She thought her cousin just wanted to talk to her about it, not really to ask her for advice. She thought for a while and sighed: "It's true that there is no fairness under power. This kind of thing is too wide-ranging, and I still advise my cousin not to interfere. If you intervene and are known by the superiors, not to mention implicating my family, you yourself can't say that there will be a mistake. ”

"Yes, there is no fairness in power. You're absolutely right! …… Belch...... Do you just want to tell your grandfather about this? ”

"Go tell me about it, and see what grandfather has to say. I think you might as well suggest that Gru and them take someone out of their own state capital and go to another state capital to buy food. Since this is the case with their tribe, it should be the case with the other tribes.

Several tribes selected a group of people who could speak well and were proficient in Chinese, and joined forces to go to other places to buy grain and tea. If necessary, let them all wear Han clothes and trade with outsiders. In this way, outsiders can't see that they are tribal people, so naturally they won't have any bad thoughts about them.

Because outsiders are not familiar with their situation and do not know that they are tribal herdsmen, they will not exclude xenophobia and maliciously raise prices and conduct unequal transactions with them. In this way, they will buy more grain and tea, and the price of tea and grain will naturally be cheaper. ”

She was not familiar with the specific conditions of the local tribes, but she knew that the people of the tribes here must be closed, and they had never walked out of the stone forest, and then went to other places in Datai. So in her opinion, this method should work.

Han Jin also thinks this method is good. He said: "Then my cousin's family and I will not be involved in this matter." I'm going to tell Brother Gru about this idea secretly. ”

But in the end, he still told Li Jimin about it. After Li Jimin found out, he said that this method would not work.

He said: "Whether the tribal herdsmen can get out of the stone forest or not, after all, they can't get out of the local area. Besides, even if they can go out to buy food in other places, they will definitely not be able to hide their movements from others when they come back, and the people above will definitely know about it. It doesn't work! If this method is used, the grain and tea will arrive in the local area, and the people above will not be able to leave the door, and find an excuse to seize it, and then it will be a matter again. I don't know how many generals of the military camp who made a high-price exchange with the tribal herdsmen? Or are the entire border generals of the Stone Forest involved? ”

After standing up and pacing square steps, after walking back and forth in the house for a few times, Li Jimin said solemnly: "For so many years, don't the officials of the entire state capital know about the matter of exchanging high prices with herdsmen? I'm afraid they were also involved, otherwise this matter would have been reported to the capital a long time ago.

This matter involves a wide range of issues, and if you want to manage this matter, it will not be done overnight. I'll discuss it with the prince. You two don't have to think about it anymore. And also...... The herdsman boy who found him would be regarded as unfamiliar with each other in the future, and he could no longer deal with each other. You two have rotten this matter in your hearts, so you should not know it. ”

Thinking of her grandfather's words, she felt uneasy. I thought that I could live a self-reliant farming life here, and get rid of the chaos of the imperial court, but I was unconsciously stirred in.

Everything was troubled, and since she couldn't sleep, Li Yao got up.

Li Pei kept pretending to be sick and slept too much. When Li Yao got up, she also woke up. She glanced at Li Yao listlessly, rolled over and continued to close her eyes and sleep.

glanced at Sister Shu, who turned over and fell asleep, Li Yao ignored it. She said to herself: I can't find any evidence that you are pretending to be sick, but now I have time to clean you up. Since you are pretending to be sick, let you pretend to be enough, and see if you can pretend in the future!

With this in mind, she got out of bed, went to the door, took the wooden plate, and walked out of the house lightly.

When she had finished washing, and everyone had not woken up, she took out what had been stranded and did it.

She boiled hot water, and carried a sack of wool from the shelf of the livestock shed, which weighed nearly forty pounds, and cost two hundred copper plates. She was going to make yarn. This sack of wool was picked up for her by Noble from the herdsmen a few days ago.

Last evening they bought the fat girl's fur, and the fur of the family was too expensive. For this reason, this prompted her to get the yarn out quickly. She thought to herself: Even if you wear two layers of sweater in winter, it is cheaper than wearing clothes made of fur.

Even if she won't let herself suffer, she will buy herself a full range of warm clothes, but how can she let go of this business opportunity in front of her. No one is disgusted with a lot of money.

In the fur of the fat aunt's family, the rabbit skin is half a tael of silver, the fox skin is three taels, and the wolf skin is eight taels. Li Yao inquired about these prices clearly, and they would not let the fat aunt suffer.

The old lady of her family came forward and bought the old man a wolf skin and four rabbit skins. said that it was to use these to make a deep winter coat and an early winter horse coat for the old man, which cost ten taels of silver.

In the eyes of the old lady, men are more valuable than women. So then she bought her son Li Mingqing a fox skin shirt with rabbit skin sleeves, and spent eight taels of silver. Li Yi and Li Mingqing.

Li Da is young and small, and he makes rabbit fur coats and spends three taels of silver.

So the man spent twenty-one taels to make clothes.

Then there are the female dependents. There are a total of eight female dependents, but Mrs. Li thought about it and secretly made a decision: "I and the Han family will each buy a rabbit fur coat here." The others don't need it, they all give me the cat winter at home. In the future, let the family go out to collect firewood quickly, so that there is no need to go out in winter, as long as you stay in the house or on the kang bed. As for her granddaughter who can make money, she doesn't have to worry about it herself. ”

In this way, the old lady did not say how to buy the clothes of the female dependents in the family. It is only said that the female dependents still need eight taels of silver rabbit skin.

When he bought the sheep first, Li Yao had less than ten taels of silver left in his hand. She didn't have enough money to sell the skins. Therefore, the old lady privately asked Han Jin to borrow silver.

How much there is, how much to spend, but Mrs. Li doesn't care about these at all, she uses Li Yao and Han Jin as ATMs.

Li Yao sighed helplessly. She said: "At first, the people from the dart bureau escorted the things and said that they wanted to return to Jizhou with their cousin, but my cousin wanted to stay and help my family plant the land, and he also wanted to make some money and go back." If there is no cousin, if there is no leather clothes, will my grandmother not plan to spend the winter? How do people survive the winter in those homes that have no leather clothes? It's not that she doesn't buy clothes for the family, it's just that she can't tolerate Mrs. Li using her and her cousin as ATMs.

The old lady ignored her and said, "I'll talk to Jin'er, don't interject!" ”

Li Mingqing was still sorting out the paperwork with his son at this time, the room was not big, and the sound insulation effect was not good, and Mrs. Li was talking to Han Jin and Li Yao in the room next to him, so he could naturally hear the movement. So he asked his son to call a few people next door to come over and ask what had happened. (To be continued.) )
