108. Economic issues
"Next year," Jia Min sighed: "It takes so long to make a round trip, no wonder foreign goods are sold so expensive, even if there is no loss on the way, it takes so much time alone, it is not easy to know, and the cost is too high, not to mention the unpredictable along the way, if there is no high return, it is estimated that no one wants to do this kind of thing." ”
Yunqing said: "Risk and reward are often proportional, the more dangerous the trade, the higher the profit, we seem to sail to the sea is full of dangers, but there are always people who are willing to take risks for the sake of profit, which is also unstoppable." ”
Jia Min also understood this truth, and no longer dwelled on this question, but said with a smile: "Our master is about to return to Beijing, and I want to thank you for it, thanks to the amulet and antidote pill you sent, he can safely retreat from that whirlpool, and invite you to dinner when he turns back......"
She didn't know how many lives she owed Yun Qing, but she couldn't say words of gratitude and repayment, she just kept this gratitude in her heart, and their family had already reached a consensus that as long as Yun Qing was in need, they were willing to do anything for her.
Yun Qing didn't know Jia Min's mental activities, and said with a smile: "Then I'll just wait." He also asked Lin Ruhai what he did to encounter danger, otherwise he would not have used the life-saving materials she sent.
"I don't know what I did, I only know that it was an errand assigned by the emperor, it may have moved the interests of others, the master has experienced several dangers in the past few months, he has been assassinated, he has also encountered poisoning, and there are people who dare to commit murder with knives in broad daylight. He was afraid that we would not dare to say anything, and now that the dust has settled, he mentioned a few words in the letter, even if he did not elaborate, just a few words, I was afraid after reading it, you said that if he really has three long and two short, I ......"
Jia Min was talking and talking, his voice was a little choked, and he realized that he was out of shape, so he hurriedly pressed the corner of his eye with a handkerchief, and picked up the teacup to drink tea. Yun Qing didn't care either, and said softly: "Isn't this okay, why scare yourself?" You just like to think a lot, think too much and don't be afraid of losing your hair? ”
Jia Min laughed "poof", then frowned, reached out and touched his hair, and said, "Don't say it, my hair is falling out now, do you have any pills that can cure this problem?" The words are full of genuine distress and expectation.
Yun Qing has no way, or rather, she has never studied this aspect, but Jia Min's problem is not that she can't solve it, there is an elixir called Zhuyan Dan, which can maintain her appearance after eating, not that it will not change at all, but the aging process has become very slow, and she herself has basically frozen her appearance after building the foundation, so she doesn't have this thing in her hand, but if Jia Min needs it, she can also go to refine a furnace now.
Thinking so, Yun Qing asked Jia Min if he wanted to, under the dual effect of human nature's love of beauty and human fear of aging, Jia Min didn't think too long, so he said to Yun Qing: "Give me two, one for me and my master." ”
The tone was relaxed, like asking Yunqing for two jelly beans.
Yun Qing said helplessly: "I don't have any inventory in my hand, I'll send it to you when I'm done." ”
Jia Min was satisfied. The two talked about the biggest excitement of the year: concubines and concubines, Jia Min sighed again: "I didn't want to build a provincial family courtyard from the beginning, but everyone else is repairing, and the old lady is so happy, I know that I can't stop it, the family has not been so glorious for many years, everyone wants to fight for this face for the mother, and the excitement is very full, if I go to pour cold water at this time, it will not only be uninteresting, but annoying, and I think I can't see them well, even if I have more concerns, At this time, they can't even mention it, let them be happy. ”
Yun Qing was silent, she didn't have anything to say, there was a lady in the family, you don't let the family celebrate, it's really inappropriate, and the emperor has ordered, if the concubines' maidens don't take the initiative to build another courtyard, please ask the ladies to save their relatives, wouldn't they have an opinion on the emperor's will? Even if it's to cheer for the emperor, everyone has to grit their teeth!
From this point of view, there doesn't seem to be any problem with the Jia family's current behavior, even if they are more public, they are just losing their favorability, and they haven't violated any royal law, and it is really annoying to really stop others.
It's just that Yunqing didn't know that Jia Min had an agreement with Jia Mu and others that the money to be returned to the treasury could not be moved, but in order to build the provincial family's courtyard, they broke the agreement, and more than half of the money was spent, basically emptying the Jia family's family foundation, and their daily expenses were supported by Jia Lian's newly opened financial road, and there was no problem, but if there were any large expenditures, they would be numb, and the cash in the treasury was almost exhausted, and if they wanted to use the money, they might really have to rely on pawns.
Jia Min is favored again, and she is also a girl who has been married, and she is not clear about her mother's family background, and she only thinks that her mother's family is too public, and she spends too much money to build a garden, so she has a little whisper, and she has not realized the seriousness of the matter.
However, the family with a swollen face and a fat man, in Beijing is not the only one of the Jia family, and the Zhou Gui family is also quite uncounted, it is said that his family's garden is bigger and more luxurious, completely overpowering several others, obviously his family is not a wealthy family, and there is no windfall, the source of money is decent, according to their family background, it should not be able to take out so much money, but looking at the relaxed and comfortable appearance of people, it seems that it does not hurt at all, let alone hurt the muscles and bones, this performance naturally attracted the attention of people with a heart.
Chatting and chatting, Jia Min suddenly asked Yun Qing if there was anything new, Yun Qing told her treasure hunting experience, focusing on describing those thrilling links, she still has a talent for storytelling, Jia Min was shocked when she heard it, after listening, she stroked her heart and said: "It turns out that treasure hunting is so dangerous, don't go in the future, we don't lack this money." ”
This bit of money? That's underestimating the scale of these treasure spots.
As for these treasures that Yunqing found for Emperor Longxing, she took one-tenth of it as a reward, and her assets directly quadrupled, and now she is also the one who can easily take out one hundred thousand yuan to repair the garden! Digging treasure has always been a shortcut to get rich, otherwise how could there be so many gold captains from ancient times to the present? Isn't it just doing this to make money quickly!
Of course, Yunqing went to hunt for treasures, to find those treasures that were specially hidden, and she was not interested in what people were buried in the tomb, she just sighed.
However, Jia Min would say this, and he was also concerned about her, of course Yun Qing would not go out of his way to defend and refute, nodded and said, "I know, there will be no special circumstances in the future, and I will not go again." ”
