Chapter 164 Trading Goods (Part 2)

Since he was injured, his life has been quite peaceful. Although he didn't ask much about his family, he had a green peach like a trumpet all day long, and he didn't want to know every bit of the family.

The autumn harvest had already ended, and the cotton in the field was also picked and sent to Cai's mansion. According to his instructions, no other place was chosen. He chose a simple courtyard in Cai's mansion to bounce the cotton.

It is not very difficult to sprinkle cotton. Just look at it and you can sprinkle cotton. It’s just that proficiency requires a process.

The cotton cloth had not been weaved yet, and the thick and soft quilt was covered with him. Su Mei was afraid that his wound would fall into the disease, so she made two vest cotton coats with good silk. Others still had long clothes and long gowns, so Cai Yan wore the real cotton vest.

It has been nearly three months since the wound caused by the armor-breaking arrow that opened the blood groove has not healed, and the entire right arm is as weak as if it is disabled.

There are houses of white and clean cotton piled up in the mansion, but it is so insignificant when compared with bags of cooked silk in the weaving courtyard. Cai Yan knew that high-yield and extensively managed cotton would completely replace the dominance of silk. As a successful businessman, Su Mei'an also attaches great importance to this.

Whether it is looking for someone to make looms or recruiting female workers to try spinning and weaving cloth, Cai Hua was not too concerned about this, and even the suddenly popular soap workshop at home did not put too much energy into it.

Cai Yan never took the initiative to ask Su Mei Niang about the business of the business. For months, even Su Rui and Assassin did not ask about the Manichaeism. The Manichaeism seemed to have been forgotten to be a schoolboy in the house. His professor was not someone else, but his mother-in-law, a woman who existed like a teacher and a book boy.

Old Master Cai sent a letter. Cai Hua didn't believe that Su Mei's grandmother didn't know the content of the letter, but he still asked Shiqi to deliver the letter to him. He said firmly, but he muttered in his heart. He didn't understand why Su Mei's grandmother didn't refuse directly? But he didn't know that in the small courtyard that was only separated from him, Su Mei held another letter in the attic and looked to the north. There was also a person standing beside her, neither someone else, but Cai Bian, the second master of the Cai family.

The two of them had been standing in the attic for a quarter of an hour, and neither of them spoke, but just looked silently in the direction of Kaifeng City.

“Dengdon…”

Dongmei stepped on the wooden steps and came behind the two of them, squatting slightly to the blessings of the two who had not turned around.

"Madam, I'm old, and I'm here to send a letter."

Hearing Dongmei speak, Su Mei turned around with a calm expression and took the letter from Dongmei. Dongmei stepped back and stood in a corner of the attic like an ordinary maid.

Su Mei silently opened the letter and looked at the three words "found" on the entire letter. She was silent for a long time before delivering the letter to Cai Bian.

Cai Bian felt that his ears were thundering and thunder were constantly swaying. When the letter was delivered to him, he felt a sense of fear.

The slender hands swung gently, rough, and the thin palms trembled and took them...

"Hiss~"

Looking at the above three words, Cai Bian's eyes felt dazed and unreal, and at the same time, an unspeakable guilt arose in his heart. He felt guilty and didn't dare to look up at Tan Wei's eyes.

...

"Count...millions of taels of gold, Mei Niang...really willing to give up?"

Cai Bian was silent for a long time, but still a little unbelievable. Su Mei turned her head to look at the courtyard separated by a wall and said calmly: "Our original tax field was 5 million hectares, but now there are only two million hectares left. The lack of land tax is 3 million hectares. Where can I make up for the shortage of the money?"

"Businessman."

Su Mei said: "The income of merchants is multiples to the farming people. If you increase the tax, you won't let the merchants sell their children. Besides, you don't just add any taxes to any merchants. But the second master has thought that the taxes raised by merchants are actually paying for the national taxes occupied by scholars and powerful people. In this case, how can you do things like robbing money and killing your life as a court official?"

