The moon falls in the middle of the month, and the sky is fragrant and the clouds float outward. August is a good time to enjoy the laurel and the moon. However, on this autumn night when the bright moon is fragrant with golden cinnamon, Cai Ji, who is the chief guard of a county, did not taste cinnamon wine and appreciate the bright moon like many romantic gentlemen in this era, but sat alone in front of the desk frowning and thinking. In fact, since Cai Ji became the Taishou, I don't know how many moonlit nights have been sitting alone like this. Therefore, Donglai Dao Xiao Cai Fujun is a prodigy in the world, but he doesn't know that Cai Ji has put a lot of effort into the exquisite deployment of those behind his back.

It's just that today, in the face of the piles of account books around him, Cai Ji didn't have a clue in his heart after thinking about it for a while. The point is, at this moment, she really can't think of which way to deal with these accounts. First of all, Cai Ji can't do a direct audit like Guan Tong. Because she has no talent under her command who can settle accounts. Although the children in the martial arts hall are also learning arithmetic now, they have only been in class for more than two months, and some of the younger students can't even count the addition and subtraction of more than ten students. According to Cai Ji's judgment, it will take at least a year to teach these children how to count and add and subtract. And recruiting outsiders to settle accounts, I don't know the details and it is difficult to entrust the heavy responsibility. Second, in this era when reading books is basically copied, it is really not easy to suddenly recruit people who can read and count. The second is to use these account books to win people's hearts. But after such a fuss during the day, Guan Tong is now completely on the same page with Huang Zhen, and either side she helps may offend the other. Therefore, this matter is also undesirable for Cai Ji, who is bent on asking for the same and reserving differences.

"It seems to have moved back a bunch of chicken ribs." Cai Ji tapped the tiger's mouth with a folding fan in his hand and muttered to himself. But that doesn't mean she's discouraged. Because Cai Ji has always believed that in this world, "there are only waste people, no waste", everything has its value of storage and utilization, and the key lies in whether people can use their brains and change their thinking. Since it's about changing your thinking, it's not a good thing to sit like this all the time. Thinking of this, Cai Ji immediately decided to go out of the study for a walk, and by the way, activate his brain.

The courtyard in the middle of the night is silent, and the gentle night breeze is mixed with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus from time to time. But just as Cai Ji was strolling in the corridor, he suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound in the direction of the lotus pond in the Taishou Mansion. Cai Ji, who is a man in two lives, naturally does not fear the theory of ghosts and gods. Therefore, hearing someone crying at this moment aroused her curiosity.

saw Cai Ji follow the sound, and soon found the source of the sound. It was a skinny toddler who was sitting on a rockery by the lotus pond for some reason, bowing his head and sobbing. And in the entire Taishou Mansion, there is really no place for such children except for the martial arts hall. Therefore, whether it was as a taishou, or as a martial arts teacher, or just as an ordinary passerby, Cai Ji felt the need to talk to this young child.

So Cai Ji immediately coughed lightly and stepped forward to ask who was crying? ”

When the young boy heard someone behind him ask, he couldn't help but jump off the rockery in shock. And as soon as she turned around, she saw that the person who came was actually Fujun, and she was even more stunned on the spot. However, at this time, Cai Ji's expression was not much better than that of this young child. Because by the moonlight, she saw clearly that the young child with pear blossoms and rain in front of her was Ling Hujiu, who had always been quite strong in the eyes of everyone.

"Ah Jiu? Why are you weeping here? Cai Ji blurted out.

And when Ling Hu Jiu heard Cai Ji ask this, his mouth was deflated and he was about to sobble again. Seeing this situation, thinking of the previous report from Lily of the Valley, Cai Ji immediately pulled up Ling Hujiu's sleeve and led her to sit side by side on the rockery. Then he asked again, "But you quarreled with your grandfather?" ”

Facing Cai Ji's question, Ling Hujiu first looked up at her, then lowered his head and nodded. Cai Ji saw that he was really crying about that incident, so he softly persuaded the stupid girl, what is there to be angry with her grandfather. ”

Who knew that Linghu Jiu suddenly turned red, raised his face, and said Ah Jiu didn't want to. Ah Jiu doesn't want to marry a fisherman! ”

"Huh? Get married? Faced with such a surprising answer, Cai Ji's eyes widened and he didn't know what to say for a while. You must know that at the beginning, she only thought that Linghu Jiu was abducted by Guan Cheng to come to the Taishou Mansion, but she never thought that she would even pull out the matter of getting married. However, seeing that Ling Hujiu was not even ten years old, and that the minors among these minors had also encountered the problem of talking about marriage, Cai Ji was speechless, so he had to ask Ling Hujiu carefully, "You are not yet ten years old, how can you get married?" ”

Azu said that only when her daughter's family marries can there be a way out. So I picked a fisherman's family for Ah Jiu, saying that I would marry and live for a few years first, and then I would wait for the marriage...... Roundhouse. When Ling Hu Jiu said this, his little face was already red with shame, and his voice was even thinner than the sound of a mosquito.

