Chapter 1400 Boss He
Five thousand taels of silver is really a lot of money. Most people's families will never see so much money in their lifetime.
However, in the eyes of Dongming Ziyu and his group, it really is nothing.
Shangguan Ruoli said politely: "We went to the snow mountain for something. We just happened to save Young Master He, so there is no need to be so polite. It's just a little effort, it doesn't cost anything."
The chief steward said: "You can't say that. You have to repay your life-saving kindness. Please don't refuse!"
As he said that, he looked at Dongming Ziyu, hoping that he would accept his words.
Dongming Ziyu had no expression on his face and said calmly: "My wife won't take it if she says she won't. It's really just a matter of effort."
Shangguan Ruoli's face turned red and he even pretended to rake his ears.
The butler did not give up because of this. He said that he would be punished if he failed to complete the task, so he left the banknote and left.
Shangguan Ruoli chuckled: "This Master He is quite down-to-earth, and he teaches the servants well."
Dongming Ziyu nodded, "Looks like he has good character. I still need to get in touch to see how he is."
Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows slightly, "You still want to have contact?"
Dongming Ziyu said: "We can borrow his caravan to go to Beiling."
Shangguan Ruoli understands that after the iron mine incident, the relationship between the two countries will probably become tense, and Beiling will definitely investigate Da Ming's caravan in the past.
The He family has been operating on the border for more than ten years, so they must be very familiar with Beiling and have their own network of contacts. It will be much more convenient to borrow light.
Dongming Ziyu had a lot of things to deal with. Shangguan Ruoli sent a few people to Baishan to catch all the snow lotus insects, and then went to find Bai Qingqing with several bottles filled with snow lotus insects.
When Bai Qingqing saw the snow lotus worms that were full of them, her eyes widened in surprise, "So powerful? I think it would be amazing if I could catch up to ten or eight at most."
"Who are we!" Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows arrogantly, and he and Bai Qingqing studied insects like snow lotus worms.
Bai Qingqing didn't believe her, "Tell me, what's going on? Many snow lotus insects are larger than usual. Could it be that someone breeds them?"
Shangguan Ruoli was surprised, "So smart?"
Bai Qingqing smiled and said: "What are you talking about? You can raise bees, ants, and grasshoppers, and naturally you can also raise snow lotus insects."
"That's right. In the future, even humans can be cloned, and artificial breeding is really nothing." Shangguan Ruoli leaned over to take a closer look at the snow lotus worms.
This insect has eight wings, which look like a lotus flower in full bloom.
The whole body is snow-white. When it is not moving, it disguises itself as a snow particle and can easily deceive the eyes of people and animals.
Bai Qingqing held a snow lotus insect with tweezers and said: "This insect likes the ice and snow environment, and is very resistant to a warm environment. It seems that something is added to the artificially bred feed to make them grow so big and reach the snow line.
It's down. I have to test it before I dare to use it as medicine."
Because of the high temperatures down the mountain, all the snow lotus insects died.
"But, I have sent people to get all those bugs back. If they can't be used, it will be in vain." Shangguan Ruoli thinks it is reasonable. If poison is used to feed it and the effect of the medicine is affected, it will be troublesome.
"It's okay, we can't keep these mutated varieties anyway." Bai Qingqing took out a small mortar, put a few snow lotus worms in, and started grinding them.
Shangguan Ruoli watched her grind out the white powdery crystal-like thing, and said in surprise: "It doesn't need to be dried, it can be ground directly into powder?"
She thought it would be a ball of meat, but now it looks like some snow foam.
Bai Qingqing explained: "After the insect dies, it becomes as hard as a rock."
After a while, the results of the analysis came out. The results were good. Although the farmed snow lotus insects were not as valuable as the wild ones, there was basically no big difference.
Bai Qingqing made this rare thing into medicinal powder and stored it in the space. He also gave some insects to Ling Yao to let her know about it.
The few people who raised snow lotus insects were also recruited. Those people were Beiling Xizuo. They raised snow lotus insects to deal with Da Ming's army.
Because although there is a chasm-like canyon between Daming and Beiling, people with good skills can still pass it.
However, after passing the canyon and entering Beiling, you have to climb over from the top of the mountain and let soldiers patrol. It would be a waste of troops. It is better to get some snow lotus insects and put them on the top of the mountain.
There are caves for raising snow lotus insects not only in Da Ming, but also in Beiling. It is not easy to find a suitable cave for raising snow lotus insects on the snowy mountains.
Moreover, snow lotus insects can also be sold for silver, which is a huge amount of income.
Dongming Ziyu sent people to secretly search the cave where they raised snow lotus insects, confiscated their snow lotus insects, and gave them all to Bai Qingqing.
This was all left to the people below, while Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli concentrated on becoming businessmen.
They bought all the seafood and some commodities they brought, but some cotton, cotton, silk, porcelain, tea and other items were not sold and were planned to be taken to Beiling.
As for the He family, they didn't come, and they didn't move forward.
However, they also secretly sent people to check the He family. With such a large family business, it was impossible for their hands to be completely clean, but there was nothing sinister and no signs of collaborating with the enemy or treason.
Anyway, the reputation on the surface is good, but privately, further investigation is needed.
On this day, Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli were playing with their children, and they heard a report from their subordinates about why they were so strong and why the master wanted to see them.
Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli looked at each other and asked Mr. He to be invited in.
Soon, a strong voice came from the yard.
"My benefactor! My benefactor! Come down and say thank you!"
The sound was so loud that it frightened the birds in the trees in the yard.
Dongming Ziyu took Shangguan Ruoli out to welcome him.
He Qiang is tall and has the typical characteristics of northerners, with a beard and spring breeze. He has a strong build, wears a floral brocade robe, and walks with his head held high.
Feeling good!
"I have met two benefactors. Thank you for saving Quan Zi!" He said, bowing deeply.
Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "It takes a little effort, Mr. He is so polite."
He Qiang said disapprovingly: "Hey! I'm so polite, my benefactor! You can't downplay your life-saving grace, not to mention that I'm an only son!"
Dongming Ziyu stepped aside and opened the door, "Please come inside to have tea and talk."
"Don't sit down, let's go and live in our house. My benefactor is in our Mozhen, how can we rent a house? Quickly, pack your luggage and come with me." He Qiang has a generous character.
I am full of gratitude and respect for Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli.
Naturally, Dongming Ziyu would not live in He Mansion. They were not really out to do business. That would be very inconvenient.
He refused directly: "Boss He, we appreciate your kindness. We are not just the two of us, but also have many companions. Moreover, we have other things to do, so we won't bother you anymore. It's not too late to bother Boss He again if we have the opportunity."
When He Qiang heard this, he frowned and said, "It's okay, there are plenty of vacant yards in our house, enough for you to live in."
