The Wife I Picked Up Turned out to Be a Relic of the Tang Dynasty

Sure enough, in this era, even aristocrats can't often eat mutton!

However, the price of mutton has risen again, which is traceable. After all, Tuyuhun and Datang are about to fight, and then Tubo may join in. In this way, Tuyuhun and Tubo will no longer pay tribute to Datang for cattle and sheep. Moreover, there will be fewer and fewer sheep traders, or even none. If there is a problem with the supply side, the price will naturally increase. Moreover, some big sheep pen owners in Chang'an City will deliberately suppress the sheep and not sell them. , and wait until the market price is raised before making a move.

Lin Ye found a small sheep pen owner that he knew earlier, and learned about the situation. The little sheep pen owner was named Wang Zhang: Yang, whom Lin Ye met by accident.

But when Lin Ye approached him, he found his face full of sadness. When he asked, he realized that there was a problem with Wang Zhang: Yang's supply of goods. Previously, he directly purchased Tuyuhun lamb, and then made it himself. After raising it for a period of time, it will be sold to mutton vendors, but recently, the supply of goods in Tuyuhun has been completely cut off, not to mention lambs, even adult sheep can’t be bought.

Although the price of mutton in Chang'an City will continue to soar, but his sheep pen is too small and he raises too few sheep, it is difficult to get a share of it. In the end, it is estimated that the Cui family can make a lot of money from it. With the Lu family,

Cui Wenbin of the Cui family and Lu Shijie of the Lu family are the largest sheep pen owners in Chang'an City. Of course, apart from Li Er, Li Er's sheep pen is naturally much bigger than theirs!

Cui Wenbin is from the Cui clan of Qinghe, and Lu Shijie is from the Fanyang Lu clan. People can be said to be of different races with the same surname. When they report their families, they will also clearly state their surname and clan lineage.

Lin Ye then said to Wang Zhang: Yang, "I have a large number of sheep in my sheepfold, and I can sell them to you at the original price."

Wang Zhang: Yang was surprised and said, "When did you make a sheepfold?"

He could not have imagined that Lin Ye, the landowner and vegetable vendor, would actually come to the mutton business on the Kai ship, "If you have sheep, are you really willing to sell it to me right now?" Most sheep pen owners are holding down their sheep and not selling them, waiting for the mutton to soar.

However, Lin Ye believes that as long as the sheep in his hands are supplied, the price of mutton in the East and West markets will soon drop back to the original price.

By doing this, he can also be regarded as stabilizing the price of mutton for Chang'an City, doing a good thing for the people's livelihood, and at the same time accumulating merit for himself, so that next time Li Qingshuang can be pregnant with twins, or twins, three Twins are also possible, he can afford them anyway!

Moreover, the [-] sheep were originally earned by him for nothing, and he would not lose money at any price!

"I came to you on my own initiative, and naturally 497 is willing to sell it to you!" Lin Ye said, "But I have three conditions—' But before Lin Ye finished speaking, Wang Zhang: Yang said in a hurry,

"Any conditions are fine. How many sheep do you have, sell them all to me, and I want them all!"

"You want it all?" The corner of Lin Ye's mouth rose slightly, "Can you eat so much?"

"Oh?" Wang Zhang: raised his brows slightly, "Could it be that your kid has hundreds of sheep?"

Hundreds of heads? What a joke, Lin Ye has more than [-] heads!

But such a terrifying figure, if you say it, Wang Zhang: Yang will not believe it, so let's talk about the conditions first.

"Don't worry, you should listen to my conditions first," Lin Ye said. "Okay, you talk about it, I will listen carefully." Wang Zhang: Yang hurriedly said, "The first condition, after you buy my sheep, It is not allowed to press the position and not sell. The second condition is that

, all the sheepskins have to be recycled to me at last,"

"The third condition is that you have to help me find more sheepfold owners to buy my sheep,"

Wang Zhang: Yang thinks that if Lin Ye really has sheep to sell to him, let him sell the sheep to a mutton vendor to make a profit. It is understandable to agree to the first two conditions, but he doesn't really think about the third condition. , and let other sheeppen owners share Lin Ye's supply! .

