Su Mingxi said with a smile: "The girl Bingxue is smart, but she knows very little about the affairs of her family and country, you must know that the Xia Kingdom in the west and other countries and the Tatar country in the north are all countries rich in minerals and grasslands, but with very little grain, if they can be transported there, this grain is worth a hundred times, they are not short of gold and silver, but they are short of grain and grass." Chinese In order to maintain the peace of several countries in recent years, the emperor has also been opening up border trade, allowing a certain amount of trade. ”

Only then did Ruan Yunsi understand that the current emperor was also a master, and he knew that if the Tatars and the party members in the west ran out of food, they would definitely do their best to attack the border and loot under the threat of starvation. However, if the supply of grain, tea and salt is too much Chapter 12: There are many Guogong Mansions, and it will enhance the strength of those two powerful countries, so this trade is not endless, but it is only opened several times a month, so that those people will not be threatened by hunger, but there is no way to grow bigger and bigger, and because of this, it can be exchanged for the peace and prosperity of this great Wu country.

Immediately, he nodded and said, "I understand what Childe means, but I don't know what you want Brother Nan to do?" He is young and has no skills, if there is something dangerous, please forgive me for not being able to agree to Childe's request. In fact, Ruan Yunsi can roughly guess what Su Mingxi is looking for Zhong Nan for, you know, those people are ruthless, once Zhong Nan shows his traces, it will be dangerous.

Sure enough, I heard Su Mingxi smile and said: "It's okay, I want Brother Nan to pretend to be a little merchant, take a walk around the place around the capital to buy military rations, and listen to some news, and I don't need him to do anything." After inquiring about the news, just tell me, and then I will deal with it myself. ”

Ruan Yunsi pondered for a while, and sighed: "I still have to ask Nan Ge'er and Yun Niang what they mean." Otherwise, once you encounter danger, it's not a ...... to play."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhong Nan jump out and shout, "As long as my sister is not sent." Of course I'm willing to help the little grandfather, a manly man, I should do these meaningful things Chapter 12: Guogong Mansion. ”

Ruan Yunsi glared at him and snorted, "What do you mean?" There's no point in helping me do things? After speaking, Zhong Nan stuck out his tongue and grinned: "It is naturally meaningful to help my sister do things, but this is a family business after all, and what I do to help my little grandfather is to raise grievances for the people of the world." Compared with the two, it is naturally the latter that is more meaningful, sister sister, my sister-in-law has agreed, and you agreed to me. ”

Ruan Yunsi knew that Zhong Nan was such a hot-blooded person. Otherwise, he was just in the east of the village, and he couldn't have been the only one who came forward to question the official, and everyone refused to give in when they ordered to be beaten. If he wasn't allowed to go this time, the stinky boy would definitely have a pimple in his heart. But if he is really allowed to go, he is afraid that something will really happen. But thinking on the other hand, people like Su Mingxi, Zhong Nanduo helped him, and once he really joined the company in the future, it should also be beneficial.

Because he groaned for a while. Fang shook his head helplessly and said: "Okay, it's up to you, I can also see it, if you don't agree, I'm afraid that you will hate me in the future." After speaking, he turned his head to Su Mingxi and said, "There is just one, Brother Nan has no martial arts after all." If this is in danger, you can really only wait for death, there are so many guards under the little grandfather, I don't know ......"

Without waiting to finish speaking, he listened to Zhong Nan say: "Don't, don't." My sister doesn't know, I'm single, no one will be suspicious, the merchants are all famous broken mouths, it's normal to ask for some news. If you send someone to protect the back, it will be easy for people to find out. ”

Su Mingxi also smiled and said: "Brother Nan is right, I have left a few family members behind, and I am afraid that they will go back to report the news, so they will stay in Xiaowang Village for more than ten days, so people from other villages will not recognize Brother Nan, what does the girl think?" ”

Zhong Nan thought to himself, I can call the shots in this matter, little grandfather, why do you keep asking Sister Ruan what she does? Their women are afraid of wolves and tigers. Of course, I only dare to slander this in my heart, if Ruan Yunsi hears it, I am afraid that she will chase him with a broom.

Ruan Yunsi looked at Zhong Nan's eager look, and she didn't have anything to say. At that moment, Su Mingxi ordered someone to go back to the city immediately to buy a merchant's burden, and the poor family who was sent out only ate a few pieces of baked sweet potato chips and fried squid rings, and he still smacked the taste in his mouth, and the person was blown by the cold wind on the road.

Here, Ruan Yunsi saw that the eggplant was stewed, so he beckoned everyone to eat, and without asking, a group of people gobbled it up and naturally ate the food cleanly. Sweeping Shu and Ming Yan were also familiar with Ruan Yunsi at this time, so they squeezed over and said with a smile: "Girl, this meal is really delicious, even the chef of the Drunken Immortal Building in the capital may not have this skill." ”

Before the words fell, Ruan Yunsi couldn't help laughing, shook her head and said, "Don't be a sycophant, two brothers, my little craftsmanship is also compared with others?" Not to mention anything else, but I can't do it with all kinds of dishes. That is, home-cooked meals, stewed chicken, steamed fish, fried side dishes or something, just to pass the time. ”

saw Su Mingxi also coming over, and said: "They are not wrong, in fact, delicious dishes are not better than tricks, don't girls know the truth of returning to the basics?" The more home-cooked the food, the more you can highlight your craftsmanship, and I have eaten at the girl's place a few times, and your cooking skills are indeed very good. Yes, how do you make that fried squid ring that you ate at noon? I haven't even eaten it. ”

So Ruan Yunsi briefly explained the method of frying squid rings, in fact, it was very simple, here Su Mingxi asked some other things, only Ruan Yunsi was very speechless, thinking that it was a mistake for me not to sign up for a cooking training class with my mother back then, otherwise if I opened a restaurant, I would probably be able to make money, and opening a restaurant would be much easier than dyeing and weaving.

