I don't know if it's because of Chunying's words. Lu Yougui suddenly fell silent, locked himself in the house for a whole day, and did not appear in front of everyone until noon the next day. After eating, he said to Li Jing: "Master Da, if there is nothing to do in the next few days, the little one wants to take a walk in the towns near Suzhou, and also go to Songjiang, Huzhou and other places to see if there are any good materials and collect some back." ”

Although Li Jing already has a small official position, this kind of buying and selling goods was often done when he was young, and now he is separated from his family, and for the sake of his family, he also plans to repeat his old tricks, so he said: "I want to go too, so you can go with me, so that you can take care of each other." ”

Lu Yougui had a smile on his face, but he didn't nod: "Why should the eldest young master be tired?" If you have something to do, just send someone to do it, you are now an official master, so that the people in Beijing will know. Not good for reputation. ”

Li Jing groaned for a while, and felt that it made sense, so he put this matter aside for the time being, turned his head to look at Lu Yougui again, and said with a smile: "It's not easy for you, and now you are not young, and you have to run around outside." I've heard you have leg wind, but don't get tired. Even if you can tolerate this disease now, you must be careful, so as not to suffer in a few years. ”

Lu Yougui secretly wiped his sweat and mixed it with a dry smile. When she was packing her luggage, she told her daughter this, Chunying also pinched a cold sweat, and said ashamedly: "It's because I didn't think about it enough, now our family is out, but there will always be a day when people will expose the lies, and it won't work if you don't go back to Dongfu or the back street, and if you always go back, I'm afraid that people will see it." ”

Lu Yougui sighed: "This method did work at that time, but now it's just a little pretend." Could it be that if they find out that you have lied, they can still beat us up? And put it aside, it's important to get our business done. He also instructed Chunying to say a few words, asking her to stay at the residence as much as possible and not to run around, so she took Mo Han out of the door.

Chunying was a little depressed, without Mohan, she couldn't trust the other male servants. There is only one sister-in-law, and it is not good to go out all the time, so she has to be patient, wait for her father to come back, and think about her plan again by the way.

In my memory, Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, and the surrounding areas of Suzhou and Hangzhou, as well as the Songjiang area, are very prosperous and will become more and more developed. The history of this time and space has changed a lot, although she is not sure which stage of the Ming Dynasty it is in now, but from the information collected over the years, it is estimated that it is at least the late Ming Dynasty in the history books, and it is even possible to enter the early Qing Dynasty. The Qing emperor who should have sat on the throne of the Forbidden City is still nested in the small Qing kingdom in the north. The national strength of the Qing State is not strong, several times to provoke border turmoil, unsuccessful, every year in food, salt, sugar, cloth, tea and other aspects to rely on the Ming Dynasty, think for a while and a half has not the ability to invade the Central Plains, Jiangnan should be able to maintain peace for a long time.

In this case, she now buys fixed assets in a more desirable area around Suzhou. There will definitely be a good room for appreciation. This kind of asset can be a house, a shop, or a field. According to the price she inquired, the fields here are generally only four or five taels of silver per acre, which is much cheaper than the capital, and the good paddy fields are six to eight taels, if it is a remote village, the price is only afraid to be lower. Moreover, the grain here is harvested twice a year, melons, fruits and vegetables are grown, the climate is also suitable, and cotton is planted, and there is no need to worry about the way out. In addition, there is a dense network of rivers and many lakes, so it is very convenient to engage in aquaculture. Thinking of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who lived near the entrance of Hu Fei Grange, combined with the gossip I heard in that area, it turned out that Jiangnan women, whether rich or poor, were basically able to weave, and the amount of weaving per person a day was enough to support themselves. In this way, it would not be difficult for her to organize a weaving workshop, or to buy cloth from ordinary people and sell it elsewhere. I heard that the fleet of ships going to the South Seas has to buy a large number of silk fabrics every year, and there is a relationship between the Hou Mansion, maybe this is another road. Thinking about it this way, Jiangnan is full of business opportunities!

Chunying was even more excited. Busy writing down the things that came to mind one by one, considering them one by one, filling in the loopholes, estimating the cost, and then thinking of ways to deal with various emergencies, he calmed down a little, breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully put away the paper.

