Chapter 100: Want
Tao Fengtang asked Lin Jinrong: ...... What kind of spices do you want to buy? How much do you want? What did you buy it for? ”
The two had dealt with the exchange of gold and silver earlier, and Tao Shunqin helped Lin Jinrong buy saline-alkali land in the back, and Tao Shunqin returned to Qingzhou and really bought a lot of saline-alkali land to put it, with the example of Pingzhou in front of the comparison, the price of saline-alkali land in Qingzhou has also risen, but it is not as exaggerated as Pingzhou.
After these two incidents, Tao Fengtang also knows a little bit about this little cousin, he knows that if it is to prepare for marriage, Tao has asked Tao Shunqin to comprador a lot earlier, and it is enough, this time Lin Jinrong wants comprador spices, there must be other reasons, and I don't know what kind of huā she is going to have, so he can't help but be curious.
Lin Jinrong didn't intend to hide the Tao family, but also planned to use Tao Fengtang to talk about Tao Shunqin, so he laughed quietly: "I heard that agarwood, wood incense, and cloves are very short of these things, and many people can't buy things with money, so they want to buy a little and put them away, maybe the price will rise one day." The rest, such as sulfur, stone fat, pepper, etc., was not seen for the time being, so she did not mention it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Tao Fengtang couldn't help frowning: "Who did you listen to?" Reliable or unreliable? ”
Lin Jinrong said unhurriedly: "I heard from my cousin's cousin Zhou Mai." He came from Songzhou, he knows a lot of things we don't know, and he also said another big thing, do you want to listen to the eldest cousin? She pondered carefully for a long time, and figured it out, the reason why the imperial court would let go of the trade of these things can only show one problem, the lack of medicinal materials in various places, and the official market alone cannot meet it.
So from the age of her knowledge, this is the time when the lack of medicinal materials is most prominent, and the proximity of Pyeongju Cheongju to Yongchang is not obvious, and places like Songzhou "must be scarcer than these places, so it is not bad, and it can stand up to scrutiny."
Tao Fengtang saw that she said the name of the person, and she said it in a good way, so she really paid attention to it: "What else did he say?" Lin Jinrong told him about the drought in the north, and then said very enlighteningly: "Big cousin, I have an idea, I don't know, right?" ”
Tao Fengtang had already heard some meaning, and encouraged with a smile: "You say, I'll listen." ”
Lin Jinrong said with a smile: "In this great drought in the north, will the price of grain rise?" I heard my brother say that their hometown was flooded that year, and even the price of food in several surrounding prefectures and counties rose frighteningly, right? Third brother? ”
Lin Shiquan had been listening silently to the conversation between Lin Jinrong and Tao Fengji beside him, and he had already heard some famous names, and when he saw her asking for confirmation from himself, he replied very quickly: "Yes." The big landowners in several surrounding prefectures and counties have made a lot of money. ”
"It's normal. But the north is far away from us, and if the price of grain here is going to rise, it depends on what kind of drought is going to happen over there. Tao Fengtang fell into deep thought. He had the acumen of a natural businessman, and immediately thought of asking among the merchants who came and went to confirm whether the two pieces of news brought by Lin Jinrong were true.
If it is true, "find more opportunities to get a batch of medicinal herbs, and save the next batch of grain according to the situation."
It's not difficult to get medicinal herbs, but it's hard to find a reliable home. This family must be courageous and knowledgeable, and they are very familiar with their faces and faces, and they can bring this private goods to other state capitals safely and steadily. Who is suitable? In the blink of an eye, he had already thought of a few candidates. However, the problem of grain is not so worrying, the government only prohibits large quantities of grain exchanges with neighboring countries, and the people do not prohibit "the risk is not large, in short, it will not lose money."
You should inquire about both things, and then go back and discuss them with Tao Shunqin. Tao Fengtang was a little nervous and a little excited, and looked at Lin Jinrong with a different gaze.
It's just that he is cautious, and he will not express his position at will if he has not yet implemented something clear.
But Lin Jinrong had already seen that Tao Fengtang was moved by himself, "As long as he is willing to inquire attentively, he will know that what she said is true" Now that it is past mid-autumn, the matter of the drought in the north should have gradually spread to this side "At least the grain will be saved, but the incense, she really can't say."
She can only hope that she can save a little bit more or less, and make a profit when the government fully opens up the circulation of trading in two years.
But no matter what, half of the purpose of her trip has been achieved, and Lin Jinrong became happy, and continued to encourage Tao Fengtang: "Big cousin, there are the most passing merchants in this field, why don't you ask while you can?" ”
Tao Fengtang had this idea, so he smiled and said, "Let's go over there later." ”
said that Lu Lu listened to the conversations of the several of them carefully in the back, and his heart suddenly shook, and he suddenly didn't want to ask Lin Jinrong about why she hated him so much, why she hated him so much, but desperately wanted to know what they would say next.
Mrs. Lu is good at management, and he has also done things to sell goods in private, he has more or less heard of it, but because he left home since he was a child, he is regarded as an important child of the family, and the most important thing has always been to read and study, and the ins and outs of these things are not very clear, but this does not prevent him from being curious about these things. Moreover, he has a very important matter to solve during this trip: "This information is urgently needed."