"Buy pony and ask for the island, and the court will give you a request. Liu Qiudao will be the thing in Mei Niang's hands."

"But Mei Niang knew that the court could do things a few months ago and would be dirty in the future. After all, millions of taels of gold are far from comparable to the wealth of Suzhou and Hangzhou merchants. So Liuqiudao gold belongs to Mei Niang, not Mei Niang. He used things he could not have in exchange for murdering my son's thief, but Mei Niang didn't feel that he was at a loss."

Cai Bian sighed in his heart and told himself rationally that he would get the gold from Liuqiu Island for the court, and he felt guilty. When the court greedily greedy Liuqiu Island for twenty years, the woman in front of him had completely owned the ownership of Liuqiu Island for twenty years.

Cai Bian knew that it seemed that one tael of gold was worth ten taels of silver, but in fact, gold was much more expensive than silver, and iron coins that were depreciating increasingly, and salt banknotes were of millions of taels of gold, tens of millions, even tens of millions of millions of dollars, and tens of millions of coins of silver. In this way, the Cai Mansion was enough to match the taxes of the Song Dynasty for several years, and there were often inmeasurable real copper outputs where gold was produced.

The Song Dynasty would never allow anyone to take such a huge wealth, but this was the Cai family's money after all, and Cai Bian also had his true surname!

After Chad learned that Liu Qiu was huge wealth on the island, Cai Bian instinctively placed himself on the loyal officials of the Song Dynasty. However, when Su Mei did not hesitate to send wealth that could rival the country, when he returned to the second master of the Cai family, he could not control his guilt and uneasy. He wanted to speak, thinking about the fate that the child lying next door had already decided, but he didn't know how to start.

Su Mei looked at the low walls with mottled soil and murmured...

"Since marrying Lao Taishi Cai, who can become a father, Mei Niang no longer has the luxury of hope. She just hopes that her son can marry and have children smoothly without any disasters and illness..."

"Since marrying into Cai's Mansion, Mei Niang knew that Mei Niang was just a father, just a trading product between the Su family and the old Grand Master Cai. Today... Yet Jae wants to become Mei Niang, become the old Grand Master Cai, become the second master, and become the trading product between the Cai family and the official family..."

"A virtually known as the governor of Jinghai, a non-existent Liuqiu navy commander, a scholar-in-law, a doomed child in the palace, and a prince-consor who is destined to marry into the royal family and has nothing. What did the second master think Mei Niang would think about it?"

Su Mei turned around suddenly, cold and ruthless, and her anger made people dare not look at her.

Cai Bian lowered his head and was silent...

"My Madam Mei should know that you don't...no other choice...Bian needs a talent, and Bian doesn't want to see what happens ten years later."

"So you pushed Jae into the fire pit? Cut Jae all retreats? You deserve to die--"

When Su Mei thought of the more than a thousand officers and soldiers who surrounded Cai's mansion outside the mansion, she kept getting angry and wished she could kill him with one knife.

"I was seriously injured in bed that day. If there was an accident, Mei Niang was unwilling to live alone. She told you about the past ten years and gave you millions of taels of gold with both hands! So what was the result? The result was that you not only took my mother and son's family business, but also took our mother and son's lives!"

"Last year, when Xiaoer was seriously ill, Mei Niang came to the door to beg the Su family, begged the Wang family, Zhao family, Li family... begged you Cai Er, no one is willing to teach Xiaoer's knowledge."

"No one is willing to teach in the Song Dynasty, and Mei Niang doesn't ask anyone for it. Mei Niang buys it with silver, Mei Niang buys it with Mr. Liao, and we mother and son don't ask for it!"

"What's wrong? Our mother and son gave you Cai Er, gave you countless silver and money to the court, and helped the court stabilize the silk brocade, food, and the entire Jiangnan. Now they have to unload the donkey and turn against each other, but they want to deal with my son?"
