Nuan Nuan: "Why are you going to Zhuangzi?"
"You'll know in a moment." The words were simple and horrifying.
warmth:"... ... ."
Mysterious!
"I'm very busy, busy making money! Will you compensate me for delaying my making money?"
Nalan Jinnian smiled: "Well, I'll take you to see the silver! I'll give it all to you!"
Nuan Nuan became even more curious after hearing this.
Just didn't say anything more.
Nalan Jinnian told the story about Wen Jiarui and Wang Xiao's mission to Dongling.
Nuan Nuan didn't care too much: "What reward will I get when I win the city and come back?!"
Nalan Jinnian: "How about asking the emperor to give you the palm seal of Yancheng's Salt Transportation Department that he has requested?"
Nuan Wen was surprised. She nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"
How could Wen Nuan refuse such a huge good thing
You must know that "half of the wealth in the world is salt and profit. I look up to you for the palace, military pay, and the salaries of hundreds of officials."
“There is no asset of a country that can bring the greatest benefit than salt.”
Salt is related to the economic lifeline of a country.
Salt is a very sensitive thing in this dynasty, so she has never taken the initiative to make any plans in this regard.
However, if the emperor takes the initiative to give it, she can produce salt in large quantities.
Isn't Nanyang Mansion my own fiefdom
Nanyang Mansion is close to the sea, so she can build salt fields.
Then this "general who eats" will no longer have to be "looked up to by everyone"!
For a few pennies, you can buy half a catty, and the people can eat as much as they like for a month.
And those Yanguan salt merchants are extremely rich!
Warmth seemed to see a tsunami-like wave of silver rushing toward her.
While talking, the carriage stopped.
Nuan Nuan put his hand on Nalan Jinnian's and jumped out of the carriage.
What you see is a vast pond with small wooden blocks floating on it.
There are more than a dozen small boats operating on the pond.
Nuan Nuan estimated that under those floating small pieces of wood were pearl clams raised in fishing nets or bamboo cages.
"Pearl farm?"
Lin Feng glanced at Wen Nuan in surprise: Is there anything that Princess Hui'an doesn't understand
Can you tell from this that this is a pearl farm
This farm was run by Yuan Li. When he first came here, he thought it was for fish farming!
Nalan Jinnian gave Nuan Nuan an appreciative look: "Yes."
This girl was the only one who could tell at a glance that it was a pearl farm and not a fish pond.
"Let's go, let's take you to see the newly mined pearls."
He ordered people to build this pearl farm for six years, and only this year successfully cultivated pearls.
Nalan Jinnian took Nuan's hand and walked forward.
Because it is on the edge of a pond, the ground is a little slippery.
The two of them were not walking very fast.
Not far away, a person walked over in a hurry.
"Young Master, please meet me, Princess Hui'an!" Butler Yuan came to the two of them and saluted respectfully.
Wen Nuan was surprised when she saw Butler Yuan whose skin had darkened by more than one level. She nodded slightly: "Butler Yuan, long time no see! So you are here to raise pearls!"
"Back to Princess Hui'an, I've been here for almost two years."
His tone was respectful, his body bowed forward, not daring to make any mistakes.
Not long after returning to Beijing, he was sent by his master to take care of this pearl farm!
Weathering with wind, sun, and rain, God knows how could he have ever experienced such hardships while living in such a privileged position in the palace!
Nalan Jinnian ignored Butler Yuan and held Warm's hand: "Go forward and see if the pearl clams caught by the fishermen are big."
"Good!" Nuan Nuan thought, she no longer had to waste time and effort carving those jade pendants and jade pendants.
Take some pearls back here and nourish them with purple energy. You will have a health-preserving pearl bracelet and a pearl necklace!
Well, customers who book a hundred thousand taels still have to give a jade pendant, jade is priceless.
But not many people are willing to recharge one hundred thousand taels at a time, so she feels much more relaxed.
Butler Yuan immediately said: "Master, Princess Hui'an is here, please be careful of slippery roads."
The two of them stared at the path under their feet and walked forward cautiously.
Soon the two came to the open space in front of a wooden house.
There are already fishermen opening pearls here.
There is a pile of pearl clams on the ground
There are several women sitting here opening pearls.
Some of them had children with them.
A pearl clam is bigger than an adult's hand. After being opened, it reveals small pink and white pearls inside.
Fishing boats are still rowing on the vast pond, collecting clams and transporting them back to the shore.
Butler Yuan said to everyone who was opening the pearls: "My boss is here. Let's give Master Qi and Miss Wen a gift!"
Everyone quickly put down the tools and pearl clams in their hands, picked up the children next to them and prepared to salute.
They took a look at Nalan Jinnian and Princess Hui'an, and felt that the two of them were more dazzling than the sun in the sky. After one glance, they did not dare to take a closer look, and quickly lowered their heads and saluted.
There were only a few children, with their innocent eyes open, dumbfounded!
This brother and sister are so beautiful!
Nalan Jinnian raised his hand: "No need to be polite, just get busy!"
Everyone still made a simple salute: "I have met Master Qi, and I have met Princess Hui'an."
Nuan Nuan looked at the children, then at the nearby pond, and reminded: "Children are playful, so it's better not to bring them to this water."
There is such a big pond here, and the adults are busy working. Sometimes they are too focused and forget about the children. If they slip and fall into the water, something will happen, and that will be bad.
The women who brought their children immediately became at a loss and hurriedly promised: "Yes, we won't bring them next time, not anymore! Girl, don't drive me away!"
The wages here are high, and you are not tired just sitting here opening pearls. Although your hands may get broken sometimes, you only earn a hundred cash a day. You can't find such a job even if you hold a lantern!
"That's right, we won't bring our children next time! Don't drive us away, girl. The children are very obedient and won't run around or steal pearls."
... ... .
Nuan Nuan knew that they had misunderstood, so he smiled and reassured: "I'm just worried that something will happen to the children, so I won't drive you away."
There was a little girl who was scared, but she still endured her fear and said timidly: "Beautiful sister, I won't run around. I can open pearls and help my mother earn copper coins! Don't drive me away, okay! My younger brother is sick at home. I need money to buy medicine and see a doctor."
The child's mother's face changed with fright, and she immediately said: "Miss, don't get me wrong, the child is not paid for her wages! I felt that one hundred cash a day was too much, so I asked the child to help, and she did not need to be paid for her wages. !Really! Manager Yuan, right?! I told you that the children are just here to help and don’t need to be paid!”
She can't live without this job!
After working for more than ten days, I have money for my son’s medicine!
The little girl didn't know. She only knew that her mother said that she would bring her to open pearls together and earn money to treat her brother's illness, so she came happily!
Other women also rushed to ensure that their children would not need to be paid.
