What does this imply?
Gu Shiba pondered for a while but couldn't figure it out. He could only look at his clever Sixteen Brother.
Sixteen Brother asked him this question, so he must know something.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shiliu said, "If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it. You'll understand in the future. The lady won't let us lose money. Good brother, I'll give you a heads-up, the Marquis said if the lady's pepper can't be sold, the Marquis will find a way to transport it to the Northern Border for sale. We just wait to count the silver."
Gu Shiba immediately said, "Right, right, wait to count the silver. I'll do whatever the Marquis and the lady instruct me to do."
Not long after, word spread in the Capital City that a big merchant found a large amount of pepper overseas and was on their way back. Upon hearing this, other big merchants planned to send out another batch of ships to bring back more pepper.