At this time, in the house where they temporarily lived, the people of the Li family had already begun to pack their luggage, just waiting for the eldest young master Li Jing to do good deeds, they could take a boat back to Beijing, and some people ran out to see the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, buy gifts for their families, or buy some goods to return to Beijing to drag their hands like Lu Yougui did, so as to earn a few taels of pocket money.

On the other hand, Li Xu took care of the housework and began to pack his bags. He planned to take a hitchhiker back to Beijing so that he could face his mother and brother-in-law, who had always been at odds with each other, but he was always a little uneasy in his heart. Although he didn't want to spend money, he was soft-spoken in the clan, how could he refuse? After all, you still have to give a sum of money to go up. On the bright side, there is a brother who is an official, and their family also has a dependence.

Li Xu's wife saw that his face was worried, and she knew what he was worried about, so she sighed. Chunying saw it and asked what was going on, and after hearing about it, she suddenly thought; If you really want to settle down in Jiangnan, you still have to have a few familiar people to help, and Hu Fei has not come back yet. Li Xu became the best candidate.

So she smiled and said to Li Xu's wife: "Young Grandma Xu, since Young Master Xu has returned to Beijing, he should also go to the elders everywhere to ask for a good goodbye." The Dongfu family has lived in Jiangnan for a few years, and the second old lady is just reading the pickles and balsamic vinegar here, but the young masters and young ladies have long been accustomed to eating here, and even if they return to Beijing, they still use the things of Jiangnan. If Young Master Xu can tell them about the news of Jiangnan today, and bring a few more Jiangnan scenery, they will definitely be very happy. ”

Li Xu's wife was a little surprised, thought about it, and said with a smile: "It's easy, you can tell them." ”

"I'm only talking about the scenery of the past few days, but I don't know anything about the past few years. Naturally, the young master and the young grandmother have lived in Suzhou for several years. ”

Li Xu's wife thought about it, so she responded with a smile, and when she went home and told her husband, Li Xu said: "She is reminding us!" Why can my mother and eldest brother crush me in the clan? Isn't it because they are familiar with the Hou Mansion, and the eldest brother has a concubine who is the old lady of the Hou Mansion in the past? Now that Dongfu is up, his family has been away for many years, and he is not familiar with us, nor is he familiar with his eldest brother, so he just took this opportunity to get close to them. With Dongfu as Kao Mountain, even if my mother forced me to take silver, I didn't dare to go too far. ”

Li Xu's wife hurriedly said: "In this case, I will simply go back with you!" In Dongfu, whether it is your uncle and grandmother or your aunt, it is not easy for you to talk to them directly, but we women do not have this taboo. ”

The couple packed up and didn't forget to give Chunying a thank you gift. Chunying was a little depressed: Why do the two of them have to leave? It's better to keep one...... What should Hu Fei's Zhuangzi do now?!

After seven or eight days, Li Jing had already purchased enough goods, put them on the ship, and prepared all his luggage.

But. Lu Yougui hasn't come back yet.

Chunying is a little anxious, no matter how good Jiangnan is, it is also a strange place, maybe there are some young people eyeing her father, what if there is a good one?

Fortunately, Lu Yougui rushed back on the tenth day, and brought more than 100 horses of various colors of silk, plus 200 horses of Songjiang cloth, others such as Jiaxing's plain silk, flower silk, Ayadi flower silk, Qingguang Wangdian silk, Pu silk, Huzhou's straight yarn, flower yarn, woven yarn, Baotou yarn, as well as Suzhou's local Hualuo, Suluo, Daoluo, Hexiluo, Qiuluo, etc., and even four makeup satin, all kinds of things, loaded with five or six cars.

Chunying's eyes straightened, and she quietly pulled her father: "Why are there so many?" Could it be that you have spent all your money? "But even if you spend it all, you may not be able to buy so many materials, right?

