Chapter 294 Get on the Line with Parents and Adults
Chapter 294 Connecting with parents
Huo Xi couldn't help but think about it.
The people of Fan like the porcelain of our dynasty very much, and most of the goods shipped back to Fan are also porcelain.
However, there were many kilns in the Wei Dynasty, and all kilns were opened at ports and wharves. Even if she cut out the middlemen and bought porcelain directly from the kilns and sold them to foreigners, she would not make much profit.
Of course, if it were to be shipped directly to the sea and shipped to other countries, it would be a huge profit. But she is not yet able to go to sea.
So is it possible to make a fuss about porcelain? It is of course necessary to reduce middlemen. If we can produce ceramics with patterns and patterns that suit people's taste and aesthetics, will we be able to sell them at a better price?
Wen Xingning was chatting warmly with Yang Fu when he saw Huo Xi next to him looking straight at him, giving him goosebumps.
Fortunately, he is not as handsome as his Wind Clan brother, otherwise he would have thought that he was attracted to him.
Wen Xingning trembled again when she was spotted by a half-grown boy.
He is not a brother of the Feng clan. In Yuezhou, wherever the brother of the Feng clan goes, men and women follow him. Because he is so handsome, the uncle of the clan does not let him go out and only lets him burn porcelain at home.
Huo Xike didn't know what he was thinking. After thinking about the possibility of drawing someone to make porcelain, he became even more enthusiastic about Wen Xingning.
When you are away from home, you have many friends and many paths to follow. The man in front of you, who has been a kiln maker for several generations, can be said to be very well-established. It is worth making friends with him. Therefore, I am even more enthusiastic towards him.
Wen Xingning was very happy to be coaxed by his uncle and nephew. He talked to Yang Fu and Huo Xi about many things about the kiln entrance and the porcelain.
He also made an appointment to have dinner and drinks together when he went to the capital.
It wasn't until the moon was in the sky that they returned to their ship. Huo Xi and Yang Fu arranged for a night watchman and went into the cabin to sleep.
The Huo family spent the whole night guarding against water thieves, so they could spend the night safely.
I don’t know if this wave of water thieves only had so many people and they were wiped out by them, or if the organization lost a large number of people and couldn’t recover at once, but it allowed everyone to spend the night safely.
Huo Erhuai looked at the large and small ships near his home and felt a little worried.
"Xi'er, I didn't expect so many ships to know that our family fought with water thieves yesterday. What if the water thieves find out about us from others and take revenge on us?"
Huo Xi comforted him: "It's okay, Dad. Can the evil suppress the good? It's the honest people who were stolen or robbed who were afraid and didn't dare to deal with the bad guys, which made the water thieves become more arrogant. They just want to suppress each one and die.
Only by suppressing them and beating them until they are afraid will there be less water thieves and the trade route can be smooth."
Huo Erhuai sighed.
I heard that there are many pirates at sea. Why are there so many people who get something for nothing? There are bandits blocking the road on land, water thieves on water, and pirates on sea. It is really not easy for merchants to get a bowl of rice.
Seeing that Huo Erhuai was still frowning, Huo Xi comforted him: "When we go back, my uncle and I will find some good people with good skills. Next time we go out, we will bring more people with us. I don't know when we will come back next time.
Be stable for a while.”
Yang Fu also comforted Huo Erhuai.
She glanced at Huo Xi again and thought that it would be better not to let Xi'er come out next time. If something happened to her, the child would probably cry to death.
As soon as the sky turned white, the Huo family's ship set off with its two cargo ships, and the Wen family's ship followed closely behind.
When the boats parked nearby saw the Huo family's boat moving, they all took shelter from the wind.
Not only merchant ships are afraid of water thieves, passenger boats are also very afraid of water thieves.
These water thieves are extremely vicious. They not only seek wealth, but also rob people. They steal and sell people in every dynasty and every generation. They can get a lot of money by selling them to the mines or smuggling them out to sea.
Those passenger boats had little ability to protect themselves when encountering water thieves. It was hard to find a ship that was fully prepared and capable of fighting the water thieves, so naturally they had to follow it from a distance.
It took five or six days to travel on the water from Songjiang back to the capital, and only one night had passed. No one dared to take it lightly.
Huo Xi was worried all the way, but the mediocre Li family finally let go of their worries.
Originally, the Xiang family near the Li family was a local landowner with some money. The family also had several talented people who were well-known in the local area. They wanted to let the eldest daughter of the Li family, Ming Jin, marry their own idiot.
Son Xiang Dafu.
All kinds of coercion and inducement made several children in the Li family afraid to go out.
It was Huo Xi who sent money to the Li family, and also sent some good things from time to time, and taught the Li family a craft to make money. The Li family sold the velvet flowers and started operating with the money.
Shangyong County is located on the edge of Sichuan and Shu in the southwest. It is a remote place. But no matter how remote it is, it is still a county. Even if it is a lower county, there is still a county government.
Do the adults in the county still know the situation of the exiled prisoners under their jurisdiction?
Shangyongzhi County was a mediocre man, from a poor family and with few connections.
Of course he knew that there was a master of wine under his rule who was once the Imperial Academy of the Capital, and he was exiled here. But he was timid and did not dare to have any contact with the exiled prisoners.
Until he was so worried about his son's shitty homework that he couldn't eat or sleep well, and when he was looking for famous teachers everywhere, the shopkeeper Bai of Jixiang Shop found him.
Show him a famous path.
This is what the shopkeeper Bai of Jixiang Shop said to him: "Sir, if you don't use the wine to offer wine to the next Imperial College student, you are looking for famous teachers everywhere. Isn't this because you are in a treasure mountain and don't know the treasures?"
"Those famous teachers all have tempers and spend a lot of money. How can this former sacrificial wine be used with peace of mind? He is in despair now, and he doesn't just listen to what you say."
When the parents heard this, they slapped their thighs and said, "Isn't that right? The Imperial Academy's wine offering is so mediocre. Is there anyone with more knowledge?"
He immediately recruited the master and brought him to his door.
Since Li Shimian could not leave the place of exile, it was agreed that the servants would bring the young master's articles from time to time for the former Li Jijiu to give them some advice.
There are also two days in January for the young master to go and ask for advice in person.
Shopkeeper Li Jia Hui Bai actually accomplished this, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to say.
Shopkeeper Bai had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow to Shopkeeper Bai. Shopkeeper Bai was so frightened that he helped him up: "If it's possible, could you also give me some guidance on my children's studies?"
"Thanks to Shopkeeper Bai for being considerate, I just want your son to come."
So everyone was happy.
The Xiang family was waiting for the Li family to bow their heads and beg for mercy. Unexpectedly, they turned around and approached the magistrate. They were dumbfounded.
I am just a landowner with some money, how can I compete with the magistrate?
Afraid that the Li family would sue the county magistrate, they bought back a poor girl within two days and married Xiang Dafu.
Mr. Ma also knew that his family was now in a state of decline, and anyone with a little bit of influence could come and step on it, so he began to teach young ladies from nearby villages how to make velvet flowers.
Let everyone come to Li's house to pick up the ingredients and make them, then send them back when they are finished. The Li's will then send them to Shopkeeper Bai to sell them on his behalf.
In this way, he won the love of the nearby villagers.
In addition, Li Shimian and his son from time to time gave guidance on the homework of the students around them, and the Li family's situation became much better.
As for Huo Xi, they sailed on the Yangtze River for five days and arrived in Beijing in another half day.