But Cai Ji has the consciousness of being a "man" at this time, so she casually responded, oh, that is a child daughter-in-law. ”

Linghu Jiu was originally very interested in talking to Fujun about such private affairs in the boudoir, but when Cai Ji said this, he still couldn't bear the child's temperament, and asked curiously What is a child daughter-in-law? ”

"It's a young daughter like you who is raised by her mother-in-law's family, and she will not officially get married until she reaches adulthood." Cai Ji explained casually. Although she couldn't judge whether the marriage that Ling Hu Yong was looking for for her granddaughter was appropriate. But Ling Hu Jiu's age is too young, and she doesn't want to. So after weighing the pros and cons, Cai Ji finally made a decision and said, "Since you don't want to marry now, let's stay in the mansion first." ”

"Really? That's great! Ling Hu Jiu burst into tears and laughed.

"As a Taishou, I am naturally a man of my word." Cai Ji nodded in response, "But why did you come to Huangxian with Guan Cheng?" ”

"It's not that Ah Cheng na, I lied to me that I could come to Huang County to hide. But who would have thought that this guy wanted to ......" Ling Hujiu secretly glanced at Cai Ji, then clenched his small fist and said hatefully, "Anyway, in the end, I was still found by Azu." Azu only scolded me, not Ah Cheng. ”

Cai Ji listened to Ling Hu Jiu's explanation of wanting to speak and stopped, and he could guess the original appearance of the incident to some extent. It seems that the next time I run into Guan Cheng, I have to teach this guy a good lesson. However, Ling Hu Jiu was also too reckless, and now he happened to meet such a woman dressed as a man. If she is a Taishou who likes to pick yin and supplement yang, then she is really a sheep. Thinking of this, Cai Ji couldn't help but teach Linghu Jiu a lesson as an elder, "Ru Azu didn't scold either. Thou shalt not listen to the words of men, but this time thou shalt teach a lesson. However, since you are not willing to marry casually, you must study hard from today and learn etiquette from Lily of the Valley. Such a makeover can make Azu understand that his granddaughter is not an idle person. ”

Ling Hu Jiu was already quite high-spirited, and Cai Ji's last words were undoubtedly an encouragement to her. It's just that before Ling Hu Jiu could say yes, Cai Ji on the other side suddenly lowered his head and whispered to himself. That's right, just a makeover! ”

Ling Hu Jiu was obviously taken aback by Cai Ji's strange appearance, and couldn't help but ask timidly, "Lord, are you wrong?" ”

"Nope. I suddenly remembered something important. It's late at night, so you'd better go back to your room early and rest. Cai Ji raised his head and smiled apologetically at Ling Hu Jiu, and then Huo Ran got up and left the courtyard quickly.

In fact, Linghu Jiu didn't know that Cai Ji's lesson not only inspired her, but also provided Cai Ji with inspiration to deal with the account books. That's why she hurried back to the study so that she could record the thoughts that flashed through her head in time. As the saying goes, thinking is like a spring. In other words, when inspiration strikes suddenly, it is like a fountain that can't be stopped. Therefore, although Cai Ji was just recording his inspiration at the beginning, he wrote that his thoughts became clearer and clearer, so that he wrote freely to the east outside the window.

However, the next day, Cai Ji did not put into action the plan that he had worked so hard to plan overnight. Because to complete her plan, she must have a collaborator. And the collaborator set by Cai Ji is Duan Rong, who is now going to Sanhan to trade. Therefore, in the next few days, Cai Ji quietly continued to act as a peacemaker between Guan Tong and Huang Zhen, while quietly waiting for Duan Rong's return.

Fortunately, unlike the piracy of piracy, the destination and route of the merchant ships are fixed, so it can be roughly calculated that they come and go. No, at the beginning of September in the early years of Xingping, Duan Rong led two merchant ships back to Donglai County as scheduled.

"Yufujun, my subordinates have purchased a total of 10,000 stones of rice and miscellaneous grains this time." On the Longkou wharf, Duan Rong proudly pointed to the sergeant in front of him who was unloading grain from the ship.

"Ten thousand stones?! I didn't expect that there was a lot of surplus food in this Gaya. Cai Ji listened to the figures reported by Duan Rong, and he was also amazed. It must be known that the carrying capacity of sea ships in this era was generally about 4,000 to 6,000 stones. Duan Rong took two ships to the sea this time to transport 10,000 stone of grain, which can be said to be a full warehouse.

