When Xie Zhiyun got better, within two days, she was busy again.

Among the eight states, Linyan, which is located in the north, is a relatively famous cotton-producing area in the south, and every year in July, cloth merchants from North Vietnam and South Tran will flock to buy a large amount of cotton and go back for the winter.

In previous years, at this time, the Suguo Mansion was about to start preparing cotton silver.

Because in winter, in order to distribute cotton uniforms to the soldiers for the winter, it is necessary to buy a large amount of cotton in advance.

If the cotton is not enough, you have to go to Daqi to buy it again, which not only costs more, but also does not guarantee that you will be able to buy it.

This year, Wei Cang and Wei Ji didn't want to let Nan Chen and North Vietnam buy cotton at will, so they wanted to eat the whole cotton of Linyan, and then trade the cotton with Nan Chen and North Vietnam.

This can ensure the winter cotton clothes of the soldiers in the western suburbs, and also ensure that the people of Bazhou have winter cotton clothes, but it has a lot of pressure on the revenue of the government.

The Suguo Mansion didn't have that much money.

For the past few days, the family has been busy with this.

Xie Zhiyun is mainly responsible for taking inventory, calculating all the silver taels that can be taken at home, and then going to discuss the purchase of cotton later.

Ji Xiuxiu was also busy today.

Together with Cui Ji and Wei Ningshu, the four of them calculated together for a morning, and the final result was not ideal.

Xie Zhiyun rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the account book in his hand and said: "In this way, even if you take the antique calligraphy and paintings at home to discount, there is still a difference of six or seven percent, which is still calculated on the basis that the price of cotton has not risen." ”

Ji Xiuxiu looked at her, then went to see Cui Ji, and stopped talking a little.

Xie Zhiyun frowned slightly, and said, "Xiuxiu, what's wrong?" ”

We have lived together for so long, and we often do things together, and we know each other a lot.

Ji Xiuxiu heard her ask, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mother, eldest sister-in-law, my mother's side ......."

The Ji family must have money, but they don't have the money to do that.

Xie Zhiyun thought for a while: "You mean, the Ji family can take out about the remaining sixty percent?" ”

Ji Xiuxiu nodded, and shook her head again: "If we take it out, our living money in the second half of the year will be emptied, and the business is not good, so it is estimated that we will not be able to take out so much." ”

Xie Zhiyun looked at Cui Ji, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said: "Although the Ji family can come up with so much money, they can't let the Ji family make up for this shortfall, it's not a small amount, and your family can't use all the living money to fill it because of you, then the follow-up business will not be good." ”

Ji is a businessman, a businessman, and a businessman will not make a loss-making business.

Xie Zhiyun looked at Cui Ji: "Mother, I look at our account books in previous years, in addition to our own family, the powerful families of various state capitals also have to subscribe to a certain amount of army silver." ”

This money was not only used to buy cotton, but also to buy military rations, weave weapons, heal soldiers, and so on.

After so many years of operation, even if the western suburbs battalion has more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and the state capitals have about 20,000 state soldiers, the Wei family has not been dragged down in the end.

Because it was to raise the power of the eight states to support the soldiers, it was easier than that of North Vietnam.

Cui Ji said: "That's right, if you add the army silver of each family, we are probably forty percent behind." ”

These four achievements are the cotton sold to North Vietnam and South Tran in previous years.

Xie Zhiyun lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "Mother, Xiuxiu, I have an idea." ”

"The remaining sixty percent of the cotton silver will be subscribed by the powerful families of the eight states, and after the subscription, we may use forty percent of it to sell to North Vietnam, and the difference in the price from the sale will be regarded as their army silver."

"The rest of the overpaid part will be repaid according to the amount after the payment is received."

Ji Xiuxiu's eyes lit up all of a sudden, she was an old connoisseur, and she could hear the doorway inside.

"This is wonderful," Ji Xiuxiu said, "As long as you can return the oversubscribed army silver, this transaction will be profitable." In the end, it may be because of the difference in the price of this silver, and a lot of army silver is underpaid, which is a big expense for many families. ”

This plan works, the only problem is that it requires the owner's unconditional trust in Wei Cang.

If it is North Vietnam and Daqi, this deal will definitely not be negotiated, and the money will definitely not be taken back if it goes into the pockets of the royal family, but Wei Cang is different.

Cui Ji also quickly figured it out: "I can see this matter." ”

Thinking of a way, Cui Ji's complexion softened, and he also said a joke: "Your father is thick-skinned, and when the time comes, it's a big deal to let him go door to door and talk about it, and he will always ask for money." ”

Xie Zhiyun and Ji Xiuxiu both laughed, and even Wei Ningshu laughed too.

The most difficult thing has been solved, and the rest is to discuss how to subscribe, how to divide the account, and whether to write a contract, etc.

After five or six days of hurriing, the family finally figured out this account.

Taking advantage of the fact that the cotton was not yet ripe, Wei Cang was cheeky to issue this decree in advance, how much each household subscribed, the specific amount was clearly written, and those who were willing to subscribe would be handed over to the state capitals, and those who were unwilling could also refuse, and only pay the army silver.

With this arrangement, things immediately became in order.

In this busy day, with a flash of God's work, June arrived as scheduled.

Yezhou in June is hotter than in May, but this year there is more rain, and the rain is always endless, making the city of Yezhou more humid and sultry.

In June, Xie Zhiyun began to prepare the family's dress.

In another ten days, the king of Dingxi will move to Yezhou to settle down.

At that time, no matter what their hearts are, the Wei family will visit and participate in the so-called warm house banquet.

Since you have gone all, you should dress yourself up decently and not lose half of your face.

On this day, when the halberd came back in the evening, he was urged by Xie Zhiyun to measure the size, and when the embroidery girl left, he immediately took off his outer robe and only wore the short shirt inside.

The weather is too hot, and he is getting closer and closer to Xie Zhiyun, so he no longer holds the little grandfather's shelf, how comfortable he is in his own home.

Xie Zhiyun only wore a light gauze skirt and sat on the Luohan bed and shook the fan.

"Originally, when we were at home, the weather was too hot and we would use some ice, but now the family is nervous, and this summer is already hot, so it is not good to use it anymore."

Xie Zhiyun saw that the halberd was hot, so he asked people to open the window a little more and sit next to him to fan him.

"I'm thinking, cut you a military uniform, no more military uniforms. That's what Mother means. ”

The halberd doesn't like to wear official uniforms, and the wide-sleeved gown is really uncomfortable, but he also knows how to measure, and when he heard it, he said: "Listen to you." ”

The halberd said as he pushed her hand and asked her to fan herself.

"I'll sit for a while and I'll be quiet, don't be busy."

Xie Zhiyun smiled, and there was a little more tranquility between his eyebrows.

"Got it," she smiled, "the little grandfather is really considerate. ”
