The amount of charcoal burned in each charcoal field is about the same, and the annual consumption of firewood and charcoal in Yongning City and even in the surrounding cities is very different.

Even if they make a living as charcoal burners, they can see that this winter is a cold winter, and they have prepared more charcoal than in previous years, but they are still a little conservative, and only add 30% more than the previous year.

Yan Yu's group suddenly attacked the bulk market, and the charcoal farms pressed some goods in their hands.

If you can't sell it before that year, you will have to reduce the price after that year, and so on every year.

But no one expected that the heavy snow on Chinese New Year's Eve would fall so heavily and for so long.

The day of the lunar month is cold enough, and as soon as it enters the first month, the temperature plummets again, and the price of charcoal soars all the way, and even the black coal that burns with smoke has risen in value.

The price of charcoal is rising every day, which is the result of the joint efforts of several companies.

They may not have said in advance that they would cooperate with each other, but people will make the same choice at this time, arching that fire more vigorously and more prosperously!

"The price of charcoal has been too much higher than in previous years, at this time they can't save it if they want to, do they need to maintain the old relationship for many years, those high-ranking families can afford to open their crimes, don't look at the excitement they are selling now, the charcoal in their hands should be sold out soon." Yan Yu's analysis is reasonable.

"Whether it is before the year or the end of the year, the current charcoal in Yongning City is piled up in the courtyards of large households, and the princess actually wants to dig out these charcoals, these people must not lack charcoal to burn, but they have a strong sense of distress and money, and they don't care about spending money to buy a peace of mind."

Yan Lao Er interjected, "You said that your mother has a misunderstanding of our family's background, do you want to miss it? Your mother doesn't read the account, your father and I have seen it, but I haven't seen anything? We just made more money by selling it piecemeal, but our labor costs are also high!"

Almost every family in Xiao'an Village followed the Yan family to burn charcoal and sell charcoal.

First the children, after the weather turned cold, the adults in the family took over the stall.

Yan Yu did a very good job, she sorted the accounts quickly, and dared to let go, outsiders are afraid that they don't know that the wages of the people in their Xiao'an Village are really paid by the children in charge of the accounts.

Those babies sitting in Mr. Kang's classroom may not be able to recognize every word, but the accounts are extremely poor.

Yan Yu taught those smooth mouths, and the children's memorization was tighter than books.

Li Xuemei turned her head to look at her daughter again, waiting to hear what she had to say.

"Dad, you spent a lot of time in Huju before, I'm afraid you don't know how many trees and charcoal my Uncle Qi, Fourth Uncle Qi, and Fifth Uncle Qi have cut down and burned how much charcoal......" Yan Yu looked at his father with a very complicated gaze, and vigorously produced a miraculous happiness...... Dad, you can't imagine it!

"After the autumn harvest, the uncles and uncles in the village also joined in one after another, and the aunts were also diligent, and after the work at home was over, they went into the mountains to collect firewood and grass to hunt rabbits...... After we started collecting firewood and selling firewood, first it was a tiger, then Yongning, and then Gu Feng, Dad, you only read the account book, and our family's inventory has increased a lot in the past few days."

She whispered, "The colder the weather and the higher the price of charcoal, the more reluctant the poor families are to burn fires, and the number of people who come to sell firewood is not less, but also more."

"Our charcoal has not been burned, it is always burning, as far as I know, other charcoal farms have stopped, and we go into the mountains to cut down trees in winter?" Yan Yu shook his head and said, "Aren't they crazy? Even if you have a heart, you are powerless."

She said word by word: "Our family is different, our family's logs are not in the account, and they can't be reflected in the account book, so we have to actually look at it to know, father, mother, let's just say it, the logs we have stored now are enough for us to burn for a while."

"Why are there so many? No matter how capable you are, Uncle Qi, you won't have time to cut down so many trees!" Yan Lao Er questioned.

Yan Yu didn't say that she had time, so she asked Uncle Qi to go to the forest to cut down trees......

Not to mention, it's quite addictive.

"Hey, hey!" Yan Yu smiled: "Cutting down trees is slow and not environmentally friendly, of course you go into the mountains to pick them! There are fallen branches and fallen trees in the mountains, as long as people are diligent, go and pick them, Dad, you forgot, in addition to collecting firewood, our family has been collecting wood......

"Yes, those branches ......," Yan Lao Er remembered.

And he said, "These burn out

It's too broken."

"It's all mixed and burned, and these just add seams and plug the corners, and besides, there is a way to sell whole charcoal, and there is a way to sell broken charcoal, and it's not that it can't be burned." Yan Yu continued: "I started to pick up more branches, but then I felt that thicker wood was more profitable, so I stared at this, we are not too little for one or two, not too much for one car or two cars, as long as someone comes to sell it, we will buy it at the right price."

