Since she has come all the way over, of course Mrs. Su will not come and go as fast as the angry Second Master Xu. Because the two gentlemen of Ke Fang and Master Li Qi Liang had not yet returned, after a simple lunch, she first picked up Ye Xiaopang, followed Wang Fulin and Wang Wujing, and went to Songyuan to pay a visit. This time, it was not the old aunt and grandmother He Wei who came out to meet the guests, but Wang Daokun's stepwife Wu. After the conversation, whether it was the blessing that Mrs. Su had a daughter and two sons, or the courage to leave her young son to her mother-in-law and come over to follow her husband as soon as she finished sitting down, the Wu family was envious and admired, and even invited her daughter Zhenniang to come out to meet her.

For such a shy girl, Mrs. Su directly took off a jade bracelet in her hand as a meeting gift, and finally returned to Wang Fulin's house that was much cramped and narrow compared to Songyuan. At this time, Master Li and the others had already returned, and Mrs. Su met them one by one, whether it was greeting or thanking, the words she said were never the same, and Wang Fulin was amazed by the side.

When she heard that Wang Fulin got up early and took the others and Ye Xiaopang to the Wu's orchard in Xixi South, she couldn't help but smile and knocked on her son's head: "When you were in Ningbo Mansion, you liked to go out for a walk, and it's still like this!" It seems that I came unfortunate today, so that the family prepared a little bit in vain, so let's do it, there is still some time, send a post over, if it is convenient, I will go to pay a visit, and I should thank others for their hospitality. ”

Second Master Xu came and went quickly, and Mrs. Su had been thinking about it for a long time, when Wu Shouzhun got the news from his subordinates, and was hesitating how to report it to his uncle, Mrs. Su's post came after him. I learned that Mrs. Su was coming. He didn't hesitate any longer. Immediately went over to discuss it with my uncle in person. Then he invited his aunt and his wife to prepare to entertain the guests, and he personally went to Songming Mountain to greet him to show warmth and respect.

So, when Mrs. Su walked down this circle, she found that it was too late to leave for the city, so she could only have dinner in Pine Garden at the invitation of Wang Wujing, who was young and old, and then stayed there for the night.

This night. Many people didn't sleep well, especially Wang Fulin. Xiao Xiucai was thinking about whether Second Master Xu came over today, whether it was really for the so-called marriage, and on the other hand, he was thinking about whether Mrs. Su's words should be listened to positively or in reverse, and on the other hand, he was thinking about why Mrs. Su even brought Xiaobei in her words. Tossing and turning and unable to sleep, he simply put on his clothes and got out of bed, and when he came to the bedside, he was thoughtful, and then he simply gently pushed the branch window open. The old windows creaked, and Jinbao and Qiufeng, who were crowded with him in the two east wings because the room was tight, slept lightly. Then he woke up.

Because there were not enough beds, both of them made bunks on the floor. Listening to the sound of pacing at this time, Qiu Feng saw that Jinbao's eyes had opened, so he asked in a low voice, "Jinbao, who do you want to be your mother?" ”

Jinbao was dumbfounded for a while, and then he said in a voice lower than a mosquito, "I don't know ......."

Qiu Feng was thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the Ye family and the Xu family in his heart, but in the end, he touched his chin and muttered: "Miss Ye is powerful and smart, and Miss Xu Jiajiu is kind and easy to speak, it's really difficult to choose......"

Even in the early morning of the next day, that is, when she left for the city on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. Su never asked the second master Xu about his intentions. As for Ye Mingzhao's eldest son, she just encouraged her to stay in Songmingshan and study hard, and then set off. And Wang Fulin found that Xiaobei did not ride a horse this time, but was pulled into a four-person sedan chair by Mrs. Su.

For this uninvited Mrs. Ye Xianzun, Wang Fulin's evaluation is only four words - wind and fire - no matter what words and deeds, Mrs. Su interprets this very well. Of course, this one generously paid him a salary, which undoubtedly won his heart, at least, his treatment was the same as that of Master Li, who taught three students before, and he was not considered a day job.

