Upon hearing this, Wang Yunjuan frowned and asked, "Jiaoniang, your restaurant business is doing quite well, how come you're short of money?"
And what about the grain your family sent over? They didn't ask you for any money?
Large grain merchants, with substantial assets, shouldn't be unable to operate with such a small amount of grain and medicinal herbs.
"My restaurant business before the Lunar New Year was affected by the disaster in the Jianzhou area, so everything was expensive."
Apart from Anping County, Anning County, including Jianzhou Prefecture, was also operating at a loss.
However, with the support from Jinling and Anping counties, overall, they didn't lose money, but they didn't make much either.
Moreover, all the money obtained was used by my husband, Old Zheng, to help the people.
As for his maternal family, you know they spent a lot of money to get Old Zheng to come here and follow Lord Fang.
It can be said that my Qiao family has lost at least 30% of its wealth.
The remaining 70% was used to subsidize food and medicinal herbs.
Sister Juan, Anping County has been affected by the disaster since October. The people have never bought expensive grain, and no one has starved to death. You should know how much grain I brought over.
And you should have heard recently what the situation is like in the entire Jianzhou Prefecture, except for Anping County.
Medicinal herbs are more expensive than grains. Half of the medicinal herbs my family grows are bought on credit.
Therefore, if the soap and soap business is profitable, the money should be used to pay off debts first.
It wasn't that she wasn't tempted, but rather that she didn't want to deceive innocent bystanders.
They've already cooperated on this side, but they're still delaying the distribution of funds on the other.
She is now explaining her difficulties, and if both sides can reach an agreement, then the business will continue.
If that doesn't work out, she can only feel regret and then focus her attention on the new dishes.
After listening to what Qiao said, Wang Yunjuan fell silent.
She didn't say something as mindless as "Is it really necessary to fill this gap?"
Anyone with a brain and eyes in Anping County should know how good their county is under the management of Lord Fang.
Compared to other places, this place is like a fairyland.
They don't have to worry about anything. As long as they follow the adults' lead, they can do whatever the adults tell them to do.
People in other places, however, were thinking about how to survive and how to escape.
Once this matter settles down, the young lady's husband will definitely be promoted.
Between money and power, power is naturally more important.
Even the wealthiest person can be imprisoned and left with nothing by a single word from someone in power.
Thinking about all this, she didn't say anything more, but turned to look at Chi Yu.
Chi Yu and her sister exchanged a glance, and then she asked:
"Sister Qiao, didn't the common people pay for the grain that your family brought over?"
If you spend money to buy it, even if you don't make a profit, you should at least recoup some of your investment, right?
I've heard that Lord Fang is not short of money, so he must have contributed quite a bit.
Qiao gave a wry smile and said, "Some of the money was returned, but I didn't send it back."
All the money obtained was taken by my husband, Lao Zheng.
Although Lord Fang has money, the entire county has a population of fifty to sixty thousand, and since October of last year, the disaster-stricken people have had to spend money on everything.
The money that the common people used for food, drink, and winter clothing was all paid for by Lord Fang from other merchants in the county town.
As for what my husband, Lao Zheng, took, he said it was for backup.
I hadn't touched it before, but now I finally understand what "backup" means.
This morning, before he left home, he said he wouldn't be coming back for a while.
He and County Lieutenant Wang wanted to personally lead men to repair the outer city wall.
