"This inventory can only hold a maximum of ten wagons, which is too little." Li Chengyi shook his head, not very satisfied with this inventory.

Shopkeeper Ding didn't expect Li Chengyi to ask for such a large amount of snowflake salt, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and explained: "Fourth master, you are your own family, you can't hide it, Captain Fang only sent dozens of trucks of salt back a few days ago, and the reason why there is only this little inventory left is because the steward of the Chen family pulled away more than 20 carts yesterday. ”

"The Chen family? The Chen family you are talking about is the Chen family of the three giants of Fucheng? ”

Shopkeeper Ding nodded: "Yes, it's their house." The eldest young master of the Chen family has a unique vision, and within a few days of the opening of our salt shop, he began to sell snowflake salt. ”

“.” When Li Chengyi heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked, sure enough, there are many smart people in the world, especially these families who have been immersed in the business sea for generations, and the slightest smell of copper is like seeing a fishy cat.

But then again, to be honest, Li Chengyi admires this Young Master Chen very much, he really has a very sensitive sense of smell.

He still thought that he was the first local to react, but he never thought that there were people outside the world, and there were heavens outside the sky.

But he is not slow to react, so it is even more important to make a fortune before others react.

"Shopkeeper Ding, this time the master went out with at least two thousand soldiers, divided into four teams, and the money you earned from giving me this little salt is not enough for the expenses on the road. Honestly, how long will it take for the next batch of salt to arrive? ”

Shopkeeper Ding was startled when he heard his plan, "Fourth Master, does she know that you are such a generous princess?" ”

A convoy of five hundred people is at least a hundred horse-drawn carriages and more than 100,000 catties of snowflake salt. Four teams are six or seven hundred thousand catties!

Hiss!

It's scary!

Fourth master, does he know in his heart?

Such a large number of salt sellers went out, not to mention whether the fourth master had the ability to pull it away, but to say that the silver in the settlement was a huge amount of money.

Li Chengyi waved his hand, "Salt, you help me prepare it first, and I'll discuss this matter with my mother when I turn around." ”

Shopkeeper Ding put his mind at ease, as long as the princess knew about this and agreed, he had nothing to scruple about, and he was not afraid of credit.

"Fourth master, don't worry, the little one is ready first, and when we get the princess's letter, we will arrange for you to pull the salt."

Li Chengyi responded and left the salt shop.

He has been in the capital circle for many years, and he knows too well how to judge the situation.

As for face, it is a matter of personal honor and disgrace.

Under normal circumstances, he still cares about face, unless there are some extreme circumstances, such as struggling to survive in the cracks, face and silver, he will not hesitate to choose silver.

After all, the face is not a good thing to eat and drink, and in real life, it is still possible to mix some silver, and it is difficult to move an inch without silver, and no one will buy his account.

Xia Jing tried to design the washroom, thinking about whether the septic tank could be transformed into a biogas digester by the way. The high temperature in Lingnan is more suitable for the fermentation of biogas digesters.

If it can be converted into a biogas digester, then the small kitchen in her own yard will no longer need to burn firewood, which is clean and hygienic and convenient.

Speaking of this biogas digester, Xia Jing remembered the fermented residue in the digester, that is, the discharge, which can be used as fertilizer for crops.

They opened up a lot of land in Lingnan, and it was the time when they needed a lot of fertilizer.

Xia Jing was about to write these down, and Hongmei came in to report, "Princess, the fourth master came to greet you, and you are outside at this time." ”

"The fourth is here?" Xia Jing's writing hand paused slightly, "Let him come in." ”

I just don't know what happened to this kid?

Hongmei went out for a moment and led Li Chengyi in slowly.

"My son has asked his mother to say goodbye, how is my mother doing recently?"

Xia Jing put down her pen and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about it, everything is fine with this concubine." ”

"That's good."

Li Chengyi smiled and found a place to sit down, took the wet handkerchief handed by Hongmei, wiped his face and hands, and drank a bowl of mung bean soup before feeling cool.

"The weather in Lingnan is really hot, and it's really hard for people to adapt to it when they first arrive, but it's still comfortable for the mother concubine."

Xia Jing listened to his words, glanced at the ice basin in the corner, and asked with a chuckle: "You didn't come to me just to give some discounts when you want to buy ice, right?" ”

It's impossible to be exempt anyway.

She earned money to support slaves, tenants, and guards.

Li Chengyi raised his eyebrows and said happily: "It would be best if the mother concubine could give a discount, but this time my son has other things to discuss with you." ”

"Oh?"

Xia Jing was surprised that this Wang Fuqing was better than blue, and what could she discuss with her today.

"Here's the thing."

Li Chengyi talked about his current predicament, and then talked about his plan.

