Yan Yu originally wanted to ride a donkey, but her master felt sorry for her and would not allow her, so she had to squeeze into a small carriage with her master and father.
The donkey was tied to the cart and ran along with it. The speed was not fast, much slower than when she came.
Swaying like this, Yan Yu originally loved to be sleepy, but this carriage can't absorb the shock, and the bumps all the way, but the more she sits, the more energetic she is.
In the car, Shigong explained the reason for going to Fucheng.
"...Didn't you read it all when you went to the countryside to collect grain? The grain tax in Fucheng is even worse. Those over-collected grains are not in the account and will be disposed of privately." When Master Tian talked about this matter, his tone Very bland.
"Filling in your own pocket?" Yan Lao Er asked.
Master Tian calmly said: "Guanzhou is not a bad place. It only grows one season of grain a year. It has a small population and a lot of wasteland. The annual grain tax collected is limited, which is far worse than other big prefectures.
Do you still remember that I once told you that if you don’t compete for the first place this year, there are ways to make Fucheng less expensive? "
Yan Er Er: "Remember."
In the barn that day, facing the full grain, the teacher's happy face is still in front of my eyes.
"There is surplus food in Fucheng, but I am short of food, so I buy it." This is the inspiration that Grand Master Tian got from Lao Er Yan.
He was never a pedantic person.
Doing things is more important than results.
"Because it is a private resale, the price will definitely be lowered by the grain dealer. The teacher originally wanted to buy it at a slightly higher price. He can not only buy the grain below the market price, but also take the opportunity to prevent the other party from embarrassing the tiger to pay the grain.
The three border towns of Huju, Longxing, and Fengming have far less grain production than Gufeng and Changping. If we follow this method, we will spend less. For them, raising the price of grain will make more profits. "
Yan's second child and Yan Yu's father and daughter are both quick to settle accounts.
I understood in an instant.
Leaving aside the right and wrong of those people stealing food, from the perspective of the transaction itself, it is a win-win situation, and everyone is happy.
The tigers can save some money when they pay the food, and buy the food at a low price.
Although those people took less money from Huju, the unit price of food has increased.
Another advantage is that when the food is in the hands of Huju, if the people are short of food, it is very likely that the food will be sold at a flat rate, or even at a loss.
It is much stronger than in the hands of grain merchants.
"The yamen treasury isn't empty now, it's almost the same. I can think about it, but I still want to buy this grain. During this trip to Fucheng, you and I will split up and find a way to raise money for the teacher. You and them Contact one or two, if you can get it at the original price, that's the best, if not, it's acceptable to add some less." Master Tian said.
Yan's second child: "Teacher, can I go? They must be very careful about such a secret matter, what if they don't sell me?"
This kind of business must be supported by both parties. Although he is a stranger, but he came with the teacher, he probably can't hide it. If people find out, he might not dare to sell it.
"Hu Ju was robbed of the barn this year, and everyone in Guanzhou knows it. If they don't sell it, they will stab their business in front of the prince as a teacher, and see who has no face!" Mr. Tian said harshly.
…
When approaching Dashiqiao, Yan Yu rode a donkey home first.
Tell her mother that she will definitely not be able to come back tonight when she went to Fucheng with her master and father, and it is hard to say even tomorrow night.
Li Xuemei heard the reason, thought about it, and gave fifty taels to her daughter.
"This is the fifty taels your father left with me. You bring it to your father. If your master can't make up the money, let him figure it out."
Seeing her daughter hesitantly accepting the money and leaving the hospital on her donkey, Li Xuemei looked away from the window, added a piece of clothing for herself, picked up the land deed, and walked slowly towards Qi's house.
The yard of the Qi family is always busy.
"Miss Yan Er." Seeing her coming, old man Kang was inexplicably surprised, and greeted her with the things in his hand.
"The old man has changed it, and the second lady Yan can't use it?"
Li Xuemei's eyes burst out with joy.
While listening to the other party's explanation of the subtleties, compare them carefully one by one.
"Great job, thank you for your hard work."
is a capable old man.
"I can't wait for Mrs. Yan to say your name, and I will be taken care of by your village. I will do my best, and I will do my best." Old man Kang smiled until the wrinkles on his face bloomed.
…
Yan Yu caught up with the carriage, but did not go back into the carriage, maintaining the state of following outside.
Master Tian saw that the child really didn't want to sit in the car, so he gave up, and only told her to wrap herself up well, so as not to blow the cold wind.
The group finally arrived at Yongning City.
The groom negotiated with the officials guarding the city. Mr. Tian opened the curtain and nodded to the inspectors outside. When the latter saw the official robes, they immediately let them go.
Master Tian was still joking with interest at this time: "Look at the official robes of the teacher, you can see it from the front, and there is a big hole in the back."
He turned his back to show Yan Er Er.
Yan Laoer was extremely embarrassed, and argued strongly: "Didn't the situation be critical at that time, I didn't expect this."
Master Tian laughed: "I don't blame you for being a teacher."
"I'll buy you a new one in the future." Second Yan added.
"No, just this one is fine." Master Tian smiled meaningfully: "No matter who it is, just take a look at it, and you will know that the teacher is the master of Hu Ju, and you can't fake it."
Master Tian entered the city and first found an inn to stay.
He took Yan's second child with him, not only to teach him his homework, but also these rules of conduct.
After settling down, he said to him: "It's getting late today, go to the government office tomorrow morning, and then go to the palace, it will take half a day, pay more attention when you go to the government office, see if you can talk to anyone. "
Yan Er Er asked: "Teacher, why don't we go to the palace first?"
Master Tian shook his head: "Guanzhou is a feudal city of the King of England, but as a teacher, he is an official appointed by the imperial court first, and then a subordinate of the King of England. Therefore, you must first go to the government office to meet the government official."
"Let Xiao Er prepare hot water for the teacher to take a bath later." Elder Tian was afraid that his disciple would go in without knowing it, and explained: "When you meet the superior and the prince, you need to be well-groomed, and you will also go back to the room to wash later. "
"Teacher, why do we live in the inn?" Yan Laoer actually wanted to ask, why don't we go home? Didn't it say that the teacher's wife is in Fucheng?
"This time I came here for official business, first public and then private." Mr. Tian said briefly.
Yan's second child is really convinced, is it so formalistic? You obviously have a home, but you can't go back? Living in an inn is a waste of money, alas!
Back in the room, his daughter was looking down from the window.
"What are you looking at?"
Yan Yu closed the window in disappointment.
"I want to see if there is a night market or something."
"Have it?"
"No, the hawkers are closing their stalls, and the shops are also closed."
"Are you hungry? Let the store get you some food first, so we can fill our stomachs." Second Yan said.
Yan Yu nodded and asked him: "Father, why do you want to stay in a hotel? It's a waste of money. Why not stay at our house? Get up early and save money without delaying anything."
Yan Er Er said what Mr. Tian said just now.
Yan Yu pinned it again, frowned and said: "Why does it feel like Master is planning something?"
