Chapter 326: Matchmaking
There were shrill screams one after another.
The man in the brocade clothes whipped him wantonly, and there was no one around to help him.
The hawkers on this street are all ordinary people. How dare you provoke the nobles?
"Steward, this..."
The manager shook his head and said, "We can't control it. This is someone else's territory."
Everyone looked at the candied haws scattered on the ground.
In fact, candied haws are made by rolling hawthorn balls in syrup to make them sour and sweet.
There is a shop on Li'an Street that sells this, and many rich people go to buy it.
Hawthorn is worthless, sugar is expensive.
A bunch of candied haws costs 5 cents, and the sugar on top is white sugar.
White sugar is expensive and in short supply. Most people can't afford it, so naturally they are reluctant to spend five cents to buy this candied haws.
However, brown sugar is cheaper than white sugar.
They looked at it and realized that the seller must have made syrup from brown sugar.
The color is darker, but it is still candied haws.
After the noble man in Jinyi walked away, the man who was familiar with the picker helped him up from the mud.
The candied haws stuck on the straw stick fell to the ground and was snatched clean by the beggar.
The salesman was also injured, but there was nothing they could do.
When they quarreled with nobles, the beatings they received were light.
Everyone went back to the inn to rest with their thoughts deep in their minds. They had to travel a long way tomorrow.
There are too many such things in the world, and they can't see them or help them.
Some people who had small thoughts also stopped thinking.
Li'an is very good, the princess is very good, and they don't want to go anywhere.
People going to Pingling are on the way, but people going to Cangxing Mansion have arrived long ago.
After they arrived, the government officials settled them properly, found shops for them, and prepared fields for them.
Let these people sigh: "Our princess has great face!"
How could Cangxing Mansion, thousands of miles away, be so kind to this group of people? How could they know that the princess's uncle was the prefect of Cangxing Mansion.
Many people don't know that the Yun family of Cangxing Prefecture, Lord Yun, and Princess Guangnan are the same family.
One is because of the distance, and the other is because the Yun family has not publicized it to the outside world.
There is no need to bring out the scandalous things that happened in our family back then and tell them in detail to outsiders.
After Yundating finished his official duties, he suddenly raised his head and asked the steward beside him: "Have the shops on the street been arranged?"
The steward lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's settled, the shop is already being renovated, and the goods should be available for sale in a few days."
Yundating nodded, "Where is the house over the field?"
"Sir, it has been built a long time ago and the canals are open."
"Okay, keep an eye on them carefully to see if they need anything else."
"Yes, sir."
The manager knew that these people were sent by Princess Guangnan, so he did not dare to neglect them. He was just curious as to why Princess Guangnan would send people here to farm.
Yundating was also a little curious about this matter.
He asked Yuntao to buy some seeds, and Yuntao readily agreed, but in exchange:
She wants to open a shop and farm here, and let him take care of some of it.
The elders should naturally take care of the younger ones.
Not to mention farming.
Yuntao transported the goods from Li'an and specially started selling them in Cangxing. Yuntao opened up a business road and said that after the business was established, he would directly fund the construction of a cement road near Cangxing.
Yun Dading didn't understand why this junior should give him all the benefits?
He knew how popular Li'an's goods were, and merchants traveling all over the Jin Dynasty knew that only Li'an's goods were the most popular, so there was no need to worry about not being able to sell them.
Many people made large sums of money to buy Peppa Pig shoes, Cuju balls, sugar, etc. from Li'an.
Yundating heard that a few days ago, a group of dandies in the city spent a hundred taels of silver to grab a pair of Peppa Pig shoes, and they were badly beaten.
Later, the two parties broke up and the shoes were sold to the most seriously injured dude.
Yundating couldn't figure it out. Is it just because of relatives?
There was no shortage of Peppa Pig shoes in the Cangxing Yun family. After the production of Peppa Pig shoes increased, Yuntao sent some to the Yun family.
But whether the shoe size is suitable or not is not Yuntao's problem.
A large part of the reason why Yuntao chose Cangxing as its sales market was because there were people there who could take good care of them.
Li'an has many products and needs to be exported.
There is no set price for merchants to sell goods. Whoever pays more comes first.
Everyone wants to buy rubber shoes and things like Cuju balls, but the salted fish produced in her factory is not so popular.
Because this is neither a novelty nor a necessity.
After it was shipped to other places, rich people didn't like to eat it and poor people couldn't afford it. This was not what she wanted to see.
Yuntao thought about it and realized that it couldn't be like this, so Shangdao wanted to open it up herself.
First, decide on the market in Cangxing so that you can sell it in the towns along the way.
There is no shortage of people to buy from the capital, so Yuntao is not in a hurry to open up to the capital. In a few years, when the cement road is built and the transportation infrastructure is established, Li'an's goods can be transported to farther places.
Yuntao doesn't know the mood swings of outsiders.
In addition to being busy with spring plowing, she also had to pack her luggage for the capital.
Now that she has become a princess, she has more people around her than before, and she has to bring some people to follow her back to the capital.
She also had to deal with the things below to prevent the following group of dandies from running amok in Li'an while she was away, and no one could control them.
Yuntao called Wei Litao to him and explained his intention.
"Have you prepared the candidates to stay in Li'an, Captain Wei?" Yuntao asked.
Captain Wei and Yuntao have been staying here for a long time. It is rare for them to go home, and they have been very happy these days.
"Everything is ready! However, I have something to ask of you, princess." Wei Litao said happily.
"What's up?"
"Princess, could you please be a matchmaker?"
Matchmaker?
"He's just one of my soldiers who has taken a fancy to your manager." Wei Litao rubbed his hands and said with some expectation.
There was a young general under Wei Litao named Zhuo Hui who took a fancy to Tian Sihe, the female steward under Yuntao.
According to Wei Litao, the two of them had some interest in each other, so Zhuo Hui shamelessly approached Wei Litao, asking his master to help him find a solution.
Tian Sihe is Yuntao's right-hand man, so naturally he wants to ask Yuntao what he means.
Yuntao nodded after hearing this, "I'll call her over and ask her. If she is willing, I will be the matchmaker."
After saying this, Yuntao called Tian Sihe up.
A round-faced woman wearing a peach-yellow dress with two beaded flowers in her hair walked in. The woman was slightly plump and very festive, with vivid eyebrows and a soft complexion.
"I've met the princess." Tian Sihe saluted.
"Sihe, Captain Wei is here today to ask for someone's hand in marriage." Yuntao said.
After Tian Sihe heard this, his cheeks immediately turned red.
Yuntao looked at Tian Sihe and felt that the matter was almost done.
"Do you know about this?"
"Sihe knows about this..." Tian Sihe didn't expect it to happen so soon.
