A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 267

Seeing Xiao Qian's waywardness, an old general with a few gray beards said in surprise: "This woman is indeed talented, but it's too outrageous for a woman to join the army."

"If you are talented, why not?" Another black-faced general said with reverence in his eyes: "Training is loyalty and strengthening one's heart. Training is knowing the battle formation and fine skills. Just by these two sentences, you can know that this woman Absolutely extraordinary, it is really a blessing that the general can have this person's help."

"Yeah, so what about women, the grassland peoples next to us have a lot of tough women who can mount a horse and fight."

The young general from before looked at the backs of Xiao Qian and Chang Ning leaving, and said with a smile: "The general is extremely intelligent, he will never be fooled by a woman, we have to trust his vision..."

Just like that, Chang Ning dropped the book bag and calmed down Xiao Qian's subordinates.

"Look, reading more books is always beneficial!"

After leaving the school grounds, Chang Ning was proudly showing off to Xiao Qian, when suddenly someone came to report: "Qi Shaonan came to the door with a heavy gift to apologize."

"Let him wait!" Because of Qi Shaonan's fiancé status, Xiao Qian couldn't help but make things difficult for him, and after missing a word, he dragged Chang Ning to go shopping.

Shuoyang City is located on the border, bordering Ximan, and the border dispute between Dayu and Ximan is opened near Shuoyang City.In the market, Dayu's silk, tea, porcelain, cloth, medicinal materials, grain, etc. were exchanged for Ximan's cattle and sheep, fur, handicrafts, and even gems through trade.

The market was crowded with people of all nationalities, besides people from Ximan and Dayu, there were also merchants from Gaochang, Rouran, and even Beirong.

Xiao Qian had never been to the forum, but his clothes and attire, as well as the guards accompanying him, immediately revealed his identity.The merchants in the venue recognized him at a glance.

Those people obviously respected him very much, and when they saw him passing by, they bowed their heads and saluted.

Most of the people were silent, only the shopkeeper of a makeup shop boldly looked at Chang Ning beside Xiao Qian, was a little surprised, and asked tentatively: "This handsome girl is your beloved people?"

Xiao Qianzheng felt that his image among the public was too serious, why did no one dare to speak up?Doesn't it make Chang Ning feel that he is not close enough to the people?

Seeing someone speak, he immediately held Chang Ning's hand, and asked with a smile, "Exactly, do you think we are a good match?"

"Good match, good match, the young master and the young lady are both talented and beautiful, they are a match made in heaven."

Seeing his reply, the shopkeeper was so excited that he immediately took out a box of snails and said, "This is a new product that just arrived from Persia. Congratulations, sir. I will give it to this girl's thrush."

The price of Luozidai is high, and a small box is worth tens of taels of silver. Looking at the shop owner's small shop of no more than ten square meters, Chang Ning thinks that he can't make much money, right?Then he declined and said, "No need, this is too expensive."

"Take it and take it."

The shopkeeper's wife stepped forward without any explanation, forced Luo Zidai into Chang Ning's hands, and said: "So there is no room for discussion, and we have nowhere to go if we want to make money. Thanks to Mr. Xiao and Prince Azheluo for begging His Majesty the Emperor's favor." Sure, opening up the border market has made our life easier, what a box of snails is worth, my family can afford it."

"Accept it!" Seeing this, Xiao Qian quietly blinked at Chang Ning, and at the same time gestured for Xiao Yi, who was accompanying the guard behind him, to pay.

A box of snails opened, and the merchants saw that Xiao Qian was not as indifferent and fierce as in the legend, so they gathered around to say hello, and soon Chang Ning received all kinds of gifts.

It seems that Xiao Qian has a very good reputation in the northwest, but he was not close to the people before, just because he didn't have much contact with the people.

Chang Ning smiled secretly, and noticed at the same time: In the forum, no one cared about her alien attire, and no one disliked her identity as a bearded woman.Here, all ethnic groups gather together in harmony, deal frankly, get what they need, and be honest with each other.

"It really feels like going to a trade fair in a previous life. It would be great if every place could do this." Feeling the enthusiasm of businessmen of all nationalities, Chang Ning couldn't help sighing to Xiao Qian.

"Have you noticed that there is the least amount of goods in this market?" Although Xiao Qian's eyes were cheerful and comfortable, there was a coldness in the moment he spoke.

"Which cargo is the least? Ah, metal items, ironware." Chang Ning found out after a short observation.

"Yes, it's iron."

Xiao Qian lowered his voice, and said slowly: "The grassland peoples don't produce iron. Once the two countries go to war, their iron pots and kitchen knives may be cast into weapons. Therefore, although we have signed a contract with Ximan, it is open to discuss." market, but ironware is still not free to buy and sell, it must be approved by the government, and it will only be sold once a month."

"There is no way to do this!" Chang Ning understood very well.

Between countries, there is no eternal peace, only eternal interests.

"Yeah, even though Azheluo and I are brothers, we still can't give in easily on the matter of ironware. Otherwise, if the Rong people take the opportunity to buy a large amount of ironware from the market here to make swords, I will be Dayu's sinner. "

Xiao Qian also sighed, and then took Chang Ning to continue shopping in the market, and told her: "You came just in time, the early-ripening Hami melons are starting to hit the market, there should be some in the market, let's go buy some fresh ones."

Changning set off from the capital on March [-]rd, and traveled on the road for more than two months, and it is now the end of May.

"Really? That would be great."

Chang Ning was naturally very happy to have fresh melons and fruits to eat, but when she got to the melon stalls, her attention was attracted by other things.

On the side of the cantaloupe stand, there is a large pile of dark things, round and full of soil, many of which have sprouted.

Isn't this a potato, why are they piled up here?
Chang Ning was very surprised. When she was in Guashan Village, she didn't eat less potatoes!I heard that there is a shortage of food in the Northwest, and a lot of edible things are piled up here, but no one wants them?
"Oh, this stuff was brought over by a merchant from the mainland last month, and he said it was edible. But someone bought it back and ate it and was almost poisoned to death, so he came to the door and beat up the merchant. Now the merchant has run away. Naturally, no one dared to ask for things.

Seeing her attention, someone next to her immediately explained.

Rubbish things, potatoes are so delicious, the mainland of the Central Plains is almost popular, and the people and foreign businessmen in Shuoyang City don't know the goods?
I also feel sorry for the merchant, who finally found a business opportunity and shipped potatoes all the way, but failed to make a deal.

Hearing that Changning shook his head, he ran to the pile of potatoes and looked through them, and saw that there were still many ungerminated ones inside, so he said to Xiao Qian: "You find a few people to bring these back to the mansion, and take the sprouts and potatoes. The ones that didn't sprout were divided into two piles."

"No, I don't like potatoes!" Xiao Qian immediately shook his head and said, "I hate potatoes the most."

"You willful, if you don't eat it, you can give it to others? Don't you know that potatoes are one of the best staple foods in the world? You are desperately short of food in the Northwest, so you can just promote potatoes?"

"What, can this stuff be grown here? The land in the northwest is very barren, dry and cold, and even wheat can't grow well." Xiao Qian was very surprised, and said: "I have never liked this since I was a child, so I never eat it. focus on."
