When Gu Jingyun received the letter from Shopkeeper He, they had already put on their jackets, and the weather became cold.

  Niuniu was getting hot, so Qin Xinfang didn't dare to leave for half a step, so Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun went to the county town together.

Zhou Baizhu gave Li Baolu a list, "There are not enough medicinal materials in the warehouse, these are the medicinal materials that need to be replenished." Zhou Baizhu paused and said: "Your aunt's milk is not enough, if you can find a milking sheep, buy one and bring it back. Bar."

  Zhang Yiyan also followed them into the county seat. He was still carrying three sackcloths on his back. Li Baolu couldn't help staring at him curiously when he saw him.

  Gu Jingyun explained: "He has business to discuss with Shopkeeper He."

Zhang Yiyan traveled to several villages during this period of time, and suggested that everyone take part of the land to grow ramie. Although many people were moved by his advocacy, but because they were afraid that the woven linen would not be sold, everyone did not dare to be the first to buy ramie. kind.

  Zhang Yiyan thought that if they found a good market first, everyone would be positive when they saw hope, so they brought three sackcloths and followed Gu Jingyun to see the shopkeeper He.

Shopkeeper He brought Gu Jingyun the paint he needed, as well as an invitation from the He family, "If you go to Guangzhou next year, you might as well live in the He family's other courtyard, where there are servants cleaning all the year round, and it is close to the academy. It is both convenient to read and quiet and elegant.”

   Gu Jingyun politely refused: "The good intentions of the shopkeeper He are under his heart. My colleagues and I have already made an appointment to be together, so I won't bother the shopkeeper He."

   Shopkeeper He felt a little pity, looked at Li Baolu, who was sitting quietly beside him, and regained his energy. He smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I haven't seen Madam, Madam is even better."

  Li Baolu pursed her lips and smiled at him. In the past three months, she seldom went hunting in the mountains, and seldom basked in the sun, so she naturally turned white.

   Shopkeeper He took out a box and pushed it to her, "Mrs. Gu, this is a pearl from the people below. I think it's just for Madam. It's better for Madam to string it into a necklace."

  Li Baolu raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Jingyun.

   Gu Jingyun glanced at the pearls in the box, nodded slightly, and asked Li Baolu to accept it.

   Shopkeeper He breathed a sigh of relief.

   Li Baolu was curious, the He family had something to ask Gu Jingyun, otherwise why would they give her such a gift.

  You must know that the pearls of this era are different from those of modern times. Most of the pearls of modern times are cultivated and the cost is not high.

   But the pearls of this era are all picked from the bottom of the water or the bottom of the sea by the pearlers who risked their lives, and after a few hands, the price can be leveraged.

  Pearl is rarer than gold.

  Li Baolu's eyes turned to Zhang Yiyan, and she sighed in her heart. She deserved Zhang Yiyan's good luck. At this time, she came to Shopkeeper He with sackcloth. As long as the price is right and the goods are not bad, Shopkeeper He will definitely accept it.

  Li Baolu expected it well. After carefully looking at the linen cloth brought by Zhang Yiyan, Shopkeeper He pondered: "If your cloth is of this quality, it would not be difficult to sell it."

He paused with a smile and asked, "This is Gu's business? With the talent of the young master, it's a shame to do this business. My He family still has a few sea trade businesses. One share, two shares, and it's a lot of money when the ship comes back from overseas."

   What is the difference between this and giving away money for free?

   Zhang was speechless, he didn't expect Gu Jingyun to be so popular outside.

  Li Baolu knew that there was no free lunch in the world, so she took a look at Gu Jingyun.

   Gu Jingyun refused: "I'm not interested in sea trade right now."

   It should be said that he is not interested in doing business, but it is necessary and not necessary.

"Although I account for half of this business, I'm not very interested in it, but I grew up in Sin Village. Seeing it is poor and helpless, I can't bear it. If shopkeeper He thinks this business can be done, Then we will make a contract so that the villagers can grow ramie as soon as possible. If they feel that this business has no future, they will refuse it. The sale will not be benevolent and righteous. to report."

   Shopkeeper He then understood that Gu Jingyun didn't ask for money for this business, he wanted to give the people of Sin Village a way out.

He calculated in his heart and said, "The three pieces of linen that Zhang Gongzi brought are the top, middle and bottom three. If the next linen is of low quality, then our Bora number can charge it, but the price is not worth it. It's not high."

Shopkeeper He said, "Young Master Gu is my friend, so I'll make it clear here that among the three pieces of sackcloth you brought, the top-grade linen can be sold for about a hundred cents in the shop, while the middle-grade one is about ninety cents, and the low-grade one is about 100 cents. Between seventy and eighty characters."

   Zhang Yiyan was excited.

"But I have to transport the cloth across the strait, and after I land on the shore, I have to transport it inland. The cost during the period is not low, and if it is sold out, there must be a profit margin for the store, so what I can give you here is The top grade is thirty cents, the middle grade is twenty cents, and the low grade is twelve cents, what do you think?"

   Zhang Yiyan's heart was cold, the price difference is too much.

  He explained: "The loss of transportation, labor costs, and the cost of vehicles and horses are not low. This price is already more favorable in the face of Gu Gongzi."

