"Sister Shiqing, I thought this house was small before, just a little bigger than my courtyard. Now it seems that it is not small at all."
The Jiang Mansion where Jiang Suya lives is a well-known family in the capital.
Jiang Mansion covers a large area, and each house has its own courtyard. The direct sons and daughters also have their own separate courtyards.
This courtyard, taken out randomly, is equivalent to the second courtyard where ordinary people live outside.
Jiang Suya's elegant garden is not small, and precisely because of this, when Yan Shiqing lives in her place, it doesn't seem crowded at all, but there is still room.
Now she walked around most of the Yang Mansion and then sighed.xdw8
"It's not small. With the location and area of this house, in this capital city, only a moderately wealthy businessman can afford it."
Although Yan Shiqing doesn't go out much, she still has a certain understanding of the capital, especially the consumption level.
According to her judgment, if the Yang Mansion were to be sold to outsiders, it would cost more than 3,000 taels.
It is true that every inch of land in the capital is valuable.
But she didn't think Yang Jiaxiang could be given this house by himself.
Most of the people who wanted to give him this house were heading for the Xiong Mansion behind him.
He is now quite popular with the Xiong University Scholars' Mansion, and there are certainly people who are fawning over him.
Jiang Suya doesn't have a particularly deep concept of money now. She just knows that her monthly silver is ten taels of silver.
When she heard that it was more than three thousand taels, she immediately took a breath after calculating it based on her moon silver.
Three thousand taels, as far as her monthly silver is concerned, would be spent at all, and it would take twenty or thirty years to save enough.
However, Sister Shiqing was able to take out five hundred taels of silver so easily last time. It seems that Sister Shiqing made a lot of money.
"Sister Shiqing, I sold some of the seawater pearls you sent back before and got a lot of money. Both Shaoyao and my mother said that these things are expensive now. Before the two countries were able to communicate with each other, when they were little,
Hurry up and get rid of it as soon as possible. There will be more things in the future and they will be cheaper. I can have as much as I want. By the way, Sister Shiqing, did you bring anything with you when you came back this time? You may not know that all the noble ladies in the capital now are...
Be proud to own pearl jewelry.”
When Jiang Suya thought of silver, her first reaction was the pearls and wind chimes that Yan Shiqing sent back to her several times.
But she didn't sell the wind chime, but she sold all the pearls under the influence of her mother and Peony.
Those mere pearls, added up twice, passed through her mother's hands, and were finally divided into her hands. There were actually three or four hundred taels. This was something she could not even imagine!
Naturally, not only her, but also peony is worth hundreds of taels.
That little girl was more influenced by her mother, and even the wind chimes were sold. She made the most money from the wind chimes.
Shaoyao responded to her like this at the beginning: "Miss, besides you, this thing is now owned by the slave. Taking advantage of the scarcity of things, the slave sold it at a high price. After two years, I'm afraid there will be no one left with a tael of silver."
The Hongwu Kingdom is close to the sea, and there are a lot of these things. If you don't make money, you are a fool, and I don't want to be such a fool. This wind chime only costs seventy-eight taels, and I won't have that much silver in my lifetime."
Hearing this, Yan Shiqing said: "I came back in a hurry this time, so I didn't prepare all the things. But before I left, I asked Aunt Huo and my little brother to help prepare, and let Lin Tao and the others bring them back when the time comes. Counting the days, they are back.
Those things will go to Jiang Mansion in Rongcheng, and my godmother will watch and deal with them then."
If there is an opportunity to make money, how could she give it up?
Not only pearls, but also coconut powder and so on, she asked Aunt Huo to prepare it. Later, she could make coconut milk or coconut sugar.
Furthermore, she knew that tea from the Hongwu Kingdom was very expensive in Da Chu, and when she bought Zhuangzi, she ordered people to pick the seeds. Maybe when she comes back this time, there will be tea among the goods.
She doesn't have to be very good, just average.
Those were very cheap in Hongwu Kingdom, but in the capital of Dachu, there was no place to sell them even if you wanted to buy them, let alone the high prices.
As long as the price is not too outrageous, they will probably be sold out once launched.
She never had too much money.
Of course, before doing these things, she must find a backer for herself. If anything happens, they will come forward, and she only needs to wait for the money.
Jiang Suya smiled and said: "Then my mother will be very happy. She likes to do this the most. Even when she has a big belly, she is very busy. My mother often says that I am just like my father in this regard.
Yeah, it doesn’t look like her at all.”
When Jiang Suya said this, she paused and said: "Sister Shiqing, I heard my mother say that once the canals of the two countries are opened, our country in Chu will not be short of water, and things from the Hongwu Kingdom will be transported here and sold, and everyone's life will be better.
It seems like things are getting better, but in reality it is not. The things were all brought here by people from the Hongwu Kingdom, and they make money from us. So all our money has gone to them. I think the people of Dachu will have a better life first, okay?
Isn’t it going to be more and more difficult in the future? If the light can’t get out, it’s like sitting on empty soil.”
Yan Shiqing couldn't help but glare at her: "It's all nonsense. Why can't our Dachu go out? I don't know if it's the chili pepper or the water quality. The hot sauce made by Hongwu Kingdom is not as good as our Ruanjiakeng."
The food over there is delicious. With this, we can make money. Next, the Hongwu Kingdom is hot and humid, with too much water, and many fruits don’t taste good. When it rains, they are watery and have no sweet taste. Our country is like
Huaizhou is suitable for planting, and it can also be sold to Hongwu State. Also, the winter here is very cold. When winter comes, whatever bacon and sausages can be made, it is best to sell them there. Even if it is the New Year there,
, the weather is also hot, I can’t do it at all..."
Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Since she allows the rivers and canals of the two countries to communicate with each other, it is a matter of mutual benefit.
How could she make the people look good in the moment, but in the long run, she will be in a passive situation.
When she proposed it, Amo and the prince also agreed. The two of them and their staff must have thought more than she thought.
They can agree that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Jiang Suya was not annoyed when Yan Shiqing said this, and said with a smile: "I don't understand very much, I just listened to what my mother said, and I listened to it. Since it's not the case, that's fine. Speaking of which,
Sister Shiqing, you are so smart. My cousin can marry you because he was lucky in his previous life."
When Yang Jiaxiang found Jiang Suya and Yan Shiqing, he did not dare to step forward, but looked at Yan Shiqing greedily.
He hadn't seen her for a long time. If he stood in front of her, he would never dare to be so presumptuous.
Now that there was no one around, he only dared to look at her secretly like this.
She used to be thin and short, with a sallow complexion and could fall over if the wind blew her.
