Chapter 82 Teahouse for Buying and Selling News
When Aunt Lin was planning to get married, the strength of the Zhang Family Medicine Store was comparable to that of the Lin Family. However, in the past ten years or so, the Zhang Family had made three or four major decision-making errors, resulting in a sharp decline in the strength of the Zhang Family Medicine Store.
The Zhang family's business was not doing well, but instead of looking for reasons within themselves, they falsely accused their in-laws of being a hindrance and robbed their business.
When Lin Ruyu's grandfather was alive, for the sake of his eldest daughter, he did not argue with the Zhang family and even helped the Zhang family once. Unexpectedly, the Zhang family was ungrateful and instead relied on the Lin family. Even Aunt Lin felt that it was her natal family.
She robbed her husband's business and made her lose face in her husband's family.
When Lin Ruyu's grandmother passed away, the Zhang family went to Lin's house to pay homage, but they became very angry in front of Lin Ruyu's grandfather. Lin Ruyu's grandfather became angry and stopped helping.
Last year, Lin Ruyu's grandfather died suddenly of illness, and her mother took over the business. Businessmen in Xuanzhou, including the business owner, looked down on the Lin family and robbed the Lin family's business overtly and covertly, but the Fang family beat them back one by one. They were shocked.
I feel that the methods of this young matron of the Lin family are no weaker than those of the Lin family's grandfather, so I don't dare to act rashly again.
But Aunt Lin relied on her identity as the eldest aunt, put on airs in front of the Fang family, and used moral kidnapping to force the Fang family to give way to the Zhang family.
Fang followed her father-in-law's last words and did not do anything wrong, but when she came back this time, she went out of her way and kicked Aunt Lin out of the Lin family.
The reason why her mother did this was because she asked Lin Ruyu on the boat what exactly happened in the dream. Because her mother had already guessed so closely, Lin Ruyu told everything she knew.
Mrs. Fang has long believed that her daughter's dream after falling into the water was a revelation from Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Lin Ruyu, who had gone through hardships in her previous life, would not show mercy to the Zhang family mother and daughter. Seeing the trick, combined with her eldest aunt's methods, Lin Ruyu guessed that she would send someone, or even personally bring someone over to inspect the medicinal materials stored in the Lin Family Medicine Store.
The quantity, that’s why I gave this order.
After arranging the important events, Lin Ruyu asked about the medicinal materials that were to be transported to Wangping Town.
Lin Sheng replied, "We have prepared enough according to Madam's instructions. We can ship it tomorrow and it will arrive at Wangping Town within five days."
Lin Ruyu shook her head, "This batch of medicinal materials will not be allocated from Xuanzhou. Uncle Sheng sent people to find out how many medicinal materials are left in Xiacai or Qi County. If there are not enough in these two places, they will be allocated from other counties and villages near Wangping Town."
Warehouse deployment.”
The anti-epidemic medicines collected by the imperial court have not yet left the warehouse, and the Lin family has sent ships to transport the anti-epidemic medicines. Other companies will definitely use this as a basis to make a big fuss.
Lin Sheng immediately understood what the girl meant, "Young lady has thought carefully, I will cancel now..."
"The ship sent to Wangping Town does not need to be cancelled. An additional ship needs to be sent to transport clothing and food instead. The small ship will be unloaded in Wangping Town, and the large ship will be transported to Qixian County." After the materials were transported to Qixian County, Bao Caiwang Nagou was transported to Qixian County.
Bring things back.
Lin Ruyu tapped the order on the table, "However, we must make those who are watching us secretly think that what we are transporting are medicinal materials, and that not all the medicines in our medicine store's warehouse are medicinal materials."
The Lin family tree has attracted great attention. My mother cooperated with the Yamen this time, firstly out of goodwill, secondly to use this to confirm the title of the Lin family's "Confucian businessman", and thirdly, to sell the anti-epidemic medicinal materials in the Lin family medicine store through formal channels to avoid being exposed to others.
