Chapter 158, I really want to make trouble
Miss Xi Shiwu continued to look at the jewelry sent by King Jin. She came from such a family. She was a girl who knew the goods. In the light of her eyes, she loved a ring, no pearls or treasures. The ordinary red gold ring was smooth with the smoothness of time. You can know that before it was delivered to her, it was a favorite thing that the owner often rubbed. Outside, she specially took a piece of agarwood box worth more than the red gold value to collect.
This is the birth mother of His Highness King Jin. Although Liang Ren did not expect the fifteenth girl to speak in front of Xi Chonggu, his marriage was originally the support of the Xi family. He could not please Xi Chonggu. He gave the biological mother's belongings he carried with him and often played with to his fiancé's hands. However, Liang Ren expressed his attitude to the Xi family at all times. He would love her or respect her, and would be willing to live a beautiful life with the in-laws of the Xi family.
Compared with other things sent, the red gold ring is the least picky and has no dazzling value. However, the relics of the biological mother are undoubtedly the most touching of the heart of the fifteenth girl. This is a thought that can be passed down to future generations and then to future generations.
Not necessarily the most valuable gold and silver.
Ah, Your Highness...Miss Xi Shiwu stroked Chijin's old jewelry, and he was in his heart, eyes and mind.
.....
Mrs. Chengpingbo would not have thought of how much trouble she caused by accident. King Jin of Jin was alarmed at the city of Xixian, Xixian, Zhongcheng Province and Nanxing. She was enthusiastically watching Xixian's rich products, and spent expensive money to enter the more supple salt lakes and salt mines. The hinterland could not be reached. Just a glance at the vast snow-white area from a distance, and the people who were letting them in private were frequently urged to leave.
In addition to the 30,000 taels of silver, we went to a small salt lake and two small salt mines. It was said that it was a lake and mine, but it was actually a small branch flowing out of the salt lake and a very small vein of the salt mine, satisfying Mrs. Bo, "Hey, can this salt water be eaten after drying it? Ah, can this stone be used after knocking and crushing it?"
The process of salt boiling is mature in this dynasty. Mrs. Bo also knew that there were complicated procedures for salt making, but salt was too profitable. Compared with profit, the complex procedures were ignored. When I saw the shock of the salt lake and salt mines for the first time, Mrs. Bo always expressed the feeling of "This is gold and silver".
Xiao Yun, the shopkeeper of Xixian, Longmen Trading Company, always sighed that "she has finally had another day of peace" after Mrs. Bo left the salt lake safely.
There are more than three cities adjacent to Xixian and Zhongcheng Province, and rumors spread more than just around the three cities. The fief of King Lu, Xixian, has twenty-one cities. By the time Xiao Yun received the news today, there have been rumors in seven cities.
The common people cannot understand the struggle for power, the news stops in the palace, the officialdom, the traffic stops in the stagnation, and the rumors are the origin of their collapse.
The King of Jin crossed the army and wanted to take Xixian into his pocket, "Why did he do this?"
"Brother, you don't know yet. His Highness Nanxing got engaged to the Xi family, which is the Xi family in Huangzhou."
"Can you grab territory by getting engaged? This court and this emperor don't care?"
"Brother, he has been engaged to the Xi family, and some of them are soldiers."
"Oh, I understand. Let's talk about how to escape, bring more food and bring more food..."
If Nanxing's 30,000 live darts have nothing to do with the upcoming battle, Xiao Yun would not believe that the person is coming, and the war that is about to be fought is also strange. Old Manager Hou patted his chest and said that Mrs. Bo was not a meticulous work. Okay, Xiao Yun asked back: "You Nanxing Commercial Bank dare to take on all the responsibilities of her meticulous work?"
Old Manager Hou's voice was hoarse. He was not Mrs. Bo, nor was His Highness King Jin. How dare he promise that Mrs. Bo was not the commander of King Jin's horse. On the day when Mrs. Bo was assassinated, the old Manager's monkey punch made people laugh. He couldn't say that I had forgotten it now.
When Mrs. Chengpingbo became more and more excited as she visited, the pressure on the open and secret angels of Longmen Trading Company was increasing day by day, and she was afraid that this person would do something quietly.
Mrs. Bo really wanted to do something. Seeing a large area of salt lakes and large salt mines, she was shocked by the wealth of King Lu, and she automatically converted the salt lakes and salt mines into a tragic war in her mind. He had endless money, so she bullied people as much as she wanted.
I want to buy an assassin for ten thousand taels of silver and keep her eyebrows still, and I want to cultivate a dead man's purse and never lose weight. She often can't sleep when she thinks like this. In fact, what she sees is just a very small salt lake and mineral veins.
Pushing the pillow in the middle of the night and lingering in the autumn moon is a kind of elegance. She is so excited that she can't fall asleep with Madam Bo.
