Madam, She Has a Tender Heart - #464 - Chapter 465: Old people from the imperial capital

Seeing Xu Shaoyan coming to the door, Su Qingyu smiled at him and said, “You are quite well informed.

“I’m just eating this bowl of rice. Besides, you didn’t hide it deliberately.” Xu Shaoyan greeted Su Qingyu with a smile.

Since Xu Shaoyan came to Xuzhou three years ago to purchase ironware, and later used his relationship with Su Qingyu to sell salt in Yancheng, his family has now moved to Xuzhou.

The Xu family’s business only relied on these two things, and it became popular again.

Xu Shaoyan was grateful.

It is said that there are people in the court who are easy to be officials, and the same is true in business. Without any connections or connections, they cannot move away. I thought that the Xu family’s business was going to be in decline, but I didn’t expect that through the relationship with Zhenhai Jiedushi’s wife, the Xu family’s business would pick up again.

No worse than before. Still more stable.

The two chatted for a while, and Su Qingnao saw that Xu Shaoyan had brought many gifts, and said angrily: “Don’t bring such heavy gifts every time you come to the house. I am embarrassed to let you come.”

Xu Shaoyan smiled and said: “What the hell are you doing? Compared with the convenience you and your Excellency have given my family, it’s really not worth mentioning.”

Su Qingyu smiled and said nothing more. If he feels more at ease that way, so be it.

“Do you want to do the seafood business?”

Xu Shaoyan nodded: “Sending these salt-heavy sea goods to inland cities is less conspicuous than selling salt. It may be more popular with the people. People in the inland usually don’t like these sea goods. I believe the business must be good. And in various places There should be a lot of need in the military.”

“It’s also because your family can do business in various local armies. This business cannot be compared to selling it to the people in pieces.”

“The military is large, but there are also many variables. It costs a lot of money every year to smoothen the relationship between China and China. It is more practical to do business with the common people.”

Su Qingyu nodded. Indeed, big profits mean big risks.

In the future, the Xu family wholesaled marine goods from Haizhou and Xuzhou at low prices, then transported them to inland cities and towns, and then wholesaled them to local retailers. They did not retail them themselves, thus avoiding the rent and labor costs. Peaceful operating costs, easy and not too time consuming.

But the family is also a big business, with many people and escorts, and only a mature caravan of its own can do this north-south barter business. Otherwise, the world outside is so chaotic that even the goods can’t be protected.

In addition to the local market, Su Qingyu also wanted to find such qualified and capable merchants to do bulk wholesale business.

The two soon reached an agreement, and the Xu family became a major merchant in Xin Geng Seafood Line.

The two signed the order contract and settled the matter. We also negotiated the wholesale prices for each product.

Let Xu Jiarang get the goods from the Xuzhou store.

They can go to Haizhou to pull it by themselves, but now every few days, people from the army will pull the overseas goods from Haizhou back to Xuzhou, and some of them will be transported to the shops, and some of them will be transported to the army.

With people from the military escorting them, no one dared to grab the goods, and it also saved the Xu family all the expenses of going to Haizhou.

Seeing that the purchase was going so smoothly, Xu Shaoyan decided to go home to discuss and increase the order quantity. And since Mrs. Su is so cooperative, he also wants to travel more inland and help her open up more channels so that she can sell more goods.

Xuzhou’s 200,000-strong army spends a huge amount of money on military expenses every month. Now that your Excellency is leading troops to fight abroad, the military expenses and supplies are huge. He can help the Lord and his wife earn more money, so he can help as much as possible.

Although Pei Shi has been busy these days, he is very happy.

Now that the treasury is full of money, and the army is fighting abroad, there is no need to look forward and backward, and search and search.

If you have money, make whatever you want.

The adults can fight wherever they want. If the rear wants money, give money, if it wants grain and grass, it will give grain and grass, if it wants men, it will give clothes, if it wants clothes, it will give clothes, but if there are few horses? Buy it, not short of money.

The governor of Haizhou also wrote a letter saying that in the past few months, the taxes collected by Haizhou have filled the yamen’s warehouse.

Thinking again about the dozens of large granaries in Xuzhou that were full of grain, all overflowing, Pei Shi felt as if he had eaten honey.

This is how people live.

It’s not like at the end of the Shuo Dynasty, when the warehouses and granaries were so empty that they could run horses. The treasury had no money, so it had to levy heavy taxes on the people to maintain the operation of the court. If the Shuo Dynasty does not perish, who will perish?

If we impose heavy taxes on the common people and the grain they grow is not enough to pay the taxes, who will be willing to farm? There is no food to eat and no salt to eat. If the people don’t rebel, who will?

Pei Shi is happy at work and happy at home.

The grandson received an important job, gained the respect of adults, and was able to work hard. The granddaughter-in-law he married also agreed with her and kept the house in order.

I originally thought that she didn’t understand the affairs of the clan, but I didn’t expect that he only asked the women of the clan to teach her a few times, and she would be able to stir up issues in the Pei clan.

Pei Shi believes that she will be a qualified clan wife in the future.

Pei Shi felt happy and walked on the road leisurely.

At this time, the autumn wind is blowing, and the autumn air is crisp. The autumn wind in the evening makes people feel comfortable. He abandoned his sedan chair and strolled down the street, just in time to see the fireworks of the people in Xuzhou City.

As I was walking on the road, looking at the bustling crowds of people on the street, I felt so happy when I was stopped by a man.

“Master Pei?”

who? Pei Shi turned his head and looked around. When he saw it clearly, he was surprised.

“Who are you?”

“Master Pei, please take a step to speak.”

Pei Shi was shocked and confused. He didn’t expect to see people from the past imperial capital here.

The two found a secluded private room in a restaurant and sat down.

“Master Pei seems to be more energetic than before.”

Pei Shi smiled, he was in a good mood, everything was done properly, and he was naturally in good spirits.

Pei Xi didn’t say anything. He just stared at the man in front of him. The scenes of the past imperial court kept surging in his mind.

Both of them were silent.

“Master Pei is now with the governor of Zhenhai. It seems that he is doing well?”

Pei Xi smiled: “Yes, Master Lu is a wise leader.”

Wu Xiu looked at Pei Xi, thinking that his Pei family, a big family for hundreds of years, ended up like that. He was very sad. He thought that his Pei family would be destroyed like the Shuo Dynasty, but he didn’t expect that they would come back to life in Zhenhai.

As for him, his old master was killed, and no one in his family was left alive. He fled with his family and hid on the southeast coast. He thought that this would be the end of his life. Unexpectedly, he met him.

“Why did you get to Xuzhou? I thought you…” Pei Xi asked.

Wu Xiu smiled bitterly: “In the eyes of others, I am a person who has been dead for a long time. But I met a person in Haizhou before, and my heart came back to life.” Pei Xi looked at him: “Who is it?” “His face looks like my sister, and his eyes look like my brother-in-law.” Wu Xiu’s sister, brother-in-law? Prince Xin and his wife? “Who?” Pei Xi’s heart was pounding. Wu Xiu looked at him and said lightly: “The eldest son of Lord Lu.” “What!” Pei Xi stood up in shock, and the stool was overturned by him.