Chapter 143: This appearance is grand

Lin Ye had [-] sheep in his hands. If he wanted to make a move, he would naturally have to find a sheep owner like Wang Zhang:Yang. In this kind of transaction, Wang Zhang:Yang played the role of Distributors of the future.

As for why Lin Ye recycles sheepskins, it is because his [-] sheep are all high-quality black Tibetan sheep, and the fur on their bodies can be made into very good black fur coats. You know, the Tang Dynasty did not have cotton. In winter, this black fur coat will be an excellent warm garment.

Moreover, at this time, the owners of the sheepfolds were all short of sheep, and they would not refuse Lin Ye's request to recycle the sheepskins.

begging.

However, Lin Ye could see that Wang Zhang: Yang didn't seem willing to introduce his big source of goods to other sheep croupiers, so Lin Ye took a tough attitude, "Brother Wang, if you can't introduce me to more If you are the owner of the sheepfold, then my sheep will not be sold to you, you can figure it out for yourself."

Wang Zhang: Yang saw that Lin Ye said what he said so decisively, so he could only agree, and he was also afraid that if he annoyed Lin Ye, Lin Ye would turn his head and talk to other sheepfold owners.

"I'll come back to you later that night, go and talk to the other sheepfold owners, but you have to tell them

Know my two conditions,"

Lin Ye said, "If you don't agree, don't come and talk to me about this business!"

"Okay, okay, Brother Lin, I'll go right now!"

In an instant, Wang Zhang: When Yang was talking in front of Lin Ye, his stature became a little shorter. After all, in the current market situation, whoever owns more sheep is the uncle!

Wang Zhang: Yang, we soon found five sheepfold owners, waiting for Lin Ye at the appointed place.

But these five sheep pens owners were dubious. When they came over, they kept asking Wang Zhang: Yang, "Brother Wang, don't make fun of us, your friend really has a large number of sheep in his hands?"

"Why do the more I think about it, the more I feel that this is so wrong? If you really have the supply, why would you be so kind and call us?"

"Brother Wang, I'm the first to tell the ugly story. If you play tricks on us, you have to invite us to a big meal!"

In fact, Wang Zhang: Yang had no idea in his heart. He just listened to what Lin Ye said. After all, he had never seen Lin Ye's sheepfold with his own eyes.

They waited for a while, and Lin Ye finally came. Four horse-drawn carts stopped in front of Wang Zhang:yang and others. Lin Ye leaned out from the front of the horse-drawn cart and shouted, "People Come here? Come and get in the car!"

Wang Zhang: Yang and other six sheep pens owners were shocked when they saw Lin Ye’s appearance. Four horse-drawn carts suddenly drove up, and one car was so extravagant that it used four jujube red horses with tall heads. Pull, even if it is a royal family traveling, there is rarely such a pomp!

However, it was Lin Ye's pomp and circumstance that made them the six sheep pens owners.

, I have confidence in Lin Ye, think about it, if Lin Ye came in a donkey cart, so humbly, those sheep pen owners might turn around and leave, so business, from ancient times to now, is still pompous. very important!

Moreover, those sheep pen owners also felt that they were highly respected by Lin Ye. After all, it was the first time they had enjoyed this kind of treatment. How could they have ridden in a horse-drawn carriage before!

It happened that there were six of them, leaving them three empty cars, so they got into one in twos.

The four horse-drawn carts drove out of Chang'an City, and after driving for a while on the outskirts trail, they finally arrived. After Lin Ye's big sheep pen, the six sheep pen owners got off the horse and were immediately caught by the people in front of them. The scene was terrifying, and looking at the past, it was full of sheep. Roughly, there were at least [-] sheep!

