Just as Zhao Liang and Zhu Bin were talking, Liu hurriedly found Miss Xiao.

It happened that Mrs. Xiao was in Chenzhou City these days because the foreign goods store she opened with the Liu family has opened.

Yes, foreign goods store.

That is the imported products sent directly from Lingnan, such as clocks, pocket watches, enamel and perfume, even red and white wines and some exquisite glassware, as well as foreign cloths that are rare in the mainland.

It mainly consists of velvet cloth and wool materials. For example, gorgeous velvet, which cost nine taels of silver in Guangzhou. After coming to Chenzhou, its value doubled.

Opening a foreign goods store was the first good trick that Mrs. Xiao came up with after serving Liu, but it was only completed until now.

It takes time from the starting point of contacting Guangzhou to picking up the goods from there.

Moreover, this foreign goods store is not just about to open one. Chenzhou Prefecture is not a prosperous place. The places where real money are made are in Zhuxian Town, Zhoujiakou, Xiedian, Kaifeng Heluo and other high-ranking and powerful merchants gather.

Of course, the line of the Grand Canal is even more prosperous, but with Liu's small body, she couldn't squeeze in.

There have been people selling foreign goods there.

That is, there is still some effect in a blank place like the Central Plains.

Miss Xiao has been doing her best these days, but who told her to be trapped? Zhao Liang used her son's future as bait. Madam Xiao couldn't bear to say the name official, even if she could only be a cow and a horse for the Liu family. No matter how hard or tired she was, she didn't say much.

Instead, he planned for Liu wholeheartedly.

For example, the branches that will be opened in the future.

Selling foreign goods in Zhongyuan is still a market that has not been developed much. They can take the lead but may not be able to lead step by step.

Because Kang Wan is the real young lady of the Zhao family. If she had a thrust into it..., haha. Look at which temple gate would you visit at the starting point far away from Guangzhou?

So it is impossible to take the lead, you must take the lead a lot. And Liu also needs to work harder on Mr. Zhao!

Before, whether it was choosing a store or recruiting shopkeepers and shop assistants, the reason for the external publicity was department stores.

Madam Xiao's outfit was still as old as ever. She entered the house slowly and saw Liu's appearance intertwined with anxiety and joy at first glance.

There must be something good about this.

Miss Xiao thought this in her heart, but she was still not anxious or impatient.

But soon her face couldn't hold back.

What kind of belly do you have, Liu, have you not counted it yet?

Going crazy!

Now she actually wants to get a share of the pie at sea? Moreover, the Zhao family actually has a business at sea. She thought that there was only foreign companies.

"Do you have money?" asked Miss Xiao.

Only this foreign goods store Liu took the silver flowers in his hand, because Zhao Liang gave her another 10,000 taels.

"I don't have money, but my man has money." Liu's eyes were full of pride. Even if Zhao Liang didn't give her much money.

"Besides, I'm not going to compete for food with Mr. Zhao. I just took two ships from Zhu Bin to transfer goods."

Zhao Liang told her that many sea boats from Fujian and Guangdong only arrived in Jiangnan, and then the goods were handed over to Jiangnan's boat gang to transport them.

Because most sea boats in the south are not suitable for driving in northern waters—the northern coastal waters have many shallows, suitable for flat-bottomed sand boats, while the southern sea boats are mostly pointed-bottomed boats. This kind of boat is very suitable for breaking waves and is suitable for deep water areas.

Mrs. Liu doesn't understand these.

She doesn't think she needs to understand either.

She just needs to know that when her man heard that she wanted to have a meal from the sea, combined with the foreign goods store she made, she gave him an idea - to get a boat from Fujian and Guangdong to the Yangtze River.

The depth of the Yangtze River is still very good. It can sail tens of tons of ships on the east side of Jiangning, let alone small wooden boats worth hundreds of tons. Isn’t this possible joining the fleet that my uncle has grasped?

Of course, both are very weak now.

The inland river fleet controlled by my uncle is very strong, but the time is still short. The plan to go south to the Han River has not yet been completed, which means that it has made a name for itself on the Shaying River.

Just as Liu was about to plunge into the muddy water, Zhao Liang gave her 10,000 taels of silver. Even with Zhu Bin's help, Liu only fiddled with three or five small boats.

But everything needs to be developed step by step, right?

Zhao Liang is not in a hurry.

Liu was so proactive that he had a rare opportunity. Although this road was difficult and he might even lose money, Zhao Liang was happy to pay the money. You should know that he was not assured of Zhu Bin, but he was trapped by his limited strength - he had no sand to mix it with, so he had to "trust".

If Liu can make a fortune, it may not be a restraint for Zhu Bing? What's more, this also involves Zhao Liang's "industrial plan" for the next year. It is very important to "directly" transport goods from the Central Plains to Lingnan. Although Liu's plan is very whimsical, it coincides with Zhao Liang's next plan.

How could Zhao Liang not support him?

Ten thousand taels of silver are just an appetizer.

Madam Xiao is the loyal minister of the Liu family. What’s even more difficult is that Madam Xiao is a native of Yangzhou Prefecture and has heard of some of the things on the waters, right?

Madam Xiao was silent.

She naturally didn't know anything about water transportation, so she had no intersection with the refreshment industry. But as Liu said, she had always heard of it since she was a child in Yangzhou Prefecture.

There was even one of the couple of women she invited at the beginning, and her husband's family made a living on the water.

"It's not the right way. Please write a letter to ask what's going on." Liu smiled happily, knowing that Miss Xiao could help her.

...

The conversation between Zhao Liang and Zhu Bin has also come to an end.

The general policy has been finalized, and the two have discussed a lot of specific details. The ships and artillery seem to be no problem, although it will take some time to wait.

Only when it comes to the final manpower issue, Zhu Feng needs to return to Yunxiao before giving a conclusive answer.

Zhao Liang was still very satisfied. What was it like to wait for a year or two? He still had plenty of time.

Zhu Bin was also very satisfied with Zhao Liang, the major shareholder behind the scenes. He asked clearly what he didn't understand. He pretended to understand, did not point fingers at the operation method of the ship gang, and did not be arrogant to him. Yu Zhu Bin said this was a great respect.

However, his praise for Zhao Liang quickly became speechless in his good mood.

Looking at Madam Xiao in front of him, he squeezed out a smiley face stiffly.

"Don't worry, if this matter is covered by Mr. Zhu, it will not be too much trouble for Aunt Yu!"

Then after seeing off Miss Xiao, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

There are still such major shareholders in this world?

In essence, this matter is equivalent to the major shareholder digging his own corner.

What is this? Love beauty or not?

Zhu Bi found it difficult to understand Zhao Liang's mentality. Women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children, so why did they take the initiative to show up?

If you really like this person, then you can hide the charm of the golden house.

There are many wealthy businessmen and merchants in Fujian who raise outdoor rooms. If you feel pain in your heart, you will give away a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Why do you have to take the white silver and ask the outdoor rooms to spend money...

This is the first time he has seen someone like Zhao Liang.
