After all, everyone knows that the fur goods came from the Di tribe, so no matter how much they say, it's still just doing dowry for someone else.
As for who becomes the imperial merchant, Song Liyun doesn't care; she doesn't want to take the lead.
As a royal merchant, one had great power to communicate with everyone, both inside and outside the court, but also great risks.
She doesn't have that ability either.
Imperial merchants not only had to deal with the Ministry of Revenue and the Imperial Treasury, but also had to communicate with merchants below them. Without a century-old family network, it would be impossible to succeed.
Besides tissues, Jiang Feng brought up another matter: "Your milk powder should have been a tribute, but I think that things that are ingested are risky and produced in small quantities, so it's not suitable to be sent to the forefront."
"Milk powder cannot be used as tribute, but it can be selected as official goods."
Song Liyun was overjoyed: "Lord Jiang, are you serious?"
She has been hesitant to determine the sales channels for the milk powder.
Although tissues, paper bags, and cardboard boxes are rare, they are still paper products and are easily accepted by people. They are just different in purpose from the Xuan paper on a student's desk and the oil paper package at a cooked food stall.
Milk powder, however, was an unprecedented rarity. If I were to have Wanjia deliver it to Beijing for sale, I would have to put in a lot of effort to promote it.
It would be different if Jiang Feng were to choose it as an official product.
Officials from other regions would send gifts to officials in Beijing every year in order to cultivate connections.
However, everyone's area is different, so there will always be areas that are not suitable.
Local officials would compile a list of their best local products and exchange them with caravans.
This is a special edition without a label.
Without the many restrictions of tribute items, and with officials from various prefectures promoting the goods, the products were of high quality and sold without worry, making them the preferred choice for wealthy and powerful families in the capital.
As long as the milk powder is included in the list of gifts given by officials, Song Liyun doesn't need to worry about sales at all.
With tributes to show off and official goods to earn money, it would be hard for her pockets not to be bulging.
After leaving the county government office, Song Liyun still hadn't received the land deed.
But she had an extra letter in her arms, written by Jiang Feng to Zhao Tinglei, requesting that Song Liyun's military household registration be transferred.
That's a difficult task.
As Commander Luo once said, "Once you become a military household, your family will be military households for generations."
Song Liyun's current military household registration requires the Hecheng Garrison to issue a transfer order to the Pingyang Prefecture, and only then can the Suijin Guard and Qili County release and accept her.
Ordinary people do not have such extraordinary means. If Jiang Feng were not about to be promoted to prefect, Zhao Tinglei would not have been able to force the government to transfer his brother's wife's household registration.
Previously, joining the military household was for self-protection, but now that Song Liyun has become a civilian household, the benefits are naturally much greater.
Not only can they use their own household registration to trade land and house deeds, but they can also sever their military household status and get rid of the Zhenbei Army in case of trouble in the future.
Furthermore, Song Zhenping and Xiao An's household registrations have been returned to Xiaoshi Village, Qingping Town, so their children will no longer be restricted in marriage or taking the imperial examinations.
After leaving the county government office, Song Liyun sat briefly at Tianxiang Tower before returning to Baolin Residence.
Instead of going to Hecheng to discuss things with Zhao Tinglei as Jiang Feng had suggested, she went to Xiaoshi Village.
Wu Dan, who had been following her closely, knew that Song Liyun was about to go to Xiaoshi Village and then to Hecheng, so he hurriedly asked, "Young Madam, what about Brother Shitou?"
Stone came back to repair his father's grave. Not only does it require choosing an auspicious date, but it also requires performing rituals. It definitely can't be done in the short term, and he can't follow the young mistress.
While packing her things, Song Liyun said, "Call him here, I have something to ask him!"
Shi Tou didn't go out with Song Liyun today; he stayed in town with Grandpa Zhang and the others. When Wu Dan found him, his eyes were still red.
Song Liyun told him to wash his face and change his clothes before coming over to reply: "I'm leaving Suijin Town for Xiaoshi Village tomorrow, and then to Hecheng. You can stay in Suijin Town to handle things. With Steward Han's help, no one will make things difficult for you."
If you wish to return to your tribe, you can go to the chieftain of Balin; he will arrange for someone to take you away.
Song Liyun felt that this was the most appropriate course of action. Unexpectedly, Shi Tou suddenly knelt down: "Young Madam, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Song Liyun asked in surprise, "Shitou, didn't you... have something to do?"
Stone pulled off the veil covering his face, his eyes red, and said, "Today in town, they... kept asking me where the other people in town were, and why I hadn't brought them back..."
As he said this, he angrily slammed his fist into the ground, instantly tearing the skin and flesh.
Song Liyun's face darkened: "What else did they say? Are you going to tell them everything?"
"They said that since the young mistress has married into the grasslands, she should bring back all the people who were kidnapped in the town!"
"They even asked if I was going to stay in Broken Gold Town from now on, and if I would have a share in the young mistress's shop in town?"
Song Liyun laughed in anger; she didn't need to ask to know who had said those words.
The original residents of the town all had jobs, and with houses, shops, and land, every family was able to make a living.
Seeing that Broken Gold Town was getting better, those who had left after the tragedy began to want to come back.
It was easy to leave, but it's not easy to come back now.
In the past, Suijin Town was a gathering place for migrants who had no household registration.
The houses were mostly built haphazardly; those with the ability would build more, and those without would build less, so naturally there were no land deeds.
Burned down by bandits and outlaws, it's impossible to tell who owned it anymore. Now it's been demolished and rebuilt, and it doesn't look like it at all anymore.
Without household registration or land deeds, one cannot simply register a household based on a single statement. Besides, who would be willing to give up resources that have already been allocated?
Watching the town of Suijin prosper day by day, those people began to resent the Song family, who occupied the best courtyards and owned the most shops.
The blame is on the Song family, what does it have to do with Shi Tou? These words shouldn't affect Shi Tou's departure, right?
After Song Liyun finished bandaging Shi Tou's hand, she finally managed to get the truth out of this taciturn boy.
Because six months ago, when Manager Mu's employee Tang Liang was rescued from the grasslands by Zhao Tingduo, it caused a sensation, so few people paid attention to Shi Tou's return this time.
