Chapter 271: Q&A
Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile: "Didn't Shopkeeper Shen ask before?" Why is Equinox County so poor? That must be from this point, the spring equinox county is poor, but not only the county order is affected, but the people are more affected. ”
"If Lord Zhao is a good official who is dedicated to the people, even if it is for the sake of the people, he has to agree to the request of the shopkeeper Shen, and even if he doesn't agree, then he has to be entangled."
"If he is not a good official who is dedicated to the people, but is dedicated to moving up for the sake of wanting to transfer out of the small place of the vernal equinox county, then he has to make some political achievements."
Shopkeeper Wang shook his head and said.
"Let the Spring Equinox County become rich and collect more taxes, then even if it is a political achievement, he has to weigh the proposal of the shopkeeper Shen, do you think so, why is the Spring Equinox County so poor? Isn't it because there are no businessmen there to revitalize business? ”
"If no one does business, money will not circulate, and if money is not circulated, then no one will do business, a vicious circle, but if Lei Gong Express sets up the docks on the water and on the road, does it need to recruit people to work? If the people have a job, then they will have money, and what will they do when they have money? Of course it has to be spent! ”
Stretching out his fingers, the shopkeeper Wang gave examples one by one.
"What should not cost money on food, clothing, housing, transportation, and medical treatment? As soon as the local people have a lot of money, naturally some people will go there to do business, no matter how big or small the business is, but if they can earn three melons and two dates, slowly, the business of this spring equinox county will rise, and the people's lives will not be better? ”
Shopkeeper Wang said a lot at once, and when it came to the back, he couldn't hold it anymore.
Shopkeeper Cui's eyes became brighter and brighter when he listened, yes, why didn't he think about it from this perspective at the beginning.
Every time I think about it, as long as I think that Lord Zhao is an old-fashioned person, I feel that this is definitely an impenetrable bone, and it is useless to go there to do business.
But now that I think about it, even if Lord Zhao is really an old-fashioned person, he is also a person, and people have seven emotions and six desires.
He has to do something when he becomes an official, right?
Either the name, or the profit, nothing, just there? Not really.
Shopkeeper Cui felt that he also had a little confidence, Shopkeeper Wang could say these words, that Shopkeeper Shen, who was more powerful than Shopkeeper Wang, would he think more and be more thoughtful?
Now that there is an entry point, the difficulty is that it is difficult, how to make Lord Zhao relax, after all, even if there is a point that makes Lord Zhao's heart move, it has to be negotiated.
Otherwise, if Lord Zhao opens his mouth, when the business starts, he will directly collect ninety percent of their taxes, which will also work for Lord Zhao and the imperial court.
They can't make a fortune on their own.
At this level, it depends on how to divide the meat.
Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Cui began to have a bitter face again, in case Lord Zhao opened his mouth and insisted on taking the lead, Shopkeeper Shen and Shopkeeper Wang gritted their teeth and agreed, didn't he even drink the broth?
Looking at Shopkeeper Cui, whose expression was unpredictable, Shopkeeper Wang was too lazy to talk, anyway, whether it succeeds or not, we will see tomorrow.
He was full of confidence in Shopkeeper Shen, and even began to imagine what he should do when he took down the dock in Spring Equinox County?
……
When Huang Ying'er and Aunt Huang returned to the village, it was already late, but they could still see the road clearly.
However, this time the two did not make as high-profile as before, but were very low-key, and even deliberately avoided the villagers to rush home.
But as they rode in the carriage, some of the villagers saw them and greeted them, but neither of them pretended not to hear or see.
For a while, it caused a lot of dissatisfaction among many people, and they were complaining that these two people are now flying on the branches and becoming phoenixes, and they have begun to dislike them, the villagers, and have no conscience.
If it was before, Aunt Huang would have to go out and quarrel with them no matter what, but today she was really tortured by the Lu family.
Especially Mama Qiu, when Aunt Huang thought of it, she hated it so much, and took them to almost the entire county, the streets and alleys were all gone, Mama Qiu was tired and out of breath when she didn't take anything, not to mention that they were still carrying a lot of things.
I didn't let them go along the way, and if I let it go, it was insincere, knowing that the other party was deliberately tossing, and wanted to give them a horse, but unfortunately the two didn't have any confidence to call the board, so they could only endure it.
The result of enduring a day is that I was carrying things, not to mention the soreness all over my body, and the soles of my feet were blistered.
So they really didn't mean not to talk to the villagers, they really didn't have the strength to speak.
When she just got off the carriage, Aunt Huang's feet were weak, and she almost fell, but fortunately she was pulled by Huang Ying'er, otherwise this new dress would be wrapped in a layer of mud.
"Mother, be careful, when you go to the capital in the future, you can't do this kind of embarrassing thing again, you haven't seen that Mama Qiu is particular about walking, you can fall on the flat ground, and when you go to the capital in the future, if you look foreign in front of everyone, I still have to be ashamed?"
Hearing her daughter's complaints, Aunt Huang was angry and aggrieved, watching the carriage go away, she couldn't suppress her anger, and directly pulled her daughter into the house, and broke out as soon as she slammed the yard door.
