Yan Yu originally wanted to ride a donkey, but her master felt sorry for her and refused, so she had to squeeze in a small carriage with her master and father.
The donkey was tied to the cart and ran along with her, not very fast, much slower than when she came.
It was so shaky that Yan Yu originally loved to feel sleepy. However, the carriage had poor shock absorption and was bumpy along the way. However, the more he sat on it, the more energetic he became.
In the car, the master told the reason why he went to Fucheng.
"...haven't you seen it all when we go to the countryside to collect grain? What's more, the grain tax in the prefectural city is put into the treasury. The extra grain collected is not on the account and will be disposed of privately." Mr. Tian talked about this matter.
The tone is very calm.
"Puffing your own pockets?" Yan Laoer asked.
Mr. Tian said calmly: "Guanzhou is quite a good place. It only grows one season of grain a year. It has a small population and a lot of wasteland. The annual grain tax collected can only be used for limited purposes. It is far worse than other big cities.
But do you still remember that I once told you that if you don’t compete for first place this year, there are ways to make Fucheng spend less money?"
Yan Laoer: "Remember."
That day in the barn, facing a barn full of grain, the teacher's happy look was still before my eyes.
"Because we are reselling it privately, the price will definitely be lowered by the grain merchants. Weishi originally wanted to buy it at a slightly higher price, so that he can buy grain below the market price and take the opportunity to prevent the other party from making it difficult for him to hand over the grain.
Father and daughter Yan Laoer and Yan Yu are both quick to settle accounts.
The groom negotiated with the officials guarding the city. Mr. Tian opened the curtain and nodded to the people inspecting outside. The latter immediately let him go when they saw the official robes.
Let’s not talk about the rights and wrongs of those people who secretly sell food. From the perspective of the transaction itself, it is a win-win situation and everyone is happy.
"This is the fifty taels your father left with me. You can bring it to your father. If your master can't get the money, let him take care of it himself."
The grain production of the three border towns of Huju, Longxing and Fengming is far less than that of Gufeng and Changping. If we follow this method, we will spend less money, and for them, we will raise the price of grain and make more profits."
It's an iron nail mold.
Mr. Tian entered the city and first found an inn to stay.
"Well done, thank you for your hard work."
Mr. Tian was still in the mood to joke and joke at this time: "Look at what you have to do with this official robe as a master. You can see it from the front, but there is a big hole in the back."
Another advantage is that once the food is in the hands of Huju, with Master Tian's style, if the people are short of food, it is very likely that they will pay evenly or even lose money.
When approaching Dashiqiao, Yan Yu rode a donkey home first.
The group finally arrived at Yongning City.
"I don't deserve to hear the word "you" from Mrs. Yan. I hope the village will take care of you. You should do your best. You should try your best." Old Man Kang smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face blossomed.
Yan Laoer was extremely embarrassed and argued: "The situation was critical at that time. I didn't expect this."
Yan Yu caught up with the carriage and did not get back into the carriage. He kept following him outside.
Huju could save some money when paying for food, and bought the food at a low price.
Mr. Tian shook his head: "Guanzhou is a fiefdom of the King of England, but as a teacher, you are first an official appointed by the court, and then a subordinate of the King of England. Therefore, you must first go to the government office to see the governor."
Mr. Tian laughed and said, "I don't blame you as a teacher."
He took Yan Laoer with him, not only to teach him his lessons, but also these rules of conduct.
"Since there is excess food in the city, and I am short of food, I can just buy it." This is the inspiration that Mr. Tian got from Yan Laoer.
Yan Laoer asked: "Teacher, why don't we go to the palace to see you first?"
Doing things is more about results.
When Mr. Tian saw that the child really didn't want to sit in the car, he gave up and only told her to wrap herself up to avoid the cold wind.
I understood it instantly.
"Huju's barn was taken away this year, and everyone in Guanzhou knows that if they don't sell it, I will expose their business to the prince to see who is shameless!" Mr. Tian said fiercely.
"Have it?"
…
"I'm here for official business. I put business first and then private affairs." Mr. Tian said briefly.
"Ms. Yan Er." Seeing her coming, Old Man Kang was surprised and came forward with the things in his hand.
Although those people were reduced from Huju Shao, the unit price of food had gone up.
He has never been a pedantic person.
Yan Laoer: "Teacher, can I go? They must be very careful about such a secret thing. What if they don't sell it to me?"
Yan Laoer is really convinced, is he so formalistic? He obviously has a home, but he can't go back? He just spent money wasted by staying in an inn, ugh!
When he returned to the room, his daughter was holding the window open and looking down.
…
"No, the vendors are closing down their stalls and all the shops are boarded up."
"Now the government treasury is not empty, but it is almost the same. But after thinking about it for the teacher, we still have to buy this food. During this trip to Fucheng, you and I will work separately to find ways to raise money for the teacher. You and them
After contacting one or two, it would be best if you can get it at the original price. If not, it is acceptable to add less." Master Tian said.
After settling down, he said to him: "It's getting late today. I'll go to the government office first tomorrow morning, and then go to the palace. This will take a long time. Please pay more attention when you go to the government office to see if you can strike up a conversation with someone."
"
Yan Yu closed the window in disappointment.
It is much better than being in the hands of grain merchants.
The Qi family's yard is always busy.
"The old man has made the changes, Mrs. Yan, do you think she can use them?"
"Teacher, why do we have to stay in the inn?" Yan Laoer actually wanted to ask, why don't we go home? Didn't it mean that his wife is in Fucheng?
"I will buy you a new one from now on." Yan Laoer added.
"No need, I'm just in good shape." Mr. Tian smiled meaningfully: "No matter who you are, with just one look, you will know that your teacher is a great master, and you can't do anything fake."
Li Xuemei's eyes shone with joy.
Seeing her daughter hesitantly taking the money and riding her donkey out of the hospital, Li Xuemei looked away from the window, added some clothes to herself, picked up the land deed, and walked slowly towards Qi's house.
He is a capable old man.
"You will ask the waiter to prepare hot water for the master to take a bath later." Mr. Tian was afraid that the disciple would not know what was going on, so he explained: "When you meet the superior official and pay homage to the prince, you need to look good. You will go back to the room to wash up later.
"
He turned his back to let Yan Laoer see.
"What are you looking at?"
"I want to see if there is a night market or something like that."
While listening to the other person's explanation of the benefits, compare them one by one in detail.
Li Xuemei understood the reason, thought about it, and gave fifty taels to her daughter.
This kind of transaction must be supported by both parties. Although he is a stranger, he came here with the teacher, so he probably can't hide it. If others find out, he may not dare to sell it.
Tell her mother that she will definitely not be able to come back tonight when she goes to Fucheng with her master and father, and it will be hard to tell even tomorrow night.
"Are you hungry? Let the store get some food first so we can fill our stomachs." Yan Laoer said.
Yan Yu nodded and asked him: "Dad, why do you want to stay in an inn? It's so wasteful. You might as well stay at our house. Get up early and come here. You won't delay anything and save money."
Yan Laoer said what Mr. Tian just said.
Yan Yu tasted it again and again, frowning and saying, "Why does it feel like Master is scheming?"
The first update today, the second update will be late. If I feel sleepy later, I will fall asleep. I should be able to update before noon tomorrow~(#^.^#)~
