Chapter 35: On Business

The prosperity of Gaozhou City does not lie in the merchants such as clouds and shoulder to shoulder, but in the passing of cups and flowers.

The nightlife here is rich and colorful, when night falls, the lanterns illuminate half of the city, and the green buildings seem to be the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Lin Haoran sat on the street, and from here he could look at the girl dressed in fancy clothes in Yihong Courtyard opposite, and turned his head to look at the three bear buns at the same table, and he continued to pick up vegetables helplessly.

The dishes are good dishes, shrimp and crabs are all placed on the table, and each has a variety of special side dishes. was supposed to put a bowl of authentic dog meat, but he was forced to stop it.

"Brother Lin, you just came back from Dianbai, are you still tired of eating this flower crab?" Gu Qingfeng's interest in Lin Haoran has increased greatly, and he has been paying attention to him at the table.

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Qinglong said with a smile: "He doesn't dare to eat flower crabs in Dianbai, if he eats them, I'm afraid that he will kill people!" ”

Lin Haoran was exposed to this shortcoming, and he rolled his eyes.

"What does Brother Jiang mean by this!" Zhao Dongcheng suddenly became interested, put down his chopsticks and asked.

Jiang Qinglong glanced at Lin Haoran, and then told him about the fart, and at the end, he pointed at Lin Haoran and said sarcastically: "This is retribution!" Those homespun cloths could have been bought for six yuan each, but you sold them for eight yuan, helping Shen Liujin earn an extra two hundred taels. ”

"I don't like to hear that! He was tricked into buying a horse for one or two, but I saved him two hundred taels! Lin Haoran raised the flower crab in his hand to defend, and then added: "We sold him for eight dollars, maybe he will return to their country, but he can sell it for eight taels and one horse, and he will earn more than ten times!" ”

Although it is not clear whether Mr. Pea is sold back to China or Portugal, but the agricultural foundation of the West is weak, especially the United Kingdom is still an island country, this cloth is definitely a sought-after commodity, and it will definitely make a profit if it is successfully transported back to China.

It is said that the textile and ceramics of the Ming Dynasty are in the leading position in the world, and if they develop maritime trade, they will inevitably be able to earn a lot of capital from the world to strengthen themselves. But it's a pity that the Zhu dynasty thinks more about eternal stability.

"I think Brother Lin did the right thing, you can't say that Brother Lin is not authentic, after all, this is Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai!" Gu Qingfeng nodded and stood on Lin Haoran's side.

Zhao Dongcheng also nodded, feeling that Lin Haoran had done nothing wrong.

Jiang Ronghua was slightly surprised that these two people actually stood on Lin Haoran's side, but he was also a broad person, so he raised his wine glass and said: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, come and drink!" ”

The four of them had drunk, but Gu Qingfeng arched his hand seriously at Lin Haoran: "Brother Lin, I have something I want to ask, and please don't hesitate to give advice!" ”

"What's the matter?" Lin Haoran continued to deal with the plump flower crab and liked the taste of crab meat very much.

"If I were to make a living now, what would you think would be more profitable?" Gu Qingfeng looked humbly asking for advice, staring at his face and said.

"Pirates!" Lin Haoran looked absent-minded, and the answer seemed to blurt out.

"......" Gu Qingfeng.

Lin Haoran ate the crab's leg meat, spit the shell on the table, looked at him silently, and asked, "Do you think there is a better deal in this world than robbery?" ”

"Nope!" Gu Qingfeng shook his head honestly after thinking about it, but said his bitterness: "It's just this line...... It's too risky, and my dad is bound to break my legs! ”

Lin Haoran glanced at him with disdain, and then said again: "Then make salt!" Isn't there a salt pan in Lianzhou Mansion? Find a way to get some salt from there, and you won't have to worry about eating and drinking! ”

Gu Qingfeng turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ronghua, then said to him with a wry smile: "I don't have that kind of official relationship!" ”

"Hmm...... Then make the cloth, sell it to Shen Liuye, and let Shen Liuye help you sell it to the Francois man! Lin Haoran finished dealing with a flower crab, but grabbed another prawn.

