The tough wife has room to farm

Chapter 314

Temporarily having a countermeasure for the land matter, Wen Nuan calmed down, put the teacup to his lips in a pretentious manner, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "You said you brought me good news, tell me, what is it?" thing?"

Qiu Shangping was about to kneel to his sister-in-law, saying that a profiteer has no face, only the bones are the skin, but the speed of the sister-in-law changing the skin is too fast.

One moment, she was still looking like she was being attacked and filled with righteous indignation, and the next second, she was in the state of chatting without a trace. Are women's face-changing speeds so fast?
The small expression on Qiu Shangping's face was caught by Wen Nuan, "Ahem, speak ill of my sister-in-law behind her back, and the moon will cut her tongue at night, so it's okay to say it in my heart!"

Young Master Qiu obediently raised his hands and surrendered. Who told him that he really had something to do to his elder brother and sister-in-law, such as informing his parents...

"Okay, okay, I don't want to think about anything, sister-in-law, this trip to the south is very rewarding. Have you eaten the seafood I sent?"

Wen Nuan nodded, "I ate it. Except you, even Uncle Liu from Huizhou Mansion ate it. Everyone in the family responded very well. By the way, Mr. Shen told you to get some more if you have a chance!"

With Qiu Shangping's face full of pain, he knew that his sister-in-law was still trying to take revenge on him.

I can only continue to say helplessly, "Sister-in-law, I will definitely get it if I have the chance. I also want to try your handicraft. I haven't had it for a long time!"

"Speak the truth..."

"Yes, the real thing... that is, when I went to the south, I found that we can transport the seafood you mentioned. Although the cost may be higher, the other is that there are many fruits in the south that I have never seen. The taste is definitely amazing. People are amazed.”

Qiu Shangping doesn't need to say this, Wen Nuan himself understands that because of the climate and the intensity of sunshine in the south, not only are there many tropical fruits, but the common varieties are several degrees sweeter than those in the north.

It's just that the temperature is too high, it's not easy to transport, and many fruits can only be the unique delicacy there. Many seniors who discovered this also lost their fortunes.

The overripe fruits were all rotten on the way here, not to mention selling, even the cost would not be recovered, and the travel expenses had to be subsidized.

"How is the grain output over there this year?" Wen Nuan asked another topic of concern.

Qiu Shangping opened his mouth and said proudly, "Food production has not been affected much this year. Our insecticide prescriptions were delivered in time, and with the constant rain in the south, the insect plague is not as serious as ours."

"As far as I know, because of the geographical location in the south, there are basically two crops of grain a year. Will the price there be much lower than ours?"

"The price difference will not be very different. This year is special because the government has imposed price limits to stabilize the soaring food prices in the disaster-stricken areas. Therefore, the price differences in previous years will not be seen much this year, but the supply of goods is relatively sufficient. Businesses do not have many profit points, and they are all on the sidelines.”

"That is to say, most of the grain is still in the hands of the common people, and the grain merchants have no profit and have not purchased it?"

The fact is indeed as Qiu Shangping said, in previous years, due to the difference between the north and the south, after the grain merchants received a large amount of grain, they still had some profits, but this year when the disaster happened, the imperial court intervened to stabilize the grain price, so they could not see that profit. .

The businessman couldn't get up early without profit, so he naturally stopped the acquisition, which just reconciled his warm heart.

She turned to Qiu Shangping who was waving his folding fan to the side, and said, "There is something I need you to do."

"What's the matter sister-in-law?"

"Before your elder brother left, he told me to concentrate our financial resources to buy as much food and grass as possible. There will be a war in the west, so let's prepare for emergencies."

What they are doing is food-related business. If the price of goods really rises sharply by then, even if the flames of war do not burn to the middle of the girder, there will be no food to sell. At that time, it will be a fatal blow to the business.

Especially for the Shen family who had just started their business, such a blow was almost devastating. They were different from the big family's business, the century-old family with a deep background.

"Brother asked us to stockpile food? It seems that the war in the west is not optimistic. This battle is mostly caused by the severe disasters in the west. It is absolutely right to hear from my brother. I will pack up in a few days and leave to continue south to collect grain."

Qiu Shangping was thinking, take down the land in Huaiyuan County first, and it is a good thing to have more land in his hands at any time, and it is always better to plan ahead when one is alive.

"You don't have to go too far to the south. It's around the Nenjiang River basin. It's the best place to harvest grain near the Nenjiang River. The water is abundant there. Even in this year's year, it's still a place for good harvests."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll save these! In addition, you remember to send a letter to the shopkeeper Bai Chengen, telling him not to go too close to the west, a big war will start, and a large number of people from the western relatives and tribes will not be able to enter the customs, but there will be disturbances from the squad , the west side is already unstable.”

It was the first time Wen Nuan heard the real news about the war from this dynasty.

She sat there, thoughtful, but did not answer Qiu Shangping's words.

Qiu Shangping also knows that the sister-in-law is probably worried about the safety of her elder brother now!
Why didn't I worry about it? After all, I really participated in such a bloody battle. I saw with my own eyes that the soldiers who were talking and laughing a moment ago fell beside me in the next second, and closed their eyes forever.

For a moment, the atmosphere of the two people in the room was a little gloomy, each of them fell into their own thoughts, which were more or less related to this annoying battle.

Qiu Shangping put away his usual portrait of an irritable father, sitting upright, his mind was occupied by those cruel images, and his voice was low, "Sister-in-law, don't think too much, elder brother is very skilled, and I With dad by my side, they will all return safely."

These words are intended to comfort Wen Nuan, but also seem to be comforting himself.

Seeing that Nuan Nuan still didn't respond to him, and was still immersed in trance, Qiu Shangping regretted mentioning the topic of the war in the west, but he had already said it, and it was difficult to take it back, so he could only leave with his hands, leaving space for Nuan Nuan.

The thought in his heart was that his elder brother went to the frontier to guard the territory of Daliang, so he had to help his elder brother protect these family members whom he valued so much in his heart, no matter the cost.

The reason for the thoughtful warmth in the room was not because she was really too worried about Shen Pingxi's situation. She knew her husband as well as herself.

What she was thinking about was another hidden worry!
Although the family members are now in Nanhe Village, Huifeng City, which belongs to the hinterland of Daliang Kingdom, it is much safer than the frontier, but according to the warm understanding of Daliang's terrain and the surrounding tribes, there is a faint Jojo's bad guess.

The more I think about it, the more worried I become. No, she can't gamble her family's safety. The most favorable place right now is there... Should I also prepare in advance?
