In the study room outside Zhang's residence of Huai'an Prefecture, Zhang Zhifu was very pleased to have a conversation with Wang Xuanzhi. Prime Minister Wang has such an outstanding son, and his future is bound to be limitless.

"Today, my brother invited Han Xian to a feast, and your cousin also passed by, or should he learn more from you?" Zhang Zhi smiled. Zhang Wen and his mother and compatriot, but they are completely different. Zhang Wen is one of the best celebrities in Huai'an. His disciples are all over the world, but he likes general affairs and loves to do some water conservancy and field affairs with those inferior people, but Zhang Zhi is single-minded. Read only the sage books, and married the sister of Mrs. Prime Minister Wang. With this help, the official journey is very smooth. I have already become a minister of rituals. Ding You is at home because of the death of his father. Now Ding You is coming soon and he is worrying about recovery. With the kindness of Wang's family to send her aunts and daughters to visit her aunt, you don't have to worry about getting up.

"Is Zhang asking Mr. Zhang?" Wang Xuanzhi said joyfully: "Xuanzhi also wants to ask her husband. I don't know when it is convenient for her to allow me to come to visit?" Zhang Wen's knowledge and ability, even his jealous and virtuous father would have to. Complimented, he was willing to accompany his sister to Huai'an, mostly because he wanted to ask Zhang Wen and Yang Wanli for advice.

"Father!" A young man walked outside the door, and after meeting Zhang Zhi first, he smiled at Wang Xuanzhi and said, "Xuanzhi."

"Cousin is good." Wang Xuanzhi got up and saw the courtesy. Zhang Zhi, the eldest son, was considered a young man, and he had already been hit by Juren at a young age.

"Qing'er is back." Zhang Zhi nodded and motioned for Zhang Qing to sit down.

"Father, today the second uncle not only invited Han Yan, but even a female household was invited to the main table." Zhang Qinggang sat down and said in a casual way.

"What kind of female household?" Zhang Zhi asked. Han Mian knew that he was indeed a very talented person, but despite his reputation, he ended up helping others to take care of Zhuangzi, which is really a humiliating scholar.

"Said it was Han Xian's owner, a woman who set up a household alone and went by sea." Zhang Qingyou sneered and said, "I still wear men's clothing."

"How can my second brother do such things?" Zhang Zhi said angrily.

"The woman is so good, she still talks a lot about it at the banquet." Zhang Qing said after the banquet, and said disdainfully: "Such a woman is really insulting and gentle. Brother Su also told me that he will not go to Zhang again. That's it, sir."

"Naughty!" Zhang Zhi screamed, then turned to ask Wang Xuanzhi: "How do you think the nephew?"

"Although the woman is arrogant, she is right." Wang Xuanzhi smiled at Zhang Qing: "Cousin, don't worry, the woman said that the country is nothing but the people. This is indeed correct, and beyond this big week, There is even an infinite world. If there is a chance, I want to see it."

"Although I have some knowledge, it is still too frivolous, a woman, hum." Zhang Zhi sneered, stopped mentioning it, and turned to other things.

I'm afraid it was her. I really did something wrong today. Looking at Xie's family as a wealthy marine merchant, I would know that a hairpin is in her eyes. In addition, in the past two years, none of the Xie’s boats that ran away from the family has returned, and the boat master has already lost everything. Now he can only go to places like Goryeo and Japan. If the woman comes back from tens of thousands of miles away, then she will definitely get a huge profit, Wang Xuanzhi She sighed inwardly, she really did something like a villain. If she meets again in the future, she must apologize.

Ling Qingyu only felt a splitting headache when he woke up, and cursed, the wine is really not a good thing! Then he hurriedly got up and looked around, remembering that his wine has always been bad, I wonder if he brought it here?

"What are you looking for?" Yan San asked with a pot of water and closed the door.

"It's okay." Ling Qingyu hurriedly pulled up the thin quilt to cover his body, got his head out again, and asked: "How did I come back yesterday?"

Yan San glanced at her and didn't answer. Ling Qingyu uttered a loud voice, covering his head, and a dull voice came from under the quilt, and said: "Um, what did I do?"

"This is what you said?" Yan San nodded her quilt-wrapped head, and when she got out, she stretched out her arms to show her, and then tore the collar a little bit, revealing her shoulders with tooth marks. .

"Wow!" Ling Qingyu yelled, blushing and went back to the quilt, saying: "I won't drink to death anymore!"

"Get up quickly, we will leave after eating." Yan San patted her, tightening the neckline, and said.

"I didn't do anything else?" Ling Qingyu asked dullly. In the past, apart from biting people, there were people who could do that.

"What else do you want to do?" Yan San said with a smile in his voice, and then said, "Don't dare, don't you want to go back to Hangzhou?"

"Oh." Ling Qingyu responded. After hearing Yan San's going out, he relaxed and hurriedly got up to freshen up and dress.

When they came out of the front yard restaurant, Han Mian and Zheng Xi were already having breakfast. Those who had a tacit understanding did not mention yesterday's events, but only talked about the layout in Huai'an and Wuhu.

"Wuhu, I remember that printing and dyeing is very famous?" Ling Qingyu took a bite of the steamed bun and said. The most famous polder that she knows is actually in Wuhu. Unexpectedly, Han Xian also made the idea there, and it can indeed be the best place to build. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were three best polder fields, making Wuhu one of the four rice markets.

