The Xiongnu attack was not without warning.

The first is next year's salt tea trade.

In the spring of next year, the price of tea will soar in Daqi, and the imperial court will take back the right to sell tea among the people, and give extremely high compensation to the tea sellers.

Since then, tea, like salt, has been sold by the government.

The reason is that the Xiongnu bought these two things in large quantities and did not hesitate to raise the price, and the imperial court did not hesitate to do such business with the tribes in the northwest.

And for the tea merchants, they all relied on this to make a fortune.

Mingshu felt that she could make a lot of money even if she relied on Tun tea, although she couldn't get the money for the time being.

As for the rice noodle shop, it is not particularly profitable, but it is not bad.

The Li family has grown big little by little by doing the rice and noodle business, and has been the richest man in Huzhou for many years.

Mingshu's heart jumped and said, "Mama Du, I invite your nephew to go to the tea shop to learn how to take care of it, how about it?" ”

Suddenly such a sentence came out, Mama Du was a little dazed, and then said, "This ...... He's never done business......"

Mingshu smiled, "Didn't you just ask him to learn because he hadn't done it before?" ”

This time, Mama Du began to think about it carefully, and said for a long time: "Forget about the rest, this tea, I heard that it is going to deal with the people of the government, this is really ......."

Tea is a specialty of Daqi and has always been closely related to the government. Without twelve points of trickery, it is difficult to make a lot of money selling tea, and it is difficult to serve the official master well.

Mingshu didn't speak, she was also thinking.

"My nephew is an honest and down-to-earth child, and I understand the kindness of my mother, so forget it."

Mingshu suddenly laughed, and her heart settled, "Mama, don't worry." Your nephew is so good, sending him to business is not burying him! Mingshu squeezed her eyes at Mama Du and said with a smile: "Maybe in the future, there will be a rich businessman in your family." ”

Mama Du's eyes were full of doubts, but when Mingshu said this, she couldn't refute it.

Mingshu ate a handful of somen noodles, but also felt sleepy, so he rested after washing.

Early the next morning, Mingshu was dragged out of the quilt by Hongli, and chattered that she had to say goodbye to the old lady earlier.

Yesterday, the third lady took advantage of this to make a big fuss, showing that Shu is lazy and does not know how to be polite.

"Again...... Sleep a little longer......"

Mingshu turned over and rolled herself into the quilt again.

Red knotweed: "......"

Get.

"Lady! Mama Du's wontons are mushy! ”

Mingshu felt a thrill in her heart, and she was completely awakened by Hongli's loud voice. Well, don't sleep anymore don't sleep.

Seeing that Mingshu was awake, Hongli pulled out the quilt and dug Mingshu out three times and two by five.

When he looked back at Mama Du, there was no lack of pride in his eyes.

Or she knows the best way to get the Seventh Lady up.

Mingshu is not allowed to eat meat, and the wontons wrapped by Mama Du only use diced bamboo shoots and mushrooms, and then hang them in chicken soup, which is also very delicious.

Mingshu did embroidery in front of the old lady for a while, and then she couldn't hold her breath anymore.

"Grandmother."

The old lady looked at Mingshu and said, "What's the matter, I'm impatient like a monkey today." ”

Mingshu was secretly embarrassed, so she had to pretend not to care, and said, "I want to find something to do, it's too boring." ”

The old lady also pursed her lips and deliberately smiled at Mingshu, "Who was muffled a few days ago who refused to say a word?" The old man sighed, "You are filial piety, and it is already the ultimate to be able to follow your sister into the Zhenguo Mansion on the other side to meet Yanyan." ”

Mingshu naturally knew this, but she didn't want to go out and play.

"Grandmother, my uncle gave me three shops." Mingshu looked up at the old lady and smiled: "I want to take care of it myself." ”

"Ling Ling wants to be a wealthy businessman?" The old lady leaned over and scratched Mingshu's nose, and smiled kindly, "But you are still young now, and when you are older, grandmother will take care of my dowry shop Zhuangzi for you." ”

Mingshu knew that her grandmother wasn't joking, but she wasn't joking either.

Mingshu straightened up and said, "Grandmother, Ling Ling is still young, but grandmother is so powerful, she can naturally teach me slowly." ”

The little girl has a fleshy face, which is funny and funny. Not only the old lady, but even Bai Zhi behind the old lady also held back her laughter and held back her laughter.

Mingshu naturally knew that her words were funny, but she only shook her grandmother's sleeve unconsciously, and hummed coquettishly with her soft white little face.

Grandmother eats her coquettish set the most.

"Lingling, three shops are not a small matter anymore." The old lady is in color.

Mingshu said crisply: "I know." After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "Grandmother, Ling Ling has no parents, and it would be a good thing if he could rely on himself in the future. ”

As soon as the words fell, Mingshu looked at her grandmother a little nervously.

She thought her grandmother would be angry.

But the old man didn't speak for a long time, and he said slowly for a long time: "My Lingling'er has such ambition, and my grandmother is also relieved." ”

How long can she protect the order? Half of his body is in the ground.

Other orphan girls are at least protected by their clan uncles, but they can ......

The old lady swallowed the astringent breath in her throat, pinched Mingshu's face, and said, "Okay, grandmother's decree is in charge of the shop." ”

Mingshu also lost her mind, and when she reacted, she hurriedly teased the depressed old man, "Then it's okay, if my grandmother thinks I'm stupid, I won't learn." ”

The old lady laughed, "You slippery head, but I owe you?" ”

Ming Shu curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Apart from me, who else can get the true inheritance of the ancestors?" You are willing to lose your heirs. ”

The two burst into laughter.

And on the second day, Bai Zhi followed Mingshu to Li Jiabai's shop for Mingshu.

The tea shop is not making money for the time being, and Bai Zhi and the old lady don't pay much attention to it.

Mingshu instructed the shopkeeper to store the goods first, only saying that it was to be used in the house. Bai Zhi didn't interrupt because of her face, and the shopkeeper did it because of the Hou Mansion, so she did it sincerely.

When she returned to the carriage, Bai Zhi asked out loud, and Mingshu was also fooled.

The rice noodle shop is the old industry of the Li family, since Li Jiabo dares to give it directly to his eight-year-old niece, the shop is full of reliable stewards, and Mingshu and Bai Zhi can't handle the slightest snack.

But the income is very good, and all the money earned is deposited in the money bank to Mingshu.

Bai Zhi followed Mingshu a few times, but because she couldn't help anything, she didn't go.

Mingshu doesn't need the old lady's cover at all, and she can directly do the things in the main shop by herself.

A year later, the sage distributed tea quotations and took back the tea leaves of all the tea merchants in the private sector at a high price. Mingshu sold all the tea leaves under the tun and made a lot of money, plus the money from the rice and noodle shop, and finally had a small asset.
