Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

He Mingyu and Shen Liu pondered Xiao Lan's words for a moment. They kind of understood what Xiao Lan meant, but they couldn't grasp the point she made.

"Stop keeping us in suspense and tell us more, my aunt." He Mingyu said.

Seeing that He Mingyu was really worried, Xiao Lan stopped talking in official language and told him about the merchants who had made a lot of money in the north.

With He Ming and Shen Liu's intelligence, they will definitely be able to figure out the key.

As for the fact that the Jin Dynasty blocked the trade between the two countries, it was not within Xiao Lan's consideration. She just provided a way to make money. As for who made a lot of money, she didn't know. Even if she knew, she didn't need to say it. With He Mingyu's ability, Xiao Lan believed that he would be able to find out. Why should she be the bad guy?

"Tell me about your plan. What do you plan to sell to the Hu people? And what do you want to bring back to sell?" Shen Liu asked after thinking for a while.

Xiao Lan originally planned to do this business herself, but Shen Liu held her grandparents and aunt hostage, so she had to tell him this method. She wanted to just provide a concept and let them figure out what to sell. But who knew that Shen Liu, the old fox, actually copied her business strategy.

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. In order to save her grandparents and aunt, and to please An Shengxuan, she had to reveal all her business secrets. "Sixth Master, the tea and silk here are what the Hu people love, and of course there is food, but this is a war reserve resource, so we can sell less food. As for the Hu people, they have a lot. Doesn't Mr. He want to open a horse farm? I heard that the Hu people are not short of horses, cattle and sheep. If we can sell these things to us, will we have trouble selling them?"

The more Shen Liu and He Mingyu listened, the brighter their eyes became. Finally, He Mingyu couldn't help laughing out loud. "No wonder your family became so prosperous in such a short time. Originally, everyone said that your family's current prosperity was mostly due to you. I didn't believe it at that time. Now it seems that I was shortsighted. You really have this ability. You deserve the title of Little God of Wealth."

"We need to think long and hard about this matter. We need to plan the route carefully. If we go there but never come back, we won't make any money. We will lose a lot of money." Xiao Lan gave them a heads-up in advance. The Hu people are fierce and it is not easy to do business with them. If they are robbed on the way, not only will they lose money, but they may not be able to come back.

"Besides, it's not that easy to herd cattle, horses, and sheep. If you do it rashly, you might really lose money." Xiao Lan said.

He Mingyu and Shen Liu both nodded. Going to the Hu people's territory to trade was not something that could be decided on a whim. This matter really needed long-term consideration and careful planning.

Seeing that the two of them were silent in deep thought for a long time, Xiao Lan became anxious. After all, her request was to rescue Mr. Sheng and his friends, while Shen Liu's request was to earn more money. Since she had already sold the plan, shouldn't her reasonable request also be met?

"Sixth Master, my grandpa, my grandma, and them..."

As soon as Xiao Lan started talking, Shen Liu understood what she meant. "Don't worry, I'll ask Ah Da to go to the government office this afternoon to notify them to release the people. You can go pick them up this afternoon."

Xiao Lan was overjoyed when she heard this and quickly stood up to thank Shen Liu.

Don't thank me too soon, I have conditions for this. Since it was you who proposed the strategy of selling southern goods in the north and northern goods in the south, I don't think you came up with such a good business deal yesterday. I think you have been thinking about it for a while. In this case, you have to go out to do this business, so you can be the pioneer.

Xiao Lan was speechless. She was just a twelve-year-old girl. Did Shen Liu have any misunderstandings about her? He just let her do such a dangerous task. He had so many advisers under his name, and any one of them was better than her. Why did he choose her and kill her?

"Sixth Master, I'm only twelve years old. I'm afraid I can't handle this important task." Xiao Lan deliberately emphasized her age to remind Shen Liu to pay attention to her age and not overestimate her.

After hearing what Xiao Lan said, Shen Liu thought for a moment and said, "It's decided. Let He Mingyu assist you when the time comes. Don't worry, I will definitely send someone to protect your safety."

Xiao Lan rolled her eyes and thought, is this how it works? You want to do business, why should I risk my life and work for you? But from the few times she had met Shen Liu, she knew that he was a man of his word. Once he made a decision, it was difficult for him to change it.

If she couldn't escape going to the Jin Dynasty in the end, why not maximize her own interests. "If the general insists that I go to the Jin Dynasty, then I will also participate in this business, and I want the highest say in this business."

Shen Liu had just promised her that he would ensure her safety along the way, which meant that the probability of losing money on this transaction was very low. At least the bandits on the road were no match for these soldiers, so the goods would surely be relatively safer this time, definitely safer than if she organized her own people to go north.

Shen Liu thought about it for a moment and agreed.

He Ming wanted to say something, but he thought that this business was the idea of ​​the girl, so it would not be shameful for him to help her. Besides, it was Master Shen Liu who threatened her to do this, and he had to admit that he was not as good as the girl in doing business.

Shen Liu agreed readily, so Xiao Lan stopped talking and directly expressed her thoughts, "This time we will go to Xingyuan Prefecture of Dajin to trade, and I will bring a few of my own people. We will prepare the things we will trade in Dajin in the next two months. You can also prepare some manpower and dry food for the journey, and we will set off in two months."

Xingyuan Prefecture of the Great Jin Dynasty is the nearest prefecture to Liaodong Prefecture, and it is also quite prosperous. Ever since Xiao Lan heard that one could make a lot of money by doing business in the Great Jin Dynasty, she has been asking around for good trading locations, so now she can talk about it without stuttering.

"Winter will be here in about two months. Will it be easy to travel then?" He Mingyu said hesitantly.

"The time is short and our preparations are not sufficient. It's not worth the trip." Xiao Lan said, "Since we are going, let's do something big so that we can come back for the New Year. Besides, it will be the beginning of winter, and if everything goes well, we can come back before the snow starts."

Most of the Shen family members served in the army, and Shen Liu spent most of his time in the army. At the end of the year, he would go to the army for inspection, and sometimes he would even stay in the army for the New Year. Xiao Lan's words hit the nail on the head. If he could complete this deal before the New Year, the soldiers' salaries would be settled, and everyone would have a good New Year.

"Then it's settled. You will set off two months from now." Shen Liuyi made the final decision.
