The four of them looked at each other, and one of them said: "Our shop is still closed. Last time, the young master said that if you do business with Lord Chen, you can also do business with His Highness the Crown Prince. We are stupid and failed to understand the deeper meaning. I hope the young master can give me some advice."
After saying that, he presented a carved wooden box.
Yue Rushuang smiled and said, "I wonder how much money this is? I'm curious to know, how much is Yue worth in everyone's minds?"
The muscles on that person's face were twitching. Is this too little?
But you didn’t look at it either.
Yue Rushuang used her fan to push the wooden box back.
"I don't accept your wishes, let alone bribes."
"I already know what you are thinking."
"A few of them are in the grain business. This grain business is the most different. If you have no money, you can buy less or no clothes and shoes. You can live barefoot, but you can't buy this grain. This is a matter of life and death. big deal."
"The people in Quzhou City have been affected by the disaster, and there is not a grain of food left at home. I originally distributed some disaster relief money to survive until autumn, but you also know that now that the fields are destroyed, this year's autumn harvest can no longer be expected. Then this food..."
After hearing Yue Rushuang's words, several people seemed to want to increase the price.
"This food has become precious. If we take it out at that time, wouldn't it save the people from fire and water?"
"When the time comes, His Highness the Crown Prince will not lose you, and will definitely ask the Emperor for rewards."
Yue Rushuang smiled.
"I'm not afraid no matter how much food there is, I won't be afraid."
"Everyone is a big business person. As the saying goes: The bold will die and the timid will starve. In business, all you need is courage and all you need is an opportunity."
"If I were the bosses, I would definitely buy more food. Think about it, now that the four of you have closed the shop, won't Changzhou be short of food? How much food can people have in their homes, and how much food can they still eat?"
"Quzhou is short of food. How much food do these two state cities alone need? And the counties and towns below the state capital?"
Several people immediately understood that the prince wanted to hoard food and increase prices.
Yue Rushuang waved, and Xing'er held up a small mahogany box.
"As for me, I'm also very interested in this business. I wonder if any of you would be willing to take me with you?"
"Just follow your normal rules when it comes to dividends."
Myolie opened the small mahogany box, and there were neat banknotes inside.
Four people...
"If the money is not enough, I can add more."
"If it's inconvenient, I can do it with someone else."
Several people looked at each other and said, "Sure, Mr. Yue is so happy."
The four of them counted the money in person, wrote the contract, took the money and left.
Xing'er raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you want to do business with them, girl?"
Yue Rushuang said: "They go to buy goods. They have ready-made granaries and shops. We are just waiting to share the money. Why not do it?"
Xing'er looked puzzled and said: "Young lady wants to be a profiteer?"
Yue Rushuang...
"As for me, girl, I have never hated money."
"But if I don't pay, do you think they would dare to buy a large amount of food?"
Xing'er's big eyes flashed and she suddenly said: "The girl is cheating!"
Yue Rushuang said: "If they are honest businessmen, I will not cheat them. After hard work, they will always make some profits, but it will not work if it is difficult to make money for the country."
"So, when they make money, I can share the money with you, girl. There are also people who work on the food for the prince. I send people myself. Firstly, I am not as proficient as them. Secondly, I have to transport it myself and find a place to store it myself. This Don’t worry, someone has done it for us.”
"Girl, you are so bad!" Xing'er said sincerely.
Yue Rushuang...
Okay, I'll just take it as your compliment.
Yue Rushuang took Xing'er to Quzhou City. When the two arrived there, they found that the entire Quzhou City had almost turned into a construction site, with more than a thousand people building houses.
The prince is dressed in brocade clothes, which is very obvious.
"Prince!"
When the prince turned around and saw that it was Yue Rushuang who had arrived, he was very happy.
"Call me husband."
Yue Rushuang...
Did you choose it yet?
"Why are there so many people?"
"The garrison of Changzhou Prefecture, the garrison of Quzhou Prefecture, and the Changzhou Prefecture have found some people. The old man has been in Changzhou Prefecture for so many years. He has made many stupid mistakes and made friends with many people. To put it bluntly, It’s still useful.”
The prince said again:
"Shuang'er, come with me to visit Duke Qing tomorrow. It's unreasonable not to pay a visit to Changzhou alone. The disaster was serious a few days ago. Now I'm looking for some petty officials to supervise him."
Yue Rushuang nodded and said: "Okay!"
Then he told the prince about the four major grain merchants.
The prince smiled and said: "That's very good."
"Did the lonely princess take bribes again?"
Yue Rushuang smiled and said: "I want to use this money to buy some herbs and quicklime. There will be a big epidemic after the disaster. If we wait for the epidemic to break out, we will be in a hurry."
The prince smiled and said: "It has been prepared by someone a long time ago. The first time Shuang'er said it, I remembered it in my heart."
Yue Rushuang...
His Royal Highness is really resolute and resolute.
"I thought about it, and there are only two most important things right now. One is water control, and the other is farming."
The prince looked at Yue Rushuang: "What did the prince say? It's already past July and it's too late to plant anything."
The prince lowered his beautiful long eyelashes and said: "If Jiangnan cannot pay taxes and grains, the treasury will be even emptier. Without grains and taxes, I'm afraid the court will have to provide disaster relief. Every time I go in and out, I'm afraid my father will have a headache again."
Yue Rushuang said: "Dajin only grows one season of rice a year. In fact, it is as warm as the south of the Yangtze River. It can be planted in the morning and the evening. There is a kind of late rice. It is not too late to plant rice at this time."
The prince looked at Yue Rushuang in surprise.
“We always plant in spring and harvest in autumn, so why are we still planting in autumn?”
Yue Rushuang said: "Well, you can at least give it a try. If you can, you can plant two crops every year in the future."
Overjoyed, the prince took Yue Rushuang upstairs and gave him a peck on the face.
"How can I be so virtuous as to be able to marry you in this life?"
Yue Rushuang blushed at the sudden confession.
Damn, I actually like it a little bit.
It's over, it's over, don't you fall in love with him?
Yue Rushuang had always had this idea, to ask for a letter of departure, and she would leave when the prince ascended the throne one day.
She didn't care about that position, and she didn't want to enter the palace.
Even if the emperor gave her a pot of love and something unexpected happened, she didn't change her mind.
She never knew that there was any emperor in history who only had one queen.
Yue Rushuang looked at the house again. A dozen people built one room, and a dozen people built another room. Some shadows could already be seen.
Ancient houses were all wooden structures. In addition to wood, people here also used stones. The base of the house was made of large stones transported from the mountain, which were put piece by piece on a rolling cart and pulled back.
Some houses were not destroyed by the flood this time. They belonged to a wealthy family. The entire house was made of large stones. It is said that this kind of house is very comfortable to live in. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is strong even when floods come.
Yue Rushuang said regretfully: "This is all we can do now. When we have money in the future, we will have to replace all the houses with big stone ones."
The prince nodded: "This is indeed the case. The money to build the dike every two years is at least four to five million taels. The court is overwhelmed, but it will not work if it is not repaired. If this continues, we can only give up this place and give another place. Give it to Quzhou."
Migrate?
Not a good idea, Yue Rushuang shook his head.
So many people are wasting people and money.
"Shuang'er, do you still remember that you want to visit Bailuo Sect?"
