...

"Yes.∮," Mr. Ji nodded with a smile.

The Wanjia fleet has arrived at Quanzhou Port to the south. After a little supply and rest, it will set off again and will return to Ren'an soon. After the Wanjia fleet arrived in Quanzhou, it immediately brought news to the Ji family and the Wanjia family.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of Master Ji Er and Master Ji San, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but smile.

The return of the Wanjia fleet is undoubtedly a bright color of this solemn late autumn, bringing surprises and hopes to people.

Even so, Master Ji Er also has his concerns.

"The flood in the south and the drought in the north are in such a year. I am afraid that the goods brought back on the ship are... " Mr. Ji Er is worried about the sales of goods from the sea and ship trade.

"Dad, you don't need to worry about this at all." Ji Xiaotang was confident.

The so-called rich people smell wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road. The goods brought back by the Wanjia fleet are not affordable to ordinary people. And those wealthy families who can afford it will not lose their purchasing power or desire to buy even in the year of a disaster.

It's cruel, but it's the truth.

Master Ji Er had to nod.

"And, we can use the money we get from selling these ships of goods to buy more food, and then we can help more people." Ji Xiaotang said again.

"This is the reason." Master Ji San agreed very much, "Second brother, Xiaotang, let me go to Wanjia Village to pick up the boat."

Master Ji San can't wait to see the overseas rare brought back by the merchant ship this time.

"Of course I have to work hard for my uncle." Ji Xiaotang smiled.

"You don't have to worry. Xiaotang is still young and I can't live without my home. Of course, I'm going to let you go." Master Ji Er laughed.

The three of them said for a long time in the study and discussed everything the merchant ship had to do.

"There is another thing to discuss with my father. Please give it to my uncle..."

In late autumn and early winter, Master Ji San set off from Qingyuan to Wanjia Village. A few days later, Master Ji San returned with a carriage. With Master Ji San to Qingyuan, Wan Jiashu and his father were also coming to Qingyuan. Now the head of the Wan family, Mr. Wan.

The Ji family is the largest shareholder of the Wanjia Fleet, but this is the first time that Mr. Wan has come to Qingyuan to meet the Ji family.

Mr. Wan first sent the cargo list for the cargo ship. Because of Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San's instructions, the Wanjia fleet brought back from overseas. () In addition to precious jewelry and spices, there are those that Daqin did not have, such as music boxes and pocket watches. They are commonly known as gadgets for the Qiqin mechanism by the Daqin. Overseas, these are all called machinery.

Master Ji Er read the list, nodded, and handed the list to Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang was very satisfied with seeing the list from the beginning and end. Even under the current circumstances, the goods on the list are not worried about sales in Daqin.

After reading the list, everyone sat down to discuss. Some of these goods would be transported to Ren'an's foreign goods shop for sale, and a small part would be received in Qingyuan's foreign goods shop.

As for the rest, I plan to send it to the capital.

"I have contacted Beijing and all the shops and other matters have been settled. I will send capable managers to Beijing here, and I will ask Mr. Wan for the rest of the matter." Mr. Ji Er said.

Opening a foreign goods shop in Beijing can not only speed up the circulation of goods brought back, but also facilitate the transmission of messages between Beijing and Qingyuan. Ji Xiaotang had previously said hello to Qi Younian.

Qi Younian has investment in the fleet, and the foreign goods shops in the capital will also have his shares. With the Weiwu Hou Mansion as a backer, no one dares to provoke this foreign goods shop in the capital.

Master Ji Er made the most difficult solution, and at the same time, all the things that the Wan family could not solve were arranged. Mr. Wan naturally had nothing to say and agreed readily.

"This time, my uncle invited Mr. Wan to come, and there is another important matter to discuss." After talking about the disposal of the goods this time, Ji Xiaotang mentioned another thing.

Mr. Wan had heard Wan Jiashu say that this little girl in the Ji family has a special status at home. She is a young aunt who can lead the family. She did not show any surprise when she spoke to Ji Xiaotang, but instead acted seriously.

"We hope that the fleet can go out to sea again after a little rest," Ji Xiaotang said.

"This..." Old Master Wan touched his beard.

According to general practice, after the return of the cargo ship sailing in the ocean, there will be a long rest period. Mr. Wan originally had to rest for at least the first half of the year before he would make plans to make sea again.