I only heard Lin Jinrong ask again: "Big cousin, I asked you about the mountain where you bought spices earlier, and you said that you would come out and talk to me in detail, but you haven't said it yet." ”
Tao Fengtang no longer regarded her as a child, so he pointed to a house in the middle of the field: "See, there is a government office, which is in charge of this field, and there are many adopted sons in it You don't know who they are, but they do hang out here anytime and anywhere." The things here are all controlled by the government, and among the things sold by the government, we trade with the Darong people, and the official people must evaluate and determine the quality from them, and the turnover transactions are not allowed between the two parties to contact each other privately, and taxes must be levied afterwards. So the kind of thought you just had just now can't come true. ”
Speaking of this, Tao Fengtang suddenly lowered his voice and said in an extremely low voice: "About a hundred miles from here, there is also a field, bring light goods to that side, and trade directly with the Darong people, the price is only less than one-fifth of here."
Just be careful not to get caught by the government. If you want cheap incense, I'll get it for you the next time I go. ”
Lin Jinrong suddenly realized. It's no wonder that Wu would tell Tao that Tao Fengtang took people to the field alone and made a lot of money, but it didn't mean this field. She was a little hot for herself for a while, but she was still puzzled: "But the third cousin said, "Some shops also sell things secretly in private." ”
Tao Fengtang couldn't explain to her clearly for a while, so he had to say: "She just listened to it and ran away, how can it be so simple?" Even if it's true, you can't get it at this time, and you have to ask someone out to talk about it later. ”
Although it was only the tip of the iceberg, Lin Jinrong felt that Cheongju's trip had opened a door to her, and inside the door was a completely new and completely different world from what she had known before.
Heaven and earth can be so wide.
Since Tao Fengtang suddenly lowered his voice, Lu Mian consciously took two steps back, not eavesdropping on things that others didn't want to know about him. As a result, he stepped on a soft thing" accompanied by Wu Xiang's low strange scream: "Hiss." Lu Lu silently looked back at Wu Xiang, judging from the position Wu Xiang was in now, it could be speculated that he was also listening to Lin Jinrong and Tao Fengtang just now, and he had no intention of retreating and avoiding, so he was trampled on by himself.
Wu Xiang was a thief, and he was a little uncomfortable with Lu Xuan's dark eyes, so he immediately whispered: "Why don't you look at the road to see me?" ”
Lu Mian didn't speak, but let him go to the side, "Look around at will, as if his eyes fell somewhere and he was sticky, and he couldn't take it back, Tao Fengxiang and Tao Fengju took Lin Shenzhi to buy sugar gourds to eat, Tao Fengxiang wiped the syrup on Lin Shen's face, Tao Fengju was uneven for his little cousin, "I also want to wipe Tao Fengxiang's face, Tao Fengxiang shouted: "Little rabbit cub, you dare!" Knocked my curtain off, "You go home and wait to eat the board." ”
"It's this trick every time, are you greasy?" Tao Fengju was indignant, and Lin Shenzhi happily held the sugar gourd and smiled: "Second cousin, don't blame the second cousin, she loves me." I'm so happy today, I've never been so happy. ”
Tao Fengxiang sighed: "You honest boy, I really can't bear to bully you." "Took out a handkerchief and wiped Lin Shenzhi's face" and pressed Tao Fengju's shoulder, looking disgusted, "In fact, he wiped the corners of his mouth intimately for him.
"I'm not trying to do anything, I'm just curious. You just don't want to know what they're talking about? Wu Xiang cheekily touched Lu Mian lightly" Seeing that he was staring intently at a certain place, he took a look, and happened to see Tao Fengxiang wiping Tao Fengju's mouth, and he didn't understand what was so good about it, so he asked Lu Mian: "What are you looking at?" ”
"Know, but I'm not going to eavesdrop." Lu Lu retracted his gaze.
Wu Xiang couldn't help but feel annoyed: "My eldest cousin doesn't pay attention to me." ”
Lu Mu didn't answer.
The two walked silently, and Lin Jinrong and Tao Fengtang in front of them also finished speaking. Lin Jinrong turned around and beckoned to Lin Shenzhi: "Come here, little seventh brother, I'll take you." ”
Lin Shenzhi jumped over, held Lin Jinrong's hand tightly, and handed over the sugar gourd: "Fourth sister, you taste it, it's so sweet." ”
Lin Jinrong lifted the curtain, lowered his head and took a bite lightly, and said with a smile: "It's really sweet." ”
Lin Shenzhi raised the sugar gourd: "You take another bite." ”
Lu Lu couldn't help licking the corners of his lips. Unexpectedly, he remembered that when he returned home last year and saw his brother, he handed over the gift he had carefully prepared with great anticipation, hoping to get a smile, but he got a look of cold and scared and a back, and remembered the appearance of his biological mother every time he saw him, and his biological father sighed when he saw him, and reminded him repeatedly, and the mood was suddenly very bad, but he faintly had an impulse to want someone to smile at him brilliantly, without reservation, with great affection and trust. This desire and impulse surpassed even all his hopes now, and he wanted it so much, so much.