It was the first time they had seen such a large sheepfold, and there were forty servants taking care of the sheepfold, and there were twenty others in dark blue robes, black cloaks, and a strange stick in their hands. The people with the weapons are patrolling. It can be seen that there are so many people in this sheepfold, and they have prepared sufficient defensive words. If someone comes to steal the sheep, they will definitely be chased by those with strange stick-shaped weapons.

Let's fight, but they don't understand why those guards with stick-like weapons have to wear a black cloak behind them?

Wouldn't it be faster to run like this?

Of course, these six sheeppen owners did not know that the black cape musketeer was not holding a melee cold weapon, but a hot weapon capable of long-range shooting!

Therefore, these black cape musketeers don't need to run fast at all, as long as they have a good head!

After seeing Lin Ye's sheep, the six sheep pen owners knew that they were black Tibetan sheep from Tuyuhun. The meat was very delicious and could be sold for a good price.

However, they didn't know how Lin Ye managed to get more than [-] sheep from Tuyuhun under such a situation.

However, they did not dare to ask in detail, for fear of asking too much, Lin Ye would not sell the sheep to them if he was upset.

In the end, these six sheep pen owners all used the "Flying Money" from the West Market Cabinet. From Lin Ye's place, each bought [-] sheep. , Lin Ye didn't take advantage of the rising market price to raise the price, each sheep was only sold for [-] yuan at a par,

Of course, this price is actually not cheap. Fourteen taels are equivalent to fourteen taels!

In addition, Lin Ye also asked them to sign two guarantees. First, after the sheep were bought back, they were not allowed to hold their positions and not sell them. Second, they had to recycle all the sheepskins for Lin Ye.

(Manuo Zhao) The six sheepfold owners also readily agreed to sign these two guarantees, and hoped to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with Lin Ye.

On this day, Lin Ye sold a total of [-] sheep and earned a total of [-] hunks.

This is a good income, and it is still a [-]% profit, net profit!

Next, Lin Ye also plans to let the thousand horse-drawn carts go out to solicit business, so he plans to open a large workshop in Chang'an City and rent out his horse-drawn carts, so that he can earn more money. Source, after all, there are still a small number of people who have cars in Chang'an City. Some people still need to hire cars when they need to go out of the city or go to a farther place. Therefore, the business of the workshop must be easy to do, and as long as the price is not set too high. Gao, his horse-drawn cart must be easily rented out, so he doesn't have to worry about the lack of customers! .

Chapter 144: The Queen of Goodness

After Lin Ye finished the mutton trading business, he immediately returned to the West City of Chang'an. He wanted to rent a store in the West City to run his workshop business and rent out his horse cart. It just so happened that there was a shop in the West City. The workshop was going to change hands. Lin Ye took a look. The front yard of the workshop was very big. The front yard alone was enough to hold more than a dozen horse-drawn carts, and it was also equipped with stables. There was also a larger open space in the backyard. , Naturally, such a large workshop, the rent is not cheap, the shop owner is a month's rent of seven dollars when he opens his mouth,

Although Lin Ye is not short of money now, he must not lose money in business. Lin Ye has fought Tuyuhun because of the frequent wars on the border of the Tang Dynasty. Seeing that he is going to be the enemy of Tubo again, Goguryeo is another hidden danger, and the world is afraid. Chaos, business will be difficult to do, these words frightened the shop owner, so, so hard to talk!

In the end, the shop owner was really afraid that no one would take over his store, so he agreed to rent it to Lin Ye at the price of five yuan and eight hundred yuan a month. Although the rent for five yuan and eight hundred yuan a month was not cheap, if If the business is not good, he will still lose money. However, Lin Ye's carriage and driver are both free, and they are all his own troops.

7 Need to pay extra for hiring, so, for Lin Ye, the business of the workshop is a sure-fire way to make a profit.

However, the original lease of this workshop will not expire until the end of the month, so Lin Ye's workshop will not be able to officially open until the beginning of next month. Putting the lady's name in it will definitely make her happy too.

Chang'an City, Ganlu Hall, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, these "Three Musketeers" were invited to Ganlu by Li Er again

Hall, however, there is no major matter to be adjudicated today, it's just that Li Er wants to chat with them about a foreign matter that seems to have little to do with Datang.

