When I just got divorced, I was overheard

Chapter 544 Fu Yuehua calls him home to say hello

"Zhuqing Pond?" Li Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had missed something.

Seeing Li Xiuzhu's confusion, Nongyue explained: "The sisters negotiated and built a bathing pool, which vacated the west wing of the backyard. There is a fireplace around the pool, and you can light a fire from outside to keep it warm."

Good guy, you are developing new gameplay while I am not at home.

At this time, Fu Yuehua suddenly said: "Husband, if you have time, remember to go and say hello. Father and mother miss you."

Li Xiuzhu hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

"Miss me? Is it better to die if you miss me?"

But Fu Yuehua has said so, what can he say?
"Well, I will go when I have time."

Fu Yuehua smiled when he heard this, and are you playing word games with me?
"Then let's go once before leaving."

"If it weren't for my mother's illness, I wouldn't be able to do anything about it..."

Li Xiuzhu understood, it turned out to be because of this.

"Well, it's also possible..."

What more can he say?
After dinner, Li Xiuzhu experienced how big Li Liuli's big one was.

Anyway, the whole backyard of the palace was quiet the next day. As for the troublemakers Fu Baozhu and Fu Yanyu, they were taken home by Yun Shuang last night.

Li Xiuzhu left the yard in the afternoon and went to meet her grandfather with Li Biyao.

The old man looked kind, but that was just the look. Li Xiuzhu felt that the old man wanted to kill him.

Because Dao couldn't hide his eyes alone, even if he smiled and looked happy.

When Li Biyao went to the flower room, the old man's expression suddenly changed.

Li Xiuzhu secretly sighed at the smiling tiger, and asked preemptively: "The old man doesn't like me?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly.

"Hmph, do you think I should like you?"

"I heard that you have dozens of concubines in your family, and you also have a woman from a manor outside?"

Well, we should count them as two manors now. There are too many Wang family members, so we simply bought one on a nearby farm.

Including the gardens under development, he should have three.

"So? I don't seem to be missing a bite of Baguio."

"I don't want to think about it. I have taken care of so many women. If I only treat Baguio well, or only have three or five wives, will it be a good thing or a disaster for them?"

The old man was stunned when he heard the words, and he felt a little bit reasonable.

"This……"

Should not be ah.

"That……"

What do you want to say about this and that?He had nothing to say. Seeing that the old man could not answer the question, Li Xiuzhu did not embarrass the old man and directly changed the topic and said, "Old man, let's talk about food."

"The one hundred cartloads of food in the capital are not enough. We have to trouble our family to deliver it twice more. But from now on, don't go by land."

"The land transport requires too many manpower. Now that the canal from Suzhou and Hangzhou to Shangjing has been opened, I suggest transporting it by fleet."

"If the old man is serious, he can form an alliance with the Zheng family of Suzhou and Hangzhou, so that the cost of the fleet can be shared equally."

"Of course we are a family, and the old man can also live alone and build a large fleet to transport things by himself."

"In addition to food, there are many things that can be transported in the north-south trade." "We can discuss what the master thinks in this regard."

Hearing Li Xiuzhu say this, the old man was silent for a while, and then he said: "I promised you to buy food from Siam just to help you, my grandson-in-law, and the people of the world."

“But since it’s profitable, we won’t take all the money we’re given.”

"As for the fleet, I want to hear your opinion. Apart from being a woman, I am still impressed by the other things you do, as an old guy."

"And we are all members of the same family. I, the old guy, believe in you."

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said: "My suggestion is to partner with the Zheng family. First of all, the Zheng family is a local leader in Suhang. With their cooperation, there will basically be no big surprises from Lingnan to Suhang."

"Furthermore, the fleet can only reach Suzhou and Hangzhou at most. If we want to do it without them, our family must first regain a foothold in Suhang and then build the fleet. This time and energy will be doubled."

"So it is better to cooperate directly. You will be responsible for the escort from Siam to Suhang and the Zheng family will be responsible for the escort from Suhang to Beijing."

"We have shared the risk and the distance. As for the income, I think the Zheng family will agree if the old man gives up [-]% of the profit."

"Twenty percent profit? So little?"

You must know that the price of grain in Siam is less than half of the price in Dazhou, so he can make a lot of money by shipping it to Shangjing at a profit of [-]% lower than the market price. Unexpectedly, he can complete Yangzhou with only [-]% of the profit. Go to Shangjing.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and explained: "Water transport not only saves people, but also saves carriages and horses for transporting goods. Therefore, the Zheng family should be able to make a profit of [-]%. This price will definitely not exceed [-]% of your profit."

Hearing Li Xiuzhu's words, the old man was happy.

"Good boy, grandpa recognizes you as his grandson-in-law."

"But how long can this be done?"

After hearing this, Li Xiuzhu thought for a while and said, "I think I can do it for a few years or more."

"I won't hide it from you. This year, the imperial court may attack Siam and other nearby small countries and take over their food industry."

“But there should be no free space for transportation.”

"You will definitely still be needed to escort the shipment by then, but the profit may not be as high as it is now, or the goods may not be as abundant as now."

"But then it will be enough to give the Zheng family [-]% of the profit. It is always profitable."

When he heard that Siam and other small countries were about to be attacked, the old man frowned.

"When is this going to happen? I can let our people withdraw first."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this, and said pointedly: "It depends on when you can finish moving the food."

The old man was startled when he heard this, and then he laughed.

"You little guy."

"Okay, I'll arrange for them to transport the grain back as soon as possible after I get back, and transport it to Lingnan first. When it's all in Lingnan, we will then move around."

Li Xiuzhu smiled.

If there is a war, not to mention the price of food after winning, the amount of food lost by Siam and other countries during the war may not be a small amount. When the time comes to ship the food, the price of food may rise.

As for you saying you spend money to buy it now, you can get it without spending money later.

Wouldn't it be the same if it were exchanged for silver?They have all been robbed to the palace. There is not much difference between silver and food. Anyway, they will be transported back when the time comes, but the food obtained this way will obviously be more.

Li Xiuzhu had dinner with the old man and then left. He spent yesterday at home and went to the palace today.

Don't worry if it's late, he doesn't go through the main entrance, he always climbs over the wall, it doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later.

He went to Ruan Wenjun first. Ruan Wenjun seemed to be waiting for him. As soon as he came in, he saw Ruan Wenjun already lying down.
