"It's a matter of ordering cloth again," An Luo wrote in red pen on the contract and stretched out his finger after the delivery was settled. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.
Huang Dong hurriedly handed over the silver ticket, "Isn't it only you who can save me now, I really can't help it, you look at my beard, it's only been three days, and I've lost a lot of money, as long as the shopkeeper Tong agrees to help, how about I share a part of the shopkeeper Tong in the overseas market in the future?"
"Hehe" An Luo laughed, "Huang shopkeeper, it's not that I don't want to help you, to tell you the truth, you are too unauthentic, pretending to be our shopkeeper, this is a crime, now we don't pursue this matter, you have already burned high incense, and pointed to us to cooperate with you to send you a word, it's impossible"
"This business is all about silver, can't I pay for it?"
"No, some things are not just money, our shopkeeper in order to open a cloth village in Nanzhou City, hovering there for half a month, as a result, the high price did not buy a storefront, do you say that you have money
By the way, when it comes to this, you probably don't know the reason for this incident, but it was done by someone who has a relationship with you
Your sister's family thinks that their private salt is related to our shopkeeper, so they will rectify us, so that we can't buy a shop even if we have money, let alone rent a shop.
You said that you fell into our hands for such a big matter, and we didn't clean you up, but we just didn't cooperate with you, which is merciful enough.
If you put up a stall like us, go back and burn high incense, if this matter falls on someone like the Lin family, you will wait to die.
Again, cooperation is no longer possible, if you don't want us to add fuel to the fire, don't bother us, think about how to deal with your merchants."
After An Luo finished speaking, he ignored him and went back to set up the storefront. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.
Tong Xiaowu and his family took a day's official boat before they arrived in Sichuan County, this invitation was very sudden, the two of them were not prepared at all, this matter started two days ago.
This afternoon, Tong Xiaowu had just finished finishing the affairs of the store when she received a letter of worship, which turned out to be sent by Mrs. Sichuan County.
At that time, Tong Xiaowu invited people to her place of residence, and later the county guard's wife explained her intentions, and she learned that it was the Sichuan County Keeper who invited them to come over as guests, and the main purpose was to discuss cotton planting.
Mrs. County Shou came to invite in person, and also used the official boat of the official family, Tong Xiaowu was not easy to refuse, so she and Feng Yuchen followed Mrs. County to Sichuan County.
Sichuan County is the nearest county near Nanzhou, the terrain is flat, there are few mountains and rivers, the rain is abundant, and after Sichuan County and then west is Yuedong County, Linyue County.
To the east, the waterway for one day and one night is Baiqi County, and there are many more rivers and mountains on this side of Baiqi County, and Sichuan County is flat and is a large agricultural county.
Although there is a lot of arable land and the natural conditions are good, but along the way, listening to the words of the wife of the county keeper of Sichuan County, the crops of Sichuan County were not harvested in the autumn of last year, and because of this incident, the tax revenue of Sichuan County was less than half of that of previous years.
Moreover, in some places, there is a phenomenon of planting land on a slope and collecting grain for half a car
It is now the end of February, and many farmers have finished spring planting, but there are still many places that have not been cultivated.
The reason why Zhang Junshou invited Tong Xiaowu and his family over was only one reason, he heard that they had opened a new cloth village in Baiqi County, and there were more and more orders, and he hoped that if they were considering the cooperation of cotton farmers, they would think of Sichuan County.
Last year, it received a pound of money from Xijiang, and even at this price, it is more suitable than planting corn and other crops.
Therefore, Zhang Junshou asked his wife to invite the two of them over, because he wanted them to give an idea to the people of their county, to see if they could also get a rural cooperative here, and whether they could also grow cotton, as long as Tong Xiaowu signed a purchase contract, the harvest of their county would not be a problem at that time.
After all, cotton is also needed by Yuebaili Cloth Village.
But I don't know what's going on, the news that Feng Yuchen and Tong Xiaowu were invited to Sichuan County spread to Linyue County.
Zhang Jun Shouzheng was discussing farming with Tong Xiaowu, and Lord Lin Yue County and the county magistrates of the three counties all came to Sichuan County.
Lord Yu and a group of them hula-la-la entered the Sichuan County to guard the yamen.
As soon as he entered the court, Lord Yu shouted: "Zhang Junshou, it's not very reasonable for you to do this, how can you use official coercion to suppress people?"
Zhang Junshou heard some about Yu Bin, the county guard of Linyue County, who was close to the imperial examination the year before last, became a county guard at a young age, and was an upright official and a smooth person.
After Pang Junshou was beheaded last year, he took over the work of Lin Yue County, and his relationship with Tong Xiaowu was also good.
"Haha, it's a joke, what are you ours, Shopkeeper Tong is worried about the country and the people, if there is a way out for the people of Sichuan County, the people of Sichuan County will never forget her."
"I can't forget what's the use of your Sichuan County and it's not our Nanzhou, we can't take care of ourselves, Shopkeeper Tong, let's go back to Linyue County, today I brought the county orders of the three counties to personally invite you, if you want to expand the cotton planting area, we will definitely cooperate."
The cotton in the eleven villages of Baili Town has long been used up, and now the production of the whole year depends on the cotton from the western Xinjiang collected from various cloth merchants, and if the production of Yuebaili cloth continues next year, a large amount of cotton will naturally be needed.
Tong Xiaowu hadn't thought about this before, she was patronizing and thinking about cosmetics and cloth villages, and she forgot about spring planting, seeing that March is the season for planting cotton, she should really think about the demand for cotton next year.
"Yes, yes, I am from Yuedong County, the soil of our county is fertile, as long as the shopkeeper Tong says a word, our Yuedong County is willing to plant cotton instead, as long as the shopkeeper Tong signs a recycling agreement with us"
"I'm from Yuexi County, and we're willing"
"I do, too"
For a while, in this court, the people of Lin Yue County stood up in unison, and Yu County Shou nodded happily, is this right
They must protect the God of Wealth like Tong Xiaowu, if they are robbed by other states, they will have to earn less.
From last winter to this year, in five months, Lin Yue County's taxes for Tong Xiaowu's household alone have more than tripled, and a few days ago, the capital also issued a general document, praising Lin Yue County for being good for adults, and if this continues, his official position can rise to a level without waiting for three years of political review.
Thinking of Qi Hengyuan in Rongshui County, it was because of Tong Xiaowu's help that he jumped three levels and was promoted to the prefect of Buzhou, this kind of opportunity really made him envious.
