Fight the Giants

  Chapter 161 General Package

  At the entrance of Huo's house in Qionghua Lane, three carts were parked, and the door was busy going in and out.

   "Okay, you won't be able to fit it on the cart, so you still have to load it." Xiao Miaoer glared at Qian Xiaoxia. After a while, the frame fell apart and I had to pay the car dealer for repairing the car.

   "It can still be installed."

   "Install these first." Seeing that Qian Xiaoxia still wanted to add more goods, Huo Xi stopped him.

   "Let's sell it first. If it's not easy to sell, the appearance will be ruined by tossing around. If you can't sell it, you can't return it. If you sell it at a discount, you will lose money."

   "That's right, greedy can't chew it." Yang Fu couldn't help but say him.

  Seeing everyone's persuasion, Qian Xiaoxia touched his nose: "Then let's do this first."

  After the three carts were loaded, everyone pushed out of the alley together.

  Seeing that Mrs. Yang wanted to follow, Huo Xi said to her: "Mother, why don't you stay with Nian'er at home, maybe you'll be back late tonight, I'm afraid Grandma Zou won't be able to get Nian'er by herself."

   "It's okay, if Aunt Zou can't coax her to read, you and Aunt Guan will be there. You will enter the inner city the first day tonight, and I won't worry if you don't follow me."

   Seeing her insistence, Huo Xi had no choice but to obey her.

  Following the trolley and walking out of the alley, seeing the three big trolleys full, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

  Before selling goods in Mochou Lake, some of them could not be sold, so she wandered around to find out the situation.

   After walking for two days, I decided to take advantage of the New Year's Eve and continue to sell it. It is impossible to stop. Now that it is cold, the fish are not bubbling.

  Freshwater fish are not very resistant to low temperature. In winter, their activity is low and they don’t like to move. Most of them shut their mouths and don’t eat. In winter, the water temperature in the upper layer is low and the water temperature in the lower layer is higher, so the fish sink to the bottom.

  If the fish is not easy to catch, everyone will have no income. The adults in Taoyedu do not earn as much as the half-grown children who go to the city to sell with baskets, and the little Miao has earned several taels of silver in ten days. Everyone's eyes are hot.

  Huo Erhuai couldn't bear the torture from the crowd, so he came to torture Huo Xi.

  Huo Xi couldn't bear Huo Erhuai's grinding. Besides, she had some plans in mind.

  He wandered around the city every day at dawn, and then transported goods to his small yard, like a squirrel hiding for winter, moving everything he saw to his home.

   Move more and more.

Today I plan to let Maji Maxiang, Qian Xiaoxia and Qian Xiaoyu sell some daily food and other goods along the moat, and she will bring the Zou family's boat, and the three single-ship boats that later joined Taoyedu , ready to enter the inland river along the Qinhuai River to sell and sell.

  The boats of these four families are not big, just a little bigger than the half-meter wide boat. There is no burden to enter the inland river.

  Although the Zou family’s boat is larger, its width is only about 1.5 meters, so it should be no problem to pass through the culvert.

  When the three carts pushed to the ferry, Huo Erhuai and Yu's boat were no longer there.

  Huo Erhuai and Yu Jiang took the goods early in the morning and headed out of the city.

  Huo Xi felt that there were probably quite a few people going to the city to watch the excitement during this time, so he asked Huo Erhuai to lead a few families to row the boat to the village along the river.

   Fishing is not easy to do, so I took some villagers into the city to watch the fun, and picked up the villagers who went in and out of the city several times a day, and I could earn a lot. If I sold goods together, I could earn a few more copper coins.

The city is very lively during this time, many good things that have never been seen before, delicious food, emerge in endlessly, sell these good things in the city to the villages along the river, the villages near the capital have many wealthy households, and they will definitely sell a lot .

  After hearing Huo Xi's idea, many people in Taoyedu asked for goods from Huo's family, started to carry individual passengers, and then also sold goods.

   In this way, there are Taoyedu businesses on the periphery of the capital, the outer city and the inner city.

   Seeing little Miaoer tiptoeing to find her own boat, Yang was afraid that the child would be sad, so she greeted her: "Your parents will come to pick you up in the evening."

   "I know. My parents said they would come to pick me up and my sister at night."

