Chapter 192 Sapphire Plate
As soon as Shen You's shop opened, Liu Zheng and Li Heng arrived.
Liu Zheng came to share the accounts with her and solemnly expressed his gratitude,
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Shen, for helping me. Otherwise, Yun Yan."
Shopkeeper Shen not only allowed them to earn money, but the life of the family gradually improved, and he also saved Liu Yunyan's life.
"I hope Shopkeeper Shen won't dislike this thank you gift."
Liu Zheng brought a plate carved from sapphire with gold wire inlaid on the edge.
At first glance, it’s a treasure trove.
It should have been given to the palace when the family was in high esteem, and the standard was quite high.
"I have already received money from Miss Liu Er, and this thing will be used as future expenses."
As soon as Shen You finished speaking, Li Heng heard what she meant, "Miss Shen still wants to go to Beidi?"
He was originally worried about the problem of food and grass, and when the war started, it would be difficult to transport supplies.
The reinforcements going to Shuozhou have food in hand, but the situation in Shuozhou City is severe, so they can only relieve the urgent needs. I am afraid that they will not be able to last long after they are reunited.
There is also wood. Wood is terrible without a fire in that kind of place.
Just eating dry food as hard as a rock and eating snow directly, I can't resist it.
But if Miss Shen goes, many problems may be solved.
"Yes, just these two days." Shen You replied.
Li Heng exhaled, feeling happy that there was a way out of the predicament, but also feeling a little depressed.
Who did Miss Shen go to Beidi this time because of?
National Preceptor, or Daqi?
Naturally, he hoped in his heart that Miss Shen was doing this for Da Qi.
Li Heng wanted to ask more than once what was her relationship with the Imperial Master.
But I didn't ask once, and I felt that I didn't have the position to ask her about her personal matters.
"There is a shortage of supplies in the North. If you can help me a little bit, if you need anything in exchange, just ask." Li Heng said gently.
Liu Zheng also said, "I am now sending someone to the warehouse to get two thousand taels of gold as an advance payment."
Since working with Shen You to sell warm clothes and down jackets, Li Heng and the Liu family have never been short of money.
Liu Zheng was not only fighting for his country, but also for his cousin and uncle.
I was afraid that there would be no money or things there that could be exchanged for supplies. Two thousand taels of gold was equivalent to 20,000 taels of silver, which was all the money the Liu family had in their account.
After doing transactions for so long, Shen You didn't need to calculate. The money was 30 million, minus the 20% handling fee, and the money she earned.
It would be enough to replace it with supplies.
Of course, this is just food and medicine, not other things.
Shen You: "Then find some valuable wood and spices. It's best to have fragrance recipes."
There is a big man in the collecting circle who likes to study lost ancient recipes, maybe they can be used.
In fact, they didn't give advance payment, so Shen You asked Wen Zhi to go to the old emperor's warehouse to collect the accounts.
She can't lose money.
"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver it later." Li Heng nodded with a smile.
Shen You took out the diamonds, tourmalines, and emeralds that she sorted out yesterday.
She kept a piece of tourmaline with the most beautiful color for herself, and Wen Zhi asked Daqi's skilled craftsmen to carve it.
Everything for sale is here.
Liu was working for the Daqi royal family, and to put it bluntly, his real boss was Li Heng.
Shen You originally wanted to let Liu Erniang sell these things that were very valuable in ancient times.
It's her own property there.
But precious ores are really not something that ordinary merchants can sell. They have to let them sell the best batch.
A batch of imitated Qing Dynasty buttons can be used as accessories on clothes and given to Liu Erniang. Seeing these precious gems, Liu Zheng blinked, why does Shopkeeper Shen still have them?
Could it be that she has her own mine? During the time you were away, did you go on a patrol?
The quality of these things looks even better than the tributes.
His Highness is in need of money here to prepare supplies for General Lu. After selling these things, the dividends will be another huge sum of money!
Very good!
"One more thing, I want to buy a batch of saltpeter and sulfur. You can deduct the money from your account." Shen You continued.
"What is the use of these things, girl?" Li Heng wondered.
"Yes, but don't worry, it will definitely not be used to harm Daqi."
After Shen You said this, Li Heng didn't ask any more questions,
"I certainly believe Miss Shen. If you want to harm Daqi, you won't trade with me so many times."
Every time, what she sent to Daqi were good things.
Perhaps she wanted to resell the saltpeter and sulfur to her world.
Thinking of this, Li Heng's eyes couldn't help but fall on the photo on the counter again.
Seeing that Li Heng agreed, Liu Zheng understood and asked,
"I wonder how many shopkeeper Shen needs? There are too many of these two things, and it will be difficult to prepare them all at once."
Saltpeter can be used to make ice in summer, and sulfur is also a medicinal material. It is sold in Daqi, but the source is controlled by officials and imperial merchants.
There is an undercurrent in the capital. If you buy too much, you will definitely be traced.
His Highness would not want to see this shop discovered by people from King Cheng's side.
Shen You understood their situation, "Just buy as much as is convenient for you."
The [Lancheng] shelter was used to make explosives, and she originally wanted to get some first to see the cost.
other side.
Shuozhou City.
It was getting dark very quickly, and the excited shouts and the sound of horse hooves from the foreigners could be heard far away in the silent Northland, making people shudder.
"The general and deputy generals of Da Qi guarding the city are dead, leaving only a group of remnants. Charge!"
“Keep this city down today!”
After shouting for a few times, the foreign soldiers gathered together and became excited, exuding a bloodthirsty and warlike aura.
There was a huge disparity in fighting power between the two sides. There were indeed not many people left in the city, but there was no fear on Liu Yunyan's face.
They are the defenders of the city, and Shuozhou City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is the biggest advantage.
The foreigners had a defense map and knew where the terrain was easiest to attack. They wanted to take advantage of the dark night and high winds to lurk a few groups into the city, attack from both inside and outside, and catch the city defenders off guard.
The plan was very good, but just as they rushed in, a white light suddenly came over.
The confused expressions on the faces of the foreign soldiers lurking halfway down the road were clearly illuminated.
What the hell can illuminate this far? !
The next second, arrows were shot from the city's geographical advantage.
Several foreigners fell down before they could react, and those behind quickly used wooden shields to block them.
But the arrow rain was too dense, and their plan to penetrate into the city from here could not be carried out.
Someone finally managed to get to the front, and then there was an arrow without an arrow, but with a white cloth bag tied around it.
That thing burns you when touched, and explodes instantly when it hits a rocket!
"Back off! Back off!" The person who realized something was wrong held his head to avoid it.
"Second Miss is still prescient! She actually guessed that foreigners would sneak in from here!"
Uncle Zhou watched the foreigners' most critical plan fail tonight, his face full of excitement.
He said that the second young lady would be no worse than Mr. Liu and would definitely be able to lead everyone to defend Shuozhou!
Now, let’s see who dares to gossip!
"Second Miss, what on earth are these?" The soldiers under his command looked at the strong ultra-long-distance flashlight in surprise.
And that white cloth bag.
It’s all so magical!
I’m asking for recommendation votes at the beginning of the month, and monthly votes~