After breakfast on that day, before going out, Mrs. Chengpingbo finally couldn't help it and respectfully asked the shopkeeper Hou's help: "Look at this salt lake and salt mine, can you buy it?"
Old Manager Hou was shocked, and the three big managers were not in vain to guard against this person. Sure enough, she was not here to stroll around. He thought about it and told the truth.
"Haha, people don't sell almost 10% of the lake."
"A few percent," Mrs. Bo sucked the air conditioner suddenly: "Isn't what I see still a whole salt lake?"
"No, hehe, I won't let you get close. You can also see it a few times, and you know how much it costs."
Mr. Hou reported a number at the right time: "You want this lake or mine. First, you can stop buying and selling in this clear land of birth. Second, this is not Nanxing, and all the procedures are not easy to handle."
Mrs. Chengping didn't say anything for a long time. Lin De came to ask if it was time to go out. Today I'll be rushing to a local chamber of commerce. If I don't go, I will come back late. Mrs. Bo was still stunned. Just when the shopkeeper Hou thought Mrs. Bo was not enough money, so she gave up. Mrs. Bo suddenly laughed again: "I'm not buying it alone, I can also buy a share of the stock. Please help me arrange it."
She thought too much, and she instantly wanted to take out a lot of land deeds and house deeds that control Xixian Shopping Mall when she met King Lu. How beautiful the face of His Highness should be.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
The shopkeeper Hou was so scared that he was trembling. Not to mention that the noble lady of Nanxing was not suitable for buying the property of King Lu’s fiefdom, even if His Highness of Lu passed Ming Road to Nanxing, Longmen Trading Company would not agree. Your family has the ability and asks for relevant economics to organize the company, which has nothing to do with Longmen Trading Company.
Our business bodyguard, who owns a stake in salt in Xixian, is this the tiger's butt of King Lu? The old shopkeeper was hesitant and did not dare to agree. Mrs. Bo also knew that she was trying hard, but she refused to let Longmen Business Company go easily.
You can take me around for 30,000 taels of silver. Are you so embarrassed? If you can, you can take out as much ability as you can.
She smiled like a silver bell: "If you don't agree to me today, it will be true; if you don't agree to me tomorrow, it will be true; I said, "Old shopkeeper, if you have nothing to do, you will be able to take a look at me and listen to me more."
Without giving the opportunity for Old Manager Hou to refuse, Mrs. Bo stood up and said, "Let's go. I heard that the chamber of commerce here is better than that in Nanxing."
The shopkeeper Hou's follower was inevitably frustrated. The 30,000 taels of silver was indeed not fun. Fortunately, he was eighty-six years old and would not be worried about these words. He just felt that Mrs. Bo would not let Longmen Trading Company go. The shopkeeper behind the shopkeeper said that he was not serving well, so he would definitely say, "You can't come a few fun and fun guys, and coax her to watch the fun and come back."
Old Manager Hou was holding the long cigarette pole and pondering.
Except for the eastern neighbor Zhongcheng Province, Xixian is Xichang to the north, and the other large borders to the west are small countries and tribes in Xijiang. Zhongcheng Province and Xichang are not controlled by Xixian. The small countries in Xijiang are the real beneficiaries of the King of Lu's salt industry. There is no doubt that the matter of salt is subject to King Lu.
In the autumn of Xixian, the chamber of commerce was crowded with people, and there was no house condition. There was a stall outside the tent set up by the caravan from afar. Mrs. Chengpingbo smiled. Once upon a time, she was a grocery store girl who was not afraid of being looked at by neighbors and strangers. However, she was in such a dynasty, smelling the air of the three obediences and four virtues, and she was still the best at hiding from her bones.
Later, she liked all kinds of customers to gather in Bofu Chamber of Commerce, bringing all kinds of laughter, experiences and goods, and then she had a generous income.
The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is to shorten the journey of finding customers for you, and you pay me to accumulate connections.
As for people, the more people come, the better. Speaking of this, Mrs. Bo thought of Chengping Bo again. Thanks to his extensive land construction, the outer door has not been fully used until today.
The chamber of commerce in Bo Mansion still needs more new faces and more old customers.
The warm sounds of abacus, bargaining, and arguing about the height of goods made Mrs. Bo feel like she was in the clouds. She definitely did not make the prosperity of the Chamber of Commerce of King Lu. Since entering the Chamber of Commerce, her hand huddled in her sleeves kept moving. After a while, she moved again, suppressed and moved again, and wanted to post a wave of invitations from the Chamber of Commerce of Chengping Bo Mansion here.
Even if there is no invitation at hand, the fingers are itchy, causing the head to swell and the eyes are bright, and the conduction effect makes the fingers continue to move. This is not a random act, it is a circle and a cross. Mrs. Bo secretly remembers the name and origin of the merchant she likes.
