Chapter 97
"Do you have an idea?"

Second Lady Qi turned her side to Sheng Jiaojiao, her eyes filled with trust.

This is the case in Zhishou County. Many people will die in winter. In previous years, there was no war. When people died, they would be buried after crying for a while.

But this year we are fighting, the situation is more tense, and more people want to die.

If more people die, there will be chaos. At that time, everyone will know that the Qi family is a rich family, and they will come to beg for food and drink.

What can the Qi family do?At that time, the Qi family will watch the people outside starve to death, die of illness, and the Qi family will take care of it?If you take care of one, will you also take care of all the victims who will come to beg for food and medicine?

The land of the Qi family was also buried in the snow. In the middle of winter, Shang could only save himself, but he was far from capable of saving the entire Zhishou County.

Sheng Jiaojiao curled her lips and analyzed:

"We don't care too much. Zhishou County can't save it. It's still possible to stabilize the villages of Tiaoma Lake. People will die. It's nothing more than freezing to death, starving to death, sickness, and second brother. Doesn't the second brother know a lot of shopkeepers who travel all over the country? We can use them now. gone."

Before Qi Ming joined the army, he mentioned the names of many people, and told Sheng Jiaojiao a place where the merchants would gather and distribute. Many merchants would exchange goods at this place.

Seeing that the first snow in winter was about to fall, Sheng Jiaojiao discussed with Mrs. Qi Er, thinking of visiting this distribution center.

The Qi family can use the money in their hands to buy large quantities of grain from the wandering peddlers, and then sell it at a low price, so as to suppress the price of grain in Tiaoma Lake, and at least let those who cannot afford high-priced grain , without breaking the bank.

Among them, the Qi family naturally wants to make money, but if they make a little less money and are not greedy, it is right to earn hard work.

Miss Qi Er thought about it, felt that this move was feasible, and asked worriedly:
"Will those peddlers transport grain all the way to Tiaoma Lake in Zhishou County and sell it to us cheaply? Besides, where do we have so much money to hoard grain in large quantities?"

Because Zhishou County is on the northern border of Daze, grain merchants and medicine merchants need to obtain the approval of the imperial capital when they come to Daze to do business.

Because they were afraid that the food and medicinal materials would be bought by the subjects.

And big grain merchants and medicine merchants will be controlled by the imperial capital, and they are not allowed to easily enter Zhishou County. If they do business with people in Zhishou County, they must report to the imperial capital for approval.

They are afraid that the people of the vassal state will pretend to be people from Zhishou County and collude with the grain merchants and drug dealers in Daze to provide blood transfusions to the vassal state.

Doing business with Daze's military camp requires even more caution.

The military camp can raise supplies from the people, but it must never maintain a close cooperative relationship with such a source of big businessmen.

It means that maybe at the beginning, because of the urgent military situation, the barracks could contact the source merchants and ask them to supply the barracks, but after reporting the regulations and the emperor came forward to pay for the barracks, the business between these source merchants and the barracks would be banned. The emperor accepted it.

According to this statute, Sheng Jiaojiao would not even think about hooking up with Chen Xiong for the rest of his life. Even if he hooked up, he would be supervised by the imperial capital in time.

But who let her know Chen Adi?Chen Adi is one of the variables.

The luggage of the imperial capital of Daze has not yet been transported to Zhishou County, and even the imperial capital has not yet ordered a war with Shu, so there is no warlord at this time.

Without the Overseer, there are too many things to do.

In terms of medicinal materials, the Qi family can buy more from Chen Adi to drive down the price of medicinal materials in Tiaoma Lake to the point where they can't afford it.

In terms of grain, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't find a big grain merchant with a heart of benevolence and righteousness to match.

Then we can only find a peddler to bring grain into Tiaoma Lake in small batches.

A peddler can bring several carts of grain, and countless peddlers can carry countless carts of grain.

This time, Sheng Jiaojiao decided to play big.

But because the peddlers bring grain into Zhishou County in small batches, it will bring a big disadvantage. The price of grain offered by each peddler is different. price.

And just as Mrs. Qi said, the Qi family doesn't have that much money, so they buy food in large quantities.

In the warm hall, Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Mrs. Qi Er with some cruelty in her eyes, and said with a smile:

"I have a way, we can borrow money from the military camp."

As she said that, Sheng Jiaojiao waved her hand and asked Mrs. Qi to come closer. In the bustling Qi family hall, she whispered:
"The most valuable thing in Zhishou County is the fur. Big Brother and Jilang fought a few victories, and most of his hands are the furs of the vassal state."

