Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Zhao Wen picked up the written documents, folded them into small squares, and stuffed them into his waist.

"Okay, now I'm relieved. But now, I need nitrate ore. If there is no nitrite ore, I can't produce mirrors. As long as I have nitrate ore, I can produce as many mirrors as possible." Zhao said. Wen said lightly.

"Nitrate mines are not a problem. As long as there is a mirror, I can provide as many nitrate mines as possible." Fan Zheng said,

Zhao Wendao: "Okay, I'm going back this afternoon, you prepare some nitrate for me first. I'll come and get it this afternoon, these nitrates are very important to me."

"Okay, I will definitely prepare it for you this afternoon." Fan Zheng slapped his thigh and said loudly.

Zhao Wen stood up from the chair, stretched his waist, yawned and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go out first. It's hard work to come to Zhangjiakou Fort. It's a good way to do some shopping."

Fan Zheng sent Zhao Wen to Yuan Fuxiang, looked at the back of Zhao Wen's departure, and shouted to Fan Laosi who was beside him: "Come here, I will write a letter later, you send me food to Datong, Did you hear that?"

Datong Town is the foundation of the Fan family, and the head of the Fan family, Fan Yongdou, lives in Datong.

The reason why Fan Zheng wanted to send this news to Datong was because the business was so huge that it was incredible.

For a big business of this level, the family must be notified as soon as possible. Fan Zheng himself can't make up his mind.

Moreover, Fan Zheng also had to greet the head of the family in advance regarding the matter of cement, so as to save unnecessary trouble.

Fan Zheng handed the written letter to Fan Laosi and told him the precautions.

Fan Zheng was sitting in the hall, looking at the departing Fan Lao Si, he suddenly slapped the table, blushing and said: "This is the first time I have seen such a big business.

This is much bigger than the cement business. If it runs well, my Fan family will definitely be the top merchants in Shanxi.His Qiao's, Cao's, and even the others are nothing compared to my Fan's. "

Fan Zheng was walking up and down the hall, his face flushed, apparently still not recovering from the news.

From Fan Zheng's point of view, although the matter of the mirror, it is inevitable to win over other families and let them participate.But this mirror thing can also be like cement.

Be the head shopkeeper yourself and let others be the branch shopkeepers.At that time, just relying on this, you can also make a lot of money,

Zhao Wen was walking on the streets of Zhangjiakou, looking at the shops lined up on both sides of the street and the customers coming and going, he couldn't help but praise: "This family is much more prosperous than our Longmen Fort."

Liu Wu followed behind Zhao Wen, squinting his eyes and kept aiming at the big girls passing by on the street.

From time to time there is a tut-tsk sound.

Zhao Wen turned around, looked at Liu Wu with a look like Brother Zhu, and said angrily, "I'm talking to you."

"Oh, oh, what's the matter, my lord?" Liu Wu hurriedly looked away from a woman with big arms, round waist and fat buttocks.

"Forget it, forget it, I won't tell you, and you won't understand if I tell you." Zhao Wen waved his hand and said helplessly.

Zhao Wen looked at the sky and felt a sense of hunger in his belly, so he took Liu Wu to sit in front of the wonton stall next to the street.

"Boss, here are two bowls of wontons." Zhao Wen slapped the table and shouted at the boss who was busy by the pot.

"Come on, sir, sit down first, the wontons will be ready soon." The wonton stall owner wearing a gray apron hurriedly poured some wontons into the boiling pot.

Then put some coal under the stove.

Datong has been a place of coal production since ancient times, and people in this era also use coal.

After all, coal is much easier to use than charcoal. It is not only cheap, but also resistant to burning.

Zhao Wen sat on a long bench and looked at the pedestrians on both sides of the street.

Suddenly, a large group of ragged and disheveled people appeared on the street.

This is a group of refugees, this is Zhao Wen's first feeling.

These people wandered on both sides of the street, and from time to time they clashed with the stall owners selling food on both sides of the street.

Apparently someone among the group was vying for food at the stall.

Not long after these people appeared, a group of officers and soldiers rushed over.

These officers and soldiers waved the sticks in their hands and greeted these people directly.

They don't care about these people's feelings and drive them to the end of the street.

In the eyes of these officers and soldiers, these refugees are not human beings at all, but animals.

