After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Liu Feiyang grabbed Ke Xin and left.
Warehouse.
He generously pointed at all the things and said, "All these things in our house are yours. The silver and gold alone are worth hundreds of thousands of taels. Pack them all up and put them in your space."
Ke Xin stared at him for a long moment and said, "Are you sick?"
"No matter how much gold and silver there is, it's not earned by me. Even if I accepted it, I wouldn't feel a sense of accomplishment."
Besides, if she likes money, she can earn it herself, so why should she rely on others to give it to her, even though she knows he means well.
"Stop making trouble and go back to eat. I'm not full yet."
After Ke Xin finished speaking, she turned around and walked back, but this also reminded her of something: "Xuan Ji has gone back to the capital. According to the distance, shouldn't she be there by now?"
Liu Feiyang shook his head: "How can it be so fast? The ice on the river hasn't melted yet. It will take at least half a month to go back by carriage."
"Since you're so slow, shouldn't you do something for the emperor?" Ke Xin said, her lips curled up into a smile: "Don't let your cousin be idle, otherwise there will be something bad going on!"
Making trouble?
Liu Feiyang liked it, but he couldn't tell the emperor right now that the rice yield was 2,000 kilograms per mu! So, he listened attentively: "Tell me quickly, what are you going to do!"
Ke Xin raised an eyebrow. "It's already there... The Jin Kingdom is suffering from a drought. Just tell the emperor, just in case, to investigate whether there are any places in Daliang that are experiencing drought or are about to experience drought. If there are any places that haven't snowed or rained in winter, write them down."
As long as the emperor harbors suspicions, he will be distracted from his investigation. After all, droughts and floods are natural disasters, and dealing with them properly will cost money and lives. If they go wrong, they will attract the attention of other countries, and war will break out...perhaps even the destruction of the country.
Liu Feiyang had never thought about this before, but after hearing what his wife said, he felt that this trick was harmful but effective. In this way, the emperor would not focus his attention on them.
"I will write a secret letter and send it to the emperor as quickly as possible."
After saying that, Liu Feiyang ran away so fast that only a shadow was left behind.
At night, just after Ke Xin finished washing up and was about to go to bed, she was woken up by Liu Feiyang. He showed her the secret letter he had written and asked, "Can you take a look at what I wrote?"
"As for the complaint, just read these. You're not a civil servant, so you can't quibble with words." Ke Xin complained, but still took the letter and read it carefully.
Right from the start, he picked out the important things to say, and was vague and alarmist, saying things like there might be a war...
Ke Xin's mouth twitched wildly: "Brother, even if you didn't say it, the emperor would have guessed it. Now that you say this, the emperor doesn't have to guess. After all, you know all about this. If the emperor doesn't know, won't he think he's inferior to you!"
Liu Feiyang: .....
"My lady, what you said makes perfect sense. I'll go and revise it and let the emperor figure it out himself."
Ke Xin shook her head: "This isn't something that requires much thought. It's fine if you just write it down. It's not necessarily true anyway."
Liu Feiyang also thought so, so he asked Xiaowu to send the secret message away using the Flying Eagle method.
In the following days, the couple were very busy.
Jiang Xin and Jiang Fu bought a shop through a broker. The location was not very good, but it was large and the carriage could easily enter and exit the backyard. There was a well and the water drawn from it was cool and delicious.
The house in the backyard is fully equipped with everything you need, so even if you don't go back there at night, you can still stay there, and the kitchen and woodshed are also cleaned.
Jiang Xin liked this place and discussed with Jiang Fu: "Brother, what do you think of this place?"
Jiang Fu looked around and said, "This place is close to the college, so although it's a little quiet, the fruit we sell is mainly sold to Liuji, and other customers are just guests. As long as our fruit is good, we don't have to worry about not having customers."
"I think this place is good and the price is cheap."
Jiang Xin chuckled and said, "I like this place too. Then let's buy it?"
Jiang Fu nodded: "Buy!"
After the two brothers had finished their discussion, they went to find a broker. They were hesitant and flirtatious, and finally the broker was confused by their two-hundred-and-fifty-taels of silver. In the end, the price was lowered by fifty taels, and they bought it for two hundred and fifty taels of silver.
After the purchase, both of them smiled with their eyes narrowed into slits, showing that they were really happy and liked the place very much. The broker realized belatedly that he had been cheated.
He smiled and said, "You two brothers are really good at business. You didn't make any money from this deal today. Next time if you buy something, please introduce me to some customers."
Jiang Fu waved his hand and said, "No problem. I have a few younger brothers who want to buy shops. If you can get a cheaper price, then if you want to eat pickled cabbage and braised meat in the future, just come and I'll give it to you."
The broker, upon hearing this, realized that these items were in high demand for the past two months. "Really? That's no problem. I'll definitely give you the lowest price. But it would be best if you could give me some of that braised pork and pickled cabbage."
"I'm out of pickled cabbage. I'll send you a hundred kilograms this winter. As for the braised pork, come get it when I open my shop. It'll also be a good way to boost my popularity."
The broker didn't expect the brothers to be so hospitable and intelligent. He patted his chest and promised, "No problem. I'll call my friends over when the time comes. I'll definitely give you some publicity."
Jiang Fu bowed to the broker, and the smile on his face became more genuine: "Then I thank you in advance, brother."
The broker waved his hand nonchalantly: "Why thank me? We'll be in town from now on. We'll see each other every day. It's always better to have a friend than an enemy, don't you think?"
"By the way, what do you sell in this shop?"
Jiang Xin watched his elder brother talking to the broker, then went to clean up in the back. He wanted to clean up the shop as soon as possible. His younger sister said that as soon as the shop was ready, she would start supplying fruits to them.
Taking advantage of the cold weather now and the fruits not yet out, if they sell them now, Scorpion Baba will definitely be the first to get them, and it will be easier to make money.
When the broker heard from Jiang Fu that they were selling fruit, he was surprised at first. But when he found out that it would start in a few days, he was even more shocked: "This...they can keep last year's fruit and sell it now?"
How much ice would be needed to cool it down? Wouldn’t this fruit be very expensive?
"It's not last year's fruit, it's this year's fruit, grown in a greenhouse. We started selling strawberries last year. Now that we have time after the Chinese New Year, my brother and I will open a shop specializing in fruit, and later we will sell some preserved fruits and jams."
The broker was so shocked at this moment that he couldn't describe it. After a long while, he remembered that Liu Ji had sold strawberries last year, and it was the only one in the town.
Could it be that...