"It's true that you want to make a fortune while there are not many snowflake salt merchants, but have you ever wondered where so many carriages come from in Lingnan? I don't think you could hire hundreds of carriages even if you went around the whole city. ”

When the palace came to Lingnan, it brought a lot of carriages, but it was unrealistic to mobilize them all for him.

Because the affairs of the palace also need carriages.

"That's right." Li Chengyi inevitably felt a little regretful when he heard this, this was the first time in his life that he had the idea of working hard, but it seemed that the result was not satisfactory.

But let him give up and be a little unwilling, the reason why he became a gentleman is entirely because there is a foundation for becoming a gentleman.

Now each room is responsible for its own additional expenses, and he still has a team of 2,000 soldiers and horses to raise, and the reality forces him to face the reality.

"It's a little unwilling to give up on me, can the mother have other ways to get the best of both worlds?"

Xia Jing pondered for a while and said, "The first time you travel with a caravan, I suggest that you try to find as many carriages as you can. If you find only half the number of wagons, you have half of them go out to escort the convoy to the merchants, and the rest stay in the barracks to train.

In this way, in the end, the whole team can make money and train without mistakes, and the quality of the army has improved, and the problem of your money and food has been solved. ”

"Good, that's a good idea!"

Li Chengyi discussed it here, and rushed back non-stop to discuss the specific implementation rules with the steward.

Hongmei sent Li Chengyi away, returned to the room, and asked uneasily: "Princess, outsiders go to the salt shop to buy goods are settled in cash, and the fourth master enters so much salt, don't you let him pay half of the payment first?" ”

Xia Jing looked up at her and asked rhetorically, "Do you think he has the money to pay for the goods?" ”

"This" Hongmei hesitated a little, the fourth room is a concubine, and the assets are definitely not as good as the big house and the second room, and she doesn't know if the fourth room has so much cash in her hands?

At this time, Xia Jing spoke again, "Actually, he ran a business, and he can settle the arrears after he comes back, and the benefits of selling snowflake salt are huge, and I forgive him that he will not give up such a big piece of fat for the sake of immediate benefits." ”

The shopkeeper Ding will control the amount he wants, and every time he gives credit, he has to settle it every time he comes back, and those who don't settle it will cancel the cooperation.

With this alone, Li Chengyi will not be stupid to beat her autumn wind.

Hongmei heard Xia Jing say this, and the stone in her heart fell to the ground.

Xia Jing sent someone to the salt shop to convey her meaning, and the follow-up transaction with Li Chengyi was naturally arranged by the shopkeeper Ding.

And she naturally focused her energy on her own dozen hectares of wasteland.

In fact, with the wasteland of Xiaowu Li Chengmu, the mother and son are almost nearly 30 hectares of wasteland.

It will take a lot of work to reclaim it all.

It is more difficult to raise it when it is opened, but fortunately, the fertile land is slowly fattened, and they can only be more patient in farming.

However, the houses and some facilities in the Grange had to be built first.

Xia Jing wants to build an ecological farm, and the wasteland is reclaimed to build paddy fields with good water sources, the thick soil layer is used as dry land, and other stones and sand are used to plant fruit trees or build livestock sheds.

In general, the specific rules can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

——

Thundered!

Thunder exploded!

Jiankang, whether it was a dignitary or an ordinary person, was awakened by the thunder.

Hua Shaojin sat up from the bed.

The night watchman asked, "Master, are you going to get up at night?" ”

Hua Shaojin didn't answer the little guy's question, but eagerly wanted to confirm, "Is it thundering and raining outside?" ”

"Back to the master, yes, it's pouring rain outside, and the corridor outside is full of rain." The little guy thought he was thinking about the night, and explained: "Fortunately, before the rain fell, the little one brought the Gong bucket in, and if the old man remembered the night, the little one helped you go to the bathroom to solve it." ”

Hua Shaojin's brows furrowed tightly, and he let the little guy hold the lamp, "Now is the critical moment for the rice to set ears, why can't the sky be sunny for a few days?" ”

The little guy echoed while holding the lamp: "Who said no, these days, this day is like someone poked a hole, and the heavy rain has not stopped." ”

The hearts of the master and servant were heavy.

The sound of wind, rain, and thunder outside is intertwined, and in the dark night, it makes people feel panic for no reason.

I couldn't sleep for a while, Hua Shaojin thought in his mind that in a few days, the water on the desk would be broken, and he would not be able to pile it up again.

In fact, as early as the first half of the month, the flood in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River had reached its peak.

Seven or eight days ago, a small section of the Yellow River could not withstand the pressure of floods, and two sections of the river embankment had been washed away, forming a gap, and the flood was overflowing, and the disaster was severe.

It's just that their civil officials proposed to allocate funds for disaster relief and release grain to resettle the victims, but the matter got stuck at the head of the household.

