Chen Yuanheng nodded and said, "I still have one more thing in mind." Bai Shi also got up in his clothes and asked, "What's the matter?" Chen Yuanheng said: "I thought about what happened in the past six months, and I found that our hatchery, our restaurant, ready-to-wear shop, soybean oil factory, and even my loan plan are all under Wen Huiti. It can be seen that our daughter is precocious. ”

Hearing this, Bai's face smiled, like a blooming peony flower: "Of course, Hui'er is very smart and learns things quickly, I am far inferior to her when I am as old as her." Chen Yuanheng said: "Actually, my tax revenue this year is not good. Although this loan plan is in place, it will not be effective until next year, and this year it will be more difficult to collect because of the low valley price. I'm worried that if I don't pay as much as last year, it will affect my performance. I have been discussing with a few of my master's staff for a long time, but there is no good way, I want to ask Hui'er's opinion. ”

Bai Shi was taken aback: "Master, although Hui'er is smart, she is only six years old, and she is a girl, how can she know these things." Those staff members who have been running errands for years have no choice, what does she know as a girl? Chen Yuanheng said: "Actually, I just want to try." Anyway, it's just a vain question, what are you afraid of? Bai said: "Okay, the master thinks so, tomorrow I will call Hui'er to ask, but now it's very late, the master should go to sleep quickly." Chen Yuanheng smiled and hurriedly agreed to sleep.

The next day, Chen Yuanheng deliberately did not go to the yamen, but asked Chen Wenhui a question in Bai's upper room. Chen Wenhui was surprised that her father would ask her these questions, after all, she was only a six-year-old child now. But then I thought about it, my father must have no choice, and my father, who was a first-time official, must have wanted to do his job too much, so he rushed to the doctor.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui felt a little sorry for her father. He said, "Father, I haven't thought about it." Let me think about it. Chen Yuanheng was not in a hurry, and slowly drank tea and waited. Chen Wenhui thought to herself that it is inevitable that this situation will occur under the law of the market and economic leverage. The ancients didn't understand, but they also knew that grain hurt farmers. So how to solve it. The best way to do this is to have more buyers and discover new uses for food. Only in this way can the problem of surplus food be solved and prices will recover. But how to solve it.

Chen Wenhui took a sip of tea, glanced at the teacup, and suddenly had an idea. "Father, I have a small solution, but I can only solve a small problem." Chen Yuanheng said: "Oh, Hui'er thought about it so quickly, say it quickly, what is the way." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I heard Sister Yinhong say that the drinks used in our restaurant are all brewed in our house, right? Bai Shi on the side hurriedly said: "Yes, our restaurant is changed from the recipe in our house, and it is much more mellow than the wine sold on the market." This recipe is said to have been handed down from the previous dynasty. Our restaurant is in short supply every day, and Chen Qing and I have complained a few times. ”

After speaking, Bai suddenly realized: "Yes, why didn't I think of making wine." One of the main ingredients for sake brewing is rice, and now that the price of food is so low, I should buy a lot of it, so that the cost of wine will be lower, and the supply of wine will be guaranteed. ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled: "It turns out that the method is in our family, but how much can our family eat." Chen Wenhui said: "I think our family can take the opportunity to make a fortune. In fact, those big grain merchants are also taking advantage of the low absorption, but they don't dare to too much, because storing grain is a big problem, first of all, grain occupies space, and it requires a large granary, and secondly, grain is easy to spoil and cannot be stored for a long time. Also, now everyone does not know whether the price of grain will increase next year. After all, relying on the sky to eat, this is not accurate. ”

These words surprised Chen Yuanheng. It turns out that the youngest daughter sees the problem so thoroughly. Chen Wenhui continued: "But we don't have these problems. We can make grain into wine, which is more fragrant the older it gets, and the more expensive it is, and the longer it is stored, the better. And we have our own restaurant, so there is no problem in sales. ”

Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes, Hui'er is so right, wine is very easy to store, and we have a special method for storing wine in our house, but it doesn't cost anything to dig a cellar." And because of the old man's loan plan, half of the money has now gone to our hatchery, which is seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver. We can use this silver to buy a lot of grain and make wine. As for the monthly cost of the hatchery, it is easy, and you can make up for it with the profits of restaurants and ready-to-wear shops every month. In this way, it can be turned around, and the lord's taxes will be easier. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Well, this method is good, and our family has completed it." It just needs a lot of manpower, where is this manpower in our family to buy grain now? In addition, we buy grain to solve problems, and it would be meaningless if we were to collect all the grain from those big grain merchants. How can we ensure that all the surplus grain purchased from the farmers is purchased? Bai Shi didn't understand this question as soon as he heard it, and naturally looked at Chen Wenhui. Chen Wenhui said: "This is something that others can't do, but you can do it lightly, father." ”