After the experience of the trip, Mr. Hou and Xiao Shuzi never left her, and just sent her out the old concubine, Lin De and the others. Now, Dong Qiao came back with a trot, and she was just a girl, and she was an important and dedicated person.
He whispered: "Madam, the surname of the family with the most fur is Xing, and his family is a small country in Nanwan. I asked him why he didn't go to other chambers of commerce in China. He said he would naturally be willing to go if he had a way."
Green fingers are scratching the sleeves bit by bit, circle by circle. At this moment, there is no paper and pen all depends on memory. If you don’t draw a few more fingers in the sleeve, you can’t deepen your memory.
The salt merchant built a simple wooden house. Mrs. Bo stood outside the shop and couldn't walk. She wanted to get to know her. She looked at the shopkeeper Hou as if she was not careful. Mrs. Bo walked over and grabbed a handful of salt through her sleeves: "What's the price?"
I followed up and asked questions, saying that I came from the capital. I heard that the salt from Xixian is good and may be bought in other provinces. Can he be the leader of the shopkeeper and discuss the business of the bulk?
Mr. Hou followed silently, Xiao Shuzi looked around and actually defended against unknown damage, chewing it in her mouth. Today, the desserts that Dong Qiao dispersed looked like new ones, and were light and soft, with the sweet fragrance of freshly released from the pot. Xiao Shuzi exchanged his last piece of dry food for peace of mind.
It was agreed that Mrs. Bo would care about them eating and drinking all the way, but at the beginning of the journey, Xiaoshuzi still brought dry food. The hard-dough cakes from the escort agency under the Longmen Trading Company were chewed very delicious except for drying.
Old Manager Hou condemned Xiao Shuzi for being greedy, but Mrs. Bo was also greedy for their dry food. Xiao Shuzi was concerned about eating, and changed the food piece to Dong Qiao.
Now it stuffed it into your mouth, drank water, burped comfortably, and then stretched: "Comfortable."
Old Manager Hou rolled his eyes, Xiao Shuzi shrugged and ignored it. Old Manager was just worried, and Mrs. Bo's family also did business, either, asking for a price. He carried his body and took out a piece of snack from his arms and stuffed it into his mouth.
Mrs. Chengpingbo was getting more and more courageous. Old Manager Hou was guarding her. She could see that she had made fun of Qin after she fell asleep. Could she have three heads and six arms that could take the land with the fief of King Lu at a glance?
The next day after laughing, Mrs. Bo was somewhat affected, and her words and affairs were restricted. At this time, she was completely relaxed. The atmosphere here was like the sea to accept fish swimming, and like birds returning to the mountains and forests. Although the grocery store in You's family was small, she was also a girl from a merchant. For the sake of life, Mrs. Chengping soon chatted and laughed with the shopkeepers who marked the Lu Prince's Mansion.
The thin veil cannot stop the business practices. The hearing that I heard at the House Chamber of Commerce last year was just right here. The lack of information circulation is always a criticism of this dynasty, and it also caused anyone to have a certain amount of news, even if it is within three years, as long as the other party doesn't know, they will have a certain topic of talk.
Old Manager Hou became more and more silent. He listened to Mrs. Bo’s nonsense, and he didn’t know what to say and didn’t want to answer the conversation. But Xiao Shuzi fully cooperated. Mrs. Bo said she was a businesswoman from Funan Province. Xiao Shuzi immediately reported the name of the city in Funan Province and went to a certain town and street in detail.
OK, now he was even more hyped. Old Manager Hou was smoking a cigarette and said in his heart, "Thirty thousand taels, thirty thousand taels, the one who served this person, and was satisfied, did she cause trouble now?"
No.
Have you made a taboo?
No.
The old shopkeeper Hou's silent voice was silent, and there was no one to stop him. Mrs. Bo happily chatted with the shopkeepers. She couldn't in Nanxing, but she needed to keep her identity as Mrs. Bo. Here she could. The wife of the merchant did not have the saying that men and women were very careful.
She patiently asked the address of these shops in the inland area, and anyone at the shopkeeper's house also asked, his fingers were busy in his sleeves, circles and circles. She recorded the preferences of these people and how many people there were at home, whether they were boys or girls, so that they could get close to each other when needed in the future.
In addition to her, Qin Shi was also very busy, and Dong Qiao helped her and was always worried: "Where did the cloth-selling house just now live?"
"This is an inland family, and it supplies Taifeng Commercial Bank all year round. He said that there are too many people in this chamber of commerce, and it seems to be large, and the place is simple and cannot be taken care of. Taifeng Commercial Bank does not come to this chamber of commerce, so he came with his own fabric."
Dong Qiao told Qin again that sometimes he would be calm and comfortable when looking at Aunt Ping.

I'm still not used to the mixture of olive oil and juice. Uh, it's not good to drink, but after drinking it all, the effect is good today.
