The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 1139: Chapter 1139: A Bit Jealous (1)

Yang Ruxin deflated immediately upon hearing that. It seemed she had taken it for granted; the ancient world was not without its shrewd businessmen. Since nobody had embarked on this venture, it indicated that the profits to be gained were not commensurate with the risks involved, not enough to tempt anyone.

”However...” Gu Qingheng smiled, ”if Xinxin wants to do it, it’s not impossible... For land, we could use the Imperial Post Stations... For waterways, we could rely on the grain transport guild...”

”Imperial Post Stations? Grain transport guild?” Yang Ruxin’s eyes lit up.

”Right.” Gu Qingheng nodded, ”Those bandits and pirates are very astute, except for those who are in open rebellion or truly blind, they would not dare to rob the caravans of the Imperial Post Stations, as doing so would be a suicide mission...”

The Great Xuan Dynasty had established post stations in major transportation hubs in the north, south, east, and west, manned by soldiers dispatched by the Imperial Court, primarily for the transportation of supplies needed by the Imperial Court and for intelligence transmission, much like how Yang Guifei of the Tang Dynasty was fond of lychees, brought swiftly to Beijing from Lingnan through these post stations.

Waterways were convenient, largely controlled by the grain transport guild, and in the Great Xuan Dynasty, the guild was an organ of the Imperial Court. The head of the grain transport guild was a Fifth-rank official, a higher rank than even the local magistrate.

The cargo transported by the grain transport was generally in large quantities, such as salt, grain, and Official Silver, among other things. Occasionally, it would also transport various goods from the north to the south.

Although the sea ban had not been enacted in this era, maritime shipping was still fraught with difficulty. It is said that Wa Country was the nearest foreign nation by sea, but a round trip could take several months, and safety was not guaranteed. Sometimes when a sea vessel docked, they seemed to bring a lot of goods, but in reality, there was hardly enough to go around. Who would need to retail it?

Those who had access to these matters were not from ordinary households.

”I’ll leave it to you,” Yang Ruxin was elated. The Imperial Court was the biggest support one could have, but not everyone could take advantage of this opportunity. However, her situation was special, after all, she was a partner with Prince Eight, so adding one more collaboration wasn’t a bad idea at all. She believed Prince Eight would not refuse, and moreover, once her peppers were widely cultivated, there would be even more partnerships.

Gu Qingheng nodded: ”Actually, your medicinal tea business is headed south, so the Fang Family must be using grain transport...”

Yang Ruxin understood then. The Fang Family had been in business for many years, and though they had not dealt with north-south goods, they routinely transported goods all over. Since they could do so safely, they must have their own methods.

It seemed that this matter required serious study.

However, in the absence of replenishment of goods from the outside, she had to find a way to supplement them herself.

Erni’s dolls were already in collaboration with the Wei Family, but there was still the hair accessory business, and the backpack business, none of which were partnered with others yet, which were perfect for stocking the variety store.

”Xinxin, I don’t want to interfere with your affairs, but are you really going to use people from the Guan Family?” On the way back, Gu Qingheng still asked, his tone unintentionally carrying a hint of sourness.

”You don’t like it?” Yang Ruxin looked up at him. ”Are you jealous?”

”A bit,” Gu Qingheng admitted honestly, ”but even more so, I’m worried.”

Yang Ruxin’s eyebrows rose slightly.

”Guan Qingshu is indeed not bad at his core, but his parents from the Guan Family are a bit too power-hungry, especially his mother. I’m concerned that if something happens in the future, they are not easy to deal with...”
