Thunder was rolling outside, and soon it was raining.

The Emperor's screams were muffled by the sound of the thunderstorm, which was not so abrupt, but he stood up almost immediately, and his movements were so big that people couldn't ignore them.

This move made the village chief's whole family jump, looked at him a little nervously, and asked cautiously, "How, how, is it too expensive?" ”

"It's, in fact, it can drop some ......"

The Emperor Taishang immediately raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and the whole person was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and he almost fainted out of breath.

The village chief didn't dare to speak, he didn't know where he said something wrong, and looked at Lu Baichuan with some help.

Lu Baichuan didn't expect them to sell it so cheaply, and when he saw the village chief explaining patiently: "Father-in-law Chang thinks that you are selling too cheaply, and it is estimated that you have been cheated." ”

"Huh? But the shopkeeper said that it was already the highest price for us, and we thought that it was something that grew itself in the mountains anyway, so we just picked it back and fried it, and it didn't take much trouble, and it was not bad to sell it for ten cents a catty......"

All:......

They all think so themselves, and it's no wonder they were caught.

Over there, the Emperor Taishang had just gasped for breath, and he almost fainted again when he heard this.

He waved his hand and said, "Five taels of silver a catty, how many are sold to me!" Do you have any other families in your village? ”

The village chief was frightened by his heroic appearance, and he didn't care about other reactions, but nodded vigorously: "Yes!" Yes! ”

Oh my God, that's five taels of silver! Their whole family has worked hard for a whole year, and they can't make so much money!

I didn't expect this wild tea to sell for so much money!

"Many families in the village have it, and I taught me how to roast tea, and I learned some fur from my grandfather when I was a child, and after I found that there are wild tea trees in the mountains, I taught them!"

In other words, there are a lot of teas, do you really want them all?

When the Emperor Taishang heard this, he was even more happy, waved his hand, and said, "All of them!" After a while, when the rain stops, you go and call all the people who have tea, count how much, and I will pay directly. ”

The village chief was so happy that he fainted, but he still kept his senses and asked, "Nobleman, is this tea really so valuable?" Are you really going to spend so much money? Don't break the bank to help us......"

The Emperor waved his hand and said: "Your tea is worth this price, I will want your annual goods in the future, as long as you do it well, I can also increase the price for you, and give you a token in a while, you can send it to your local yamen, and the people there will do things well." ”

"This, this, this ......"

The village chief was so happy that he was incoherent and couldn't speak.

The Emperor didn't care about him, but said to Concubine Liu: "You help me remember, and I will tell you to go to the yamen in the county for a while." ”

"Okay."

Concubine Liu smiled and nodded, thinking that the Emperor Taishang had done a good job, and she felt that this was the meaning of coming out to play.

The two sons of the village chief's family were also so excited that they pinched themselves fiercely, for fear that this was their own dream, and the other female relatives who hid outside the door and did not dare to come in also had tears in their eyes, they really met a noble person today!

Knowing that they were in a hurry, the village chief's family did not stay long, and after preparing the room, they went to inform the rest of the village to prepare tea, and soon only the three of them were left in the house.

Emperor Taishang looked at Lu Baichuan and asked, "You say, can you make money from this tea?" ”

Lu Baichuan was a little surprised, and thought that he bought it back to reward others or something, but he didn't expect that he wanted to do business.

"Do you want to do business?"

The Emperor Taishang said vaguely: "Almost." ”

Lu Baichuan thought about it seriously and said: "This tea is really good, it can be liked by many people when it is sold, this craft is known to the people in the village, it is relatively scarce, and the price is easy to stir up." ”

"It's good, it's good to make money."

The Emperor Taishang was very satisfied, and then Lu Baichuan went back to his house, and they rested for a while, after the rain stopped, it was already dark, and the courtyard was lit with torches, which illuminated the surroundings very brightly.

A few people simply ate something, and the villagers who were notified came over one after another, and two or three people came from a family, all with tea that they had not sold for the time being.

The Emperor Taishang looked at it, there are actually not many of them, and it is estimated that they are only two to three catties, but fortunately, there are many people with tea in the village, and they can add up to a hemp bag.

The Emperor personally checked it, and there are still some differences between each family, but it is not very big, and the villagers are very well protected, afraid that the tea fragrance will disperse, and the inside is wrapped in oil paper, and then the outside is packed in a cloth bag, the quality is very good, and there is no resurgence.

Emperor Taishang asked the village chief to repeat his previous words to the villagers, making sure that every villager could understand what was going on.

The villagers are very excited, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.

It turns out that pie really falls from the sky!

After confirming that it was correct, the old emperor signed a contract with the villagers, each family had a copy, and the old emperor kept a separate copy, and the contract said that the goods must be of guaranteed quality, and once someone was found to be confused with the defective products, they collectively stopped cooperating and everyone supervised each other.

In addition, the money is taken directly from the yamen, and people will go to the yamen early tomorrow morning to say hello, if the yamen dares to default on the money, they will go to the Anlanfang teahouse in Fucheng to deliver a letter, and someone will administer justice for them.

Anlanfang is the intelligence bureau under Qianfan Pavilion, and all cities are distributed, the old emperor thought to himself, tomorrow by the way, to say hello, it is considered to take advantage of Mingze, and he will write to the emperor to help him return the favor.

What the people are most afraid of is arrears, but they didn't expect this noble person to be so simple, and even thought about the way back for them.

"Thank you, sir!"

The villagers were about to kneel down immediately, but the Emperor Taishang hurriedly stopped: "Don't be so polite, it's just raining, and the ground is full of mud, don't get caught in the cold." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"The noble man is coming, it is really the Bodhisattva who favors our Zhangjia Village! It must be the Bodhisattva's manifestation, and another day is empty, and he must go to worship! ”

"yes, I'm going too! What an honor it is for us to be born and grow in Beiyan! Since the natural disaster that year, the imperial court has only collected 20% of our taxes, and now they have sent nobles to help us, which is really undreamable! ”

"yes, yes......"

The villagers sighed excitedly, but the Emperor Taishang and Lu Baichuan instantly frowned when they heard this, and something seemed to be wrong.

"Fellow, you just said that the imperial court collects how much tax?"

The Emperor Taishang couldn't help but ask again, the fellow sighed in his heart, it couldn't be that the imperial court didn't have this order, but their local officials changed it privately, right?

Then wouldn't he hurt their official master by saying this?

It's over......

But in front of the nobles, he didn't dare to lie, after all, the nobles bought their tea at a high price.
