Spices, this thing is not useful than expensive materials such as mahogany and jade!

At least it can be used all the time. If it is properly maintained, it will not be a problem for decades or hundreds of years, and the same is true for jade!

When Sun Houpu wanted to enter the spice market, he found that the spices mentioned on the market had two different concepts!

The Seme people in the desert set out from the distant Red Sea and came to the South Ocean through the endless ocean. They transported spices such as pepper and cinnamon. The characteristic of this spice is that most of them are used for consumption!

There are the largest number of spices on the market! Because the climate in Nanyang is most suitable for the growth of this type of crop, most areas in Nanyang are in the agricultural era, and they are not only farming but also growing these high-value spices.

How much is a pound of grain worth? If it turns into spices, the profit of one pound will increase at least dozens of times. After all, there is no way to grow spices in the desert!

The spices that the people in the Song Dynasty liked were completely different from the spices that the people in Semu needed! The fragrance that the people in the Song Dynasty wanted was fragrance, which was used for smelling rather than for eating!

In the Song Dynasty, there were two ways to use spices, one was to wear them, and the other was to make soup and bathe! It turned out that when sea transportation was not very developed, the Song Dynasty used its own traditional spices, musk fennel, Huo Xiang, etc. During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian opened up the trade routes in the Western Regions. At that time, the Han people began to come into contact with incense species outside the Central Plains!

Frankincense, agarwood, agarwood, ambergris, cymbidium, cymbidium, Jinyanxiang and other spices that are not produced in the Central Plains have begun to enter the world of the Han people, and the number of species is almost thirty or forty! This type of fragrance is more fragrant than the plant fragrance produced by the Central Plains itself, and the fragrance remains longer, becoming a symbol of wealth and status!

With the development of the times, spices were originally precious resources that only nobles and royal families could afford. In the Song Dynasty, the wealth of the people was highly concentrated, and even people with similar wealth wanted to use this high-end product that could only be used by the upper class!

But if a normal person thinks about it, he will know what the use of fragrant things is. It smells good. It can't fill your stomach or live longer after smelling it. It's more expensive than gold!

It would be fine if it was cinnamon and pepper, but the people of the Song Dynasty liked this kind of spice!

In the next few days, Sun Houpu spent a lot of effort to investigate the entire spice market. Although the results were different from what he expected, he came to the same conclusion. If the spices were eaten, the profit would still be there, but if the spices were used to smell, the profit would be even greater!

Because the Song Dynasty had too much demand for spices!

Before the Tang Dynasty, although the trade routes were opened, the transportation capacity of land was limited after all, and the Tang people valued gorgeous clothes and food, so their pursuit of sentiment was not as good as that of the Song people. In this dynasty, spices were used for official and private banquets, colleagues gatherings, brothels and taverns, courts, and a large number of folk weddings and funerals!

Where does spices come from? They are nothing more than Champa, the Three Buddhas and the Great Food, and the South China Sea. Although they burn incense themselves, they are not as good as the Song Dynasty. To put it bluntly, spices are dispensable things in their eyes and are not worth anything in the local area. However, as long as they travel across the ocean and travel to the Song Dynasty, their value will immediately increase by more than a hundred times!

What is the difference between this and making money with nothing? How did the Song Dynasty make money? Tea on the mountain, porcelain made from soil in the ground, and silk woven from silkworms spit out. The extremely cheap things are transformed into sky-high goods, and then sold overseas, and the collection is also sky-high! The two are exactly the same!

The sub-spice used for smelling is not purchased at all, and all of them were bought by the Song people. The thief Song people did not fully enjoy themselves. The Khitans and other inland nomadic people also needed incense, and they would like to pay for it in the end! This is the consensus that the Song people would follow and play with them, and they would also play more brilliantly!

This is probably the earliest marketing, and countless wealth disappeared into the vain smoke!

Sun Houpu verified these things for several days and told Liang Chuan that Liang Chuan was just a little bit of aware of them. He just stayed on the concept of making money in spices. As for how to make money in spices and which spices can make money, he really doesn't know!

Xia Xue was not sick, but was so angry that Xu was lying on the bed that she didn't want to come out and be criticized. In the first few days, her husband Sun Houpu was guarding the bed and served tea and medicine to ask about her well-being, for fear that her wife would be wronged. After a long talk with Liang Chuan that night, Sun Houpu thought about planning his next life plan, and came to visit Xia Xue from time to time, mainly to do his own business!

As soon as Sun Houpu neglected Xia Xue, Xia Xue's illness was cured. She became even more angry. Could anyone in Qingyuan be bullied? Even Sun Houpu, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, changed his mind!

Xia Xue got out of bed and went to find Sun Houpu, preparing to have a big fight with him, otherwise the anger that was held in her heart would drive her crazy!

But where to find Sun Houpu? At this time, Sun Houpu was visiting the city and could not find anyone. There was a rough man Yang Baxian in the office. He asked him a question. He didn't know about it. This old guy, Su Wei, pretended to be deaf when he asked, and he was even an old fox. In the end, Xia Xue had to go to Liang Chuan!

Liang Chuan asked Zhaodi to go to Taocheng to transport a batch of white coal today. Zhaodi wanted to make iron tools. Now the amount of coal is getting bigger and bigger. Several prisoners were dragged into the city to the prison in Taocheng, and a lot of coal could be loaded on the carriage.

Liangchuan's coal pulling is roughly similar to the Sun family's smuggling tea, but Duan Peng now has Han Qi's instructions, and Liangchuan's actions have been greatly facilitated in Quanzhou Prefecture. Local officials generally dare not make things difficult for Liangchuan casually. Weiyuanlou even used the prefecture's order to instruct local counties to give care!

