Chapter 456: Jianghu, Dye Vat

Coming out of the restaurant, under the sun, it felt even more stuffy, Qiu Ge was already too drunk to stand up, and was helped into the carriage by two guards, Tuoba Ying and Wumeng were also drunk, and the two of them went together, but Murong looked at it calmly and was not bad, and left with a salute to Liu Han, as for Lu Fan, they were completely unconscious, and they were put in the carriage and left. 【Latest Chapter Reading.】 .

Liu Han was not drunk at all, with his cultivation, no matter how much wine he had, there would be no problem at all, and after sending these guys away one by one, he led the panther and walked slowly along the street.

The streets of the imperial capital, compared with the world that Liu Han once stayed in, of course, are much narrower, but in this era, it is the widest of the cities that Liu Han has ever visited, but the population of the imperial capital is also the largest, and the population that the city can accommodate is closely related to social production, and there are more than one million people in the imperial capital, if you add the nearby manor villages, the population is more than 1.5 million, and the population of the entire Jingzhao Mansion is probably more than 10 million.

With such a huge population, it is no wonder that the imperial court takes Caoyun so seriously.

Walking on the street, it's not nothing, this is a habit of Liu Han, this habit was developed in his previous life, the purpose is to look at the market, and after seeing a few cloth villages and grain stores, Liu Han basically knows it in his heart.

The imperial capital is the largest market and the most prosperous market in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Liu Han has never done a grain business, the people of the Western Regions eat less grain, eat more beef and mutton, like to drink tea, Liu Han has a tea garden in the Western Regions, it turns out that the Western Regions do not produce tea, the people of the Western Regions themselves also think that the Western Regions cannot produce tea, but Liu Han found a place in the Western Regions, planted tea successfully, so he made a lot of money.

The next step of the Hanhai Trading Company is to start a grain business, Liu Han transplanted the branch system of his previous life, and prepared to open ten grain stores in the imperial capital, he has already bought thousands of stone of grain in Jiangnan, and there are also hundreds of stone of salt, and all of them are coarse salt, these coarse salt is ready to be reprocessed in the imperial capital, turned into refined salt and put into the market, the price gap between refined salt and coarse salt is as much as ten times, and he is ready to reduce this gap to five times.

Ten grain stores, selling grain and salt at the same time, Lao Huang estimated, can increase 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver per year, in addition, the business exhibition of the branches in various places is different, with the chaos of the desert outside the Saiwai, the business of Yongzhou has been greatly affected, the caravan outside the Saiwai has basically stopped, the construction of Sanjiangbao is very smooth, with the help of the King of Qin, the construction of the workshop in Chang'an is very fast; the business in Liangzhou has also been affected, but the construction of Lao Wang's workshop is very smooth, basically making up for the loss of the caravan.

Most of the business in the Western Regions has stopped, but it has not stopped, it is still operating, and tens of thousands of taels of silver can be obtained every year, but Liu Han only asked for 10,000 taels of silver from there, and the rest was distributed to the subordinates who stayed in the Western Regions and his women.

When he left the Western Regions, except for the three daughters of Tianna, who were sure to return to Dajin with him, the other women were all dismissed with a lot of money, and some women took the silver and left, but there were still more than a dozen women who refused to leave and remained in his manor in the Western Regions, and the rest of the silver was handed over to them.

The income of Hanhai Trading Company is very high, but the expenses are also very high, investment is being made everywhere, construction is being carried out everywhere, Jiangnan, which Liu Han attaches the most importance to, has also invested a lot of silver, outside the mountain gate of Qingxu Sect, those two mountains, have been secretly bought by him, some time ago, he sent in the first batch of medicinal materials, these medicinal materials are not many, only five kinds were found, and there are also some miscellaneous items, such as rune paper for drawing talismans, etc., but, just like that, Yu Qingzi is already very satisfied.