"You stinky girl, old lady, I pulled you up, is it easy for me? Now that I'm the eldest lady, I don't want to recognize me as a mother, and I dare to teach me a lesson, and today's situation, can't you see it? What did you mother and I get tossed into by that slave? ”
"You, who are the eldest lady, don't know how to come forward to say a few words for me, you don't even know how to maintain yourself, you still want to save face, we are now being led by the nose by a slave, what face can you have? You didn't see the eyes of those maids looking at you, people looked at Mama Qiu more respectfully than you! ”
After Aunt Huang finished speaking, she wanted to sit on the ground and cry in the next second.
Huang Ying'er had a dark face, pulled a handful and said, "If you dare to splash and roll, don't follow me to the capital!" ”
After speaking, he snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves and went directly into the house.
Aunt Huang froze in place, grinding her teeth for a while, in the end, she was still afraid that her daughter would leave her, so she could only follow in hatefully.
"Ying'er, mother, I'm just complaining, I'm not upset for you, look at that Mama Qiu, just a minion, how dare you treat you like this, just treat me as a wet nurse, but why did Mama Qiu treat you like this?"
"Even if you are a country girl now, don't you already have the identity of the eldest lady of Pingbo Houfu? If you want me to say, you have to give that Mama Qiu some color to see, and she can't do anything to you, as long as you don't offend the Lu family. ”
As Aunt Huang spoke, she sat down on the chair, and when she sat down, she only felt comfortable.
It's a pity that after a while of being comfortable, they feel soreness everywhere on their bodies, they have to pack their things today, and they have to follow back to the capital tomorrow, and they don't know how many sins they will suffer along the way.
The mother and daughter have never been far away, and they are still a little uneasy in their hearts, of course, more in anticipation.
After all, this time they are not going to endure hardships, but to be masters, and their mood is naturally different.
Aunt Huang saw that her daughter's expression softened a little, and knew that she had said the right thing, and then wanted to ease the relationship back and continue.
"Daughter, don't worry, we haven't shown up in front of those big people yet, when you go to the capital and become a righteous eldest lady, then clean up that Mama Qiu, if you want to come to the Lu family, it is impossible to do anything to you because of a slave."
"After all, they are from big families, but they have to be faced, in terms of identity, you are the daughter of the Lu family, no matter how close Mama Qiu is, she is also a slave, so we just need to get through this time."
"And that He Qiumei, when you become the eldest lady, hurry up and clean her up, lest she always threaten you with that letter, and Shen Yingniang......"
Aunt Huang crackled, and suddenly pulled the topic to He Qiumei and Shen Yingniang, at the beginning, it made a little sense, and then it was a simple insult, venting the anger she suffered today, and she didn't notice Huang Ying'er's increasingly uneasy look.
Finally, just when Aunt Huang was talking more and more energetic, and she was already thinking about how to kill Shen Yingniang, Huang Ying'er stood up all of a sudden, startling Aunt Huang.
"What are you doing?"
Aunt Huang looked at her startled daughter, a little overwhelmed, could it be that she said the wrong thing again?
Huang Ying'er stared at Aunt Huang with a little cold eyes and said.
"If I don't figure this out, I'm not happy! The words He Qiumei said to me were just her words, she did tell me about it, and Shen Yingniang didn't know. ”
"But what if He Qiumei, a slut, eats at both ends, threatens me, and at the same time goes to tell Shen Yingniang, and even asks Shen Yingniang for silver, then what should I do? In case Shen Yingniang knows about this matter, can I still become the eldest lady of Pingbo Houfu? ”
Huang Ying'er was a little worried about this, if the opponent was someone else, she would not be so afraid, but she had fought with Shen Yingniang so many times, and she had been defeated repeatedly, anyway, she had never once bargained from Shen Yingniang.
The position of the eldest lady of Pingbo Houfu, the four of them are greedy, Shen Yingniang must be no exception, if Shen Yingniang knows, then how can she sit firmly?
Shen Yingniang definitely has a way to drag herself down from this position, so before that, she has to figure this out.
To ask He Qiumei, of course, is a method, but if He Qiumei's little slut doesn't tell the truth, or even suddenly changes her mind, and really goes to Shen Yingniang, won't it be self-defeating?
So Huang Ying'er decided, she was going to find Shen Yingniang!
Of course, she won't say it directly, but she will be tempted, if Shen Yingniang knew that she might be the lost eldest lady in Pingbo Houfu, she would definitely react.
Aunt Huang listened to Huang Ying'er's thoughts, and immediately stopped: "No, we are about to leave for the capital, you go to Shen Yingniang at this time, isn't it okay to find trouble?" You yourself have told me not to get into trouble lately, this is about to set off, but you yourself are messing around, this thing is absolutely not okay. ”
Aunt Huang reacted very strongly, she didn't want her good life to be ruined by her daughter.
In the past, Huang Ying'er might still be able to listen to Aunt Huang's words, but now, when Huang Ying'er came into contact with the Lu family and Mama Qiu, she felt more and more that her mother had no brains and no knowledge.
Looking at it from such a disgusting perspective, she naturally wouldn't take Aunt Huang's words seriously, so Huang Yinger directly expressed her thoughts.
"Mother, I have made up my mind about this matter, if I don't solve this doubt, even if I go to the capital, I can't rest assured, in case Shen Yingniang knows about it and jumps out at a critical moment to make trouble, what should I do?"
"I'll inquire first, so I'll be mentally prepared, if Shen Yingniang doesn't know, then we'll solve He Qiumei as soon as possible."
