Chapter three hundred and forty first husband and wife cooperation
This is the gap. In Ye An's opinion, the gap between Qin Mumu and Roxana and the women of this era is as different as heaven and earth.
The education I received since I was young is different, and there is an unreachable gap in my thinking, knowledge, and wisdom.
Even though she is as confident and powerful as Qin Mumu, Rosanna is beaten by Qin Mumu in many places. Her knowledge and thinking are simply not as good as Qin Mumu's, so how can she compete with her?
This is completely an asymmetrical war. Qin Mumu's superb knowledge and confidence in herself completely overwhelmed her opponent.
After a simple confrontation, Rosanna was completely defeated, but Qin Mumu was not proud or proud, but smiled and pulled her into the tea shop nearby.
Looking back, Qin Mumu gave Ye An a look, so Ye An sighed and couldn't bear it, but still took Wang Bang and Tieniu away, leaving Qin Yeye and Qin An'an with Qin Mumu.
Ye An still has other things to do. Shopping around is always the only way to "purchase goods". The cotton thread he just lifted has attracted enough attention in the Zoroastrian Temple, and there are already people in Hu Shangzhong who are ready to make a move.
At this time, Ye An only needs to spend thousands of gold to buy horse bones, and he can always get the answer he wants. He doesn't need Hu Shang to come up with cotton seeds now, just the news is enough!
Having a good wife is extraordinary, and Ye An feels that Qin Mumu is the best helper, especially when facing Roxana, her benefits are immediately highlighted.
The couple's double act has already begun, and the conversation between Qin Mumu and Roxana will naturally be heard by interested people. So when Ye An stood in the center of the Zoroastrian Temple and asked Tieniu and Wang Gang to shout hard, the Hu Shang around them all started to shout.
A crowd came over to watch.
"Come~~ take a walk and take a look! Don't miss it if you pass by! If you want Kapok for a thousand dollars, even if it's just news, as long as it's reliable, you'll get ten gold coins! As long as there's true news, if it's true, ten gold coins will be given to you!
If you have kapok seeds, you can take home hundreds of dollars!"
Huge numbers of merchants gathered here, and some even abandoned their stalls.
The Hu people were very good at doing business. The returns from grazing and farming on the land in the Western Regions were too low, so using the geographical advantages for trade was the best way out.
A piece of reliable information can be sold for ten dollars, which is quite an astonishing amount. However, Qin Mumu dragged Roxana to talk in the tea shop, which made Roxana very anxious.
She didn't expect that Ye An and Qin Mumu would use this method to obtain kapok, and she relied on kapok seeds!
"County Lord, I have news about kapok in my hands!" Roxana couldn't help but speak as she looked at the growing crowd outside. However, Qin Mumu was not moved, but calmly took a sip of the fragrant wine.
He frowned slightly after drinking tea.
Until Rosanna couldn't help but say: "Everything is easy to discuss with the county king. Don't you Song people always say that we are talking about business? I can help you get kapok!"
"It's not kapok, it's the seeds of kapok!" Qin Mumu smiled like spring in the room. Roxana couldn't help but lost her mind. There was such a beautiful woman in the world.
She didn't know that Qin Mumu's temperament was what affected her the most at this time.
"I wonder how much the county gentleman is asking for?!"
In the noise outside, someone was already answering Ye An's question, and Ye An took him to a place not far from the tea shop to sit down and discuss. The result was soon reached, and he followed the Wang Gang and took away ten pieces of tea from the oxcart.
Guan Qian, Hu Shang's emotions were aroused again for a while.
"Then we have to wait and see how much my husband spends. The more he spends and the more information he gets, the less valuable your things will be."
Rosanna was horrified: "The county magistrate's price reduction is too much. If someone gives accurate information, or even takes out kapok seeds, wouldn't my things be useless?"
Qin Mumu pursed her lips and smiled: "What do you think?"
But soon Rosanna also reacted, and the anxiety on her face slowly disappeared and she said with a smile: "Oh! I originally wanted to use two peaches to kill three people, but has the county gentleman seen what kapok looks like? At the moment, I just plan to collect enough.
News, then compare it with the thing in my hand to see if it is kapok?"