Lu Yougui didn't say anything, just said, "It just happened to happen." ”

It wasn't until he returned to his room that he said to Chunying: "I walked around, and sure enough, I saw a few dental shops specializing in this silk fabric business, which is similar to what I did in Beijing, but they have a larger capital and ask for more materials." I had sold a batch of fine standard cloth in Songjiang, and not long after the boat left Songjiang, I had dinner in a small town at noon, and after eating, someone came to me to talk about buying cloth. I saw that his price was not low, so I sold it all to him without saying a word, and immediately returned to Songjiang and sold another batch. Later, I bought silk and satin, and did the same, and in the past few days, I have earned dozens of taels of silver. Because it was in the south of the Yangtze River, the price was not as high as in Beijing, so I simply bought more, shipped it back to Beijing, and sold it to the major silk shops. This time I came back to Jiangnan, and I really came to the right place! ”

Chunying was happy to hear this, and hurriedly said: "According to this, Jiangnan is really easier to make a living than Jingli!" ”

Lu Yougui nodded, and there was a little smug between his eyebrows, but he was a little unwilling: "It's a pity...... Do you remember Wu Di? ”

Chunying nodded: "The cloth merchants in Jiangnan are black, aren't they?" His home seems to be in the Songjiang area. ”

"That's right. I met him occasionally, only to learn that his father had been ill for a few years and couldn't stay up, so he had gone at the end of last month, and before he died, he ordered him to return to Xuancheng to inherit the ancestral business. Therefore, he is looking for someone to take over his shop and goods these days. He sold it urgently, and the price was also low, a total of twenty or thirty thousand pieces of cloth, all of which were Feihua, Youdun and so on, and it was only eight cents of silver! ”

Chunying was taken aback, calculated in her heart, and exclaimed, "What are you waiting for?!" Why don't you buy it soon?! Even if it's a few hundred! If it were still at this price, we would have made a net profit of seven or eight cents of silver for each horse! Where to find such a good deal?! It's almost half price! ”

Lu Yougui sighed helplessly: "Originally, even if the quantity is less and the price is higher, it is very cost-effective, but these cloths are now stored in warehouses elsewhere, and they have to wait for them to be transported, and it will take three or four days to do the least." I thought that I might be in a hurry to leave here, and I didn't have much money, so I gave up. ”

Chunying bit her lip: "How much money is enough for Dad's hand?" ”

"It's only a few hundred horses, and because it's cloth, it's not worth more than silk."

"How is his cloth in good condition? I remember that he used to ship goods to Beijing to sell, and some of the cloth had already been soaked in water, and he sold it correctly. ”

"It's not going to be, I've seen some, it's all good, even if it's a little broken, the price is not bad, when you really want to buy it, you naturally have to check it one by one." Lu Yougui raised his eyes to look at his daughter, "What's wrong?" ”

"Daddy." Chunying approached her father, "It's better to ...... Let's just buy it?! If it is a good cloth, it can be sold in Suzhou. We don't need to buy it all at once, buy it in batches, pick the good ones, and come in batches. If that Wu Di cheats, we won't lose much. ”

Lu Yougui frowned: "I'm afraid he won't be able to wait, besides, the eldest young master has already spoken, and he has to leave tomorrow." ”

Chunying took a deep breath and smiled at her father: "I'll stay." ”

Lu Yougui was stunned, and Chunying stepped forward: "I'll stay, I've done all these businesses, I'm familiar with the fabrics, I've also seen Wu Di, my father left Mohan to be my helper, and I have a sister-in-law to take care of me, I won't have a problem here." As soon as the cloth is brought in, I will immediately contact the buyer, even if it is a little less, and I will sell it as soon as possible. When my father returned to Beijing, he had lost all his goods, and when he came back, I had already made a lot of money here. ”

"You're a girl's ......"

"I'm a girl, but I can do it." Chunying looked at her father, "These can't bother me." You know it. ”

Lu Yougui was silent. He knows it, just ......

"Besides...... Chunying gritted her teeth, "I'm here, I can also help take care of Xiao Feige's Zhuangzi, it's close to the port, and it's easy to inquire about his news." Dad, if I came so far just to drive Xiao Feige's brother away, it would be too cost-effective. Since you know that the development prospects of dental care are good, you must also mean this, right? Simply...... Let's take the first step! ”！ ~！
