My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 213 211. Lu Su: I wanted to keep a low profile, but Sun Quan didn't allow it

In the past two years, it is not new for all kinds of businessmen to come to Chu'an, so the county soldiers let them go after checking the credentials.

For ordinary people, it may be difficult to obtain the guide certificate, but for Lu Su and Sun Quan, it is just a matter of flipping hands.

"Zhengdan is just over, here in Chu'an, there are people working in the fields?" Sun Quan was surprised to see the people working in the distance.

"Planting Sumai." Lu Su stroked his beard, his eyes full of seriousness.

"Brother, do you mean that these were planted last year?" Sun Quan frowned slightly as he looked at the little bit of greenery.

Of course he also knew the word Sumai.It has been hundreds of years since the Han Dynasty promoted the cultivation of wheat, but it was more in the north and the Central Plains.

On the Jiangnan side, people are more used to eating corn and rice.

"If it is indeed Sumai, it was indeed planted last year." Lu Su nodded.

Then he watched Sun Quan walk towards the edge of the field, saluted an old farmer, and said, "Dare to ask me, why are you working in the field at this time?"

When the old farmer saw that he was a young man, and his accent didn't look like a local, he smiled, "A businessman from outside?"

"Yes." Sun Quan also nodded with a smile.

"You people from outside, you have never seen winter wheat and summer rice. This wheat was planted last winter. Although it is cold now, the root system can survive last year's winter and wait for the warmth of spring." The old farmer smiled, "But the work in the field can't be done when the weather comes. Now loosen the land a little bit, and it will be easier when the weather is warmer."

Sun Quan said he was taught, and returned to Lu Su, "It really is Su Mai."

"Sumai will be harvested around April. However, after harvesting Sumai, we need to convert dry fields into paddy fields and plant another season of rice..." Lu Su shook his head.

He's not the kind of guy who doesn't know how to farm.

On the contrary, he is also a good farmer.He also grew up watching the thousands of acres of land in the clan.

He has grown corn, and he has also grown rice...but he has not seen winter wheat and summer rice in the Dajiang area.

"Yes, if you want to know the secret, you have to stay here for several months." Sun Quan sighed, this time... it is impossible for them to stay for several months.

However, the spy in his hand can stay.

"It's okay, let's go to the county first." Lu Su waved his hand, "Chu'an County is well-defended. There are still more than ten miles away from the county, and the county soldiers have already checked."

"Isn't this the little lady's fief? Last time she was messed up by Mrs. Zhu, so it should be more strict." Sun Quan smiled, but his eyes darkened.

He knew about Zhu's incident and Zhu Shao's instigating the barbarians.

Because Zhou Yu didn't hide it from him.

On the contrary, Zhou Yu told him that since his eldest brother was the Marquis of Wu awarded by the imperial court, the rebellious general, and responsible for the charge on the battlefield, then he, Sun Quan, should be responsible for ensuring logistics and people's livelihood.

The benefits of Chu paper make those who see it jealous, even now... that Zhang Zhi and others can make a lot of money.

Therefore, he felt that Zhou Yu was right.

Anything is good as long as it is beneficial to their Jiangdong's development.

He wanted to come to Jingzhou this time, and he also wanted to see with his own eyes where the prosperity of Jingzhou was.

Lu Su didn't know this, but just took people to continue to drive to the county.

When they got to the gate of the county seat, there was another interrogation. Then, the county soldiers told them, "Don't wander around after entering the county seat. If you want to buy some Chu paper and books for sale, you should give up this idea as soon as possible."

Lu Su nodded with a smile, then took a dime of silver from his sleeve, and stuffed it secretly, "Little brother, can you tell me? My two brothers are from Changsha County, and I don't know much about the rules of our county. .”

"Chu paper and books, the lady has been entrusted to the agents of the major families. If you two want to sell these two things, you need to talk to the aristocratic families who have the agent power." I got up, "But Chu'an County is the fiefdom of Lord Chu'an, and the business that can be done is not only Chu paper."

"Please let me know, little brother." Lu Su listened carefully.

"Businesses such as cloth, dried fruit, dried meat, and salt can all be considered. Of course, the hottest business in the county right now is the loom business."

"sewing machine?"

"That's right, the lady's elder brother has improved the original loom, and now it's going to be sold outside. It's not expensive. A loom only costs [-] yuan."

"Thank you." Lu Su nodded, and then saw the county soldier checking the luggage of their convoy and said to the county soldier just now, "They can take at most one carriage into the city, and the rest must stay outside the city. "

"Why?" Beside, Sun Quan couldn't help asking.

"The county town is narrow, and there have been many merchants coming to the county to do business in the past two years. If there are no restrictions, conflicts will easily arise."

