The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 56
With the change of time, the people in Southern Chu are obviously more tolerant than those in North Korea. From the emperor to the common people, they gradually acquiesced in the name of Southern Chu, so that after crossing over from Chuqing, they have always heard about how Southern Chu is. How, not Da Chu how.

Chu is adjacent to the South China Sea, and on the other side of the sea, there are as many small countries as a cow's hair.Of course, Chu Qing believes that there must be powerful and powerful countries, but they were not discovered by the practitioners of Chu, so they were not recorded in the travel notes, which made the people who stayed in Great Chu their whole lives unknown.

The trade between Great Chu and overseas countries has existed since ancient times. However, due to the high risk at sea, ordinary merchant ships can pass through heavy waves, avoid pirate robbery, and avoid all kinds of bad weather. Few of them reach the port of Nanchu. Even if they did arrive, there might only be one or two of the ten cargo ships left.

Such risks are naturally accompanied by huge benefits. If the goods can be circulated, it will be an unpredictable huge profit for the merchants of either side.

According to Chu Zhengyang, in the past five or six years, no merchant ship from outside Nanyang has ever arrived at the port of Chu. Yancheng, as the coastal city of Great Chu, is almost abolished as a trading port, and its commercial status will be replaced by Anning City not far away. .

And this time when the ocean-going merchant ship came to Dachu, it might cause a storm in business, far beyond the imagination of the father and daughter.How does the Chu family, which is not considered the largest merchant in Anning City, compete with other firms, or even the entire Southern Chu, including merchants from North Korea, to obtain this exclusive right to trade?
In the discussion between Chu Qing and Chu Zhengyang, this opportunity can't be missed, and they can only burn the boat.If it is successful, the crisis of the Chu family will be resolved, and the Chu family will become a blockbuster in the business world of Southern Chu from now on.If you fail, you will go bankrupt, and at worst, you will start all over again.

A businessman is a gambler.If you want to win huge profits, you must be prepared to give everything.According to Chu Qing's words, if you dare to gamble, you will at least win half of it. If you don't dare, you will lose directly and be out.

In this business battle, the first thing the Chu family paid was boldness.

For the next three days, Fusu ran to Chu Qing's small courtyard seven or eight times a day, for no other reason than to pass the news he got from Chu Zhengyang to Chu Qing's ears as soon as possible. .Of course, Chu Zhengyang acquiesced to this point.

This daughter of his is very talented in business, but she understands the truth that wood beauty must be destroyed by forest wind, and knows how to hide clumsiness, which makes him feel very gratified.Therefore, he is willing to cooperate with his daughter. She hides behind the scenes if she wants to, and stands out whenever she wants to stand in front of others.

The pages of the book in Chu Qing's hands moved silently, and his eyes followed the pages. After Fusu finished his report, he stood aside and waited.Standing behind Chu Qing, Ming Liu gently shook the cattail fan for her, tilted her head, as if thinking about the meaning of Fusu's words, and looked at her young lady's delicate side face from time to time, blinking her eyes.

After Chu Qing finished reading the not thick book in his hand, he closed the book, raised his hand and rubbed the slightly swollen bridge of his nose. "Nowadays, there are many foreign merchants in Anning City, and they all seem to be quite powerful?"

After a pause, she continued: "It seems that the news has been completely spread, and many people are eyeing this fragrant bun."

"Miss, what shall we do?" Ming Liu asked.

Chu Qing put the book on the table, turned to look at her, smiled slightly, and nodded slightly: "I'm very happy, you are talking about what we should do, not what the Chu family should do."

The name of Liu was unknown, so he looked at Chu Qing with doubts in his big eyes.Chu Qing pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word, Fusu raised her eyes and glanced at Ming Liu. Seeing her expression, she couldn't help rolling her eyes, and couldn't help explaining: "Miss means that you regard yourself as a member of the Chu family and are willing to share with Chu family." She is very relieved that the family is in trouble together."

Being robbed by Fusu, Mingliu wrinkled his nose anxiously, but Fusu was stunned by that delicate and cute appearance, and after realizing it, he lowered his head a little embarrassed.

Chu Qing, who watched this scene silently, smiled in his heart.Although she vowed that she would never be close to love in this life, she would not stop the normal emotions of the people around her. If Fusu and Mingliu were destined to be together, she would be happy to see it happen.

"Okay, the weather is nice today, let's go out for a walk together." Suddenly, Chu Qing stood up from the round stool, and the water-blue long skirt naturally fell to the floor, outlining her newly developed figure exuding the unique temperament of a girl come out.

Fu Su immediately said cleverly: "Fu Su is going to prepare the carriage now."

Ming Liu also reacted quickly and turned back to the inner room, took out the cloak, put it on for Chu Qing, and put a white veil on her to cover her peerless face.

This is also the rule of Chu. Girls who have not left the pavilion must wear a veil when they go out.The young women who are just married women don't force it, and the middle-aged women don't pay much attention to it.

Therefore, every time Chu Qing went out with his original face, he would wear a veil, which was doing as the Romans did, and in Chu Qing's understanding, Li's reason was to prevent her beautiful appearance from causing trouble to her husband's family.

After everything was ready, Fusu appeared outside the troupe again and reported to Chuqing that the carriage was ready.One master and two servants left the Chu house and got into the green-eaved cart from the side.

"Drive—!" Fusu yelled, and the horse stepped up, walking towards the main business district in Anning City.

On the road, the closer you get to the business district, the more pedestrians there will be, and there will be many horses and horses traveling together, and there will be bustling scenes everywhere.The carriage moved very slowly on the road, but even so, it gave the people in the carriage more time to watch the bustling scenes.

Ming Liu leaned against the car window and opened the blue curtain, revealing a gap that allowed her and Chu Qing behind her to see the scenery outside.Listening to the noisy voices of people and the crowded pace, Chu Qing couldn't help thinking: This Anning City is busier than ever, and it's really no different from the bustling market in the famous painting of Rising the River during the Qingming Festival in his previous life. up.

"Miss, the Chu family store is here, do you want to get off?" Fusu asked from outside the curtain.

Ming Liu opened the curtain further so that Chu Qing could see more clearly.

Chu Qing looked along, and the situation outside the shop with the sign of the Chu family's shop not far away was completely opposite to the lively scene a foot away. Other shops were full of customers, while the Chu family's was very quiet Even beggars are unwilling to stay.

This scene was clearly seen with narrowed eyes.How is this going?If it is said that due to the interference of the Hu family in the order, a large amount of goods were accumulated in the Chu family's business, making it difficult to sell them.However, this foreign retail store should not be affected.

With this doubt in her heart, Chu Qing couldn't help but look around.After this look, just for a moment, Chu Qing's eyes became cold.

At a few intersections more than ten feet away from the Chu family shop, there were actually people chasing away customers, preventing people from coming to the Chu family shop to buy.
