"Cow?"

Jiang Dezhong froze in place, probably unable to keep up with his thoughts.

Is this a new market trend?

The grain matter has just ended, and you want to raise cattle again?

"Virtuous son-in-law, can you tell the old man, what are you going to do? Are you going to sell beef? Or will Daming's cattle be scarce? You want cattle to work in the fields, right? That means there aren't enough people to do the work? ”

Jiang Dezhong began to ask Zhang Zhou what kind of money-making business this was.

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, I won't tell you, let you guess for a lifetime, and you will never guess the result.

"Father-in-law, there are some things I can't tell you in detail, I don't want an old cow, just a calf, and for a period of time in the future, I will buy and sell cattle more frequently, it is best to have a ready-made way, I also need a place for me to raise cattle."

Cows will not die if they get smallpox, and they will be immunized once for life, and one can only be replaced if they are cured.

Buying and selling a large number of exchanges, Zhang Zhou needs the support of local people with resources and connections, and it is impossible for him to go out of the city every day as a lifter to negotiate with people about the "cattle exchange" business.

"You ......"

Jiang Dezhong was speechless.

He said: "Virtuous son-in-law, you are now a lifter, why do you still do that self-degrading thing? I have never heard of a famous family that ran to raise cattle. ”

"Then father-in-law, you won't help?"

"If you want a cow, the old man can buy it for you, but you always have to tell me what you do, right?"

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "I can't say it yet, after I raise the cow, I will make it clear to my father-in-law, and I think this is a money-making business, please keep it a secret from your father-in-law, otherwise not only will you not be able to make money, but it will also bring some disasters." ”

Jiang Dezhong looked disdainful: "Raising a cow, and there is a disaster?" As for it? ”

Zhang Zhou sighed: "When the time comes, my father-in-law will understand." Father-in-law's medicinal materials, no matter how cheap they are, sell them early, I have some silver here for your father-in-law to help you buy cattle, and ask your father-in-law to help introduce the local cattle breeders! It's okay to find some tenants......"

……

……

Zhang Zhou wants to raise cattle to grow smallpox, and then cultivate cowpox, obviously it is impossible to do it by himself all the time.

Since Jiang Dezhong has always wanted to make a fortune, then take Jiang Dezhong with him.

This thing looks promising, but in fact, it is dirty, messy, and politically risky, and Zhang Zhou purely wants to pull Jiang Dezhong into the water.

Zhang Zhou's idea was.

When you help me get the cattle back, I will get the first batch of cowpox and send it to the capital, and then tell you the reason behind it, and then I will not have a chance to let you get off the thief ship, and then you can only partner with me in this business.

In the future, I will take my imperial examination, be my official, and make a lot of money, and those hard work will be handed over to you, the old Taishan!

Don't say there's a "good thing" I don't think about you.

When Jiang Dezhong was leaving, Zhang Zhou specially gave him some tribute tea.

It was wrapped up by Jiang Pingyu and sent out.

Jiang Dezhong still asked with puzzlement: "Virtuous son-in-law, what have you experienced recently?" Why do you look different from the past? Shoot ...... It's all different. ”

In the past, Zhang Zhou was very stingy, and he hated to break a penny into two halves, but now he actually gave him the old man's tribute tea, and he didn't ask where the tribute tea came from, but only asked why Zhang Zhou changed sex.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Father-in-law, people will always change, as I now have a status, I will always experience something that I haven't experienced before, I used to be just a tribute student, and eating is a problem." If my father-in-law drinks this tea well, I will send more in the future. ”

"Hey!" Jiang Dezhong turned around and walked to the door, and did not forget to remind, "The price of grain has dropped, and there is time to make up for your grain." ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Don't worry, now that the price of grain has not dropped to the end, if your father-in-law wants to use my method to borrow grain from others to make money...... It's too early. ”

……

……

Send Jiang Dezhong away.

Jiang Pingyu asked, "What did the husband say to his father again?" Looking at him, it seems to be very embarrassing. ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "I asked him to help me buy cattle." ”

"Buying cattle?"

"Don't talk about it, how do you look at the material? There are not only cloud brocade, but also silk sent by the Chengguo Mansion, make more clothes, and after a while, we will go to the capital. Zhang Zhoudao.

Jiang Pingyu said: "Is my husband going to the capital to take the exam?" If you are in a hurry to take the exam, the concubine and her sister will wait in Nanjing. ”

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "I will be a Jinshi in the next year, and I will be an official in the capital from now on, what will you look like when you stay in Nanjing?" After we arrive in the capital, we will settle down, and rarely come back in the future, this is my sad place, and in the future, we will follow the pace of my official work, where to be an official, where to go. ”

Jiang Pingyu was stunned when she heard this.

"Why is the husband so sure that he can be a jinshi? Shouldn't we be humble at this time? ”

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, I even know the exam questions for the next year's meeting and palace exam, even if it may change due to the butterfly effect, but I will treat the princess and mix up some industry in the capital in the future.

Why do you have to go back to Nanjing, a place far away from Emperor Gao?

Zhang Zhoudao: "To be a husband is to be a high-profile person, prepare and prepare, you must go out before winter, the weather in the north is not as good as in the south, we have to adapt to it for a while after we pass!" ”

……

……

The capital, the Imperial Palace.

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Dai Yi is reporting to Zhu Youzhi on the recent situation of epidemic prevention in the palace.

“…… Of the 164 people who took the medicine, although a few of them had symptoms of acne, none of them had deteriorated their condition. Now the slaves and maids who often serve in front of several noble lords in the inner garden have all taken medicine, and there is no sign of the epidemic developing in the inner garden......"

Dai Yi is now complacent.

After planting pox for the little princess, he became a model of loyalty and patriotism in the eyes of the emperor, and Dai Yi himself was the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant supervisor, and the emperor even said that he would give Dai Yi's son and nephew a knighthood.

Zhu Youzhi nodded when he heard this: "How far has the epidemic in the Beijing Division developed now?" ”

Dai Yi was a little embarrassed: "There are signs of spreading from the south and north cities to the surrounding areas, and there are reports of epidemics outside the city one after another, and people's panic has not improved. ”

Once the smallpox epidemic is rampant, it is very difficult to clean it up.

The Chinese species of human pox, mainly from the Longqing period, with special methods, selected and cultivated four or five generations of pox seedlings to plant pox, so the mortality rate is still quite high, to the Hongzhi period even human pox is the most primitive strain.

"Nanjing, is there any news?" Zhu Youzhu asked.

Dai Yi said: "There is news that there is no prescription, and it can only be temporarily dispensed." ”

"That's going to be faster! It is necessary to rush more to respond to Tianfu before more people are infected with the epidemic. Now, I can also use this medicine, and there are also the queen, the queen mother, and the queen mother, depending on the situation...... There is also the crown prince......" Zhu Youzhu suddenly thought of his son, and had a little headache, "Today you said that you were going to give him medicine, did you send someone?" ”

Dai Yi said with a smile: "Yes, it was Zhu who commanded the servant to go in person, and the old slave originally wanted to go, but he was afraid that the prince would not listen, so he had to let Zhu go in person." ”

Zhu Youzhu shook his head and said, "Let Zhu Feng go, will he listen?" This child, the older he gets, the more disobedient he becomes, and he is spoiled! ”
