The Lin family released a batch of grain and distributed it to the two grain merchants, and the Lu family also began to sell a batch of grain when they saw this, Shang Mingyuan followed, and Zhou Tingshi took the opportunity to suppress it, and the grain prices in Suzhou, which had soared due to the lack of green and yellow, fell again, although it would not drop too much, but fortunately, it stabilized.

The people saw that the price of grain had fallen again, so they were relieved, and those who should buy grain bought grain, and those who should cut down on food and clothing.

Anyway, the price of grain fluctuates every year, but as long as there is no catastrophe, it will not be too outrageous, and the people of Suzhou are still very confident in this.

And it is precisely this self-confidence that keeps them from rushing to buy food prices as soon as they fall, and who knows if it will come down next time, no matter how high it is, it will not be too high anyway.

After releasing a batch of grain, Lin Yubin's most important task this spring was completed, and she focused on bamboo paper and the books of Lin's Bookstore.

Recently, a lot of booksellers have come from Xishu, and they have come with the scholars of Xishu, the former rushing to the bamboo paper of the Lin family, and the latter to the reading building.

But when they arrived, the booksellers wanted to take the books from the reading building.

Of course, they can't take it away, they either copy the book, or they can only buy it from Hanmozhai.

It would cost them an extra day to stay here, and they couldn't hire anyone to copy the books, because everyone was only willing to copy them for themselves and the reading house, and how long would they have to copy the books they wanted before they could take the books they wanted?

So I can only buy it from Hanmo Studio.

Fortunately, after a few months of hard work, Lin's Book Company finally allowed Hanmo Zhai to have books to sell, and printed a lot of books that I thought would be popular.

The bookseller from Xishu placed several orders very generously, and Lin Yubin suddenly found that the money he made from selling books was no less than that of bamboo paper, even though their pricing was much less.

Now Lin's Bookstore is printing books for the Reading Building for free, but it is in a state of loss, and it has not been able to make money, and Steward Liu and the craftsmen in the bookstore are also very anxious.

Therefore, Lin Yubin attaches great importance to this business, and takes this opportunity to start to make a noise, hoping to attract other booksellers in Daliang, and it would be better if he could attract booksellers from other countries.

Because it was not easy for those booksellers to come to the girder once, each order was very large.

For Lin's Bookstore, which has a wealth of engraving and movable type, it is not afraid of a large number of orders, but a small amount.

The Lin family is constantly spending money, but they are also making money in a steady stream, even if people outside don't know the specific details, looking at the prosperity of the paper mill, weaving mill and embroidery room, they also guess that the Lin family must make a lot of money, some are envious, and naturally some are jealous.

Zhao Sheng was very red-eyed, but he was in a better mood after receiving a huge sum of money, so he divided the money into several parts, one for Zhao Jie to send to raise his soldiers; One was sent back to Jiangdu to support the family, and the other copies were distributed to several stewards to sell goods from the south to the north, mainly silk and satin.

A steward was a little embarrassed when he took the money, and said in a low voice: "Second master, many of our suppliers were intercepted by the Lin family last year, and this year's price may not be as good as in previous years." ”

Not only were the suppliers cut off, but their buyers were also pulled away, and they lost a lot in the fight with Lin last year, closing several stores during the Chinese New Year.

It is obviously impossible for the second master to want the income of previous years, they all know Zhao Sheng's personality, if they don't make it clear at this time, they won't be able to pay enough money when the income is calculated, and they are afraid that they will be questioned.

The other stewards also looked embarrassed and expressed their difficulties.

Zhao Shengcai's mood was bad again, he reluctantly suppressed his breath and said: "I know, so I will do my best this time, and I hope to see the benefits before the autumn, even if it is not as good as in previous years, but it is not too low." ”

The other stewards looked at each other and asked in a low voice, "How much do you think is appropriate?" ”

"Am I the one who said I would make this gain?" Zhao Sheng said angrily, "I can have as many as I say?" ”

How is that possible, how can there be a sure profit or loss in business, but aren't they mentally prepared for fear of being questioned?

In the past two years, Zhao Sheng's temper has become bigger and bigger, and the stewards don't dare to stroke his tiger whiskers, and they don't dare to speak.

Zhao Sheng snorted coldly, didn't say much, waved them down, and waited for someone to leave before calling his henchman Qu Yong and said, "How is my uncle?" ”

Qu Yong was silent and said: "I gave a generous gift, but my uncle's face is not very good, so I'm afraid I'm still angry." ”

Zhao Sheng snorted and muttered, "This gas is really long enough." ”

He thought for a moment and said, "This time he should also receive the money, strike while the iron is hot, and tell him that we have a big business to do with him." ”

Qu Yong asked in a low voice, "Will my aunt still cooperate?" ”

"Don't worry, the hole of their Shang family is not much smaller than our Zhao family, I am in a hurry to use the money, how can he not be in a hurry?" Zhao Sheng said confidently: "Didn't he just receive the money now, if you go and say some soft words, he will definitely be willing." ”

Zhao Sheng advised: "This matter is not in a hurry, the eldest brother said to delay it, so you go to the capital to keep an eye on it in person, and you don't have to rush back." ”

Qu Yong heard that the uncle also knew about this, so he retreated with peace of mind.

