  Chapter 792 Seeing the goods

  Although there were escorts, the husband and wife dressed in a low-key manner, and they did not cause a sensation all the way on Yushi Street. Those who don't know them only think that they are ordinary wealthy people.

  As long as anyone who has the courage to wander around Yushi Street has no money? Who doesn't bring a guard or two?

  But Mu Yan ignored other people's eyes and held Huo Xi's hand tightly all the way. The two were too close and attracted a lot of attention.

   "Do you have a shop on this Yushi Street?" Huo Xi asked him in a low voice.

  Huo Xi knows the general idea of ​​Mu Yan's business in the southwest, but not so detailed that he knows where any shops are open. But she knew that Mu Yan didn't have a jade mine.

  Mu Yan raised an eyebrow at her.

  Huo Xi understood. This means that there is his shop on this street.

  Before, many of his businesses in the southwest were hidden in the dark. In the absence of others, the managers below are often suppressed. In order to support Mu Zhan, Jun Mingzhang destroyed his business a lot. Most of the business on the bright side is hidden in the dark.

  Everyone knows that the southwestern border is famous for its jade, so who wouldn't want to get involved?

  That is to say, the treasury is short of silver now, and it is located in the frontier, the mountains at the junction of the two countries, so the mining of ore has been relaxed. Allow private mining to increase treasury revenue.

  But if you want to get mining rights, not everyone can do it.

  It is absolutely impossible to have money but no background or backing. You must have capital, power, and local gentry. Otherwise, even if you can get the mining rights, you won't be able to keep them.

   "Before I was not here, other businesses were run on, not to mention jade mines. Even if they got the mining rights, they couldn't keep it."

  Huo Xi nodded. This means that the current officials are not as good as the current management.

  Walking along the way, looking around, there are endless shops on Yushi Street, and there are a variety of shops. Baohuo shop, Xieyu shop, fine flower, Gongyan, Yuguang and other various processing workshops, there are many. Really lively.

   "I'll see if there's anything I like later, I'll buy it for you for my husband."

  Huo Xi's eyes lit up. Which woman does not love jewelry?

  Although she doesn't usually wear it much, there are quite a lot of jewelry in the box, which does not prevent her from admiring it.

  She is also a person of status, so she can't always wear the same jewelry every time she goes to a banquet. It seems that he is not capable enough as a man, and it makes outsiders guess that their relationship is not good.

   "Okay!" I was very happy, "I heard that there are many people who gamble on stones, I want to go and have a look."

   "Okay." Mu Yan nodded, and led Huo Xi to a seven-bay noodle shop called "Jiu Sheng Xing".

The rice steward who followed him introduced to the two: "This is a time-honored brand. His family has people in the capital, and there are mines at several entrances. Other shops are for three or five days to see the goods, and his house is crowded every day. It was full of people, sometimes thousands of people, came to his house from morning to night to see the goods."

   "Looking at the goods?"

   "It's just looking at stones, estimating stones, throwing stones and explaining stones."

  Huo Xi nodded. This is called betting on stones. Vanilla and Qiushuang half-understood, "Why don't the owners and consignors keep the rough stones and sell them at a high price? What if there is good jade in it and only sell it at a cheap price?"

  Minister Mi laughed.

He explained: "The rough stones are mined from the entrance of the field, and they are covered with a thick layer of shell. No one knows whether there is jade in it, or whether there is good jade. Maybe only a small part is available, and most of them are stone waste. It is difficult to judge. If the rough stone is cut up and sold again, the risk is too great, and the loss can only be borne by the owner himself.”

  Huo Xi understood, "It's just packaged and sold together, so as to share some risks."

  Even if there are sophisticated instruments in later generations, it is impossible to see whether there is jade in the original stone, let alone judge by naked eyes and experience today.

   "Yes, Madam understands."

   Several people entered Jiu Shengxing's backyard. Because Jiushengxing often sells good goods at several outlets, there is an endless stream of people who come to see the goods. Their boss was smart enough to set up a threshold, and they had to have a certificate to enter to see the stone.

   There is no distinction between rich and poor, and everyone receives ten taels of silver. You have to pay ten taels of silver before you are eligible to enter to see the stone.

   This excludes a group of irrelevant people who are just watching the fun.

   "When his family started this, they thought there would be few people, but they didn't expect that more and more people came to buy market certificates. You can make a lot of money just by selling market certificates in a day."

  Hearing this, Huo Xi sighed, "This boss is very business-minded."

   "That's not true. Others are jealous just by looking at it." He walked in while talking.