Tobe Shangshu cried poorly, saying that the warehouses of Tobe were clean enough to allow rats to engage in sports leagues.

Jiangshan belonged to the Li royal family, and in the end, there was no way, so the new emperor was forced to allocate a disaster relief fund from the inner treasury for disaster relief in the disaster area.

And the new emperor's intention is earmarked, and he is not at ease with who the silver is handed over.

Especially the officials of the outer court.

The new emperor wanted to send a special envoy to the disaster area to provide relief, but was rejected by the civilian officials.

The civil official group headed by Hua Shaojin, regardless of whether what the new emperor said was right or not, they did not allow the new emperor to let the inner court interfere in the affairs of the outer court.

The ideal emperor of the civil clique is the obedient emperor.

The new emperor is the tool person who specially seals after they make a decision, and they only need the new emperor's seal to confirm that they can proclaim the world after they have made a decision.

Hua Shaojin thought about it, and then remembered King Qian, who was sent to Lingnan by him.

Whether it is as a son and daughter-in-law, or as a left servant of the court, he is not optimistic about King Qian.

Thunderstorms also affected rebels in Yanzhou and Qingzhou.

The new emperor ordered Youzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, and the four-way coalition army launched a general attack on the rebels at the same time.

The battle, which was already in a stalemate, was broken by this continuous heavy rain.

The autumn harvest was still two or three months away in the north, and a general offensive against the rebels was launched in such a green season. Not to mention anything else, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses eat horses and chew horses, and the amount of grain and grass consumed every day is astronomical.

The grain and grass of the four-way alliance army is enough for the imperial court to drink a pot.

The general soldiers of the four routes asked the court for grain and silver, and even threatened the court with troops, and if they did not allocate food and silver, they would not send troops.

The song was sent to Jiankang, and there was another scene of dispute in the court.

The officials of all the forces in the court quarreled endlessly, the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the new emperor could only sit on the dragon chair and be anxious.

Because the civil servants do not unanimously agree to come up with a valid charter, it is difficult to arrange the next things.

The disaster relief needs money and food, and the rebels need money and food, and all the pressure is piled on the shoulders of the new emperor, and he is overwhelmed.

Sometimes late at night, he even wonders, is he really doing the right thing to fight for this throne?

"Daiyi, do you think I'm fit to sit in this position?"

Dai Yi, who was awakened by the thunder, stood by the dragon couch, he was originally the personal eunuch who served Emperor Huiyuan.

Just because of Emperor Huiyuan, he was left by the new emperor.

At this time, he lowered his head and replied expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, the heir to the throne of your ancestors, if you are not suitable to sit in this position, then who in the world has this qualification?" ”

"Since I sat in this position, I have been worrying about all kinds of things since I woke up every day, the court lacks this and that, those civil officials and nobles will look for me whenever they encounter something, since they are looking for me to solve things, then listen to me, but they always have their own ideas, they will overturn everything I advocate, do you think I deserve to be the emperor?"

Dai Yi bowed his head and was speechless, the emperor became a puppet of civil officials and nobles, not from this emperor, from the previous emperor.

It's just that the Dayu Dynasty has been inherited for 300 years, and the heritage is there, even if the unfilial children and grandchildren are defeated, they can also be defeated for dozens of hundreds of years.

Now that it has been passed down to the new emperor, all the drawbacks have been revealed.

To be honest, Dai Yi felt a little sympathy for him in his heart.

Fortunately, the new emperor didn't seem to want Dai Yi to answer, he said to himself: "The dynasty has been inherited for hundreds of years, how come it is that when I come here, the warehouse of the household department is so empty that it can run mice?" In the past few years, the tax revenue in various places has not come up, and if they don't find a way to solve it, they will only stare at my private treasury. ”

However, the emperor's private treasury is also limited, and if they stare at it a few more times, the emperor's private treasury may also be cleaned.

At that time, the emperor's treasury has no money and grain, and the treasury also has no money and grain, so where will the Dayu Dynasty go?

Dai Yi sighed in his heart, looking out of the dark window, "I'm afraid that this year's tax will be empty again, and not only will the tax not come up, but I will have to go out for disaster relief with money and grain." ”

The new emperor felt a sudden shock in his heart, and asked eagerly, "Companion, what should you do when you say that I am here?" ”

Dai Yi frowned and pondered for a long time before he sighed faintly, "You can't sit still, Your Majesty, it's really not possible, you can raid a few corrupt officials and use the money and food obtained from the raid to temporarily alleviate the current predicament of the imperial court." ”

A word to wake up the person in the dream, the new emperor heard this, his eyes seemed to suddenly open up, and the pressure in his heart dropped a lot.

"Haha. You're a good idea, I'll have you check it out to see who's the most greedy, catch a few examples, get through the current crisis for the time being, and everything will be better next year. ”
