Zhao Mo came to Qinzhuang today to give Qin Bai's family a New Year's gift. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Although he lived in this house until a few days ago, the courtesy should not be discarded. Zhao Mo insisted on finishing what he had to do.

At the same time, the homework he had done in the prince's mansion should also be brought to Qin Bai to see. Although Ah Shou can help send his homework back, after Qin Bai has seen his homework, his guidance on learning is not something that Ah Shou can convey clearly. Zhao Mo naturally wanted to run in person.

Qin Bai was very pleased with Zhao Mo's studiousness, praised him greatly, and took him as an example by the way, and beat Qin Jian a few words. Qin Jian has been greedy again recently, and he has been playing with his clan brothers and distant cousins in the village. The people around him couldn't persuade him, so Qin Bai, the third uncle ancestor, naturally had to speak. Qin Jian shrank his neck and obediently listened to the training, but secretly made a grimace at Zhao Mo in private. Who told Zhao Mo to be the child of someone else's family and set him off as a scumbag? He naturally had to complain.

Zhao Mo lowered his head and smiled, he didn't care at all. Now that he was in the right mood, Qin Jian made a few grimaces, but he also entertained him.

Qinzhuang is still dozens of miles away from Jinling City, Zhao Mo can't stay in the six-room ancestral house for too long, he has eaten oil tea, talked to Qin Bai, and had a light meal, so it's almost time to leave. The prince had told him to go back before the gates closed at dark.

While Qin Hanzhen was waiting for lunch, he quietly went to the second gate and called Li Zi over again, and asked him: "You have followed your uncle to inspect our family's industry in Jiangnan, I remember that there is a tea garden among them, how is the tea garden now?

Li Zi is not very good at business management, but he is good at inquiring about news and summarizing information. He said: "Girl, in the past the emperor gave the lord of the property, there is a big Zhuangzi, which is with a tea mountain. When the family was separated, they got some industries in Hangzhou, and there were tea gardens in them. However, the place is not large, that is, two or three hundred acres of land, and there is not much tea produced every year. In the past, when the family was not separated, the best tea in the tea garden did not exceed 100 catties every year, and all of them were sent to the Hou Mansion in the capital, which was not enough for the owners of the long house and the second room to eat for a year, let alone give it away. I heard that under the name of the long house, there is also a tea garden, which is not far from the tea garden of our three rooms. The area is bigger, and the tea is better, and there are two or three famous varieties. ”

Qin Hanzhen is not difficult to understand this. I also want to know that it is also a tea garden, how could the long house deliberately give the good ones to Qin Bai, but keep the inferior ones to himself? Compared with the income from the second room, the long house is also kind to the third room. This probably has something to do with the fact that the longhouse now needs to rely on its grandfather.

But...... Every year, no more than 100 catties of tea are sent to the Chengenhou Mansion in the capital, and it is not enough for the people in the long and second rooms to eat? Isn't this consumption a bit exaggerated? Not to mention that there are other tea gardens that produce it. Qin Hanzhen felt that there was probably a lot of water in it.

But that's not the point.

Qin Hanzhen asked Li Zi again: "The tea garden in our third room can't produce that little tea in a year, right? You said that the best 100 catties used to be for the Hou Mansion in the capital, so isn't it the best one? Is it for the family, or is it sold on the spot?"

Li Zi thought for a while: "The tea that the family drinks is not the tea produced in their own tea garden, so it has to be transported from the south of the Yangtze River in a time-consuming and laborious way, which is too cost-effective." My uncle said that the tea was purchased from the capital by the stewards, and as for where the tea was, it was not clear, so naturally it could not be compared with the tea from our own tea garden. As for the inferior tea in the tea garden, except for the few people who left the tea garden for their own use, the rest were sold directly in Hangzhou. I heard from the steward of the tea plantation that they have cooperated with the tea shop for many years, but the price is not high. My uncle also went to inquire about this matter, and the tea shop was opened by the brother-in-law of the tea garden steward, who often dragged on and refused to settle the accounts, but it was just nepotism. My uncle has already spoken out and is no longer selling tea to their family. It's only been a while and a half, and I can't find a pin yet. ”

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly asked: "I still can't find a sales office?" So, has there been any tea produced this year that has been sold?" After the New Year, within a few months, the new tea leaves are in the harvest season again. There is still tea that has not been sold?!

Li Zi said: "The tea garden can also produce three or four thousand catties of tea a year, the best one hundred catties are sent to the capital, and the inferior three or five hundred catties are not worried about sales, and the rest are all road goods." In the past, the Hou Mansion in the capital did not pay much attention to these tea gardens, except for what they ate, and the others were sold by the stewards, and it was not up to the stewards to decide how much to sell and how to sell them? In the tea garden in Hangzhou, because of the selfishness of the steward, all the tea leaves were handed over to his brother-in-law's shop. When my uncle arrived at the place to check the accounts, he cut off their road, and all the tea that had not been sold was saved. He paused, "I heard that there are thousands of pounds." ”

Qin Hanzhen took a deep breath: "Then did your uncle say that what are you going to do with this thousand catties of tea?"

