Chapter 233 Merchant

The people from the Feng family went south with the Su family before, but they didn't live together.

They also have some industries in the south.

"No, although my grandfather and the others came back a few months ago, they always communicated well at home. We just moved and have so many things to do. I'll just go back later."

"Then you can watch for yourself, you don't have to be so taboo, you can go back if you want to go back to your mother's house." Then, Su Nancheng looked at Shen Yingniang: "What about you, have you ever returned to your mother's house?"

"Young master, I'm back. It's the young lady's arrangement, and I've been staying at home for a few days. My parents and elder brother are all well, so I wish you well." Although Shen Yingniang could act like a spoiled child, she never acted like a spoiled child in front of Mr. Feng Zhu. , special rules.

"That's good. As for Dongmei, I guess I've seen your brother these days, right? You are a poor girl without a family. When you come back to our house, you're going home." Su Nancheng laughed.

Dongmei smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, brother is doing well in the south. Thank you for your concern, young master."

"Okay, you're all busy with your own work, and you all go to see your own residence. I'll go to the front yard first, and I have a lot of things to do. In the evening, we will have a family dinner in the main courtyard." Su Nancheng got up.

The three sent her away and separated.

There are things, Wei Suliang came back yesterday.After a night of rest, he should have slept well.

He was called to the Su Mansion, and after paying his respects, he looked excited: "Your Excellency, I don't know, life in the Western Regions is not easy. This year, because of the war between the Beiyi people and Dayuan, they have a shortage of many things. The things we brought It’s okay to talk about other things, tea is a life-saving thing.”

"Just tea leaves, this time I made a lot of money. This is the account book, please take a look at it." As he spoke, he handed over an account book.

Of course, Wei Suliang was not the only one accompanying him, since it was the court's caravan, first of all it was the court's people and goods.

The ones in the middle belonged to Su Nancheng, not just his.

It has always been like this. The court caravans are escorted by special personnel, but at the same time, there are private businessmen who want to accompany them, and no one stops them.The imperial caravan has a special escort team.

Private businessmen can also bring some guards with them.

The treasury was empty, and the emperor was anxious to get money, so as soon as Su Nancheng asked for an order, the emperor agreed.

This kind of thing is not big, and no one is stopping it.

When Wei Suliang went out, he mainly brought Su Nancheng's goods, and he could bring whatever he wanted.

He made a lot of money for a trip.

Of course, there are also risks. This kind of long-distance delivery of goods can cause any danger.However, if you seek wealth and insurance, how can you make money otherwise?

Su Nancheng briefly looked at the account book and nodded: "Very good. How is the journey? Is it going well?"

"Back to my lord, other places are fine. I passed Liaocheng and Jinzhou on the way. These two places are really messy. Especially the junction of Jinzhou, Liaocheng and Ganyang Mansion. Bandits and robbers are rampant. But we have officers and soldiers here. Nothing happened to the guards sent by the adults. They were fine when they came back, and they knew what was going on."

"You went all the way to the northwest, how is the situation?" Su Nancheng asked.

"Well, it's really not good. The drought in the northwest is terrible. The old farmer said that the wells can't get any water. Most of the crops in the field are dry. It all depends on the big river. But the two consecutive years of severe drought, the big river can't support it. Live. It's getting trickier. I just hope that it will be better next year." Wei Suliang said.

Su Nancheng nodded: "It would be great if I could go to sea. I think it will be easier to do business at sea in the south."

"This...in the past few decades, no one has gone to sea." It was also there before, but then there was civil strife in Fusang at sea, and people in their country became pirates if they couldn't survive.

The noisy surroundings are restless.Otherwise, there is no need to garrison the general and others heavily.

It is to disperse and prevent Japanese pirates.

"It is precisely because no one has gone to sea in the past few decades that we have to go to sea. But there is no rush, and we need to plan carefully." You can't chew more than you can chew.

"You should rest first. The next trip will be at the end of September. You won't be able to come back this winter. My goods will also be arranged. You can just transport them away when the time comes. Go home and be with your family." Su Nancheng said.

"Yes, my lord. The villain is planning to move his family to the capital, so as not to cause inconvenience in the future."

"Oh? If that's the case, I have an empty house for you to use. It's just not too big, I wonder if you would like it?" Su Nancheng has several houses in his hand, choose a two-entry house and give it to him.

"How dare a villain want an adult's house, it's really not dare."

"You don't have to be polite, just accept it. In the future, you will be indispensable when you do things for me. You and I still have a long friendship. I was in Luancheng that day to help the people, so I offended you. This moment is different from that moment , now that you and I are partners in cooperation, we naturally want mutual benefit." Su Nancheng said.

partner?

Wei Suliang was a little surprised by this word.He is a businessman, and has always been looked down upon.Even if you have a lot of money, you will never be able to compare with those scholars.

Not to mention an official partner with him.

He had been in Luancheng for many years, and he knew very well what the local officials were like.

Now that I work with Mr. Su, I just go to the Western Regions, so I know it's different.

I thought that half of the money earned from my goods would be handed over to Mr. Su, and it would be good if I could keep half.

Unexpectedly, the adults didn't ask these questions at all.

He is really moved by giving himself a house now.

Immediately knelt down and thanked Su Nancheng, and then accepted.

Sugar making is not difficult after all, Cheng Ming has already done a lot,
Su Nancheng planned to set a high price from the beginning.Someone will definitely follow suit in the future, so let's make a lot of money first.

Two kinds of sugar, one loose, not snow white, but yellowish icing.

One is brown sugar, which is specially made into pieces.

If there are only two candies per tael, they will be sold as one tael.

The pricing is one tael of sugar and five taels of silver, which is ten yuan.

Scattered sugar is one or six taels of silver.

This kind of thing must be affordable by the nobles at the beginning, but it is not consumed.

Nowadays, people like sugar when they see it, and if they put it in their snacks, it will not last long.

When they get used to using this thing, there will be a steady stream of sales in the future.Today's world is not peaceful, and there are not many people who dare to go to the Western Regions.

On the contrary, it can make a lot of money.

Su Nancheng sorted out his thoughts in the study, and sent someone to find Ma Qingyu.

Naturally, members of the Luo family did not dare to go to Beijing, but Ma Qingyu came to Beijing with Wei Suliang this time, just to see him.

They are all living in Xinyang now, and now they are sent to protect the caravan.It is also hard work to run from Xinyang, a place in the northeast, to the northwest.

I haven't seen Su Nancheng for several years. Since they are raised by Su Nancheng and they recognize Su Nancheng as the master, they can't see each other often.

That's why Baba came here. After all, his surname is not Luo, and it has been several years. People in the capital will not pay attention to him.

　I want to say something, but I don't know what to say, so I wish everyone an early year.Happy Year of the Dragon.
