Chapter 17 Funded by the Yamen, instructed by the Imperial Court
Gu Lan raised his eyebrows, looked over, and saw a little old man with a somewhat rickety figure, with a few official uniforms and entourage, entering the grain village.
Sensing his gaze, the folds on the little old man's face wrinkled, squeezed out a full smile, and hurried in a few steps.
"Lord Dou?" Gu Lan smiled slightly and said, "You are not on duty at the Yamen, how can you have time to come here?" ”
The city of Langzhou is very large, the yamen is in the west of the city, and the Gu Mansion is in the east of the city.
Dou Fu arched his hand and said truthfully: "Gu Gongzi Grain Village has opened, how can there be less official support, I just heard that I came over." ”
In fact, since the name of this goods was reported that day, a small official was sent to the east of the city to look at it.
Although you can't enter the Gu family, it's still okay to inquire about the Gu family's grain village.
After Dou Fu finished explaining, he turned his face to look at a few annoying women, and said coldly: "You long-tongued women, do you recognize this official?" ”
"Lord Dou, the women recognize..."
Knowing that the little old man in front of them was Langzhou Mansion Yin, they were silent for a while!
I never expected that a small grain village owner would have such a relationship with Fu Yin, so that Lord Fu Yin could come to the scene upside down!
"It's good to recognize it, you are here to disturb Gu Gongzi's rest, and you are blocking the door to obstruct the business of the grain farm, this is called the crime of disturbing the order of the market, and this official will treat you..."
Dou Fu spat and the stars flew around.
"Forget it, Lord Dou."
Gu Lan saw him and reprimanded him for a while, afraid that this little old man would drag these women to the vegetable market in order to please himself later.
Although the aunts are a little vexatious, they are not guilty.
"Since you don't buy food, go away."
When the words fell, several women were at a loss and looked at Dou Fu timidly.
Dou Fu glared: "Look at what this official has done, Gu Gongzi said to let you go, why don't you leave quickly!?" ”
"Lord Xie forgives, Master Gu forgives!"
Only then did a few women understand who had the final say here, so they bowed and nodded again and again, and walked away in a panic with small steps.
For fear of saying more, he will be dragged to the yamen to ask for guilt.
After today, I believe that the matter of Gu's grain village having a relationship with the yamen will soon spread in the city, and there will be no more people who don't have a long eye to stir up trouble.
Moreover, with an official like Langzhou Prefecture as a guarantee, there will be more people buying grain.
It saved me unnecessary trouble... Gu Lan looked at this flattering little old man and felt a little more pleasing to the eye.
Seeing that this matter was properly resolved, Dou Fu turned his face, and after a little muttering, he began to express his intentions: "Gu Gongzi, in fact, I came today because of this grain matter..."
The secret order that the Hanging Heaven Division had just arrived this morning made him fully responsible for the sale of grain at the Gu Clan's Grain Village.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to come in time to cheer...
Regardless of the size of the official product, I am really afraid of the Hanging Heavenly Division!
"Looking for Lao Yang, I don't care about the account." Gu Lan pointed in the direction of the crowd in the village, thinking that he was going to buy grain: "But each person is limited to two taels, and you can't be an exception." ”
Dou Fu was stunned for a moment, and said with a busy smile: "No, no, the son misunderstood, I don't want to buy grain, but I want to help your grain farm be shipped out..."
"Isn't that a dart game?"
Gu Lan wondered.
In order to grow their business, grain farms will spend money to hire dart bureaus to transport grain to other states and counties, which is a well-known rule.
"That's right, so the son doesn't have to spend money, Langzhou Yamen will help you transport it."
Dou Fu nodded, his eyebrows raised very funny.
"You help me carry food, and you help... Don't want money yet? Gu Lan stared at him.
"Not only don't you need money, but our Langzhou government also pays money to fund your grain business!" Dou Fu said neatly.
The people around were surprised at the moment, but they didn't expect that the county master, who was a dime a dime, would one day take the initiative to fund the people's business!
"Help me carry food for free... Is that why you're coming to me today? ”
Gu Lan's eyes shone and asked slowly.
After getting Dou Fu's affirmative reply.
Gu Lan became more and more aware that there were definitely officials in the DPRK and China who were helping him, otherwise it would be impossible for Dou Fu, a low-grade petty official with a six-grade grade, to take the initiative to pay for it!
Besides, there is also the last time the department reported the name.
Fortunately, this person has been helping me, not from the enemy family in the capital... Gu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and didn't ask about it again.
Some people notice that they are uncomfortable, but as long as they are friends and foes, they don't have to take the risk of finding out who they are.
After all, the big officials are just mortals.
He doesn't threaten himself, only hanging...
"Got it, you go back, and in three days I will ask Lao Yang to wrap the grain seeds and send them to the yamen." Gu Lan said softly.
"You don't have to bother with the people of the child." Dou Fu pointed to the official next to him: "When the time comes, the prince will give a letter, and we will go to the house to pick it up in person." ”
"Okay." Gu Lan agreed.
Serve tea to guests.
Dou Fu walked to the door, but turned around again, as if he remembered something, and said in a low voice: "By the way, Gu Gongzi, there is one more thing to remind you, since this grain farm is a business, there will be competitors, because your grain is very good, I am afraid that there will be some other grain merchants who are not eye-opening at that time..."
Are your peers jealous and secretly stumbling... Gu Lan smiled indifferently, and directly pushed the responsibility of maintenance to the little old man: "This matter will trouble your county master, Langzhou, this acre and three points of land, there are businessmen who don't listen to you?" ”
"There really is..."
Dou Fu smiled bitterly and said, "Some businessmen are not good to say... In short, son, be careful yourself, if you are in trouble, come to the yamen to find me, and I will try to help you solve it. ”
"Okay."
Gu Lan nodded in agreement, smiling brightly.
......
In the twilight, the three of them returned home in a carriage.
Although Lao Yang Tou and Liu Yexi were very tired after a busy day, they were still quite happy at the moment when they counted the account books.
The income is not much, and it is only a month's turnover of the tea house.
Just knowing that this grain will save the lives of many suffering people, the fatigue becomes worth it.
Got out of the car.
Liu Yexi looked at the lights in the house, and saw that Gu Lan was also watching, and said with a somewhat teasing smile: "I went to cook with Lao Yang, and my son has been out for a day, so I must be in a hurry to see Mrs." ”
Not in front of the empress, she doesn't have to abide by the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, and her girlish temperament is much more lively.
Lao Yang nodded vigorously.
Gu Lan laughed freely and admitted: "You still know this son, the ancients, there are beauties who never forget, and if you don't see them for a day, you are like crazy... Isn't it normal to miss your mother? ”
Gu Lan strode towards the study.
In front of the window, the shadow of the beautiful woman is shining through the candlelight in the window lattice, slender and graceful.
Tsk, worthy of being a son, the hypocritical love words can be said so vulgarly, no wonder he and his wife are like glue every day...
Behind them, Liu Yexi and Lao Yang stopped and looked up, with goosebumps.
...
Gu Lan entered the study.
Seeing Mu Yuyan holding a book, he was extremely fascinated.
Her jade arm is holding her cheeks, her phoenix eyes are shining like stars, and her green jade fingers turn the pages of the book from time to time, quiet and beautiful.
Gu Lan quietly approached and found that she was not reading her favorite script, but reading the agricultural classic "Qi Min Yaoshu" that she had just written a few chapters!
"Lady, are you still interested in this kind of book?"
