Shen Qingqian used to be slow about this kind of thing, but it was different now. Almost as soon as she saw Shen Qingning winking, she knew what was going to happen next.
So, Shen Qingqian said to Shengze decisively and seriously: "If there is nothing important, just wait until we get back."
After saying that, she walked quickly and walked over to Shen Qingning and the others.
Shengze paused, feeling dumbfounded.
He just wanted to say by the way that he would trouble her to deal with the profit sharing and tax collection when the caravan came back.
In fact, Shen Qingqian was not idle these days. Although she did not often go to the city to deal with the caravan, she gave a plan for Li Hezhou to implement.
This includes how to count the sales of caravans on the road to prevent merchants in the caravan from evading taxes.
After all, the Hubei Army has spent so much energy, and there must be a reasonable return.
Before that, Shen Qingqian hesitated for a long time, and finally decided that this caravan trip would be taxed according to sales, and in addition to taxes, the Northern Hubei Army would also have to pay an additional "protection fee", which is also related to Sales linked.
For the merchants, this was a piece of their cake, but the high returns from customs foreign trade made them reluctant to throw away this piece of meat, so they had no choice but to agree.
Shen Qingqian knew very well that if the caravan failed to make enough money to make the merchants happy this time, no one would be willing to join the caravan next time, so management on the road was very important.
In fact, if these people unite and unite outside, whether it is the Northern Hubei Army responsible for protection or the people responsible for trading, if they prioritize maximizing the profits of the goods, maybe they will bring back a huge surprise.
However, Shen Qingqian had only mentioned this to Li Hezhou before. Shengze was also listening at that time, so I wonder if he had mentioned it to the soldiers responsible for protecting him.
After seeing the excitement of the caravan traveling, everyone worked as if they had been given blood after returning.
Shen Qingqian turned around halfway to the planting base. She had to go there today to see if there were any seedlings that needed to be replanted.
From a distance, Shen Qingqian seemed to see two acquaintances, and the increasingly clear voices sounded familiar.
"Dad, dad, please slow down..."
"You traitor! Didn't I tell you not to come out? You just don't understand, right?"
"It's unfair, Dad, didn't I hear that you were seriously ill..."
"Fart! As long as you don't make me angry, I'll be fine!"
"..."
Shen Qingqian heard it, and it was Zhang Zhiyao and Zhang Dong who were about to meet her.
She almost didn't think about it, and hurriedly hid behind a big tree on the roadside. There were some shrubs around it, so it was no problem to completely block her figure.
It can be seen that Zhang Dong made Zhang Zhiyao very angry, otherwise he would not have said anything dirty.
There was no one around here, and she didn't know whether Zhang Zhiyao was so angry that he lost his mind or something else. He walked forward quickly while scolding Zhang Dong, causing Shen Qingqian to accidentally hear many of the bastard things Zhang Dong had done.
"...Have you forgotten that the granary was burned down last year because of the woman you brought back! You damn always disobey me, and I will be killed by you sooner or later!"
These words happened to be spoken by Shen Qingqian, and her eyes suddenly widened when she heard them. The burning of the Northern Hubei Army's granary last year was related to Zhang Dong?
"No, Dad, aren't we over that matter? And I really don't know why you want to tell others that you are sick..."
The voices of the two people became farther and farther away, and the sound of the trotting footsteps of the personal servant who followed them gradually disappeared, but Shen Qingqian frowned and did not come out from behind the tree immediately.
