Restart the Disaster of Another World

I don't think I need to climb over the wall to get in, right? Jing Yao looked up at the towering wall, shook his head helplessly, and pondered in his heart.

"Let's go inside the store and take a look." Seeing that the people inside were so insistent, Wen Qun did not force them and turned to Jing Yao and said. Jing Yao nodded in agreement, so the two of them temporarily left the mansion and decided to go shopping in the nearby streets.

Jing Yao led Wen Qun to the famous street of foreign merchants in Shangjing, where merchants from all over the world and their goods gathered, full of exotic customs.

Strangely enough, despite the constant natural disasters and man-made disasters in recent years, many foreign businessmen still came to Dayu from the sea. They not only started business in Shangjing, but even settled here, got married and had children.

Although this foreigner street is not located in the prosperous streets where dignitaries live, its geographical location is quite advantageous, because there is a wide Shunhe River outside the city, which is very suitable for passing merchant ships to stop for supplies.

Because of this, Shangjing attracted many foreign merchants to stay and trade. These foreigners often brought all kinds of novel and interesting items, making life in Shangjing more colorful.

Jing Yao and Wen Qun strolled along the Foreigner Street, admiring with interest the foreign merchants with different hair and eye colors. They couldn't help laughing, as if they were in a wonderful foreign world.

"I've heard for a long time that this street where foreign merchants gather is very lively, and the foreign merchants here have strange looks. I passed by in a hurry last time and didn't have a good look. Today, I took a closer look and it's really interesting!" Wen Qun said to Jing Yao beside him with a smile.

Jing Yao nodded and agreed: "The things brought by these foreign merchants are really eye-catching. Not only are they unique in shape, but many of them are also very practical. Some are novelties we have never seen before. Only by constantly learning and drawing on the strengths of others can we achieve comprehensive development."

Wen Qun couldn't help but feel very surprised after hearing this: "There is such a thing?"

Jing Yao smiled and explained: "Yes, everything in the world has its merits. Even those small foreign countries have many things worth learning. Going out for a stroll can not only kill time but also broaden your horizons. Why not do it?"

After that, Jing Yao took Wen Qun to a stall selling flowers. There was a crowd of people in front of the stall of this foreign merchant, and everyone gathered around curiously. The foreign merchant was holding a pot of chili peppers in his hand, and he introduced his products to everyone in a strange foreign accent and with saliva flying.

There was a pot of corn seedlings and some potted vegetable plants on the ground next to it. As more and more people gathered, the merchant shouted loudly and passionately.

"Come, come, all guests of Dayu, don't miss it if you pass by. This flower in bloom means prosperity and many children, but it is a flower unique to our country. The flower is as its name suggests, it is prosperous and prosperous every year."

This foreign businessman obviously had a very good grasp of the preferences of Dayu's people. He was well aware of people's desire for wealth and children, so he used such words to attract their attention.

When he talked about attracting wealth and children, some people in the crowd were indeed moved. After all, who doesn't want to have a happy family?

In Jing Yao's world, crops such as corn and peppers were originally used as ornamental plants. It was not surprising that this foreign merchant was selling them as flowers.

Jing Yao had come here out of curiosity, but he had not expected that there was a place selling such flowers. So he excitedly pulled Wen Qun over to take a closer look and consider buying some to plant in another village.

Jing Yao walked forward calmly and asked, "Boss, how much are you selling these flowers for?" His tone was calm and natural, without any urgency.

The foreign merchant looked up and down at Jing Yao and Wen Qun. Seeing their luxurious clothes, he thought they must be the sons of wealthy families. He approached them enthusiastically and said with a smile on his face, "Gentlemen, this pot of flowers is so beautiful! And it's absolutely affordable, only twenty taels of silver per pot! If you take it home and give it to your husband, you will definitely have a big fat boy next year!"

Although this sounds pleasant, the price is too high. Although Jing Yao is now very wealthy, a mere twenty taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for him, but he doesn't want to be a sucker.

