Chapter 54

Bai Xu looks at Shi Qingluo.

"I'd say I can't get a horse?"

Shi Qing raised her eyebrows. "Then I'll get it from other places. Let's finish the business we just said, and I'll replace others."

If she can't help each other, she doesn't have to cooperate with the Bai family.

Bai Xu: "..." was pinched to death by this woman again.

I don't know why. He has a feeling that this woman is not simple.

She may not only say what she said in the bookstore before, but also make something else in the future.

Therefore, the helpless color on his face is stronger, "OK, I'll try to help you."

"But no more than five horses. The imperial court is very strict in the management of horses."

He added, "I can get a few because my brother-in-law is in the livestock business."

Shi Qing's eyes brightened. "Is your uncle still in the business of cattle, sheep and pigs?"

Bai Xu doesn't know why when he mentioned the livestock business, Qing Luo reacted so strongly.

"Do it! My uncle mainly does business with grassland herdsmen. Horses, sheep and cattle are transported back to Daliang from there and sold."

"Of course, because we often have to go deep into the grassland to collect livestock, this business is very dangerous. It is tantamount to fighting with our lives."

It's no secret.

His mother's family is a big businessman in the next town. At the beginning, his mother married his father entirely because she liked it. It was a low marriage.

Therefore, there is no messy struggle between wives and concubines in the back house. He has only his own brothers and sisters, and no brothers and sisters from concubines.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "in addition to five horses, I also want to buy a batch of cattle, sheep and pigs with your brother-in-law."

Bai Xu picked his eyebrows. "My uncle does big business. He sells cattle, sheep and pigs from at least 100."

Shi Qingluo also raised her eyebrows. "Why, do you think I can't afford it?"

Bai Xu nodded, "can you afford it?"

I didn't know who was staring at the deposit he wanted to spend. How much money would it cost to buy hundreds of cattle, sheep and pigs?

Shi Qingluo said confidently, "I can't take it out. I can take it out in an hour or two."

Bai Xu chuckled: "don't say you can juggle."

Shi Qingluo looked at Bai Xu with a stupid look, "I can't do tricks, but after you see how I turn brown sugar into white sugar, the money will come?"

She added meaningfully, "you sent it yourself."

All I have to do is say plainly, what I have collected is your wool.

Bai Xu: "..." he almost forgot about it. The woman really counted everything in it.

"You can." He doesn't even know what to say.

Shi Qing lifted his chin, "that's!"

Young master Bai is still too young to fight with her.

Xiao Hanzheng looked at his little daughter-in-law with a smile in his eyes.

He took out his handkerchief and reached out to wipe the tea foam on her lips.

Shi Qing didn't move and let him wipe it.

Also let Bai Xu have a black line. Xiao Hanzheng really subverted his understanding of him.

So Junya's little Sanyuan will wipe her mouth for her daughter-in-law

The three sat on the carriage chatting.

When approaching the village, Xiao Hanzheng suddenly said, "it seems that someone has been following us."

Bai Xu was stunned and raised a hidden small window at the end of the carriage.

Sure enough, I saw a boy riding a horse not far behind.

He closed the window. "It should have followed me. It's a boy of the Wu family."

He was unhappy that the Wu family was going too far and had people follow him to the countryside.

Hearing what he said, Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qing looked at each other. They all felt that the people of the Wu family were more likely to follow them.

But he didn't say it. After all, Bai Xu shouldn't know about the earth explosives.

Besides, they are not completely sure whether the other party's goal is them or Bai Xu.

Shi Qingluo urged Bai Xu, "so pull down the Wu family quickly, and you Bai family can be the richest man in the county. You don't have to be watched from time to time."

Bai Xubai glanced at him. "I think so, but it's not easy to bring down the Wu family. Behind them is the magistrate."

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "then bring down the magistrate. I believe your Bai family can."

Bai Xu: "..." I thank you for your compliment.

This woman is trying to encourage them to work with the Wu family!

"You're wrong. Our Bai family is not so good." He smiled.

When he said so, he actually liked what he said at the same time.

If the Wu family and the magistrate don't come down, their white family won't come out so easily.

The Bai family had the opportunity to intervene and expand the business of Fucheng several times. Unfortunately, they were deliberately suppressed by the magistrate and had to give up.

His uncle was framed in Fucheng and almost went to jail. His family was forced to give 10000 liang of silver to protect him.

Had it not been for their presence in the capital, it is estimated that his family would have been destroyed and annexed by the Wu family together with the magistrate, like another large merchant.

Anyway, the feud between the Bai family and the Wu family and the magistrate has long been settled.

He reminded, "you also had a grudge with the Wu family. After that, childe Xiao will go to Fucheng for a rural examination. Be careful."

The reason why he was more relieved to cooperate with Xiao Hanzheng was that he found that they had grievances with the Wu family.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "I will."

There is still more than a year left for the provincial examination. He will try to pull the magistrate off before the examination.

He also said with deep meaning, "maybe we have cooperation opportunities other than business."

Bai Xu was a smart man and said with a smile, "it's not impossible."

He found that Xiao Hanzheng was not a simple person. He was not only good at reading, but also good at martial arts. Otherwise, it was impossible to find someone following him.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and didn't mention this topic again. Just know it in your mind.

When they got home, the three got out of the carriage.

The Wu family boy who followed them turned around and left before they got off the carriage.

Several people ignored it.

When she got home, Shi Qingluo put the spices and meat she had bought into the kitchen.

Holding a jar, he came out of the kitchen and handed it to Bai Xu, "this is the sugar I made yesterday."

"If you don't dislike it, you can have a simple meal in our house. I'll ask my sister-in-law to fry more dishes made of tofu."

Bai Xu took the jar, "of course I don't dislike it. I'll disturb you."

He also wants to try the dish made of tofu.

Then I opened the jar and saw that there was a lot of sugar in it.

Stirred it with a spoon. It was all clean white sugar.

He asked, "you're not made of sugarcane, are you?"

Shi Qing nodded, "no, I'm made of a kind of beet."

"In the future, our family will open a sugar workshop and invite people to plant in large areas."

"If our cooperation is quite pleasant, we can mainly sell you white sugar in the future."

Bai Xu said with a smile: "cooperation will be happy. I want as much sugar as I want."

He is more interested in this, "do you want me to witness that yellow sugar turns white sugar now?"

Shi Qing sat down and asked, "don't worry first. Should we talk about the price first?"