This trip to the north of the county, Sheng Jiaojiao has gained a lot, at least she knows exactly what Qizhang and Tan Ji have in their hands.

Further north of the dependent country, there is a large wilderness, where there are many wild animals suitable for the local environment.

Therefore, the dependent country is rich in fur.

A large part of Qi Zhang and Tan Ji's trophies were leather goods.

If all the furs in Qi Zhang and Tan Ji's hands were given to the shopkeeper, and the money in the hands of the shopkeeper was transferred to Sheng Jiaojiao's hands, wouldn't it be a turnaround?
"Are you crazy?!"

In the lively main room, Miss Qi suddenly yelled, she was terrified by Sheng Jiaojiao's courage.

The entire lively main room fell silent for a moment, and everyone in the Qi family looked at Sheng Jiaojiao and Mrs. Qi Er.

Sheng Jiaojiao pursed her lips, tilted her head, and straightened her clothes, as if nothing had happened.

The second lady Qi was surprised that she had lost her composure, and looked at the people in the room, and when everyone started to talk on their own, she moved closer to Sheng Jiaojiao, and quietly squeezed out a few words from between her teeth,
"Daze has no mutual market with the vassal state. If you sell a large amount of fur goods from the vassal state without permission, if you are caught by the imperial capital, you will be killed!"

"If we don't do it, will there be fewer people doing it?"

Sheng Jiaojiao lowered her eyes, picked up the teacup on the small table in her hand, lifted the lid of the tea with her slender fingers, slowly fiddled with the tea leaves floating on the water, and said softly:
"Look at the market, throughout the year, how many subjects of the country disguised themselves as Daze people, went to the market to sell their furs, and how many peddlers secretly collected furs in the market. If we sell our furs, we don’t say where the furs come from, and those peddlers will not cut themselves off from their sources of income and offer us up.”

After all, some retail investors are collecting leather goods. They are unorganized and have no background. One person collects [-] or [-] pieces of leather.

What's more, Sheng Jiaojiao didn't intend to let the Qi family come forward to sell fur goods.

She is looking for an agent.

"Who should I ask for this matter? I dare not."

The second lady of Qi was sweating down her back, she felt that Sheng Jiaojiao's handwriting was too big this time, and her ability to pull clouds and tricks was too great, so she was a little afraid to follow.

Sheng Jiaojiao lowered her head with a smile, took a sip of tea, raised her eyes and glanced at Zhou who was sitting opposite her,

"Isn't my aunt going to talk to that Nest Sect?"

In this matter, the profit-seeking Nest Sect must follow.

The two discussed, and after a while, Qi Ming came back on horseback.

Sure enough, Qi Zhang was not free, so he only asked Uncle Qi to bring a message to Sheng Jiaojiao. The family didn't need to be so formal, and he could feel at ease whether he read it or not. The rest were all given to Sheng Jiaojiao as business capital.

Erlang actually meant the same thing, but he is a shrewd person. The business of the Qi family is getting bigger and bigger. In order to be fair, he still needs to go through the accounts.

Among other things, the Qi family now has four houses, including Miss Qi's house, plus an old lady. Most of the family's business is run by the second house and Sheng Jiaojiao, and the rest are under Sheng Jiaojiao's arrangements.

Only when this account is settled, will there be fewer gaps in the family in the future.

The villain next to him who wants to do bad things has nowhere to make trouble.

Sheng Jiaojiao and Qi Ming had the same idea. After the family was busy until midnight, Qi Ming went through all the accounts before asking Qi Rong to open the cash box and count the capital and interest.

As soon as several large boxes were opened, the Qi family's eyes widened.

They didn't expect that their family had made so much money in the past half a year.

There are several large boxes and cages full of money, which makes people unbelievable.

Counting money is a laborious job, while Qi Ming looks at the account, he entrusts this matter to the rest of the Qi family. With so many people in the Qi family, each counts part of the money and takes out the capital, which is what each house should divide. interest.

The capital was divided into three parts, one part was the money that Qi Zhang took home when he checked the blacksmith shop, the other part was the money Qi Ming brought back after running a business, and the other part was actually Sheng Jiaojiao's money.

When Qi Ming checked the accounts, he took a look at Sheng Jiaojiao and asked with a smile:

"Where did you get your money?"

"The source of my capital here is complicated. There are my mother's body, my grandma's coffin book, the wages of my three uncles, and the interest I should share these days. Son."

Sheng Jiaojiao said casually, half-truth and half-false, and the three aunts listening, Miss Qi and Old Madam Qi nodded repeatedly to testify.

