MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 623 What are you afraid of
Chapter 623 What are you afraid of?
The horsemen of the Qin Family Trading Company had just changed guard with the guards. The guards had been on guard all night and now returned to the empty house in the village to catch up on their sleep. There was only one steward in the camp who took the horsemen to count the goods.
The situation was critical last night, and we had to abandon the car to block the cliff path to prevent the gangsters from entering. Although the gangsters had escaped in the end, they did a lot of damage before leaving. The goods on the five or six carriages parked at the front were Was pushed down the cliff.
Fortunately, the carriages at the rear were originally carrying the luggage of everyone in the convoy and other things for camping and cooking. We took advantage of the dawn to pick up everything we could, so the loss was not heavy.
That is to say, when you enter a town, you will have to spend a sum of money to replace these things.
A large caravan like theirs has a large number of people. Unless they have agreed that the trade transfer point is in a certain city, they generally will not enter the city. They usually choose to rest in an inn near Guanyi. It is also common to sleep in the wild. .
So, lost items are indispensable treasures for travel.
The steward looked at the damaged items that he had picked up and scolded the eighteen generations of these bad guys in his heart. He felt more distressed than the lost goods.
Liu Ji crossed his arms and came forward. He glanced here and there and was secretly surprised. This Qin family caravan was far richer than he thought.
This carriage is actually carrying salt!
When the brotherhood is strong, he wants to give his heart to each other. In less than two quarters of an hour, Liu Ji has already found out a lot of information about Qin Feng from the steward.
There is also a lot of leather and wool, which are both good things.
The person in charge of the affairs said Liu Juren on the left, Master Liu on the right, and Liu Ji. It was his greatest honor to be able to talk to him and call him my dear friend politely.
This seventh uncle was very loyal to Qin Feng. He followed Qin Feng from scratch, from north to south, and went through countless hardships before he founded the Qin Family Trading Company. He successfully joined the Northwest Chamber of Commerce and became one of the youngest members.
Salt and tea are very profitable, and you are not only a wealthy businessman, but also a rich man.
Qin Feng, the only one who hated him so much, was not around at the moment. Liu Ji only had to smile and greet him with a few words of concern, such as thank you for your hard work, and the stewards and grooms in the camp showed great enthusiasm for him.
He was right to find this manager. He had been with Qin Feng for three years. He was ranked second in seniority in the caravan and knew everything he needed to know.
He has a handsome face, and he has the status of a civil servant. It is actually difficult for ordinary people to dislike him.
Especially the salt, the Qin family's attitude does not look like smuggling, but more like a serious salt merchant holding a salt quotation.
The first is the man named Uncle Qi, who went to the Anxian county government office with Awang early in the morning. He is Qin Feng’s most trusted person, both his father and his friend. He is said to have saved Qin Feng four years ago. Fate, the friendship between the two is very unusual.
Qin Feng actually became a big owner of a salt merchant at such a young age. The more Liu Ji saw it, the more he became heartbroken.
Everyone lacks something and loves something, and the person in charge has great respect for scholars. After a few words, he learned that Liu Ji was not only a candidate for promotion, but also preparing to enter the capital to take the imperial examination. The look in his eyes changed instantly.
Liu Jidao: "Madam, this Qin family merchant transports salt from the northwest to the south, transports cotton cloth and tea back to the northwest, transports leather and wool to the southwest, transports hookah and medicinal materials from there to Suzhou City, and travels around Shengzhou for a year. If you travel a large circle across the country, the profit will be huge. According to my calculation, it can only be counted on five fingers!”
Liu Jisheng slapped his hand and shook it twice, for fear that Qin Yao would not see the point.
His arithmetic master was Gong Liangxiao, which was quite convincing, and Qin Yao was secretly surprised. She is currently selling ladies' boxes through the luxurious route, and she may not get 50,000 yuan a year. However, the Qin family's caravan makes ten times her profit in a year, half a million in silver!
As expected, the salt tea seller was the richest.
"But what does this have to do with the person I asked you to inquire about?" Qin Yao frowned displeased and stared at Liu Ji suspiciously. He was afraid that he didn't understand what information she wanted at all.
Liu Ji was quite confident and was not afraid of her glare at all. He lifted up his robe and sat down opposite her, waving for her to come closer.
Qin Yao: "If you have anything to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here."
The two outsiders, the Gouwa brothers, resolutely retreated into the quilt, I don’t exist, I don’t exist.
Liu Ji coughed twice, and his plan to stick up with his wife failed, but it doesn't matter, he will come again next time!
He cleared his throat and said seriously: "Qin Feng's original name is Qin Yunfeng. He is from Wangcheng in the northwest. He is twenty-six years old. He has not yet married and had children. He only goes to the Xianhe Tower every time he goes to Su City to meet a woman named Yanhong. A few days later, I heard that the woman named Yan Hong was dressed in ice muscles and jade bones, and she looked like a goddess."
Oops, it seemed like he said something that he shouldn't have said. Liu Ji took a deep breath, pretended that nothing was wrong, abruptly changed the topic, and continued:
"Four years ago, there was a disaster in the northwest. Qin Feng's family planned to move south to survive. The whole family died on the road. I heard that Qin Dadong's family was rolled up in a straw mat and half of them were buried in the soil. They were also killed by wild animals. The dog threw him out. If he hadn't met Uncle Qi, he would have been regarded as a dead man and eaten by wild dogs, which would have been a fatal fate. "
“Furthermore, he responded to the saying that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later, and followed Uncle Qi to the south. The two started a small business, and gradually became the Qin Family Trading Company.”
Having said this, Liu Ji took a special look at Qin Yao. There seemed to be many similarities and coincidences between the life experience of Qin's boss and his wife.
“Madam, you seem to be from the northwest too. Are there many people named Qin among you?” Liu Ji asked curiously.
Qin Yao answered truthfully: "Quite a lot."
Furthermore, she had an older brother named Qin Yunfeng, who was wrapped up in a straw mat and buried hastily by her.
The little girl who was so hungry that she had no strength was buried in very shallow soil. So, her brother was almost buried alive by her?
"Have you heard any other news? About Qin Feng's family or something like that?"
Liu Ji nodded and stared into her eyes as he said slowly: "The manager said that wherever his boss goes, he will send people to the local government to ask whether the county has taken in any young girls who fled from Wangcheng in the northwest. , The appearance is probably the same as yours, and the age is not the same as yours.”
Qin Yao: Just call me by name!
“My name is the same as yours, my wife, Qin Yao.” Liu Ji actually named her, which made him nervous.
Seeing that Qin Yao's face was calm, not even surprised, and she seemed not to be excited to recognize her brother, an inexplicable feeling of happiness and joy arose in her heart.
"I didn't expect there to be such a coincidence in the world." Qin Yao just stretched out her hand to pour water, and Liu Ji immediately grabbed the teapot, poured her a glass of water himself, and then brought it to her.
Qin Yao looked at him teasingly and took a sip of water. Her piercing eyes had already seen through him, "What are you afraid of?"
Liu Ji chuckled and waved his hands: "Nothing, nothing."
In fact, the villain inside is almost crying.
Known: I scolded my uncle **** and said all the nasty things he could.
Question: How can I repair the relationship with my elder brother-in-law?
Answer: It is easier to dig a hole and bury yourself immediately.
