Chapter 49 Cargo Ship
But thinking about my current family, there is nothing worth cheating, so for the sake of money, I gritted my teeth and agreed.

"You can wait for me at the pier outside the city afterwards. If you trust me, you can bring your family with you, or you can pick up your family later." Su Tang said.

"Oh." The one-legged man quickly responded, and respectfully handed over the parts in his hand to Su Tang.

Thinking that the woman in front of her was beautiful and kind-hearted, the village she was in would definitely not be a villain.

Until Su Tang walked away, the blacksmith shop with the closed door behind the one-legged man opened it again with a bang, and the angry man just poked his head out, "You are really lucky, you are ten taels of silver a month. "

The big man glanced at him, "Don't make sarcastic remarks here, are you willing to earn this money?"

Seeing the man shaking his head like a rattle, the big man let out a long breath. If it weren't for the fact that the family couldn't get rid of the pot, who would want to work in that bandit's den who didn't know when he lost his life.

No matter how much money is given, it must be spent with life.

Su Tang didn't walk very far, and it was the shop that he wanted to see today. It was located in the middle of the city street. The wide road in front of the gate led directly to the city gates on the east and west sides. The location was excellent.

The most important thing is that this place is not very far from the yamen. If someone comes to the store with jealousy to make trouble, the people from the yamen can also rush here to deal with it as quickly as possible.

The ruddy businessman surnamed Jia had been standing at the door of the shop waiting for a long time ago. Now that there are so many empty shops in Yanyang City, it is very difficult to sell. Now that someone comes to see him, it is thanks to his cargo ship. Otherwise, I am afraid that the shop will not be sold if it is smashed in the hands.

However, what he didn't expect was that within a few years, it would be hard to find a shop in Yanyang City, and he would regret selling such a good location shop today until he could not sleep every night.

Seeing Su Tang walking in his direction, Jia Shang hastily greeted him, "But the girl wants to see the shop and the cargo ship?"

"It's me." Su Tang smiled politely.

"Please come inside, please come inside." Jia Shang immediately put on a smiling face and greeted him cautiously. In order to make a good impression on the buyers, he asked someone to clean up the shop yesterday.

This store has three floors, and it is extremely spacious when you walk inside. It covers an area of ​​three to four hundred square meters. In places like the border, land is the least valuable, so the area of ​​stores in the city is not small.

The first floor sells common goods, the second floor is used to sell valuable artworks, and the third floor can be used to stock up on goods, work, or live. In this way, the shop is very suitable both in terms of location and size.

"How do you plan to sell this shop?" Su Tang asked aloud.

"My shop has just been refurbished a few years ago, and the location is good. If the girl is willing to buy it, how about 3000 taels?" Jia Shang asked carefully, for fear that Su Tang would turn around and leave if he was unhappy, "Of course the price is negotiable, okay. discuss."

Su Tang has a general understanding of the price. According to the price of 3000 taels, it is indeed a bit inflated.

"Why don't you see how the cargo ship is, if you can, I'll tell you the real price. The cargo ship and this store are sold to the girl for a total of 5000 taels of silver. My cargo ship is probably new, and it's definitely a bargain." Jia Shang saw Su Tang's face was dark, Seemingly hesitating, he quickly changed his words.

He was really afraid that he would scare away the buyer and end up in his hands. He would rather sell it at a low price and exchange it for silver.

"Okay, let's take a look at the boat first." Su Tang said, as long as the shop is suitable and the price is not too high, she has no intention of countering the price, after all, life is really not easy for ordinary people.

Several people took a horse-drawn carriage to the Yanyun River, downstream of the installation of the waterwheel, there was a small pier, and small boats in twos and threes were docked on the shore. Jiashang's 20-meter-long cargo ship was particularly conspicuous, and the entire ship was made of logs. The color, the space inside the hull is very large, and it can hold a lot of goods.

Su Tang was very satisfied, and immediately counted the bank notes to conclude the deal.

"This is the boatman I hired. Miss, if necessary, you can continue to hire him to sail the boat." The merchant smiled happily and introduced a thin man to Su Tang, and left happily with the bank note.

The boatman hurriedly greeted Su Tang actively. With the closure of Jiashang's shop, he had been drinking northwest wind for several months. Now that he finally had a new shopkeeper, he naturally had to perform well and strive to be able to help her sail. livelihood.

"I'm good at sailing boats. I've been sailing boats for shopkeeper Jia for several years, and I've been to many places." The boatman tried his best to sell himself.

It would be much more convenient to have someone who can sail a boat, so Su Tang agreed. At this moment, he saw the one-legged man coming here with a package on his back and a stick.

Su Tang asked Yingyue to order another 3000 taels of silver bills for Wu Chong, "Go and get 3000 taels of Wen silver, drive the cargo ship back to the stockade, and hand the silver to Li Sheng, and ask him to settle the wages owed to the stockade first." After a while, you will stay in the stockade to garrison, so I can rest assured, just let Liu Zhonglin help me."

It takes a day to walk from Yanyang City to Fufengzhai, but now it is much more convenient and faster to have a boat.

"Yes." Wu Chong replied.

"Also, you help the blacksmith build an iron smelting furnace, and help him with whatever he needs. The main thing is to make the parts as soon as possible."

Su Tang handed the parts of the grenade to Wu Chong, and after the iron furnace was built, he could hand it over to the blacksmith, and then looked at the blacksmith who was struggling to jump onto the boat with his left leg, and Su Tang took care of him.

Wu Chong couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to pull him up, and introduced him, "This is the village owner of our village, and I am the second head of the village owner."

The blacksmith was startled, he only thought that this beautiful girl was in charge of the village, but he didn't expect it to be the owner of the village, so he hurriedly saluted respectfully, "I've met the owner of the village, my name is Shi Tiechui."

"Okay, from now on, we will be in the same village, just a family, so don't be so cautious." Su Tang said, "You wait here for a while, Wu Chong will go to the city to do something and then go to the village."

"Oh, that's fine." Seeing that the village masters were so accommodating, Shi Tiechui felt relieved, so he sat on the deck and stared at the boatman.

Wu Chong drove the carriage to the city to fetch silver, while Su Tang and Yingyue walked slowly to the city to see how the potatoes were growing.

The common people should have seen the notice in the new post in the city, saying that the potato is sick, and also described the symptoms, and they need to be treated with lime. They all ran to the field to check, and if they had the symptoms described in the notice, they quickly went to find lime. Sa, everyone looks at the potatoes as if they are baby bumps, nervous and distressed.

Su Tang took a look. These potatoes will probably be harvested after a few days until the land dries up a bit. The people who are busy spreading lime in the field are also very happy and chat with each other.
