Wei and Jin Cooks

   "That was all two months ago, and the calculated accounts can no longer be counted, but please be blunt, your public account is not much money anymore."

   And the gold, silver, jewelry and solitary paintings and calligraphy brought back by Fu Tinghan went into Zhao Hanzhang's warehouse, but they could not be used yet.

  Zhao Hanzhang grinded his teeth, and Fu Tinghan went to see what he brought back. She grabbed a dozen pearls in her hands and sighed: "If this thing was in prosperity, it would be worth a lot of money."

   But now is a chaotic world, these precious pearls are not worth much in the north, but in Liangjiang and Jiangnan, which are still relatively stable, they are worth a lot of money.

   Zhao Hanzhang put down the pearls, "Send them to Jiangnan, and return them with food and cloth."

   She lacks these two things the most now.

   Fu Tinghan asked, "Aren't you going to leave something behind? I think some of the jewelry in it is pretty nice."

   Zhao Hanzhang looked away with difficulty, shook his head and said, "I don't like these luxurious things."

  Fu Tinghan just looked at her and smiled, how could she not like it?

   There is no girl who will not like these shiny and beautiful jewelry, but because she is in a special position now, she cannot be extravagant.

   She has very few headdresses. Most of the time, she only has a jade crown and a hosta, and sometimes she doesn't even have a hosta, and only a hair band is used to tie her hair.

Gao Hui brought back very little gold and silver, not even a lot of gold and silver jewelry. Generally, no one wants to take out and use those things, so they keep them all. Only when the other things on hand are almost spent, or the other party really asks to use them. Gold and silver payment, only then will someone use gold and silver.

  Because there are few, Zhao Hanzhang didn't dare to take it to buy something with Gao Hui, and turned the thing back to him. Anyone with no brains would know that it was given to her by Fu Tinghan.

  Because he was really short of money, Zhao Hanzhang had to find out all the gold and silver jewelry, put them together with the few pieces of gold and silver, and said, "Fix it."

  Fu Tinghan: "The craftsmanship of these gold and silver jewelry is also very expensive. If you resell it, you will get more than that."

   "But the cycle is too long," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Now in Luoyang City, how many people are willing to buy these accessories? It takes time to send them to other places, and we can't afford to wait."

   She waved her hand very simply: "Melting it."

  Fu Tinghan nodded, "Then I'll go to the iron shop tomorrow."

  The iron shop in the workshop can melt gold and silver, as well as molds, which can be melted into strips. It was made by Fu Tinghan after Gao Hui came back last time.

   Early the next morning, Zhao Hanzhang asked Tinghe to go to the market to buy sheep. Because he had no money, Tinghe had to carry out a piece of cloth that he used to make clothes for Zhao Erlang and Fu Tinghan.

  The quality of the cloth was good. After the two sides negotiated the price, Ting He fiercely bought eight sheep with one cloth, picked out the fattest two and killed them, and kept the rest in the backyard.

   Watching Ting He leave, the guy in charge of selling the goods patted his chest for more than a season, "Miss Ting He is so fierce, isn't she from the governor's mansion, why is she like this..." stingy.

   The guards who have been standing silently on the side don't say anything. If it wasn't for Gao Langjun saying that in order to be safe in the north, they couldn't communicate with the girl clearly. In fact, these sheep should be sent to the girl's house for nothing.

   Alas, anyway, he doesn't understand why it is clearly his own thing, but he insists on buying and selling, and pays so much tax to the county government in vain.

   Just as he was thinking, the yamen came over with a gong, flipped through the animal furs on their table, and asked, "Have you paid the stall fee?"

   The guy in charge of the sales immediately nodded and said: "I have paid, I have paid, you see, this is the proof."

  The yamen looked at it and handed it back to him, but he didn't leave, "Your master is so courageous, so many furs are imported from the north, right? Is there chaos over there?"

The man was recruited by Gao Hui, and he was considered a confidant of Gao Hui. He was also with the team, so he knew about the business affairs. He nodded immediately and said, "Crap, when we entered the Shangdang, the Xiongnu and the Huns inside. Both Jie Hu are fierce. They often fight in the street and rob things. Fortunately, our guards are strong, and our husband has some means. We were not robbed, but it also cost a lot of money. On the way back, we encountered bandits again, alas , Don't talk about making money this time, it's good if you don't lose money."

  The yamen can't believe it, if they lose money, how can they laugh so happily?

   Zhao Kuan also noticed the caravan, and after the yamen left, he went back to the county government to report.

   Zhao Kuan once again took a look at Gao Hui's Lu Yin, frowned, "A native of Shu?"

"The land of Shu is much more peaceful than our Luoyang, why didn't he go directly to the land of Shu, but sell goods in our Luoyang?" Zhao Kuan frowned, "It was the same last time, and what kind of goods did he buy from Luoyang last time? "

   There was something to look for. Wang Siniang glanced at him and went to the record silently. First, he looked through the approved road guide record to find the time of his departure, and then went to the tax record for that time.

   There is only a brief introduction above, "cloth."

   Zhao Kuan: "Only cloth?"

"Yes, and there are only two cars," Wang Siniang showed him. "It's silk and satin from Shu. Now every household in Luoyang is observing filial piety. There are still sales for meat and linen, but brocade and silk are very difficult to sell, and the price is also high. Not very high."

Wang Siniang also frowned, "Judging from what they brought back this time, the two carts of silk and satin exchanged for these sheep, furs and medicinal materials are indeed about the same value, and he has to make some money every time he goes in and goes out, but see the dossier. According to the record, he brought so many people into the city yesterday, and he even suffered a lot of casualties. He did two carts of silk and satin in one trip, did he earn enough tolls?"

   Zhao Kuan patted the table and said, "So I say they have a problem."

   Wang Siniang asked, "What's the problem?"

   Zhao Kuan's eyes widened, how did he know what the problem was?

Fan Ying took two official documents over to convey Zhao Hanzhang's meaning, and after listening for a few words, interrupted: "What else could be wrong, he has other transactions outside the city, and every time he leaves the city, he must have picked up another batch of goods. To the north, when he comes back, he won't check the goods when he comes back to the city gate, right?"

   In order to encourage business travelers to enter Luo, Zhao Hanzhang waived the policy of surveying the city gates and only collected taxes at the market.

   Therefore, if the merchants entering Luo cannot sell their goods, they will not be taxed.

   This made the merchants who were afraid of the city tax to enter Luo, no longer need to be afraid of losing a lot of money before selling things.

   At the same time, Gucheng, Xin'an and other counties also strictly implemented Zhao Hanzhang's orders. As for other counties, Zhao Hanzhang also ordered, but some complied and some did not.

  Because there is no city entry tax, there is no indication of the goods entering the city, and how much, so Zhao Kuan sent someone to the horse market to inquire.

   Zhao Kuan thought a lot for a moment, "You mean, someone smuggled in Luoyang?"

  Fan Ying said not very concerned: "Let's go, let's go, Luoyang is now in ruins, you don't have to be strict in these things, oh, by the way, except for salt and iron."

   Zhao Kuan and Wang Siniang:…