Shang Ping, who was far away in the capital, didn't know that the Zhao family's henchmen were going to come to the door again, and he was telling Shang Mingjie with a serious face at this time, "Listen to your Shangguan's words, you are traveling with the four princes this time, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds, our Shang family doesn't expect you to glorify your ancestors, as long as you don't cause trouble for your family." ”

Changping couldn't help coughing lightly, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Master, it's not too early, let the second master go, don't let the old men of the military department wait." ”

Shang Ping glared at Shang Mingjie, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go quickly, do you want me to invite you to the car?" ”

Shang Mingjie twitched the corner of his mouth, saluted silently and left, he didn't know where he provoked his father's eyes, since he entered the military department, his father scolded him three times a day.

Shang Mingjie said that he really misses his grandmother.

Shang Ping snorted at this time, but did not leave immediately, but watched Shang Mingjie ride away before turning around and returning home.

Changping said helplessly: "The master is obviously worried about the second master, why don't you give him a few more words, but scold him?" ”

"When a young man becomes a talent, does he listen to less flattery outside?" Shang Ping snorted lightly: "If I praise him again, isn't he going to fly to the sky?" Do not praise him in the future, let him sharpen his character. ”

Changping felt that the master was so counterproductive, the father and son rarely met, before the second master came to Beijing, the time spent by the father and son could be calculated in hours, in addition to blood, there was not much affection at all, and then according to the scolding of three meals a day, no matter how good the relationship would be.

But Shang Ping doesn't think so, Shang Mingjie is his son, he can scold as much as he wants, and teach him how he wants, isn't it natural?

Changping was helpless, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to change the topic and said: "Master, the second uncle sent another gift, you see?" ”

"Go back, I won't accept it!" Shang Ping was angry when he mentioned this, the two of them cooperated against the Lin family's business a few years ago, and he admitted that he lost miserably, and what made him unacceptable was that Zhao Sheng ran away without a word of explanation.

directly pressed his money and didn't give it, there was such a big hole at that time, he almost cheekily went to the money bank to continue to borrow, so he barely made up the money.

After a busy winter, the money I made from trading with that side almost covered the money I lost last year.

He also knew that the loss was not bad for Zhao Sheng, after all, who knew that the Lin family was so treacherous, and he came prepared, and waited for them?

But why did Zhao Sheng run away without saying a word to him?

Shang Ping spent the belly of the villain with the heart of a villain, and doubted whether the money was really all cheated by the Lin family.

That's why he didn't want to forgive Zhao Sheng even more, at least for now, he wasn't willing to forgive him.

Changping persuaded in a low voice: "Master, the eldest uncle also sent a letter from there, and the slave just needs to see it." ”

Shang Ping kept his face calm and didn't speak, but his attitude slowly softened, and he didn't say anything about returning Zhao Sheng's gift.

Changping understood in his heart, and immediately asked people to count the things and send them to the warehouse.

In the past, when my uncle was there, my lord valued my uncle the most, and he was willing to listen to everything my uncle said, and what my uncle said was the most effective when my uncle was seriously ill.

Changping knew this very well, and the master didn't really want to stiffen the relationship between the Shang and Zhao families.

Shang Mingjie took Xi Yan to the Ministry of War, and asked him to look at the luggage and go to report, this time he was one of the personnel of the Ministry of War who followed the four princes to envoy Chu State, in fact, he was a little minion, and he followed behind to do chores.

But this is still a valuable experience for Shang Mingjie, who has just joined the company, and it will be much easier to be promoted with this on his resume in the future.

In addition to him, Lin You is also on the list of entourage.

However, Lin You relied on his relationship to get in, and the fourth prince knew that he was Lin Qingwan's nephew, and also knew that he was the next generation of the Lin family cultivated by Lin Qingwan, so he valued him very much.

As for Shang Mingjie, I have to say that he was lucky, in the military department, there are many young junior officers, but there are only two who are from Jinshi, and Shang Mingjie performed well after joining the company, so he was selected.

One person can only bring one attendant at most, I don't know how long it will take to go to Chu State this time, Shang Mingjie has packed a lot of luggage, and he has streamlined it a lot last night, and he was worried that he would bring too much, but when he saw the cages brought by other bosses, he was relieved.

Although Shang Mingjie and Lin You are in different departments, they are both new science and technology scholars, and they are both responsible for miscellaneous work, so they converged and got together.

The two of them did not have the right to ride in the carriage, so they got on the horse and ran with the cold wind.

Lin You shrunk his neck, beat his horse and walked beside Shang Mingjie and said, "Brother Lu should also come, let him feel the cold wind of this spring." ”

He looked left and right and whispered, "I have two scarves there, which my aunt sent to me, and I didn't think I needed them, so I'll give you one later." ”...
