Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Xie Shang looked calm and composed. "We are merchants from the Zhou Dynasty who came to the South to do silk business. My wife likes South China's jewelry very much. She is getting mad when I don't buy her any. Sir, may I ask where in the South China you can find a store that sells top-quality gemstones? She doesn't like the stuff on the street."

The officers and soldiers were puzzled, "Are you businessmen?"

He took out a purse and handed it to the officer. "We are new to the South. We heard that the jade and jewelry in the South are famous, but we don't know where to buy them. Officer, please help show us the way. My wife can't sleep at night if she doesn't buy the jewelry she likes."

The officers and soldiers saw that they were wearing luxurious clothes and spending money lavishly. They knew at a glance that they were rich and stupid, so they immediately had evil thoughts. "You are right to come to the South to buy jade ornaments. There is no place in the world more famous for jade than the South."

No matter how valuable it is, it is of no use to the poor, as they can neither be eaten nor worn. Moreover, jade articles from the South are indeed sold at sky-high prices, so fools from all over the world still like to buy them.

Especially the people of the Great Zhou, they exchanged silk for stones, which was extremely stupid.

The two people in front of me were wearing jade ornaments all over their bodies and heads, and they were obviously wealthy people.

At this time, Jiang Jinyan came over and competed with the officers and soldiers for business. "This young man wants to buy good jade ornaments. I can take you to buy them. I often go to the South to do business and I am very familiar with this place. If you follow me, I guarantee that you can buy jade ornaments that are both cheap and high-end. There is an ancient street over there, which is full of shops selling jade ornaments. There are no fakes."

When the officers and soldiers heard that someone was coming to compete with them for business, they quickly said, "Who do you think you are to dare to come here to solicit business?"

"Sir, look at the streets. They are all merchants from all over the country. They are all here to do business. They are unfamiliar with the southern country. I am just introducing my jade wares. They are good and cheap."

Jiang Jinyan dressed up as a southerner because he used to go to the south for business often, so he spoke the southern dialect fluently.

He explained to Jiang Fenghua in the language of the Great Zhou Dynasty, "Our boss has been doing business in the South for fifty years. The jade ornaments and jewelry are all top-notch. In addition to jade ornaments, there are also pearls from the sea. Madam will definitely like them."

Jiang Fenghua had no choice but to hold Xie Shang's arm and said tenderly, "My husband, I want to buy a pearl necklace. Will you agree to it?"

"Buy, buy, buy. In addition to buying you a necklace, your husband will also buy you a hundred thousand top-quality pearls to make a phoenix coronet and bridal robe. When your husband marries you, you will wear it on your head. You will be adorned with jewels and you will be very beautiful."

Jiang Fenghua wanted to roll her eyes when she heard this number. She said in a tender voice, "Ah, one hundred thousand pills must cost a lot of money! It is my blessing to have the honor of meeting my husband."

"My dear, follow me from now on. I will buy you whatever you want."

"Thank you, husband." Jiang Fenghua showed the gem ring on her finger again, "I don't like this one, I want to buy a new one."

"You liked it yesterday, but you don't like it today."

"I just don't like it. There are so many jewels in the South Country. My husband should buy me more beautiful ones."

Xie Shang pulled the ring off her finger and threw it away, "If you don't like it, we can buy another one."

The officers and soldiers took one look at the ring. What an exquisite ruby ​​ring, worth tens of thousands of gold. How could they just throw it away?

Then another greedy soldier hurriedly picked them up and put them in his purse, saying, "If you really want to buy 100,000 pearls, it will cost millions of gold."

"You are worried that I don't have money." Xie Shang said in a deep voice: "Open the bag of money that I gave you as a reward. If you have a way, I will reward you again in the future."

The officers and soldiers quickly opened the purse, and found that it was a bag of gold, not silver.

The two men nodded with shining eyes, "We have a way."

Jiang Jinyan hurriedly stopped him, "Sir, if you really want to buy pearls, you can't buy 100,000 top-quality pearls in the entire South Country. If someone has so many pearls to sell to you, they must be fake, because the pearls in the South Country are sent by fishermen from the sea. My family's store has been open in the South Country for 50 years, and there are only 100 pearls in the store, and they are very valuable."

"Is that so? We want 100,000 pieces. How long will it take to get them all? Price is not an issue." Xie Shang added, "We also want top-grade jade and emerald."

Jiang Jinyan was embarrassed, "It seems that my family can't do business with you, because my family doesn't have so many top-grade pearls."

The officers and soldiers don’t have any either, but they can find their immediate superiors, and they have a lot of connections.

Soon, the news that a wealthy businessman had come to Licheng spread. They wanted to buy 100,000 pearls, but all the shops in Licheng combined probably could only hold less than 10,000 pearls!

Jiang Fenghua pretended to yawn and said, "I'm tired after a whole day's journey. Let's find an inn to rest first! It's getting late, so we can go shopping tomorrow."

The officer took the initiative to say, "Young Master, you are from the Great Zhou Dynasty. The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty have always been friends with the people of the Southern Kingdom. You haven't found an inn to stay in yet. We can find you the best inn in the Southern Kingdom."

Xie Shang did not hesitate at all and handed him another bag of gold. "Thank you for your help, sir. We have the soldiers from the Southern Kingdom to protect our safety. We have come a thousand miles from the Great Zhou and feel very friendly and safe. However, there are many of us, so we may have to book the entire inn to accommodate us."

"That's no problem. I guarantee that the young master and the lady will be satisfied." The officers and soldiers saw another bag of gold and their eyes sparkled. They felt they had made a fortune.

When Jiang Fenghua saw him take out two bags of gold, he cursed him as a prodigal son in his heart.

So the officer and soldier introduced himself again. His name was Wang Fu. He was a small team leader in the yamen, and was specifically responsible for the public security in this area.

Afterwards, Wang Fu personally sent them to an empty inn.

Wang Fu saw that they were pulling several large carts full of goods, including cloth, tea, etc.

While moving the goods, two boxes of gold were "accidentally" knocked over and fell out, which made him stare with amazement.

Xie Shang said to them, "I wonder if this inn is safe! I brought some pocket money with me, and I was afraid of encountering bandits, so I brought more people. If you can help me contact the channel for 100,000 pearls, I will reward you handsomely. If it is confirmed, I will have someone send enough money to the South Country to import more jade from the South Country and sell it in Da Zhou. Your jade from the South Country is very famous in Da Zhou and sells well."

"Don't worry, sir. Leave this matter to us two brothers. Just stay here and we guarantee that no one will dare to disturb you." After saying that, they went to catch the thief again.

When Jiang Fenghua saw Xie Shang's team, he realized that they had been prepared in advance. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Southern Kingdom personally sent Meng Yao and Shen Bingxuan to the inn, and no one would come in to search.

She thought to herself: Xie Qiyun is quite smart. He can think of this way to avoid the government search.

She said to Xie Shang: "What should we do next?"

"Aren't you sleepy? Go to sleep!" Xie Shang said.

Jiang Fenghua saw Lin Yu and the others staring at her in amazement, so she said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Go to bed."

After that she left.

Xie Shang caught up with her again and put his arm around her waist, deliberately saying, "I guess the owner of this inn that Wang Fu found must be someone special. If they knew that I sleep in separate rooms with my concubine, it would arouse suspicion."

"They are all obsessed with money. They don't care how many concubines Young Master Xie wants to take!" Jiang Fenghua found a guest room and went in directly.

Xie Shang followed quickly. She smiled slightly and pushed him out, locking him outside.

Xie Shang put his hands behind his back, trying to find a way to go in and sleep.
