Chapter 543 The Winter Wind is the East Wind (two chapters in one)
The amount of charcoal burned by each charcoal farm is similar, and the annual consumption of charcoal in Yongning City and even the surrounding cities is quite similar.
Even if they make a living by burning charcoal, they can see that this winter is a cold winter, and they have prepared more charcoal than in previous years, but they are still a little conservative, and only increased the amount by 30% on the basis of previous years.
Yan Yu and his group suddenly emerged and captured the bulk cargo market, and various charcoal yards suppressed some cargoes.
If it can’t be sold a year ago, the price will be reduced after that year, every year.
But no one expected that the heavy snow would fall for such a long time on New Year's Eve.
The twelfth lunar month is already cold enough. As soon as the first lunar month enters, the temperature drops sharply again. The price of charcoal soars all the way, and even the smoky black coal has risen in value.
The price of charcoal changes day by day and rises every day. This is the result of the joint efforts of several companies.
They may not have agreed in advance to cooperate with each other, but people will make the same choice at this time, to make the fire more prosperous, and more prosperous!
"The price of charcoal has been much higher than in previous years. At this time, they can't save it if they want to. Do they need to maintain the old relationship for many years? They can afford to offend those rich and powerful families. Don't look at their current sales. The charcoal should be almost sold out." Yan Yu's analysis is well-founded.
"Whether it's years or years ago, the charcoal in Yongning City is piled up in the yards of big families. The princess actually wants to dig out the charcoal. These families are definitely not short of charcoal, but they have a strong sense of crisis and money. I don’t care about spending money to buy peace of mind.”
Yan Lao Er interjected: "You said your mother misunderstood our family's family background, you think less? Your mother doesn't look at the account, your father I have, but I didn't see anything? We just scattered I made more money by selling it, but our family’s labor costs are also high!"
Almost every family in Xiao'an village followed Yan's family to burn and sell charcoal.
First the children, after the weather turned cold, the adults in the family took over the stall.
Yan Yu is very good at one thing. She manages the accounts quickly and dares to let go. Outsiders may not know that the wages of the people in Xiao'an Village are really paid by the children.
Those children sitting in Mr. Kang’s classroom may not be able to read every single word, but they are extremely slick.
Yan Yu taught those jingles, and the children memorized them more firmly than books.
Li Xuemei turned to look at her daughter again, waiting to hear what she had to say.
"Father, you spent a lot of time in Huju before. I'm afraid you don't know how many trees and charcoal my Uncle Qi and Uncle Qi have cut down and burned..." Yan Yu looked at his father with a very complicated look, and worked hard to make a miracle. Happy... Dad, you can't imagine it!
"After the autumn harvest, the uncles in the village also joined in one after another, and the aunts and women were also diligent. After finishing their homework, they went to the mountains to collect firewood, gather grass and kill rabbits... After we started collecting firewood and selling firewood, the tigers first , then Yongning, and then Gu Feng, Dad, you only read the ledger, and our family’s inventory has increased a lot in the past few days."
She whispered: "The colder the weather, the higher the price of charcoal, and the poorer families are more reluctant to light a fire. Not only are there more people who come to sell firewood."
"Our family's charcoal fire has never been cut off, and it has been burning all the time. As far as I know, other charcoal fields are closed, and they go to the mountains to cut trees in winter?" Yan Yu shook his head and said, "Aren't they crazy? Even if they want to, they are powerless."
She said word by word: "Our family is different. The logs of our family are not included in the account, and it cannot be reflected in the account book. You have to actually see it to find out. Father, mother, let's just put it this way, the logs in our family are now Enough to burn us for a while."
"Why are there so many? No matter how capable you and Uncle Qi are, it is impossible for them to have the time to cut down so many trees!" Yan Er Er questioned.
Yan Yu didn't say that she had time, so she invited Uncle Qi and the others to cut trees in the forest...
Don't say it, it's quite addictive after a while.
"Hey!" Yan Yu said with a smile, "cutting down trees is slow and not environmentally friendly. Of course, you have to go into the mountains to pick them up! There are many fallen branches and fallen trees in the mountains. As long as you are diligent, you can just pick them up. Dad, forget it. Collecting firewood, our family has been collecting wood..."
"Yes, those branches..." Yan Er Er remembered.
He said again: "These are too broken after burning."
"They're all mixed together, and these just add seams and plug the corners. Besides, whole charcoal can be sold as whole charcoal, and crushed charcoal can be sold as crushed charcoal. It's not impossible to burn." Yan Yu continued: "Start picking branches. Later, I felt that thicker wood was more profitable, so we all focused on this. We can’t think too little of one or two, and we can’t think too much of two cars. As long as someone comes to sell it and the price is right, we will buy it.”
