Considering that his uncle and the others were on their way, Qiao Lian'er made further arrangements.
The eldest uncle lived in the first room of the east wing, the third uncle lived in the second room of the east wing, Dacheng lived in the third room of the east wing, and Zhizhi lived in the first room of the west wing.
Let's arrange it like this for now. If one day the Qiao family all come to the capital, we can redistribute them. At that time, perhaps they will all be able to take over a large house, or perhaps they will all receive a reward from the emperor.
Qiao Lian'er went into the back room, which had five rooms in total, and filled it with things. Then she went into the rear room, which also had five rooms, and filled them all.
The Pei family sent a convoy of ten carriages, along with a team of forty people responsible for delivering the goods, with four people assigned to each carriage.
Qiao Lian'er checked the order form and directed her servants to load the goods.
"The Chen family has 100 catties of durian, 200 catties of macadamia nuts, and 200 catties of pecans, totaling 6,000 taels."
"The Sun family has 200 catties of durian, 300 catties of pecans, and 200 catties of macadamia nuts, totaling 9,000 taels."
"The Jiang family has 300 catties of durian and 300 catties of pecans, totaling 9,000 taels."
"......"
Qiao Lian'er calculated that her values had been severely challenged.
For these wealthy people, several thousand taels is just a few taels for an ordinary person.
She fell silent.
At that time, there were about thirty households in the Prince Heng's mansion. The goods they wanted ranged from one thousand to twenty thousand taels, averaging seven thousand taels. In other words, she earned two hundred and one thousand taels just from selling this batch.
The money earned by the Qiao family, plus the compensation from General Guan's family and the imperial reward, amounted to just over 50,000 taels.
Qiao Lian'er felt even more deeply that there really was a barrier between the capital and other places; they were completely different worlds.
This place is overflowing with materialism, dazzling with prosperity, and you can literally pick up money here.
When Qiao Zhizhi and Qiao Dayong heard Qiao Lian'er's price quote and the large order quantity from Gao Men, their jaws nearly dropped.
Did these people's money just fall from the sky?
Pei Zhujin smiled and said, "The prominent families in the capital have accumulated wealth over generations, with each family possessing at least several million taels of silver, not even counting the value of their shops, teahouses, taverns, real estates, and other businesses."
Several million taels of cash is a conservative estimate; there are also millions of taels of silver notes that have been piled up for years and eaten by rats without anyone noticing.
It's just a snack; they don't even feel the cost.
The carriages ran until nightfall, finally delivering all the goods needed by the various powerful families. They paid promptly without batting an eye.
“It’s late now. Dinner has been prepared at the Pei residence. Let’s go eat there,” Pei Shijiu said.
"Tomorrow, I'll pick out two good chefs for you. They can make any kind of dish and any kind of dessert."
"Okay, wait a moment." Qiao Lian'er loaded the best durians and nuts into a carriage.
"These are for your family. I'll send a batch to the Pei family every now and then."
Both Pei brothers were able to tolerate the taste of durian and accepted it readily.
After a good meal, they returned to their own house to sleep. Surrounded by pleasant fragrance and the dizzying feeling of wealth, the three siblings slept very peacefully and each had sweet dreams.
She got up early in the morning and an old eunuch came to the door. He had an unfriendly expression and looked at her coldly.
"Princess, the Emperor wishes to see you. Please."
Qiao Lian'er's heart skipped a beat. Something had happened?
