Fight the Giants

  Chapter 147

  Tonight at Taoyedu, everyone seemed to meet again after a long absence.

   Talking about interesting stories about the sellers. Except for a few, such as the Yu family who exchanged all the goods from the Zou family, and they have not sold out, the rest of the houses have almost cleared their goods.

   Not to mention making more money, at least the money and hard work of this trip to Huai'an were earned. Those who are bold and earn more are naturally more happy. A trip to Huai'an earned more than one or two years of fishing.

  For example, Mrs. Sun, who emptied the goods of the two ships, wanted to count the copper coins and silver coins several times a day, and almost fell asleep with her arms around.

   This meeting met with Yang Shi, and dragged her to inquire about the Huo family's next calculations. I want to see if the Huo family will sell goods in the future, and what goods they will buy.

  I'm so interested in selling all the goods, I don't even care about fishing.

  Ma Ji and Ma Xiang asked for twenty taels of silver cloth at the beginning, and sold a piece of cloth for one cent and five cents, and made a profit of more than ten taels. The two brothers were very happy, and they were already thinking about buying another boat, one for each of the two brothers, so that they could find someone to talk about kissing.

   Specially kept a few big fish caught today, carried them onto the Huo family's boat, and insisted on fortifying them for the Huo family.

  Huo Erhuai didn't want it, and threw it directly into the Huo family's water tank.

  The family didn't have time to stop it. This can't be fished up and sent back, otherwise it will be a bit of a shame.

   Then he thanked the Ma brothers.

   Others followed suit. After a while, the Huo family's water tank was filled with more than half of the fish.

  Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi took out the wine and poured it for everyone. Everyone sat on the boats and chatted while drinking.

  Everyone has gained a lot from this trip to Huai’an, earning a few taels for less, and earning more than a dozen taels or twenty taels.

  Sun earns a lot. I was very happy at first, thinking that my own two boats transported more than others, and they must also earn more than others. But when I heard that the Maggie brothers had actually made fifteen or six taels, my heart skipped a beat.

  Her family also borrowed twenty taels at the beginning, plus their own savings, the capital is not small. But for linen, they only shared ten taels of silver with Huo's family, which is not as good as Ma's Yu's family earning more from selling cloth.

  Although Yu Jiang said that he only wanted ten taels of silver at the beginning, but he also exchanged the Zou family's cloth for fifteen taels of silver, and sold it with the Huo family in the outer city. This is higher than the interest rate of Maji and Maxiang brothers.

  Sun transported more goods than others. After hearing that the Maji brothers made more than a dozen taels, she was not as profitable as the other. Then he stepped forward and pulled Maggie to ask about the situation.

   "Huh? Are you selling it for one cent and five cents? It's so expensive, and there are still people buying it?" She sold it for one cent, three cents, four cents, and two cents.

  When Mrs. Sun asked the question, Huo Xi also listened carefully to the chats of the various families, what things were brought back at the beginning, and he was thinking about the gross profit of these things.

  She brought back not many varieties. After calculating the gross profit of each item before, the profit of linen and fur is the largest, followed by food. She didn't sell anything for daily use.

   This time, I heard that everyone bought miscellaneous things, and it was really like what she analyzed, and things like food and clothing for people's livelihood were easy to sell, and the profits were good.

  Of course, the expensive ones, such as jade jewelry, Chinese prickly ash and pepper, etc., it is estimated that the gross profit can be doubled.

   But the required cost is also high, Huo Xi never thought about it at all.

   Mrs. Sun may be a bit big-hearted, or maybe in order to diversify risks, he bought back a lot of miscellaneous goods. Although he sold them, the profit was varied. Overall, it is estimated that they are not as profitable as the Magee brothers.

  Although Sun didn't say how much she earned, she looked at the faces of the Maji brothers... she couldn't believe it, and regretted it. Huo Xi estimated that she didn't make much money.

  But she looked proud before, and it is estimated that more than ten taels should be earned. It's just that the two boats of one's own family earn as much as other people's one boat, so it's probably a bit confusing.

  So among the people like Taoyedu, those who followed Huo Xi to buy linen made the most money. For the twenty-five taels of silver in Yu Jiang's hands, after deducting the money for buying the boat and deducting the interest paid to the Huo and Zou families, there is still about ten taels left.

