275 Preparation
"Madam, no matter how much I earn, it can't reach my hands, even if I want to, it's impossible to swallow it privately, not to say that Fuxi is the prince's person, just say that these guards of the Imperial Forest Army, if any one of them says a few bad things about me in front of the prince, then how can I still have good fruit to eat? So, leave this matter to you, Madame, whether you want to call the other Madame or yourself, this tea shed must have one. β
At the beginning, Hua Ronghua did think about selling tea by herself, but she didn't have enough manpower, and if she was hired, she didn't know the roots, and the prefect's wife was sour just now, so she decided to give this broth to the prefect's wife.
Mrs. Prefect's heart has already made an abacus, and she wants to make this money in her heart, but she still has to be reserved on her face, so she said disdainfully: "I'm afraid that the adults will blame those things that are stained with business smell!" β
No way! Hua Ronghua almost scolded, and finally saw that he could pretend to be better than himself. If you're really scared, your eyes will get so bright?
Although he scolded in his heart, he had to persuade him on the surface, and Hua Ronghua felt that he was going to be suffocated to death.
"Madame, let's just make some fat powder money, and it's not really a businessman's business, and it's not all about making money, it's also for those who go shopping to have a place to rest, it's not weird if you want to be weird."
Mrs. Prefect's eyes lit up, "What Mrs. Hua said is reasonable, then for those people who go shopping, Mrs. Ben is tired of this!" β
Hua Ronghua tried hard to control the corners of his mouth to prevent them from skimming down, until he returned to the carriage after leaving the mansion and said three sentences in a row, "I rely on, I rely on, I rely on it!" β
The Qin guard, who was driving the car outside, and Fuxi, who was sitting on the wheel of the car and sobering up, looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with her.
Fuxi thought about it and hurriedly told her the results of his negotiations with the prefect, "Mrs. Hua, the prefect said that he would fully support us in doing this exhibition." β
"Hmph, the prince is watching from behind, can he not support it?"
Hey? Why do you feel that Mrs. Hua's mood doesn't seem to be right?
Fuxi subconsciously looked at Qin Shan, but who knew that people didn't hear it at all, and continued to drive his car.
"Uh, Mrs. Hua, is the prefect's wife unhappy?" Fuxi asked cautiously as he looked sideways at the curtain that swayed back and forth as the carriage walked.
"Not happy? It's no wonder if she's not happy, isn't she happy with such a good money-making opportunity? I'm afraid I'm already crazy! Really, I think I want to be #@εζ³η«ηεηδΊΊδΊ! It's disgusting that the mother hugs the disgusting child and cries, disgusting to death! Hua Ronghua vented the sullenness in his heart and actually rushed out all the dirty words for a while, and after saying that, it didn't feel right, he suddenly lifted the curtain, ignored the two men who were almost scared out of the car by her, and said directly: "I didn't say anything just now!" If I hear someone out there talking nonsense, hum! β
After saying two words of horror without the slightest deterrence, Hua Ronghua lowered the curtain and sat back in the carriage, where he regretted that his quick mouth couldn't be changed, what if it reached the ears of the prefect's wife? However, it shouldn't be, in addition to Qin Shan and Fuxi in this carriage, they are not long-tongued women, can they still go to the prefect's wife to chew the root of the tongue?
With apprehension, Hua Ronghua began the preparations for the exhibition, decorating the venue, setting up the isolation belt, placing the booth, and adding a parasol due to the heat in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, the prefect's wife gathered several ladies from the government to open three tea sheds, and the required space was greatly increased, and finally after calculation, the place of the exhibition was placed in the martial arts arena in front of the garrison camp in the west of the city.
Talking about this issue with the big camp guards, Hua Ronghua was completely handed over to Fuxi, and those civil officials despised themselves so much, let alone military generals. As a result, Fuxi's talk didn't go well, and the guard general said it very bluntly, letting his celebrities in front of the prince ask for military salaries for them.
Although the garrison camp is also located in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not under the jurisdiction of the local government and is directly under the imperial court, and the salary is naturally paid by the imperial court, but the imperial court is already overstretched, and the silver hair is naturally not so timely, it is said that they have not paid the silver for three months. Although he is in the rich land of Jiangnan, he can't even get out of the camp because he is shy in his pocket, and he has nowhere to talk about this grievance.
"Then they have no money, and what about the grain? What do so many soldiers eat? If they also wait for the imperial court to send it, they will go with the person who delivered the grain to ask for it, why are they looking for us? Hua Ronghua scratched his head, it's not easy to move out of the prince this time, what people are looking for is the prince.
Qin Shan has a good understanding of these things, "Grain is allocated by the local government and deducted from the taxes paid to the imperial court. β
"No wonder!" People can't find the right owner, and it's no wonder that they can easily let go of the "person above" when they finally catch it.
"Mrs. Hua, why don't we let the Imperial Forest Army come forward......"
Fuxi's words were interrupted by Hua Ronghua before he finished speaking, "What are you doing?" Murder? β
"No, no, no, how dare I?" Fuxi hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm thinking about using the Imperial Forest Army to deter them!" β
"If the deterrence fails, will we have to hold this exhibition if we fight again?" Hua Ronghua gave him a blank look.
