Yuan Taiwei said angrily that he would not allow anyone to disobey his decision.

Old Steward Yuan nodded hurriedly and went down to do something.

When the fourth young master Yuan Chen came to his senses, he was already lying in the cold ancestral hall, cold and hungry but did not dare to speak, because the person who took care of him had already reported the situation to Yuan Taiwei.

"Father, spare me, I was really wrong, I don't want to go to the frontier, there are savages there, and there are often Huns who invade ......."

Yuan Chen really cried, tears and snot, and seemed to be very repentant.

But no one dared to open the door of the ancestral hall, and everything had to wait for Yuan Taiwei to stop being angry.

Three days later, the fourth concubine, Yuan Chen, was already dying, and then he was hidden in a carriage and escorted to the colder northeast.

Human life is fragile and fragile, and tenacious and tenacious.

The fourth concubine, Yuan Chen, was stunned and survived to the northeast, and even recovered from his injuries.

Since then, he has settled down, and he has not written a letter, and he is clamoring to return to the capital.

When Yuan Taiwei and others knew how bad it was to let go of a pig teammate, the Yuan family had already suffered a catastrophe.

Nanjun Mansion and Dayuan County are very lively, and the closer they get to the New Year, the more lively they become.

In some small villages in Dayuan County, there are still villagers who can feel the different atmosphere.

Never before has there been so many people and so many caravans in Dayuan County.

The caravans sent out by the four families returned one after another, and one caravan returned with a full load.

Originally, the three old "families" of Fangjia, Wanjia, and Nanjia, although they were engaged in business, they were petty and did not completely abandon the road of farming and studying.

The Jin family is a professional business family, and the 'secret' of doing business has been passed down from generation to generation.

First of all, he took the salt ticket and exchanged the silver for a large batch of salted salt.

Selling salt along the road is really not low-level.

To make a living, you should not empty the car, the south goods are sold in the north, and the north goods are sold in the south, which is the way to make money.

Because it is always the low income and the high profit, which can allow the caravan to survive.

There are many dangers on this road, and it is difficult to get there, which is only one aspect.

Therefore, a strong caravan and a mature way to buy goods are the secrets of the old men of the caravan.

This is also the reason why the red-sleeved steward wants to rub the 'other people's business routes'.

The main reason is that it is too difficult to open up new trade routes by yourself, and I don't know if there is any danger, but if you rub the mature trade routes of other people's families, you just need to write down the routes.

Selling salt is really too easy to make money, and there is no more popular commodity than salt.

No matter how high the price is, some people buy it, and some people even buy it just to hoard it, and the salt can't be put away anyway.

As a result, the caravan's salt had just arrived and had not yet reached its destination, and it was almost sold, and it was so easy to make money.

The leaders of the five caravans, all of whom were the most trusted people in the family, shed tears when they thought about the difficulties of selling goods in ordinary times.

The world says that the merchants are treacherous, and they are not wrong, even if the shops that deliver goods for a long time may deliberately lower the price, not only to lower the price of the caravan's goods, but also to raise the price when they are sold, so as to make a fortune from the local people.

For example, Nanjun Mansion really has good things, but they can't be sold at a high price, or they are sold at a high price, and they can only be popular in a few high-class circles.

The main thing is that people don't believe that there can be anything good in Nanjun Mansion, and in everyone's mind, Nanjun Mansion is a poor country.

The leader of the caravan is the most touched, every time he sells goods, is it so simple?

In particular, the leaders of the Jin family almost wanted to cry bitterly, and the Jin family honed a good temperament in order to be able to sell good goods.

It is to face people without smiling faces, and to speak politely to people to value harmony and make money.

This is also the reason why many people look at the Jin family unpleasantly, and the world feels that it is too spineless, which is the groveling of businessmen.

But there are some businessmen who grovel to nobles and only sell goods, and in the face of wanton fraud by the common people, they don't look like a good person.

That's why so many people who read books belittle businessmen.

However, the Jin family found out that they had come out to sell salt this time, and they enjoyed different treatment, and they exchanged the silver they had obtained for special products from the north.

The Yuan caravan, on the other hand, bought a large amount of iron, which was said to be used to make agricultural tools. Of course, not all of them bought iron, but they also had to buy other goods.

The caravan suddenly went out and rushed back to Dayuan County a year ago, bringing back many other local specialties.

For example, all kinds of silk from the south of the Yangtze River, bright colors, and porcelain from the north, soft as fat, there are really too many good things in other places.

In Dayuan County, the county seat is very small, and there are not many rich people.

However, no matter how poor the Nanjun Government is, it is still a government city, and there are always such a group of wealthy people.

During the Chinese New Year, even the poorest people have to cut two catties of meat with all their hearts.

Ordinary people who have a little extra money, that is really to make new clothes, make new shoes, and eat the food to worship their ancestors during the New Year!

Dayuan County is only famous in the South County Government, and there are many strange goods, so that the merchants of the South County Government look at the goods and buy goods.

The common people who had a little money to spare also paid for some of the rare goods.