However, Duan Rong waved his hand and shook his head, just the country of Gayage, where is he willing to sell 10,000 stone of surplus grain to us at a time. The subordinates went to the two small countries of Benhan to buy grain by the way, so that the two ships were filled. ”

"I see, this time it's really hard Duan Cao Peng." Cai Ji thanked him.

"Fu Jun is polite. Ask his subordinate Bo Ming to do it. In fact, Sanhan has surplus grain, even if it refuses to sell it to us in large quantities, as long as it goes to a few more countries, it will naturally have a lot of gains. And this time the key is that there are too few ships, so Gu has to load 10,000 stones and return to Donglai first. Duan Rong was close to the Tao.

Cai Ji happened to be able to use Duan Rong, so he naturally changed his words, so wouldn't the price of food in Sanhan be lower than what we estimated in advance? ”

Duan Rong heard Cai Ji ask this, and his face slightly tanned by the sun couldn't help but show a smug smile. But seeing that he hugged his fist and replied, he did not hide it from the king, and his subordinates did not completely exchange the copper coins with the Gayajun country for grain this time. Instead, he picked out a part of the well-made five-baht coins and exchanged them with the Japanese for bronze utensils, and then rushed to Benhan to exchange bronze utensils for grain in the other two countries. Therefore, compared with simply exchanging money for food, you can exchange for more food. ”

Duan Rong's words are somewhat self-flattering, if he is replaced by some conservative Taishou, he will definitely feel that he is arrogant. But Cai Ji came from later generations and was used to seeing those with flamboyant personalities in later generations, so Duan Rong's actions were not inappropriate in her opinion. It should even be praised. Because if it weren't for Duan Rong being so prominent, how could Cai Ji have an in-depth understanding of the current market situation in Sanhan. No, hearing Duan Rong mention the Wa Kingdom, Cai Ji couldn't help but ask with interest? Birmin met the Japanese in the country of Gaya? ”

"Yes. In fact, the Gaya Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom, similar to Dongnae and Liaodong, are all across the sea and can be reached by boat. Therefore, there are many Japanese people in the country of Gaya who sell goods, and the Japanese usually exchange bronze and Gaya for iron tools. And the Japanese people are tattooed on their bodies, so they can be recognized at a glance. Duan Rong nodded and explained.

"You say that the Japanese sell bronze ware?" Cai Ji asked with a frown.

"Yes, the bronze ware of the Japanese people is of good quality. There is a large copper mine. Duan Rong thought about it and analyzed.

Where did the Japanese stop at a copper mine, and the whole girl was sitting on a mountain of silver and copper. Cai Ji sighed secretly in his heart. However, both of these are coveted resources. But when I thought of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, the money shortage was solved because of Japanese red copper. Thinking that he was now relying on copper money to buy grain, wouldn't the Japanese be robbing business by doing so. Thinking of this, Cai Ji couldn't help muttering and said, "The Japanese people sell copperware, I'm afraid it will make our copper money cheap." ”

Duan Rong is a businessman, how he doesn't understand Cai Ji's worries. However, at this moment, he smiled disapprovingly and said that Fu Jun was too worried. There were not many bronze artifacts produced by the Japanese people, so it was impossible for Samhan to rely on these bronze artifacts to make money. Of course, copper is worth more than copper money, and that is understandable. It's just that the bronze ware of the Japanese people is not very good, but they are full of praise for the five baht coins of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the subordinates were able to buy the bronze artifacts of the lower Japanese people at a price lower than the market price and sell them to the Samhan people. ”

Buying at a low price and selling at a high price is Duan Rong's old business. Therefore, Cai Ji did not ask too much about the specific matters of the transaction at this time. In her opinion, the current Donglai foreign trade fleet was actually contracted to Duan Rong. And as a Taishou, he only needs to set a target for Duan Rong every time he sails. As for how much benefit Duan Rong can make after completing the target, it depends on his ability. And when she came here today, she actually had another more important matter to discuss with Duan Rong.

No, facing the salty smell of the sea breeze, Cai Ji suddenly changed the topic, "Bo Ming, do you know why this mansion came to see you in person today?" ”

"Fu Jun wants to count the grain and grass himself." Duan Rong blurted out.

"That's one of them. But the key is that you can't get into the study of this mansion now. Cai Ji glanced back at Duan Rong and smiled meaningfully.

"Fujun, why is this?" Duan Rong opened his mouth in surprise.

And Cai Ji put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice towards the rippling blue sea, "The account books of the county government are now locked in the study of this mansion. ”
