Jade spy border

Chapter 83 Business
As a former first-level guard, I know very well the importance of intelligence. Likewise, when I think about intelligence becoming ineffective or even counterproductive, I shudder when I think about it.

That is to say, if you don't pass on the intelligence, at least you will know that there may be something wrong with this espionage channel. If you pass on the intelligence, but all the information comes back is false, it will be a huge disaster.

For a moment, there was no movement in the room, only the scent of tea lingered between the breaths of several people. Mei Wu Niang and Yun Niang were silent for a long time when they saw Mi Yuyan, but their brows were loose and tight, but there was a solemn look on their faces. The color became more and more intense, and they didn't dare to interrupt her. They just looked at Pei Jie and saw Pei Jie gently shaking his head, indicating not to disturb her, so they stopped making any sound, and even drank tea lightly. action.

Mi Yuyan, on the other hand, was like a battle in her previous life that was imminent and needed to predict the enemy's tactics. She unconsciously put herself into the identities of the Linnan Pass guard, the king of Yunan, and the queen of Nanou to consider this matter. The more she thought about it, the more she thought about it. The more frightened you are, because no matter what the possibility is, Linnan Prefecture City will be a battleground!
Mi Yuyan quickly clarified her thoughts. No matter what, she had to find out first whether Dayun's espionage network in Nanou no longer existed or had become a weapon for others.

There was another move, and Mi Yuyan thought she might give it a try. She brought the tea cup she had been holding to her lips, drank the cold tea in one gulp, and then looked up at Mei Wu Niang: "Wu Niang Sister, so your business in Nanou is very difficult right now?"

Seeing that Mi Yuyan, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly spoke up and asked such a question, Mei Wu Niang was a little confused for a moment, and she subconsciously said: "It is indeed a bit difficult. I have also discussed this matter with Mr. Chen, see if it can be solved We can’t find new things from the east and bring them to Nanou, the main thing is to keep the jewelry line intact.”

"Besides the silk brocade and embroidery from the east, what kind of things do Sister Wu Niang think are easier to sell in Nanou? Products like balm, rouge, and balsam, might they be of some use?" Mi Yuyan asked following Mei Wu Niang's words. .

"You don't have to worry about selling these small things, but if you want to really have any big impact, it's hard to say, because the things on the market in Linnan can be regarded as currency in Nanou, but Hua Niang, you gave it to me a few days ago Chen Sanye's batch of purple cherry incense is quite rare, but most people can't afford such a good thing, so they can only use it as a favor, and even doing favors has other difficulties..." Mei Wuniang answered truthfully. .

Mi Yuyan pondered for a moment before saying, "In that case, I'll go back and find some rouge powder to see if there's anything I can do. To be honest with Sister Wu Niang, my eldest uncle is the legitimate daughter of the Meng family. , now the head of the Meng family is her biological brother, if Sister Wu Niang needs this supply, I can think of a way."

The Linnan Meng family is a large family that specializes in making things like rouge balm. It basically accounts for more than five-fifths of Linnan Prefecture’s shipments. What’s rare is that the Meng family has some top-notch products in every category they make. For example, when it comes to rouge color matching, they can refine it to more than ten or twenty colors. Some colors cannot be found by others no matter how they imitate them. To put it bluntly, all you need to do is buy the right color and apply it on your face. , there will always be some unexpected surprises.

The female country of Nan Ou has a strong sun, long days and short nights all year round, and the people in the country have dark and rough skin. Meng's rouge powder sells very well in Nan Ou because it can make the skin look fairer and more delicate. , and still have a layer of faint luster.

Mei Wu Niang showed a wry smile: "It would be a great thing if we can really get the best products from the Meng family, but the Meng family also has regular customers. Every year, they place an order before they can pick up the goods. Even so, we have to queue up. Let's try it. Queuing up, even if Mr. Chen comes forward, we can only schedule delivery. By the time our goods can clear the customs, other people's goods will have already been filled..."

"It's all business, and there must be many people coming to visit. The Meng family can only set the rules. If we do this, I'm afraid we will embarrass Lady Meng."

Mi Yuyan smiled: "It is naturally difficult to only give orders. If we give orders and prescriptions at the same time, we can also directly give this prescription to the Meng family. Sister Wu Niang, do you think there is any hope?"

"Listen to Hua Niang, are you still good at this?" Mei Wu Niang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows high.Mi Yuyan smiled and shook her head: "I can't say that I am good at this. I just read a few idle books when I was at the mountain gate. There are some accounts of this kind. I will go back to find some things from the Meng family to see if there is anything. If there is any reason for it, I will ask my uncle to build this bridge for Sister Wu Niang."

"But if not, I can only work harder on the incense to see if I can make something new so that Sister Wu Niang can take it to Nanou to keep this business."

Mei Wu Niang has long passed the age of innocence. She knows very well that after Mi Yuyan pondered for almost half an hour, she suddenly decided to put in all this effort not just to help her keep the business. Of course, She also knows very well what to ask and what not to ask. When it is time for her to know, she will naturally be informed.

"Sister Wu Niang, don't worry. Business is business. I will never embarrass Sister Wu Niang." Mi Yuyan just glanced at Mei Wu Niang and knew what she was thinking, so she reassured her.

Instead, Mei Wu Niang smiled and shook her head: "I don't care about this. It's just a business anyway. If you can't even save your family, the business will be nothing more than a mirror."

Hearing this, Mi Yuyan couldn't help but look up at Mei Wu Niang: "Does Sister Wu Niang have anything to say?"

Mei Wu Niang bit her lip, looked at Pei Jie and Yun Niang, and then looked at Mi Yuyan, as if she had made up her mind: "This is something that happened before A Jie came back. I have been I wasn’t sure, so no one dared to say anything. It turns out that the person responsible for escorting the goods was the only bandit who survived in the former village besides Yun Niang and me. "

"That year, he escorted the goods from Nanou to Sabi Port. At night on the Sabi pier, he saw a few people from the dark city chatting happily with Sabi officials. He became suspicious. He asked our fleet to come back first, and he stayed there alone. After exploring for a long time, he found that the Whirlpool Undercity often transported people and ordnance there."

Yun Niang stared straight at Mei Wu Niang with wide eyes, while Pei Jie didn't know what to make of her expression. Mi Yuyan couldn't help but ask: "Is this person alive or dead now? Where is he?"

Mei Wu Niang looked at Yun Niang, who had bitten her lip until it bled, and replied truthfully: "He, he is still in Sabi..."

"Is he still alive? Girl, why did you lie to me that he was dead?" Yun Niang finally asked tremblingly.

"He said that for our safety, it would be better to cut off contact. Ever since the day he left the fleet, I don't know if he has been targeted by others. He doesn't want us to take this risk..." Mei Wu Niang's voice also changed. Somewhat choked up.