Lu Su smiled, then nodded, "Since that's the case, the carriages and horses I'm waiting for are left outside the city...what should we do?"

"See the gentleman writing on the left?"

"I saw it."

"That's the gentleman at the depository office of Xinghan Commercial Bank. Go to him, pay the deposit and the corresponding fees, and the carriages, horses and luggage can be left outside the city. There will be special guards, and he will issue a document for you. You can just go outside the city gate to pick up the horses and luggage with the documents."

"What if I lose the carriage?" Sun Quan frowned.

"Hey, you young man, you have a quick temper." The county soldier laughed, "According to the items recorded in the document, you will be compensated according to the price."

Lu Su then nodded. This method can really alleviate the problem of too many vehicles and horses flooding into the county, "Thank you."

"Brother is going to deposit it?"

"Naturally." Lu Su looked at their several carriages and nodded.

Soon, I got the deposited documents. Seeing the strange symbols and seals on it, I squinted my eyes. This is... quite strange, even if I want to counterfeit it, it seems difficult.

"Let's go into town."

After seeing the situation in the city, I found that there was a lot of people, the streets were clean, and there were signs for different streets.

Faintly, they could still hear the discussion of the people here.

"Hey, have you heard that at the Lantern Festival at Nujun Village on the first night of the first lunar month, there was a handsome and handsome man who was good at archery! Several families are chasing after him to marry their daughters to him!"

"That's nothing new! The Lantern Festival has been going on for more than ten days now, and I heard that the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day is even more interesting! It's the long lantern, and it's going to dance all the way into the county town!"

"Ah? When is the news?"

"It was released together with the Lantern Festival, you definitely didn't hear it all!"

"Hey... that notice is written in dense words, and the little old man can't read!"

"Hahaha!"

Lu Su listened intently for a while, also curious, but he didn't stop walking.

The side where they entered the city was the direction of the west city. Occasionally, common people could be seen carrying farm tools to the outside of the city.

Going further in, I saw the market.

There are not many customers in the shops on both sides, but there are also so many in twos and threes.

So, Lu Su asked people to ask about the loom, of course, it was a cloth shop.

Not long after, I got the news that if you want to buy a loom, the store owner can help guide you, but the store owner needs to extract a certain amount of hard work from it.

Lu Su narrowed his eyes. In Chu'an County, the status of businessmen is not low.

But when I think about it, yes, these things in Chu'an County are in high demand outside, and it's normal for the merchants here to make some money from them.

"Go and ask if you want to sell Chu paper?"

"promise."

Not long after, the servants reported back, "In Jingzhou, middle-grade Chu paper is five renminbi, and high-grade paper is ten renminbi. This is the price in any shop, but if you want to buy something lower than this price... I'm afraid it won't work. "

Comparing the two, Lu Su immediately understood that the lady was probably behind the loom.

Otherwise, these shops in the county would not be so helpful.

"Let's find a guest house first."

"promise."

Sun Quan looked at Lu Su, "Brother, I'll go to the cloth shop and ask. If possible, I'll go and see what the loom looks like."

"Alright." Lu Su nodded.

Since they came to Chu'an, they had to bring something back.

If this loom is really better than the traditional one, then it will be profitable to bring it back, and there is no need to worry about the aristocratic family who did not buy it.

In this way, their identities... can be better concealed.

Afterwards, Lu Su took someone to find a guest house, and sent someone to inform Sun Quan, and he settled down temporarily.

An hour later, Sun Quan arrived at the guest house to meet Lu Su.

"This Chu'an County is not easy." Sun Quan looked serious.

"Oh?"

"I went to the cloth store and said I wanted to buy a loom, and the manager asked me how much I wanted to buy, and I replied that the more the better."

Lu Su nodded, "And then?"

"Then, the shopkeeper suddenly laughed and said, if that's the case, I'm afraid we'll have to wait in line."

"queue?"

"Yes, I heard that the first time the loom was shown in front of outsiders was on the last day of last year, and it has attracted many orders from wealthy households in the city."

Lu Su nodded, "I see."

"Yes, I said, at least a hundred."

Lu Su shook his bearded hand, 300 yuan per plane, [-] planes is [-] million yuan... They didn't bring so much money when they came out this time!
After all, Sun Quan is young, he hasn't lived a hard life, and he doesn't have enough concept of money!
"The shopkeeper simply answered that if he really wanted a hundred frames, he would only charge half of his hard work."

"So..." Lu Su frowned.

"So, I really placed an order for a hundred." Sun Quan nodded seriously.

Lu Su: Originally... I really wanted to keep a low profile, but why, you son of a bitch won't give me a chance!
