar with it, Lin Zhaoqing's original indifferent and cold feeling has long disappeared, Banniang joked: "Brother Lin, I can't see it, you are more delicate than that woman's heart." ”

Lin Zhaoqing was stunned.

Banniang saw that his face changed, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I never belittled Brother Lin, just a joke." Besides, being careful and taking care of others is not a bad thing. ”