Thinking back to the time when he bought a lot of seeds and flowers at the dock, the total cost was only a few dozen taels of silver. So he shook his head and refused.

"Oh my, it's too expensive, boss, please make it cheaper! How about I buy all the flowers on your stall?" Jing Yao shook his head and bargained. In the end, the stall owner reluctantly said that he would not sell them unless he paid at least ten taels of silver per pot.

After all, these flowers were transported from far away, and the transportation cost was extremely high.

Jing Yao smiled and nodded, and the deal was successfully completed.

After he bought all the corn on the merchant's stall, he then bought other flower seeds from the foreign merchant.

Wen Qun asked in confusion: "Ayao, why do we need to buy so many seeds? Is there any other use for them?"

What he meant was that Jing Yao's space had already stored a large amount of seeds, which they had carefully selected and prepared. When the weather was suitable, they could be sown directly.

These seeds are all high-quality varieties obtained by Jing Yao through improvement. Compared with the pot of peppers on the stall, they grow healthier and stronger.

Jing Yao explained with a smile: "It's not easy to take out the things in the space, and in a place like Shangjing, people are not as easily fooled as people in the village. The things we buy now will be more convincing."

Wen Qun nodded in sudden realization, expressing his understanding.

After buying the things and finding a porter to help them move the things, the two continued to stroll on the street.

When the two returned, the entrance of the mansion was already filled with all kinds of things, flowers, plants and trees. There were even people standing at the door holding some rare items, waiting for something.

"Huh?!" The doorman was about to exclaim as he looked at the two people approaching from a distance.

"Shh~" Jing Yao made a gesture to keep quiet, indicating him not to make any sound.

The doorman understood instantly and immediately shut his mouth, but kept his eyes on them.

When the shopkeeper next to him saw the person coming, his eyes were filled with surprise and he quickly came forward: "Boss, you are here, young master."

"Long time no see, Shopkeeper Meng!" Jing Yao said with a smile.

"Yeah, I didn't expect the boss to come back so soon. That's great." Shopkeeper Meng said excitedly.

Jing Yao nodded, then looked at the pile of things at the door and asked, "What are these?"

Shopkeeper Meng explained, "These are gifts and congratulatory gifts from all over the country. They were sent here in advance because they heard you were coming back."

Jing Yao smiled and said, "That's thoughtful."

"There are still many people who want to see you." Shopkeeper Meng continued.

"Oh?" Jing Yao was a little curious, "Who are they?"

Shopkeeper Meng called out a string of names, all of whom were famous people.

Jing Yao thought about it and decided that he should finish the matter first, so he said to Shopkeeper Meng: "How about this, you help me arrange it and meet them in a few days."

Shopkeeper Meng nodded to show that he understood.

At this time, a maid hurried over, bowed and said, "Master, do you need a meal?"

Boss Meng looked at Jing Yao.

Jing Yao smiled and said, "We are hungry too. We will go there right away."

The maid responded and turned to leave.

Jing Yao and Wen Qun followed Boss Meng to the dining room and saw the table filled with sumptuous dishes.

After having dinner together, Jing Yao and Wen Qun left and went back to the yard to rest.

After running around all day and having to go out the next day, the two went to bed early.

The next morning, they had breakfast together and then visited some of the properties together.

When Jing Yao returned to the yard, Xiao Ling was already waiting at the gate, anxiously waiting for his return.

"Boss, you're finally back!" As soon as he saw Jing Yao coming, Xiao Ling immediately stepped forward excitedly.

"Are you used to being here? Is everything arranged?" Jing Yao asked about the caravan with concern.

"Very good, boss. All the people and horses have been properly accommodated, and the goods have been safely stored in the warehouse." Xiao Ling replied happily.

After chatting for a while, Manager Meng and several other managers also came to the yard.

When the stewards showed up, they not only came in person, but also brought with them the account books that they were in charge of.

"Boss!" The supervisors stood in a row in an orderly manner and greeted Jing Yao respectfully.

