People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

The next day, Cai Xiaolan went to both shops. When she was in Babaozhai, Dr. Cha reminded her that a woman named Jia Xiaoxiao had been waiting for her in the building.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, I kept you waiting!" Cai Xiaolan poked her head in. She thought that Lu Shiyu would be there, but she only saw Jia Xiaoxiao.

"Xiao Lan, I have come with good news."

"You mean, the caravan to Lingnan is about to start?" Cai Xiaolan's eyes widened.She has been waiting for this news since the beginning of spring.Who knows, wait until March.

"That's right, my father said that the major chambers of commerce have already started to organize caravans. And this time, our family is just about to form a chamber of commerce to go to Lingnan."

The Jia family makes spices. There are a lot of materials that need to be collected from all over the world, and they have close ties with major caravans.Basically every caravan has its own steward.This time, their caravan decided to go to Lingnan Road.

"Thank you so much. I have to pay my uncle a visit in person." Cai Xiaolan was delighted when she heard this. Her thirst for cotton was too deep.Although with her current financial strength, there is no pressure to wear silk clothes.But the owner of a ready-made clothing store has his nose in the sky and will never sell good clothes to ordinary people.

"Come sooner rather than later, then let's go to my father as soon as possible. Leave enough time to prepare things for the trip!" Jia Xiaoxiao suggested.

Although Boss Jia's family failed to settle in Zicheng, it is still an expensive place in the city.The yard doesn't seem big.Only one entrance.

"Xiaolan, go this way!" Jia Xiaoxiao led Cai Xiaolan through a door, but found that the room was different.

Inside there is a huge courtyard.

Gardens, rockeries, pavilions, pavilions are all available.

The servant had already notified Jia Yuqi.Boss Jia is unwilling to refute his daughter's face for trivial matters, not to mention, he is also full of curiosity about Cai Xiaolan.

"Please come to the lobby!"

Cai Xiaolan waited in the front hall for a while before Jia Yuqi arrived.

"Miss Cai has been waiting for a long time! I heard from Xiaoxiao that you are interested in going to Lingnan Road with our motorcade?" Jia Yuqi said straight to the point.

"Indeed." Cai Xiaolan nodded, and took the initiative to talk about her purpose, "Uncle Jia, I want to go to Lingnan Road to buy some cotton."

"Cotton?" Jia Yuqi was very surprised when he heard it, "What's the use of that thing? Besides, it's not easy for you to transport cotton in."

"It's not easy to get in?" Cai Xiaolan asked, she didn't quite understand.Toyogura had said similar things to her last time.

"Since you and my daughter are friends, you are willing to call me uncle. I will not hide it from you. Cotton is a specialty of Lingnan. Most people stuff it into their clothes to keep out the cold. But Lingnan is not cold, so it It is not taken seriously in the local area. The locals are eager for someone to sell, but there is a situation, cotton is a kind of impact on the local fur and silk business, and they are not happy to have cotton flowing in!" Jia Yuqi clarified the key points in a few words .

As for who "they" are here, Cai Xiaolan knows without asking.It must be the chamber of commerce for the fur and silk industries.

"No luck at all?"

Jia Yuqi chuckled, and continued, "Look at your luck, the general guarding the gate has a steelyard in his heart!"

This was so interesting that Cai Xiaolan didn't understand it at once, "One steelyard? Just less than a certain amount?"

"Of course it's a matter of weighing the weight of both parties!"

Whoever gives more will listen to him.

Cai Xiaolan figured out what it meant, and called "good guy" in her heart. She never expected this, and the cost of cotton suddenly increased a lot. "One more thing. The caravans we went to Lingnan Road were all for small and valuable things. Your cotton occupies too much land, and you need more than a dozen large carts. If you have more of them, the entire caravan The cost will increase a lot!"

Businessmen value profits and consider the cost of every move they make.

When Cai Xiaolan heard this, she already understood Jia Yuqi's attitude, and she probably didn't want to take her with her.If you want to, you won't keep saying that it's not good for the caravan.

"Thank you Uncle Jia, I understand. If such a large cost is added, even if the cotton is shipped, ordinary people may not be able to afford it!" Cai Xiaolan was very disappointed.

"That's the truth. You are very considerate of ordinary people, but your strength alone is too weak!" Jia Yuqi told Cai Xiaolan to go home and find the adults in her family.He didn't believe that the two foundations of tofu workshop and Babaozhai could be established with just a female influencer.

Cai Xiaolan went home thoughtfully.

……

Cai Xiaolan thought about it, but she didn't think of any way to get cotton at a low cost.Under such circumstances, she did not dare to start the red mission for the last three months, for fear that "little injustice" would ask her to fight against "them" who disregarded the life and death of the people and wanted to reject cotton.

On this day, when she returned to Tianfu Jucai Residence, she didn't see anyone.The door is locked.

"That's not right, where did the family go?" Cai Xiaolan went to the usual place where the keys were kept, and luckily found the key.

She didn't know that in the governor's office in the city, a dark-skinned man was talking cordially to Li Yunguang.Cui Lu's group was picked up by people sent by the governor and were on their way to the governor's mansion.

"Brother Le, you have suffered!" Cui Lu couldn't stop crying as soon as she saw that upright and vicissitudes of life figure.

When Cui Le heard the voice behind her, she turned her head immediately, and saw the figure of Day and Night Thinking, "Mei Wan, you haven't changed at all!"

"Oh, it's been more than four years, I'm getting old!"

……

Cui Le was an official. After the amnesty, he entered the official post system.Li Yunguang discovered him immediately.In order to give him a surprise, I waited for him at the inn. As soon as I met him, I took him to the Governor's Mansion, saying that I would do anything to help Brother Le.

Four years in Lingnan Road taught Cui Le the warmth and warmth of human nature, and he couldn't help but politely reject Li Yunguang.Unexpectedly, Li Yunguang burst into tears as soon as he said the words.

Cui Le had no choice but to stay with his wife and younger brother Lu Yong.

While arranging the meal, Li Yunguang sent someone to invite Cui Lushi, and this was the scene just now.

How the couple can deeply reminisce about their old relationship is not something that can be said and done in broad daylight.

A banquet to catch the wind and wash away the dust is exquisite.Before eating, there was a set of procedures. Li Yunguang specially asked someone to go to Daming Temple to get the clean water enshrined in front of the Buddha to wet his hands. He also invited two monks to recite a mantra around Cui Le and Lu Yong.

After the ceremony, the light meal began.

……

Inspector Li sent a carriage to take Cui's family home.

"Let's go, sister Wan, let's go home!" Cui Le invited Cui Lushi to get into the car, his eyes were fixed on his wife all the time, as for the one big and two young people following behind, they were all regarded as air. (end of this chapter)