   Didn't you see that Zheng's expression became more cheerful because he had extra money in his hand, did you even pursed his lips to see the joy in his heart?

  Huo Xi glanced at Mrs. Sun and couldn't help but smile.

  Sit in the stern of the boat with Xiao Miaoer and Yaer to talk.

   "Do you two know how to drink water?"

  The two sisters shook their heads in unison.

   "Then I will teach you next time. We are fishermen, we live on the water, so we must know how to swim."

   "Let's teach now!" Xiao Miao'er was aroused, and her eyes were shining brightly.

   This is a child who aspires to be a successful fisher girl, Huo Xi smiled at her.

   "Now the water is cold, and it's night, and it's even colder now."

"I'm not afraid."

   kept grinding Huo Xi. Seeing that Huo Xi didn't move, Xiao Miao'er got up and jumped straight into the water.

   "Little Miaoer!" This kid is a tiger, a real tiger.

   There was no other way, so Huo Xi had no choice but to jump into the water, fearing that it would be too late to make her drink a lot of water.

  Everyone looked at it, not worried at all, and stood at the bow and stern of each ship to applaud.

Mrs. Zheng was worried at first, and turned her head to see that the man praised her daughter for being brave, but she didn't see any movement, and then saw several children jumping into the water. The water skills were pretty good, and the youngest daughter was supported by them. Under the circumstances, there is nothing wrong with him, and he still learns well.

   was relieved, and turned to talk to other women.

   "Sister, come down, come down."

The little girl was supported by Yang Fu, Huo Xi and others in the water, her head came out of the water, spit water out of her mouth, wiped her hair behind her forehead with her hand, and wiped it on her face. not afraid. She also encouraged her sister to go into the water.

  Yu Ya was a little awkward, Yu Jiang saw her, and encouraged her: "Ya'er also go into the water, let a few brothers and uncles teach you, don't be afraid, dad will watch here."

   Ya'er gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and jumped down.

  Huo Xi was amused. These two sisters have changed their identities very quickly. It seems that they should like life on the water very much.

  A group of half-sized children, under the light of the windbreak mast lights at the bow and stern of each house, splashed in the water, held their breath in the water, and made an appointment to fight. The adults talked about the next plan and the sale.

  Three young guys who newly joined Taoyedu, watching this scene, suddenly felt a little lonely.

   I really want to find a woman to marry and have a few children. Also like them, women cook and clean up at the bow, while men sit at the stern drinking wine and chatting. Talk about the catch of the day, and then watch your children playing in the water.

   This life is pretty good.

  Time is fast moving into November.

  Jingshi, Mufu.

Before dawn, in front of the gate of Xipinghou Mansion, Mu Yan helped Cheng, who was dressed in imperial attire, carefully get on the carriage. door away.

  On November 13th, the fourth year of Jianwen in the Wei Dynasty, Xu, the former concubine of Yan Wang, was registered as the queen.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites read the imperial edict at Chengtianmen, and proclaimed to the world: "... Zier Xu, the daughter of Xu Da, King Wuning of Zhongshan, is my concubine, and has assisted the vassal state for more than 20 years. , to help me in difficulties, to work together to found the country, now the world is cleared, I am a great treasure, and I allow you to help each other, so it is appropriate to be the title. Today, the special envoy enshrines Jin Baoli as the queen, in order to honor the unity of the gods, the mother respects the world, and the six palace…"

   It was the first to open and read the imperial edict on the gate of the imperial palace, and created a precedent for the later generations to issue an edict separately when the empress was appointed.

  At the same time, the empress Jinbao tortoise new that Taizu stipulated was elevated to Panlong tortoise.

  From the content of the edict to the emperor's words and deeds, all reflect the new emperor's sincere respect, gratitude and attention to the empress. With the edict, the status of the main wives in the families of the ministers has risen a lot.

  Those who regard the main wife as nothing and like to drill into the concubine's house have restrained a lot. He was afraid of being caught by others and rejected by the new emperor. All of a sudden, the breeze in each mansion was warm, and the houses were harmonious.