A group of people were sent out in Tingzhou's iron ore. Cao Buxiu led his team. The mine was to be re-excavated, and it would take some time to transport the iron ore back!

After these important resources of the two industries were in place, Liang Chuan was able to equip a large number of troops. Many of the Tianxiong Army's equipment did not return after the battle against Penghu, and Liang Chuan did not plan to return it. Si Fangxing was all sent out, so what equipment would he still have?

After Liang Chuan saw off Zhaodi's convoy, he met Xia Xue who was coming out of the office.

Xia Xue was furious: "Where has Brother Park gone?"

"You finally woke up, and you would have the chance to go to the city with me!"

"What are you going to do?"

"You will know when you go!"

Where can Liang Chuan take Xia Xue and naturally reconcile the conflict between her and Xu! Sun Houpu came back from the street and saw Xia Xue getting out of bed. Liang Chuan signaled him not to talk too much, otherwise it would stimulate Xia Xue again.

Poor Gao Chun once again acted as Liang Chuan's tool guy, but this tool guy is dedicated and even his acting skills are always online. It can be said that he is the true character of his acting!

Sun Houpu was afraid that his wife would not cooperate, so he hired her to take her into the sedan chair and sent her to the front of Sun's house before telling Xia Xue the truth that the ugly daughter-in-law was going to meet her parents-in-law!

Liang Chuan and Gao Chun also brought a group of yamen runners to surround the gate of the Sun family, and the two entered the Sun family in a swagger.

The enemy was very jealous when they met. Xia Xue was still worried about Xu's insults towards her. Xu and Mr. Sun sat in the middle hall but were trembling. At this moment, he realized the power of this daughter-in-law. If the soldiers were not bloody, they could make the old couple kneel down and beg for mercy!

Xia Xue only thought Liang Chuan wanted to take her to something strange in the city, but she never thought it was this tiger's den! But she could not let her face go after all the eight-carriage sedan chairs were carried into the Sun family! The elders of the Sun family were all present, and even the Xu brothers, Sun Houcai, were accompanied with a smile, and the shrews who fought Xia Xue for 300 rounds that day in Zhenwu Temple!

When he heard that Gao Chun was going to attack his family, the heads of these shrews could not sit still. It would be fine if they were anywhere else. In Qingyuan, a little bit of land, if you can't get along with Gao Chun, you're seeking death!

At worst, you will be beaten, and at least you will be scolded. If you want to live a better life, you will have to apologize!

The atmosphere in Sun's middle hall was so awkward. A group of people with ulterior motives gathered together, and it was neither smiling nor smiling!

Liang Chuan and Gao Chun arrived late, and they entered the central hall of the Sun family with a swagger. There was a table in the middle, and there was a chair next to the Eight Immortals table. Master Sun had already sat in the upper left head, and the upper right head was usually left for the elders of the Xia family, namely Xia Shu!

It was originally a party for the Sun family, but when Gao Chun came, the more people followed him!

There is no airtight wall in the world, Gao Chun has locked up the tea leaves of the Sun family. This is not right. Who is the Sun family? He is Xia Shu’s in-laws. If you dare not be able to get along with the Sun family, except for the water in your mind, it must be a different idea!

Gao Chun locked up other people's tea leaves, and the news spread to Weiyuan Tower immediately! A group of officials in Weiyuan Tower were so anxious that they patted their thighs. They only knew how to pat Sun Houpu's horse's legs. They had long heard of Xia Xue and others in Zhenwu Temple, but they did not have this sensitivity. They would learn from Gao Chun to stand up!

To put it bluntly, everyone still can't touch this pulse. It's an art to come forward. Who knows whether the Sun family stumbling or really fighting? Whoever gets involved in this kind of thing will die? It's not like Gao Chun, but it's accurate information and precise strikes!

When these people heard that Xia Xue was going to join the Sun family, they all followed him with their faces licked their faces! Gao Chun alone can't take all the good things, and it's a profit to drink some soup!

They also have the face to say that they are Sun Houpu’s good brothers, who are here to support the scene! If they don’t hit people with smiles, they will come, so there is naturally no reason to beat people.

Liang Chuan was not polite, and as soon as he came up, he sat down at the upper right. This seat was earth-shaking, and everyone stood there in shock! The officials from Weiyuan Tower cursed in their hearts. Liang Chuan was indeed a fox, hiding so deeply! Fortunately, he followed him this time, otherwise they would have no idea about many things!

As far as they know, Liang Chuan has been to Beijing twice, Bian Jing. The first time was to work under Ding Wei's hands, and the second time was to follow Xia Shu. Ding Wei was investigated by the court during his term. Liang Chuan was convicted and was convicted and was granted the northwest. Xia Shu had reached the top and has not seen the end of his official position yet!

Why did he sit in the first place?

The people present were so arrogant that they didn't dare to show off. They only thought that Liang Chuan was a slave of Xia Shu's family, grandma. It turned out that this kid had deceived everyone in the world. He wanted to say that he had nothing to do with Xia Shu, and he had the courage to take advantage of the Xia family!

Xia Xue and Sun Houpu were petrified and were in place. Xia Xue's eyes were about to burst into flames. She was so angry. You are dead, Liang Chuan is still not forgetting to take advantage of me! She knew best, but if Liang Chuan had anything to do with his family, how could she not know?

Sun Houpu felt that Liang Chuan was not worthy of sitting in Bianjing. If Liang Chuan hadn't been to him for his own management, he would have been able to marry Prime Minister Xia Xue. That year, no relative was by his side, and only this elder brother kept cheering him up. Who would sit if he didn't sit in the upper head?

Gao Chun couldn't figure out the situation inside, but he was so excited when he saw Liang Chuan sitting in the upper seat. Isn't this just showing that Liang Chuan and Xia Shu are not ordinary? He was not wrong with his outspoken this time!
