I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 286 That’s okay

What's more, the reason why Shen Changsui dared to let Shen Xiaoye take the lead and go out of confinement was because Chen Huwei, a mature and steady man, was helping him.

"Shen Xiaoye, whether it's for the future of my escort agency or the expansion of your cloth business, it's always a good idea to make friends with the border troops." Lu Guan believed that his future escort agency would focus on protecting the escort from the capital to the northern border towns.

Shen Xiaoye nodded, "Okay, I'll try to persuade Guard Chen, but why don't you explain it to him in person?"

As he spoke, he raised his chin to signal him to look back, and saw Guard Chen riding a horse galloping towards him in the distance.

But he was stopped by the soldiers.

"Why did he leave Geng Ge'er and the others behind and come here?" Lu Guan ran to meet them.

Shen Xiaoye let the black cat chase after him first, then he went to find the frustrated shopkeeper Dai and said, "You don't have any goods with you, and you reported it in time..."

"Miss Shen." Shopkeeper Dai stopped her from talking immediately after hearing this. After looking around, he said cautiously, "Big merchants have many connections. You should ask the people above for mercy on my behalf. Don't let me testify in court, okay?"

He clasped his hands together and said, "Please, once I go to the hall, it will be hard to find big merchants willing to buy my tea."

"I'll try to mention it to General Wang." Indeed, if those who provided the information leaked the information and were ostracized, it would be inappropriate if no one would cooperate with the government troops in the future.

This is what Shen Xiaoye thought, and this is what she told General Wang. The reason why she didn't go to see Chen Hu was that Xiao Xuanmao came back and said that everyone in his camp was safe.

Moreover, Cousin Geng was worried about her, so he asked Guard Chen to follow and check, and the latter was naturally happy to do so.

Lu Guanhao tried to persuade him, but Guard Chen was determined to go with him this time, and said, "Miss Shen has sold all her goods, and the trade is short this time, so she can leave tonight.

We were responsible for sending them to Datong overnight, and then hired local escorts to escort them.”

In short, he couldn't leave the Fourth Young Master behind to do other things, because his primary responsibility was to protect the Fourth Young Master.

No matter how Lu Guan tried to persuade him, Guard Chen would not leave his side from that moment on.

Even Shen Xiaoye's lengthy persuasion did not shake him at all.

More than an hour later, a team of carriages and horses carrying many merchants from the horse market arrived. After General Wang discussed with the civil servants and eunuchs who arrived, they directly took away the grain and sold the goods to these people.

Each merchant was guarded by two soldiers and a clerk from the horse market, and Shen Xiaoye had no way of telling which one was a member of the Huo family.

But this is none of her business. The right thing to do is to pick things up and buy them quickly.

Lu Guancai used the excuse of buying more goods for Shen Xiaoye to get rid of the people.

He wiped his nonexistent sweat and said, "It seems that I can only ask General Wang to send a small flag to take you home."

“No need, the further you go in, the safer it is.

Not only would it be a waste of favors to ask them for help, but I would also have to spend more money on food and lodging along the way. ” Shen Xiaoye was unwilling.

She also said: "Hurry up and get some stuff for me. I can bring it back to Datong and sell it like hot cakes."

The seized goods included not only tea cloths, but also iron pots, kitchen knives, porcelain, cotton and so on.

Of course, all the ironware, including cloth and cotton, were taken away by the soldiers separately. After choosing and choosing, Shen Xiaoye felt that the clerks' offers were too high, so he finally had to give up the purchase.

Lu Guan said: "These things are only for merchants with a permit. You can't sell them to Dada people, so how can you make any money?"

"Profit without any investment!" Shen Xiaoye was extremely envious.

After returning, Captain Wang came to her and said, "Miss Shen, can you please exchange the strips of cloth I used to buy for silk and take it away with you?

In this way, you don't have to go to the general's mansion to collect the debt again."

"What's the price? Where is it produced?" Shen Xiaoye followed him into the horse market.

This time, there was no one else around her except Little Black Cat. After all, Lu Guan and Guard Chen knew something and had been called away by General Wang.

"Aren't they all silk?" Captain Wang was stunned by the question.

Shen Xiaoye told him: "The prices vary depending on where they are produced."

Captain Wang said, "The price is based on the price list given by the Imperial Household Department."

When Shen Xiaoye heard this, he immediately had a bad premonition. Then he came to a row of large carts. Captain Wang lifted the oilcloth on the cart with the number two on it, and all he saw was a bright red silk material.

She took out a piece and looked at it carefully: "It has no dark patterns and has the words Lu silk written on it.

In the capital, a piece of cloth is 36 feet long, and its market price is 2.5 taels and 6 coins.

"Purchase price?" Captain Wang took the price list handed over by the clerk and looked for the price of the cart: four taels per piece.

Shen Xiaoye glanced at the price and sighed inwardly, it seems that he can't afford it, it's too expensive, "No, selling price.

Captain Wang, if it really doesn't work, we can use the blue cloth to exchange for the blue cloth, and just consider it as the two thousand pieces we lent you before, how about that?"

"This..." Captain Wang felt that even if it was two taels and six cents, she would not agree, but settling for Lu silk was really too good a deal.

So he said, "Look, I'll allow you to sell it at the market for four ounces."

"..." Shen Xiaoye calmed his breath secretly, "Three taels."

Captain Wang decisively refused: "No, I don't have the authority to do so."

Shen Xiaoye spread his hands and said, "Then don't change it. I'd rather wait until the end of the month to settle the bill in Datong City."

"We have to wait until the beginning of the month to settle last month's expenses, and then we will mix the treasure banknotes, silver, sumac and pepper together." Captain Wang finally told the truth.

Shen Xiaoye took a breath and said, "I can choose the salt guide."

But when she saw the other party's frown, she thought: It's bad, the court is short of silver and has never allowed much silver to circulate among the people, which has caused the treasure notes to depreciate, so she never touches them.

Along the way, she mostly collected gold ingots or bills from big money houses in the capital.

They are the home team, and you won’t get any cash if you just say something.

So he quickly bowed and smiled: "How about half blue cloth and half silk?

You also know that all the wealthy Dadagui have gone to Beijing to pay tribute and receive rewards. How many of the remaining people would choose silk?

Because of this battle, they can’t even survive the winter, otherwise they wouldn’t have insisted on sending thousands of people.”

"Blue cloth is six cents." Captain Wang waved the price list and decided to go by the market price.

"Okay." Shen Xiaoye smiled while gritting her teeth. She had decided that if General Wang came to her to buy cloth again in the future, he would not.

If supplying other garrisons and border towns, it is necessary to first agree to use salt permits to settle the bill. After all, it was Lu Guan who handled the purchase of cloth by General Lu, so that he did not suffer any loss.

She advised herself that it would be good to realize the difficulty of doing business with government troops as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the other party told her a good news: "With the permission of His Majesty, the trade will be extended for three days."

"That's great." Shen Xiaoye picked out seventy-five pieces of Lu silk and blue cloth. She no longer trusted Captain Wang, so while counting the cloth, she secretly wrote a note and asked Xiao Xuanmao to give it to her cousin.

So after returning the deed, he immediately said, "I will take back what I can't sell today. Tomorrow you will need a token of passage to come in.

Besides, I need to notify my family to come in and help, is it okay to let Maoer do that?"