After the small episode, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 ushered in, and every family in Songming Mountain Village celebrated the festival. Fortunately, the sky is beautiful, a round of bright moon in the sky at night, the bright silver glow sprinkles on the earth, the people who admire the moon linger, and there are many villagers who talk about the opening of the sickle tomorrow to cut the rice into the harvest season, this year it is rare to have the wind and rain smooth, how much harvest can be achieved in an acre of land.

After Mrs. Su and Second Master Xu came to send the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, Wang Fulin's retreat career officially came to an end. The people in the city came one after another, first Liu Hui, the household secretary, personally went to Songming Mountain to report that the grain districts in She County had support and rebound for the new policies of each li, and then mentioned that Ye Xianzun was going to summon all the rotating lieutenant chiefs recently, and asked him to go back at that time. Followed by Master Feng, the county school teacher, who came to visit the students, greatly praised Wang Fulin's hard work, but what he took out was the second volume of the new book of Du Li, and he planned to ask Wang Xiaoxiu to take a look at it, and then send it back to the county to make mistakes.

As for the last to come, it was Cheng Naixuan. The proud son of Cheng now no longer has to carry the heavy burden of his fierce fiancée, and his business is booming again, not to mention his radiant appearance. Because his family has too many people now, Ke Fang and the two of them are staring closely, Wang Fulin only wants to stay away from under people's noses, so he can't help but salivate and ask for a leave, and simply pull Cheng Naixuan out of the house, and go directly to the bridge across the Fengle River and connecting Xixinan and Songming Mountain to talk.

Looking from both sides of the bridge, you can see the golden rice fields on both sides of the river, as well as the villagers who are hurrying to harvest in the fields. Cheng Naixuan was born in a big family in the city, and it was the first time he had seen such a fiery scene, so he watched the excitement for a while before he remembered the serious matter.

"Shuangmu, it's good for you, burn the fire, and you don't care about it, don't you know, these days Zhuchuan Wang's is called a mess. That old lady Wang was born in poverty, and in the early years, he followed his stepfather to change his surname to Cheng, and only changed his original surname to his original surname for the imperial examination, and returned to his own family, so he naturally did not have a good face for those relatives of his family who were not good to his mother at the beginning. And after he Tengda, the relatives on his stepfather's side rose up, the Cheng family and the Wang family had a lot of filth, and there were many people who joined him as servants. ”

Speaking of which. Cheng Naixuan smiled happily: "You didn't see it." Wang Youmin opened the store opposite our Lin Muxuan. The appearance of the cold court recently. That day, he also wanted to find fault in our store, but it happened that someone in the yamen came to him, saying that there was something to testify to him, looking for him, the eldest grandson of the third old lady of the Wang family, and the county Xuexiu went to the yamen to testify! Hey, you didn't see such an interesting scene! ”

"I've been seeing enough for a long time, so I'm hiding back in my hometown." Wang Fulin shrugged. Only then did I ask about Lin Muxuan's business, and learned that Zhuangyuanguo was full of business because of the previous publicity, but whenever there were people who read at home, they would always buy some to go back to get lucky, and even the walnuts on the street that no longer used red paper, but were wrapped in ordinary paper, were also selling very well. Although a lot of money was given out for nothing before, the happy money that can be rewarded, plus the customers who have skyrocketed several times compared to usual, have accumulated a surplus of more than 200 taels of silver these days!

Talking about the surplus here. Cheng Naixuan suddenly changed his words and said: "But the righteous shop can't go on like this." You see, you have already harvested rice in Songming Mountain and Xixinan. When the time comes, rice will continue to enter the market, and I think the cost will be tight. Even if a lot of large households were pulled to donate money to buy shares, the total share capital was more than 3,000, but fortunately, the villagers redeemed a lot of them in the scene a few days ago. But even so, Ye Qinglong also told me that the money on the books was only about fifteen or six hundred taels, and the warehouse where the grain was stored was in an emergency. What are you going to do next? ”

Wang Fulin did not answer this question immediately, but pointed to the rice fields on both sides of the strait and said: "You see, our six counties in Huizhou have few land and many people, and there is never enough food to eat, no matter whether it is a good year or a disaster year. The grain price in Huizhou is not completely in the hands of grain merchants. If there is more grain from outside, the price of grain will fall, and if there is less grain from outside, the price of grain will rise. In the final analysis, when it is time to collect grain, the reason for lowering the price of grain is also because the warehouses of each rice store are limited. As for the price, local merchants have no say when the local warehouse is empty, and foreign traders have no say when the local warehouse is full. can only cheat each other and see who is deceived. ”

