Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

What methods can be used to reshuffle the interests among the chieftains and the welfare of the border guards and residents?

Lin Yiqing's sorrow eased a little with Xu Siyu's comfort and advice.

He shouldn't give up just because it's difficult before he even tries.

He has been doing too well for many years. Now that he is no longer restricted by the Lin family, he also loses their protection and needs to grow up on his own.

"I'll go to Bozhou first. Even if I have to take a mountain road, I have to get the lowdown and know the Bozhou chieftain's appetite."

As long as he was no longer depressed, Xu Siyu prepared a table of wine and food to welcome him back.

After he put down the worry on his brow, he took his hand and let him touch her belly. Their child was here...

There are several stages in human growth, and becoming a parent is definitely one of them.

Twenty-year-old Xu Siyu and twenty-two-year-old Lin Yiqing must first become better versions of themselves before becoming parents.

It doesn’t matter if things don’t work out, but we must not lose the spirit of progress.

Lin Yiqing, encouraged by Xu Siyu and the child, began to travel frequently between Bozhou and Guangshun. He got to know the preferences of the border commanders and the chieftains of Bozhou, treated them with courtesy, and promised them benefits. Finally, at the end of the year, Pingnan replaced the chieftain with a person who was in awe of the border troops of the Dali Dynasty and gave the Qinglong Mountain bandits a set of default slogans and flag signals.

Merchants using this call and flag signal can pass through the ferry and leave a portion of their goods as toll.

The chieftain of Bozhou was surprisingly generous and did not care about the result that the caravan did not pass through him. His good relationship with the Guangshun defenders made him more famous in the mountains of the southwest, and he became the leader among the chieftains invisibly.

The Guangshun defenders exempted him from the burden of trading tea in the south, and he could earn the money back from the Yue people in the south.

The Guangshun defenders not only received military rations on time and in sufficient quantities, but the active border trade also enriched their material conditions in the border town, and they also felt that they had made a great profit.

After the three forces were connected, everything seemed easy.

But only the person involved understands the hardships involved, and he will never forget how many pairs of shoes he wore out and how many robes he cut.

Three hundred taels were used as a favor, and one thousand taels were used to book a merchant ship.

Lin Yiqing set out in the first month, taking a ship of grain, a ship of commercial goods and the caravan south. When he came back, the news that the Xu family caravan had obtained the salt permit was already known to everyone in the mansion.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival when the moon was full, the young couple opened the windows of the side hall and celebrated towards the full moon.

"Congratulations, Second Young Master Lin. Your reputation has spread far and wide." Xu Siyu brought a bowl of chicken soup to toast her lover. Although he was thinner and darker, he was full of vigor and heroic.

"Congratulations, Second Madam. Although our family didn't send any goods south, I helped my eldest brother with the cloth and brought back the dyes. We made a profit of two hundred taels in total." Lin Yi was very proud of his youth. This victory not only surprised his father, but he thought his uncle would also come to him.

His trade route connected several mining areas, forest areas and medicinal villages. Except for cinnabar, which was controlled by the imperial court and could not be transported, all other commodities contacted him with the intention of shipping or selling on his behalf.

"Today, Nanzhai sent a message asking you and me to go back." Xu Siyu leaned on the Arhat couch with her belly in her hand and spoke to him.

"I've been busy lately, let's talk about it later." Lin Yiqing was arguing with his father.

"You're so proud of yourself, but be careful that your father will sue you for being unfilial."

Lin Yiqing waved his hands and said indifferently: "He is reluctant to..."

"By the way, is the caravan short-staffed?"

"Why would anyone want to share the pie?"

"Remember the Pingfu Escort Agency? The one that sells bedding." Seeing that he remembered, Xu Siyu continued, "Their main escort is at Niushuiyi. They can travel by land and water, connecting Heqing Prefecture to Jincheng Prefecture via the Jin River... They want to merge with our caravan, and they want us to open it."

In business, it is common to see that there are few people who help when you need it, but many who add icing on the cake.

All roads are open.

Jincheng Prefecture and Heqing Prefecture are the two largest prefectures in the southwest. If they are taken, they will occupy 60% of the trade routes in the southwest.

Xu Siyu is really Lin Yiqing's most precious treasure, how could it be so smooth?

Lin Yiqing also had an impression of Huang Jiu, the head of Pingfu Escort Agency.

A clever man, he inherited his father's business as a bodyguard, but was not satisfied with working for others, so he gathered brothers who were good at fighting, set up his own business, and started from escorting the bodyguards to doing business.

With his heroic and righteous character, he has become famous in the area around Jincheng Mansion in recent years.

Thanks to him, Xu Nianyue can make profits every month as long as she works hard.

In fact, he and the Xu family have had a cooperative relationship for a long time.

Huang Jiu saw that Xu's son-in-law had opened up a trade route, which was so difficult. Sooner or later, he would be able to expand to the area he was familiar with. Instead of fighting a tough battle with others, it would be better to cooperate for mutual benefit.

He understood the character of the Xu family. Unlike the old escort leaders who only exploited their people, his son was also captured by his father and sent to the Xu family to learn reading and martial arts. In a sense, he was half a family member and should not suffer any loss if he joined the Xu family caravan.

Huang Jiu changed the name to Pingfu Branch of Xu Family Caravan with great sincerity.

Xu Siyu considered the franchise model. Their original orders were still from Pingfu Escort Agency. Only those who needed to trade or transport across the Qinglong River would get a commission and give it to the Xu family.

Because the transportation route was dangerous, the Xu family caravan exchanged a thousand dan of grain for a thousand small coins.

Heqing Prefecture itself had a salt field, and Xu Siyu soon sent people to haul a thousand small salt cans.

Xu Siyu asked Zhao Bo to calculate the cost of 200,000 jin of salt, and found that the cost of one jin of salt was five cents.

In the market of Changjia County, a pound of salt sells for twenty cents, and the salt vouchers withdrawn this month are worth four thousand taels. As expected, the salt merchants made huge profits, and the Xu family was pushed to the throne of the richest family in Changjia in one fell swoop.

Of course, this is what the Xu family deserves.

The risks of building roads, the cost of food and the huge transportation expenses were just the price to pay.

Xu Siyu looked at the fine salt that cost two cents per pound on Pinduoduo and held back again and again.

All controlled materials are recorded, so tampering is very easy to detect.

Xu Siyu distributed 200 kilograms of salt as welfare to Xu Ji's employees, and then went back to work to raise food.

The thousand dan of grain sent to the border areas in the first month was produced by Xu Zhuang.

Five hundred mu of wasteland produced 1,800 dan of grain in one autumn season, which shocked Xu Huaishan and made Lu Tongpan so happy that he came all the way from the provincial capital to inspect it.

This is not wasteland, this is fertile soil.

Lord Lu passionately posted a notice to encourage farmers to work, hoping that the people of Heqing Prefecture would not waste this fertile land.

Xu Siyu acquired another 500 acres of wasteland on the outskirts of Changjia County and handed them over to Xu Huaixiao and Li Liuer for care, striving to replicate the output of Xu Village.

Despite this, food always needs a growth period, and they still need to collect food in the second month of supporting the border areas.

It is said that there are no fathers and sons in the business world, let alone uncles and nephews.

Uncle Zhou, who usually gave gems to his nephew casually, said that business and affection were different, so he arranged for the rice shop owner under him to have a businesslike negotiation with Xu Siyu about the transaction of exchanging salt for rice.
