After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

As the news that the soldiers of the Great Zhou would protect the herdsmen gradually spread, more and more herdsmen and caravans came to the Fuming Town market to trade.

These herdsmen do not have high requirements for food; newly harvested wheat will do, as will old grain.

So if the people on the border were craving for meat, they would take out a small bag of wheat, take it to the market, and after some gestures with the herdsmen, they could exchange it for half a leg of lamb.

The north wind was blowing, but the city walls and the outside were bustling with activity.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a lively scene." Gu Shisan felt a little sad as he looked at the people's faces showing a hint of blood.

The deputy general has been so worried these past few days that his cheeks were swollen when he woke up this morning. "You are familiar with the general, go ask him what she plans to do with the cashmere wool in the warehouse?"

The deputy general felt a buzzing pain in his head when he saw the wool and cashmere. These were all bought with real gold and silver!

The deputy general covered his chest with his hands, feeling as if there was a huge hole there.

Seeing the deputy general's distressed look, Gu Shisan didn't dare to bother him anymore and quickly ran down the city wall.

Before reaching Gu Nanxi's residence, Gu Shisan ran into the Kyoto inspection team.

President Chen and others didn't notice Gu Shisan, who was still chirping there.

"I heard that the governor bought a lot of cashmere wool. He called us here this time. Is he going to force us to sell it?"

"That's absolutely not possible! If we can only buy it this time to gain a good relationship with the governor, then that's fine. But this cashmere wool is available every year, how can we afford it?"

"We must unify our attitude later, so as not to be defeated one by one by the Grand Governor."

"Yes, that's right. We will not give up even if we die! No matter how smart the governor is, he can't force us to bow our heads."

After everyone discussed it, they walked into the door together.

"The master is waiting for you inside." The servant led everyone to the lobby. Gu Nanxi and Su Yunyan huddled together, heads touching, as if they were looking at something.

"Greetings, His Excellency the Governor." The merchants bowed respectfully.

After hearing this, Gu Nanxi raised her head and looked at everyone, with a smile on her face.

"You came just in time. What have you gained from traveling through the seven towns?"

President Chen and others looked at each other and thought to themselves that it was just as expected!

Chairman Chen rolled his eyes and took the lead, saying, "There is a shortage of food at the border, and my Yue family happens to be in the food business. So I want to transport food from Kyoto."

Including President Chen, everyone secretly glanced at Gu Nanxi's expression.

Everyone knew that Gu Nanxi wanted the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce to purchase local specialties to promote local development, but President Chen's words were equivalent to taking money out of Gu Nanxi's pocket.

Gu Nanxi's expression remained unchanged, her eyebrows and eyes still curved: "Mountains of gold and silver are not as good as these green mountains and clear waters. President Chen, are you really not going to take another look?"

Seeing that Gu Nanxi was not angry, President Chen wiped the cold sweat from his palms and felt a little contented in his heart.

Look, even if Gu Nanxi is the most ambitious person in the Great Zhou, a famous general, and the governor of Yunzhou, so what?

In this poor Yunzhou, doesn't she still have to rely on us businessmen?

Chairman Chen couldn't suppress his smile: "I've thought about it. For businessmen like us, we have a large group of people to feed. I can't destroy their jobs. The general loves his people like his own children, so he must not have the heart to do that."

Su Yunyan frowned. Why was President Chen speaking so sarcastic? Wasn't he the one who came to guard the gate of Yongchang Marquis's Mansion and begged to come with him?

Why does it seem like it was his mother who asked him to do this?

Gu Nanxi nodded and did not ask President Chen any more questions. Instead, she looked at the others and said, "What about you? Do you also want to do the grain business?"

The others were not as brave as President Chen and laughed off the topic: "No! We have never been in the grain business, so we won't show off our skills."

"Yunzhou is vast and sparsely populated. We have only taken a rough look over the past few days and have not yet found a suitable path."

"Yes, yes, please give us more time, Lord Governor."

Su Yunyan was almost mad as a puffer fish. No matter how nicely these people said, they still didn't think highly of A Niang.

Gu Nanxi didn't make things difficult for them: "Okay, don't worry, take your time to look around. I have a business here that makes things out of cashmere wool, are you interested?"

President Chen's lips curled up. It was indeed because of this matter!

This time, everyone's attitude was very consistent: "Thank you for the promotion, Governor, but everyone has their own expertise. We have never been in the cashmere and wool business, so we won't take this risk."

Su Yunyan felt that this group of people were ungrateful and wanted to step forward to argue with them, but Gu Nanxi patted her on the back of her hand and told her to calm down.

Gu Nanxi saw the guests off: "Since you are not interested in this deal, I will not force you to stay. Please do as you please."

As soon as they stepped out of the house, everyone started chattering.

"As expected, President Chen guessed it right!"

"We offended the governor like this, I wonder if she will bear a grudge against us?"

Chairman Chen said confidently, "Even if you hold a grudge, so what? This is Yunzhou, and we are in Kyoto, thousands of miles away. It is said that when people leave, the tea gets cold. Can the governor still extend his hand to Kyoto?"

"That's right. You actually said that mountains of gold and silver are not as good as green mountains and clear waters. Haha, that's ridiculous. How can this be green mountains and clear waters? It's clearly a barren land where no one lives!"

The person who was speaking did not control his volume, causing passers-by to turn their heads frequently.

Chairman Chen adjusted the beads on his wrist and said like an elder giving advice to a younger generation: "What the governor said about making things with cashmere and wool is nothing more than making felt like the nomadic people. We saw it along the way. Those products are of a single color, nothing special, and scratchy to the touch. How could those nobles in Kyoto like them?"

"Of course not. Even if someone wants to buy it, it's just for the sake of novelty."

"After spending these days in Yunzhou, I feel like I smell like Yangshan. It's hard to imagine who would be so foolish as to take these smelly cashmere and wool products to the Central Plains to sell them?"

"I think this batch of cashmere wool is a waste of money. The general grew up in Kyoto and has not seen much of the world. He doesn't know that Kyoto and other states are two different worlds!"

Everyone in the Chamber of Commerce laughed at Gu Nanxi. Even if he could make clouds and rain in the court, so what? Business was not that simple.

Little did they know that their conversation had already been overheard by others.

That night, Governor Song's residence was crowded with people again.

Gu Shisan had a worried look on his face: "Song Lang, do you think the young lady will really have to pay compensation?"

Song Zhizhou took out a brush and wrote and drew on the paper.

Gu Shisan leaned over to take a look, and what was written on the white paper was [Mountains of gold and silver are not as good as these green mountains and clear waters].

Song Zhizhou stared at the words, pondered for a long time, and sighed: "You are worthy of being my godmother."