Her father didn't read these ledgers carefully, but her uncle did.
Uncle asked her what she thought, why did she make the stall so big?
She actually said it wasn’t very good, she definitely wanted to make money, who wouldn’t? It can be seen that those people are reluctant to burn firewood to keep warm, eager to sell and wait for settlement, the moment the copper plate is bought, the light in the eyes...
She asked herself, she couldn't ignore it.
There is something touching in my heart.
Just... make less money.
"So father and mother, our family is really well-off. If I open up the sale now, I may earn less than them."
I have what others don't have, this is the advantage.
"That's right. It looks like there's a lot of sales outside. In fact, other stores don't have much stock. Our store closed on New Year's Eve, and you stopped trading on the first day of the new year. You don't sell firewood. If people don't look for you, who do you look for?" Li Xuemei said so.
"Mother, no matter who comes, don't accept it. Our family is a big family. We really can't afford to donate. But if they want to buy a batch of charcoal for relief, I can consider selling them some." Yan Yu said .
It’s still the same sentence, you can do good deeds, and do what you can.
Li Xuemei nodded to show that she understood.
She sure can't hold her daughter back.
The whole family was about to fall asleep, and they didn't want to hang on to the door to come in. They swayed towards Yan Yu and pointed their tails straight out.
"Is someone coming?" Yan Yu understood at a glance, and hurriedly put on her clothes and got off the kang.
Yan's second son also started to move: "There must be something wrong with the people coming at this time, and they are from our village? How did they enter the city at this time? The gates of the city are closed!"
The two fathers knew from Gou Zhu's appearance that the person who came was acquainted.
If you don’t know each other, Gou Zhu wouldn’t be so gentle.
The two of them were dragged to the back door.
confirmed their guess, they are acquaintances.
"God!" Yan Yu exclaimed.
Yan's second son: "Uncle, why are you here? It's late at night, come in quickly."
Yan Yu supported Wang Gonggong and went to her house.
After Wang Deshan came in, he took a sip of the hot water handed over by Xiaoer.
Then he asked: "That girl from the Xue family came to see you today?"
Yan Yu nodded and said: "Sister Xue is here. By chance, my father and I went back to the village and are not at home."
Wang Deshan: "It's not a good thing to hide and do something. The things in our house were not blown by the strong wind. The princess is going to raise donations, and those big families will support her. If we don't follow suit, what good things don't fall on us. In case If there is any mistake, it is easy to take the blame for others."
How else can I say that she is a good godfather, sees things clearly, and lives a transparent life.
"Then how many days should I go out to hide? It happens that the village is currently repairing houses, so it's too busy." Yan Yu said.
"That's not necessary. It's not good to be too deliberate. You can do whatever you want. Our own things are vague if you don't want to answer them. We don't like it. Who can force them? There is a godfather here." , let me see who dares!"
"Master!" Yan Yu acted coquettishly towards the prince: "If you weren't here, we would be blinded by this matter. We don't know what to do, but it's just what others say, hehe! God is my backer, I can't say no confidence!"
Wang Deshan squinted her eyes and nodded her small forehead: "You little devil can still suffer?! But you are right, we don't want to bully others, and others don't want to bully us, the **** is still here, No one should try to plot against our little two."
He turned his eyes and looked at Yan's second child.
"Huai'an, how are you doing with your books recently? Can you still go to Mr. Cheng's house to ask for articles?"
Yan Laoer was stunned for a moment. Didn’t you hear me just now? I’ve been busy working in the village recently, running back and forth all day. Don’t you just remember being a granddaughter and forgetting her father who goes back and forth with Xiao Er every day?
"Don't slacken your homework. The day of the county examination is getting closer and closer, and it is right in front of you..." Wang De pointed out kindly.
Response is amazing!
"Master, the county test will not be advanced?"
Yan's second son stared wide-eyed.
Wang Deshan hummed vaguely, picked up the bowl again, and took a sip of water.
This style is unmistakable!
"Father, then don't be so busy, hurry up and prepare for the exam!" Yan Yu hurriedly said: "From tomorrow onwards, I will go to Mr. Cheng's house to study, you can just live there, oh, it's only a few days...
That's right, Dad! Didn't Shigong say that he needs to avoid suspicion and ask the elder of Gu Fengcheng to replace the invigilator with him, he went to Gufeng, and the elder came to Huju, the exam is about to take place, why didn't Shigong send us a letter..."
Yan Yu blinked and looked at her godfather.
Her godfather continued to look at her with a smile.
understood.
This has just been decided. It is self-evident who made the decision. Except for the god, I am afraid that not many people know it.
