"Takekichi?" Li Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had missed something.

Seeing that Li Xiuzhu was puzzled, Lang Yue opened her mouth to explain: "After the sisters discussed, they made a bathing pool, and the west wing of the backyard was completely emptied, and there was a fireplace around the pool, and the fire could be burned from the outside to maintain the temperature. ”

Hey guys, this is taking advantage of my absence to develop a new way to play.

At this time, Fu Yuehua suddenly spoke: "Husband, remember to ask for peace if you have time, my father and mother miss you." ”

Li Xiuzhu was stunned, and he didn't know what to do.

"Miss me? Think I'm almost dead, right?"

But Fu Yuehua said so, what can he say?

"Well, I'll go when I have time."

Fu Yuehua smiled when she heard this, playing word games with me?

"Then let's go before leaving."

"If it weren't for my mother's illness, I wouldn't have ......."

Li Xiuzhu understood, it turned out that it was because of this.

"Well, you can ...... too"

What else could he say?

After dinner, Li Xiuzhu experienced how big Li Liuli's handful was.

In short, the whole backyard of the palace was quiet the next day, and as for the troublesome Fu Baozhu and Fu Yanyu, they were taken home by Yunshuang last night.

In the afternoon, Li Xiuzhu went out of the courtyard and went to see her grandfather with Li Biyao.

The old man looked kind, but it just looked like Li Xiuzhu felt that the old man seemed to want to stab him.

Because the knife can't hide a person's eyes, even if he looks happy when he smiles.

When Li Biyao went to the flower room, the old man's face suddenly changed.

While Li Xiuzhu secretly sighed in his heart, he asked preemptively: "The old man doesn't like me?" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then snorted coldly.

"Hmph, do you think I should like you?"

"I heard that you have dozens of concubines in your family, and there is a woman from the manor outside?"

Well, it should be regarded as two manors now, there are too many Wang families, so I simply bought one on the nearby Zhuangzi.

With the addition of the garden under development, he should have three.

"So what? I don't seem to be missing that bite of Baguio. ”

"The old man doesn't want to think about it, I have taken care of so many women, if it is good for Baguio, or only three or five wives and concubines, will it be a good thing or a disaster for them?"

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little numb, and he actually felt that it made a little sense.

"This ......"

It shouldn't be.

"That ......"

What do you want to say? I don't have anything to say, seeing that the old man can't answer, Li Xiuzhu is not embarrassed by the old man, he directly changed the conversation and said, "Old man, let's talk about food." ”

"It's not enough to have just a hundred truckloads of grain in the capital, and we have to trouble our people to send it twice, but don't go by land in the future."

"There are too many people needed to transport by land, and now that the canal from Suzhou and Hangzhou to Shangjing has been opened, I suggest that it be transported by fleet."

"If the old man has the heart, he can form an alliance with the Su Hangzhou Zheng family, so that the cost of the fleet can be evenly shared."

"Of course, we are a family, and the old man can also eat alone and build a large fleet to transport it by himself."

"In addition to grain, there is a lot that can be transported in this north-south trade."

"What does the master think about this, we can discuss."

Hearing Li Xiuzhu say this, the old man was silent for a while, and then spoke: "I originally promised you to buy grain from Siam just to help you, your grandson-in-law and the people of the world. ”

"But since it's profitable, we won't send any money to us."

"Regarding the affairs of the fleet, I want to hear your opinion, not to mention your other things besides women, you still admire the old fellow for other things."

"And we're all our own family, my old guy believes in you."

Li Xiuzhu opened his mouth when he heard this: "My suggestion is to partner with the Zheng family, first of all, the Zheng family is the head snake of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there will be no big accidents from Lingnan to Suzhou and Hangzhou with their cooperation." ”

"Then there is the fleet at most to Suzhou and Hangzhou, if you want to get rid of them, first of all, our family has to regain a foothold in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and then build a fleet, this time and energy are multiplied."

"So it's better to cooperate directly, you are responsible for the escort from Siam to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the Zheng family is responsible for the escort from Suzhou and Hangzhou to Shangjing."

"The risk is shared, and the distance is also shared, as for the income, I think the old man will agree to give up two percent of the benefits to the Zheng family."

"Two percent profit? So little? ”

You must know that the grain in Siam is only less than half of the price of Da Zhou, so he made a lot of money by transporting it to Shangjing with a profit of 30% lower than the market price, but he didn't expect to let out only 20% of the profit to go from Yangzhou to Shangjing.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and explained: "Water transportation not only saves people, but also saves the carriages and horses that transport goods, so the Zheng family should be able to make two percent of the profit, and this price will definitely not exceed two percent of your profit." ”

Hearing Li Xiuzhu's words, the old man was happy.

"Good boy, my grandfather recognizes you as a grandson-in-law."

"But how long can this be done?"

Li Xiuzhu thought about it when he heard this, and said, "It should be able to do it for a few years or more than ten years." ”

"I won't hide it from you, this year the imperial court may have to attack Siam and other nearby small countries and take over their grain industry."

"But the transportation side should not be free."

"At that time, you will definitely need to escort it, but the profit may not be as high as it is now, or the goods may not be as much as it is now."

"But when the time comes, it will be almost the same to give the Zheng family three percent of the benefits, and it will always be profitable."

Hearing that he was going to fight Siam and other small countries, the old man frowned.

"When is this going to be fought? I'll get our people out first. ”

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this, and said meaningfully: "It depends on when your grain can be moved." ”

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed.

"You little one."

"Okay, I'll arrange for them to transport the grain back as soon as possible after I go back, and then go to Lingnan first, and then turn around when they all arrive in Lingnan."

Li Xiuzhu smiled.

After the war, not to mention the price of grain after the war, even the grain and grass lost during the war in Siam and other countries may not be a small amount, and when the time comes, the price of grain may rise.

As for what you said you said to spend money to buy now, you will get it without spending money when the time comes.

Isn't it the same with silver? They have all been robbed to the palace, and there is not much difference between silver and grain, and they will all be transported back at that time anyway, but the food will obviously be more in this way.

After dinner with the old man, Li Xiuzhu left, and he spent it at home yesterday, so he will go to the palace today.

He is not afraid of late time, he is not going through the main gate, he is all over the wall, it doesn't matter whether it is morning or night.

I went to Ruan Wenjun first, Ruan Wenjun seemed to be waiting for him, and as soon as he came in, he saw that Ruan Wenjun was already lying down.
