Chapter 37 Easy to do
Next year, we won’t just be planting 300 acres, but we will be trying to plant the full acres.
Zhao Nan's words made her feel like a big pie had fallen from the sky, and she was so happy that she almost felt like floating!
Zhao Nan straightened his back and said, "Of course it's true."
It’s just 400,000 kilograms of sugarcane. If you think about it carefully, it’s not a lot.
This is what the young master asked you to do, and Miss Zhao is so considerate and polite, why don't you help her to the end and see her off to the end?
Otherwise, what if Miss Zhao thinks that you don’t even have this little bit of ability, then it would be a huge discredit to you, right?
"Thank you so much!" Zhao Liya smiled brightly, "Thank you, Brother Zhaonan, and thank you, Master Zhou!"
Zhao Nan smiled and said, "You're welcome, Miss Zhao!"
After finding out the inn where Zhao Liya and the others were staying, Zhao Nan quickly said goodbye and went back to report the matter to his master.
Zhou Hansheng was quite surprised to hear this. He hadn't expected something to happen. This Miss Zhao was truly capable.
He has this ability at such a young age.
Zhong Jing was the lieutenant general guarding the three counties of Nanjun, Gaolian, Suixi and Guangzhan. He was a local tyrant and emperor in these three counties. Although he did not interact much with local officials and wealthy families on weekdays, it was natural for him to resolve small matters like this one easily.
It's just a matter of words.
In the evening, when they were having dinner with the head of the village, Uncle Ruan Gui and others, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling told them the good news with a smile. This way, they would save a lot of trouble and would not have to go down to negotiate and purchase by themselves.
Originally they planned to split up into two groups to look for the seller, but now they just had to wait for news from Zhaonan.
The village head, Uncle Ruan Gui and others were also very happy and kept praising Miss Zhao for her good luck.
This kind of thing doesn't happen to everyone.
The next day around noon, Zhao Nan arrived and brought with him a man, Zhong Ming, Zhong Jing's personal soldier and attendant. He introduced the man to Zhao Liya and Hu Ling, and told them that Zhong Ming would personally take them to find the seller.
"Our young master left Suixi County yesterday due to some matters. If Miss Zhao has anything to say, just tell Brother Zhong Ming. You're welcome!"
Zhong Ming smiled and said, "Zhao Nan is right. Don't worry, Miss Zhao. This is nothing."
Zhao Liya thanked him with a smile, and when she said goodbye to Zhao Nan, she gave him a red envelope containing ten taels of silver.
Zhao Nan initially refused to accept it, but Zhao Liya insisted, so he had to accept it reluctantly.
When I opened it later, I was shocked to see how much the red envelope was.
After careful consideration, he finally told his son about this matter. When he met his son's emotionless eyes, his scalp tingled. He forced himself to smile and explain: "I don't know so much."
Zhou Hansheng: "Oh? You can ask for a lot?"
Zhao Nan hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, it's mainly because Miss Zhao is too enthusiastic and too polite - or not, it's just that I was confused. I will definitely go back next time we see each other."
Zhou Hansheng then let him go: "Do you know where they are from?"
Zhaonan: “.”
I don’t know, I forgot to ask!
Zhou Hansheng gave him a stupid look and told him to experience it himself.
Zhaonan: “.”
Since we are so destined to meet, we will definitely meet again. I will definitely ask you next time.
With Zhong Ming's help, things went very smoothly.
Zhao Liya and her friends bought sugarcane from three companies respectively.
Such a family can purchase a maximum output of less than 200,000 jin, which is less than 50 mu of output. For large-scale growers, it is not too much and they can share it.
One pound of sugarcane cost one cent. Zhao Liya and his team purchased a total of more than 423,000 pounds and paid about 430 taels of silver.
A red envelope of ten taels of silver was also given to Zhong Ming, who accepted it after some polite remarks.
After buying the sugarcane, the next step is to hire a car to transport it back.
Marco was surprised. Generally, donkeys were used for transportation and transporting goods here. Zhong Ming was familiar with the area, so he stepped forward to help them hire a donkey cart.
Zhong Ming looked for extremely strong donkeys, each of which could pull a thousand pounds. He hired a total of thirty donkeys. They made one round trip a day, and it would take them about ten days to complete the task.
This is just right, after all, it takes time to plant the sugarcane.
A donkey cart costs one hundred coins per day, so it would cost thirty-one or thirty-two taels of silver to transport all the sugarcane.
Fortunately, Zhong Ming stepped in and got the best price. Otherwise, every step would have cost a lot more.
This is the benefit of having acquaintances.
Whenever Zhao Liya and Hu Ling talked about it, they were grateful to Mr. Zhou.
Mr. Zhou has helped them a lot!
It's a pity that I couldn't meet him and thank him in person this time.
But since he has appeared here, I believe we will have the chance to meet again in the future. I must thank him very much when the time comes.
It takes manpower to collect and load the sugarcane here, and it also takes manpower to work with the fleet. After a discussion among the few people, Zhao Liya went back first, while Hu Ling and Ruan Guishu stayed here.
Hu Ling was worried at first, but Zhao Liya smiled and explained, "Our area isn't far from here. I estimate it's only about fifty miles away. We can get there in less than half a day by hiring a car. Don't worry! Besides, am I that easy to bully?"
It's good enough that she doesn't bully others.
Hu Ling was speechless
What should I do if I’m still worried?
Uncle Ruan Gui and the village head didn't know that she was a good fighter, and they were still worried.
In the end, it was Zhong Ming who helped to call a taxi. With Zhong Ming's instructions, it would definitely be safe and sound. Everyone was relieved.
Zhao Liya returned to the village and told her parents that the matter had been settled. The whole family was very happy.
But next, it will be very busy.
The next day, she was going to Zaihu Village. After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Liya said to Qu Yutao, "Cousin, do you want to go with me?"
Qu Yutao was a little confused at first: "Huh?"
Zhao Liya smiled generously, "My cousin is so capable. I think it's a shame for her to stay at home doing chores all day. Why don't you come with me and help me? I don't want my cousin to help me for nothing. How about a monthly wage of 300 wen? When we make money from this batch of sugarcane, there will be extra silver as a bonus, and the monthly wage will also increase."
"This - we are family, what's the point of talking about wages?" Qu Yutao's eyes sparkled, a little excited: "Can I really help? I, I don't know anything."
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "It's the same for me. We all learn slowly. The uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law in Zaihu Village are all very nice. With their help, we don't have to worry about much."
Qu Yutao nodded repeatedly: "As long as you don't mind me causing trouble, of course, of course I'm willing!"
Zhao Liya laughed heartily: "How could that be? I'm so happy!"
When the two of them told their family about this, the Zhao family naturally had no objection. Widow Qu was also very happy. She kept urging Qu Yutao to go and told her to help well.
