But I didn’t expect that this time I returned to Beijing.
He got some unconventional news from the shopkeepers of various businesses.
For example, Dong Qiang took advantage of the drought to increase the price of the grain store he managed by two times, selling grain at sky-high prices.
However, the records in the accounts of the grain dealers who sold them at sky-high prices showed a loss.
For example, during this year, Dong Qiang had contacts with all the princes' followers in the capital, and did a lot of work for them in raising food and fodder.
…
Each and every one of these things touched Dong Shanshan's bottom line.
It also made him realize that the old ones are the most experienced, no wonder his grandfather and his grandparents. No matter what, the second wife's family would not be allowed to get involved in the family business.
"Hey, Shanshan, you have to deal with this as soon as possible." Madam Dong said with a serious expression.
Dong Shanshan nodded, "Don't worry, mother, I will hurry up to avoid any more trouble."
The mother and son talked to each other without any hesitation when talking about Qian Chunhua.
Qian Chunhua felt a lot in his heart. It seems that every family has a few troublesome relatives.
Just like myself, when I first traveled through time and met the eldest branch of the Zhao family, they were also a troublesome family. What's more, now the couple have died and will not bother me anymore.
Qian Chunhua was very grateful.
…
Unfortunately, Qian Chunhua was too early to rejoice.
In the suburbs of Nanzhou County, Yongning Prefecture, in the manor of Landlord Sun.
As soon as the news spread that his family was selling their land and farm at a low price, people from the neighborhood, big and small, who had some spare money, came to his door.
After receiving wave after wave of buyers.
Landlord Sun and his son were extremely discouraged.
These were all small buyers. No big family was willing to buy all of the land in Landlord Sun's family. The money they had was only enough to buy about ten acres.
Moreover, the price is 30% lower than before the disaster.
"Dad, why don't we just sell it in retail and reduce the price by only 20%." Brother Sun rubbed his brow. He had a headache after a whole day of bargaining.
Landlord Sun remained silent. These fields were passed down from his ancestors and his heart was bleeding.
If the land was handled in this way, the family would lose at least two thousand taels of silver.
Two thousand taels! After going to the capital, I don’t know when I can earn it back.
Just when Landlord Sun was hesitating, a servant came to report that his brother-in-law and nephew wanted to see him.
Son-in-law? Landlord Sun was a little confused for a moment.
"Dad, I'm afraid it's the child of our eldest brother Yongwen." Second brother Sun reminded him.
Yes, yes, yes, brother-in-law and nephew. I only have one brother-in-law in my family, and that is Zhao Yongwen.
His nephew should be the child of the first and second wives of the Zhao family.
It’s just that the second branch of the family has already gone to the capital, so the one who wants to see the child now can only be the child of the first branch of the Zhao family.
Landlord Sun had heard something about the disputes within the Zhao family. He didn't want to get involved, but now that they had come to his doorstep, he had no choice but to meet them.
"Let them in." Helplessly, Landlord Sun could only meet them once to see what they wanted.
After a while, two beggars, a man and a woman, came to Landlord Sun's main room.
Without waiting for Landlord Sun to speak, the two men fell to their knees and kowtowed hard.
"Please, Master Sun, save us two brothers and sisters."
