Gu Lan raised his eyebrows, looked over, and saw a little old man with a stooped figure entering the grain farm with several entourages in official uniforms.

When he noticed his gaze, the little old man wrinkled the wrinkles on his face, squeezed out a full smile, and hurried over a few steps at a time.

"Master Dou?" Gu Lan smiled slightly and said, "You are not on duty at the Yamen, how come you have time to come here?"

Langzhou City is very big. The Yamen is in the west of the city and Gu's Mansion is in the east. It is definitely impossible to go here for a stroll.

Dou Fugong cupped his hands and said truthfully: "Gu Gongzi's grain store has opened, how can I not be supported by the lower officials? I came here as soon as I heard about it."

In fact, after this guy signed up that day, he sent a small yamen officer to the east of the city to keep an eye on him.

Although you can't enter Gu's house, you can still find out about Gu's grain farm.

After Dou Fu explained, he turned to look at the annoying women and said coldly: "You talkative women, do you recognize me?"

"Lord Dou, a commoner woman recognizes..."

Knowing that the little old man in front of them was the governor of Langzhou, they were silent for a while!

I never expected that a small grain farm owner would have such a relationship with Fu Yin that he could make Fu Yin come rushing to support him!

"As long as you recognize it, you are disturbing Mr. Gu's rest here, and you are blocking the door and hindering the grain farm's business. This is called disturbing the order of the market, and I will punish you..."

Dou Fu's saliva flew everywhere.

"Forget it, Lord Dou."

Gu Lan watched him reprimand him for a while, fearing that the little old man would drag these women to the entrance of the vegetable market in a hurry just to please him.

Although the aunts are a little unreasonable, they are not guilty enough.

"Since you don't want to buy food, then leave."

After the words fell, several women were at a loss and looked at Dou Fu timidly.

Dou Fu glared: "Look at what I am doing, Mr. Gu even said to let you go, why don't you leave quickly!?"

"Thank you for your forgiveness, sir, and thank you for your forgiveness, Mr. Gu!"

Only then did the women realize who had the final say here, they bowed and nodded, and walked away in a hurry with small steps.

I was afraid that if I said one more word, I would be taken to the Yamen for questioning.

After today, I believe that the news that Gu's Grain Store is related to the Yamen will soon spread in the city, and there will be no more short-sighted people to stir up trouble.

And with official guarantees like Langzhou Prefecture, more people will buy grain.

It saved me unnecessary trouble... Gu Lan felt more pleased with this fawning old man.

Seeing that the matter here was settled properly, Dou Fu turned around, and after a moment of pondering, he began to express his intention: "Mr. Gu, in fact, I came here today because of this grain matter..."

The secret order from Secretary Xuan Tian just arrived this morning, giving him full responsibility for the grain sales at Gu's Grain House.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to come in such a timely manner to support...

No matter how big or small your official rank is, you are really afraid of Xuan Tiansi!

"Look for Lao Yang, I don't care about the accounts." Gu Lan pointed in the direction of the crowd in the village, thinking he was going to buy grain seeds: "But each person is limited to two taels, and you are no exception."

Dou Fu was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "No, no, sir, I misunderstood. I don't want to buy grain, but I want to help your grain farm transport it out..."

"Isn't that a matter of the escort agency?"

Gu Lan said doubtfully.

In order to expand their business, grain farms will hire escort agencies to transport grain seeds to other states and counties. This is a well-known rule.

"That's right, so you don't have to spend money, sir. Langzhou Yamen will help you transport it."

Dou Fu nodded and raised his eyebrows funny.

"You help me transport food, use your own strength...and you don't need any money?" Gu Lan stared at him.

"Not only does it cost no money, our Langzhou government also provides money to support your grain farm business!" Dou Fu said simply and neatly.

The people around were looking over in surprise at this moment. They didn’t expect that the county magistrate, who had no money to spare, would one day take the initiative to fund people’s businesses!

"Help me transport food for free... Is that why you came to me today?"

Gu Lan's eyes flickered and he asked slowly.

After getting Dou Fu's affirmative reply.

Gu Lan became more and more aware that there were definitely officials in the court helping him, otherwise it would be impossible for Dou Fu, a low-ranking sixth-grade official, to take the initiative to pay!

Besides, there is also the matter of being named in the police report last time.

Fortunately, this person has been helping me and is not an enemy from the capital... Gu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and did not pursue the matter further.

Although it is uncomfortable for someone to notice him, as long as he is a friend and not an enemy, there is no need to take the risk of finding out who it is.

After all, high officials are only mortals.

He won't threaten me, only cheating will...

"I know, you go back now. In three days, I will ask Lao Yang to package the grain and send it to the Yamen." Gu Lan said softly.

"You don't need to trouble the young master's people." Dou Fu pointed to the government servant next to him: "The young master will give you a message when the time comes, and we will go to the house to pick it up in person."

"Okay." Gu Lan agreed.

Serve tea as a farewell to guests.

Dou Fu walked to the door, then turned around. He seemed to have remembered something and whispered: "By the way, Mr. Gu, there is one more thing I want to remind you. Since this grain farm is a business, there will be competition."

Opponent, because your grain varieties are very good, I'm afraid there will be some other grain dealers who are not open-minded..."

Are his colleagues jealous and secretly causing trouble... Gu Lan smiled lightly and directly passed the responsibility of maintenance to this little old man: "This matter will trouble you, the county magistrate. This three-acre land in Langzhou, and

A businessman who doesn’t listen to you?”

"There really is..."

Dou Fu smiled bitterly and said: "Some businessmen are hard to talk to... Anyway, sir, please be careful. If you have any trouble, come to me at the Yamen and I will try my best to help you solve it."

"good."

Gu Lan nodded in agreement and smiled brightly.

...

In the dusk, the three of them returned home in a carriage.

Although Lao Yangtou and Liu Yexi were very tired after a busy day, they were still quite happy as they were counting the accounts.

The income is not much, just the monthly turnover of the tea house.

Just knowing that this grain will save the lives of many suffering people makes the hard work worthwhile.

Got out of the car.

Liu Yexi looked at the lights in the mansion and saw that Gu Lan was also looking, and said with a teasing smile: "Lao Yang and I went to cook. The young master has been out for the day, so he must be in a hurry to see his wife!"

Not being in front of the empress, and not having to abide by the etiquette of a monarch and ministers, her girlish temperament became much more lively.

Lao Yang nodded vigorously.

Gu Lan laughed freely and admitted: "You better understand me, sir, as the ancients said, when you see a beautiful woman, you will never forget it. If you don't see her for a day, you will miss her like crazy... Isn't it human nature to miss your wife?"

Gu Lan strode towards the study room.

In front of the window, the shadow of the beautiful woman is shining through the window lattice with candlelight, graceful and graceful.

Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being a young master. He can speak such pretentious love words so refinedly. No wonder he and his wife are inseparable every day...

Behind him, Liu Yexi and Lao Yangtou stopped and looked up, with goosebumps all over their bodies.

...

Gu Lan entered the study room.

Seeing Mu Yuyan holding a book, she was looking at it with great concentration.

She held her fragrant cheeks in her jade arms, her phoenix eyes shone like stars, and her green jade fingers turned the pages of the book from time to time, she was quiet and beautiful.

Gu Lan quietly approached and found that she was not reading her favorite storybook, but was reading the agricultural classic "Essentials for Elevating the People" that she had just written a few chapters for!

"Madam, are you still interested in this kind of book?"
Chapter completed!
