Chapter 71 Attic

“Little brother, do you think something is wrong?” Wang Xingwang asked proactively.

“I just feel a little strange, Jiang Mansion can be said to be the granary of Baiyun Kingdom.

Have you ever thought about what the final consequences will be if food prices in Jiangfu get out of control? "

“Brother, this is obviously someone manipulating the price.

 A reduction in grain production is not a big burden to the Jiang government. The only worry is that someone will interfere with it.

  Officials and businessmen colluded to control food prices. The most miserable people were the people, who sold their sons and daughters in order to survive, and their lives were as cheap as grass. "Wang Xingwang, who has some understanding of this, said.

 The deeper meaning is up to Ziyu herself to understand.

No matter how good the food is, she can't bear to eat it every time. There is really no bowl of wild vegetables that is more attractive to her.

 Everyone except Hong Feiyang looked at the thin Ziyu with distrust.

 Those who seriously disbelieved in Ziyu's words followed Ziyu's lead.

 After Ziyu learned about the situation outside, she gave up her plan to purchase food on her next trip.

 “Brother Wang, please divide it among the ship bosses.”

 Double-layer four-pane glass windows that open uniformly towards the courtyard are standard features in every room.

 The freight cost was 2,400 taels of silver, and the difference was 485 taels of silver.

 “There is such a good thing, I thought that my little brother’s family has ten thousand gold.”

“The little brother said this, it’s a big deal, it’s something that no one can control.

Each room was lit with a whale oil lamp, and the rooms that were not yet dry were somewhat shady.

The howl of wolves was heard in the distance. Wang Xingwang, Leng Dayou and others, who heard the howl for the first time, looked around in fright.

Those who have never seen the attic should take a look first.

Hong Feiyang, who arrived later, didn't care so much. He just looked around the stone houses and he was extremely satisfied.

 …

The shepherd boy sat on the back of a mule swinging twigs and slowly returned to the valley. The carpenters also packed up their tools and left one after another.

In front of several people, Ziyu took out a small stack of gold tickets from her sleeves and counted them to Hong Feiyang and Wang Xingwang.

"If you don't believe it, you will know later when you look at the animal skins nailed outside the wooden house." Ziyu jumped off the big stone and went straight into the valley.

To the right of the gate is a small concierge, three feet long and three feet wide, with a four-pane double-glazed window for lighting.

 …

 The fence gate requires two adult men to push, and its strength cannot be underestimated.

 As a member of the valley, it is necessary for him to assume the role of guard.

There are several laps of bundled animal skins on the floor of the wooden house, and it can be seen from the color of the fur that they are hares.

“I have to thank Brother Wang for this. If I hadn’t heard you talk about your business experience along the way, how would I have known about Shangdu Prefecture.

 Ziyu was still a little complacent when she talked about that incident.

“Guys, I’m sorry!

I just want to borrow my little brother's land and bring some back to the family. " Quan San raised his hands and bowed slightly to Zi Yu.

 This also caused serious doubts among those who had never seen his true abilities.

 Dried fish, dried whale meat! "

Ziyu shuddered when she talked about dried fish. She had eaten enough now.

"Hahaha, little brother!" Quan Sanyi gave a thumbs up. People who have personally experienced low tide know what it is like, and of course they will not give up this rare opportunity.

 She is a person who owns wolf skins, tiger skins, and bear skins, and she doesn’t mind a few more wolves.

Wang Xingwang and Leng Da looked at each other and smiled. Unexpectedly, they were really blinded by this man at that time.

The 15-foot-wide corridor connects the sitting rooms on both sides. There are long wooden benches outside for resting and chatting.

The sun gradually sets in the west, and the chill in the mountains deepens.

I didn’t expect this to be the case, so I plan to buy some daily necessities nearby.

“Okay, I won’t keep you too much, just do it yourself if you like something.

 Haha, little brother, it’s hard to refuse your kindness, so I won’t refuse.

"Stay far away. When the weather gets cold, he will howl every day. If he is delivered to your door, he will be killed and made into a wolf-skin coat." Ziyu said nonchalantly.

 “Let’s go and see the new house!”

Ziyu saw that the final work was being done on the roof, and she felt excited and called out to a few people.

I only have nine taels of silver left, and I almost won’t be able to get it back. "

 …

The conditions here are simple, and I don’t advise you to stay longer. Please take the specialties of the valley with you when you leave.

 Two rooms on the right are connected to form a set, and three rooms on the left are connected to form a set.

“Little brother, I didn’t expect you to be so easy-going. I’m afraid no one in this world can do what you do.” Quan San said in admiration.

Leng Dayou saw that there was no goods to be transported, so he gave up the idea of ​​joining in. Most importantly, his family members did not agree.

“Little brother, if you take it out like this, you won’t be afraid of us snatching it from you.” Wang Xingwang joked.

It was precisely because of that transaction that she dared to trade with the gold ticket blatantly.

 Ziyu carefully looked through the account books and lists in front of several people, and quickly calculated the difference and shipping costs.

 Once this place is built, I will be the owner of the fort, and I will definitely be able to stretch out my hands with clothes and open my mouth with food. "

The people standing on the big rock got closer and closer as they chatted, and they felt like they were meeting each other too late.

Ziyu, who stood among several big men, looked particularly thin because of her age.

 Otherwise, there will be nothing more to come. "Ziyu said modestly.

 “Ouch~woo!”

 At this time, the few people saw the situation in front of them, and no one thought too far ahead.

 The simple facilities in the house made several men give thumbs up.

The outside of the corridor of the wooden house is covered with various animal skins, among which the skins of bears, tigers, and wolves are the most eye-catching.

The man who cut down the tree shouted a trumpet, and four or five people came back carrying the tree.

The stone house, which is four feet long and wide, is regular and stylish. The floor is paved with stone slabs and the top is made of one-foot-thick wooden boards.

 Coupled with the kang and the fireplace that the little brother said, you will not be afraid of the cold weather.

 “Hahaha, so this is fate!” Hong Feiyang also thought of what happened in Shangdu Mansion and laughed out loud.

 Quan San and Leng Da had two ships, so they had no choice but to return home and find another way out.

“Little brother, we are also preparing to leave with Boss Quan.”

“The conditions are simple and we can only make do with it, which will definitely not be the case in the future.

Hong Feiyang stayed at the mouth of the valley, waiting for the people carrying the tree to come back.

As soon as it gets dark, the fence gate made of logs will be closed at the mouth of the valley.

Ziyu waved his hand proudly, saying that what he can get depends on his own ability.

Those are worthless things, and it’s not worthwhile to travel too far.

“Little brother, Brother Wang paid for all the expenses on the way back.

Ziyu went up the wooden stairs against the wall to the attic. Several grown men did not dare to go up together.

To tell you the truth, these gold tickets were obtained by exchanging the only things I had with me for jewelry with overseas merchants at the Shangdu Pier. "

 You can do whatever you want with the things in the mountains and the sea. "

Tigers, wolves, and bears are all so easy to hunt. An experienced hunter would have to shed several layers of skin when he encounters one.

Rather than using cash for everything, I can only say that each has its own benefits.

Hong Feiyang handed the trip’s purchase list and account book to Ziyu and added.

 “Haha, can you do it?

Seeing this, Wang Xingwang also stepped up lightly, barely even tiptoing when walking.

 In the attic made of pure solid wood, the third and fourth sons of the Hu family and their nephew were squatting on the ground polishing wooden boards.
