My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 40: I will give you all the money I make from now on
"Madam, I have picked out all the mussels as you said." He Qiuniang came over with a bucket and showed Jiang Tangtang the clam shells in the bucket.

Not a lot, but more than 20.

Jiang Tangtang nodded with satisfaction, "Put it up!"

He Qiuniang couldn't help but said: "Madam, don't you open these river clams and take a look?"

"I'm tired today, so I won't open it until I get up tomorrow morning." Jiang Tangtang had seen people open clams to get pearls before, and he knew how to open river clams without dying.

But she had only seen it and had not operated it herself. She did not want to take the risk of killing these river mussels.

She had to find time to put the river mussels into the space to raise them.

This opportunity is not difficult for Jiang Tangtang.

Jiang Tangtang woke up before dawn the next morning and planned to go out with a bucket to show off, but as soon as he moved, Lu Shiyan followed him.

Jiang Tangtang blinked and said in confusion: "Why are you following me? It's convenient for me."

Lu Shiyan glanced at the bucket in her hand, obviously not believing it.Jiang Tangtang explained in a low voice: "These river mussels look the same as the river mussels that opened pearls yesterday. I suspect there are pearls in them. I will find a place where no one is around to open the river mussels after I go to the convenience, so as not to worry about others opening pearls." I'm jealous."

After saying that, she patted her chest again and said, "Don't worry, if a pearl comes out, I won't keep it to myself."

Lu Shiyan wanted to follow because he was worried about his safety. He didn't care whether she would swallow the pearl alone, but he didn't explain much and just said: "Don't go too far."

Jiang Tangtang waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I'm in the woods over there. By the way, help me bring back a few more buckets of water, steam the rice, and ask Aunt He and Aunt Hu to help cut the vegetables, and wait. I cook."

With that said, Jiang Tangtang ran away with the bucket.

When they reached a deserted place, Jiang Tangtang quickly threw the clam into the space and took out eight pearls from the space.

As a jewelry designer, she naturally stocked up on various raw materials for making jewelry.

These pearls were bought by her at a pearl breeding place when she was on a business trip.

Because they were small and they were cultured pearls, they were not expensive. She bought two to three hundred of them at one go.

Jiang Tangtang took the pearls back and handed four to Lu Shiyan, "A total of eight pearls were opened, and each of us has half."

"Just take it yourself!" Lu Shiyan lowered his eyes and glanced at the pearl she handed over, but did not take it.

Jiang Tangtang frowned in confusion, "You don't want it?"

Could it be that she thought she was underpaid?

still is……

"You don't suspect that I hid some, right?" Jiang Tangtang pouted unhappily: "I tell you, not every river mussel can produce pearls. Today, eight of them were produced. It’s already incredible luck.”

"I didn't doubt you!" Lu Shiyan patiently explained: "You keep the money you make, and I will give it to you every time I make money in the future!"

Jiang Tangtang raised his eyebrows in surprise, took the pearl back, and asked with interest: "Give me whatever you make?"

Lu Shiyan nodded and said, "I'll give it all to you."

It has to be said that Jiang Tangtang was pleased by his words.

Although she has the ability to make money herself, who would think that she has too much money!Of course, she didn't take his words too seriously.Who can say clearly what will happen next!
*
Since she had planned to cultivate pearls, Jiang Tangtang would visit every river and lake she saw during the rest of the trip, and took He Qiuniang and others to look for spinnaker clams.

Every time I find a spinnaker clam, I try to sneak it into the space.

By the time she arrived at Dageng City, she had already accumulated more than 200 spinnaker clams in her space.At this time, they were also told that they were only ten days away from Yazhou.

Liang Jiamin took Jiang Tangtang to the city with him this time, mainly to ask Jiang Tangtang to take him to identify the spices for buying braised pork.

In this era, spices such as star anise, amomum villosum, and cloves were not widely used and could only be bought in drug stores.

Jiang Tangtang took Liang Jiamin to several shops before buying all the spices he needed.

After buying all the spices, Jiang Tangtang planned to buy a carriage and some things for the road.

Although there are only ten days to go, we have already finished eating rice, flour, oil and food, and we have to buy these again.

Today Lu Shiyan also followed her into the city and stayed with her every step of the way. It was not convenient for Jiang Tangtang to take things from the space, so he could only spend real money to buy them in the market.

Liang Jiamin said: "If you want to pull things, I suggest you buy an ox cart. The ox cart is more practical for you."

Jiang Tangtang humbly asked for advice: "Master Liang, please make it clear."

Liang Jiamin said: "Do you know where you were assigned when you went to Yazhou this time?"

Jiang Tangtang shook his head.

"When you go to Yazhou this time, [-]% of you will be assigned to Guanzhuang." Then Liang Jiamin explained to her what Guanzhuang is.

To put it simply, Guanzhuang is equivalent to a farm, but compared to ordinary farms, Guanzhuang is larger and belongs to the imperial court.

In addition to serving in the military, the prisoners assigned to Zhuangzi were also asked to farm.

Although it is bitter, it is much better than being rewarded as a slave to a local official.

At least in Guanzhuang, apart from not being able to leave freely, other times they are just like ordinary farmers, as long as they turn in the grain on time every year.

Since we want to farm, cattle are definitely more practical than horses.

Moreover, it was too ostentatious for an exiled prisoner to ride a horse to Guanzhuang.

After Liang Jiamin pointed it out, Jiang Tangtang reacted and hurriedly thanked Liang Jiamin, "Thank you for your advice. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost committed a taboo."

"Mrs. Lu, you're welcome! I believe that with the shrewdness and ability of your couple, even if I don't tell you, you will quickly react and come up with a solution."

Liang Jiamin's attitude was very humble. After giving them some advice, he pointed out the pawn shop and the location where they could buy livestock. Just like last time, they made an appointment to meet at the city gate.

After separating from Guan Cha, Jiang Tangtang took the pearl to the pawn shop.

Pearls that are very cheap in modern times were not cheap in ancient times.Jiang Tangtang took a few slightly flawed pearls and exchanged them for more than 300 taels of silver.

Thinking about the pearl clams he collected along the way, Jiang Tangtang was in a good mood.It seems that she is on the right track with artificially cultured pearls.

In a good mood and with plenty of time, Jiang Tangtang said to Lu Shiyan: "There seems to be a medical clinic in front. Let's take a look at your leg!"

Lu Shiyan's other injuries were almost healed, but the injury on his leg never healed, and he was slightly lame when walking.

Jiang Tangtang felt it was a pity that such a handsome guy became a cripple.Both emotion and reason should be treated.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shiyan said: "No need to waste money, let's go and buy a bullock cart."