Of course, this is a joke, Ruan Yunsi really loves the dyeing and weaving industry, and now that she has the opportunity to show her strength, how can she be buried? Because he still had to sell grain in the afternoon, Su Mingxi and his family still went to the scene, and in the evening, the family who was sent out came back with a pair of merchants' burdens, and then in less than a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen of Su Mingxi's guards also rushed over.

Fortunately, Ruan Yunsi steamed two pots of steamed buns in the afternoon, and had to stew a few large pots of vegetables in the evening. She unintentionally became a post station here. However, cooking two meals can be exchanged for thousands of catties of firewood, which is naturally a very cost-effective deal.

Because a dozen more fish were stewed, there was not much stock in the ice cellar. Su Mingxi was a little puzzled this time, and secretly said how could there be seafood here? This taste is still very fresh, how can such a thing not be sold in the village, or even in the city, it is not sold much, could it be that the officials in the palace secretly poured a basket or two to sell it? That's it, this kind of thing has existed since ancient times, don't worry about it, now investigate the matter of requisitioning grain clearly, and strive to rescue Lord Qian.

Now that everyone in the village knows Su Mingxi's identity, he doesn't have to rest at Ruan Yunsi's house at night. How could a shrewd person like Landlord Cheng let go of this opportunity? So he tried his best to invite, but was rejected by Su Mingxi. Only the guards were sent to guard those tolerances, and he and Zhong Nan went to Yun Niang's house to rest, while the others stayed at other villagers' houses.

Early the next morning, Zhong Nan set off with a cargo rack on his back. Su Mingxi also wanted to rush back to the capital, and here Ruan Yunsi said to Yun Niang: "Brother Nan doesn't talk much on weekdays, I really don't know if he can be qualified for the role of a merchant, if he shows his stuffing, it will be bad." ”

Yun Niang smiled: "Don't worry, that kid doesn't dare to be naughty in front of you, otherwise his mother was still there in the past, and his mouth was good, and he would coax people again." After speaking, Zhong Xiu also helped: "Yes, my brother can say it very well, that is, here is Sister Ruan, he said to do more work and talk less, but now my sister hasn't noticed?" His words grew more and more by the day. ”

While the three of them were talking, they pushed the remaining grain to the east of the village to sell. This will be the case for the next few days, needless to say.

Let's say Zhong Nan, pretending to be a merchant, traveled all over the suburbs of Beijing within a radius of 100 miles, and heard a lot of news. Because I saw that there was not much in the burden, if I continued to wander around like this, I would inevitably reveal my stuffing. He estimated that the information he currently had was sufficient, so he went to the Guogong Mansion in the evening of that day.

didn't dare to go to the main gate, but just inquired about how to go to the back door of the Guogong Mansion, and when he came to the back street of the Guogong Mansion, it was not yet noon, Zhong Nan thought that Su Mingxi might not come back at this time, but it was better to wait on this street, so he squatted at the base of the wall.

But he saw the two family members guarding the corner gate coming over, looked him up and down a few times, and said in a deep voice: "Little brother, this is the Guogong Mansion, what are you doing here?" If there is something to do, talk about it, and if there is nothing to do, you are not allowed to rest here. ”

Zhong Nan was helpless, so he stood up, and said to Ai Ai: "I...... I'm looking for a little grandfather, there is ...... Something, you two just say that my name is Zhong Nan, and the name of the book sweeping Yan next to the little grandfather must know. ”

The two family members glanced at each other, and they both felt very strange, and secretly said that this young man's tone was not small, and he actually wanted to find the little grandfather, but they were on an errand in the Guogong Mansion, and they must not bully others. Because they looked at each other, they decided to go inside and report it.

After a while, I saw the book sweeping come out of the corner door, pulled Zhong Nan in, and said with a smile: "Our lord calculated that you had a letter in the past few days, but I didn't expect you to come in person." I thought you'd probably go home first, and then find someone to come and let me know. ”

Zhong Nanhan smiled: "How dare I put on such a big score? also informed the little grandfather to go and see me, Brother Sweeper, am I like I don't have any self-knowledge? ”

In one sentence, he couldn't help laughing, and then leaned close to Zhong Nan's ear and whispered: "I can't wait for you to put on a score, otherwise how can I always go to Miss Ruan's house to eat?" You don't know ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a large group of female relatives on the opposite side coming over, his face changed color in fright, and he hurriedly whispered: "Just wait and see you like me, don't say a word, especially don't talk about Miss Ruan, understand?" ”！！！