"I don't know, have you received the news," Li Er said leisurely, "Silla's King Zhenping has already been born."

"But King Jinpyeong has no children, so the people of Silla plan to make King Jinpyeong's daughter Jindeman the new monarch."

This Kinderman is the so-called "Queen of Good Virtue" in later generations!

"My minister has heard of it!" said Changsun Wuji.

"Women inherit the throne (cfbc), I can understand, who is the king of Zhenping, who has shallow merit and doesn't even have a son,"

Li Er said, "Yili, Xinluo is a vassal state of my Tang Dynasty. Now that the new ruler is in office, I have to send envoys to her and give her a congratulatory gift."

"Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling said, "Xinluo Xinjun has just been established, and the establishment is a female monarch. I am afraid that the situation will be unstable, and it is not appropriate for her to be canonized now!"

"Well, you're right, the canonization will take a while," Li Er said. "It depends on whether this Kinderman has the courage to sit on the throne."

"Your Majesty," said Du Ruhui this time, "we have to fortify Goguryeo, for fear of it taking advantage of

When the new king of Silla ascended the throne, when the situation was unstable, he invaded Silla on a large scale. "

"That's right," Li Er nodded, "Du Ruhui, your worry is right."

Although Silla and Goguryeo are both vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo has a great power and naturally poses a great threat to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has always regarded it as a hidden danger.

Therefore, Datang needs to use Silla to check and balance Goguryeo, so Datang will not allow Goguryeo to annex Silla and continue to grow its power.

Only now, Li Er's main goal is to the west, Tuyuhun and Tubo, the two little rascals, he has not finished repairing, so at this time, Li Er does not want Goguryeo and Silla to cause trouble again.

It depends on whether that Kinderman has the courage to eradicate dissidents and secure his throne. "However, I am curious about what kind of woman this Kinderman is," Li Er said with great interest. said, "What does she look like?"

Fang Xuanling said, "I have a portrait of Princess Kinderman that was brought to Chang'an City by a Silla merchant. By chance, I met the merchant and asked for the painting."

"Your Majesty, if you want to see it, I will order someone to send this painting to the palace as soon as I go back!"

Li Er, he really wanted to see that painting, to see what the new queen of Silla looked like, but he couldn't show too much interest in the queen of his kingdom in front of his courtiers.

Then he said in a tone of little interest, "Don't worry, when I call you again, you can bring it in and let me take a look."

Fang Xuanling has been with you for many years, so she naturally understands Li Er's temperament more or less. She said that she was not in a hurry, but in fact she was very anxious. Therefore, after Fang Xuanling returned to the mansion, she had to order someone to give this painting to Li Er for appreciation. .

Before Lin Ye came back to the Lin house, he was introduced by Wang Zhang:yang and met several cooks who were good at making mutton feasts. Lin Ye planned to invite these cooks to his house in the near future to make a sumptuous whole lamb feast. , entertain the guests,

When Xiao Xiangyu was full of moon, there was no full moon wine, because at that time, Lin Ye felt that Li Qingshuang was not very happy to receive guests. At that time, everything was simple, and the family had a good meal.

However, since Li Qingshuang met Zhuang Xiyao, his best friend, he seems to have a brighter temperament and is more willing to make new friends. Therefore, Lin Ye felt that at this time, he should have a whole sheep feast and supplement Xiaoxiang. The full moon wine of the rain is very good, and Li Qingshuang should also readily agree.

But Lin Ye had just stepped into the forest house, and the familiar metallic sound of the system sounded in his mind, "The cooldown time of occupation extraction is over, and the host can perform occupation extraction again!"

After the [-]-hour cooldown period has passed, Lin Ye can draw a job again. Since the last time he was drawn to the [shopkeeper] job, he has not been able to draw a new job for a while. I hope this time, the god of luck will be able to draw a new job. Bless him again!

"Come on, System, start the job extraction!"
