Zhao Tingduo was outside dealing with the troublesome Di people, while Song Liyun went to comfort the frightened babies.
Speaking of which, these real assistants to her are just blank sheets of paper and need to be cultivated personally.
Unfortunately, they were all a group of children, the oldest were only eight or nine years old. At this time, they were all terrified and looked abnormal.
However, Song Liyun still found that several children were quite calm.
Especially the older ones, even though they were very scared, they still held the hands of other children.
Song Liyun nodded secretly: It seems that these children have formed friendships on the way here. This is a good phenomenon.
In many cases, individual strength is important, but unity is invincible.
She kept those bold children in mind and waited until everyone calmed down before starting to take the children away.
Back at the city lord's mansion, Song Liyun asked Sha Yi to prepare a dormitory for the children.
He himself carefully understood the situation of the children.
There are twenty children from oldest to youngest, including seven boys and thirteen girls.
Except for a pair of biological brothers and sisters, Wan Yanming found them all from various places on Southeast Road.
Some were converted into charcoal fires because their families were cold, others were sold by their parents for money, and there were even orphans who were disliked by their clansmen.
All in all, they are very uncaring about their hometown and their backgrounds are clear.
An accident changed their destiny, taking them from the warm and humid south of the Yangtze River to the bitter cold north.
Song Liyun named the oldest boy with a steady temperament: Yiming.
The second boy's name is: Erfan.
The boys in order of age are: Sanhe, Siyuan, Wuhong, Liuming and Qibao!
There are more girls, and they are also arranged in order of age. Song Liyun chose a poem as the title.
Bi Qi, Yu Rui, Zhuang Cui, Cheng Jiao, Yi Wan, Shu Chan, Gao Sha...
When the youngest girl was five years old, Song Liyun saw that her eyes were filled with tears and she was pitiful. She was somewhat similar to the Xiao An he saw when he first came to this world, except that Xiao An was thinner and timid, while this little girl was much more agile.
Song Liyun specially named her Xiaoye'er and kept her by his side.
Xiaoye'er and Yiming are brothers and sisters.
When I was bought by someone in the southeast, I could only say that I was temporarily out of danger. Now I see that I have truly settled down, which is my final destination.
Yiming was most worried that his sister would be disliked because of her young age, but it didn't happen after all.
I saw that my little sister was left by her mistress to teach her in person, so that she would no longer suffer hardships in the future.
With tears in his eyes, Yiming nodded to Song Liyun: "Yiming thanks Madam for your sister's kindness!"
Song Liyun accepted it calmly. She was a layperson and needed these things!
After sending the children to their rooms to rest, Zhao Tingduo came over with Song Dekui and Lin Qingyuan and Steward Wan not long after.
Steward Wan was sleeping in his caravan's residence just now. He had been tired from traveling for a long time, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down. He had no idea about the trouble on the street.
When he woke up, a boy came to report that the children he had given away had caused trouble, so he came over to see who could be so bold.
Zhao Tingduo said to everyone: "Those people came from the north. They only heard that there is a market here for shopping, so they took the risk and came here. There is no harm in it."
Since it is a misunderstanding, there is no need to pursue it!
The Di people are a nomadic people. Although they basically have fixed pastures, there are a few tribes that gather as they move and really have no fixed place to live.
This southern tribe is like this, wandering on the huge grassland. Before, it was still in the north, but now it wanders to the west, and they know the city of Mida.
"There are more than a hundred people in their tribe. They mainly raise cattle and sheep. They say they have a lot of wool that can be sold, but the distance is far and cannot be transported! I want to go to Hecheng after seeing the backwardness of the south."
Zhao Tingduo has been somewhat sensitive to wool since he knew about woolen fabrics.
He felt that it was necessary to go and see for himself such a new tribe that he had not conquered yet had wool.
Moreover, we need to discuss silk and woolen matters with my eldest brother. Taking advantage of the fact that the weather is just getting warmer, as long as the military supply camp is more efficient, we can put new clothes on the first batch of people in winter.
And there are those rumors... If Xuyang Caochang sends people to the capital with credentials, is there any news?
When Zhao Tingduo mentioned silk and woolen cloth, Steward Wan couldn't suppress the excitement on his face, which made Lin Qingyuan jealous and joked: "Mr. Wan's journey of thousands of miles is not in vain, and he has the wool and silk business. In the future, he can
Remember to take care of the younger generation."
Wan Guanshi didn't expect that he had just left Song Liyun for a few hours, and something would happen.
At this time, he didn't care about Lin Qingyuan's teasing. He just laughed and said: "Brother Lin, why are you teasing me? You made a lot of money from the rough stones you collected last year and sent them to the capital. Even the make-up for the Minister of the Ministry of Justice to marry his daughter.
It was bought at a high price.
Alas! It's a pity that I am old, and I have to work for a year.
You are still young and your days are still long. From now on, just follow the young lady in a down-to-earth manner and make money when you have time."
Since the Hecheng Qi family who originally monopolized grassland jade materials ran away, Lin Qingyuan and the garrison office took over the business.
One emperor and one courtier.
After changing the owner, the former jade dealers in the capital suddenly lost their supply of goods, and the price of jewelry and jade articles naturally increased. Lin Qingyuan's jade shop suddenly made a lot of money.
Now even the Palace Household Office's selection of goods is ordered by the Lin family's jade shop.
When Lin Qingyuan heard Manager Wan mentioning his jade material, he also chuckled, with an enigmatic smile on his lips.
Most people only see jade materials, and don't know that the horn button pieces sent out from the grassland can also make a lot of money by secretly poking them.
The two merchants were having fun together, while Song Dekui listened and played with his fingers leisurely.
He did not do business and only helped Song Liyun by running errands and doing miscellaneous tasks. His income was definitely not as good as those of these merchants.
However, Xiaoyun said that from now on, Daping and Xiaoan will be entrusted to him to take care of, and he will also share in several businesses in Ruijin Town.
He has to check the conditions of several carton factories and feed factories frequently and report to Xiaoyun on time.
In this way, only Song Liyun's status in the grassland remains unchanged. The more the Lin family earns, the more money Song Dekui gets from it.
At this time, when he heard the teasing and taunting of Wan Lin and the other two men, Song Dekui could only feel his money clanging, and his heart blossomed with joy.
On the second day, Zhao Tingduo went to his tribe with the sergeants from Leizi Camp and a few people from Nanka who had spent all their money buying salt tea.
In the city lord's palace, Song Liyun also held the largest merchant meeting.
It was said to be a conference, but in fact it only consisted of about 20 bosses and some responsible stewards, as well as the leaders of each caravan.
The meeting hall in the front courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion was just filled with dozens of people. Everyone looked surprised, wondering why Madam suddenly wanted to wait for others by herself!
In fact, Mida City is so big that everyone looks down every day without looking up.
We just met in the dining hall at noon, and again in the bathhouse in the evening. We have already become very familiar with each other.
It's just that everyone suddenly sat down in the city lord's mansion for the first time.