Her father hadn't read the ledgers in detail, but her uncle did.

Uncle asked her what she thought, why did she spread the stall so big?

She actually said that it was not very good, and if she wanted to make money, that was for sure, who wouldn't want to? can see that those people are reluctant to burn wood for warmth, and they are waiting for the settlement to sell, and the moment the copper plate is in hand, the kind of light that bursts out in their eyes......

She asked herself, she couldn't ignore it.

There is a touch in the heart.

Only...... Earn less.

"So Daddy, our family is really not thin, if I open up to sell now, I may not earn less than them."

Others have nothing to offer, and that's an advantage.

"Then this is right, it seems to be selling lively, in fact, other families no longer have much inventory, our family began to close the market on Chinese New Year's Eve, and you stopped trading on the first day of the new year, collecting firewood and not selling, people don't look for who you are looking for." Li Xuemei said.

"Mother, no matter who comes, don't do it, our family is a big family, I really can't afford to donate, but if they want to buy a batch of charcoal for relief, I can consider selling some of them." Yan Yu said.

Again, it's okay to do good deeds, do what you can.

Li Xuemei nodded to indicate that she understood.

She certainly couldn't hold her daughter back.

The family was about to fall asleep, not wanting to come in through the top door, so they shook their bodies towards Yan Yu, their tails pointing straight out.

"Someone's coming?" Yan Yu understood at a glance, and hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the kang.

Yan Lao Er also moved: "Someone came at this time, there must be something, is it from our village?" How did they enter the city at this time? The gates are shut!"

The two of them knew from the way they looked that they knew each other.

If you don't know, you won't be so gentle.

The two of them were caught and led to the back door.

confirmed their suspicions, acquaintances.

"Godfather!" Yan Yu exclaimed.

Yan Laoer: "Uncle, why are you here? It's a big night, hurry up and get inside."

Yan Yu helped the princess and went to her house.

After Wang Deshan came in, he first took a sip of the hot water handed over by Xiao Er.

Then he asked, "Did that girl from the Xue family come to you today?"

Yan Yu nodded and said, "Sister Xue is here, and it just so happens that my father and I went back to the village and were not at home."

Wang Deshan: "It's not a good thing to do, our things are not blowing in the wind, the princess wants to raise donations, and there are those big families who support us, if we don't make do with it, what good things can't fall on us, in case something goes wrong, it's easy to take the blame for others."

Otherwise, she is a godfather, she understands things, and lives transparently.

"How many days shall I go out and hide? It just so happens that the village is now building houses, and it is too busy to open." Yan Yu said.

"It's not necessary to be like this, it's not good to be too deliberate, you should do what you want, our own things, if you don't want to do it, we don't want to hit Hanhu, we don't want to, who can force it, there is a godmaster, I think who dares!"

"Godfather!" Yan Yu coquettishly said to the princess: "If you weren't here, we would be blind about this matter, and we don't know the bottom of our hearts, but what do people say, hehe!" Godmaster is my backer, I have the confidence to say no!"

Wang Deshan squinted his eyes and nodded at her little brain: "You little goblin can still suffer?!" But you're right, we don't want to bully others, and others don't want to bully us, the godmaster is still here, and no one wants to calculate our little two."

He turned his gaze to look at Yan Laoer.

"Huai'an, how are you reading lately? Can you still go to Master Cheng's house to ask for articles?"

Yan Lao Er was stunned, didn't you hear it just now, you have been busy in the village recently, and you will never just remember when you see the sky running back and forth

Godgranddaughter, forget her father who goes back and forth with Xiao Er every day.

"Don't slack off in your homework, the day of the county exam is getting closer and closer, and it's just around the corner......," Wang De kindly pointed out.

If you don't say it, it has to be Yan Yu.

The response is amazing!

"Godmaster, the county test won't be advanced, right?"

Yan Laoer's eyes widened.

Wang Deshan hummed as if he didn't have anything, picked up the bowl again, and took a sip of water.

This is unmistakable and explicit!

"Dad, then don't be busy, hurry up and prepare for the exam!" Yan Yu hurriedly said, "From tomorrow onwards, I will still go to Master Cheng's house to study, you can just live there, hey, this is not a few days......

That's right, Dad! Shi Gong didn't say that he needed to avoid suspicion, and he wanted to ask Gu Fengcheng's eldest master to replace him with the invigilator, he went to Gu Feng, and the eldest master came to take the exam, and the exam was going to be taken soon, why didn't the master send us a message......

Yan Yu blinked and looked at her godfather.

Her godfather continued to look at her with a smile.

Got it.

This is just decided, and it is self-evident who set it, except for the godfather, I am afraid that there are few people who know.

Yan Yu smiled.

Wang Deshan couldn't help laughing when he saw her little appearance.

