Guan Zhong is an economist and politician, people govern the country, and even the Qinglou collects taxes, and businessmen from the six countries gather in the country. Now, Zhangzhou is a bit like this, not far from the Zhuozhou wharf, very close to the grassland. In addition, the government of Zhuozhou and the local business travelers are very enthusiastic, and they will buy and sell fairly, and they will not encounter the matter of robbing the house, will not encounter heavy profits, and will not charge protection fees or make trouble. You must know that the officials are staring at it with wide eyes every day! If the offender is caught, the prefect will be rewarded.

Pearl looked at the more and more prosperous Zhangzhou, and felt a little strange in her heart, she finally confirmed at this time that her husband is not a pedantic person, and those who are intriguing in the officialdom, stammering with their bosses, and jealous of their abilities, they are really a big talent!

Zhangzhou is not a rich place in the first place, and there are often wars, so it can be regarded as a poor state, but since Ming Qian's actions have been implemented, it has really changed a lot! The peasants will not go hungry, they can go out to do work, earn money to build houses, there are brick factories in the state and county, which is also a way to stimulate the economy, plus the merchants who come and go, the business of restaurants and inns is better, of course, the business of Qinglou is also better.

Speaking of this green building, it is not the kind of place to laugh along the street, people are very stylish, you have money, you can naturally enter the door, whether you can succeed or not, you have to look at your own ability, or send the girl antique calligraphy and painting, or send gold and silver jewelry, fur clothing. So, it's all a ripple effect.

In his hometown, Qiu gave birth to a daughter and was very healthy. In addition, Xiao Wang's daughter is now working hard to send the child to Pearl! Not to mention whether the pearl is happy or not, even the Shen family will not agree, the difference between the concubines and the concubines is too important, and the daughter born to these two concubines will ruin the future of his baby daughter.

Since the last time the three teenagers lost the competition, Jian Tao had to pester Jian Xinyi to compete again, and even Shi Jing and Du Sheng, who went to the capital, were eager to try and wanted to continue the competition when they had time! However, Yu'er also learned the lesson of pearls. If you compare it again. His choice in the future can only be a military general. So how can it be?

Now, after more than two years, Tom should be almost there, and the shopkeeper Liu has already come to buy medicine once last time. Pearls sold quite a bit. He got 800,000 taels of gold and a lot of diamonds, precious stones, and precious furs and ginseng. This time there was more for Tom. Pearl said, this time I don't want silver, I want gold. Tom, when they arrived in Luzon, they could also exchange silver for gold. Of course, there have to be gems.

Pearl directly asked people to pack the medicine. Shipped to the dock warehouse. Then the next day with the convoy over, Tom's current status has improved again, the porcelain and cloth given by Pearl are better than others', and even the official kiln is not comparable, plus the medicine is exactly what Tom needs, and the transaction between the two people is also very smooth, now the gold mines in the Americas can get almost 5 tons of gold every year, that is, 1 million taels of silver, this is just a country, they have been operating there for many years, the gold is there, and now the pearl provides life-saving medicine, and also gives cloth, porcelain and tea, Of course, he was willing to do business with Pearl, and Tom told Pearl that he had brought a lot of gold this time, and that he must be well prepared for Pearl.

The silk brocades in the cloth shop that Pearl bought last time were of very good quality, and this time, together with the silk provided by his own factory, he bought more than 35,000 pieces of silk from the market. Needless to say, all the tea leaves in the Pearl Tea Garden have been left, and a lot of good quality tea has been purchased from others. Porcelain is to give them all the pearls that are not eye-catching. The annual output of the three large kiln factories in Jingdezhen is not much, but the quality is definitely the best, and the pearl also provided them with a nourishing essence pill this time, and the quantity is also quite a lot.

Tom brought 24,800,000 taels of gold to the pearl this time, two boatloads of diamonds and precious stones, ivory and spices. They are all superb, and Tom also bluntly said to the pearl that these golds are not from one country, and his medicines are also to be distributed to European countries. Pearl didn't say anything, but Tom still brought 10 million taels of silver, and what he wanted most was the silk, porcelain and cosmetics here, Pearl felt that this was no problem at all, and urgently mobilized all the cosmetics and skin care soaps. He also made a lot of embroidered and printed chiffon shirts from his factory, and there were four sets of crown jewelry, all of which were diamonds and pearls. Pearl gave the other party ten necklaces this time, which is not bad. As for the porcelain, it was obtained from Qu Wang, and he was given 200,000 taels of silver at that time, that is.

Three years, the three eldest sons have been away from her for so long, Pearl feels that Mingqian's three-year term is coming soon, so she wants the family to reunite, who knows, Mingqian is re-elected. Their triplets are all three years old, but they haven't seen their three brothers yet! The second girl is also facing such a problem, the third child is four years old, it's time to enlighten, but he also wants the other two sons! In this case, the two sisters thought together. Send a letter to Sanniu and ask her to persuade Qi Rong to come to their Zhuozhou.