  Huo Xi glanced at her, seeing her excited face, felt that her mother was thinking too much.

   So they called several ships to load the goods, and after the goods were loaded, they began to divide the people.

  Nine people and four boats, the Zou family's boat was slightly bigger, so Yang took Huo Xi on board the Zou family's boat, and Xiao Miaoer, Yu Ya, and Zou Sheng each chose a boat.

  Changyou, Qi Defu, and Mi Mancang are all single guys. They are eighteen or nineteen years old, and they don’t have any burdens from their families. If they earn more, they can subsidize their families, and if they earn less, the three of them can survive.

   It was the person Huo Xi wanted to win over.

   Just took this opportunity to see their temperament. Huo Erhuai went to hunt with them at night and shared the money. He felt that the three of them had good personalities, but Huo Xi wanted to see for himself.

  This time, everyone in Taoyedu asked her family to help them buy goods, and Huo Xi was very excited to get goods from her house. All of a sudden, the previously hazy plan also began to become clear.

  How long can a person save money alone?

  If she has a fleet and everyone gets goods from her for distribution, then the sales channel will no longer be single. As soon as the sales channel is opened, the goods are sold continuously...

  Although I want to share the profit with everyone, but the sales volume has increased, so the profit will also increase?

  And why do you have to worry about selling goods by yourself, there are so many channels, and your own family can't escape. Wouldn't it be better to let others sell the goods for you, and just find the goods and distribute them yourself, so it would be better to be a general distributor?

   "Sister Xi'er, what are you thinking again?" Xiao Miao'er covered her mouth and laughed.

  Mr. Yang glanced at Huo Xi and sighed. This child is too thoughtful.

  The family is able to live a good life now, not to mention nearly an hectare of land, and these days they spend money at home every day. When there are many nights, there are dozens of taels, and when there are few, there are more than a dozen taels.

  Sometimes she and Huo Erhuai counted copper plates and stringed them together, and their fingers cramped.

  Now her husband and wife are holding two or three hundred taels of silver in their hands, wondering whether they should find a house in the outer city to buy if good land cannot be bought.

  But I was afraid that Xi'er would need money.

   Xi'er's grandfather didn't know where she was exiled, otherwise she and Erhuai had discussed sending some things over there. But he was afraid of ruining Xi'er's affairs. Seeing that Xi'er didn't mention it, the two also covered up the money and didn't dare to use it.

   "Sister Xi'er, we're almost at Dongshui Pass." Seeing that Huo Xi was still thinking about something, Xiao Miao'er hurriedly raised her voice in Huo Xi's direction.

  Huo Xi came back to his senses, looked left and right, the boat had already rowed to Tongji Bridge.

  Seeing the setting sun shining on the river surface, the water was sparkling with light waves. After crossing the Tongji Bridge is Dongshuiguan, and after crossing Dongshuiguan, it is Shili Qinhuai.

   People can't help but feel shocked.

  The Qinhuai River has two sources in the north and the south. The north source flows from Baohua Mountain. When it reaches the capital, it is divided into two streams. One stream flows along the outer city to form a moat, and finally flows into the Yangtze River. The other stream flows into Jinling City through Dongshuiguan.

  Dongshuiguan is the entrance of the Qinhuai River into Jinling, and it is also the starting point of the Shili Qinhuai River.

  Huo Xi straightened up involuntarily, and looked at the tall building in front of him.

  The three big characters "Dongshuiguan" came straight into view.

   It was excavated by Sun Quan of Soochow to divert water into the city. In the current dynasty, when Taizu built the city wall, he expanded the original foundation to what it is today.

  Dongshuiguan is the only entrance to the Jinling city wall lock. There are two water gates in Jinling City, the east water gate enters and the west water gate exits.

  The building in front of me is a masonry structure with three floors. Each floor has 11 coupons. The coupons are also called "Yanyue Cave".

  The bottom layer adjusts the water level of the Inner Qinhuai River and prevents flooding. Only the culvert in the middle is open to ships, and the rest are equipped with iron fences to prevent enemy troops from sneaking attacks from the waterway.

   Viewed from a boat, it is tall and majestic, and the water gate building is integrated with the city wall. People can't help but be in awe.

  Although Yang and the others fish in the Qinhuai River every day, they have never been to Dongshuiguan. Can't help but stare dumbfounded.