Li Zi replied: "Uncle has a lot of things to take care of now, and it is the busiest time to take stock of accounts in the new year, and there are many people on the other side of the tea garden, so I am afraid that I can't take care of it for the time being." However, the tea mountain of Yuci is very well run, and the steward there is a capable person, and he has been in Jiangnan for many years, and he has a wide range of people. My uncle mentioned that he planned to invite the steward to have a drink during the New Year, and asked him to help dispose of the thousand catties of tea. Even if it is sold cheaply, as long as it can be repaid, it is better than accumulating it into old tea and occupying the place in the warehouse. In a few months, when the new tea comes down, there will not even be enough place to store it. ”

Qin Hanzhen knew it in his heart, so he said to him: "Go back to your uncle and tell him that Cousin Zhao's steward seems to be collecting tea recently." They may have planned to transport a batch of tea from Jiangnan to Datong to sell. If the quality of our tea is good, ask them if they want it. Anyway, it's going to be sold cheaply, and it's better to sell it to strangers cheaper. ”

Li Zi's eyes lit up: "Really, girl, I'll go tell my uncle right away!"

Li Zi's movements were quite fast, and by the time Zhao Mo was about to leave, Ah Shou had already received the letter and told Zhao Mo. Zhao Mo glanced at Qin Hanzhen, who came to see him off, in surprise, and asked her in a low voice: "He Xin said that he wanted to sell me a batch of good tea at a low price, which was ordered by my cousin?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "He has to deal with the backlog of tea at a cheap price, if the quality of the tea is okay, you can simply forget about it." Besides, if I plan to participate in my cousin's industry, why should I do my best, I can't wait for dividends in vain, right? ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "Thank you, cousin." You don't have to sell it cheaply, I will ask them to give He Xin a suitable price. ”

Qin Hanzhen said: "Cousin doesn't have to treat them too preferentially. If everything goes well, this should not be a one-shot deal, it can be a long-term cooperation, and in terms of price, everyone must be happy. ”

Zhao Mo thought about it, and then he didn't get entangled: "Okay, I know what to do." He thanked Qin Hanzhen again, said goodbye to everyone, and went back to the city in a good mood.

Probably because of the good news, Zhao Mo rode a horse more cheerfully than usual. When I entered the city gate, it was still early in the evening, and the sky around me was quite bright.

Zhao Mo looked at the sky, and said to Ah Shou: "It's still early, I remember the plum blossom cake I bought last time, my uncle likes to eat it very much, why don't you go to that pastry shop and buy some and go home?" Ah Shou naturally had nothing to do, so he accompanied him to the pastry shop.

After buying the plum blossom cake, Zhao Mo saw all kinds of silk silk, wind, paper-cutting, purses and other items sold on the first few small stalls, thinking that he would always give a reward to the people below during the New Year, and he didn't know if Qingdai had prepared a red envelope over there, if not, it would be good to buy a few lotus wrapped gold and silver bills. Living outside the home naturally can't be as particular as at home.

Because he was afraid that the plum blossom cake would not taste good if it was cold, Zhao Mo sent Ah Shou back first. He saw from a distance the people who followed the governor's yamen behind him, and he did not worry about his own safety. Although Ah Shou hesitated a little and looked behind him, he still led the horse away.

Zhao Mo didn't have a horse, so he walked slowly along the small stalls one by one, occasionally buying two small things, and after a while, his hands were full. He didn't have any retinue with him today, and he couldn't find someone to help him get his things, so he planned to stop there and come back another day.

Who knew that he had only walked a few steps, and he saw Dr. Tang enter a shop from a distance, and after a closer look, it turned out that he had already walked to the medical hall opened by Dr. Ye in Jinling City. Presumably it was Imperial Doctor Tang who brought the medicine for the prince, right?

Zhao Mo smiled, thinking that he could be regarded as having found a companion of his peers. Dr. Tang Taiyi went out to buy medicine before the New Year, so he must have bought a few more packs in case the medical hall was closed during the Chinese New Year. There is a lot of medicine, and he will definitely have to drive it. If I came up to say hello earlier, I might be able to rub the car and save the effort of walking.

Zhao Mo approached the door of the medical hall, and before he could call Doctor Tang, he saw two people standing sneakily by the door of the medical hall, probing their brains inside, they seemed to be staring at Doctor Tang, and they were talking to each other.

Zhao Mo couldn't help frowning, who are these two people?

Imperial Doctor Tang turned his back to the two of them, and didn't seem to notice it, and occasionally turned around, and the two of them also took a few steps back to avoid it, not letting him see it. When Imperial Doctor Tang took the medicine, went out and got into the car, and left with the guards who were driving, the two separated, one entered the medical hall, and the other got into the car. Now it was a time when there were many people in the streets, and the carriage was not moving fast, but the man slowly followed, and even followed.

Zhao Mo hesitated for a moment, then chose the former. He walked to the door and stood where the two men had been standing, keeping an eye on the situation in the infirmary. I saw the man standing in front of the counter, arrogantly tapping his finger on the counter a few times, signaling the man to approach, and then asked generously: "Who is that bearded man just now? What kind of medicine did he take?"

The guy hesitated: "This guest, why is this asking this? Our medical hall has a rule, and we can't reveal any patient's information to irrelevant people." ”

"Bold!" the man glared at the guy fiercely, "Shangyuan County Ya is handling the case, you still dare to push back? ! Could it be that you are an accomplice of the prisoner?!"

The guy was startled, and Zhao Mo outside the door was also startled. Shangyuan County Ya handled the case, how did he find out about Doctor Tang's head?
