Madam, She Has a Tender Heart - Chapter 465

Chapter 465 Old people from the capital

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

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

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

 Xu’s family’s business only relied on these two things, and it began to become 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 can’t move away. I thought that the Xu family’s business was about to decline, but unexpectedly, through the relationship with Zhenhai Jiedushi’s wife, the Xu family’s business picked up again.

 No worse than before. Still more stable.

The two of them chatted for a while. Su Qingnao saw that Xu Shaoyan had brought a lot of 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 **** 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 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 many needs in the military.”

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

“The military has a large amount of troops, 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, and then transported them to inland cities and towns, and then wholesaled them to local retailers. They did not retail them themselves, which avoided 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 many guards and followers. Only with its own mature caravan can it do this north-south barter business. Otherwise, the world outside is so chaotic that even goods can’t be protected.

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

 The two soon reached an agreement, and the Xu family became a large merchant in Xingenhai.

 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 goods from Haizhou back to Xuzhou, and some of them will be transported to the shops and some to the army.

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

Xu Shaoyan saw that the purchase was going so smoothly, so he 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 each month. Now that you are leading troops to fight abroad, the military expenses and supplies are huge. He can help the master 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.

Your Majesty, you can attack wherever you want. The rear requires money for money, food for food and grass, men for men, clothing for clothing, and 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 government warehouses.

Thinking again about the dozens of large granaries in Xuzhou that were full of grain, all of which overflowed. 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 horses could race. 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?

 We impose heavy taxes on the people. If 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 thought she didn’t understand the affairs of the Pei clan at first, but I didn’t expect that he only asked the women of the clan to teach her a few times, and she was 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.

I was walking on the road, looking at the hustle and bustle of people on the street, and I felt so good 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 surprised and confused. He didn’t expect to see people from the past imperial capital here.

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

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

Pei Shi smiles, is in a good mood, takes care of everything, and is naturally in good spirits.

Pei Shi didn’t say anything, and looked at the man in front of him. The images of the past imperial capital kept flooding in his mind.

　　Both of them were silent.

“Master Pei is following Zhenhai Jiedushi now, and he seems to be doing a good job, right?”

Pei Shi smiled and said, “Yes, Mr. Lu is a wise master.”

Wu Xiu looked at Pei Shi, thinking that his Pei family, which had been a powerful family for hundreds of years, ended up with such an end, and was very sad. He thought that his Pei family would disappear like Shuo Chao, but unexpectedly, he came back to life in Zhenhai.

As for him, his old masters were all destroyed, and no one in his family was left alive. He fled with his family and hid on the southeastern coast, thinking that this would be it for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, he met him.

“How did you get to Xuzhou? I thought you…” Pei Shi asked.

Wu Xiu smiled bitterly: “In the eyes of others, I am a person who has been dead for many years. But I met a person in Haizhou before, and my heart came back to life.”

Pei Shi looked at him: “Who is it?”

“His face looks like my sister’s, and his eyes look like my brother-in-law’s.”

Wu Xiu’s sister and brother-in-law?

 Xin Wang and his wife?

 “Who?” Pei Shi’s heart was racing.

Wu Xiu looked at him and said calmly: “Master Lu’s eldest son.”

“What!” Pei Shi stood up in shock, knocking over the stool.
