Ma Sheng and others came back when it snowed for the first time in the capital.

They took a boat to the river terminal dozens of miles away from the capital and sent someone to report to Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi had already asked Zhou Chun to contact the car dealer. After receiving the letter, he immediately asked Zhou Chun to take more than 20 freight mule carts to the dock to transport the stones on board to the capital.

Originally, as a car dealer, whatever the customer wants to transport is the customer's privacy, and people from the car dealer are not allowed to inquire.

But this time, when they saw that what everyone was carrying from the boat to the mule cart were all stones, the people at the cart dealer couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Steward Zhou, why are you transporting these stones back to the capital?"

To prevent anyone from asking, Zhao Ruxi had made up a lie and told it to Zhou Chun and Ma Sheng. Of course, the time and place were different, so this set of lies had to be used flexibly and the content should be adjusted accordingly.

Zhou Chun sighed and replied calmly: "My old man went to the temple to burn incense. I heard the eminent monk in the temple said that he would have a calamity next year and that he would have to build a house with the stones from Qiucheng, the birthplace of the Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva.

He passed it safely. So he asked his family members to go to Qiucheng to buy stones and transport them to the capital."

Anyway, the old man of the Zhao family has been dead for more than ten years, so he is not afraid of being cursed.

The dealers were skeptical.

However, rich people have nothing to do when they are full and full, and they think about things all day long. Especially those old men and women, who have all kinds of weird ideas. Anyway, they are rich and powerful, so they can do whatever they want.

He didn't ask any more questions. When others asked him curiously, he told Zhou Chun's story, and everyone sighed for a while, lamenting that being rich means being willful.

It took five ships to transport these stones. The ships were quite big, but the stones were heavy and could not be transported by more than twenty mule carts. Zhou Chun hired more than a dozen mule carts locally, and then all the stones were transported.

go back.

When Zhao Ruxi started preparing for the workshop, she did not expect to have such a good shield in doing business with the emperor. Now that the situation has changed, her plans have also changed.

In the jade workshop, she planned to use the same operation mode as the safe. She would hide behind her and not show her face, and directly put the glorious and majestic emperor in front to attract firepower.

So she bought a two-story house in Beining, which was specially used for jade processing workshops. In order to facilitate management and make rational use of the nursing home, she bought the house next door to the house with an authentic tunnel.

Zhou Chun couldn't understand.

He asked: "Girl, isn't the house next door to us empty? Why do we still want to buy the house?" In order to get the house, the girl paid a high price.

"I have other uses for the house next door." Zhao Ruxi said.

Xiao Lingyan's people often come from the tunnel to move away the clock parts processed in the workshop. Although the whereabouts of those men in gray are extremely hidden, the nursing home sent by Zhao Ruxi to guard the house has never discovered them. But the nursing home has its duties.

They are well-behaved and relatively fixed in their actions, making it easier to avoid them.

Once she arranges people to do things inside, these people will be very random, walk around, and have a greater chance of running into each other. It will be very inconvenient for Xiao Lingyan's people to do things, and it will be even more serious if they are discovered, and the secret will be completely exposed.

When the time comes, will she kill someone and silence them, or kill someone and silence them?

So she would rather buy one more house than take this risk.

Fortunately, she has money now, and the house in Beining is not expensive, so buying another one is nothing.

In the past few years of the Jin Dynasty, the country has been peaceful and the people have been at peace, and the housing prices around the capital have been rising steadily over the years. You won't lose anything if you buy this house. You can sell it again if you don't use it in the future, so it can be used as a way to save money.

After unloading the stones and sending away the people from the car dealership, Zhao Ruxi rewarded each of the people who went to the south with twelve taels of silver and said: "You go back and have a good rest. You don't have to do anything before the New Year. After the New Year, I will arrange your work again."

.”

Zhao Ruxi said before going there that they worked hard on the road and took risks, so the monthly payment they were given was 10 taels per month. They spent more than two months going back and forth, and Ma Sheng gave them a total of 25 taels.

Monthly silver. Now I got an additional ten taels of reward money. Everyone was smiling and bowed to Zhao Ruxi to thank him.

Especially those men who were transferred from Zhuangzi, holding silver, their eyes were red.

They used to work hard at Zhuangzi all year round, and they were living a good life if they could have a hundred dollars left at the end of the year. Now it's just a trip, going by car and returning by boat, and they don't have to walk.

In just over a month, they got more money than they could ever earn in their lifetime. They felt like they were dreaming.

Sons of rich people are more courageous than others.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask: "Girl, will you still transport stones in the future? If so, can you still use us?"

Hearing this, the men on Zhuangzi looked at Zhao Ruxi expectantly.

Zhao Ruxi smiled and said: "Of course it depends on luck. I will still use you when the time comes. But when we go again depends on the situation. It may not be until a year later."

A year later, there was another opportunity to earn so much money. The men were so happy that they couldn't help but thank Zhao Ruxi again, and then they said goodbye and left, returning to Zhuangzi.

"Well, I have been away from home for more than two months. It feels like I have been away for a lifetime."

"Really? I have never left Zhuangzi before. When I first came out, I was not used to it at first. But now I think about it, I have the opportunity to travel all over the world, see so much of the world, and get so much money. It is really worth it.

.”

"Haha, Shuanzi, you were crying because you missed home." Another person laughed.

"Huh, do you dare to say you didn't cry?"

"..."

Seeing the young people in front of us playing and making trouble, the man in his thirties walking behind sighed with emotion: "Young lady is so kind and righteous. In the past, even if we were sent to travel far away, it would be nice to give us one or two taels of silver in total."

How can you be willing to give so much?"

"No. Dazhu became so sick on the way. If it were any other master, he might have given up. But Housekeeper Ma was willing to spend a lot of money to treat Dazhu and forcefully rescued Dazhu's life from the gate of hell."

"But Butler Ma said that before setting off, the girl specifically told him that to ensure our health and safety, we would rather go slower and take a longer route than rush for time or take risks. If it hadn't been for the girl's explanation,

How could Butler Ma dare to spend more than ten taels of silver to treat Dazhu? The arrangements on the road were also very loose. Sometimes it was only in the afternoon, and because he didn’t know if there was any place to stay ahead, Butler Ma would let us stop and rest early.

Otherwise, how could it take so long to come and go?"
