After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

"If I go to the trading company tomorrow, can you follow Master Qi to meet the foreign merchants?"

Lin Ting looked up at him, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps the people here have a stereotype that women are weak and can't do anything.

"Wan Weiran, I know acupuncture and pharmacology, but I also know how to make poisons. I haven't told you yet.

Tell me, if someone wants to harm me, will I let him suffer first?

Wan Weiran was stunned. He had actually forgotten about this. Anyone who knows medicine must be able to mix one or two poisons.

"Okay, then be careful."

"Ok!"

Although the two were not familiar with Qi Hua, they knew where his home was and where the Ye family tea house was.

Lin Ting was not afraid at all of what Qi Hua would do to her, because she had nothing that could be used against her.

The next day, before the time Lin Ting and Qi Hua had agreed to meet, she was already waiting for Qi Hua at the door.

"Mrs. Lin, good morning, are you ready?"

Qi Hua appears to be elegant, but he is actually not talkative at all. Everything he does seems to be arranged within a specific time.

"Good morning, Master Qi. I'm ready. Let's go."

Lin Ting was sitting in the carriage, while Qi Hua was riding a horse in front of her carriage, and did not ride with Lin Ting.

Along the way, the carriage passed through the streets of Minzhou. Lin Ting lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at the customs and people outside.

The streets, whether it is shops or other things, are more prosperous than Wenzhu County.

The street, which was bustling just now, gradually became deserted as the wheels went further and further away, and the clean road was covered with flying yellow dust.

And the further he went in, the less the people he met looked like they were from Dongxia.

"Madam Lin, this is a gathering place for foreign merchants, a mixed crowd. The government only allows them to roam in this area."

Qi Hua explained to Lin Ting that he was afraid that she would see these people whose appearance was different from that of the Dongxia Kingdom and that she would be frightened.

Lin Ting was not unfamiliar with people with this kind of appearance. She had seen too many of them in her previous life.

"Master Qi, the government is so strict, why do they allow these foreign merchants to do business in our country?"

This was what Lin Ting couldn't understand. He saw that the government officials were also here. They seemed to dislike foreign invasions, but it seemed that they had to let them operate here.

If Lin Ting wants to do business in Dongxia Kingdom, he must get to know the outside world clearly so that he can develop better in the future.

"This matter has to start with the war between our dynasty and Xiluo. Our dynasty has been plagued by disasters, and Xiluo has always been eyeing our dynasty covetously.

After our dynasty was defeated, we had to pay tribute to the Kingdom of Xiluo every year to maintain peace, but the condition of the Kingdom of Xiluo was to use our dynasty to trade with foreign countries.

If there is any danger, we will bear it, and if there is any benefit, it will naturally fall into the hands of the Xiluo people."

After saying that, Qi Hua turned around and looked at Lin Ting before continuing.

"But Madam Lin, don't worry too much. We still have generals guarding the border, and the Xiluo Kingdom doesn't dare to do anything to us.

So we are sanctioning these foreign merchants here, and the Syro Kingdom will not say anything."

Lin understood that she didn't understand national affairs, but for her, doing a small business would not have any impact at the moment.

After walking for a while, the carriage could not go in, so Lin Ting had to get off and follow Qi Hua to a small path.

There was a lot of loess and dust here, so Qi Hua wrapped his mouth and nose with cloth.

I followed him into a simple mud courtyard and saw three men in straight robes.

They have high brow bones, deep eyes, amber pupils, high noses, and lips covered by thick golden beards. They have the typical appearance of foreigners.

"Dick Lu, this is the friend I was talking about."

Qi Hua greeted the leader inside, and the three men stood up. They were all very tall, and Lin Ting had to look up to meet their gazes.

"Hua! You guys... come with me..."

The man named Dick Lu spoke in a poor Central Plains dialect. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't understand what he was saying at all.

Following Dick Lu and his other two companions into the small courtyard, he took out a cloth bag and opened it on the table.

Inside was the corn that Lin Ting was looking for, and the leaves had been peeled and selected.

"Hua! These are all the jade beads I could find for you. All that can be used is here."

Lin Ting looked at the neatly arranged corn plants and counted them. There were only twelve of them, but they were all exquisite in appearance and could be used as ornamental corns.

But Lin Ting’s purpose is to use it as seeds, even if it is not exquisite, it can still be used.

"Master Qi, how much silver is this jade bead worth?"

As a toy, the price can never be compared with that of food. Lin Ting has already prepared himself mentally for this.

Qi Hua also took two corn cobs in his hand and observed them. The one he had last time was given to him by Dick Ludong, and he really didn't know the price.

"Dick Lu, how much are you selling these jade beads for?"

This person seemed to be quite familiar with Qi Hua, and the three of them discussed it.

They discussed it in their own language and finally came to the conclusion that one ounce of silver would give them one jade bead.

"Hua, one ounce of silver... one... this..."

Dick Lu spoke with difficulty, holding up the ornamental corn to describe it.

In Dick Lu's home, this thing is just a plant, except that it looks like jade beads and is arranged beautifully.

Dick Lu only wanted to give this kind of thing to a few friendly companies, and he never thought that anyone would want to buy it.

After all, it is a plant, not a real jade bead, and it will be infested with insects if not properly stored.

"One ounce of silver each, Master Qi, I think that's too expensive."

Lin Ting heard his own thoughts. Although it is said that things are valuable because they are rare, this is too expensive.

Qi Hua also knew that these things were just the fruits of a plant, and their price was more expensive than silver.

After Dick Lu heard Lin Tingting's words, he immediately spoke in his lame language.

"Not expensive... not expensive, beautiful, very beautiful..."

Qi Hua is calm and serious.

"You guys should give me a little less of this."

Dick Lu turned to look at his other two companions. The jade beads in their hands were worthless.

But it's easy to make money from the Dongxia people. Just take out a few things they have never seen before and sell them for several times the price.

The three of them discussed it again, and finally spoke to Qi Hua in a serious tone.

"Hua! You have a saying in your Dongxia country...honesty is the most important thing when doing business. We...

I'll sell you three for one ounce of silver, but how about you give us a little more of your tea?"

When doing business with these outside merchants, they all have a limit, and the amount of goods sold must never exceed this limit.

These people came all the way to Dongxia Kingdom just to import more goods so that they could earn more money.

"I can sell you another 20 kilograms of tea, no more."

Twenty kilograms of prepared tea is not a small amount.