"The snow disaster is plagued, and there are too many people reported to be affected by the disaster from all over the country, and the prince is so worried that he can't eat, no, it's just the small pickles made by your family, and the prince can barely eat a few bites."

Yan Yu glanced at her father.

The father and daughter had a tacit understanding, and Yan Lao Er understood it and went out under the pretext of pretending to be pickles.

"Godmaster, why is it half a month in advance?" Yan Yu asked tentatively.

Wang Deshan will not hide his good grandson from anyone, and he doesn't say that he is always cautious in front of Yan Laoer.

In fact, since others came, they just informed the matter in advance, so that Yan Lao Er could prepare well for the exam.

"There is not enough manpower, and the adults above sit in the official office, and they can't leave it, and there is a shortage of people who run errands at the bottom."

"Isn't there a servant?"

"The three classes of officials are all counted, how many people are there, besides, there is a shortage of people who can write and calculate, those big and coarse, I don't know a few big characters, and the list posted out, if you don't rely on your back, you can't read it."

Wang Deshan said: "Whether it is after the county test in February, or the county test before February, is not a matter of the prince's words.

If we don't hold this one, the scholars will all study hard at home, and where can we find someone to go to, it will be difficult to give people a boost to work, and not let people concentrate on preparing for the exam."

Yan Yu understood.

Special treatment for special periods.

The imperial court opened the test to select talents.

If the prince wants to use it, he chooses what to do in advance.

"Godmaster." Yan Yu lowered his voice: "It's a practical choice...... If you know how to do arithmetic, will there be some emphasis on arithmetic problems?"

Wang Deshan stretched out his hand and rarely touched his good grandson's little head.

Look at how this little head grows, why is it so clever!

"Let your father prepare well, this is God borrowing his east wind, and the county will try to go to the hospital...... Whether you can take advantage of the wind and make a name for yourself depends on this experience."

……

Sending her godfather away, Yan Yu hurriedly pulled her father back to the house.

"Mother, just *** master came, say ......" Yan Yu crackled and learned again.

Without stopping his breath, he said, "I think there is still something in the godfather's words, I'm afraid this time it's not just the county test...... Even the hospital exam will be advanced.

Since he is sympathetic to the scholars and does not want to interrupt them in the middle of the preparation, it is very likely that all the exams will be advanced ......

The dust has settled.

It should be a show to show talents, it should be a child, and it should be a child, and those who fall off the list will be on the list......

In this way, people can no longer worry about other things and do things with peace of mind.

Besides, as a prince, if he wants to employ people, he may not be able to see this level of childishness, and at least he has to be a showman."

[Use it for now, listen.]

The most complete and best app for book sounds, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it is an artifact that supports offline reading.

What Yan Yu didn't say was that Tong Sheng was not worth it to be her godfather to run in person, just find someone to send a message.

Didn't the godmaster say it, this is the east wind that God blew to her father, borrowing the wind to help and go straight to the clouds......

Li Xuemei thought about it seriously and said, "You're right, it should be so.

You asked an arithmetic question, and your godfather didn't say no, then most likely he guessed correctly."

She also looked at Yan Lao Er with bright eyes: "I'm afraid your father really wants to borrow this east wind this time!"

Yan Yu's eyes were also shining: "Dad! You're caught this time, and you'll come back without a show!"

Yan Lao Er looked at the two mothers who were staring at each other, and suddenly felt so stressed!

"What, as long as it's an exam, who can guarantee that they will pass, I'll try my best, I'll try my best!" Although God takes good care of him, but for exams, how can he pack tickets as a scumbag!

So suddenly, his head hasn't turned yet!

The things that I used to carry tightly in the past, now I think of a pulp lake.

Yan Lao Er's head began to sweat.

Yan Yu glanced at her mother,

The two of them frowned at the same time, worried.

Yan Yu was admitted from childhood to adulthood, and Li Xuemei did this business, and she knew best that the state of the candidates would directly affect her performance.

Looking at this, Yan Lao Er was not ready in his heart.

Knowing the letter in advance is not necessarily an advantage, and he is nervous a few days earlier than others......

"Daddy! Otherwise, you'll be at home for a few days to specialize in arithmetic." Yan Yu said solemnly: "If my estimate is not bad, this part of the score must not be less, and since I have to pick and choose, I don't need to read those ethereal articles, and we don't have to think about how to use words, how can you really write, don't be too vernacular."

Yan Lao Er was really diverted.

"Is that okay? Are you going to bet?"

Li Xuemei said in her heart, your daughter can't do anything else, and the exam is not average.

"You just listen to your daughter, what does the prince think about her godfather's touch, what does her godfather think about her touch."

Yan Lao Er nodded again and again.

The heart fell back into the stomach.
