When I woke up, I saw He Xiao sitting tremblingly at the door of the room.
"What's wrong, Uncle He?"
"Master, there is a thief in the house. The vegetables, meat and food that the kitchen bought yesterday are all gone. Master... I can't help you..."
"Okay, Uncle He, I've put it away. I've already made plans to buy some things for living. I can't stay in Leizhou for long."
"Where are you going, Master?"
"You can just follow me then. Don't worry, the young prince will be back in a few months."
He Xiao's eyes widened when he heard the words "little prince".
Is the young prince going to return to the court? Now speaking of it, the young prince will have the help of the ministers of the court when he returns, but he is the young Prince Yun, and he can inherit the title of Prince Yun as long as he is crowned Jiguan.
Even if the young prince is a concubine, it will be okay to be given a marquis or something in the end, and he will not have to follow the young prince around!
He Xiao didn't know at all that the court had already decided that Zhao Jinlang was the heir to Prince Yun's Mansion. Now Zhao Jinlang had moved out of Prince Yi's Mansion and returned to the rebuilt Prince Yun's Mansion. When the ministers saw him, they had to call him the Crown Prince. . …
"Young Master... ah... has the young master figured it out?"
"Now that you have figured it out, you quickly find a merchant in Leizhou. Just buy a few stones of food and more, and buy more wood and stones. If you ask, just say we want to build houses and boats. After all, Leizhou is close to the sea, and there are still fishermen. Quite a few!”
"Okay, young master, I'll do it now!"
"Replace this gold bar with a silver ingot. Be careful, don't let the thieves take notice!"...
Although the management of bronze and ironware in Leizhou Prefecture is a little looser, it is still relatively strict. On the contrary, stone and wood are not essential for ordnance, and they are still easy to buy.
"Master, where should I put the stones and wood I bought? Here are ten carts of wood and ten carts of stone. The rest can be brought over at any time!"
"Tear down the wall in the courtyard. There is no one in the courtyard next door anyway. Buy it, open it up, and put all the stones and wood in it."
"Okay, Master."
"Is there enough money?"
"These are all worthless things, enough is enough!"
"How much grain did you buy?"
"Six stones of coarse grains and ten pounds of meat. I was afraid that the meat would spoil, so I didn't buy more!"
"We also want those moldy grains and meat, buy more!"
"You will get sick if you eat that stuff, Master. We still have some money left... Look..."
"Don't worry, Uncle He, it's not for us to eat. Besides, I have a way to deal with things. And the money we carry is most likely being targeted by someone. It's easy to hide the money by buying some smelly meat!"
He Xiao also understood Zhao Song's intention after hearing this. Who would buy smelly meat and moldy grains if they had money? They bought these because they had no money. If they were really robbed, they would not kill people for a few kilograms of smelly meat.
When He Xiao went out, Zhao Song immediately put his hand on the car...
[Ding, wood has been detected, do you want to collect it? 】
Needless to say... [Collection]
[Collection completed, obtained wood*80]
For such a full car, only 80 units are given.
Although the cars of this era are small, they can still carry about a hundred kilograms of wood, especially the longer wood, which is heavier...
[Ding, the collection is completed, and you have obtained stone*120]
Not bad, the unit for stone materials is quite generous.
"Although it is less, the subsequent wood will be sent and the stones will be enough to build the town hall. Now only the gold is left."
One gold bar gives 200 units of gold, but one gold bar has ten silver ingots. After collecting each silver ingot, you will be given 15 gold, and some will give you 18 gold.
No matter how you look at it, it is a bit of a loss. The smelting technology in this era is still poor, and the purity is not guaranteed. The best way is to exchange it for gold. Even if the purity is lower, the gold unit given is higher than that of silver.
Jewelry is even worse. A top-quality luminous pearl is only given 500 gold. You must know that if this luminous pearl is exchanged for gold, it can be given a thousand gold.
Fortunately, jewelry can also be collected, which gives Zhao Song more ways to go. Otherwise, if it is just gold and silver, even if he gives himself all the gold and silver of the Song Dynasty, he may not have much. After all, most of the gold and silver of the Song Dynasty are used. Come to pay tribute to the barbarians from all over the world.

Except for stone, the rest is not enough, and once we get to Donghai Island, we will probably need more to build other buildings.
The most important thing is that people consume food every day, and the food they have is probably far from enough!
Buying a lot of grain at one time will definitely cause problems, but there is no problem in buying some moldy grain to feed livestock. Whether it is the government or a wealthy family, moldy grain has always been handled poorly, especially for merchants returning from overseas, and the goods on the ship There are quite a few moldy ones.
"When Uncle He comes back, we have to ask him to buy more moldy food!"
After going to the street to have a quick bite, Li Song waited for He Xiao to come back.
Until evening, He Xiao came to the courtyard with dozens of carriages, followed by some civilians and craftsmen.
He Xiao stared blankly at the empty wooden cart in the yard. Why were the wood and stones missing?
"Young Master, those stones and wood..."
"I hired people to transport it away. After all, we have to build a ship and a house. You ask them to unload the things and put them in the yard first, tear down the walls, and don't worry about the rest."
"Okay~Okay...I'll make arrangements right now."
He Xiao was full of doubts. How could he transport so much stone and wood? He didn't see any oxcarts or carriages coming here...
However, the young master still arranged for them to be transported away, so there would be no problem in thinking. He Xiao didn't think much and arranged for these farmers to work.
Although He Xiao bought some moldy rice and stinky meat as ordered, it only weighed more than thirty kilograms. Zhao Song had to ask He Xiao to go out to buy rice again, specifically to buy moldy rice.
Zhao Song himself kept collecting stones and wood in the courtyard.

The only thing missing is gold, but I don’t know if the jewelry on my body will be targeted in Leizhou City.
Zhao Song bravely came to the pawn shop and pawned a jade pendant.
"Guest, this pendant is a good thing in the Central Plains. It can be exchanged for 700 taels at least. But in Leizhou, you also know..."
"Then how much do you think we can give?"
"Five hundred taels, if you are willing, I have cash right here."
"This... Zhao Song doesn't know the prices of these things, he is just pretending to be hesitant."
"Guest, this is your first time coming to our store. I have a loss of five hundred and fifty taels. If you don't want to, there is nothing I can do."
"City, five hundred and fifty taels is five hundred and fifty taels, but can it be exchanged for gold?"
"Can't you do it with money?"
"I've sold my entire family fortune and am going to make a living elsewhere. It's not good to have too much money. It's easy to hide gold."
"That's all, just give me gold as you wish."
