Liu Jiti ordered his subordinates to clean up the food, and no one had the heart to eat it. He used to be very conceited, thinking that he was talented, and even after repeated failures and repeated deceptions, he still felt that God was not with me, and it was a trick of fate. But when he is facing such a big crisis now, and he can't think of any way, he really admits that he is not a genius, as the old man said, an out-and-out waste material.

"Why didn't you even eat?" A familiar voice sounded outside the door, and everyone looked up in shock, only to see Yin Le coming in with his hands behind his back, followed by Shoutou Xiaojiu and Mo Yan Hongyan, as well as Xiao Xiang holding some gifts.

Everyone hurriedly got up and knelt down to say hello, "See the queen mother!" ”

Yin Le stood still, frowned and said, "You guys are forcing me to go in rhythm!" ”

Zhang Baojuan said: "Don't say this, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and the queen is not the identity of the past, so she deserves to be worshiped by us." ”

Yin Le sat at the dining table, picked up the chopsticks and ate, and said, "I knew it would be so boring to come back, so I wouldn't come back." How am I different now? One more nose or one more mouth? Kneel if you like, and I'll leave when I'm done. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know whether to continue kneeling or get up.

Shoutou asked strangely, "What are you doing on your knees?" Did you do something wrong? ”

In his cognition, he only has to kneel if he does something wrong, and he was punished by the old man for kneeling before, all when he was mischievous and disobedient.

Mo Yan said with a smile: "Get up, she finally came back once, but she didn't come back to see everyone kneeling." ”

Only then did everyone help each other up, and Yan Hui stepped forward and asked, "Didn't you say that Niangniang was grounded?" How can I get out of the palace? ”

Yin Le said while eating: "Where can the old woman stop me?" I'm going to leave the palace, I can do it at any time, sit down to eat, and tell me about the recent situation. ”

Yan Hui and Jiang Junxia glanced at each other, and then looked at everyone, and everyone's expressions were a little worried.

After sitting down nervously, no one picked up chopsticks and continued to eat, and Yin Le's words just now made everyone even more worried. Although she said that she was the queen, the person she became an old woman was the current queen mother and the emperor's biological mother.

Yan Hui lowered her voice and asked, "Then, this time you are out of the palace, does the Queen Mother know?" ”

Yin Le shook his head, "I don't know!" ”

The people present suddenly turned white, Yan Hui stood up and exclaimed, "How can it be done?" Niangniang hurried back to the palace, while she didn't know yet. ”

Mo Yan said: "Grandma don't worry, since the master can come out, she is naturally sure that she can settle it, and the queen mother will not trouble her, even if she does, the master can deal with it." ”

Liu Jidi was timid, afraid that the queen mother's blame would cause the Liu family to suffer, so he said worriedly: "But, she is the queen mother, she is the biggest in the harem, right?" ”

Liu Run looked at Yin Le's face and said, "Why should Uncle worry? Since the queen mother can leave the palace, it proves that she is sure to compete with the queen mother, let's eat. ”

Liu Run has always rarely expressed his opinions, let alone nonsense, and what he said was insightful. Everyone was a little relieved to hear him say this.

The meal continued, Yin Le looked up and asked Liu Qin, "How is the business over there?" ”

Just now they asked them to report the situation, but they were all silent, and Yin Le learned something from Bai Zikou, so she expected that something must have happened.

Liu Qin said with some guilt: "There are many orders this year, but due to the failure of the tea garden, some are in short supply. ”

"There are many orders, and the supply is insufficient, so it is enough to take fewer orders, and these things are not difficult to handle." Yin Le was relieved.

Liu Qin lowered his head and said softly: "However, all the orders this year have been signed. ”

Yin Le was stunned for a moment, and looked up at him, "Didn't you coordinate well beforehand?" How much is the supply, how many orders should be received, watch the food and eat, this matter can also be messy? This year, the tea plantations in various places have lost their harvest, and it stands to reason that strange goods can be lived, which is a real and profitable business, and there should be no problems. ”

Liu An also said ashamedly: "I can't blame the eldest brother for this, and I blame us for not doing a good job of statistics in advance, it's like this every year, if there is an order, I will talk about it, thinking that even if the harvest is lost, it should still be enough to supply." ”

"So how many orders do we need to unsubscribe and pay now?" Yin Le put down his chopsticks and asked with the unhappiness in his heart. As she said, this year's business is really not difficult to do, watching the food and eating, how many goods are signed and how many orders, the price is raised, new customers are not accepted, only to old customers. Even if you don't know how to do business, you shouldn't have any trouble.

Liu Qindao: "According to preliminary statistics, we will lose about three million taels of silver, deducting the income from the tea we sold, and the loss will be one and a half million taels. ”

Yin Le was taken aback, "It's just a double deposit, why do you want so much?" ”

Liu Qin said even more ashamedly: "Everyone knows that there is a shortage of goods this year, so there are a lot of deposits, in fact, if you really count it, there are still two million taels to lose." ”

"What two million taels? Is it to add two million taels to three million taels? Be clear! Yin Le was a little angry, low-level mistakes, in vain for her to trust them so much.

Jiang Junxia saw that Liu Qin was scolded, and the husband was anxious, so he explained: "That's the case, we signed an order of 100,000 quintals with Chen Laosan, the largest tea merchant in the southern country, but this 100,000 quintals must not be given, he gave a deposit of 300,000 yuan before, and said that if there is no supply of goods, it is to compensate him for the silver of this 100,000 quintals of tea." Later, after negotiation, he said that he didn't want silver, just tea, but he didn't say that he would sue us for breach of contract with the court, but listening to his tone, there was such a meaning. ”

"Merchants of the Southland?" Yin Le frowned, remembering what Bai Zi said, this Chen Laosan was probably the person sent by Liang Qing, the princess of the southern country. Since it's for her, it's no wonder they're there, even if they don't make a move this time, there will always be a next time.

"Did she specify that she wanted our Liu family tea?" Yin Le asked.

"Yes, he specified Liu's tea."

"Have you ever counted how much tea there is this year?" Yin Le asked with a deep groan.

Liu Qin said: "The preliminary estimate is about 200,000 quintals. ”

Yin Le frowned, one-third of last year's was not as good as that. Liujia tea is popular all over the country, and its sales have always been very good, the price is moderate, and it is widely popular, so orders come from all over the country. There is a shortage of tea in China this year, and it stands to reason that it should not be exported to the south, but doing business is to pay attention to credibility, and the contract is signed, and there is no goods for others, so you will lose money.

"If you really can't do it, then pay him money!" Yin Ledao.

Liu Qin said with a bitter face: "What the problem people want now is the goods, and they don't accept losing money." ”

Yin Le immediately understood that he didn't accept to lose money because he wanted to consume 100,000 quintals of their 200,000 quintals of tea first, and then let them lose more old customers and let them pay more silver.