Those who could sit in the position of manager were almost all middle-aged or above, but when facing a young boy like Jing Yao, they did not show the slightest disrespect. Instead, they expressed their loyalty and obedience to him willingly.

Not to mention that they were able to hold important positions only after being bought by Jing Yao, the special relationship between Jing Yao and the current emperor alone made it impossible for them to underestimate the young man in front of them.

Jing Yao waved his hand casually, indicating that everyone should not be polite, and asked everyone to sit down.

If these people dared to ignore him and deliberately acted lazy or cunningly, he would naturally have ways to deal with them. But now that these people were so respectful, he didn't need to deliberately show his boss's majesty.

After everyone had set up the tables and cushions, Jing Yao sat in the main seat and began to carefully check the account book.

Jing Yao sat on the chair, put the account book on the table, and began to read it carefully. Every page clearly recorded the income and expenditure, which was clear at a glance. As he flipped through the account book, he nodded secretly in his heart, expressing his satisfaction. Fortunately, he had taught these guys to use Arabic numerals to keep accounts before, otherwise, facing this full page of traditional Chinese characters, he might have felt a headache before he finished reading the book.

After Jing Yao finished reading the last account book, he put it aside. Then, he looked up and said to the clerks in front of him: "Now, you can report to me the specific situation of the store." After that, he leaned back slightly in his chair, waiting for their answers.

So, these guys came forward and began to report the store's business conditions to Jing Yao in detail. They told Jing Yao that the products in the store were very popular and there was almost no loss.

Jing Yao listened to their reports and nodded his head from time to time to show his approval. Then, he asked each clerk to come forward and report in turn, and made a simple report based on their reports. Through this report, Jing Yao was able to understand the store's operations more intuitively.

Jing Yao owns many businesses in Shangjing City, but most of them are operated in secret and not publicly. Currently, only three stores are in operation.

However, due to the novelty and uniqueness of the goods sold in the store, it attracted a large number of customers and the business was extremely hot. In particular, the recent discount activities attracted many customers to patronize, making the store's daily customer flow quite considerable.

"Not bad!" Jing Yao put down the report in his hand and sighed in his heart. This report recorded in detail the operating conditions of the industries under his name, allowing him to have a clearer understanding of his assets.

After some thinking and analysis, Jing Yao decided to make a simple plan for these industries. First, he believed that the three stores were already in good operating condition and did not need too much rectification. The three stores were a glass mirror store, a spice store, and a canned food store, all of which showed a trend of profitability.

However, Jing Yao's real focus was on the village outside the city. He bought a large amount of seeds yesterday, and these seeds needed to be fully utilized. The village was located outside the city, a certain distance away from the city, and it was not easy to go back and forth, and it would take several days.

As it is winter now, he cannot go to Zhuangzi in person, but he plans to send people to set up an experimental field first, and he will go there in person to check it out in the spring of next year.

In this way, the planting time will not be delayed and the seeds can be properly used.

After a busy day, Jing Yao stayed in the study without taking a step out, while Wen Qun spent the whole day alone in the house.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the room. Jing Yao got up early and walked out of the room in a happy mood. He went straight to the kitchen, patiently instructed the cook to make breakfast, and then returned to his yard.

At this time, Wen Qun had already gotten up early and was practicing radio gymnastics in the bamboo forest in the yard. He performed every movement very standardly and grasped the rhythm just right, which made Jing Yao very satisfied.

When Jing Yao walked into the yard, Wen Qun had just finished the last exercise. Seeing Jing Yao coming over, he smiled and said hello: "Ayao, you're back."

Jing Yao nodded and praised: "It's getting more and more standard, not bad!"

Hearing this, Wen Qun's face lit up with a bright smile, and he said happily: "Really? Now I also feel that these movements are becoming simpler and simpler."

Jing Yao looked at Wen Qun with admiration in his eyes: "Come and have breakfast, I've asked someone to prepare breakfast." After that, the two of them enjoyed the sumptuous breakfast together and enjoyed this rare quiet time.