Fuxi said with a sad face: "Then I have no tricks, Mrs. Hua, what do you think?" β
Hua Ronghua was also worried, "How do I know?" It's not me who owes the debt. β
Qin Shan and Fuxi widened their eyes at the same time, saying that the court was in arrears, this Mrs. Hua was really bold.
But Hua Ronghua didn't feel that he had said anything wrong, and continued: "Fuxi, you write this matter on the letter and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have an idea!" β
Fuxi's face furrowed, "Mrs. Hua, if such a troublesome thing is told to His Royal Highness, my godfather will have to skin me." Besides, even if you write a letter and ride the fastest horse for more than ten days, it's too late! β
"Who's your godfather?"
"It's my uncle Cui's father-in-law, there is no one in my family, so I simply recognized him as my godfather!" After Fuxi finished speaking, he complained again, "These soldiers are really hateful, they ask for silver everywhere like a merchant!" β
"Silver? Yes, as long as there is silver, isn't it solved? Hua Ronghua's eyes lit up, and an idea quickly formed in his mind.
Fuxi grinned, "Mrs. Hua, you don't want to give them the money you earned from the fair, do you?" Then we'll be held accountable! β
"Don't make noise, let me think!" Hua Ronghua frowned and said, took a pen, and drew many symbols on the paper that they couldn't understand.
After about a cup of tea, Hua Ronghua clapped his hands and said a little excitedly: "Okay, just do it!" β
Fuxi and Qin Shan's eyes fell on Hua Ronghua together.
"Go and call for the guard to be called, and I'll talk with you then." Saying that, Hua Ronghua got up and walked to the back of the post station, "I'll go see the child first!" β
Fuxi wanted to know how this Mrs. Hua wanted to solve the dilemma in front of her, so she invited the guard as quickly as possible.
Looking at a few curious men looking directly at her, Hua Ronghua was slightly nervous, she cleared her throat and said: "You want to pay money, but we can't give it to you privately, if you ask for instructions, it will be too late, so I thought of a very simple way, that is, you go and earn money yourself!" β
The guard general was a bearded man of about forty, and as soon as he heard this, he exploded, suddenly stood up, and his eyes widened, "Nonsense, my military camp is full of real men who defend the family and the country, who is impatient to do such a shameful juggling?" β
Seeing this, Fuxi and Qin Shan also stood up, and subconsciously turned sideways in the direction of Hua Ronghua, in case the guard suddenly attacked.
But they obviously thought too much, although this guard general has a rough appearance but a very small heart, and he is a forward-looking character, otherwise he would not have stayed in the position of this guard for more than ten years. Listening to Hua Ronghua's words, although he got up angrily, he didn't plan to do anything to this 'prince's woman'!
Hua Ronghua was not annoyed, but smiled, "Since you said that you don't do juggling, you obviously thought so, right?" You don't have to be annoyed or shouted, what I'm talking about making your own money is not the kind of business that takes a lot of effort but can't make a few bucks. β
The guard's face turned red, and he had the heart to brush his sleeves away, but he was curious about what Hua Ronghua said, so he stared at her in place.
"The fair will be held near your barracks, and almost all the rich people in the state capital will come, and this is a great opportunity for your barracks to make money, and I said that making you make money is to make money from those merchants."
As soon as Hua Ronghua's voice fell, the guard made a serious face again, "How can this be done?" Outsiders who enter the barracks without permission should be punished as spies! β
"When did I say let people into your barracks? Can't you just listen to what people say? Hua Ronghua gave him a blank look.
The beard on the guard's chin was about to stand up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You say! β
Hua Ronghua continued: "These rich people have seen almost everything without worrying about food and clothing, but the richer the people, the more hypocritical they are, there should be many of them who like to eat wild meat, since the people in your barracks are all real men, it should be no problem to catch two rabbits and foxes, right?" β
"You mean let's sell game? Although we don't have a problem hunting, most of them are our own brothers' tooth sacrifices. If you sell it, you have to sell it in as much as you need, and if you can't sell it and there is no ice cellar, won't it all become stinky meat? The guard said thoughtfully.
"Who said you were allowed to sell meat?" As soon as the words came out, Hua Ronghua was shocked that there was some ambiguity in these words, and hurriedly coughed to hide the smile that was about to be exported, and continued: "You catch more things that rich people like to eat, like rabbits, pheasants, foxes, and badgers, all of them will live, and then build a small paddock with a fence, put them in it, and let those rich people pick them, and then you send people in to catch them, so that the cost of a live performance can not be a high price?" β
The guard general nodded secretly while listening, feeling that this Mrs. Hua's method was feasible, and couldn't help but be excited when she heard her say that she was performing, "What kind of performance?" β
"You don't have to shoot arrows, send someone to catch the prey that the rich man wants and tie it up, it's much better than those who sell it, shouldn't you ask for more money?" Hua Ronghua pondered and said: "And you can also pick some beautiful little animals to build another paddock, and then if those rich ladies and young ladies come over, they may want to raise one or two pets!" Maybe there is a young lady Huaichun who likes the soldiers in your camp! β
This was originally a joke by Hua Ronghua, but he didn't want to say it in the end.
