Chapter 80 You will definitely regret it
There are many things to eat, although brown rice and other things make your throat sore.
But they can fill your stomach and are cheap.
"Qiufen, take this silver and give it to your brother now, so that your brother can collect as much grain as he can."
"I want to buy a lot of grain. If you don't have enough silver, just come and ask me for it. I don't mind too much grain."
Zhu Xuntao's manor was given by Zhu Lao Da, and Zhu Yingyan also has a manor.
Her manor is bigger than Zhu Xuntao's and the location is better.
"Put all the grain you collect in my farm in the western suburbs."
"Remember, the grain must be dried and stored in the granary."
"If your brother can do this, I will reward him handsomely."
Qiufen: "..."
Looking at the heavy banknotes in his hand, the eldest lady actually wants to collect so much grain?
"All?"
Qiufen moved the banknotes in his hand.
"All, the more the better."
"After the grain near the capital is collected, you can ask your brother to go farther away to collect it."
"Jiangnan is a land of fishing and rice. I heard that there is a lot of grain there."
"Yes, let your brother go to Jiangnan as soon as possible. I can send other people to collect the grain in the capital."
"That will cost a lot of money."
Qiufen was surprised by Zhu Yingyan's generosity.
With so much grain collected, is the eldest daughter planning to open a rice shop?
She won't need that much, will she?
Qiufen reminded her:
"Miss, if you keep the refined rice for too long, it will become stale grain, it won't taste good, and the price will drop." You
will lose money.
Qiufen was not afraid that Zhu Yingyan would lose money, but she was afraid that her eldest daughter would push the responsibility onto her brother who collected the grain.
That wouldn't do.
"Don't worry."
Zhu Yingyan was confident:
"I have my own plans for this grain."
No matter how much she collected, she could not only sell it cleanly, but also make a lot of money!
"Yes, Miss."
Qiufen reminded her of everything she should have.
After making sure that her eldest brother would not be held responsible, Qiufen took the banknote and ran to find her brother.
As soon as the banknotes were in hand, Qiufen's brother Yijia's eyes were glued to the banknotes and couldn't be pulled away.
Seeing Yijia's greedy look, Qiufen changed his face:
"Brother, these silvers are given to you by the eldest lady to collect grain, so don't touch them."
"The eldest lady is smart. She knows how much grain can be collected with how much silver. You can't fool her."
"If you dare to covet the eldest lady's money, such a good thing will never come to you in the future."
"The eldest lady will hold you accountable, and I, a little girl, don't have the ability to protect you."
Yijia didn't believe it:
"The eldest lady stays in the back house all day, how can she know the affairs of us ordinary people?"
"Besides, the grain price changes every day, and it's different in different places."
It's not as difficult as his sister said to fool the eldest lady.
At worst, he can just take less, that should be fine.
"Oh..."
Qiufen sneered.
If her brother had a chance to make money from the eldest lady, could she stop him?
But if he wanted to take money that he couldn't make, he would be chopped off.
Qiufen handed Yijia a piece of paper with a lot of words written on it.
And Yijia knew all these words.
It was because Yijia knew a few words that Zhu Yingyan was willing to give Qiufen and his sister this opportunity.
"Grain, grain prices? Or the prices in different places?"
After seeing what was written on the paper, Yijia's eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
"I am a small-time person in the city, but I don't know it so clearly. How does the young lady know it?"
"The price on the paper, can't it be made up by the young lady to deceive us?"
Qiufen slapped Yijia on the arm:
"Anyway, you have to go to these places to collect your grain."
"Is the price given by the young lady real or made up? When you get there, you can ask and you will know, right?"
How can such a thing be made up?
"Okay, okay."
Yijia didn't give up, always feeling that Zhu Yingyan was deceiving him.
Anyway, he would never give up the money he could make.
After Yijia rushed to Jiangnan and inquired about the local rice price, he got a number exactly the same as Zhu Yingyan's, and
then he gave up.
He only cursed secretly that the young lady was so rich, yet she was still haggling over such a small amount of money with servants like them.
He had been working for the young lady for a long time, and he had to eat so much dirt, but he was only given such a small amount of hard-earned money, which was too stingy.
Bah, and he said that working for the young lady was profitable, he didn't think so at all!
After confirming that Yijia had received his order, he didn't delay for a day and went straight to Jiangnan. Zhu Yingyan was very satisfied.
She had limited money, so in order to receive more food,
Zhu Yingyan went to Mrs. Sun to ask for more money:
"Mother, how much money do you have? Can you give it all to me? I need it."
"Consider it a loan from you. When I pay you back, I will give you interest and I can also show my filial piety to you."
Mrs. Sun took out a banknote from the box and stuffed it into Zhu Yingyan's hand:
"Everything I have is yours. If you want it, just take it. Don't ask me to pay it back."
"But, Yingyan, what do you like that costs you so much money?"
How come she hadn't heard of such good things in the capital?
Zhu Yingyan opened the stall and saw a thousand taels.
Zhu Yingyan was not very satisfied with the amount:
"Mother, do you have more? A thousand taels is too little. Give me some more."
"A thousand taels is not enough?"
"What do you want to do with so much silver?"
It's not that she was reluctant to give it, but she wanted to know how to
spend the silver. "Mother, don't worry about it. Just give me the silver."
Madam Sun shook her head:
"If you don't explain clearly, mother will be worried."
Zhu Yingyan frowned:
"Mother, didn't you just say that all your silver is mine?"
"In that case, just think of giving me the silver first. I really need it."
The silver belonged to Madam Sun. Madam Sun was unwilling to give it to her, and Zhu Yingyan had no choice.
No matter how much she dotes on her daughter, Madam Sun has her own bottom line.
"One thousand taels is not a small amount. If you don't explain clearly, I can't give you the rest of the money."
"Mom, you will regret it!"
Zhu Yingyan gritted her teeth in anger. She never thought that the person who would ruin her plan and hold her back would be her mother who loved her the most.
Angry at Madam Sun's distrust, Zhu Yingyan, who was spoiled, stopped nagging Madam Sun and turned away.
Zhu Yingyan knew very well that her mother didn't need to nag for money if she was willing to give it. It would be
useless for her to nag for money if her mother didn't want to give it.
"You should give this 1,000 taels of silver to your parents first, and let them help me collect grain near the capital."
"Remember, don't give me a random price just because it's my silver. You should lower the price and collect more."
It is the harvest season now, and there are a lot of people selling grain.
Zhu Yingyan knows that this is the easiest time to lower the price.
"I know, Miss."
Qiufen took a long break and went back to her home in the countryside.
Qiufen's parents held the 1,000 taels of silver note with shaking hands. They had never seen so much silver in their lives.