"Yes, there are also many local specialties." Han Yan said with a smile.

"Yunkai looks at the trees, Jiang Jing listens to the tide. It is indeed a good place. When I come back next time, I must go to have fun." Ling Qingyu nodded. After thinking for a while, he said: "If you go and see if you can build a wharf, the Yangtze River estuary is so deep that you can drop off the domestic ships and bring in goods directly."

"The master wants to run the Yangtze River shipping?" Han Mian asked with his chopsticks stopped.

"No, the Yangtze River shipping is not that easy to run. The two lakes are okay. The beaches are very watery when entering the Shu area. I just want to distribute the goods from Quanzhou. Now four sea ships and ships have been rebuilt in Quanzhou. If there are more, I don’t just want to transport only precious spices, but I want to bring some raw materials, iron, copper, and sulfur.” Ling Qingyu took a sip of porridge, and then said, “To be honest, this time I have a lot of money. Female households, anyone can point to my nose and face. Keeping cash is not as good as cooperating with people in some industries, making iron and forging forests. You can try all of these."

"So, this can't be done in one or two days." Han Mian also thought. He can now understand why when he first met, Ling Qingyu told them that he was willing to support them in the imperial examination.

"I didn't want to make it a day or two," Ling Qingyu smiled: "I'm still young now, so I can run a few more times. If I have a chance to do these things, I just want to open a shop without manufacturing."

"I see. The idea of ​​being a master is that we not only want polder, but also mountains and forests, and at the same time, we have the opportunity to smelt these." Han Yan nodded. When the lifeblood of this country is unknowingly in his hands, who would dare to despise her! (Brother Han, your boss really didn't think so, she wanted to make money, and then smashed the gangsters)

Ling Qingyu took another hundred thousand taels of silver notes to Han Mian, and then said to Zheng Xi: "You can use the cash if you want. We are now in the expansion period, but we must pay attention to the stable operation. The early stage is still reliable. People, and good management, can see real benefits."

"Yes." The two responded at the same time.

After the incident in Huai'an, Ling Qingyu was more anxious to go back, only urging Yan San to hurry up. It turns out that she knew that the huge wealth was dangerous, but after all, nothing specific happened. Now thinking about the goods and gold on the Fengshen ship in Quanzhou, in fact, the government can just find an excuse to seal it up for you. I was shocked, thinking I kept the goods from my store for a year, the gems and jade were left behind, and the others were still sold. Anyway, these goods will be available after another trip. If they are really wiped out, it will be really no place to cry. Cried. Thinking of this, he started to think of Xiao Rong's goodness again.

It was August when I returned to Hangzhou, and it was almost Mid-Autumn Festival. The festival atmosphere in Hangzhou was very lively. Ling Qingyu thought that he would have a chance to see it in the future and decided to leave as soon as possible.

The Fengshen had already fought back and forth, bringing back the remaining goods, as well as 3.5 million taels of silver notes.

"Those who are said to be big businessmen, come from Bianliang, and Master Fan’s manager came out. After reading your letter, the adoptive father agreed to sell them even though the price was not high." The bill was handed to Ling Qingyu.

Most of the goods in Quanzhou are removed. If compared with the price he sold in Hangzhou, it is indeed a bit lower. However, in the current situation, Ling Qingyu feels fortunate. It seems that he owes Master Fan a favor. According to her instructions, the gems did not move. All of them were brought to Hangzhou. There were also some treasures such as ivory, coral, pearl, tortoiseshell, etc., which can be sold here in Hangzhou. The remaining spices, seasonings and treasures are less than a fifth. One.

Ling Qingyu glanced at Cai Jingfang. He was much thinner again. He seemed to be more energetic. He thought that the stone was well prepared, so he said to him, "Xiaocai, I will keep the goods from your store here for one year. A few boxes of jadeite, you keep one box, find some good craftsmen, and send the others to Zheng Xi’s. These middle and low-grade gems, you and Zheng Xi are half of the same person. There is a piece of official land to sell from Mr. Xu. You must bid for it. Take it down."

"Yes." Cai Jingfang nodded. Xu Chang’s official land is mostly mountain forests. The fields are small patches of fields interspersed in the mountains, but they are in line with the needs of the owner. The mountains are planted with trees and bamboo, and the foot of the mountain can be used for paper printing and dyeing. Safflower can be planted as a raw material for dyeing cloth, and there is no need to laboriously to cultivate, and the benefits are far higher than farming.

Ling Qingyu flicked the thick silver ticket in her hand, and said, "Small dish, help me change some cash, find a place to be a villager, dig a silver cellar, I really want to see how the house full of shiny silver feels. Ah! Several people who had been serious about "Puff" sprayed out.

"By the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Please prepare a gift for Xiaocai. Every official will give it a copy. Don't send a silver ticket to Mr. Xu. Give me some medicinal herbs and spices." Ling Qingyu returned to the topic. Tao.

"Yes." Cai Jingfang replied. In fact, the main gift is Zhao Pu, and the other basic few hundred taels of silver are enough. Now they have a lot of goods in hand, and they have sealed one or two hundred taels of silver tickets, plus some rare goods, and those officials are very useful. It's just that Xu Chang is an upright official, and instead of giving money, he slaps his face. Indeed, as the master said, the medicinal materials are practical.