Zhao Wen's eyes kept scanning, and his eyes suddenly stopped on a pair of two people who looked like mother and daughter on the other side of the street.

A scrawny girl with grass marks stuck in her hair, skinny, and muddy face, who looked only seven or eight years old, was kneeling on the side of the street, and beside her stood a woman with ragged clothes and a yellow complexion.

The woman watched the pedestrians coming and going, and kept crying: "Please buy Xiaoni, please, please. Please buy Xiaoni, give the child a way to survive."

The officers and soldiers who drove away let them kneel on the ground as if they hadn't seen them, and ignored them.

Zhao Wen looked at this scene and called the stall owner over.

"Master, what do you want?" The stall owner looked at Zhao Wen with a smile.

Zhao Wen pointed at the little girl who inserted the bid to sell the head, frowned and said, "What's going on?"

The stall owner glanced back at the little girl, turned his head, and sighed: "Oh, isn't Shaanxi being plagued by bandits? The people there couldn't survive, so they fled here.

This group of people has been here for a long time, rushing in from time to time, fighting for food.As long as this group of people rushed in, the officers and soldiers would drive them out again.

The little girl kneeling on the ground has been kneeling for three days, but no one bought one as old as her, who couldn't be a maid or give birth to a child.

Standing next to her was her mother. The girl's father was still there.But two days ago, probably because he was too hungry, his father stole some steamed buns.As a result, the stall owner who sold the steamed buns called officers and soldiers and beat him to death on the street.

Maybe the officers and soldiers felt it was wrong, so they didn't drive them away these days. "

"Shaanxi is plagued by bandits, why do these people come to Datong? There are not many places in Shaanxi that are plagued by bandits, right? Why don't you go to places like Xi'an Mansion and Weinan Mansion? Why did they come here?" Zhao Wen was a little confused. asked understandingly.

Datong is thousands of miles away from Shaanxi. Logically speaking, even if refugees from Shaanxi fled, they should not come to Datong.

"Do those officials in Shaanxi care about this?" Zhao Wen asked in a deep voice.

"This villain doesn't know. The villain is just a wonton seller. How can he manage these military affairs." The wonton stall owner shook his head and returned to the pot.

Looking at the group of mothers and children, Zhao Wen couldn't bear it.

"Liu Wu, go and call the two of them here." Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wu and pointed to the pair of mother and child.

Liu Wu followed Zhao Wen's finger and looked at the kneeling mother and child.

"Yes!"

Although Liu Wu didn't know why Zhao Wen asked him to do this, he didn't think too much about it.

Liu Wu stood up from the bench and walked to the mother and daughter.

The little girl raised her head and looked at Liu Wu with fear.

"Master, do you want to buy Xiaoni?" The little girl looked at Liu Wu and said timidly.

"Master, I beg you to buy Xiaoni. This child eats less, saves food, and is easy to feed. Please buy her. If you don't buy her, she will starve to death."

The woman looked at Liu Wu like the last life-saving straw after falling into the water, knelt in front of Liu Wu and kept kowtowing.

Liu Wu looked at the two of them, frowned and said, "My lord wants you to go there, so hurry up."

"Your lord?" The woman raised her head and looked at Liu Wu suspiciously.

"If you want you to go there, you go there. How can there be so much nonsense."

Liu Wu pointed at Zhao Wen on the other side of the street, frowning.

"My lord, I brought you here." Liu Wu led the two of them to Zhao Wen, and stood behind Zhao Wen himself.

The woman held the baby girl tightly, and looked at Zhao Wen in front of her with a worried face.

The girl stood behind the woman, hugged her thigh tightly, and looked at Zhao Wen timidly.

"Master, do you want to buy Xiaoni?" The woman finally plucked up her courage and asked Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen rested his chin on his left hand and put his right hand on the table, beating non-stop.

"What's this baby's name?" Zhao Wen asked.

The woman's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "Back to Elder Master, her name is Zhao Xiaoni, I am her mother, and we are from Ansai, Yan'an Prefecture. Elder Master, this girl eats little, saves food, and is also well-behaved. No sickness, quick hands and feet, if the old man buys it back, he will definitely not lose money."

"People often say that a tiger's poison does not eat its offspring. You are the mother of this girl, why did you sell her?" Zhao Wen looked at the woman in puzzlement.

The woman was taken aback for a moment, and countless tears welled up in her eyes.

