"What do you mean, Mr. Xie?" Having said this, no matter how much Xie Xuan objects, it seems to be of no use. As a father, he is always the last to know about his daughter's affairs.
This made him feel very unhappy.
However, if things like private love letters were done too much and spread out, it would definitely not be a good thing for Xie Minghui.
Simply, don’t stop doing it!
"You don't have to worry about this matter. I will take care of it myself."
"If I take action personally, even the Wang family would not dare to refuse."
Xie An rubbed his hands with great interest, as if he was very proud of the business of sending his granddaughter to his door.
He really should be proud.
Yesterday's Wang Mi was already good enough to be sought after by the noble women in Jiankang City, but today's Wang Mi is not comparable to yesterday.
With military merit, a title, and a more respectable official position, the key is that he can still hang around Sima Yao.
From various angles, Wang Mi's value as a son-in-law candidate is increasing.
Xie An was very pleased. He had a bright mind and saw the huge potential in Wang Mi before others.
I just voted for the wrong person a few years ago!
After finding that bad guy Wang Guobao, he not only harmed his own daughter, but also turned against her and became an enemy!
However, as he gets older, Xie An becomes more and more confident in his vision. He believes that this time, he is definitely not wrong about the person!
…………
Some lead ingots, some sulfur, some saltpeter...
The chief of the workshop, Pu Chaopu Craftsman Zuo, is talking about this in his mouth, but he never stops taking a step.
At the beginning of Shenshi, it is the busiest time in Jiankang City.
As the capital of the Jin Dynasty that crossed south, Jiankang City was also a place where merchants and traders came and went, and commerce was extremely prosperous.
Although its scale and prosperity cannot be compared with Chang'an and Luoyang of the later Tang Dynasty, it is definitely the most economically prosperous place on the left and right of the Yangtze River.
There was no need to doubt this in the first place.
No matter how vast the place is, no matter how rich the resources are, or how large the population is, any place occupied by foreigners from the grassland cannot have a sound business.
Regardless of whether they are Di people, Xianbei people, or Shatuo people, they are all not good at doing business. In other words, they are only suitable for wandering merchants and can never do a good job in the business of a city.
The only thing these ethnic groups relied on to occupy vast territories was the strength of their bows and horses, and even caused internal strife within the Central Plains regime itself.
When they take over the magpie's nest, they will devote themselves to turning the population of the ruled area into soldiers or farmers. They do not pay attention to business at all, and they do not develop well. Therefore, even if the city that originally had prosperous commerce and trade is in their hands, it will basically
All industries in the world will wither away, just like the city of Chang'an now.
Therefore, people who do business from north to south still have to go to Jiankang City. Unlike later generations, although Jiankang City covers a very large area, relatively speaking, the merchants and shops are relatively scattered. This is different from Jiankang City.
It is not related to the strict tic-tac-toe distribution of the urban layout. Residential areas and commercial areas are almost adjacent to each other and built randomly.
The only large market is called Big Market, and of course, it is also the most popular one.
At this moment, Pu Chao was walking on the broad street of the big city, mumbling something.
Different from what Pu Chao imagined, the quantities of these raw materials Wang Mi needed were not large. They were all limited to about one kilogram.
Wang Mi was not sure whether the rudimentary gunpowder processing method could be successful, so he did not dare to shout about it, as long as it was enough for experimental use.
His small tricks brought trouble to Pu Chao.
There are only a few raw materials in total and the amounts used are so small. So what on earth does Wang Shilang want to do?
Pu Chao is a man of justice. Since the materials used are so small, don't use them from Jiang's workshop. In his opinion, the quality of the mineral materials in Jiang's workshop is not really the best.
Everything is about money.
The Sima family has no money and no merit. It cannot be said that this territory was saved by the Sima family's ability.
Naturally, most of the small money will not flow into the pockets of the Sima family. So where is the money? It is naturally in the hands of several major aristocratic families.
Therefore, things controlled by aristocratic families are truly good things. On the contrary, things placed in the palace are not necessarily the best.
The same goes for raw materials.
As a general master craftsman, Pu Chao has a familiar shop in the big market that sells high-quality iron materials, copper materials, and even the mineral materials that Wang Mi needs. He can easily find the best ones.
Just need money.
Fortunately, Wang Mi's demand is not very large, and Pu Chao can still cope with the small amount of money in his pocket.
Of course Wang Mi didn't know about this. If he had known about it a long time ago, he would never let Puchao spend money. The Langya Wang family has no other advantage, except that it is not short of money.
Puchao searched around for a while and finally found the target store.
Jinxian Pavilion.
The glamorous-sounding name seems to have little connection with the mineral materials Pu Chao wants to buy, but in fact, the connection is huge.
The name of Jinxian Pavilion sounds elegant and a bit powdery, but this is a shop that specializes in selling Taoist products.
The so-called Golden Immortal is a realm of cultivation in Taoism, and only high-level Taoist Immortal Masters can enter it.
The boss of Jinxian Pavilion was an old acquaintance of Pu Chao. When he saw him coming in, he immediately greeted him.
Since he can specialize in buying and selling Taoist supplies, he is naturally a fellow Taoist. However, for the convenience of doing business, the boss still uses his real name and does not refer to Taoist names to others.
"Boss Xin, I'm interrupting you again."
"Pujiangzuo, what are you talking about? With experts like you frequenting the shop, the business of the shop will only get better and better!"
"What do you want to buy this time?"
Although Boss Xin was familiar with Pu Chao, he couldn't guess what he wanted to buy when he came to Jinxian Shop. As far as he knew, Pu Chao was by no means the same person.
"Sulfur, saltpeter, and lead." Pu Chao said calmly.
"What does Pujiang Zuo need these things for?"
"Could we also learn from our Taoists and condense the golden elixir?" Although Boss Xin was curious, he had no intention of stopping Pu Chao.
Pu Chao is the chief of Jiang's workshop, so Boss Xin naturally knows that when such an expert comes to buy raw materials, he must have the best quality to attract his attention.
Ordinary teasing will only bring humiliation to oneself.
"Pu Jiangzuo, please come with me." Boss Xin leaned over and was about to take Pu Chao to the back house.
Of course, the best products cannot be seen by just anyone.
They should all be stored in a key place in the back house, and when the experts who know the goods come to buy them, they will be taken out separately.
Today, Jinxian Pavilion is still bustling with people and business is going on. Fortunately, Boss Xin is a cheerful person. Knowing that he is too busy, he hired several boys to help with business.
Therefore, when business is booming like this, Boss Xin can also take time to take care of his distinguished customers alone, without having to worry about various chores in the store.
