Su Yunting was confused. He pointed at his nose and widened his eyes: "I'm going to Nanjing?"

While washing his hands in the copper basin, Gu Nanxi said calmly, "You were too weak to travel around before, but now you have become stronger than an average person. Don't you want to travel around? You have never seen the sea since you were a child, right?"

These words touched Su Yunting's heart.

Su Yunting was not a person who could sit still. In the past, he was constrained by his weak body and could not travel far.

Now that he was in good health and had his mother's permission, Su Yunting was eager to make a move...

Gu Nanxi's tone was like a summer evening breeze, blowing into people's hearts.

"Look at your brother Su Xuanming, who has been studying hard day and night for the future of the mansion, trying to gain fame! Your sister Yunyan has been working hard to save money and increase income for the mansion! Alas, I am not a qualified mother, and I cannot support you three siblings."

"Mother, don't say that! It is because of your fame that our business can grow so big!" Su Yunyan couldn't bear to see Gu Nanxi sad, so she hurried to comfort her.

Su Xuanming also quickly expressed his opinion: "As the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion, it is my duty to pass the imperial examination and maintain the glory of the Marquis's Mansion. It was my ignorance before, and it made my mother so exhausted!"

Su Yunting looked at his sister, then looked at his brother. By comparison, he seemed to be the one with the least work to do?!

"Mother! I'm going to Nanjing. Do you have any other instructions?" Su Yunting knew that his mother always thought ten steps ahead and always liked to do things that killed several birds with one stone.

I was sent to Nanjing not only to fulfill my own wishes, but there must be other things to be explained.

Sure enough, Gu Nanxi said, "You are going to Nanjing to supervise the shipyard. If there are people who are blind and cause trouble to the shipyard, you can solve them immediately. If you can't, please write to us."

"it is good!"

"Secondly, you take the old Taoist priest over there to develop firearms. That place is close to the sea, so even if there is a big noise, no one will care. The cannon you mentioned last time, let the old Taoist priest think carefully about whether it can be installed on the ship."

Su Yunting took a breath and said, "Second Mother, you want to..."

Gu Nanxi winked at Su Yunting and said mischievously: "Our journey is to the sea of ​​stars!"

Su Yunting's heart skipped a beat. Nanjing's geographical location was very important. It could reach Jiaozhou Island to the north and the Southeast Asian countries to the south.

If you only want to do business with Southeast Asia, why not choose Mingzhou or Wenzhou as the location of the shipyard?

That side is closer to Nanyang!

A Niang chose Nanjing as the address, which means he also has ideas about the north!

Su Yunting silently drew a map in his mind and vaguely grasped Gu Nanxi's intention!

When he thought of his own guess, a warm current surged into Su Yunting's chest.

Su Yunting's voice trembled as he said firmly, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"Good boy, I'll leave everything to you!"

In order to successfully complete the task assigned by Gu Nanxi, Su Yunting went to Gengjia Village early the next morning. He chatted with Old Man Geng for a while, then ran to find the old Taoist priest and asked him and his apprentice to prepare to go south.

At the same time, Gu Nanxi's plan to open a shipyard in Nanjing caused an uproar throughout Kyoto.

When the tea drinkers in Fuquan Teahouse heard the messenger say this, they all thought he was a liar!

"How is that possible?! Even the transfer of ownership of a house takes four or five days. A shipyard involves so many things, how can all the paperwork be completed in just one or two days?"

"That's right, this doesn't make sense! When did the officials in Kyoto become so efficient?!"

The person who spoke swore to the heavens, "What I said is true. Xing Lao San has already packed his luggage with his family, and the wife of Yongchang Marquis has also sent Su Jia Erlang to Nanjing. Now Su Jia Erlang is selecting guards!"

"But where does he get so much money?!"

Although no one knows how much wealth the Yongchang Marquis Mansion has, unless they have discovered a gold mine, that amount of wealth is not enough to open a shipyard!

Someone did some calculations and thought that this was not impossible: "This shipyard doesn't need to spend so much money all at once! Invest a part in the early stage, and then pay the money one by one later. When the shipyard produces passenger ships, it can get back a large amount of funds!"

"That's right. The rent of the Dashi Style Street, the profits of the shops across the street, and the Baiwei Restaurant. The "Lu Ban Book" published by Baihua Printing Factory is extremely popular and everyone has a copy!"

"Mei Yan Niang's makeup and powder shop has also opened. On the first day of opening, all the cosmetics in it were sold out!"

"Toothpaste and toothbrushes are all over Kyoto! The grocery store in my neighborhood is also selling toothpaste and toothbrushes!"

"I've used that toothpaste and toothbrush before. It's cheap and easy to use! It's so easy to use that I brush my teeth every day at home. It's very time-consuming!"

Some merchants secretly calculated in their hearts that these were big businesses with long-term benefits!

Especially cosmetics, which have low costs but high prices! Although toothpaste and toothbrushes are cheap, they are used by many people every day. They may seem insignificant, but they add up to a lot of money.

The key point is that when other businessmen come to Kyoto to do business, rent accounts for a large proportion of their expenses!

But the wife of Marquis Yongchang owns so many shops, any one of them would be enough for them.

As for the toothpaste and toothbrush business, they don’t even need a shop. They can get the goods directly from the factory and distribute them to various grocery stores, thus saving even the shop fees!

Qingqi couldn't help but gasp at the thought, and felt that she was indeed the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang. One thing led to another: "How could this be the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang? This is clearly the second Guan Zhong!"

Whoever marries a daughter-in-law like this will really bring home a treasure pot.

Although they know how to spend money, they are even better at making money!

I heard that her little girl is also good at business!

The other noble families who heard the news couldn't help but tear up.

Especially those mistresses of the house, all began to blame their husbands.

"I've already told you that you should build a good relationship with the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang, but you said that the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang had offended the noble and that we shouldn't get too close to her! Look at her now, she doesn't look like she has offended the noble, and she's even opening a shipyard!"

"Don't tell me about those court affairs. I only know that the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang makes money as fast as sweeping with a broom! So what if her Su Yunyan is out in the limelight? So what if she has a hot temper! With this ability to make money, she is enough to marry into my family!"

"You always say that girls are short-sighted, and sooner or later, the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang will fall flat on her face. Haha, it's a really big fall, she even fell to Nanjing to open a shipyard! You say, if we had established a good relationship with her early on, wouldn't we be able to get involved in this shipyard?!"

"It's fine that you look down on the Marquis of Yongchang, but you also don't allow us to interact with the Marquis's wife. Now they are eating meat, but we can't even have a sip of soup!"

The defense is broken, the defense is broken!
