Chapter 845 Eye-catching wealthy businessman
"Boss Tang, you have been following me for a while, this time you must cooperate with Da Sima so that no one will notice anything."
Chu Nanzhi exhorted Tang Weiming.
Although Tang Weiming was very reluctant in his heart, he knew the important task of the queen's trip, and he also made up his mind to live and die with her. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Please don't worry, the queen, even if the servant loses his head, he will finish the queen." assigned task."
Chu Nanzhi smiled gratifiedly, thinking of the disguised woman next to Ji Wanying in the past, she was quite inspired, and asked people to find some flour, and used rouge and gouache to modify everyone's makeup a little, and each changed their outfits, and in a blink of an eye, Both himself and Sang Qi have become business travelers with beards and vicissitudes on their faces.
Afterwards, he sneaked out of the post house in the dark.
Walked back for a long time in the snow, and finally entered the boundary of Dangyang County at dawn.
"Sister Zhi, if you say that we rush into the city like this, will it attract suspicion?"
Ma Laifu asked worriedly.
"Perhaps they will strictly check the passers-by, but after yesterday's incident, I don't think Prefect Sun will dare to obstruct the business travelers going out of the city."
Chu Nanzhi smiled resolutely.
After all, he didn't dare to set restrictions on the whole city under the guise of disaster relief.
"Oh, by the way, Lai Fu, you can no longer call me sister after you enter the city."
Chu Nanzhi reminded.
Now the surnames Chu and Lin are too ostentatious. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly smiled and said: "Now my surname is Mu, and I come from Pingning Prefecture to do business. I am the eldest in my family. Sang Qi is an orphan from a foreign land adopted by my father in the early years. He is called Mu Erlang, and he is also the second treasurer of our caravan, and we all rely on the Zhao family's caravan in Luyan Port to make a living."
"Oh, what about me?"
Ma Laifu asked with a look on his face.
Looking at Ma Laifu who was dressed as a one-eyed dragon, Chu Nanzhi covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Of course you are the number one guy in our caravan. You encountered pirates at sea two years ago and lost an eye."
Ma Laifu sighed weakly, he didn't expect his experience to suddenly become so miserable.
As Chu Nanzhi expected, the group entered Dangyang City smoothly, and found an inn to stay first.
In order to attract attention, Chu Nanzhi directly booked the entire inn. After running around all night, everyone was a little tired, and went to their respective rooms to deal with a few casually before falling asleep.
It was already noon when Chu Nanzhi woke up, when she heard Ma Laifu's voice outside the door: "The shopkeeper, there is a shopkeeper Sun from Dangyang County asking to see you."
Shopkeeper Sun?
Hearing Sun's surname, Chu Nanzhi immediately became interested.
Quickly tidied up her makeup and went downstairs calmly.
As soon as I arrived downstairs, I saw a bloated middle-aged man greeted him enthusiastically: "Shopkeeper Mu, you come from a long way, rare customers."
Chu Nanzhi was taken aback by his intimacy, but after thinking about booking the entire inn, she immediately got used to such a hospitality attitude, stroked her beard lightly, and asked arrogantly, "I don't know this What is the reason for shopkeeper Sun's visit, and I have never met you before?"
"Hey, everyone who comes is a guest."
Shopkeeper Sun replied with a smile: "Shopkeeper Mu Da came here a long way, and I think he came here for business."
He said emphatically and patted his chest: "Sun can't guarantee anything else, but there is no business in Dangyang City that I can't do. If the shopkeeper Muda wants to make a worthwhile trip, he can come to me. "
"Shopkeeper Sun is so powerful?"
Chu Nanzhi casually walked to a table downstairs and sat down, and continued to ask in a lukewarm tone: "Then shopkeeper Sun, why not tell me what business is the most profitable in Tanzhou City right now."
Seeing his hesitation, Chu Nanzhi stretched as if nothing had happened, and said to the innkeeper: "Prepare a few tables for me with the best food and drinks in the store. Our caravan has traveled for several days, let them have a good time." Relax and relax."
As he spoke, he immediately took out a one-thousand tael banknote from his bosom and handed it to the shopkeeper, telling him, "Don't be negligent. I'll find all the delicacies from mountains and seas in Tanzhou City. It's not bad for money."
Seeing her making such a generous move, the innkeeper and shopkeeper Sun all smiled.
"If you want to say that there are a few most profitable businesses in Tanzhou right now."
Shopkeeper Sun was afraid that she would not do business with him, so he quickly said: "This is the first one, of course it is a business of human teeth. The famine in Tanzhou is serious this year. The mountains have been covered by heavy snow for the past two months, and it is even more difficult for poor people. Today It was the night of the New Year's Eve, but many people are afraid that they can't even have a full meal at this moment. At this time, the wooden shopkeeper only needs to get three to five hundred yuan, and those poor families are rushing to sell their children and daughters. A rich place in the south of the Yangtze River is bound to make a lot of money."
Without waiting for Chu Nanzhi to answer, shopkeeper Sun immediately changed his words: "However, I heard that shopkeeper Mu relies on the Zhao family in Luyan Port to do business, so I think he doesn't bother to do such insignificant business."
"Naturally."
Chu Nanzhi sneered: "I am able to enter the Zhao family's caravan to do business because of Mrs. Zhao's kindness, so I don't want to do such a business that compromises fortune and reputation."
Paused, she continued: "Besides, how much money can be made by this kind of human-toothed business, I'm afraid shopkeeper Sun will look down on our Zhao family caravan."
When the words fall, I have to get up.
"Hey, shopkeeper Mu, don't worry, I have more profitable business."
Shopkeeper Sun panicked when he saw that she was leaving.
Seeing his anxious expression, Chu Nanzhi sat down again, cupped her fists and said, "I wish to listen carefully."
Shopkeeper Sun inspected the surroundings, and suddenly lowered his voice: "If you say that the most violent industry right now is the land production business."
"Field production business?"
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be dismissive and shook her head: "Shopkeeper Sun is not cheating me, I heard that the imperial court has increased the tax, even if it is sitting on a thousand hectares of fertile land, it is probably not a good deal. Half of the grain was handed over to the imperial court, and the tenant farmers still had to make a living for them, so there was not much left.”
"Hey, my silly brother, who said you were hired to farm."
Shopkeeper Sun frowned and said: "You don't know the current situation in Tanzhou. Although the imperial court has issued a policy order, the government's small amount of land is not enough to distribute to poor families. Even a family with a few acres of Susukida is now hit by snowstorms. It is difficult to maintain for a while, I am afraid that they have to sell the land to survive, and although those big families have a lot of good land, they are forced by the new policy of the court, and they want to sell the hoarded land earlier to make a safe money. "
Carefully inspecting Chu Nanzhi, shopkeeper Sun said again:
"No one can say for sure about the decree of the imperial court. Although the empress dowager and the new emperor said that they would not be held accountable for the honorable family to return the occupied land to the people, but who would willingly eat something in their mouths again? Spit it out, I wanted to wait for a good price but I was worried about the court's accountability. Judging from the current situation, they may not be able to wait anymore. It is very difficult for the common people to survive now. and trembling,
Nowadays, as long as someone pays the money, this fertile land in Tanzhou is at your fingertips, and it is not difficult to wait for a good price after passing this trend. "
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi smiled sweetly: "This is really a good deal."
