Xue Yi explained lightly, but Qian Qianqian felt that this was not true, if the people and merchants could reach a perfect balance, then Xiao Guo would definitely be much more stable.

Unconsciously, Qian Qianqian walked to the door of the hot pot restaurant, this is her shop, although she has not taken care of it, but she still looks at the accounts every month.

"Yo, Miss Qian, what kind of wind brought you here?"

Tong Qian was busy inside, and when he turned his head, he happened to see Qian Qianqian, so he immediately put down what he was doing and came out to greet him.

"I'm just going out for a walk, I just happened to pass by here, you continue to be busy with yours, don't worry about me."

Qian Qianqian's face did not change, and when she looked around, she found that there were very few customers in her hot pot restaurant, basically all of them were wealthy businessmen dressed in silk and satin, and there was not a single ordinary person in sight.

The man brought her tea, and they all withdrew, although she had no intention of drinking tea, but when she smelled it, she knew that it was a good cup of tea.

"Looks like business isn't going well in our store either."

Qian Qianqian smiled bitterly and said lightly, the business of the grain store is still like this, not to mention such a hot pot restaurant, hot pot is not a daily necessity for the people, so if they can not eat it, they will definitely try not to eat it.

"Now that there is a war, not only us, but also the shops in the capital are not doing well, no matter what industry it is."

Tong Qian bowed slightly, and explained unhurriedly, they are all businessmen, Qian Qianqian can naturally understand, but it doesn't matter whether the business in her store is good or not, the important thing is to make the shops in the capital lively.

"I know that you are a good hand at doing business, now the price of grain in the capital is very cheap, but still no one buys it, the people would rather go to the vegetable market to buy sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes than to buy rice, those grain shops are almost unbearable, do you have any way, let those grain shops tide over this difficulty?"

Qian Qianqian knew that Tong Qian was not an ordinary person, otherwise she would not have been favored by Xiao Mohan, since this was the case, she might as well ask Tong Qian.

"If you want to keep those grain stores, you must increase their profits, and there are only two ways to achieve this goal, either to raise the price of grain, or to increase the sales of grain, and it is unlikely that the price will be raised, so you can only help them export the grain."

Tong Qian pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke, Qian Qianqian's eyes lit up, and she also had some clues in her heart.

"You're right, it seems that General Xiao really didn't see the wrong person." A light smile appeared on Qian Qianqian's face, and she sincerely admired Tong Qian.

"The girl has won the prize, they are all businessmen, you must have thought of this, just gave me a chance to speak."

Tong Qian is a smart person, so naturally he doesn't dare to overshadow Qian Qianqian's limelight, so he is very humble.

"We are all businessmen, since we can think of this idea, can't the grain merchants in this capital think of it?"

Qian Qianqian thought of this, and couldn't help but be a little confused, this capital is in the middle of Xiao Kingdom, whether it is from the south to the north, from the west to the east, a lot of roads have been built, and it is not difficult to transport grain out for sale.

"Now that the capital is under martial law everywhere, and the people who go out of the city will be strictly investigated, who dares to transport so much grain out of the city? Besides, now that the Xiao Kingdom is in turmoil, there must be a lot of bandits outside, if the grain is robbed in the middle of the road, wouldn't it be a loss for the wife and the soldiers? If I were a grain merchant, I would not dare to take this risk. ”

Tong Qian analyzed it very thoroughly, it seems that he is very familiar with the situation near the capital, so it is indeed safer to put the grain in the capital than to transport it out.

"What if the government comes forward? Send officials to transport the grain of those grain merchants, and transport their grain to all parts of Xiao State, and the government will take 30% of the profits, do you think this is feasible? ”

Qian Qianqian thought about it for a while, her eyes turned a few times, a touch of cunning flashed in her eyes, and her eyes drooped slightly, blocking the emotions in her eyes.

"This is a good way, not only to allow the grain merchants to get benefits, but also to let the government have money to earn, but now that General Xiao is not in the capital, are you sure to move the government?"

Tong Qian nodded, but soon became confused, not everyone can be transferred, Qian Qianqian is not the general's wife, and those people may not give her this face.

"It's not a problem, it's up to me."

Qian Qianqian said categorically, the government will indeed not listen to her, but it will definitely listen to Shao Huaigu, she doesn't believe it, she can't order the government in the capital.

"That's good." Tong Qian also breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, this matter had been held in his heart for a long time, but he didn't dare to disturb Qian Qianqian, so he could only wait, but fortunately, he still waited in the end.

"You paid a lot of silver taels last month, and the business in this store is so sluggish, can you make so much silver?"

Qian Qianqian's words changed and mentioned this matter, she felt that something was not quite right when she looked at the account book, although the account book was perfect, but it was too perfect, so it always made her a little suspicious.

"Although the business in the store is not good, we control the costs well, so we can make a lot of money every month."

Tong Qian's face did not change, and he said very firmly, but Qian Qianqian felt that it was not true, the business was not good, no matter how well the cost was controlled, it was not a long-term solution at all.