The two of them gave a lot of money a few days ago, Miss Qi's body was given to Sheng Jiaojiao, old lady Qi's coffin book, and even the money Qi Zhang Xiaojing gave her were also given to Sheng Jiaojiao.

The wages for the three uncles to escort the luggage were not given by the uncle himself, but by the three aunts to Sheng Jiaojiao.

At that time, when the family members saw that Sheng Jiaojiao was doing business, they were afraid that she would not have enough capital, so they thought of ways to give her money.

Originally, Sheng Jiaojiao didn't intend to take the money given by Miss Qi and Mrs. Qi, but the two repeatedly said that it was the money from the dealer and that interest would be calculated in the end.

Therefore, Sheng Jiaojiao's part of the capital was subdivided into everyone in the family.

Qi Ming looked at Sheng Jiaojiao's tent here and felt dizzy.

After finally finishing Sheng Jiaojiao's personal account, he pushed the account book away and quit.
"This is your private account. You can look at it yourself next year. I won't interfere with your account. It's too complicated."

Sheng Jiaojiao just sat drinking tea and didn't answer Qi Ming's words.

After Qi Ming finished sorting out these books, he just sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest, while the rest of the family counted the money.

During this time, Mrs. Qi Er called Qi Ming back to the house, and had a conversation with him. When he came out again, Qi Ming looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with his eyes, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so brave." so fat" expression.

Sheng Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, pretending not to see it.

When it was time to distribute the interest money, each house joyfully held its own money with principal and interest, took out part of it for use, and then transferred the rest back into the cage for Er Niang Qi to keep the accounts. The capital was re-purchased.

Seeing the capital doubled several times, Sheng Jiaojiao sat on the chair, leaning over to drink tea calmly.

Each room was holding a pile of private money and talking happily, Qi Ming came up at this moment, stretched out his finger, and poked Sheng Jiaojiao's forehead,
"Buying and selling foreign fur goods is a matter of beheading, and you dare to do it. If this matter is revealed, the eldest brother and your Jilang will both be hungry and walk away."

Sheng Jiaojiao's head was tilted from the poke, she sat up straight, reached out to touch her forehead that was sore from the poke, and looked at Qi Ming with cunning in her eyes,

"What does this have to do with Big Brother and Ji Lang? Chao Zong insisted on buying these furs. Big Brother and Ji Lang didn't know what Chao Zong was doing to buy them, and who said that these furs were all seized from the vassal state Can't the sons of our jumping horse lake fight by themselves? Each son fights dozens of skins, wanting to exchange some military pay and reward the lieutenant soldiers, what's wrong with this? Chaozong wants to make this money, of course Take that risk."

"You want to get rid of them? The Chao Sect is not that capable, let the big brother and the Ji brother sell him the fur in their hands."

Qi Ming guessed Sheng Jiaojiao's plan from Er Niangqi's few words, he is really a shrewd person, it is nothing more than Sheng Jiaojiao asking Chaozong to take matters into his own hands.

At that time, if the matter is exposed, Chaozong will be the middleman, and it has nothing to do with the big brother and Tan Ji, nor the Qi family.

It's all the Nest Sect who wants to make money.

Chaozong is very good at using this person, he is the person who abolished the crown prince, and he is also the younger brother of Chao Lai, an aide of the abolished prince's mansion, if he is exposed, Chao Lai will help cover it up for fear of implicating the abolished prince.

But how does Chaozong go to get in touch with Qi Zhang and Tan Ji?This is not easy to do, you can't directly recommend Chaozong to Qi Zhang and Tan Ji.

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Qi Ming, propped her chin with one hand, and smiled at Qi Ming:

"Second elder brother is so smart, so he can naturally make this thread seamless, not only letting Chao Sect take the initiative, but also picking second elder brother out."

What this means is that Qi Ming came to think of a way to ask Chao Zong to contact the shopkeeper, and to get Qi Zhang and Tan Ji together.

Qi Ming stared at Sheng Jiaojiao, frowned and thought for a while, then said in a low voice:

"You did too much in this game."

Sheng Jiaojiao's purpose was to ask for a large amount of money to buy food, so she did not hesitate to go to the military camp, intending to borrow money from the military camp.

The military camp didn't have that much money, so Sheng Jiaojiao helped out one after another, trying to find a way to sell the fur goods stored in the military camp, and took the money from the fur goods to go around to buy food.

The purpose of hoarding a large amount of grain is only to level off the price of grain in Tiaoma Lake.
