The Gu family's business is quite stable, because they previously collected many of Ye Qianning's treasures at once, and now they are all in the store.
Many officials and their families came to visit the palace to wish them birthdays and gifts.
As the saying goes, if it doesn't open for three years, it will take three years for it to open. This is not an antique store.
That year, Gu Shuo either stayed at the border or in Nanyuan. He spent most of the year studying the topographic map and practical considerations of Nanyuan.
Emperor Beili observed Nanyuan for more than half a year, and also observed Gu Shuo for more than half a year, and sent people to go to Nanyuan to understand the situation. Nanyuan was poorer than expected, and he didn't know where Hong could cooperate.
Moreover, the price Gu Shuo initially offered was also very high. For half a year, Emperor Beili had not yet signed a cooperation contract with Nanyuan. Emperor Nanyuan could not wait any longer.
Prince Yu was sent to find Gu Shuo in person and sign a contract. The price was reduced by more than half from the original price.
The price is still two copper plates higher than the current price of aquatic products in Nanyuan, which is eight copper plates per pound.
Li Mu, who was in charge of the Royal Merchant, got the news and let out a message to wait for Gu's family to go bankrupt. Most of Nanyuan Aquatic Products could not be sold at the price of six copper coins per pound.
Gu Shuo signed a contract with Dongzi for ten years, and it cost only eight copper coins. Now that the Gu family's business is in tatters, where will he get the money to purchase Nanyuan's aquatic products?
Emperor Beili had a thorough understanding of Nanyuan's market situation and knew that Gu Shuo would not make any splash, so he stopped being watched.

The Zhan family was relatively low-key that year, and Zhan Chi was often bored in the house that year. To outsiders, it seemed that he was just as idle as before, so he was rarely seen in Kyoto.
Four months ago, Concubine Zhan gave birth to a little princess to the emperor. The emperor named her Lanyu, Huizhilanxin, Golden Branches and Jade Leaves, and Mulberry Lanyu.
The word is Nian Ning.
When Emperor Beili found out that Concubine Zhan had taken it for the little princess, he read the word "Ning" and became furious.
From that month on, Emperor Beili never went to the palace where Concubine Zhan was housed, nor did he see the little princess again.
Mrs. Zhan went to the palace many times to persuade her daughter not to anger the emperor. Concubine Zhan had already lost her heart. She wished that Emperor Beili would never set foot in her residence again.
Out of sight, out of mind, she takes care of her daughter with peace of mind and educates her well, which is infinitely better than those vain honors and favors.
If a favored princess is sent to a barbarian tribe, her legs will not weaken at all. How can she have the power to seek honor and favor again?
——
Qianjia built a house at Luoyue Gorge on the border. Luoyue Gorge is not located in Shikoku, so it is an extremely hidden canyon.
Because the transportation of materials across the border is a bit slow, it seems that it only takes a year once it is built.
Qian Yunting, the boss of the Qian family, still left Lan Fenying as escort when he arrived at the border.
Traveling as a border escort is dangerous, but you can make a lot of money. You often travel to and from barbarians on the western border.
Qian Fanji disappeared for more than half a year, and two mineral veins appeared in her legs. Within a year, she monopolized Beili's mineral resources.
In winter, the coal sold to Beili Huang merchants was three times higher than in previous years, and the coal sold to Nanyuan was more than half lower than previous years. Such pricing left everyone scratching their heads.
There are a lot of people in Beili, and coal is not a big business. You can make a lot of money in a year. Now that the price has increased, let alone making money, you will probably lose a lot of money.
When Emperor Beili heard the news, he was very angry. Minerals were different from merchants. It was not easy to hold the minerals in his lap, and coal was not a necessary item in winter.
The price was three times the price, and I had to pay for it. I wanted to make a profit from it, but there was no cocoa.