Liu Han's request was also satisfied, Yu Qingzi sent ten bottles of pills, among these ten bottles of pills, there are five bottles of Huiqi Pill, this kind of Huiqi Pill is very effective in battle, and in a short period of time, the Five Elements True Yuan can be restored to more than sixty percent;

The most precious are the two bottles of Qingling Pill, Yu Qingzi confessed, this Qingling Pill was designated for him, Liu Han found out that this Qingling Pill is only effective for the grandmaster's middle grade and above, this is a treasure among treasures.

This was the first time he had received support from the Qingxu Sect, and the richness of this support made him extremely satisfied, so he was even more interested in finding medicinal materials for the Qingxu Sect.

The medicinal materials of the Qingxu Sect are not so easy, almost all of them are already only in the legends, and the rest can only be found in the year of the monkey.

I went to the newly opened pharmacy to take a look, the newly opened pharmacy is in Wuxian Street, two streets away from Hanhai Jewelry, the pharmacy's business is very good, and people come to buy medicine from time to time, but such retail profits are not high, and the real high profits come from the palace and various family valves.

There are three doctors in the pharmacy, two of them are people from Hanhai Trading Company, one of them is Qiu Huzi who has Dantu cultivation, and the other is called Meng Ming, this Meng Ming was brought back from the Western Regions with him, and there are Dantu Seven Grades of cultivation, which is not much different from Danshi.

It is much more difficult to produce a Danshi than a grandmaster, the grandmaster only needs to continue to cultivate by himself, and when the opportunity comes, he can cross that threshold, but Danshi is different, in addition to his own cultivation, Danshi also needs a large number of precious medicinal materials and refining a large number of pills, and how much silver must be spent during this period, which is an astronomical amount.

Therefore, every Danshi is piled up with silver.

The third doctor in the hall is called Zu Liang, who was originally a person in the hidden hall of the wind and rain building, the hidden hall is the entrance of the hall directly controlled by Reina, the hall master is Shen Chen, there are not many people, only more than 20 people, all of them are absolutely reliable people, Reina put this person here, the purpose is to lay an eyeliner in the city, in case of future needs.

Liu Han watched it in the store, told Qiu Huzi and Meng Ming a few words, and left them a bottle of pills, he planned to cultivate the two of them, so that the two of them could enter the Danshi realm as soon as possible, he valued Qiu Huzi very much, Qiu Huzi was born in loose cultivation, and loose cultivation in Dantu cultivation is very difficult, ten times more difficult than martial disciples, but he can actually reach the realm of Dantu Eight Grades, which is higher than Meng Ming, who has used countless medicinal materials.

Qiu Huzi was inexplicably grateful, he went from a dark outcast fugitive to a great future in a blink of an eye, he knew exactly what he would get if he became a Danshi, or even a Danshi!

After Liu Han finished speaking, he looked up and saw Wen Wanqing coming in from outside, she looked a little haggard, handed a prescription to the guy on the counter, and the guy began to grab the medicine for her after reading it, Liu Han wondered a little in his heart, this woman should have returned to Jiangnan, why is she still in the imperial capital, who is sick?

After going through too much and doubting everything, he didn't alarm her after a little thought, but came out of the side door and waited quietly on the side of the street, and after a while, Qin Wanqing came out of the store with the medicine, Liu Han locked her and followed her from afar.

After turning a few streets, Liu Han had two people following her, Liu Han remained silent and still followed behind slowly.

Walking and walking, when she arrived at the three-way intersection, Qin Wanqing hesitated slightly, and then walked towards the street on the right, the further she went, the more Liu Han wondered in her heart, this is the direction of the City God Temple, what is she going to do in the City God Temple? Suddenly, he felt that this Qin Wanqing was probably looking for him, or rather looking for his clone, Liu Mo.

Sure enough, Qin Wanqing arrived at the City God Temple, and without stopping in front of the temple, she went straight in from the alley next to her, and the two people who followed her also followed, Liu Han did not go in, but turned around and blended into the crowd that was watching the juggling.

Sure enough, after a while, the two people who were following Qin Wanqing came out, and the two of them were also mixed in the crowd, glancing at the alley from time to time.

