In Song Qingci's mind, mother = troublemaker.
Look, something strange is happening again.
Mr. Fu San had just returned from the training ground when he saw Song Qingci rushing out in a hurry.
It seemed that because of seeing him, the little girl wanted to stop, but she couldn't stop. Master Fu San was frightened by what she saw.
"What's the urgent matter?" Mr. Fu San couldn't help but stretch out his hand to protect her.
"Nothing," Song Qingci said awkwardly, "My mother asked someone to bring me some things. I'll go take a look."
"Um."
Did Xu Youyou send someone to pick up the girl?
Didn’t you say it would take a few more days?
If we leave now, isn't it too hasty?
Mr. Fu San felt empty in his heart, as if a piece was missing.
He always thought that although he would be lost, he was prepared to cut off these threads of love that should not have been born.
However, now that the time has come, I realize that I was just deceiving myself.
It felt like a piece of flesh was dug out from my heart, leaving it bloody and mangled.
Unconsciously, the little girl had taken root in his heart.
Song Qingci took Feng Xun out in a hurry, but Mr. Fu San was standing in the yard, so distraught that he didn't even realize it.
The cold wind still lacked the warmth of spring, and it made his clothes rustle.
It seemed as if he was the only lonely person left between heaven and earth.
So this is the sourness of not getting what you want.
He made up for the lesson he missed in his youth at this age.
Song Qingci had no idea about Mr. Fu Sanye's complicated feelings. Her mind was now full of one thought - keep a low profile, you must keep a low profile!
She was about to leave Huaishan, hoping that all that would remain on Huaishan were legends about her medical skills and character.
She didn't want the people of Huaishan to remember her in the future - the daughter of a nouveau riche.
When she met Manager Lin, she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she discovered that he only brought two followers with him and no carriage or luggage.
——Even if it was hidden, she thanked Manager Lin for his kindness.
Much better than her mother.
Shopkeeper Lin bowed respectfully to Song Qingci.
Looking at the old shopkeeper who could be her grandfather, Song Qingci smiled and dodged, returning the greeting: "Thank you for your trouble. It's a trouble for you to come here."
Seeing the cautious and vigilant look of Shopkeeper Lin, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is no one on Huaishan who wants to harm us."
Shopkeeper Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief and explained his purpose. "Madam has asked me to bring you two hundred thousand taels of silver. I should have followed Madam's instructions, but I'm worried. After all, this is Huaishan, and two hundred thousand taels of silver is no small sum... I'm afraid someone might get greedy, so I've come to ask for your advice. Should this silver be transported to the mountain as Madam suggested, or temporarily stored below?"
Song Qingci felt relieved and gave him a thumbs up.
As expected, it takes someone who is older and experienced to get things done properly!
Shopkeeper Lin felt embarrassed by her straightforward praise, but he was very happy in his heart.
Who doesn’t like to be respected and praised?
This is the future young master.
Although Xu Youyou intended to hand over the business to Xu Jinzhu and had been training her over the years, Xu Jinzhu claimed to everyone that these businesses would be her sister's dowry in the future and no one else could get involved.
Song Qingci was lazing around at home, but because of Xu Jinzhu, there was always talk about her in the business world.
That's why Manager Lin treats her with special respect.
"...Don't take it to the mountain, and don't save it." Song Qingci had already thought about it, "I'd like to trouble you to help me spend all this money."
"Spend, spend it out?" Shopkeeper Lin was stunned.
This is two hundred thousand taels of silver, how should I spend it?
I feel that this young master has a kind of naive innocence or... a clear stupidity.
She may have grown up in a wealthy environment, so she has no concept of money.
That's two hundred thousand taels of silver. Grain is expensive this year, and a stone of brown rice costs only a little over a hundred coins.
"Yes, you can help me buy food. You don't need to buy fine grains, just enough to fill my stomach, like brown rice."
Shopkeeper Lin almost thought Song Qingci had the ability to read minds.
He just randomly picked some brown rice to compare prices, so how did he get discovered?
"Miss, two hundred thousand taels of silver for coarse rice, how much does that cost..."
At 125 coins per dan, and 8 dan for 1 tael of silver, 200,000 taels of silver would equal 1.6 million dan...
A soldier's rations are no more than four stones a year, but these rations can feed four hundred thousand people for a whole year!
Shopkeeper Lin tried his best to analyze the situation for Song Qingci.
Song Qingci said, "It's not much to feed 400,000 people for a year, but it's OK. If we save some, it might be enough to feed them for a year and a half."
After all, Mr. Fu Sanye now has only a few hundred thousand people to take care of, and there are also many elderly, weak, women and children who cannot eat so much food.
"Manager Lin, have you included the money needed for purchasing and transportation? Do you have to deduct some extra money?"
She actually wanted to buy so much food?
Although Shopkeeper Lin was shocked, he still tried his best to reply, "That's not necessary. I calculated the current grain prices in Liaodong. If we send people to Jiangnan to collect grain ourselves, although there will be travel expenses, the grain will be cheaper."
He felt that if he really wanted to collect grain in such large quantities, he would do it himself to save money.
After all, Xu Youyou's business is spread all over the world. There are people in Jiangnan responsible for purchasing, and people from all over the country provide escort.
Song Qingci shook his head and said, "Mobilizing so many troops like that would only cause trouble for everyone."
Everyone has their own work to do. To put it bluntly, this is her private matter and she shouldn't bother others.
Shopkeeper Lin nodded when he heard this, but thought to himself, it's true that one doesn't know how expensive food and fuel are until he runs the household. He should save money where he can.
It's good that the young master is so kind-hearted, but since ancient times, all businessmen are dishonest. If you are so easy to talk to, you will easily be bullied in the future.
At this time, he heard Song Qingci say, "I think this is the way to go. When you go back, send a carrier pigeon to find out the grain prices in Jiangnan. Then roughly calculate the cost of transporting grain to Liaodong. Then compare this price with the current grain price, cut the difference in half, and then look for grain merchants to cooperate with."
In this way, people don't work in vain and you can also find convenience for yourself.
After all, if her family members have never handled these things and are doing them for the first time, there will always be a waste of time and money. So, if you calculate it this way, it should be about the same.
When Shopkeeper Lin heard this, he was immediately impressed.
"As expected of the Young Master. Your vision and knowledge are beyond our reach. I'll go back and do it right away... But, Young Master, why are you buying so much food?"
He realized belatedly that he hadn't figured out the problem yet!
Song Qingci smiled and said, "I owe him a favor, so I want to help him do something."
She expected that as Mr. Fu Sanye's team grew stronger, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the court and even be encircled and suppressed.
At this time, it is very important to have confidence.
These grains should be able to help Mr. Fu San to survive for one or two years.