Cheng Naixuan nodded thoughtfully, but only listened to Wang Fulin continue: "Therefore, farmers rely on the sky to eat, in fact, grain merchants also rely on the sky to eat, and when hoarding goods, look at luck and gamble to judge, if you hoard a large amount of money this year, next year will be the year of grain shortage, and it is not surprising that you can sell rice for one hundred and fifty wen, which is several times the profit." But if you are unlucky and you have hoarded a large sum of money, and next year will be a good year and food prices will plummet, then you will lose all your money. As for the people, they have no choice, how much to sell, how much to buy, all depend on the price on the signboard. ”

"I know all this, but what does this have to do with our lack of capital?"

"Of course it does."

Wang Fulin smiled slightly, and suddenly took out a seal from his arms and handed it over. Cheng Naixuan took it in his hand, looked left and right for a while, and finally asked in wonder: "The pattern is very complicated and delicate...... Hey, don't sell it, what the hell is it for? ”

"Rice coupons." Wang Fulin spit out three words lightly, and seeing Cheng Naixuan's eyes widen suddenly, he explained, "For ordinary villagers, even if they have one, two, two, or three taels of savings, what they think of will never be chickens laying eggs and laying chickens, because they can't find a way to make money, so they will save it by themselves and accumulate a lot." With the reputation of Yidian today, if a notice is issued, the store will issue rice coupons with a face value of one tael, and the issuance time will be six months. After issuance, you can come to our store at any time with a rice coupon to receive one and a half stone of white rice, or after the expiration of six months, you can come to our store with a coupon to redeem the principal of one tael, plus interest and one penny of silver. What do you think is the attitude of everyone? ”

Cheng Naixuan took a deep breath and suddenly understood Wang Fulin's intentions. The previous repeated tossing and turning was for the sake of Liwei Lixin, to make people believe in the credibility of the Yidian, and every qiē was to prepare for the current rice coupons. He suddenly looked at the seal in Wang Fulin's hand, and said with understanding: "This seal is used for anti-counterfeiting when issuing rice coupons?" ”

"Yes, in addition to this, we also need to find someone to study and study, such as using secret language to make secret deposits, and it is best to buy a reliable paper mill and use more special paper. Now is the harvest season, and the rice sold by the rice store is about one tael of silver and two stone of rice, and it will definitely rise in six months. Well, the six-month redemption period for the first instalment is too long. Simply pay it in a month, pay the interest of one and a half cents of silver at that time, and issue about 200 pieces in the first phase to test the water, if they can be sold, then return the funds of two hundred taels of silver. And a month later, the payment is made on time, and the reputation is really done, and we can fine-tune it according to the shape. The next six-month rice coupon will be issued, when the rice harvest is abundant and the capital is needed, and when the rice shortage is needed after six months, no matter whether the person holding the rice coupon chooses to support rice or silver, they will earn. ”

Seeing that Cheng Naixuan had already begun to calculate with his fingers, Wang Fulin continued: "I also know that there is money on the market for profit, with a monthly interest of three cents at the least, and a monthly interest rate of five cents or even one percent, and it is a usury with rolling interest. But the villagers' savings of one or two taels of silver can't be put out by themselves, and it is impossible for those money shops that exchange huàn silver coins to be willing to put such small money for them to make profits. And to say something unpleasant, everyone is afraid of being cheated by those stores, but the righteous store is different. ”

Although it has only been a few days since the Yidian was born, it has a good reputation! Of course Cheng Naixuan understood this subtext. For a while, his worries about financial pressure before he came disappeared all at once.

"Shuangmu, what a brilliant idea! However, you don't want to continue to laze in this Songming Mountain. If you don't come back, I'll have to find someone to tie you back!" ”

ps: Take a long sigh of relief, the five chapters are over, and the odds are nearly 17,000, and I almost didn't do anything else today except eat! The last three hours of the month, ask for the encouragement of the monthly pass, thank you! (To be continued......) R1292