The letter is gone, but there has been no reply for a long time, and the key is that now the two sons of the Sanniu family are also going to school. In the end, there was no way, Pearl and Erniu still had to send their children to the capital to study. However, Pearl felt that she should meet her son and his son's teachers.

Ming Qian went to Beijing to report on his work this time, but he has not yet made a move, and everyone understands that this is to be re-elected. When Ming Qian entered the palace, Pearl arrived at Qi's house first, and saw the three girls with a big belly, nervously supporting her.

"Why did you get out?"

"I haven't seen my sister for a long time, so I thought I'd come out and have a look first." Sanniu now seems to have recovered the Sanniu who has not been reformed in the past, not that she is not good, but more gentle. This year, Qi Liang is also going to prepare for the Jinshi exam, but he doesn't know how. Pearl looked at Sanniu and said with a smile, "I see that you have a good face, how is it?" ”

Sanniu leaned into Pearl's ear and said, "Their family doesn't have many heirs, I gave birth to two sons in my first child, and I want to succeed in my hometown!" Of course my mother-in-law refused, even my father-in-law couldn't bear it! These two boys are the most pleasing people, seeing that this is the case, everyone is staring at my belly, hoping to have another one, maybe I can get one of my in-laws to agree to the succession. ”

The Qi family is known as the four major families in the south and the other three, all of which are thousand-year-old families, and they value their heirs the most, and they can only take concubines if they are forty and childless, and they are really like jewels for children! Pearl smiled and said to the three girls,

"It's still a son this time, it depends on whether your in-laws can stabilize it. By the way, where is your Qi Liang? What do you mean? ”

Sanniu said with a smile, "As soon as he heard that he was going to succeed, he wanted to hide with the child, but he laughed to death." This time, I replaced the people in the yard with stout mothers-in-law, for fear that someone from my family would rob them! ”

Pearl heard this, it was relieved, went to see Qi, Qi is very kind, in recent years, the relationship between the two families is extraordinary, often come and go, that is, in winter, the pearl of the Zhuangzi will send vegetables and fruits to the Qi family, I heard that their daughters like glass mirrors, pearls send a piece, are rosewood frames, of course, there are Buddhist scriptures and the like, and some stories in the Buddhist scriptures, after all, not everyone can read all the Buddhist scriptures, with these stories, but more able to comprehend Buddhism. And these stories were all sorted out by pearls, and they were printed and sent to Anfu Temple, and the old monk was very happy, saying that this was the merit of pearls. Pearl is a little embarrassed, the last time a large number of gold silk Nanmu Buddha statues and Buddha beads after the light, and a new Buddha statue and Buddha beads, and invited someone again, this time it is a return of favor!

Pearl went to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion again, but this time I couldn't see Zhen'er, because Hou Daoliang went on the expedition, Zhen'er accompanied him, and the three girls and the fourth girl in the family were going to get married, and they were going to come back, but unfortunately, Zhen'er found out that she was pregnant and couldn't come back. Just let people send makeup back, of course, Hou Ying of their family is the daughter of the third master Hou Daoliang, and she is going to get married, so she naturally wants to bring a dowry, and she gave 10,000 taels of silver in the box, but Pearl knows about it, the third master Hou Daoliang originally planned to give 5,000, but the third girl added 5,000, plus her mother's dowry, which is not bad.

The third girl, Hou Ying, married a new science and technology scholar, named Liu Zhe, the family conditions are not bad, her grandfather has been a prefect, and the fourth girl Hou Yin is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, married to Wu Yu, the second son of the Duke of Xiuguo, Wu Yu is still a martial artist of the dynasty, when the pearl came, they each brought four pieces of cloth produced in their own factories, and gave them a set of red gold inlaid jewelry. These things seem to be nothing in the eyes of pearls, but people outside don't think so, the things produced in the pearl factory are almost invisible in the market, and the goods are either sold to the South Seas or foreigners, or sent to the homes of the powerful, and others naturally can't get them. Besides, this jewelry, pearls are especially liked, and now there is no shortage of money, I think it looks good and stays, they are all carved treasures, it is rare to be able to reveal a set, and the price is naturally expensive.

After seeing the old lady, saying a few words, and seeing the girls, the old lady let them go back, and then pulled the pearl and said,

"I got a message from the third child, although he didn't say it explicitly, but that's what it means, just listen to it, don't say too much."

Pearl smiled and said, "That's what the old lady said, I won't do anything." ”

"The third said that someone is staring at you!"

Pearl's heart twitched for a moment, and she said with some panic, "But because I make too much money?" ”

The old lady shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, the third is too." You have earned money, and you have spent a lot of money to buy rare treasures, everyone knows this, you are afraid, you are the person you like! ”

Pearl's face is white, on top? The one who can make the third master say the top, it is not the king of the county, the prince, or the emperor! (To be continued......)
