Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 176 Trading gems for food

Huang Dalangjun was overjoyed, "That's great! To be honest with you, there are quite a lot of these handkerchiefs in Huang's shop."

Huang Dalangjun explained with a wry smile, "The last time the Huang family shipped these handkerchiefs was last autumn. The snow in Chen County is thick in winter, and merchants will not come to Chen County in winter. They usually wait until spring."

"But the scene is like this again this spring. There are many bandits along the way, and Chen County is so far away. The merchants will simply not come to Chen County this spring."

Ke Muqing understands that there are water bandits when traveling by water. There are bandits on the mountain roads. If it is not a powerful merchant, at this time, he would rather not make the money than take the risk.

Whether you lose money or not and whether you can keep the goods is another matter. The fear is that your life will be lost.

"The merchants didn't come, but we are planting mulberries and raising silkworms. We can't stop doing what we should do here. If we stop, it will be a big problem."

"If we, the owners, call us to stop, we will only make less money, but what about those people who depend on the Huang family for their lives? Can people withstand a day or two of work stoppage, a day or two of hunger, or a year and a half of work stoppage? Have you been hungry for so long?”

"So no one dared to stop, so this time King Chen took the people to join the King of Shu. We and other merchants also followed King Chen to Shu County. We just thought that Shu County would find a way for our business to survive, so we could help our business. We need to feed all these people down there.”

"For ordinary people, if they have work to do every day, they still have hope."

"If everything stops and no one does it, all the cities will be in chaos."

Mr. Huang Dalang said, "Many people have been following our Huang family for generations, and we can't bear to watch people waiting to die."

As the head of a county, King Chen is in trouble.

These wealthy households seem to have unlimited success, but it is also very difficult.

As long as there are people with conscience, life in this world will not be easy.

Ke Muqing nodded. As Huang Dalangjun said, if the bosses like them don't bear the pressure, what should the common people do if they stop all production and lose their jobs? That is equivalent to being deprived of even a little bit of hope.

If a person loses hope and is forced to the point of desperation, it is hard to say what he will do. How can Chen County have the peace it has now?

"Don't worry too much, Mr. Huang Dalang. I will definitely send a message to my friend." Ke Muqing comforted Mr. Huang Dalang, "When the time comes, I will ask him to come to the Huang family to find you."

Huang Dalangjun quickly stood up and bowed to express his thanks, his face full of sincerity and gratitude.

After coming out of the Huang family, Ke Muqing took the gifts from the Huang family and couldn't put them down.

Everyone has a souvenir, and the Huang family is quite generous.

Zheng Qiu Shuang was so happy that she squeezed to Ke Muqing's side and asked. "Mom, how much do you think this gem of mine is worth? Mr. Huang Dalang said that this veil can be sold for forty or fifty taels of silver in the south of the Yangtze River. Mom, you said that after we get to the south, can I sell this veil and the gem? ?”

"How can a rough man like me deserve such a good veil? I sold it for money, and I bought land and hired day laborers to plant it for me. Then wouldn't I be able to support my family at home without even having to work?"

Zheng Qiu Shuang couldn't help but slap her thigh at this time, "What a pity for my unsatisfactory belly! Why can't I have two children in my life like my mother! If I give birth to two children, I will have one more!"

Yang Jimin and Yang Chengshao took away their share as soon as Zheng Qiu Shuang left the Huang family.

Zheng Qiu Shuang was calculating there, "I don't know how much an acre of land in the south costs, but I know it will definitely be more expensive than our Wangshan Town." After the calculation, Zheng Qiu Shuang was overjoyed, "Mom, according to the price of fifteen taels per acre of land, Forget it, if I sell these three handkerchiefs, I can buy eight acres of land!"

Zheng Qiu Shuang turned to Feng Ying and called, "Sister-in-law, your family can buy about ten acres of land!"

When Yang Shuangshuang heard that the handkerchief could be exchanged for land, he immediately handed his share to Feng Ying.

"My mother kept it and sold it in the south. My mother also went to buy land like my aunt!"

Then Yang Shuangshuang gave the gem to Ke Muqing, "I'll exchange this for grandma's silver and buy land for grandma!"

As soon as Yang Shuangshuang took the lead, Yang Chengzhuo and Yang Chengzhi immediately followed suit, giving Feng Ying the handkerchief and Ke Muqing the gem.

Yang Chengzhuo was overjoyed, "I also sold the gift the prince gave me, and I have the money to get married! Great! From today on, I won't study! I don't need grandma to marry me a wife!"

"If grandma doesn't agree, you won't be able to marry me no matter how much money you have." Yang Shuangshuang put her hands on her hips and said, "You should also study hard for me! When I become a rich man in the future, if I don't live happily after getting married, I will go back to my parents' home. , you still have to support me!”

Yang Chengzhuo pursed his lips and said, "I'll just read it. Sister, don't be so cruel~"

It took two days for Ke Muqing to ask Yang Yi to send a letter to the Huang family, saying that her good friend's husband would come to the city tomorrow.

Then early the next morning, Ke Muqing left the city on the pretext of going out for a walk. He changed into the avatar of a young man outside the city and drove his carriage into the city.

After entering the city, he first went to Zhuang Tiannan and gave him everything Zhuang Tiannan wanted. This was considered as completing a business first, and then went to the Huang family.

Huang Dalangjun has been at home these days. Huang Dalangjun handed over the housekeeper early in the morning, so when Ke Muqing arrived at Huang's house, he was respectfully invited in. Huang Dalangjun came at a trot.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time." Huang Dalangjun said while observing the young gentleman in front of him. He heard from the old lady of the Yang family yesterday that he knew it would be the young gentleman from her good friend's family who came, but he didn't expect it. would be so young.

"Brother Huang is so polite, I just sat down." Ke Muqing waved his hands nonchalantly like a young man, and called out "Brother Huang" to close the distance between them, "Aunt Yang and my dad. I want to praise you, so I or my dad must come."

Ke Muqing said, "Ms. Yang said that your family's handkerchiefs are unique, and your family's gems are also unique. Let's stop talking politely and let me see your things."

Huang Dalangjun smiled, nodded and made an invitation gesture, and took him to the largest warehouse of the Huang family.

The place is not far from the Huang family's house. It is guarded by Huang family guards and requires many layers of keys to drive in. When building this warehouse, the Huang family put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of money. Talents know the institution.

"Look at the gems first." Huang Dalangjun led the people inside. When they reached the deepest place, the servants quickly lit the candles in the room.

Ke Muqing immediately saw a scene he would never forget in his life.

There are rows of wooden shelves in the room, and pieces of jewelry and jade are neatly placed on the shelves.

"In addition to the gems from the Huang family mine here, there are also gems that my family has collected from others in recent years. Young Master can take a look. If there is anything you like, I will ask the butler to register it and leave the warehouse.

Ke Muqing was dazzled by what he saw. Chen County was indeed an underestimated place. Those bare mountains were clearly mountains of gold and silver!
