Looking at her depressed face, the housekeeper smiled: "Western Ocean and our Qingyan are across the sea, and the merchants are all merchant ships. There is no sea near the capital. The merchants in the capital rarely travel to the ocean by boat, mostly. Directly purchase Western goods on a merchant ship returning from the Western Sea. "At that time, they were dealing with Qingyan merchants, so no matter whether it was the books of the Zhenguo Palace or the Xiaoyao Palace, the Western Ocean would not appear. The word ...

It turns out so.

Murong Xue nodded in understanding, recalling the high, medium and low-end shops she had visited in Beijing, she couldn't help but ask: "There are no Western products in the shops in Beijing ..." She came to Qingyan for more than a year. There are dozens of small and small shops, but I haven't seen anything from the Western ...

The western world is now Europe, America and other places in the west. The things there are very iconic ...

The butler smiled: "That's because Western objects are rare in Qingyan, and when they enter the shop, they will be sold out within three days ..."

Murong Xue: "..."

Well, it was her movements that were slow, and she did n’t see any Western objects. It ’s not that they were n’t sold in other shops ...

"Then there are Western objects in our house?" She has carefully checked the account books and the warehouse of the Zhenguo Palace. She has not seen the Western objects. As for the Xiaoyao Palace, she only roughly looked at the account books, but not the warehouse ...

"Yes, it's all in the storeroom ... The prince, the princess likes Western objects and buys a lot ..." There are two masters who like Western objects, the housekeeper of Xiaoyao Wangfu, who treats Western objects and merchant ships carrying Western goods. I also paid more attention to it: "A while ago, a merchant ship came back from the Western Ocean and brought a lot of goods. The prince and the princess bought a lot back ... Those paintings that let the prince and the princess set off for Great Britain of……"

Murong Xue: "..."

She seemed to be a step slower, passing by a large number of Western objects ...

Murongxue was depressed, and inadvertently saw the gems, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds in the tray supported by a maidservant. Each one was large and rough ...

"This is ... a gem from the West."

The Wangfu housekeeper looked at the gemstones and said, "Yes." The large, rugged is a unique style of Western gemstones.

Murong Xue was surprised: "Why did Wang En buy so many Western gemstones!" Doesn't it mean that Western goods are in short supply, can't ordinary people buy them?

The butler smiled: "The merchant ship that came back was on the shore of Yunzhou." Even if the Western goods are tight, as Wang En of Yunzhou Zhizhou, it is easy to buy these Western gems ...

Murong Xue: "..."

It turned out that Wang En's Western gems were not bought from the Beijing shop, but from the Yunzhou shop: "Yunzhou Linhai!"

"Yes." The steward nodded: Yunzhou is close to the sea, and the sea area of ​​Yunzhou is quite wide, which can be directly connected to the south. Many industrious Yunzhou have built boats to buy and sell. Yunzhou was transported like this, the business was quite good, but unfortunately, there were often pirates at sea, robbing money, robbing goods, and killing people ...

"Pirate?" Murong Xue was surprised, this kind of occupation also has.

"Well." The housekeeper nodded: Professionals such as pirates appeared after the sea merchants made their first sale.

There are robbers doing business on land, and pirates doing business on the sea. The people of Yunzhou are really living in dire straits.

Murongxue sighed with emotion and looked up at the housekeeper, saying: "The emperor sent people to rob the bandits, will the pirates also squash together?"

"Naturally." The housekeeper nodded: The robbers in Yunzhou and the pirates all killed and surrendered, and they did nothing evil. As long as the emperor sent soldiers, they would kill all of them. The tragedy of being seriously injured and becoming crippled will be almost eliminated in the future ...

That's good. For a country, nothing is more important than Cathay Pacific's people's safety.

Murong Xue breathed out a long sigh of breath before he could speak. The report of the next man rang out suddenly: "Sister Concubine, Housekeeper, Master Fu Yifu sent someone to pay the punishment."

"Compensation? What compensation?" Murong Xue did not respond for a moment.

"The reincarnated concubine is a compensation for his fiancee, Wang Shanshan."

"Oh." Murong Xueming was clear. Fu Yi had just quarreled with Wang Shanshan, and now he sent a gift for Wang Shanshan. It seems that he still likes Wang Shanshan quite.

"What did you give?" Murong Xue asked curiously.

"A pair of Western ceramic bottles, a pair of Western glass bottles." The next man said, presenting the compensation, and I saw that the ceramic bottle was a high-necked big-bellied bottle with colorful glaze on white background. The pattern, a picture of a blonde girl picking flowers on the belly of the bottle, and the whole bottle is permeated with a strong western wind.

The glass bottle is light green and beautifully shaped. The 70% or 80% transparency of the bottle and Murong Xue brought it from modern times. Those completely transparent glass bottles are incomparable, but the ice on the glass bottle cracks, let the bottle look It has a hazy beauty and indescribable refinement.

These two pairs of bottles were delivered as a compensation, which was very timely. Such a compensation would make people feel angry with Wang Shanshan and no longer worry about her.

Fu Yi, as a gift-giving person, used twelve points of mind to make up for his fiancee. It was really hard for him ... wait ...

Murongxue suddenly thought of a question: "These two bottles are worth a lot?"

The butler glanced at the bottles and said, "Yes, these two pairs of Western bottles should be at least two or three thousand and two silver."

"Oh!" Murong Xue's cold eyes narrowed slightly: "How can Fu Yi have so many silver ..." Isn't it that he is an orphan?As an orphan, before entering the scholastic entrance examination, he was poor and in vain, and had no savings at all.

After winning the Jinshi, he was sent to Dongshi County as an official. His annual salary was only a few hundred or two. Even if he did not eat or drink, the three-year salary would not add up to two thousand two ...

Wang Fu's housekeeper: "... Maybe he has other input ..."

"What entry? Buy land? Open shop?" Murong Xue asked.

Butler: "... Yes ..." The average person, when he has surplus money in his hand, he will buy land, open a shop, and let money make money. Dongshi County where Fu Yi is located is a rich county. Very close, after he had the surplus in his hand, whether it was buying land, opening a shop, or doing other things, it was not difficult to earn two or three thousand two thousand dollars in three years ...

"Is this the case?" Fu Yi's money really bought land, earned money like a shop?
