Lin Jiabiyu

The days are slipping by fast, January is coming to an end, and the excitement of the Spring Festival is gradually fading away.In February, Mrs. Liu had almost counted Lin Wan's dowry.Lin Wan was also so busy that she didn't have time to go out, so she first told Hu Wanda about the situation in the north, and carefully discussed what business she wanted to do.Then he asked Zhou Ming to pass on the message to Lu Junzhao, met with Zhu Qi several times, and asked about the situation in the north.

"There are two mine veins in Hengcheng in the north, and there is a large grassland pasture in the north, which is rich in horses. The place bordering Beiyan is very rich in medicinal materials." Zhu Qi talked about the situation in the north, and when he said the medicinal materials, he paused. She smiled shyly, "To tell you the truth, the small businesses in the north of the girl have also noticed it before. Several shopkeepers in the north also received medicinal materials for a year, but the things they received were uneven, and the sales volume was not very good. , and the price was also kept low. This business lost money, and I didn’t do much afterwards.”

Lin Wan raised her eyebrows, but said nothing, and signaled Zhu Qi to continue.

"In the past few years, there have been a lot of merchants in the north, and there have been more merchants in the south, and a lot of things have come. It's just that the journey is long and the road is not very peaceful, so the things shipped are expensive. The business of the Lu family in the north is Shopkeeper Lu is in charge, and Shopkeeper Lu is directly under the command of the prince. There are twenty or thirty shopkeepers under Master Lu, all of whom are in charge of the properties of the Lu family, including horses, money, food, and medicinal materials. The Lord also has several private properties in the north. , are under the management of the younger one, a racecourse, and three Zhuangzi. In addition, the master also has several Zhuangzi and restaurants in the south, and the younger one also has a few Yanyin under his hands."

Lin Wan paused with her fingers tapping on the table, and asked Zhu Qi in surprise, "South? He still has Zhuangzi in the south?"

Zhu Qi laughed twice.Coughing: "Miss also knows that when I was a child, I stayed in the south for several years, and there were a few people there. It is timely to send us a message occasionally, but... hehe, I am not very well-informed in business."

"The south is prosperous and rich in supplies. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are exquisite and beautiful. People there have a lot of fun, you have to find out the news. Are there only a few restaurants?" Lin Wan smiled while holding tea. Looking at Zhu Qi, he asked in an unhurried voice.

Zhu Qi touched his nose, and hesitated a little awkwardly: "Not all restaurants, there are a few more, um, that is. Brothels..." Zhu Qi said while looking at Lin Wan's face.

Lin Wan was so startled that she almost spit out a mouthful of tea, choked on a mouthful of water, and hurriedly put the teacup away, coughing and laughing: "The brothel? Your master agreed?"

"Well, the business matters are suggested by the younger ones, and the master doesn't take much care of them." Zhu Qi stood up straight.Seriously, he emphasized, "My lord has never been in charge of the brothel."

"Can someone go to your brothel?" Lin Wan was amused and curious.Follow up and ask.

When Zhu Qi heard this, his head drooped gradually, and he sighed with a mournful face: "It's just that there are not many guests, and the ones who should come don't come, and the young ones are stupid, and they spend money in them every year, but it doesn't get much effect."

"Forget it. There are probably not many of you." Lin Wan was silent for a moment, then laughed jokingly. "It's difficult for them to inquire about news and do business at the same time."

Zhu Qi smiled uncomfortably, and asked tentatively: "I've been taking care of my private property for so many years, but I haven't seen any progress. It's better for the girl to take care of my master."

"Why do I care about his private property?" Lin Wan gave Zhu Qi a funny sideways look, "Girl, I don't have that kind of skill. I think you are doing well."

"The north..."

"This matter is not urgent. If there is a chance, it would be better to take a trip to the north." Lin Wan smiled softly, and interrupted Zhu Qi calmly with a cup of tea. "I do know two people in the south. If you are free later, you can let the shopkeepers in the south meet each other. You can count them as acquaintances. If there is anything in the future, maybe I can help you a little bit."

Zhu Qi's eyes lit up for a moment, waiting for Lin Wan's next words.

"One is the treasurer Min of Huiran Bank, and the other is the nurse in charge of Qingyuelou, called Liu Niang."

Zhu Qi's mind was buzzing, and he stared at Lin Wan with his eyes wide open, with a surprised and pleasant expression on his face, dancing with his hands and feet, not knowing what to do.

Huiran Bank is not the number one among the banks in the south, but it has the best reputation, and the merchants it deals with are all the best in all walks of life.Shopkeeper Min is kind and doesn't talk much, but he is highly respected.Qingyue Tower is a prestigious brothel in the Qinhuai area, and the dandies from various families in the south often go there, and occasionally big fish come in and out. Liu Niang's name is also known in the Fengyue Field in the south.

If you can establish friendship with these two people and inquire about things, it will be twice the result with half the effort!

Zhu Qi swallowed in disbelief, he thought it was inconceivable that the girl in front had transported so much grain from the south, but now it seems that it is not surprising that there is Huiran Bank supporting it... The girl's subordinates must be more than that industry.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qi hurriedly nodded, answered "yes" several times hastily, and then backed out with a grin on his face.

As soon as Zhu Qi left on his front foot, Liao Zhongwen came on his back foot.