  Zhang Yiyan turned his head to look at Gu Jingyun, Gu Jingyun served the tea in a leisurely manner, he only paid the principal and would not participate in the decision-making, Zhang Yiyan had to learn to make up his own mind.

Zhang Yiyan lowered his eyes and thought about it. The unit price is not high, but ramie can be harvested three times a year in Hainan. His mother is slow, but he can weave a piece of cloth in five days. The fastest in the village is Zhang Damei. You can get a piece of cloth in two days.

   So as long as the raw materials of ramie can keep up, she can get 15 pieces of cloth a month, and the quality is considered to be of medium quality, and that month is 300 pennies.

   Even if we can only weave for half a year, there will be 1,800 articles in that year...

  Zhang Yiyan thought of the tea planting that he had no idea about, so he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, then set the price at this price."

   The corners of Mr. He's mouth were slightly raised.

   After the two parties signed a contract, they returned to the village.

   Zhang Yiyan asked nervously, "Young Master, are we at a loss?"

"You can't lose any money, didn't you just make a two-year contract?" Gu Jingyun leaned on the carriage and looked at the fast-receding green tree by the roadside and said softly: "Now we are in a weak position, and we have not negotiated with him. Qualification, if you lose it, you will lose some, and you will see it in two years."

  Zhang Yiyan looked at Gu Jingyun's side face and pursed his lips. In fact, there is a way. As long as Gu Jingyun is willing to say a word for him, the price will definitely be raised.

   But Gu Jingyun made it very clear that he was looking for a way out for the villagers of Sin Village, not to assume their future.

   Naturally, he would not raise the unit price by owing the Bora a favor.

   Zhang Yiyan sighed, not knowing whether to say that Gu Jingyun was warm-hearted or cold-blooded.

He clearly wanted to blame the villagers for a better life, but after pointing the way, he let go. Whether it was a good or bad life, they all had to fight and grab it by themselves, even if he raised his hand, he could make them live better. Well, he didn't want to lift it any more.

  The three returned to the village in silence, and Zhang Yiyan helped carry the paint to the game room and left.

  Gu Jingyun glanced at his back, turned his head and asked Li Baolu, "Do you think I'm cold-blooded too?"

   Zhang Yiyan's emotional expression is not obvious, but Gu Jingyun is a man, and Zhang Yiyan can understand what he is thinking by saying a few words.

"No," Li Baolu looked up at him seriously and said, "No one is obliged to be responsible for other people's lives. It depends on your own efforts to live a good life or not. You have worked hard to show them a clear path, and Laying the cornerstone of this road for them is the greatest kindness."

"But people are always dissatisfied. They don't want to go ahead and open up a bigger and farther road. Instead, they come back and complain that the foundation stone you hit is not smooth enough." Li Baolu paused and said, "Such a person is not worth your visit. Ignore it."

  The corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth were slightly raised, and he took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's sort out the paint, I have already selected the story to paint, have you selected it yet?"

   "I'm still thinking."

   "Then you have to hurry up, the New Year is almost here, and we will go to Guangzhou in half a year." As long as the people he cares about understand, he feels like he owns the whole world.

   But Li Baolu didn't want to let Zhang Yiyan's family dominate. She lay on the couch at night thinking about it for a long time, and finally got up and ran to Gu Jingyun's bed to push him, "Let Big Sister Zhang and Zhang Yiyan be responsible for this together."

   "Huh?" Gu Jingyun was shaken and still a little confused.

   "Big sister Zhang is smart and tough, and her ability is no weaker than Zhang Yiyan. Instead of letting him sit up and worrying about parting ways with him, it's better to let Big Sister Zhang contain him. And Big Sister Zhang has a better mind than him."

   Big sister Zhang is cold and affectionate. Li Baolu doesn't like or hate her, but she really admires her.

If a woman like    could be born in her previous life, she must be a very powerful woman, but unfortunately she was born at an untimely time.

   But in this sinful village with vague rules, it may be a chance for Big Sister Zhang.

   Li Baolu became more excited the more she thought about it, she shook Gu Jingyun and said, "That's all we have to say, let Damei Zhang work with Zhang Yiyan."

   Gu Jingyun understood her words after a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, it's up to you."

  Li Baolu became happy, "Then I'll tell Big Sister Zhang tomorrow, just in time for her to come to the house to cook."

   After saying that, he was about to go back to the couch to sleep, but Gu Jingyun grabbed her hand and said, "It's cold, why don't you put on an extra dress?"

   He moved inwards, patted his bed and said, "Sleep here."

  Li Baolu's face flushed, she tried to pull out her hand, "I'll just sleep on the couch."

   Gu Jingyun's face turned cold, "The bed is cold, do you think there are too many medicines at home, come up and sleep with me."

  Li Baolu's heart trembled, and finally climbed onto the bed and lay in the quilt. Satisfied, Gu Jingyun lay on a pillow with her, hugged her firmly with both hands, and fell asleep after a while.

   Li Baolu despises her previous life, and it's all your fault. It's because of your messy knowledge that I misunderstood Jingyun. People are just sleeping.

   The villain in the past life in his mind squatted on the ground with his back behind his back and pointed his fingers.

  In the warm quilt, Li Baolu yawned, found a comfortable position and quickly fell asleep.

  Gu Jingyun opened his eyes, stared at Li Baolu's sleeping face for a long time, and finally placed a kiss on her forehead, hugged her and fell asleep contentedly.
