092 Ruyang City (Subscription requested)
The dock is full of people.
Zhu Han and the others sent Gu Qing and the others to the dock, and suddenly they were reluctant.
However, with so many people, he was embarrassed to put the parting emotion on his face, and he repeatedly advised: "The head of the family, you must pay attention to safety when you go out, find an inn with a better environment to live in, and don't be reluctant to spend money...... Brother Yang, you are in a hurry, don't make trouble, it doesn't matter if you are beaten, you can't drag down the head of the family......"
Gu Qing couldn't help laughing: "Xiaohan, when did you talk so much, we are on the boat, you all hurry back, the dessert shop still needs you!" ”
Zhu Han nodded, but they didn't leave, and after standing in place and watching the three of them get on the boat, they turned around and left.
Gu Qing and the three of them brought a cart of goods, but because they carried overload, they paid an extra 200 yuan before they were allowed to go up.
The ferry ticket is 500 yuan a piece, which is a very high price, Gu Qing thought that after getting on the boat, there would be a special rest area, even if there was no separate room, there should be a seat.
Unfortunately, she miscalculated.
In front of him is a huge cabin, all passengers can find a place to sit on the ground, early can lean against the wall, late can only sit in the middle, not even a thing to lean.
The cabin is very enclosed, and the men and women of all ages sit here, and the smell can be imagined.
For the first time, Gu Qing knew that he would be seasick.
She turned and rushed to the deck, looked down and saw the river rolling, the dizziness was even stronger, and her stomach was tumbling, and she opened her mouth and vomited......
It took a long time to ease up, and she quickly bought a seasickness medicine from the mall and swallowed it.
Behind her, Yang Pei and Gu Yu hurriedly followed with a cart.
There was so much cargo on the cart that it was very eye-catching, and there were many people on the deck who cast curious glances.
Gu Qing pressed his temples and said, "Brother Yang, you go and ask if there is a separate room, how much money you want." ”
They have to be on board for a day and a night, people need to rest, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence, in case someone is targeted and the goods are taken, it will be more than worth the loss.
Yang Pei nodded and went to do it immediately, but before the others returned, a horn sounded, and the boat slowly left the dock.
As soon as the dock was opened, the river became wider and wider, and could accommodate at least three or four of these large boats at the same time.
On both sides of the river are rolling green hills, green mountains and green waters, and the sun is shining, this river scenery makes Gu Qing breathtaking, and the dizziness gradually disappears.
After a while, Yang Pei hurriedly walked over: "The price of a separate room on this ship is three taels of silver, I can say it, they would rather be empty than agree to reduce the price for people to live in......"
Gu Qing can understand, just like modern capitalists, who would rather pour milk into the drain than sell it to the poor at a reduced price.
She took out three taels of silver from her sleeve: "Let's open one, and the three of us will have one." ”
Yang Pei turned around and went to do it.
The ship has three floors, the bottom compartment stores the goods, the first floor is the cabin, where most of the passengers are crammed for a day and a night, the second floor is a separate room, and a place to eat, and the third floor should belong to the luxury room.
Three taels of silver can only live on the second floor.
The room was not big or small, a bed, a table, four chairs, and tea on the table.
Yang Pei quickly poured a glass of water for Gu Qing: "Family master, you lie on the bed and rest first, and I'll go out to inquire about the situation in Ruyang." ”
Half of the people on this ship went to Ruyang to do business, the other half went to find work, and some were sporadic to visit relatives and friends.
A casual chat with these people will reveal a lot of useful information.
Gu Yu followed behind Yang Pei and silently learned a lot of skills that were close to others......
Yang Pei told Cheng Guqing the news he inquired about: "They say that the cheapest thing in Nanruyang is porcelain, many villages will open kilns, and the whole village works in the kilns, men do coolies, women farm, and very few people spin and weave, so the price of cloth is very high." The Cao family in Dahe County also made a fortune by pouring cloth business, and I heard that most of the cloth on the Cao family cloth village was transported to Nanyang to sell. ”
Gu Qing nodded: "You can also consider considering the cloth business!" ”
Yang Pei thought about it seriously.
He just asked those people, the price of coarse cloth in Ruyang is about eight or nine yuan, the price of linen cloth is twelve yuan, and the price of fine linen cloth can reach more than 20 yuan, that is, the more complex the process, the higher the price profit in Ruyang.
The ship only stopped in Nanyang for three days, and the cloth business was not in a hurry, so he still opened up the soap business first, and he couldn't let the head of the family do everything, so his husband would be too useless.
Along the way, Yang Pei was thinking about ways to sell soap.
Gu Yu put the chairs together, lay down and fell asleep.
Gu Qing was lying on the bed, swaying, waking up from time to time, seasickness and vomiting for a while, and feeling energetic for a while, in short, very uncomfortable......
In the past, she also thought that when she made a lot of money, she would go out on a trip, and it was very interesting that the ancient mountains and rivers were not polluted...... But now, she has given up, whether it is by carriage or boat, she can't do it, going out to travel is sin, why bother to find guilt for herself.
She swears that this is her first time away from home, and it must be the last!
When the sun came out the next day, the ship had finally reached its destination, standing on the deck with a view of the sun.
This wharf is not known how many times larger than the wharf in Dahe County, and it is bustling with people coming and going, and it is a prosperous city.
Gu Qing's spirit returned, and he took the two of them off the boat.
As soon as I went, two coolies came up to me: "This little lady, do you need help to transport the goods, ten cents to help deliver them to the residence......"
Gu Qing waved his hand: "Thank you, no need." ”
Yang Pei and Gu Yu pushed the cart together, the road surface here is very flat, and the cart is not so tiring to push.
There is still a way to go after getting off the dock, and it took a while to get to the gate of Ruyang City, and after entering here, it is the real Ruyang City.
Before they push the goods into the city, they need to pay taxes, and the business tax of the Liang merchants is one out of ten, which is higher than the field tax, and there are special personnel to determine the value of one-tenth of the goods is geometric, and hand it over according to this value.
Because in Ruyang City, the value of goods is also compared with the price of Ruyang, and the carts are all coarse linen, and if you calculate it out of ten, it is more than 30 taels of silver.
Although Gu Qing was distressed about the money, he also knew that this was money that had to be handed over, otherwise he would not be able to enter the city gate.
A group of three people pushed cloth in, and the city became more lively, with vendors selling everything on both sides of the street, and the people walking on the road were not limited to ordinary people, and some women and girls seemed to be the style of big families.
Yang Pei had already inquired about the situation of the inn in Ruyang, they couldn't afford the most expensive inn, it was too cheap and unsafe, this Grand Hyatt inn was praised by almost everyone, so he chose this one.
But the inn had such a good reputation that the outsiders came straight as soon as they got off the boat, and by the time the three of them arrived, all the rooms were gone.
Gu Qing looked up at the crowd surging on the street, just a short time, there were more than three boats parked at Ruyang Wharf, so many people, is the inn in the city enough?
It's hard to do if you don't have a place to live.
She immediately decided: "Go to a more expensive inn, and you can afford to live for three days." ”
There is an old saying in the countryside, the poor are rich, and when you go out, it's okay to spend more money, and you can earn it back later.
