"Sister, are you going to celebrate your birthday next year?" Sister Yan suddenly raised her head with a look of anticipation.

Before he could finish his words, Sister Jin rolled her eyes.

Then he responded emphatically, "Of course I do! Stupid!"

Jing Chunxi smiled helplessly and patted Sister Yan'er's head: "Sister Yan will give me a gift later!"

The little straw rabbit that she was playing with had disappeared long ago, and even saying these words couldn't remind Sister Yan.

"it is good!"

Instead, the children around him agreed in unison, laughing so hard that their voices echoed in the yard.

Not long after, Pu Ge'er came out of the study surrounded by boys and walked straight to the door.

The older girls also went to help, and most of the younger ones scattered around, going out to play in groups of three or four. Even Sister Jin and Sister Yan were attracted to go out.

Jing Yi did not leave immediately. After seeing that there was no one around, he moved closer to Jing Chunxi and then reached into his arms.

"This is included in the secret letter sent back by the old general."

What was handed to Jing Chunxi was a roll of notes that was less than a finger long and folded into the size of a fingernail. The notes were folded into several layers.

"Jian'an and Jiujiang suffered floods last year and severe drought this year, leaving the people with virtually no harvest. Food is in short supply and prices have skyrocketed. The local tea harvest is excellent, but sales are as slow as pottery."

I just realized that your birthday is approaching, and I will present you with a gift soon.

Happy birthday.

哥”

It was Tao Jin's handwriting, and the signature must have been deliberately written without using his real name, only the word "Brother".

Jing Chunxi was confused after reading the content of the letter.

What did Tao Jin mean by this? Was he asking them to save the people from disaster, or to find a way to stockpile tea and ceramics?

Show her how to make money?

Jing Yi kept staring at Jing Chunxi's face, and he knew from her expression that she was confused. The letter was in his hands first, so he naturally knew the content of the letter.

"Does this person want us to stockpile tea and ceramics? Is this related to the Third Master's shipping business?"

The secret letter from the old general and the third master mentioned that the foreigners across the sea loved tea, porcelain, and silk. However, it did not instruct them to stockpile or purchase them at low prices.

This person's meaning is so obvious, it is possible that he can also carry the secret letter. Regardless of whether they are close or not, he must be a trustworthy person, or someone who has a close relationship with the old general and the third master.

And the secret letter was actually written directly to the young lady, instead of their daughter. How much trust did they have in the young lady? They didn't treat her as a child at all!

Jing Chunxi suddenly looked at Jing Yi. Seeing that Jing Yi was also looking at him with a serious look, he did not want to hide it and said, "It was Tao Jin who suggested that Third Uncle go to Leizhou."

Jing Yi didn't say anything, but he had an idea in his mind: Tao Jin is indeed a big shot, and he is someone who has close ties with the Jing family. He is either the financial sponsor or the confidant.

The two men looked at each other, and their thoughts were self-evident: they had to seize this opportunity. Now that sea transportation had begun, they must stockpile large quantities of ceramics and tea.

But Jing Yi was thinking that after stockpiling, he would find a way to contact Leizhou and decide whether to ship it out by land or sea.

Jing Chunxi wanted to make use of the huge space for storage. Since he was going to Lingnan after the New Year, it would naturally not be as simple as just going to Cangwu County.

Jing Chunxi had another plan. She couldn't sell all the grain in the space by relying on two grain shops. She couldn't even sell all the grain that had just been harvested in the second quarter, not to mention the large amount of stockpiles. She had to find another shortcut to sell the grain. Jiujiang County and Jian'an County were the counties with the most shortage of grain. As long as she could buy and sell in large quantities there, she would definitely be able to lower the price of grain.

This way, you can clear the space and make money, and you can also take the opportunity to spend money to stock up on porcelain and tea, killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing that Jing Chunxi's mind was always wandering and he seemed out of sorts, Jing Yi reminded him, "Do you remember the news I brought back from the capital last time?"

Afraid that Jing Chunxi would forget, Jing Yi added a reminder: "The letter from the Taifu Mansion!"

In fact, Jing Chunxi had already thought of it. Taifu Peng had close relations with Jiujiang County and Jian'an County. He was either after money or power. In her opinion, the current situation was that there was a greater chance of him making a fortune from the national crisis.

She had to grab a share of this pie no matter what, otherwise she would be unworthy of Tao Jin's reminder in this letter.
