Chapter 231 ;
Chapter 231; So what if it’s true?
"I have long heard about the great achievements Wanfu County Lord has made for the people, and he has made great achievements for our women."
"I've always wanted to come over for a visit, and today I finally got my wish."
Luo Shi just sat down and looked at Lu Yaoyao with a smile.
After figuring out the situation yesterday, she immediately asked her servants to inquire about the Lord Wanfu County.
At this moment, the praise from her mouth was not just a false compliment.
A large part of it is admiration from the heart.
To think that she, an "orphan girl" who was abandoned and raised in Zhuangzi, could single-handedly become the Lord of Wanfu County in just a few months.
Not everyone has this ability.
Besides, everything she contributed is truly amazing.
Also, during this drought, the things she did to resettle thousands of victims, although she had some of her own purposes, her heart and her hand were indeed admirable.
Not to mention, wheat flour was produced later.
Speaking of this, she admired Lu Yaoyao's operations on wheat flour even more.
She said that Luo Shi in Guanbei had been involved in the grain business since she was a child. She was amazed that Lu Yaoyao saw the right opportunity and purchased wheat in large quantities at low prices.
From the wheat matter, Lu Yaoyao could be said to have gained both fame and fortune.
I won’t mention the name. Now when people in the capital say it’s wheat, they will definitely mention the Wanfu County Lord. Who wouldn’t give a thumbs up?
As for profit, she knew that Lu Yaoyao originally purchased the wheat for three cents per pound, but later sold it to the court for twice the price.
It stands to reason that if she sells this wheat to the public, the profit will be doubled at least several times.
But she gave it to the court. Perhaps some short-sighted people outside would think that she was a fool for doing such a loss-making business.
But Luo Che thought she was very smart.
Selling it outside can certainly bring in more profits, but it is very dangerous and the court will be more or less dissatisfied.
Since she has to make money anyway, it is best to give it to the court. If she makes money safely, the court will still owe her a favor.
This kind of invitation cannot be bought with several times of money.
"You are ridiculous."
"I was just lucky and succeeded in doing some opportunistic tricks."
Lu Yaoyao smiled and said modestly.
"County Lord, these are no small tricks. Don't they say that luck is also a part of strength?"
Lu Yaoyao smiled again.
The two of them just chatted for a while.
It was as if they had reached a tacit understanding in advance, and neither of them asked or stated their intentions.
After a while, Luo Shi realized that it was not okay to continue like this. If we didn't talk, there would be no need to talk.
With a plan in mind, she stood up first and saluted Lu Yaoyao.
Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao also quickly stood up and went to help him.
"What are you doing? You can't do it."
"I feel ashamed that I failed to discipline my rebellious and rude daughter-in-law."
"I will once again apologize to the county boss for her."
"this"
Lu Yaoyao was a little embarrassed.
This gift is neither accepted nor accepted.
If you accept it, that means you have accepted Luo Shi's apology for Han Yu, but Han Yu is from the Han family and she doesn't like it very much. She will never accept an apology or anything like that.
But don’t admit it, I came here today with a smile on my face, spoke very nicely, and was very polite.
She didn't want to impose her dissatisfaction with the Han family on Luo Shi.
"There is no need to be embarrassed, County Lord. I am only giving you this gift because I have not been a good mother-in-law and have not taught my daughter-in-law well."
"I don't mean to use this to ask her for mercy."
"What happened to her is all her own fault. I already asked people to inquire before I came here. She was just imprisoned and did not suffer any physical pain."
"It should be like this. Let her be detained for a few more days. She should be taught a lesson so that she will not be so wild and ignorant in the future."
Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao nodded and helped Luo Shi sit down.
"It stands to reason that today, Madam, you came to visit me in person. As a junior, I should give you face."
"But there are some things that this junior can't handle, so I ask the old lady to understand."
Her words at this time clearly meant that she and Han Yu had a personal grudge and had nothing to do with the Dong family.
If Han Yu was not from the Han family, I would definitely give Mrs. Luo this face if she came over today.
Luo Shi was also a shrewd person and immediately understood the implication of her words.
His face didn't show anything, but he still smiled and said: "The county master has clear grudges, I understand."
"She did not do something right this time. It would be better if we let her be detained for a few more days to teach her a lesson."
"Thank you for your understanding."
Lu Yaoyao nodded again. She also knew that the result for Han Yu would be to be locked up for a few days at most.
Now is not the time, she will not use this to deal with her, and Emperor Hongwen will not do this either.
"Um, County Lord."
"I came here this time because I actually want to ask for proof of something."
Hearing this, the smile on Lu Yaoyao's face slowly faded, he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Is it something to present to His Majesty for the future?"
When Luo Shi heard this, his eyes sharpened instantly and he looked at her intently.
"I wonder if the county chief can tell me whether this is true or false?"
Lu Yaoyao also looked at her, and their eyes met like this. After a while, she smiled.
"If it's true, what will happen to the Dong family?"
Luo Shi's heart skipped a beat.
She already had some answers, and after a moment she said, "Does the county master know what the Dong family relies on for its many years of inheritance?"
When I first heard these words, Du Du seemed to be threatening, but when I looked at Du Du's eyes and expression, there was nothing threatening at all.
This made Lu Yaoyao a little confused.
"This junior is not very clear about this. Can the old lady clarify my confusion?"
Luo Shi suddenly smiled, looked at Lu Yaoyao, and spoke carefully.
"Follow, respond to, time, trend."
"oh?"
Lu Yaoyao was startled at first, but then he understood immediately, nodded with a smile, and said with admiration; "These four words are easy to say, but not easy to do."
"If the Dong family can do this, the younger generation will admire them."
It is very simple to adapt to the current situation, but it is very difficult to do it in reality.
Because there are too many benefits in it, sometimes if you want to do this, you need to give up a lot of things.
This is not something that just anyone can make up their mind.
Dong family, maybe it can, otherwise it would not be possible for it to be passed down for so many years and still be as stable as Mount Tai.
But whether this is really possible, she still has reservations. After all, people's hearts are changing. The ancestors of the Dong family were able to deal with it soberly in the past, but it does not mean that the current Dong family can also do it.
"The Dong family is one of the few sober people I have seen over the years."
"I wonder if the county master can give me an accurate answer?"
she asked again.
"Of course, can the old lady move?"
Several people came to inquire about it, and they also kept it secret for this reason, which made them a little petty.