Phew...Qin Mumu was almost amused, but she still suppressed her laughter and said: "Little sister, you have thought too much. We are just looking to see whether what these Hu Shang said is true or false! If we can really describe it,
If you show the appearance of kapok, you must have seen kapok. You don’t think that my husband will give people money casually, do you?”
Rosanna, who originally had some confidence, was quickly overcome by Qin Mumu's offensive. She stared anxiously at the door of the tea shop as more and more people gathered with her beautiful eyes.
The shopkeeper of the tea shop smiled and took the five hundred coins from Tieniu. For him, this was already a day's revenue in the past.
"Five hundred guan! How about I sell you kapok seeds for 500 guan?"
Qin Mumu smiled and said nothing, joking, five hundred yuan can buy a nice house in the outer city of Tokyo, and can also buy a small house in a remote location in the inner city.
Several more people followed the Wang Gang to receive money. This time it was slightly less, but they still received it. Moreover, the price of the information began to decrease due to the repetition, but as long as there was unique information, they could still receive money. Hu Shang
Their interest has not diminished.
Qin Mumu finally raised a finger and said: "One hundred strings, just this once!"
"Three hundred strings!"
"Ninety times!"
"you?!"
"Eighty sticks!"
Roxana held Qin Mumu's jade hand and said, "Sister, I am determined to be eighty!"
"You are the princess of Gaochang City, right? Ye Lang said that your name is very noble and you should have no shortage of money, but you are working hard to make money. Why is this?"
Qin Mumu suddenly asked an unrelated question, but it was the question that Roxana least wanted to answer: "When can you give me the eighty dollars?"
Picking up the tea cup, Qin Mumu tilted his head and looked at the girl in front of him. There was no doubt that she was a beautiful woman, but she was also a strong woman.
He sighed slightly and said: "I don't know what difficulties you have encountered, but you should know that I am not hostile to you. If possible, I even hope to cooperate with you to make more money. It can be seen that you are quite famous among the merchants in the Western Regions.
One of strength, competition and cooperation, the latter is naturally more in line with the interests of both of us. You know where to find us, the door of the Hou Mansion is open to you at any time, of course I mean cooperation, come to us with your sincerity
!”
After Qin Mumu finished speaking, she stood up and without giving Roxana a chance to speak, she whispered softly: "Ye Lang, let's go!"
Ye An didn't expect Qin Mumu to get the result he wanted so quickly. He was slightly startled and smiled at the Hu Shang in front of him: "I'm sorry, everyone, my wife has got the result she wanted. I haven't heard from you yet."
used."
Many people were unwilling to watch the cooked duck fly away in front of them, but some people shouted: "I can take out the kapok seeds now!"
Ye An was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Don't wait until it's expired. You didn't take it out just now. Now you have no chance. If you want to wait for the price, you will get nothing!"
Qin Mumu smiled and nodded at Ye An, which also made Rosanna next to him breathe a sigh of relief.
Ye An has already seen the kapok seeds in the man's hands. They are indeed kapok seeds! They are completely different concepts from the cotton he said.
This also created a smoke bomb for outsiders, making them think that the seeds in the hands of the Hu merchant from the Western Regions were very valuable and were the kapok seeds that Ye An wanted.
But in fact, cotton is what Ye An and Qin Mumu need. China's kapok can be found in various places in the south. Although it is warm and lightweight, its yield cannot be compared with that of large-scale cotton cultivation.
What Ye An wants is cotton that can be planted in a large area and will be completely white during the picking season, not kapok that grows on trees.
This thing still exists in the Western Regions, but it rarely appears. In addition, in this era of extremely underdeveloped information transmission, few people can tell the difference between cotton and kapok, let alone when it will be introduced into China.
The only way is to rely on the person who owns cotton seeds, obtain the seeds from him, and cultivate cotton in the Song Dynasty.
So Roxana has been the first choice of Ye An and his wife from the beginning. Of course, these Hu businessmen are also their second choice, but this is a helpless choice in the worst case scenario.
Especially after Rosanna came to the door confidently after seeing the cotton thread, Ye An and Qin Mumu were sure that she had seen or even owned cotton, and the facts proved that it was indeed the case.