Yan Yu smiled.
Wang Deshan couldn't help laughing at her small appearance.
"Snowstorm is a disaster, and the number of people affected by the disaster has been reported from all over the country. The prince is so worried that he can't eat. No, it's just the little pickles made by your family. The prince is fine with it, and he can barely eat a few bites."
Yan Yu winked at her father.
Father and daughter had a tacit understanding, Mr. Yan understood it, and went out with the pretext of packing pickles.
"Master, why is it half a month earlier?" Yan Yu asked tentatively.
Wang Deshan would never lie to anyone about his good grandson, and it was because he was always cautious not to tell the truth in front of Yan's second child.
In fact, since the other person came, he just informed the matter in advance, so that Yan Lao Er could prepare well for the exam.
"There is not enough manpower. The adults above sit in the government office and cannot do without. There is a shortage of people running errands below."
"Aren't there government servants?"
"Counting all the three classes of yamen servants, how many people are there? Besides, there is a shortage of people who can write and count. Those big bosses can't read a few big characters. If they don't read the bulletins posted by themselves out."
Wang Deshan said: "Whether it's after the county test in February or before the county test is not a matter of the prince's words.
If we don’t hold this event, the scholars will all study hard at home. Where can we find someone? "
Yan Yu understands.
Special treatment during special periods.
The purpose of the imperial court's examination is to select talents.
The prince wants to use it, so he can choose it in advance.
"Master." Yan Yu lowered his voice: "Since we choose people who are practical and able to count, will there be some emphasis on arithmetic problems?"
Wang Deshan stretched out his hand, stroking his grandson's little head very rarely.
Look at how this little head grows, how clever it is!
"Let your father prepare well, this is God's blessing from him, from the county exam to the college exam... Whether you can take advantage of the wind and get a job, it depends on this experience."
…
After sending her godfather away, Yan Yu anxiously dragged her father back to the house.
"Mother, my godfather just came and said..." Yan Yu crackled and learned it.
He said again without a break: "I think there is something in the words of the godfather, I am afraid that this time not only the county examination...even the hospital examination will be brought forward.
The lord wants to employ people, and he can’t just wait for someone to pass the exam. Since he is sympathetic to scholars and doesn’t want to interrupt their exam preparation, it is very likely that all exams will be brought forward...
All dust settled.
Should be a scholar is a scholar, should be a child student is a child student, those who fail the ranking fail...
In this way, people can stop worrying about other things and do things with peace of mind.
Besides, as a prince, if he wants to employ people, he may not be able to see the level of Tongsheng, and at least he must be a scholar. "
What Yan Yu didn't say was that Tong Sheng wasn't worth being her godfather to go there in person, just find someone to deliver a message.
Didn’t the godfather say it, this is the east wind blown by God to her father, borrowing the wind to make her sway, and go straight to Qingyun...
Li Xuemei thought about it seriously, and said: "You are right, that should be the case.
You asked an arithmetic problem and your godfather didn’t say no, then you probably guessed it right. "
She also looked at Yan's second son with bright eyes: "I'm afraid your father really wants to take advantage of this opportunity this time!"
Yan Yu's eyes were also shining brightly: "Father! You've caught this time, and you won't come back as a scholar!"
Yan's second son looked at the twinkling eyes, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure!
"Well, as long as it's an exam, who can guarantee that he will pass it? I will try my best, I will try my best!" Although God takes good care of him, how can a scumbag like him guarantee the exam?
So suddenly, he hasn't turned his head yet!
Things that were memorized tightly in the past are now a mess when I think about them.
Yan's second son started to sweat.
Yan Yu and her mother looked at each other,
Both women frowned at the same time, worried in their hearts.
Yan Yu has passed the exam since she was a child, and Li Xuemei is in this line of work. She knows best that the status of candidates will directly affect their performance.
Looking at it, Yan's second child was just not ready.
Knowing the letter in advance may not be an advantage, he is also nervous a few days earlier than others...
"Father! Otherwise, you should focus on arithmetic problems at home these few days." Yan Yu said seriously: "If my estimate is not bad, this part will account for a lot of points. Also, since we have to pick hard work, those who are illusory You don’t need to read the article, and we don’t have to think about how to craft words, just write as you please, don’t be too vernacular.”
Yan's second son was indeed distracted.
"Is this okay? Are you betting right?"
Li Xuemei thought in her heart, your daughter can't do anything else, the exam is not so accurate.
"Just listen to your daughter. She can accurately touch what the prince is thinking, and she can accurately touch what the **** is thinking."
Yan Laoer nodded repeatedly.
My heart fell back into my stomach.