"Just tell the truth, I'm also in business, you can't fool me, you tell the truth, I don't blame you."

Qian Qianqian smiled lightly, took a sip of the tea at hand, and her eyebrows were gentle.

Tong Qian lowered his head and looked a little hesitant, but after a while, he still looked up at Qian Qianqian.

"It was ordered by General Xiao, and he asked me to give you no less than three hundred taels of silver every month, and if this shop can't make so much profit, I will go to the money village in the east of the city to get the silver."

Qian Qianqian knew that this matter must have nothing to do with Xiao Mohan, Xiao Mohan didn't want her to be burdened by business, so he gave her enough silver every month, so that she didn't have to worry about anything.

"You don't have to do this in the future, the profit in the store can be as much as it should be, and it is naturally good to have more silver, but I still want my own silver, you can rest assured, I am used to the ups and downs of business, so I don't blame you."

Qian Qianqian's expression was calm, and every word was very calm, so Tong Qian had nothing to scruple about, and his face was much better.

"Then if General Xiao asks, you ......"

Tong Qian looked at Qian Qianqian cautiously, and stopped talking, but Qian Qianqian also understood the meaning of his words.

"When General Xiao asks, I will explain that this matter was decided by me, and it has nothing to do with you, and you have taken good care of the hot pot restaurant and pickle shop for me, and you have no fault."

Qian Qianqian can be regarded as giving Tong Qian a reassurance, so that Tong Qian does not have to worry about being punished.

"Thank you, girl."

Tong Qian gave Qian Qianqian a salute, Qian Qianqian didn't care, she was also selfish to help Tong Qian, she wanted to know the real situation of the hot pot restaurant and pickle shop, and she didn't want to live in the general's mansion all the time.

"I'm a little curious, how did you get taken a fancy to General Xiao? As far as I know, General Xiao doesn't seem to have much dealings with businessmen on weekdays. ”

Qian Qianqian thought about it carefully, and felt a little incredible, she knew Xiao Mohan, purely by chance, in the past few years, except for Mu Tianyue, she didn't see Xiao Mohan enthusiastic about any businessman, so Tong Qian was an accident.

"I used to follow Boss Mu in Lianzhou City, and later I was sent to the capital by Boss Mu to do business, and one day I was suddenly summoned by the official family of the General's Mansion and said that General Xiao wanted to hire me, so I took care of these two shops for you."

Tong Qian didn't hide it at all, in this way, it was obvious that it was Mu Tianyue who recommended Tong Qian to Xiao Mohan, and it seems that Mu Tianyue's subordinates are indeed capable of a lot.

"Boss Mu's vision is good, you are an excellent businessman, even if you don't take care of this shop for me, you can do a good job by doing business yourself."

Qian Qianqian raised her red lips lightly, and said lightly, without the slightest superfluous look on her face, but people couldn't take their eyes off it at a glance.

"Compared with the girl, I am still far behind, I have heard of the girl's deeds, you have just reached the end of the year, you have supported a large family, and you have also bought a house in the town of Lianzhou City, so smart, it is really rare in the world, you can be called a heroine among women."

Tong Qian also touted that before he took over this hot pot restaurant, he had already inquired about Qian Qianqian's affairs in Lianzhou City, so Xiao Mohan was determined to marry Qian Qianqian, and he was not surprised at all.

Xiao Mohan is not a layman who values the appearance of the family so much, and only a smart and clever woman like Qian Qianqian is worthy of him.

"I'm just forced to be helpless, my background is not good, if I don't work hard, I will only starve to death, unlike the official ladies in the capital, all of them are like willows and wind, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, don't have to come out to show up, and don't have to run around to grab business, men should like their women."

Qian Qianqian's face didn't have the slightest wave, she had heard too many of these words, and she was used to it, but she didn't like it, she traveled to this ancient time, and she was forced to be strong all the way, so she didn't think it was a good thing.

"Those who like them are all vulgar and superficial men, and a woman like you is only worthy of heroes like General Xiao, so you must become the general's wife."

Tong Qian admires Qian Qianqian very much, he can see that Qian Qianqian is a generous and kind person, if he becomes the general's wife, they will definitely have a good life.

"I borrowed your auspicious words, and when General Xiao returned triumphantly, the matter could be decided."

Qian Qianqian's heart also swelled with warmth, she not only did not reject the identity of the general's wife now, but also had some expectations.

Tong Qian wanted to take care of the affairs of the store, Qian Qianqian didn't stay long, chatted a few words and left here, since the method has been thought of, then it must be implemented, otherwise it will drag on day by day, and I don't know what the situation is.

"Miss Qian, Lord Shao should go down to the court now, should we go directly to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Xue Yi knew that Qian Qianqian was a fiery character, and she had to do what she decided, so she asked later.

Qian Qianqian stopped, originally she planned to go directly, but after thinking about it, there are many eyes and ears in this capital, if she goes, it will not be good to be seen, so it is better to send a letter to Shao Huaigu, Shao Huaigu must know what to do.