Especially in the cloth shop, there are also all kinds of embroidery threads, and a group of middle-aged women are pouring in.

"My eldest daughter is very good at embroidery, give me two embroidery threads with the most color!"

"I heard that there is silk from the north, and there is also silk from the south of the Yangtze River to show us what it looks like, and if it looks good, our wife wants ......."

"The second ...... shopkeeper"

One after another, the shopkeepers in the store were so busy that they were dizzy.

Even the shopkeeper couldn't help but come out to help sell the goods.

There are really countless situations like the cloth shop, and the three major families and the Jin family are already smiling.

As long as you can bring the whole family to earn money together, there will be no contradictions.

They even discussed giving some precious New Year's gifts to Young Master Yuan San before the Chinese New Year, and if there was such a good thing in the future, don't forget the big family.

It's almost the New Year, and it's winter, and it's not always cold in the south.

But after entering the winter, the cold in the south and the cold in the north are two different concepts.

The south is clammy and cold, and I feel that the whole person is going to be moldy and grow mushrooms.

The cold in the north, on the other hand, is pure dry cold, and the wind blows like a knife on the face, and the snow covers the houses and people.

No matter what kind of cold it is, it is unbearable cold for people.

Yuan Bin stayed in a dark room every day, and felt that the whole person was going to become extremely dark.

Only when I lose it can I know how to be precious, my big glass window~ big floor-to-ceiling window~

Yuan Bin is so painful, how should he burn the glass? Even if you use the most expensive window paper, call the window, the room is not bright at all.

You can't light candles day and night, because it's really a waste of money.

Light a charcoal brazier in the house, a little light can still drive away the moisture in the house, and when you have nothing to do, you can bury some chestnuts and roast them to eat.

I just need to open the window, so I'm afraid that I will accidentally smoke myself to death.

However, there are also benefits, such as roasting citrus on a small iron rack over a charcoal fire, and then placing a small teapot.

Yuan Bin really enjoyed it, and now he still regrets it a little, he has already thought of building a courtyard house, why didn't he think of building a fire kang or fire wall?

It's so unreasonable, Yuan Bin wants to slap himself, he doesn't need to build everything, he just needs to build a fire wall, simply burn it, and the whole house is dry.

Yes, that's right, if you have money and some people, why don't you let yourself live a better life?

Yuan Bin thought for a while and said directly: "The housekeeper has something to say." ”

"Back to the lord, the housekeeper, I am not at home these days and I am going to Nanjun Mansion and Dayuan County."

Wang Yu replied seriously, his face becoming more and more serious, and his face became more and more paralyzed.

Yuan Bin was silent for a while, and indeed he saw that the housekeeper had lost a lot of hair on his head, so he was not called a trivial matter.

"Then put it ...... Red Sleeves is calling! Leave it to her, and she can do it. ”

Yuan Bin thought very complacently, and sure enough, if he was promoted to a person who could do things, he would be able to relax himself.

"Back to my lord, the red-sleeved steward is taking someone to check the accounts, and he will have to connect with the four family projects before the Chinese New Year, and he is not at home."

Wang Yu continued to reply that there were no idlers in the entire mansion, and Wang Yu had to stand up as an adult as a young man.

"Then Village Chief Wang won't be fine, right?"

Yuan Bin asked in disbelief, there is no one, no one is working.

"It is worthy of the lord, the guess is really right, the reborn rice is fully ripe, and the village chief Wang is leading the villagers to harvest the rice, and at the same time he has to collect the second crop of taxes."

Wang Yu's tone was very happy, and after being happy, he immediately straightened his face and pretended to be very serious.

He can't be a hippie smiley and unstable person, he has to be a person who can make the lord respect.

"............" Yuan Bin's silence was so great that it would be so difficult to find someone in charge of the matter.

"Lord, leave anything you have to me, the housekeeper and the red-sleeved housekeeper have already instructed me to take good care of the lord!"

Wang Yu was not so thin and weak, and he had enough to eat and drink to recuperate, which made him grow taller, and after practicing martial arts, he ate more and his body was stronger.

Wang Yu wanted to relieve his worries from the bottom of his heart and make himself better.

"Well, go to the mason, and build a wall of fire for the house, and all the craftsmen of the north should think of a gap in the middle of the wall......"

After Yuan Bin explained what a wall of fire was and what a fire kang was, he would only say it, but he had never done it, and he really didn't know how to do it.

What to do can only be left to the craftsman himself.

Wang Yu nodded, and his heart was already quickly going through the request made by the lord.

"Can I leave? Is it okay if you don't have someone around to take care of you? There are no idlers in Zhuangzi now, so why don't you call the two little boys over. ”

"Okay, I'll just take a look at my two nephews."

Yuan Bin found it quite boring, and there was no entertainment, and teasing the children turned into fun.

Shuxiang brought the eldest son and the second son with two maids, after all, it is the main father's room, and it is really more comfortable than the son's room.

"Number of parents...... Guoguo ......"

The eldest son, Yuan Jiexi, could already start talking, pointing at the citrus with his little fat finger, and the hala was about to flow out.
