The more Mr. Bai thought about it, the more he thought this was a good idea, and said, "I just want to see what the land is like in Yongzhou. If the land near the capital is too difficult to buy, I might as well buy it in Yongzhou. It's not far anyway."
When Bai Erlang heard this, he immediately said: "We won't take a car, we will ride a horse."
Mr. Bai glanced at him and said, "It sounds like I don't know how to ride a horse."
After that, he asked the captain to go down and prepare the horses and luggage. He could stay a few more days at his discretion.
Bai Dalang on the side became excited and simply stood up and said: "I'll go too!"
So, after a while, Daji and others escorted five horses to the outside of the city. After leaving the city, everyone let their horses run and moved quickly towards Yongzhou.
The horse quickly arrived at Pucun, which was not very far. They arrived at Pucun before noon. Before they arrived at the other courtyard, Manbao and the others saw the car parked on the roadside from a distance. They got excited and let the horse run away.
He ran forward, stopped his horse when he reached the door, and jumped off.
When Mr. Bai and Bai Dalang arrived behind them, only Daji, who had followed them first, was waiting with his horse at the door.
Mr. Bai couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "I'm too impatient."
Manbao and the others had already rushed into the village. Everyone was in the main hall. They ran all the way over, and there was a lively distribution of things. Lao Zhoutou and the others were in a car. They had just arrived, and their buttocks were not yet warm.
Well, when I looked up and saw the three Man Bao running in, I couldn't help but be startled, "Why are you here?"
Man Bao happily called "Dad", then turned to look at Zhou Lang. Seeing that he was not only much darker, but also taller than before, she said "Hey", "Fourth brother, you will still grow."
Who are you?"
Zhou Lang didn't expect that this was what she was paying attention to. He smiled with his teeth exposed and said happily: "There is a lot of meat on the grassland, so I have grown a little. Not only me, but Li Wei and Li Jun have also grown."
Man Bao immediately went to see Zhou Liwei and Zhou Lijun. Indeed, they were much taller than when they left.
Zhou Lixue and the others were all envious and asked all at once: "There is so much meat on the grassland, doesn't it mean that we can eat as much as we want?"
Zhou Lijun: "What are you thinking? If you say there is a lot of meat, that's because they have less vegetables. Most herders eat more millet and broth at home."
Zhou Lijun gained a lot of knowledge during this trip and gained a lot. Zhou Lang also gained a lot.
He ignored the gifts and let the family divide them among themselves, while he sat with Manbao and the others outside under the eaves to talk.
Lao Zhoutou warmly entertained Mr. Bai. We all lived under the same roof. Naturally, he was so enthusiastic because he was proud and wanted to show off.
Mr. Bai was also very interested in what Zhou Lang brought back, so he followed him to read it.
Zhou Lang and the others were sitting under the eaves talking. Man Bao asked them, "Have you had a safe trip?"
Zhou Lang said: "Brother Xiang leads the way, and the journey goes smoothly."
Only then did Man Bao remember, "By the way, where is Brother Xiang?"
Zhou Lang said: "I'm going to rest. Thirty percent of the goods I brought back this time belong to him, so he took stock of them."
Zhou Lijun showed Man Bao the list of goods they brought back this time. This time Zhou Lang still brought back a batch of medicinal materials and cattle.
He said, "Li Jun said that you are a doctor, and we also grow medicinal materials at home, so this medicine business is the best to do. Even if the income is not as high as others, we cannot stop it."
Man Bao nodded, she thought so too.
"There are also cattle," Zhou Lang said: "We took two trips and found that the most numerous cattle and sheep on the grassland are cattle and sheep. Most of the cattle and sheep they raised were sold to Zhongyuan and then exchanged for grain. They were short of grain, and we were short of grain.
Cattle, this is the best business on the grassland. You can find it in any herdsman's home. If we want to go further, we can't lose this business."
In addition to medicinal materials and cattle, Zhou Lang also bought a lot of leather goods this time, and in addition there were some pearls.
But it's not much, it says twenty.
Man Bao asked: "Are pearls sold one by one?"
"That's right, one pill is not cheap. Lijun refused to spend more money, so I only bought twenty pills." The remaining money basically went into medicinal materials and beef, leather goods, especially medicinal materials and beef, Zhou Lijun put
Seventy percent of the money is spent on these two items.
She said: "Fathers and pearls should not be eaten or drunk. The premium is too high. When you make a profit, you will make a lot more, and when you lose a lot, you will lose a lot. They are no more valuable than medicinal materials, cattle and sheep. Unless the cattle and sheep die, or the medicinal materials are affected by moisture, otherwise
You won’t lose money.”
Man Bao nodded repeatedly, "Business must be stable."
She turned to Zhou Lizhong and Zhou Liwei, who were squatting beside them, and said, "You must be like Lijun in the future. Watch out for the fourth brother and don't let him do whatever he wants."
Thursday Lang: "...am I that kind of person?"
Everyone: "You are!"
Thursday Lang:......
Bai Erlang thought of something and asked Zhou Lang, "Brother Zhou, did you secretly buy pearls yourself?"
Thursday Lang: "How do you know?"
"I guess, take it out and have a look. If it looks good, I will buy it from you."
Zhou Lang said: "What did you buy for the little girl's things?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao also looked at him.
Bai Erlang said: "Isn't Manbao's birthday coming soon?"
Man Bao: "It's not coming soon, there are still three months to go."
Bai Shan: "She doesn't need to give you special pearls on her birthday, right?"
Zhou Lang also looked at him suspiciously and said earnestly: "Second Young Master, my Man Bao is not only your senior sister, but also your sister-in-law..."
"Fourth brother," Bai Shan quickly interrupted him and said, "Erlang is also engaged."
"Huh? So fast, which girl is she from?"
Zhou Lijun and others also looked at Bai Erlang with interest.
Man Bao said: "It belongs to the emperor's family."
"From the emperor's house? Well... what?" Zhou Lang couldn't help but sit up straight and looked at Bai Erlang with wide eyes, then looked back at Man Bao and Bai Shan, "From the emperor's house? That's not... no
Princess?"
"That's the princess," Man Bao said, "Princess Mingda!"
Zhou Lang and others who were still unaware looked at Bai Erlang in amazement. It was hard to imagine that he had become the consort.
Zhou Lang immediately became energetic and said: "You are going to give Princess Mingda a birthday gift. The pearls are indeed good things. The little girl's jewelry should not be too expensive. Pearls are the best..."
Man Bao said quietly: "Ming Da's birthday will not be until next spring, which is longer than mine."
Zhou Lang immediately changed his words and said: "Then it can be a farewell gift. Isn't the Mid-Autumn Festival coming soon? Mid-Autumn Festival worships the moon and gives a beauty gift. Pearls are also very useful, and there are fine furs. It's going to be cold today.
I will definitely make fox furs by then. I have some particularly good fox furs. I can show them to you later?"
Man Bao and Bai Shan couldn't help but look up at the big sun in the sky, feel the heat in the air, and then turned to look at Zhou Lang silently.
Bai Erlang also said: "It's just autumn."
Zhou Lang: "Autumn has arrived, can winter be far behind? It will get cold in less than two months. Otherwise, why do you think we are rushing back to Beijing at this time? It's because the weather is getting colder and furs and other things are starting to be sold."
