When we got to the river, we found that although it was May, the river breeze was hot!
If you come at night, it will be quite cool.
As soon as Cheng Yue arrived at the river, he pulled Shanshui back to the tavern.
“Hehehe…”
Shanshui walked and laughed, pleased by Cheng Yue's actions.
"Don't laugh, it's really hot outside. I don't know if the watermelon is edible."
Cheng Yue glared at Shanshui and said.
She has been busy these days and hasn't gone to the fields to check on them.
"It should be soon! I heard from Tiezhu that there have been a few sneaky-looking guys hanging around the melon field lately. There's so much land and they're worried they can't keep an eye on it, so they asked me to find some dogs to guard the melon field to make things easier."
Mountains and rivers.
"Oh, right! How could I forget something so important? In the beginning, when we were growing melons, there were a lot of people making sarcastic remarks. A few days ago, my parents went to the fields to check on melons and said they had grown to the size of Ning Wazi's head. It seemed someone was keeping an eye on him. So, we went to get some dogs."
Cheng Yue slapped her head and felt like something was missing. It turned out to be this.
Even if Li Tiezhu and Dashuan and Xiaoshuan went to guard the melon field every day, they could not keep an eye on hundreds of acres of land all the time.
It's totally fine to feed a few dogs.
"I went to the next village and bought three of them, they're only a month old. I plan to go back and get them tomorrow. They're a little small, but when they're ripe, they'll still make a noise."
Mountains and rivers.
"You know what? You look like you have nothing to do all day, but you do quite a lot!"
Cheng Yue teased.
"Then let me tell you something! I was planning to tell you for sure."
Shanshui smiled and said.
"What?"
Cheng Yue asked curiously.
"Didn't the Lu family commit a crime? All their shops have been sealed off. Once the imperial court documents arrive, they will become public property. I've already agreed with Lord Ji that I will buy a few of them. Besides a few criminal businesses like selling illegal salt, the Lu family's most profitable businesses are their rouge shop and their cloth shop."
"They have three caravans of their own, one heading south, one heading west to the land of the Hu people, and the other heading to the capital. Their rouge shop carries a lot of goods brought back from the western Hu country. The most important thing is that there's a Hu person who knows how to make incense, and they have rouge shops in the provincial capital."
"The cloth shop sells their own cloth. They have people weaving the cloth, and then they work with the Huang family to dye the cloth. Although they don't sell to the entire Da Qi, in this southwest area, their cloth shop is the largest."
"So, I plan to ask Lord Ji to capture these three caravans, the incense-making Hu people, and the cloth shop."
Shanshui explained.
"If their family is so rich, why would they still sell illegal salt? Don't they know it's illegal?"
Cheng Yue said in surprise.
She didn't particularly learn about the Lu family's business.
"Money moves people's hearts!"
Shanshui smiled.
"When can I buy it? Will it cost a lot?"
Cheng Yue asked again.
"Over ten thousand taels, maybe! But you can talk to Lord Ji about ten thousand taels. I've already found time to meet with the three caravans. They don't have deep feelings for the Lu family. If they weren't all slaves with life-indentures, with their years of experience traveling all over the country, they definitely wouldn't continue to wait to be bought. They've been detained at the government office for a few days. And the weaver girls and the people on the farm have all signed life-indentures."
Shanshui explained.
