Chapter 98: The Usefulness of Forage (Ask for Collection, Recommendation)
Beautiful eyes are like water, and red lips are like love!
Helplessly, the physical overdraft was so serious that he had more than enough strength to do so, and the uncomfortable Lord Zhang finally couldn't resist the invasion of sleepiness and fell asleep in the expectation of the beauty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When you wake up, the whole world changes color.
"Young master, the price of rice in Chang'an has tripled yesterday, and I estimate that it will rise according to this posture, and I will not be able to stop until the end of autumn!" Lao Zhong stood at the gate of the courtyard with the account book, and reported to Zhang Yi who was washing up one sentence after another: "Our family is fortunate to have started early and collected more than 7,300 stone of grain, do you think we want to collect some more?" Even if you can't finish it, you can sell it! ”
Not to mention, Lao Zhong, the housekeeper, is absolutely competent, and it is not simple to think of a way to make money by buying low and high at this time, as long as the operation is done properly, two or three times the price should not be a problem.
"Do you think it's appropriate for us to do it now?" Spit out the mouthwash in his mouth, Zhang Yi asked.
"Not suitable?" Lao Zhong was a little puzzled.
Even the old lady who came over to see her grandson stood beside her with a cane and looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously.
In their opinion, now is the best time, and if they miss the current wave, I am afraid that the price of food will be at least 30% higher in the future. Don't look at one or two catties of grain, two or three percent is not much, but what about a hundred stones, a thousand stones, and ten thousand stones? The extra price is enough to buy a few percent more grain!
Once the time of famine comes, grain will undoubtedly be more expensive, at that time it is simply priceless, and a lot of copper money does not flow to the family's treasury?
"Grandma, old clock!" Zhang Yi smiled, took the linen cloth handkerchief handed over by Yunren and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Now I will definitely make money by going to the market to collect grain, I don't have to say!" But don't forget who we are! ”
"Yes, our family is noble, and our family doesn't do this business!" As soon as she heard the word identity, the old lady immediately exuded a noble temperament, gritted her teeth, and said with a nail in the iron: "Old Zhong, you have to be careful about this kind of thing in the future, don't hurt the face of our Viscount Mansion for the sake of two copper coins!" ”
Since integrating into the circle of noblewomen in Jingyang County, the old lady has attached great importance to the status of the noble. There are many gatherings, and they are very serious about some things that are paid attention to among the nobles, such as merchants and the like, and they are especially paying attention to now. Some time ago, Zhang Yi was very strange that the old lady used to often pull fiber for herself, and the most impressive businessman's daughter hadn't mentioned it for a long time, and later learned that the old lady was disgusted with other people's backgrounds and was afraid that she would not be worthy of herself.
In the beautiful fantasy of his love, Zhang Yi felt that the aristocratic spirit of the old lady needed strong support, of course, it would be better if he was not so petty.
Seeing the old lady's serious appearance, Lao Zhong could only nod his head and say yes.
In fact, he also attaches great importance to the identity of the noble housekeeper now, but seeing the money slipping out from under his nose, Lao Zhong felt a little painful.
You must know that the current Viscount Mansion has a large group of people for nothing, all of them are big-bellied men, eating and taking...... As soon as he thought of this, the tangled color on Lao Zhong's face became even more intense.
"Old Zhong, the old lady is right, our family is noble, and the business affairs are naturally not tainted! Not only is it not contaminated, but it is also necessary to put aside the relationship! Not to mention that in order to stabilize the people's hearts, the imperial court will definitely open a warehouse immediately to suppress grain prices, and will issue some documents such as restricting purchases, even if we want to buy it, it is probably too late at this time. Zhang Yi said to Lao Zhong with a serious face: "Besides, this is a national disaster, let's not make this black money!" ”
Hearing this, Lao Zhong felt ashamed, no wonder the young master can be a lord at a young age, this ideological consciousness is high! I almost gave a thumbs up and praised it immediately.
But before the two of them could digest Zhang Yi's meaning, they heard Zhang Yi say again: "But as a nobleman, I don't think the imperial court can stop us from doing good deeds, right?" Lao Zhong, you immediately go and inform Lao Liu that from today onwards, all the people in Zhuangzi will go out to collect forage, and it must be that kind of tender tip. Those children who went to school also brought some to help keep accounts, and the collected forage was pulled back and cut into half an inch long and dried and put into sacks! Ay! I hope those people have the money to sell the forage and buy more food! ”
The old lady is very satisfied with her grandson's approach, and she can pay for the forage of the people, this is the heart of the Bodhisattva! Forage is worthless, at least certainly not for now. It grows everywhere in the mountains, and as long as you are willing to contribute, it will not be a problem to gather a stone of forage in two or three days. And a stone of forage can be exchanged for fifty yuan, such a good thing is simply pie in the sky!
But Lao Zhong didn't think so.
How could his own young master make a loss-making transaction? Don't look at the young master's appearance of worrying about the people, that's just a show, if you want to say that there is no fame in this forage, he won't believe it at all.
It's just that.... Thinking about it, Lao Zhong can't even think of any clue, even if this forage is collected and eaten..... It's not worth fifty dollars!
When the news reached Zhuangzi, Zhang Yi was regarded as a real good person, a real nobleman with a refugee heart, but.... Sir, you can't spend money like this, can you? Don't you see that Zhuang Humen only drinks gruel for dinner now? In order to save some food!
For this matter, the third uncle personally knocked on the door of the Viscount's Mansion and found Zhang Yi.
"Sir, I heard that you want to collect forage?" As soon as he saw Zhang Yi, the third uncle hurriedly asked, "This can't be done!" The people on our own village can beat a lot of forage every day, what if you collect the forage on our village from other families? ”
Originally, I thought that the third uncle came over because he had collected too much forage and was afraid that he would not be able to put it down, but he was afraid that he would lose his income from the farmer on his own Zhuangzi who had received other families.
In fact, it is also very easy to understand, they all say that they help their relatives or not.... This phrase is all nonsense! At least in the hearts of the vast majority of people, there is a little bias, such as bias towards their relatives, friends, or people they are familiar with. As the old man of Zhangjiazhuang, the third uncle felt that Zhang Yi should think more about the villager, after all, everyone is his own person!
"Third uncle, I also want to let all the households in the village go to fodder, but there are too few people in our village, not enough!" Zhang Yi asked the servant to bring a stool, and saw the third uncle sit down with the help of the servant before saying: "I won't hide it from you until now, according to the current situation, this year's locust plague is inevitable, you also said last time, even grass can save lives!"
But I'm going to cut the fat grass into half an inch long, grind the grain into flour, throw it into a pot and cook it, and if I put some dried fish powder in it, can you sell it for a penny? ”
PS: I drank too much today, my head is a little floating, I don't know if the next chapter can be written, if it's late, I'll make it up tomorrow!
