Chapter 149 So Many People
"Qiufen also took this into consideration and asked the servant to tidy up and appear in front of the young lady in a neat manner, so as not to make the young lady feel uncomfortable."
"My brother and I are all for the young lady, I hope the young lady will understand."
Yijia is indeed a smart man.
During the time of washing, he managed to find out a lot of new information from the servant.
Not long ago, the young lady became the most senior young lady in the mansion.
This time, even the master supported the young lady, and the housekeeper Wang had to give face to the young lady.
It is precisely because of this that Qiufen can summon the servant without spending money.
Otherwise, how could the servant be willing to lend his own territory to serve Yijia, an outsider.
After knowing this, Yijia was not willing to get off the big ship full of smoke.
He knew that if Zhu Yingyan didn't use him anymore,
he would never be able to become a Yijia person like his name.
At this moment, Zhu Yingyan was so unhappy, Yijia was trying to coax Zhu Yingyan and make her change her mind.
Sure enough, after some fun outside, Yijia's words became more slick.
Zhu Yingyan could accept his words.
If Yijia really appeared in front of Zhu Yingyan in a sloppy manner, Zhu Yingyan would have to give him a scolding.
"This is just the first time, it won't happen again."
"Thank you, Miss!"
Yijia kowtowed loudly again, without any stinginess, and kowtowed willingly.
"Tell me, how is the grain collection going?"
After teaching the servants the rules, Zhu Yingyan got to the point and wanted to know about the grain situation.
Yijia took out a letter from his arms:
"This is the account that I asked a scholar to make. It records how much grain was collected and how much money was spent this time."
Yijia was afraid that his memory was not good and the journey was long.
If he said something wrong in front of the young lady, it would be easy to offend the young lady.
Yijia didn't want to work so hard and get nothing in the end.
"A little smart."
Zhu Yingyan's attitude softened again. Yijia didn't know a few words and couldn't do other things, but he
had a lot of cleverness in this kind of errand job.
Zhu Yingyan, who had just thought of replacing Qiufen, decided to give Qiufen another chance for Yijia's sake.
After reading the numbers on the paper and taking back the remaining silver from Yijia,
Zhu Yingyan's face, which had just been relieved, became gloomy again, which made Qiufen's heart tremble and she shrank her neck and dared not say a word.
"Why is it so little?"
And the silver has not been spent yet?
If the grain price was not similar to her impression, and Yijia had not returned all the remaining silver,
Zhu Yingyan would really suspect that Yijia had enriched himself and hidden her grain.
Before this year's big snow disaster, Jiangnan had received a year's harvest, and there was indeed a lot of grain.
But now, what is the situation? !
"To reply to the young lady, besides me, there are other people collecting grain."
"I am incompetent and arrived later than them, so..."
Most of the grain was collected by others, and he had not collected all the grain at the end, so the grain he could bring back was naturally less.
"The grain I received was slightly higher than the price given by the young lady, and that was because there were too many people collecting grain." "
After the amount of grain in the account became less, he was not willing to pay, and insisted on increasing my price. I had no choice but to agree..."
If I didn't agree, I wouldn't be able to bring back any grain. Not only would I have made a wasted trip, but I would also be blamed.
Now, no matter how much, it is a fact that he brought some back.
Yijia dared to come today because he didn't collect much grain, and he was afraid that Zhu Yingyan would be dissatisfied, so he went back home.
That's not the case. How could a plate of cakes on the Autumnal Equinox feed a strong man like Yijia?
After returning home, Yijia heard that his parents helped Zhu Yingyan collect grain near the capital. If
the grain collected by their family is added together, the amount is worth considering.
Without this confirmation, Yijia dared not take a bath, and he dared not eat the cakes.
We are all family, so the harvested grain can certainly be put together.
"So many people are collecting grain? How is that possible?"
Zhu Yingyan smashed the cup.
She clearly remembered that this year's autumn harvest was not only a bumper harvest, but also because the output was more than usual,
there was more grain, and fewer people to collect grain, so the grain price was suppressed to a very low level.
Therefore, after the snowstorm, the grain collector who bargained down the price made a lot of money and immediately became one of the richest people in the Great Yong Dynasty.
In order to receive more grain as quickly as possible, she did not give Yijia the bargained price for the grain, and
used a normal price that was a little higher than this. How could she not receive it?
In fact, the price that Yijia charged was indeed higher than what she paid.
Zhu Yingyan was so angry that she spent money but received less grain than she wanted.
Shouldn't no one want the grain that was bargained down?
Why is this life different from the last life? The grain that no one wants is actually snatched up in this life? !
Zhu Yingyan was very dissatisfied with the amount of grain she received.
She wanted to do a bigger business and make more money.
With only this little food, Zhu Yingyan doubted that
after all her hard work, could she earn more money than Zhu Xuntao's silver mirror shop?
She thought about how she had not been eating well and sleeping well recently because of the food collection, and she had been worried for more than two months.
What about Zhu Xuntao?
Zhu Xuntao is the center of attention in the Yongjing Marquis Mansion. She is pampered and coaxed by others, and is spoiled like a baby. She
easily makes so much money from the Silver Mirror shop. How can Zhu Yingyan balance this?
What makes Zhu Yingyan even more concerned is that there are many people in this life who are just like her, harvesting grain normally.
Those grain merchants who lowered the price are no longer useful. May I ask, who are these people who are snatching grain from her?
She harvested grain in advance because she knew that there was going to be a snowstorm.
What was the reason for those people?
It is impossible that they knew the same as her...
No, no, absolutely not, and absolutely not!
The person with the ability of prophecy must be only her.
If there is one more person who is favored by God like her, then can her plan still succeed?
"Yijia, according to your observation, how many people are collecting grain besides you?"
Yijia replied:
"I checked, and it seems that there are three different groups of people collecting grain."
Zhu Yingyan: "..."
Now, Zhu Yingyan really can't blame Yijia anymore.
Others are faster than Yijia, and went to Jiangnan to collect grain first.
And there are three groups of people. After these three groups of people have collected the grain, Yijia can still bring these back, which is already quite capable.
I'm afraid that if someone else does this, she will come back empty-handed.
"Three groups of people...did they collect a lot?"
