Chapter 194: Dou'er Village
After calculation, the silver in her hand is less than a hundred taels, such a small amount of money, at most to buy some land, to buy a mountain, enough to hang.
"Then you came to me, do you want to?"
He couldn't have looked for her for no reason, he thought he wanted her to help.
"I want to form a caravan"
"The main commodity is food"
Li Xiuyuan said his plan, and his eyes were shining, a little deep.
Bai Xia nodded his chin and thought in his head.
Nowadays, there is a shortage of food in all states and counties, and the people are frugal every day, but they can't bear the small production in the fields and the large number of people in their families.
It is Liu Tai and Qishan, who have a monthly salary of 300 wen and ten catties of grain, and they can't let go of eating, let alone other people.
"Caravans are unremarkable, there is a shortage of food everywhere these days, and wherever the caravans go, they will be welcomed"
"And your grain here has no provenance, so no one will find out about Liu Yunzhai, and you can also let them sell grain while inquiring about the news."
"Of course, I won't let you suffer, or buy food from you at a price of thirty wen a catty, what do you think?"
Li Xiuyuan knew that Bai Xia had a secret, and it was by no means as simple as the immortal art she said.
If he wants to do this business, he can't let people find Liu Yunzhai by the way, so he needs Bai Xia to follow the caravan, so that this caravan will be more mysterious, and it can also help him divert some attention and facilitate him to do other things.
"The money received will be kept by you, you will keep it, I can rest assured"
Li Xiuyuan elaborated on his plan, which not only had his own purpose, but also had the meaning of fully utilizing Bai Xia's ability.
"Now the village is too poor, and the stall fees and entrance fees collected alone are far from enough to support the construction of the city."
"Even if Sister Ziying helps, in the end, what she earns from business is her own money, and I can't rely on her all the time."
"If you want to buy a mountain, you can't do without money, I think about it, this is the best way"
The two discussed in the room, and after talking for an afternoon, Li Xiuyuan came out of the white summer room.
Bai Xia looked at the back of him leaving, and a trace of deep thought crossed his eyes.
Her golden finger can't be hidden, but the task must not fail, when she doesn't remember her memory, she still feels that it doesn't matter, but after the memory comes back, she doesn't allow herself to fail.
Now that Li Xiuyuan has stood up, she can worry a lot less, but at the same time, he has also calculated against her.
She believed that his intention to buy the mountain was real, but in the case of the caravan, she was more suspicious of his test of her, testing where her ability was.
It's just that when he doesn't find out the details of her, he shouldn't act rashly.
Fortunately, her purpose is also to help him ascend to the throne, as long as he doesn't do anything excessive, these can be left to him, and this will really help him in his later development.
Glancing at the pitiful amount of energy, the corners of Bai Xia's mouth twitched, she should also find a way to make money, otherwise there would always be a feeling that she might starve to death at any time.
With a plan, both of them got busy.
When it comes to building a caravan, there are a lot of things to be arranged first.
First of all, this caravan couldn't start from Liu Yunzhai, Li Xiuyuan and Bai Xia pondered carefully, and finally decided to start from Xuzhou.
Xuzhou Thorn Shi was transferred and promoted to the capital, and now there is no official in Xuzhou.
Secondly, Xuzhou is more chaotic, and it is reasonable to say that there is a group of traveling merchants selling grain.
Moreover, Xuzhou is not far from Jiazhou, Ganzhou, and Jizhou, but it can penetrate into other states from there, and with grain, you are not afraid that you will not be able to sell it, but you can't be so blatant.
The two of them carefully considered it, and finally decided that Bai Xia would take ten people out, go to Xuzhou first, sell grain along the surrounding villages and towns, and then find a way to spread it around.
——
Xuzhou, Qingyang County, Douer Village.
A green cloth carriage staggered from the direction of the county town towards the village, and a few dolls who were crazy on the mountain saw it from a distance, so they ran down as if they were strange, looked around the carriage, and did not dare to come forward.
Four or five babies, barefoot, with no clothes on their upper bodies, only a pair of shorts that could cover their lower bodies.
His body was tanned, and he never liked to be clean, standing there, like a few coal dolls.
"Eh, little dolls, do you want to eat candy?"
The driver of the car was a simple uncle, he reined in his horse and waved to the children on the side.
Several dolls' eyes lit up when they heard Sugar, but instead of stepping forward, they held each other's hands and looked at the coachman vigilantly.
"Let me ask you something, how should I get from the village chief's house here? Speaking of which, the candy in my hand is his."
The uncle didn't mind, and took out a few pieces of caramel from his arms, which hooked those boys into a big cratle.
"I ...... I know I can show you the way."
"I know it too"
"I know"
When I saw the candy, I heard that I just went to the village chief's house, and it shouldn't be some kind of kidnapper, so I scrambled one by one.
The uncle just wanted to ask for directions, and he didn't want these boys to quarrel, so he gave a piece of candy to each of them, and said with a smile: "Then you will show me the way."
"Okay, please come with me, nobleman"
A little baby took the candy, looked like she had been reading for two days, and cleverly stepped forward to lead the way.
The uncle was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again: "I can't be a nobleman, I'm not a nobleman, my master is."
After speaking, he drove the car and followed a few boys who led the way, and came to Dou'er Village.
As soon as I entered the village, I received vigilant and scrupulous glances from the villagers.
"Sanwazi, who are they?"
Seeing the child leading the way in front, a woman grabbed a baby and took it aside, looked at the carriage, and asked in a low voice.
"The second remnant said that they were nobles"
"What are they doing here?"
"Looking for the village chief's uncle"
After speaking, the three babies mixed into the team leading the way, thinking that they could mix two more pieces of caramel to eat.
The children did not walk slowly, but the roads in the village were not very smooth, so the carriage walked slowly, and when they reached the door of the village chief's house, the village chief was already waiting at the door, and his eyes were curiously looking at the group.
The carriage is not big, it looks relatively ordinary, and the man who drives the carriage is honest and honest, with a loyal face, and he should not be a bad person.
The village chief stood in front of the door, watched the man who was driving the car take out some caramel, and handed it to the children who led the way, then got out of the carriage, took out the footstool, and shouted respectfully: "Girl, the village chief's house of Dou'er Village has arrived"
The village chief has seen some of the market, and judging by his style, he should be a servant of which family.
Sure enough, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a white arm, and a girl dressed in a fine cotton shirt stepped out of the carriage.
The village chief took a step forward, thinking that this person was the girl that the big man shouted, but it turned out to be not.
The girl who got out of the carriage lifted the curtain, and a girl of six or seven years old helped a girl who was not much older than her to come out, and stepped on the footstool and fell to the ground.
"Is this the village chief?"
The girl who got out of the car first stepped forward and bowed to the village chief.
