Fight the Giants

  The eldest grandson of the emperor was found in the cellar of a merchant's home.

  When I smelled the smell on the first day of the new year, it was the time when the cellar was opened and the servants brought water and food to the cellar.

  The Wala people captured the eldest grandson of the emperor to take him as a hostage and threaten Emperor Yongkang to retreat, and they didn't intend to let him die. It's just that Mu Yan and others searched intensively, so they kept hiding him and didn't dare to show his face.

   "People are fine. Just hungry for a few days."

  Huo Xi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is nothing wrong.

   If something happened, wouldn't the emperor want to bloodbath all the grassland ministries? During the war, Beiping City is on the northern border, can it be spared? Then the property she bought might be in vain.

  Kan Er saw her like that, and couldn't help but said: "Miss Huo, don't take it lightly. This battle must be fought. It wasn't so fast, but they captured the emperor's eldest grandson, and the emperor is angry. Maybe the time will be advanced."

   "Ah, really going to war?"

"Yes. The young master said that if Mrs. Huo's affairs are finished, she should return to Jiangnan earlier. If this battle breaks out, the city of Beiping will probably be in chaos. Every autumn and winter, all the ministries of the grassland will enter the customs to rob food, clothing, and Women are always attacked. If they are hit by snowstorms, there will be more people attacked. It is still safe in Jiangnan."

  Huo Xi shivered cleverly, thinking that it was a peaceful and prosperous world, but he didn't expect that there would be constant small battles, and the world was still not stable.

  Nodded: "Okay, I see. I will go back to Jiangnan after I finish my work."

  Kan Er gave a few instructions and left.

  As soon as the people left, Xiang Cao and Xia He ran back holding the clothes material: "Girl, look. It was given to us on the first day of the new year!"

   Each of the two held a piece of material, which was excellent silk. "This is a good thing from the palace. It's very generous in the first day of the new year. You've got his reputation. Use it to make clothes."

  Unexpectedly, the two girls shook their heads in unison.

   "Girl, can we sell it in our shop? We will definitely get a lot of money."

   "What? You two are looking for money? I don't need your monthly money, right? It's rare to have a piece of good material, don't you use it to make clothes?"

   "It's too wasteful for us to wear such a good material. And the girl gave us a lot of cloth. We all have the cloth of the Fanren, and there is no time to make clothes."

   "Then you will keep it as a dowry."

  The two girls were a little shy: "That's all for the future. Besides, what if it is damaged? Why not replace it with a silver box."

   Well, that's true.

   It’s just, “I gave it to you on the first day of the new year, and you sold it, isn’t he sad?”

"Give it to his father on the first day of the lunar new year, and his father asked him to sell it for silver, saying that we, as servants, can't afford to wear such good materials. He also said that if we give it to us, we can do whatever we want. Youqing and Shuangxi also said Take it and sell it, and his master also said that he will let them save the money they get from the sale."

  Huo Xi was happy to see these children getting along well.

   "Okay, you can handle it yourself. But don't sell it in a shop in Beiping, take it back to Jiangnan and sell it. There are many rich people there."

   "Well, we thought so too."

   On the first day of junior high school, he won such a large reward from the nobleman, so he plans to exercise his nose well. If Huo Xi doesn't go out, he will be seen playing a game of hiding and finding things with Youqing Shuangxi, Vanilla Xiahe and others.

  Vanilla was also stimulated by the first day of junior high school, and she was also working hard to recognize characters, learn to read Tianshu, and chanted to the sky every day.

  Xia He felt that they all had abilities, but she had no ability. She was afraid that her master would dislike her, so she learned to read books and keep accounts while learning to read characters.

  Motivated Youqing and Shuangxi to learn to read and write.

  Huo Xi was happy to see the results.

  Your people are capable, so it's not her master who benefits? Looking at it cheerfully, they supported everything they needed, bought them books and pens and ink, and let them practice calligraphy.

  The eldest grandson of the emperor has been found, and the martial law is no longer on the street, so Huo Xi takes Tayue to go shopping and look at shops.

  The homespun cloth she brought is almost sold out. All kinds of food are also sold very well. The glutinous rice was shipped for 1, 2, 3, and sold for 1, 2, 7, 8 when it was shipped to Peiping. A stone makes a net profit of three or four dollars.

   That is to say, you can earn three or four coins per catty. It is more cost-effective than selling grain for only one or two pennies per catty.

  I heard that glutinous rice can be grown in the north, why not go to Zhuangzi to see if you can grow glutinous rice?

   It's just that the output of glutinous rice is low, so I don't know if it's worth it.

   I also got Zhuangzi to take a look.

  Looking at the other items sold in the shop, I didn't expect the wine collected from Cangzhou, Huai'an, to sell very well. Heard it's all sold out.

  Huo Xi was a little surprised.

  She didn't want to do this business at first, but she just went all the way north, stopped at every dock, and got used to buying some local products.

  Huai'an and Cangzhou wines are famous, she bought some, but unexpectedly they were sold out early when they were shipped to Beiping.

   "A lot of folk artisans came to Beiping. They have no other entertainment after work. They just want to drink some wine when they are paid, and get together to brag about it. The wine is easy to sell." Zhu Ji said with a smile.

  Huo Xi checked the account book again, and found that the wine was not sold much, but the profit was huge.

   Selling 10,000 shi of grain, the net profit is no more than 1,000 taels, and selling a jar of wine can earn tens of hundreds of renminbi, or even more.

   Together, you can earn several pennies per catty.

   Huge profits.

   "Then next time, you can tell our boat to bring some drinks along the way."

  The abundance of grain in the south of the Yangtze River has led to more breweries. However, transporting wine from the south of the Yangtze River to the north is quite motivating, mainly because the journey is too long.

  Zhu Ji nodded in response, "We can go to Hebei, Shandong and other places to find some good wine, and the journey is shorter..."

  Seeing that the three shops are well taken care of by Zhuji, the waste street is still waiting for manpower, and construction has not yet started. Huo Xi planned to go to Zhuangzi to take a look.

  Come out of the shop, strolling on the street, looking at other people's business. After walking a few steps, someone grabbed his arm.

   Frowning and turning his head to look, he saw that Tayue had slapped the opponent's hand and was about to twist his arm.

   "It hurts, dear brother, let your people go!"

   Take a closer look, uh, you are blind. Rolled his eyes at him.

  Jian knew him, so Tayue let him go.

Gong Ziyi rubbed his arms, looked at Tayue with his eyes, and leaned towards her: "I haven't seen you for two years, and my virtuous brother is surrounded by such a powerful person. Where did you find it? Brother also wants one. "

   "No, I bought it all."

   "What do you mean being bought by you? You are not the only one? Good brother, good brother, you are not being kind, you have to give it to brother."

   While speaking, he looked at Tayue with his eyes.

   This is obviously a master. Look at this skill, look at this stern face, it really catches his eyes. like.

  All the guards of their palace family combined, are not as good as the one in front of him that won his favor.

   "Brother, good brother..." As soon as his hand was on Huo Xi's shoulder, Tayue slapped it down.

   Take again, shoot again, grab again, shoot again.

  Gong Ziyi's eyes were shining brightly, he likes this kind of guard, he likes it so much.
