Lu Fenghe looked at Jinbao and hesitated, "But it doesn't matter."
Jinbao smiled sheepishly, "I have never entered school, so my words are vulgar, and I'm afraid I might offend my wife's ears."
"It's okay, just tell me."
"It's cold outside the customs, and there's not much food in the fields. If you eat too much beef and mutton, your digestion will not be good. This... excretion will not... be smooth. I think it will be much better if you drink tea."
Jinbao was afraid that he was too vulgar, but Lu Fenghe thought that this was human nature and there was nothing wrong with speaking out.
"So, tea from outside the customs is also easy to sell?" Lu Fenghe asked.
Jinbao nodded, "It's easy to sell. In the past, there were only a few teas available, and almost all the tea at the right price was sold out."
Lu Fenghe also heard that people outside the customs did not actually have much money in their hands.
"Besides money, the most common things people outside the customs have in their hands are livestock and furs, right?" Lu Fenghe asked.
Jin Bao nodded, "Yes, if the skin is not complete, it would be a lot."
Lu Fenghe paced around. A complete skin was naturally valuable, but its value also meant that there were only a limited number of people who could afford it, and not many could sell it.
Lu Fenghe asked Shen Nanxun, "I don't think you need any cattle or sheep. I looked at the brochure and there are a lot of cattle and sheep at the Zhuangzi Racecourse in the northwest."
Indeed, the cattle and sheep on Northwest Village are enough for both use and food.
Lu Fenghe put the matter aside for the time being and asked again, "In addition to the northwest, is the same situation in Tibet in the southwest?"
Jin Bao nodded, "It's almost ten."
Lu Fenghe turned to Liu Rui again, "What do you think?"
"According to me, as long as there is nothing outside the customs, what we have is a good deal. As for transportation, I heard from Uncle Xi that the main business is from northwest to west, and the sand ships can go as far as Yuzhou and Yibin.
Further west, we have to rely on horses. There are many mountains in the west, and some places are inaccessible by car. This transportation will cost a lot of money."
Lu Fenghe nodded. Indeed, the principal must be considered, and the cost of transportation cannot be ignored.
Since transportation is a problem, Lu Fenghe eliminated cotton as the first item. Cotton is very delicate and cannot be pressed by water. When you lie down, tofu can be plated for the price of meat.
"I know everything you said. Let's go down first and stay in the front yard. You don't have to wait for orders in the mansion. You can go out for a walk on your own. Just follow the rules and come back when you should. No.
Cause trouble." Lu Fenghe said.
The two of them responded respectfully, bowed and went out.
Shen Nanxun also told Xi Chun, "Since the lady has accepted this person, this job has been done well. Let's look for people from two old cities who are used to business or have been escorts."
Happy spring.
Shen Nanxun then said to Lu Fenghe: "I'm looking for these two people who are a bit tender. I'm afraid they won't be able to control the situation when they go out. I'll find you a few more people who can handle the matter."
Lu Fenghe still had no reason to refuse. Although he could follow the Lu family's caravan, it would not be a coincidence every time.
After everyone left, Lu Fenghe said: "I'm thinking about making tea. Jin Xi has said so much, so I am more proficient in tea. I can distinguish between good and bad before, so I won't be deceived."
.”
"My grandfather can make coarse cloth at home. If you can eat from the pot outside, don't eat it in your own pot."
"Porcelain is difficult to transport over long distances, and the loss is huge. I don't have a kiln at home, so I have to buy it from elsewhere. This business is not cost-effective."
"I seem to have a tea mountain in Hangzhou. Which sister-in-law also has a tea mountain in her dowry? When I look around, there is a high chance that my grandfather's family will also have one. Tea is not a rare thing in Jiangnan and Zhejiang."
Shen Nanxun listened to Lu Fenghe quietly without interrupting.
"Hey, just say something, this is your business,"
Shen Nanxun put down the tea cup and looked into Lu Fenghe's eyes, "I'm listening."
Lu Fenghe said angrily, "Of course you have to listen to what I have said, but you don't have anything to say?"
Shen Nanxun shook his head, "No, I think what you said makes sense."
Lu Fenghe's eyes widened, is this what I want to hear?
"What do you want besides money?" Lu Fenghe asked.
Shen Nanxun was asked, what do you want? The world? You? Or... the people's hearts?
Lu Fenghe thought for a while and guided Shen Nanxun, "There are some outside the pass. You don't need cattle and sheep. What about horses? What else is there outside the pass?"
"Silver, the Dangxiang people have silver mines and jade." Shen Nanxun said.
Lu Fenghe wrote it down carefully, "What else?"
"Horse trading is prohibited north of Datong, but they have medicinal materials and good ginseng."
"The swords outside the pass are also good."
Lu Fenghe counted on his fingers, "Coins, horses, swords, jade, medicinal materials."
Shen Nanxun was puzzled, "If you have money, you can buy anything else. What are you doing?"
"What if there is no money?" Lu Fenghe asked, "We can't ship the tea over. If the other party doesn't have the money to buy it, then it's not in vain. If you don't have the money, you can exchange it for something else."
"You can leave the horses at the racecourse, and you can sell the rest if you bring them back. However, you can't bring them back intact."
Shen Nanxun should have said, "I don't know about other places, but there are a lot of tea leaves in the Northwest Forging Farm."
Lu Fenghe pointed his index finger at the table. This is indeed a problem. She can think of it, and others can think of it. It is also tea, so why should foreigners buy their own.
Just cheap? As soon as the idea came up, Lu Fenghe rejected it.
Lowering prices is the stupidest thing to do. Now your own things are sold first, and others have no choice but to lower their prices too.
What about the future? Is there any chance that the price will go back up?
This not only harms one's own interests, but also disrupts the entire market. Lowering prices is absolutely unacceptable.
Lu Fenghe tapped his fingers on the table faster and faster, making a continuous clicking sound.
This is her habit. When she is thinking, she likes to point her fingers on the table.
Shen Nanxun held down her hand, and Lu Fenghe's thoughts seemed to be held down.
Lu Fenghe was a little annoyed, "What are you doing?"
Shen Nanxun said good-naturedly: "Don't be in a hurry, think about it slowly."
Lu Fenghe's thoughts were completely interrupted, and he couldn't continue, "You are really a person, after all, it is your business. I am completely like the emperor who is not in a hurry to kill the eunuch."
Shen Nanxun glanced at Lu Fenghe, "What are you talking about? Although you mentioned confinement, you haven't been able to take a good rest this month. Think less, your health is important."
Just as Lu Fenghe was about to speak, Bihe knocked on the door and came in.
"The eldest madam and Mrs. Guo are here. Please ask the girl to go to the madam's yard. By the way, there is also the prince. The eldest sir and the second husband of the Guo family are in the master's study. Please hurry over."
Mrs. Guo and her family just came here yesterday, so it stands to reason that today they should go to the fourth bedroom. Especially for Uncle Lu and Mrs. Lu, there is no reason to go to the third bedroom so early in the morning when moving to the fourth bedroom.
"But what's the matter?" Lu Fenghe asked.
Bi He shook his head, "I don't know what I'm doing, but the people from my wife's yard ran over and left a message saying that they were going to invite the Eighth Lady and asked her to come over quickly."
Seeing that Mrs. Quanfu wants to make peace. This chapter has been completed!