Lin Wan smiled and let Liao Zhongwen sit down, and gave a general account of the situation in Hengcheng under the Lu family's rule.

"The south side has already made two trips to the sea last year, and it is very profitable. The business in the north is also easy to do. If Liancheng can be included, it will be a natural port, and you can go directly to the sea in the future."

Liao Zhongwen thought about it for a moment, frowned and explained hesitantly: "There are many tourist merchants in Hengcheng. First, they run from both north and south, and the capital is not enough. Second, the merchants in the north form their own system, and it is not easy for outsiders to squeeze in It's easy. We also took a shortcut back then, going directly to Beiyan, and doing food and medicinal materials business from both sides of the north and south. If you go to Hengcheng, the girl must be prepared, and I'm afraid you won't be able to do much in three to five years. "

"If there are Lu family members in town," Liao Zhongwen paused at this point, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled softly. "It's much more convenient for the girl to do what she wants to do. But the Lu family still has a big manager in Hengcheng. The business under it is complicated and there are a lot of people. If our business conflicts with the Lu family's, those Lu family members will The steward may not be very happy about it."

"Well, you are really worried." Lin Wan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, we don't have to compete with the Lu family for business now, let's do other things first!" Lin Wan's eyes beamed with a smile Bright and brilliant, "Let's sell things first! We'll ship them from Liancheng! Just in March, a sea ship is coming back. Shopkeeper Min sent a letter saying that he got a lot of good things."

"Send a letter to our storekeepers in the north, and let the two go to Liancheng and Hengcheng first. Tell storekeeper Li and storekeeper Mi that our business will grow in Hengcheng in the future. In the past two years Get ready and get ready."

Liao Zhongwen's eyes flickered slightly, then he smiled and cupped his hands in a long bow, nodding in agreement.

"I heard that the wedding date for you and Hu Qian has been set?" Lin Wan asked with a smile after explaining the business.

There was a moment of embarrassment on Liao Zhongwen's face, and then he admitted with a generous smile: "It will be next month, the seventh day of the lunar new year."

The smile in Lin Wan's eyes froze for a moment, and she quickly put away the worry in her eyes, and joked to Liao Zhongwen: "You are almost 25, thanks to the shopkeeper Hu who can keep her daughter for so long! Don't worry, I will take care of you Don't worry, it's better this time, we directly set the date of marriage. Later, I will also ask for a wedding drink!"

Liao Zhongwen quickly thanked with a smile, and then backed out.

Lin Wan watched Liao Zhongwen's back gradually drifting away, the smile on his face dissipated little by little, his eyes were covered with a layer of worry, and it took a long time before he frowned and sighed long.Hu Wanda is arranging the way out. The Hu family only has two daughters and a youngest son who is less than ten years old. He wants to get married to the eldest daughter before he goes to the north... If there is something, Lin Wan shook his head violently, nothing will happen!Lu Junzhao complied with her.The Yuanjiang generation also traveled quite a few times. They already had business there. As long as they were careful, they would be fine before the Eighth Part of the Grassland fought against the Beiyan garrison.

When Zhu Qi stepped on the floating clouds and returned to the Xining Palace to answer, he heard from Changshou that Lu Junzhao went to the small courtyard on Chang'an Avenue to look for Xu Luwen.

Zhu Qi hurried to the small courtyard on Chang'an Street again, before he stepped through the door, he happened to bump into Xu Luwen who was walking out, and was dragged by Xu Luwen's sleeve.

"Are you looking for the general? He just returned to the palace. Did you go to the little girl's place?" Xu Luwen smiled mischievously, his face full of excitement and curiosity, "I remember you are in charge of the general's private property, and the little girl hasn't married yet Are you going to ask these questions?"

Zhu Qi pulled the corner of his mouth and gave Xu Luwen a sideways glance, stretched out his hand to shield Xu Luwen's body, took two steps forward, and looked around.

Xu Luwen turned back, followed up with strange movements, and grabbed Zhu Qi's arm, rolled his eyes, looked at Zhu Qi's face and said with a smile: "I heard the general miss a word before, saying that the little girl is very Can do business. Could it be that she still wants to reach out to Hengcheng?"

"Since when did the military adviser take care of business?" Zhu Qi snorted coldly and shook off Xu Luwen's hand, "Master really left?"

"Let's go!" Xu Luwen stared, and slapped Zhu Qi's shoulder angrily, "How can I be false? Tell me, what did that little girl ask you?"

"Why did the military adviser ask this?" Zhu Qi stared at Xu Luwen suspiciously, and walked around the yard.

Xu Luwen followed Zhu Qi's ass and muttered non-stop: "Hey, the general is really gone... Tell me, how does the general arrange the little girl? I heard that Hu Wanda is the People from the little girl? The properties of the Lu family in the north...hey, slow down..."

Zhu Qi didn't care about Xu Luwen's noise at all, and walked around the yard back and forth, but he really didn't see Lu Junzhao, so he stretched out his hand and pushed Xu Luwen who came forward, and quickly left the courtyard gate.

Xu Luwen narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Qi's back, turned around the door twice with his hands behind his back, the light in his eyes became darker and darker, then he flicked his sleeves, walked out the door quickly, and went all the way to the dilapidated Xu Mansion.