"This time, you don't have to go far. Just go to small countries in the south, Champa, Siam and other places. There is only one item of goods purchased, which is food. When the old man comes back, he should also know the drought in the north now." Ji Xiaotang said.

"Miss Three is planning to transport grain from Chameng and other places to sell?" Old Master Wan immediately understood Ji Xiaotang's meaning, thinking in his heart, although the little girl grew up in the deep boudoir and was young, if you want to say that she was flexible, they were not as good as those of the men who were operating outside.

If it were usual, there were few fleets selling grain like this because the income was not much. However, the current situation was different. The price of grain would definitely rise all the way, and the business would make sure to make a profit.

"Old Master Wan brought people to transport grain back, and we will not take all the benefits from Ji's family. ()Old Master Wan took everyone to make hard money, and at the same time, it can also make fewer people hungry. This is the best of both worlds and a good thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Mr. Wan said, right?" Ji Xiaotang said.

After hearing Ji Xiaotang's words, Mr. Wan's eyes couldn't help but lit up, and he looked at Master Ji Er and Master Ji San.

Master Ji Er and Master Ji San both smiled and nodded.

"It's just a blessing from Mr. Wan."

Mr. Wan was also a cheerful person. After thinking for a moment, he nodded happily and agreed.

"The second master, the third master and the third girl have a Bodhisattva heart to save the world. My family is a rough man, but I also know the principle of learning from the good and learning from the good. I agree to this matter." Mr. Wan also said that the food shipped back will never be sold at a high price.

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and my Wan family can also make a profit from it." Mr. Wan and both said. In the north, Wanjia Village cannot be spared.

"There is another thing. This time I went to sea, my uncle wants to go with me." Ji Xiaotang said again.

"The third brother has never left the sea. Along the way, please take care of Mr. Wan and Brother Wan." Mr. Ji Er also said.

Master Ji San even smiled and clasped his fists at Mr. Wan and Wan Jiashu.

The Ji family is the largest shareholder of the fleet, so it is reasonable to send someone to the same boat. However, it will be Mr. Ji San who went there. It still surprised Mr. Wan and Mr. Wan. After the surprise, the father and son were not unhappy.

"The third master is now a juren. If he is willing to go out to sea with the same boat, it will be fine. With the third master, Wenquxing, escort, the journey will be smooth." Wan Jiashu said with a smile, and also said that the juren of the Qin Dynasty was very noble and rare.

After Master Ji San gained fame and reputation, he had already experienced many benefits in his own personal experience. Now, he was very proud of Wan Jiashu's words.

This matter was decided like this. The only thing that needed to be done was to tell Mrs. Ji.

Old Mrs. Ji was very interested when she saw the rare overseas things she had with her. Master Ji San took advantage of her happiness and said that he wanted to go out to sea with the boat.

As expected, Old Mrs. Ji immediately refused to agree.

"I don't care much about you now. These six grounds are not enough for you to perform. What kind of sea will you go out? That's fun? Don't act like I don't understand anything. I heard your father say that if you catch up with the Dragon Prince, then..., be at home, I don't care about you what you want to do, but you don't allow you to go out to sea again."

"Old lady, my uncle won't go far this time, he will only walk along the 6th place in the shallow sea. He will go south and come back soon." Ji Xiaotang naturally had to help Master Ji San speak.

"Don't worry, old lady. The fleet is full of veterans who are traveling through the wind and waves. I have never seen any strong winds and waves to the West, and I have come back safely. This time I go to the South China Sea, it is actually a small matter and is foolproof." Master Ji San said hurriedly.

"Old lady, we sent all the staff to sea with the boat last time back. This time we beat them to accompany the third brother to accompany us. No matter what, we will protect the third brother without any problem." Master Ji Er also said.

"Our family is not short of this money. He is already wild enough. You still indulge him like this." Old Mrs. Ji was very unhappy when she saw that everyone agreed with Mr. Ji San going to sea.

"The old lady is not for making money, nor is it for me to play. This time I went to Nanyang to purchase grain." Master Ji San told Old Lady Ji.

When Mr. Ji San was told that Mr. Ji was going to buy food, Mrs. Ji was silent for a while.

"Our family is not short of food. I know your plans. We will save money when the time comes, and you can give alms to the rest."

"Old lady, you don't know what's going on outside. No matter how much food we have, it's not enough." Master Ji San said.