Not long after, Qin Wanqing came out of the alley, and Liu Han noticed that her expression was very tired and disappointed, and her spirit was even more lost, completely unaware that there were two people following her.

The two of them followed again, Liu Han frowned and thought about it, turned around and went to the hut he had rented in advance, and when he came out again, he had already transformed into Liu Mo, and he was still carrying a basket of things in his hand, and some things had been prepared in this room for a long time, just to prevent sudden incidents.

"Master, I'm back. When Zuo Lan saw Liu Han enter the house, she couldn't help but shout with joy.

"Hmm. Liu Han nodded slightly, and swept the store anyway, there are no customers in the store today, Qiu Ge is drunk in the restaurant, if he is not there, there will be more than half of the customers in the store. He stopped Zuo Lan from coming over to help, and carried his things into the backyard by himself.

Zhang Mei had already rushed out, looking at Liu Han and couldn't help but be slightly annoyed, and nagged: "Do you still know to come back, look, it's been a few days, didn't you say two or three days, it's almost ten days, you have gone there?"

"Something happened and it was delayed for two days. Liu Han pretended to explain, and then instructed Zuo Lan to put things away.

After saying a few words in the courtyard, Zhang Mei pulled him into the house and whispered: "You came back just in time, someone came to you with a token from the Cao Gang, you are not there, and the slave does not dare to agree easily." ”

"Oh, who is it?" Liu Han pretended to be an accident, it had been more than a year since he came back from Jiangnan, and this was the first time that someone had come to the door with a token from the Cao Gang.

"A woman, holding a token of the Cao Gang. Zhang Mei whispered.

"Did she say what was her name?" and did she leave an address?" asked Liu Han again.

She left a note. Zhang Mei said and entered the back room, Liu Han followed in, Zhang Mei took out her own jewelry box from the drawer, took out a note from the mezzanine and handed it to Liu Han.

"Ping An Inn No. 2. Liu Han said, casually destroying the note.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Han said, "I'll go back in the evening." ”

Zhang Mei hummed obediently, and Zuo Lan shouted outside the house, "Master." ”

Zhang Mei went out to open the door, Zuo Lan came in with a basin of hot water, Liu Han came out, Zuo Lan had already put the towel into the basin, Zhang Mei stood on the side, Zuo Lan wrung out the towel and handed it to Liu Han, Liu Han wiped his face, Zhang Mei went into the house and took out a set of clothes.

"Alright, go ahead and keep an eye on it, don't anyone take the opportunity to run. Liu Han said to Zuo Lan with a smile, and Zuo Lan pursed his lips: "What, they are all old neighbors." ”

Liu Han smiled, took advantage of Zhang Mei being inside, lightly twisted it on her face, and laughed in a low voice: "It's so slippery." ”

Zuo Lan's face flushed, and her silver teeth bit lightly, and water was dripping from her eyes.

Liu Han turned around and went into the house, and soon he changed his clothes and came out, Zhang Mei walked behind with the changed clothes, washing clothes by the well, while Liu Han picked up the teacup, lay down in the shade of the tree, and slowly tasted tea.

Fan Ju and Fan's sister-in-law came back, and when they heard that Liu Han was back, they came over to chat a few words, and the two families had a lively dinner together.

After dinner, several women were in charge of cleaning up, Liu Han was still very carefree, Yu Mei knew his mission in the imperial capital, but Liu Han also appeared, she seemed to be a little unimpressed with this matter.

Yu Mei and Liu Han also investigated, and he did not go through others, but asked Liu Tie to use it when he was in Pengcheng to conduct an investigation in person, and the conclusion was consistent with what Yu Mei said.

The rivers and lakes are a whirlpool, but also a big dye vat, from the outside, the scenery is very beautiful, only those who have been in it know the difficulty, and they are reluctant to go in again when they leave.

Zhang Mei and Yu Mei, to some extent, have left the rivers and lakes.

That's why I don't want to go in again.

However, it has been dyed, and it is so easy to wash away.

A lot of things, that's the case!
