It wasn't until the glaze workshop made the first batch of richly decorated glassware according to the drawings she gave that the people of the Huang family's caravan appeared at the boundary of Xixian County.

Unlike the battle of thousands of sheep brought back by the caravan in the former county, the trip of the Huang family caravan can be described as vast.

As far as the eye can see, the herds of sheep, cattle and horses are almost endless.

The largest are the endless stream of sheep, mixed with many cows, the least number of horses, but also the most outstanding.

The people of the Huang family caravan drove these livestock, and they kept shouting loudly, and the sound of the hooves of the cattle stepping on the ground together with the hooves spread throughout the four fields, alarming the entire Xixian County.

Pei Qing naturally received the news.

She really didn't expect that the scale of the official mutual market was so large, standing on the city wall and looking out, the livestock exchanged for the Huang family's caravan was boundless.

Retrieving memories, I found that the original owner didn't know anything about it, the original owner had a difficult life in the Ruiwang Mansion, he didn't have any enterprising spirit, and he had no interest in such a thing as the mutual market, so he hadn't even seen such a majestic scene.

Like a sharp sword splitting the waves, a carriage came out through the chaotic herds of sheep and cattle and came to the gate of the former county city.

It was Huang Seventeen's carriage.

Soon, Pei Qing received a report that the regimental training soldiers guarding the city took a letter of worship and respectfully sent it to the city tower.

"The son of the Huang family begs to see the princess."

Pei Qing took another look at the livestock all over the mountains, and then Shi Shiran went down to the city tower.

She ordered the carriage of the Huang family to go to King Rui's Mansion to knock on the door, and she took a shortcut back to the back garden of King Rui's Mansion.

A huge herd of sheep, cattle and horses slapped against the rocky city walls of the county like a torrent, and then split into two groups in front of the city walls and went around the walls.

Within the city walls, a carriage slowly passed through the city gate cave and entered the Rui Wang's Mansion with a leisurely and casual attitude.

In the back garden, Pei Qing poured milk tea for the Huang family's son, and asked him with a smile: "The son has gained a lot here, it seems that he has made a lot of money, right?" ”

Huang Shi still looked as ascetic and indifferent as when he left, and when he heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he replied in ventriloquism: "Although it seems that there is a lot of gain, most of them are from the imperial court." Only a small part of Huang belongs to someone. There are also some border soldiers, which they deserve. ”

Pei Qing didn't speak after hearing this, but just looked at the lightly clothed man in front of him.

The others were all disgraced when they walked through the border trade, but this man was still clean and fresh, and even the hair that fell on the sides of his cheeks was shining like satin.

"So Huang Gongzi is for the country and the people, and the court should reward you", she smiled faintly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but she was not in a hurry to get to the point.

Huang Gongzi didn't touch the cup of milk tea, he didn't even open his mouth, his lips were still pursed like a shell with pearls, I don't know if there are pearls in the pearl shell, but these lips are really beautiful.

"The princess is falsely praised, Huang is ashamed," he replied lightly, "It's just a businessman chasing profits, I don't dare to say that I am for the country and the people, but I am worthy of the country and the country within my ability." ”

Thinking that this powerful business force that could develop among the various factions in the imperial court would never be so kind and deceitful as outside, Pei Qing smiled softly.

"Actually, this princess has been waiting for Huang Gongzi to come back from the border pass, and there is something to show you," After finishing speaking, she brought over a carton of packaged items, and gently opened the box in the silence of the other party.

"Translucent lotus pattern glass cup," she put the palm-sized glass bowl in front of Huang Gongzi's eyes, "This is a set of nine pieces of glassware, each with a different lotus pattern painted on it, there is another saying about this set, nine lotus blessings - what does Huang Gongzi think of this thing?" ”

The noble man, whose eyes were blinded by the light veil, accurately picked up the glass bowl and traced the patterns on it with his fingertips, without reacting immediately.

Pei Qing said lightly and skillfully without boasting and proudly: "This is a specialty of our county, and this set of bowls will be given to the son as a souvenir." ”

Huang Gongzi snorted lightly in ventriloquism: "Is it a specialty of Xixian County?" ”

Doesn't sound like he believes it at all?

Pei Qing explained very patiently: "This is also a special product that has just been developed recently, the output is limited, and the scarcity is expensive, so the price of each bowl is one hundred taels of gold, what does Huang Gongzi think?" ”

Huang quietly Mosuo the smooth but exquisite glass bowl, and did not speak for a long time.

"Although it is a special product here, it can't be sold under the banner of this place," he replied after thinking about half a cup of tea, "I want to announce to the outside world that this is a national treasure from the Western Regions, and it is said that it is produced in this dynasty...... The value will inevitably be greatly reduced. ”

"This nature, this nature", Pei Qing very much agreed with this proposal, "This is the same as foreign monks chanting scriptures." ”

Hearing this, Huang couldn't help but laugh.

"The princess is transparent, and the world can't reach it." He exclaimed, casually placing the glass bowl back on the table, "Then I'll need to take ten sets with me when I leave." ”

After a pause, he noticed that Pei Qing was listening attentively, and he actually explained his trade secrets: "The Prime Minister's Six Ministries and several favored princes are all going to be sent, and Huang himself has to leave a set of hospitality...... In a few moments, someone sent a thousand taels of gold to the princess. ”

Pei Qing shook his head softly: "Huang Gongzi doesn't need to be polite, ten sets of glass bowls are just a little bit of care in the Rui Wangfu, how can you let you pay for it like this?" ”

The handsome son, who was light and elegant, did not speak.

Pei Qing said half-truthfully: "Huang Gongzi is the most important person to our Rui Wangfu, and there is no way to sell these glass cups in my hands, I still have to rely on Huang Gongzi's way, so don't be polite to this princess." ”

Other trade routes can be slowly expanded by the former county's own people, but this kind of expensive item that can be called a luxury product still needs the leader of the Huang family's caravan with a wide range of friends.

In the current situation, she only knew such a wealthy merchant who could connect to the top of the dynastic pyramid.

- It is necessary to open the way for luxury sales through him, although this status quo is helpless but has to be accepted.

Pei Qing's words were very earnest, and after Huang pushed it a few times, he found that he really couldn't refuse, so he accepted it silently.

But he still instructed his entourage: "Send 500 cattle, 2,000 sheep, and 20 horses to the princess from the Huang family's harvest." ”

Following the order, Huang picked up the milk tea that was a little cold and took a sip gently.

Pei Qing snorted in surprise and joy, and inevitably said: "Huang Gongzi is too polite, too polite." ”

It was just a pile of glass made of quartz sand in exchange for river mud, but in the end it was replaced by 2,000 sheep, 500 cows and 20 horses, no wonder everyone likes to do business, and doing business is so much fun.

It's really rewarding!

"Little things," Huang waved his hand carelessly, his snow-white fingertips tightened slightly in the sleeves of his wide robe, "If the princess wants to sell this kind of national treasure-level item again, she can give it to Huang someone, except for the emperor's way, anyone else's path can be flowed." ”

This beautiful boy surnamed Huang is really too good, although Pei Qing is still wary of him, it does not prevent her from being pleased by this person.

At this point in the conversation and transaction, it can be said that the guests and hosts are happy, Huang showed a hesitant look, although he did not speak, but his face turned to Princess Rui fixedly, and his pursed lips were also loose and tight, obviously some complicated thoughts were tumbling in his heart.