"That's the matter of the court and the yamen, so you don't have to worry about it. You can only give it to me at home and not tell me about going out to sea anymore." Old Mrs. Ji insisted.

"old lady……"

Mr. Ji San and Mrs. Ji had been bothering me for a few days. When Mrs. Ji saw that Mr. Ji San had made up his mind, she knew that she could not stop Mr. Ji San, but she still refused to nod.

"It seems that I can only leave secretly." Master Ji San said to Ji Xiaotang behind his back.

Ji Xiaotang could only nod.

Mr. Ji San must go to the trip to Southeast Asia, and this is just the beginning.

On this day, Mrs. Ji hadn't even seen Master Ji San, and she guessed something in her heart, so she called Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang to come to ask.

"My uncle must go. Before dawn, he kowtowed and left outside the old lady's far door. My uncle said he would definitely return safely and asked his grandmother to take care of him." Ji Xiaotang was afraid that Old lady Ji would take his anger on Master Ji Er, so he rushed to say it.

Old Mrs. Ji was not angry, but her eyes gradually turned red.

"I know, I can't stop him. His temper is exactly the same as that of the old man. Once he decides something, even the nine-headed cows can't be pulled back." Old Mrs. Ji was mentally prepared and no longer angry at this moment, but was full of concern for Mr. Ji San.

"Second Master, Xiaotang, tell me, the third brother went to sea this time, really just for food?" Old Mrs. Ji asked Master Ji and Ji Xiaotang with tears in her eyes.

Sometimes, it is happiness to not know. Therefore, Master Ji Er, Master Ji San and Ji Xiaotang have already made up their minds and must not let Mrs. Ji and others know about some things.

"Yes." Master Ji Er nodded.

"It's for food. In addition, my uncle also wants to go out and experience it." Ji Xiaotang continued.

Old Mrs. Ji looked at the two of them. Although she was a little suspicious before, she believed their words at this moment.

"Since I recognized the people from Wanjia last time and obtained foreign goods, he has often talked about overseas goods in front of me. I hope he is not more capable than his character, only at home, even if he causes trouble, it's fine now..., for nothing, I can't stop him, I can only ask God and Buddha to bless him."

Old Mrs. Ji decided that she would eat vegetarian food during her trip to sea to show her sincerity and ask God and Buddha to bless Mr. Ji San’s safety.

Her decision was also a comfort to herself, so the Ji family would naturally not stop her.

After coming out of Mrs. Ji's yard, Ji Xiaotang quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Ji was a little bit unfaithful, but mostly on small matters. When encountering big things, Mrs. Ji was less concerned and instinctively chose to believe and not ask the bottom line.

Old Mrs. Ji may not have felt nothing, but her like this is a good thing for her and the Ji family.

In the winter of the seventh year of Longqing, a large number of hungry people appeared everywhere, and bandits began to breed, and barbarians in the north tried to test the border several times.

The winter of Qingyuan this year is also particularly cold.

Ji Xiaotang came out of Mrs. Ji'er's house and felt cold when she was facing him. The eldest girl Xiu'er came over and quickly helped Ji Xiaotang take care of the sable fur coat on Li's body. Then she took the hand stove that had just added new charcoal from the little girl, handed it to Ji Xiaotang, and then tightened her sleeves for Ji Xiaotang, then stepped aside.

Ji Xiaotang walked out, besides Xiu'er, there were also Madam Cheng. There were two and a half-year-old maids behind Madam Cheng, each of whom was holding an account book. She had just reported to Mrs. Ji's second wife about to go to the director of the conference hall in front.

A servant who had just left his head came quickly and greeted Ji Xiaotang.

"Mr. Xie is here. The second master invites the third girl to talk to the study." The servant reported to Ji Xiaotang.

"The second master asked me to come over, what's wrong?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"Go back to the third girl, thank you for borrowing food."

Xie Magistrate came to Ji's family to borrow food? Ji Xiaotang frowned slightly and then returned to his original state.

"Only Lord Xie is here?" Ji Xiaotang asked while walking forward.

"There is only Lord Xie." The servant replied hurriedly.

When Xie Magistrate comes to borrow grain, it is definitely not because the Xie family has no food to eat. But if Ji Xiaotang thinks carefully, he can't imagine that Xie Magistrate comes to borrow grain for any other reason.

What should come, it's still here.
