Wealth and glory seek stability

Jian Xi:......

"do not Cry."

Woo woo woo.

"It's really painful to see a grown man crying."

Heizi looked up and asked in confusion: "What is an eye-sore?"

Jian Xi rubbed her nose and seemed to smell a spicy smell. Since she became pregnant, her sense of taste and smell have become unusually sensitive.

"It just means it's ugly. If you have anything to say, just say it. If you keep crying, there's nothing to say."

Heizi immediately stopped crying and put the unknown cloth that looked like a handkerchief in his hand into his arms.

Seeing that his eyes were just red and he showed no other sadness, Jian Xi did not expose him.

"We are a caravan, and we make money by reselling. Over the years, although we have earned a lot, we have also spent a lot. We don't plan to go to the northwest. I hope that the mistress can help us more and let the brothers earn some money, so that I can go back and give them an explanation. If that is not possible, we can make other plans."

Jian Xi knew that Heizi's new plan meant starting a new business. "You all know that if a businessman does business without support,

No matter how much money you make, it will only help others. Besides, the Gao family has been cooperating with you for many years, and their reputation is reasonable."

Heizi understood that this was a warning, but he still argued with reason.

"Madam, what you said is wrong. Many brothers have many children in their families who are waiting for their money to buy rice and food. I..." Heizi seemed to be holding his breath, "I am still waiting to save money to marry a wife."

"Pfft!"

Jian Xi couldn't help laughing. It was true that Heizi's body was like a black bear, but his inside was like a child who had not grown up. The contrast was too great.

"Cough, cough, cough," Jian Xi clenched her fist and coughed lightly a few times, trying to save her image.

"I already know your situation. Go back and wait for news. I will arrange jobs for you as soon as possible. You don't have to go out to do business. Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and business is not as easy as you think."

The reason they can do business smoothly is because of the connections that the Gao family has established. If they were to go on their own, the exorbitant taxes and levies along the way would be a huge amount, not to mention making any money.

Heizi was happy to see that his goal was achieved. This matter was small, just a word from Jian Xi, but he needed to fight for it. The crying child gets candy. Thinking of his brothers——

He spoke tentatively, "We have a total of 237 teams, with 10 to 30 people in each team, which means there are at least a thousand people. I wonder what kind of tasks the mistress will assign to us?"

He really didn't mean to be annoying. It was just that when the previous head of the family was around, they, the brothers, had been living on hunger. If it weren't for the hefty pay for each trip, they wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long.

"Don't worry, there will be times when you are too busy."

Heizi chuckled and rubbed his knees with his hands, "Then I feel relieved, thank you, mistress." He was almost unable to hold on any longer, thinking that if the Gao family didn't care about them anymore, he would really take his brothers to the dock to carry things.

"Okay, you go back."

"Oh! OK."

Jian Xi stopped Hei Zi and asked, "By the way, do you know what those people are transporting?"

"There is an old master in our team. He looked at the wheel tracks and guessed that there was a lot of gold and silver inside. One of the carriages overturned, and we saw some cloth and porcelain inside. It looked like something used by the emperor."

"I understand. Go ahead. I'll assign your tasks to you soon."

"it is good."

Heizi was so happy that he left without even saying hello. When Zicui saw the door open, she immediately looked inside. She was relieved to see Jian Xi sitting on the chair unharmed.

Unexpectedly, a figure as big as a small mountain stood directly in front of her. Zi Cui was startled and screamed. After seeing that it was Hei Zi, she became embarrassed and angry, "Big black bear! Don't you know that scaring others can kill them?"

Heizi scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "How do you know my name is Big Black Bear? My brothers all call me Big Black Bear."

The maids around couldn't help laughing. Zi Cui looked helpless, "Are you a fool? You can't understand what I'm saying. Get out of the way. I'm going in."

Zi Cui is pretty and has just turned fourteen this year, which is the age of beauty. Even her shy look has a bit of girlish cuteness, which is very pretty.

Seeing Heizi standing there in a daze, Zicui walked around Heizi and Xiaoshuang and walked into the house side by side.

Xiao Shuang had a smile in her eyes and whispered, "Sister, you are so beautiful. This man is stunned by you."

Zi Cui looked straight ahead and said, "Little hoof, just do your job and leave me alone."

Xiaoshuang curled her lips and said, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it." She didn't know whose face had just turned red.

Jian Xi couldn't afford to be tired, so she returned to her room accompanied by Zi Cui and others. She wanted to lie down and rest whenever she had time.

However, the question raised by Heizi should indeed be considered. This is what it is like to be in a high position. Even if you don't want to move, the people below you still need to eat and drink.

These people have been in contact with the Gao family for a long time and cannot be let go easily. They know the Gao family's business too well. If the Gao family's opponents find out and recruit them, it will be troublesome again.

The Gao family has many businesses, and the caravan can operate a lot of things. Tea, cloth, grain, etc. can all be traded with other places.

Jian Xi had looked at the caravan's account books from previous years and already had an idea about how to allocate resources.

The White Tiger Dynasty is a land of outstanding people and talents, claiming to have gathered all the talented people in the world, and has a vast amount of books. The land is fertile, but not suitable for growing tea.

The Xuanwu Dynasty is located in the extreme north and is rich in crystal minerals. The wizards are good at cultivating ice elixirs. The ice lotus that Zhang Cen'er gave her last time is said to be able to make one's face ten years younger if consumed after boiling it in water. It is not known whether it is true or not. In such a wealthy country, food is always in short supply.

The Qinglong Dynasty is mostly populated by villages, with a spicy and heavy taste in the food. It has the oldest and most closed heritage, and is most famous for the various rare fungi in the mountains, which are said to taste extremely delicious. Cloth and silk from the Central Plains are as precious as gold in the Qinglong Dynasty.

Jian Xi is ready to give up the Suzaku Dynasty. It has a large population but is a poor country. The country has a strict hierarchy, with the upper class enjoying the most abundant resources while the lower class can barely get enough food. It is also surprising that this country is extremely xenophobic.

The area is rich in fruits, but these fruits are not long-lasting. The Gao family has a stronghold at the border between the Suzaku Dynasty and the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and they only do fruit business and don't touch anything else.

It was another tiring and stressful day, and Jian Xi lay in bed.

Reviewing the situation in the Northwest.

If she were Emperor Xuanyuan, what would she do?

I heard that Emperor Xuanyuan wanted to be the greatest emperor of all time and make achievements that surpass those of Emperor Taizu.

So what kind of achievements can be considered as unparalleled great deeds?

Also, why did the imperial palace transport gold and silver to Jiangning in cartloads?

Could it be——?
