Yan Yu wanted to ride a donkey, but her master felt sorry for her and didn't allow it, so she had to squeeze in a small carriage with her master and father.

The donkey was tied to the cart and ran with it, not fast, much slower than when she came.

Shaking like this, Yan Yu originally liked to be sleepy, but this carriage couldn't absorb shocks, and it was bumpy all the way, but the more he sat down, the more energetic he became.

In the car, Shigong explained the reason for going to Fucheng.

“…… Haven't you seen it all when you go to the countryside to collect grain, and the grain tax in the prefecture and city is even worse, and the overcollected grain is not in the account, and it will be disposed of privately. When Master Tian talked about this, his tone was very calm.

"Fill your pocket?" Yan Lao Er asked.

Master Tian said: "Guanzhou is quite good, one season of grain is planted every year, the population is small, there is a lot of wasteland, and the annual grain tax can be limited, which is far worse than other big mansions."

Do you remember that I once told you that if you don't compete for the first place this year, there is also a way to make Fucheng less expensive? ”

Yan Laoer: "I remember." ”

At the barn that day, facing the warehouse full of grain, the teacher's happy appearance was still in front of him.

"There is surplus food in the city, and I am short of food, so I can buy it." This is the inspiration that Master Tian got from Yan Laoer.

He was never a pedantic man.

Do things more about results.

"Because it is resold privately, it will inevitably be lowered by grain merchants, and the teacher originally wanted to buy it at a slightly higher price, so that he could not only buy grain below the market price, but also take the opportunity to make the other party not embarrassed and pay grain.

The three border cities of Huju, Longxing and Fengming produce far less grain than Gufeng and Changping, if we follow this method, we will throw less money, and for them, raise the price of grain, and make more profits. ”

Yan Lao Er and Yan Yu's father and daughter are both quick to settle accounts.

I understood it in an instant.

Not to mention the rights and wrongs of those people who stole the grain, from the perspective of the deal itself, it was a win-win situation, and everyone was happy.

When the tiger is handed over the grain, he can save some and buy the grain at a low price.

Although those people have made a little less money from the tiger, the unit price of grain has risen.

Another advantage is that when the grain is in the hands of the tiger, in the style of the old man Tian, if the people are short of food, it is very likely to be flattened, or even at a loss.

It is much stronger than in the hands of grain merchants.

"Now the yaku is not empty, and there is not much difference, you can think about it for the teacher, or buy this grain, this trip to the city, you and I will act separately to raise silver taels for the master's ideas, you contact them one or two, if you can take the original price is the best, if not, it is acceptable to add less." Master Tian said.

Yan Laoer: "Teacher, can I do it?" Such a secret thing, they must be very careful, what if they don't sell me? ”

This kind of business must be supported by both parties, although he is a new face, but he can come with the teacher, it is estimated that he can't hide it, if people know, I'm afraid I won't dare to sell it.

"The barn was seized this year, and everyone in Guanzhou knows that if they don't sell it, they will be stabbed in front of the prince as a teacher, and see who has no face!" Master Tian said ruthlessly.

……

When he was about to arrive at the big stone bridge, Yan Yu rode a donkey home first.

Tell her mother that she will definitely not be able to come back tonight if she goes to Fucheng with her master and father, even tomorrow night.

Li Xuemei heard the reason, thought about it, and gave fifty taels to her daughter.

"This is the fifty taels that your father put in me, you bring it to your father, if your master can't make up the money, let him take care of it himself."

Seeing her daughter hesitantly take the silver and ride her donkey out of the hospital, Li Xuemei's eyes were withdrawn from the window, she added a piece of clothing to herself, picked up the title deed, and slowly walked towards Qi's house.

The Qi family's yard has always been busy.

"Lady." Seeing her coming, Old Man Kang was inexplicably surprised, and greeted her with the things in his hand.

"The old man has changed it, but the lady can't use it?"

It is said that the iron nail mold.

Li Xuemei's eyes burst out with joy.

While listening to each other's explanations, they compare them one by one in detail.

"Well done, you've worked hard."

He is an old man with a lot of skills.

"If you don't have a word from the lady, you will be taken care of by your village, and you should do your best, and you should do your best." Old man Kang smiled so much that the folds on his face bloomed.

……

Yan Yu caught up with the carriage and did not go back to the carriage, maintaining a state of following outside.

Seeing that the child really didn't want to sit in the car, Mr. Tian gave up and only told her to wrap herself up and not blow the cool breeze.

】

The group finally arrived at Yongning City.

The groom negotiated with the official who guarded the city, and Master Tian opened the curtain and nodded to the people who were inspecting outside, and the latter immediately let him go when he saw the official robe.

Master Tian was still interested in laughing at this time: "If you look at the official robe for the teacher that you toss, you can see it from the front, and there is a big gap in the back." ”

He turned his back and let Yan Lao Er see.

Yan Lao Er was extremely embarrassed and argued forcefully: "Wasn't the situation critical at that time, I didn't expect this." ”

Master Tian laughed: "I don't blame you for being a teacher. ”

"I'll buy you a new one later." Yan Lao Er made up for it.

"No, it's just good." Master Tian smiled meaningfully: "No matter who it is, just take a look, and you will know that the teacher is a tiger's master, and you can't fake it." ”

Master Tian entered the city and first found an inn to live in.

He took Yan Lao Er with him, not only to teach him his homework, but also these rules of conduct.

After settling down, he said to him: "It's getting late today, go to the palace tomorrow morning, and then go to the palace, it will take more than half a day's work, you should pay more attention when you go to the palace, see if you can talk to someone." ”

Yan Lao Er asked, "Teacher, why don't we go to the palace first?" ”

Master Tian shook his head: "Guanzhou is a feudal province of the British king, but as a teacher, first an official appointed by the imperial court, and then a subordinate minister of the British king, so you must first go to the palace to meet the prince." ”

"You wait and let Xiao Er prepare hot water and bathe for the teacher." Master Tian was afraid that his disciples would not know, so he explained: "When you meet Shangguan and meet the prince, you need to be well-groomed, and you will go back to the room to wash later." ”

"Teacher, why are we staying at the inn?" Yan Lao Er actually wanted to ask, why didn't he go home? Didn't you say that my wife was in Fucheng?

"This time I came for official business, public before private." Master Tian said briefly.

Yan Lao Er is really convinced, is it so formalistic? I have a home, but I can't go back? Staying in an inn is a waste of money, alas!

Back in the room, his daughter was looking down through the window.

"What are you looking at?"

Yan Yu closed the window in disappointment.

"I want to see if there's a night market or something."

"Is there one?"

"No, the vendors are all closing their stalls, and the shops are all on the board."

"Hungry, huh? Let the store get some food first, and let's add more to the stomach. Yan Lao Er said.

Yan Yu nodded and asked him: "Dad, why do you want to stay in the inn, it's a waste, it's better to stay at our house, get up early in the morning, don't delay anything and save money." ”

Yan Lao Er said what Master Tian said just now.

Yan Yu tasted it again and again, frowned and said, "Why do you feel like the master is calculating something?" ”