Chen Yuanheng was surprised: "Why can I do it?" Chen Wenhui said: "Because my father has subordinate officials, tax officials, government officials, lizheng, and village officials, all of whom help collect taxes." Now the people only have food in their hands and no money, so my father's taxes cannot be completed. If my father had told them to hand over all the grain instead of the money, and then give us all the grain he had collected, the tax would have been completed, and the people would have been helped, and we would not have to collect the grain by ourselves. We just accept it with peace of mind, then make the wine, and pay for it. ”

Chen Yuanheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's really, hey, it's really easy to break Hui'er this little." I'll go to the front office and discuss with them what to do. After saying that, he quickly changed into his official uniform. Bai Shi and Qingshuang were busy waiting for him to change his official uniform. Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "Father, you must remember that when you collect grain, you can't collect it according to the current grain price, it should be higher than the current grain price, and it can be according to the normal year." In this way, we will not lose money, and we will be able to help the people. ”

Chen Yuanheng immediately understood: "Hui'er reminded me right, this is more conducive to my official reputation." "Huh?" Chen Wenhui was stunned, she didn't expect this. It can be seen that she is still not used to the official-oriented thinking of this society. However, it is also crooked, and it seems that I will have to pay more attention to this aspect in the future.

Chen Yuanheng walked quickly to the yamen, anxious about the staff and subordinate officials, and explained this method. Of course, I won't say that for the sake of the business of my family's restaurant, but that my wife decided to use her dowry to help the people because she saw that the people had a good harvest this year, and bought grain in large quantities, and bought it at a price higher than the market price. As soon as this method was said, a tide of flattery immediately came, and Mrs. Zanxian was benevolent and merciful. Then we started to discuss how to do it.

Now that the tax payment date is very close, these subordinate officials are also very anxious, and now there is a county magistrate's wife who has paid to help everyone get through the difficulties, and they all hurried down to collect food, for fear that the county magistrate's wife will change her mind. Therefore, this plan was implemented quickly, and a large amount of grain was harvested in a few days. Bai specially transferred Li Huan from the grange to help Chen Qing in the restaurant collect grain, and at the same time, he recruited many short-term workers, bought a piece of land in the west of the city, dug a wine cellar, made a winery, and immediately used grain to make wine.

The silver was let Wang Yihe get out of the silver that should be given to the farm, and 50,000 taels of grain were collected in about half a month, but in fact, the tax was only a gap of 30,000 taels of silver. Because when the people saw that the price of this grain was higher than the market price, they all took out the grain in their hands and sold it, in addition to paying taxes, they also exchanged it for their own family's money, so the people who were about to sell their children and daughters because of the low price of grain can now not only pay taxes, but also have surpluses.

The people who have money in their hands began to buy all kinds of necessities, for example, the family's clothes have not been bought for several years, and now they have money in their hands, they naturally hurry up to buy them, some people have not bought oil and salt for a long time because they have no money, and now they have bought it, and so on, Chen Yuanheng suddenly found that the commercial taxes in the past two months have increased, and he sent his staff to inspect it strangely. The staff investigated and found that when the people had more money to buy, the merchants naturally had better business and paid more taxes. When the staff told the situation, Chen Yuanheng's expression was very strange.

When Chen Yuanheng was no one at night, he said to Bai's: "Last time, Hui'er said that the money will roll more and more when it is put on the market, I don't think so, because there are so many things, how can it increase." Now that's really the case. Then he told Bai about the investigation of the staff. Bai Shi was also surprised: "I can't even figure out this truth, why would Hui'er know it at such a young age?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said sternly: "In ancient times, there were many precocious people, most of these people were great sages in their previous lives, and they will inevitably be precocious after reincarnation, and such people will leave their names in history." I didn't expect that our Hui'er was such a precocious person. It's just a pity, if only it were a boy, then, our Chen family will definitely be able to rise with it. is a girl like this, unless she enters the palace and becomes a generation of virtuous concubines and virtuous concubines, what is the use of ordinary people? In fact, if you want to say that Hui'er is good at a young age, she will definitely be like a lady when she grows up, she is a beauty, and besides, she is the daughter of our Chen family, and there is no problem in entering the palace. ”

Bai was originally very happy every time he heard Chen Yuanheng praise her beauty, but this time he couldn't be happy. Bai's face turned pale, and he resolutely said: "Master, I am blessed to be able to marry you in this life, since I came to the Chen family, I have never disobeyed the master, and now, for the first time, I don't agree with the master's idea, even if I die, I can't let my daughter enter the palace." ”

Thank you all for your referral votes, thank you, I will definitely continue to work hard.
