"Then thank you Aunt Jiang, this is a deposit of two hundred taels, starting tomorrow, I will arrange someone to come to deliver the goods every day, and I hope that Aunt Jiang will prepare it in advance."

Shen Xingyuan gave a look, Fang Ju immediately took out two silver tickets of one hundred taels and put them on the wooden table, they found out clearly about the transaction between Chang'an Restaurant and the Lin family, first deposit and then pay the final payment, as long as Jiang Yan can deliver the goods on time, even if he gives the full amount in advance, he has no opinion.

Jiang Yan beckoned to Tao Bai, Tao Bai immediately prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone and brought it over, and Jiang Yan wrote a contract with the pen.

"Aunt Jiang, is your wine really out of stock?" Shen Xingyuan asked without giving up, there is not much wine flowing into the imperial city in Chang'an Restaurant, if it weren't for him as a prince, he might not be able to divide those two jars.

Jiang Yan put down the brush and pondered for a few seconds before saying: "If I am not satisfied with the fifth master, I still have a batch here, and I originally planned to keep it for the New Year, if the fifth master really can't wait for next year, this batch can be given to you first." ”

There are more wines, most of them are sold to Chang'an Restaurant, there are still three batches of goods left in the cellar, Jiang Yan originally planned to keep it for herself, since Huafanglou is so generous, she will naturally not let go if she can make money, and she can open the market in Linfang County as soon as possible.

Shen Xingyuan looked surprised, and the folding fan couldn't stop his surprised eyebrows, "Really!" ”

Jiang Yan bowed her head and smiled quite restrained and polite.

"Yes, yes, yes! I want it, and I'll send someone to pick up the goods tomorrow. ”

"No problem, I will have people prepare all the things tomorrow, and the fifth master will arrange for someone to come and pick up the goods."

Shen Xingyuan looked at Jiang Yan, who had a generous demeanor and a soft smile, and felt more and more that this person was not simple, "Aunt Jiang, of course you are just an ordinary peasant woman?" I can't believe that I know how to make wine, what strange and delicious food I can make, I can read and write, and even improve farm tools, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes today. ”

Moreover, what shocked him even more was not only these, but the patches of rice fields he saw when he entered the village, although he Shen Xingyuan was a petite young master who did not touch the spring water with ten fingers, he also ate grains and knew a good harvest.

The autumn harvest in this area of Linfang County has long passed, and the taxes have been collected, but Linjia Village is still a rice field, and when the wind blows, the golden rice in the field sways with the wind.

Shen Xingyuan looked at it casually, but those fox eyes stared at Jiang Yan's face for a moment, for fear of missing the slightest fluctuation in her expression.

But Jiang Yan's face, not to mention emotional fluctuations, even the curvature of the corners of her mouth has not changed, and it is still a standard smile with eight teeth, "It's not strange that the peasant family will make some food, I just like to study these more than ordinary people, and making wine is just due to an accident, as for improving farm tools, it is the function of several children in the family, and the peasant woman does not dare to take credit." ”

Jiang Yan pursed her lips and continued: "The peasant woman knows how to read and hyphenate, and it is also because the children who are studying at home follow the children to study hard, and over time they will understand a few words. ”

As early as when she was guiding Jiang Wen and the Lin family brothers to draw drawings, she thought that there would be such a day, a peasant woman knew too much, and she couldn't make any big waves in a small Lin family village.

"Aunt Jiang, as far as I know, the autumn harvest in Linfang County has passed, the taxes have been collected, and Linjia Village should be no exception, I don't know why, on the way to the shopkeeper of the same party, I also saw patches of rice?" And it was growing so well, even in other areas where there was no drought, that he had never seen such a fruitful harvest.

Jiang Yan still had that demeanor, and said calmly: "In the past few years, there has been little drought and rain, and the harvest in our place is not very good, and the fifth master must also know in Huafanglou that after the autumn harvest every year, there are many people who starve to death, so I thought about a variety of late rice in one season, and I just tried it, but I didn't expect the harvest to be better than I imagined." ”

！！

Rice! Why didn't the imperial court hear from it?

Shen Xingyuan's face flashed with doubts, the imperial court only received the news that the drought in the north and south was serious and the number of refugees was increasing day by day, but it had never received the news of planting late rice in Linjia Village, it seemed that the county order in this place was not a practical thing!

Thinking of this, the anger on Shen Xingyuan's face gradually increased, he came all the way from the imperial city, just seeing the people starving to death didn't know how many, if the people all planted this season of late rice, then there would be people starving to death!

"The county order of Linfang County is leisurely, and I don't even know such a major event as planting late rice, otherwise, there will be so many people who are wandering and hungry!"

Jiang Yan listened to his angry tone, and guessed that he should have misunderstood, "The county magistrate of our county knows about late rice, and it is also because of his approval, and all the people in the village have planted it, but after all, late rice is the first attempt, and it is not yet known whether it will succeed or not, and our Linjia Village is also an example, and now that it is successful, the people can refer to it in the coming year." ”

The deep eyes looked directly at Jiang Yan without shying away from it, Shen Xingyuan saw that the other party was still calm and calm, and he didn't see the slightest change in color, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but speak: "Aunt Jiang, are you willing to submit to me?" Presumably you also know that Huafanglou is not an ordinary restaurant, the force behind it is the imperial court, you might as well tell you that the party I am loyal to must one day be the most honorable person in this Dahua Dynasty, you join now, I will give you the best treatment, if you want, I can also send you to the imperial city to take office. ”

He intuitively felt that Jiang Yan was not an ordinary person, if he could be taken under his command, it would only be good for him and no harm would be harmful, such as this late rice, although he came a little late, and there was no way to stop this credit, but to recruit Jiang Yan, not only could he be stained, but even the prince could be stained with it.

Grain is the lifeblood of the people, and the people are the foundation of the country, only the fundamental stability, the country can be peaceful and strong, most of the Dahua Dynasty has a season of rice a year, even a barren mountain village like Linjia Village can grow late rice, you can imagine what kind of sensation it will be if the success of late rice is transmitted back to the imperial court.

And his task is to bring Aunt Jiang under his command before the imperial city receives this news!

Jiang Yan frowned slightly, and her eyes fell on Shen Xingyuan, the other party's words were almost obvious that he was a member of the imperial court, and the party he was loyal to was still the Ninety-Five Emperor who would definitely ascend to the throne in the future.

Going to the Imperial City to take up a position or joining Huafanglou is a great temptation for ordinary people, but it is a shackle for Jiang Yan, but now she can't guess the identity of this "fifth master", she doesn't dare to blindly refuse.