"Who in the world doesn't know that cloth is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and now the workshops in Guangzhou are rising, weaving cloth in Gaozhou will only be a dead end!" Gu Qingfeng was serious, and pointed to Zhao Dongcheng and said: "His father planted a lot of cotton and made a weaving spinning before, but now he has stopped working!" ”

"What about dyeing cloth?" Lin Haoran looked at the curved middle of the prawn, and took a bite, and his mouth was immediately full of meaty aroma.

Gu Qingfeng shook his head: "A good dyeing recipe is hard to find!" ”

"If that's the case, what do you think of the dye?" Lin Haoran spit out the shell, chewed the shrimp meat in his mouth and looked at him.

Gu Qingfeng watched this person eat non-stop, as if his mind was not on his affairs, and when he was about to give up hope, it seemed that a lightning bolt flashed through his mind.

"Dyes?" He habitually repeated.

Lin Haoran swallowed the sweet shrimp meat, and said seriously: "We have a lot of dye plants in Shicheng, and we can rely on Radio Port to sell the raw materials of dyes in Guangzhou Mansion!" You can build a workshop in Guangzhou to produce dyes, or you can sell the raw materials directly to the dye workshop. ”

"Will you want it over there?" Gu Qingfeng asked hesitantly.

"Why not?" Lin Haoran snorted coldly, and analyzed seriously: "Didn't you scold Commander Huang for having written to the imperial court before, hoping to assign Macao to the Francois to live?" If this is done, in the future, the Francois will definitely purchase fabrics in Guangzhou for a long time, and because of the industry-driven relationship, the textile industry will slowly take shape in Guangzhou, which will naturally intensify the demand for dyes! ”

"Increasing the demand for dyes?" Gu Qingfeng muttered, as if he still didn't understand.

"If it takes ten barrels to produce a hundred pieces of cloth, then it will take a hundred barrels to produce a thousand barrels, so the more cloth the Franciscans want, the more dye the workshop will need, and you are afraid that you will not be able to sell the dye?" Lin explained this simple economic principle.

After Gu Qingfeng heard this, he suddenly realized, stood up and saluted Lin Haoran again: "Brother Lin's words have benefited me a lot, thank you here!" ”

Jiang Ronghua's face was strange, and he turned his head to look at this classmate seriously, this amnesia has really become different.

After eating, the three of them were about to go back to the inn to rest.

When passing through the lobby on the second floor, a voice came: "Aren't these a few talents from Shicheng County?" I heard that your case leader is here, but I don't know if I'm here? ”

Lin Haoran saw Zheng Shijie sitting at the table, but he didn't expect this person to be so ghostly, and before he could say anything, Gu Qingfeng said angrily: "What does it have to do with you if you don't come, don't be rampant!" ”

"Am I not upset for you Shicheng students?" Zheng Shijie had a false smile on his face, and the fan in his hand fanned lightly and continued: "But it's funny, I made a case for a nerd, is it possible that no one in your stone city cares except Jiang Yuebai?" ”

"Brother Lin is the head of the case, I am convinced!" Zhao Dongcheng stood up and made his position clear.

The corners of Zheng Shijie's mouth were slightly upturned, and the fan pointed to this side and said: "Outside the long pavilion, on the side of the ancient road, a line of white cranes is in the blue sky, are you also convinced?" ”

What does this verse prove? Can it really mean that there is no talent? Jiang Ronghua said something, and he was quite displeased with this person.

Zheng Shijie snorted coldly again, waved his fan and looked at Jiang Ronghua and said: "Even if it is the Four Books and Five Classics, I am afraid that his level is not like this!" Jiang Ronghua, no one else can guess the head of this case, don't you know how it came about? ”

Gu Qingfeng and Zhao Dongcheng both turned their heads to look at Jiang Ronghua.

Jiang Ronghua understood that this person obviously thought that it was that person's influence, but he said with a straight face: "Xiao Zhixian is a bright and upright person, and this county test is fair!" ”

"Justice! Justice doesn't elect a nerd, hehe! Zheng Shijie didn't believe his words, but he felt that as his cousin guessed, Xiao Zhixian was selling affection to that person.

Lin Haoran stood up at this time, looked at him and said coldly: "I hope you can keep this, and after you try it in the house, you dare to use this rhetoric to talk about me!" ”

"Why wouldn't I dare!" Zheng Shijie said proudly.

"I remember, everyone testify to me, farewell!" Lin Haoran gave up his hand and took people away, but he was expecting that this goods would finally offend the prefect, which would be really gratifying.
