The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 476 Doubt

Because the best jade carvers in Danan are all from Jiangnan, and the best jade carvers in Jiangnan are in Hangzhou.

Therefore, the caravans returning from Yao'er Kingdom will go to the south of the Yangtze River to unload their goods.

When all these jade stones are carved, it will be summer, and then some of these jade stones will be brought to the capital for sale.

But most of them can be sold directly on the way of business. After all, the sales of jade have always been good in the rich and prosperous south of the Yangtze River.

After unloading these goods, Chen Qian just rested in Hangzhou for two days, and then followed her elder brother to the capital to do business with new tea.

Because in winter, the river in the Yongzhou area where the capital is located freezes, so this time they took the land route. On the way, Chen Qian met the strange caravan again.

And she found that the caravan was still carrying the same batch of goods. Could it be that these people didn't unload the goods in Jiangnan?

She simply asked some people during a break on the way, and although those people still didn't like to talk to them, she managed to get some words out of a rather enthusiastic driver.

They did not unload the goods, and said perfunctorily that they were going to take them to the capital to sell them.

These words made Chen Qian feel even more strange, how could this jade be transported to the capital?There are no jade carving masters in the capital, and the jade brought back from Yao'er Kingdom is not bad, let alone selling rough stones in the capital.

Hearing what Chen Qian said, Xuemei couldn't help asking, "What's so strange? Maybe they just want to sell it in the capital."

Chen Qian, who was drinking water to slow down her throat, immediately gave Xuemei a white look, obviously thinking that Xuemei's words were silly.

Lin Jiaojiao murmured: "Since you are a businessman, you must maximize your profits."

To put it bluntly, Chen Qian nodded in agreement and said, "It's because of this that I feel strange. I suspect that their goods are not jade at all."

"Not jade?" Lin Jiaojiao frowned slightly, the land in this country is barren, there are no other good things except jade.

It can be said that apart from jade, Yaoer State owns Danan, and it is better than Yaoer State.

If it weren't for jade, who would spend so much effort to go to Yao'er country when they are full and have nothing to do?

Chen Qian glanced at the closed door, then beckoned to the two mysteriously, signaling them to come closer.

"In addition to being rich in jade, there is another rumor in this country."

rumor?Lin Jiaojiao frowned when she heard these two words, how much of the rumors are true?
I only heard Chen Qian say: "It is said that Yao'er Country is rich in iron ore and is good at fighting soldiers. The iron ore produced in a year is twice as much as that in Shannan."

Although Chen Qian didn't believe the news at first, she also felt that it was not groundless.

"I suspect that these people are smuggling soldiers and doing desperate business."

In order to be convincing, she continued: "There is news in the south of the Yangtze River that someone in the black market paid a high price for these things. If it is a box of armor, it is much more valuable than ordinary jade."

"Besides, it costs money to buy jade. It is easy to lose money on such things as jade. There are not a few caravans who went to Yaoer Kingdom and lost everything."

Listening to Chen Qian's words, Lin Jiaojiao began to think, her lips were tightly pressed into a line, and when she thought deeply, an ominous premonition flashed in her heart.

Bingjia is controlled by the imperial court, and the control is extremely strict. If someone owns a Bingjia, even a set of Bingjia, it is a felony of decapitation!

Maybe it will implicate the nine clans.