"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't survive, who would be willing to do such a thing condemned by God. I really can't afford it. I hope the old man will be merciful and buy Xiaoni. If the old man doesn't buy it, then she will die." I can only wait until I die." The woman burst into tears, thinking that Zhao Wen would not buy it, and cried with despair.

Seeing the woman like this, the girl wrapped her small arms around her neck and cried bitterly. "Mother, don't cry, Xiao Ni doesn't have to eat, please don't sell Xiao Ni."

Looking at this scene, Zhao Wen heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I bought this girl, tell me, how much silver do you want?"

The woman raised her head, eyes full of surprise, she wiped the tears from her face, pulled the girl from behind to the front, pressed the girl's neck, and then pushed her to the ground.

"What are you talking nonsense, hurry up and kowtow to the old man, Xiaoni, you have to remember, you are born to be the old man's person in this life, and you will be the old man's ghost when you die."

The little girl's forehead kept knocking on the ground, making crackling sounds.

After a while, a bloody scar appeared on the girl's forehead.

"Gentlemen, the wontons you want are here." At this moment, the stall owner brought up the hot wontons that Zhao Wen had ordered.

The mother and daughter looked at the wontons on the table and swallowed eagerly.

"Tell me, how much silver do you want? I'll buy this girl." Zhao Wen asked again.

The woman moved her eyes away from the wonton with great reluctance, looked at Zhao Wen, and stretched out a finger, "As long as you have a bowl of wonton, you give me a bowl of wonton, and Xiaoni will be yours from now on. You can be a maid Or do something else, I don't care."

"Give it to her!" Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wu and whispered.

The woman took the wonton from Liu Wu's hand and directly took one out of it.

She put the wonton near her mouth and blew it, then placed it near the girl's mouth.

The girl looked at the wonton, and then at the woman.Tears were streaming down his face.

"Xiao Ni doesn't eat, Xiao Ni is not hungry. Mother, please don't sell Xiao Ni." The girl held the woman's arm and kept crying.

The woman scolded angrily: "This is white flour, eat it quickly!"

"Xiao Ni won't eat it, mother will eat it. I beg mother not to sell Xiao Ni."

"If I don't sell you, how can you live? If I don't sell you, you will die. Why do you think you don't understand mother's hard work?"

The woman couldn't bear it any longer, picked up the baby girl and cried loudly.

I don't know where the strength came from, but the thin arms were able to hold Xiao Ni in his arms.

After a while, the woman wiped the tears from her face. She put the baby girl on the ground and wiped the tears off her face.

She picked up the bowl that was on the ground, and started to eat the wonton regardless of the fact that it was burning her mouth.

After a while, the woman burped and wiped the soup stains from her mouth.He kowtowed to Zhao Wen a few more times.

"I also hope that the Elder Master will treat Xiao Ni kindly. In the next life, I will be a cow and a horse, and I must repay the Elder Master's kindness."

The woman didn't care about Zhao Wen's reaction, so she stood up from the ground, let go of her girl and ran away.

The girl hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab it, but she didn't catch it.

"Mother, don't betray me, mother, mother!" The girl looked at the woman who was going away, and howled loudly, the tears in her eyes washed away on her face, washing away the dirt on her face, leaving a Road of tears.

She staggered up from the ground, and chased forward with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

At this time Liu Wu jumped out from the side and grabbed the girl.

"Don't run away, from now on, you will be my master's man." Liu Wu yelled at the girl fiercely.

"Liu Wu!" Zhao Wen snorted coldly as he looked at Liu Wu.

"Little girl, sit in a sedan chair and wear a phoenix crown to marry the groom.

Mr. Xiaolang rides a big horse and wears thick clothes to marry a bride. ..."

An unknown nursery rhyme came from the street, and there was a hint of reluctance, joy, and relief in the voice.

The woman with disheveled hair, kept singing, and ran to the edge of the city wall.

"My lord, please be nice to Xiaoni, otherwise, I'll be a ghost and I won't let you go!" The woman stopped at the edge of the city wall, with a ferocious face, and roared towards Zhao Wen.

"Hey, that crazy woman, what are you doing?" A group of city guards came over with sticks in their hands.

"Xiao Ni, forget about mother in the future, and follow the old man well. In the days to come, mother will not be able to accompany you."
