Chapter 545 Feelings
He once dreamed of Shen Qingqian's world, but the dream was too hasty, and he only had a vague understanding of many things, and was completely unaware of some details.
And she will always bring surprises to Dajin.
In the summer, ice was something that only the rich and powerful could use, and it had to be used sparingly based on how much ice was stored during the previous winter.
But now it’s different, Shen Qingqian solved the problem easily.
Perhaps she hasn't realized yet. Not to mention applying this in combat, just starting this summer, if he finds someone to sell ice-related things, he can make a lot of money for northern Hubei.
Northern Hubei is rich in various minerals, saltpeter is one of them. For northern Hubei, making ice with saltpeter is simply a business with no capital. Others can make huge profits with only one investment, but they can make huge profits with no investment.
It has to be said that Sheng Ze was also influenced by Shen Qingqian. When he saw new things, the first thing he thought of was how to make money from them.
At this time, Shan Mancheng spoke up, "Sixth Miss, I heard that the method of making ice was yours."
His eyes were full of curiosity, but Shen Qingqian knew his identity and only smiled slightly when she heard it. "It's not really a novel method. To be frank, it's worthless."
She was not stupid and of course she knew that making ice could make money in the summer in Dajin. Naturally, she would not say much in front of Shan Mancheng, the foreign king.
Moreover, she directly pointed out that this was something that could make money, so it depended on whether Dan Mancheng could be shameless enough to ask further questions.
Shan Mancheng raised his eyebrows secretly. This girl is too defensive.
He admitted that he was curious, but not to the point of doing anything about it.
Everyone's attention was on the caravan, and Shen Qingqian no longer paid attention to Sheng Ze and the others.
As the caravan walked away, Shen Qingqian roughly calculated that there were about 500 people escorting the caravan alone, and the rest were 400 to 500 accompanying personnel. The total number of people in the entire team reached over a thousand.
She was a little confused and turned her head to ask Sheng Ze, "With so many people, the food consumed along the way must be a lot, right?"
She had previously thought that a team of at most 500 people was already a lot, but she didn't expect that when it actually happened, the number of people would be twice as many as she expected.
"There are three gangs of horse bandits between northern Hubei and the first trading location. These people are specially sent to suppress the bandits. Once they leave the city gate, three hundred people will leave the team." Sheng Ze explained briefly.
The thing that merchants fear most is robbery, and there are as many as three gangs of horse bandits from northern Hubei to their first trading place. If these forces are not eliminated, their caravan will simply be facilitating the bandits' business.
Shen Qingqian suddenly realized, that's how it is.
Excluding these three hundred people, the team of six or seven hundred people is still normal.
On the other side, Li Hezhou and Shen Qingman stood together.
"Second Miss, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief today." Li Hezhou lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Qingman, his tone relaxed.
Shen Qingman smiled, "Yes, finally I don't have to worry about the goods."
She has been in contact with Li Hezhou during this period of time. The quantity of peppers is limited. Because she wanted to check out the market outside the Great Wall, Yun Zhongxian reluctantly did not earn this money this month.
They had just stored all the peppers in the cellar two days ago and started loading them last night. It wasn't until this morning, after each carriage loaded with fruits and vegetables had been filled with saltpeter to make ice to preserve them, that the two men breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, why isn't Mr. Li resting at home?" Shen Qingman suddenly remembered this. Shouldn't he have a good rest in Yun Zhongxian's backyard?
Li Hezhou said nonchalantly, "I can't let go of this shipment until I see it leave the city."
Shen Qingman said "Oh" and felt that Li Hezhou was a very down-to-earth person, somewhat different from Li Hezhi.