Thinking about.
It would be best to make people believe that the Lin family emptied their warehouses and barely managed to collect the amount that the Yamen wanted to recruit.
Lin Sheng's eyes lit up, "Girl, you are so clever!"
At this time, Lin Tai walked in from outside, raised his hand and saluted, "Girl, Master Shen Ge Shen is here."
As soon as he heard that Shen Ge had arrived, Lin Sheng immediately said, "Girl, how about you go out and greet Master Shen?"
The second day after Shen Ge settled down in Xuanzhou, he went to the Lin Mansion with gifts to recognize the door. Mr. Lin went out to greet him in person, so the servants of the Lin family all knew that this handsome young man was helping the Lin family's mistress return home. His benefactor treated him with great courtesy.
Seeing Shen Ge being invited in by the housekeeper of the Lin family, He Jiongming, who was standing at the door of the private room on the second floor, turned his left arm and was so shocked that An Jiachun broke out in white hair.
Zou Shun, who was following Shen Ge, raised his eyes to lock He Jiongming accurately, moved half a step forward to block Shen Ge's side. Shen Ge raised his eyes and glanced upstairs, then followed Lin Shenghe
Lin Tai entered the back hall...
Seeing Lin Ruyu, gentleness instantly replaced the sharpness in Shen Ge's eyebrows.
Lin Ruyu invited him to sit down, served tea, and asked, "Is that child on the street just now the grandson of Xu Lizhang?"
Shen Ge nodded, "In addition to the Xu family's mother and son, those beasts also arrested more than 20 people. The Yamen has taken over."
In the face of natural disasters, everything in the world is changing.
Some people lost their loved ones and homes due to disasters and were miserable; others took the opportunity to burn, kill and loot to make a lot of ill-gotten wealth.
Those who are struggling to make money for the country should be severely punished and killed as a warning to others. The "kill" here is real killing, because the laws of Bactria are several times more stringent than those of later generations.
Lin Ruyu explained the current situation to Shen Ge in detail and explained why the medicinal materials could not be transported from Xuanzhou Medicine Store.
Shen Ge listened carefully and gave Lin Ruyu some advice, "The Xu family has been found and there is no rush to return home in the next couple of days. The two ships of grain are even more on people's minds. When the people who ship out of Xuanzhou Medicine Store tomorrow make a fuss, you Ask the steward to build a ladder for the people in the yamen. The yamen will definitely go up the ladder. The people who initiated the trouble will take out a batch of disaster relief rice and transport it to the disaster area. When the time comes, your rice will be mixed with this batch of food and shipped out. The imperial court will send troops to escort the food, so you can save money on hiring escorts."
clever!
good idea!
Lin Sheng and Lin Tai nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and Lin Ruyu's eyes sparkled. After finalizing many details along this line of thinking, Lin Ruyu asked Shen Ge about his next arrangements.
Shen Ge smiled and said, "I plan to open a teahouse in the city."
"Teahouse? Is it to collect information?" It is not easy to open a high-end teahouse. The ordinary small teahouse earns hard money. Lin Ruyu knew as soon as she heard that Shen Ge chose this business not just to make money.
She only said about opening a teahouse, and she guessed her purpose. This tacit understanding of spiritual connection made Shen Ge's heart tremble, and he was speechless when he looked at Lin Ruyu's dark and smart eyes.
It wasn't until Lin Ruyu's eyes were stained with a little panic that Shen Ge was awakened, coughed with a hot face, and said, "Well, tea is sold in the open, and news is bought and sold in secret."
Buying and selling? Lin Ruyu suppressed the little throbbing in her heart and asked in a low voice, "Will there be any mistakes?"
In Lin Ruyu's memory, there seemed to be no such business in Daxia Dynasty.
"This is just a small business. As long as you have a good relationship, nothing will happen." At this point, the young man's handsome and slightly childish face showed a hint of pride, "I have already figured out the way and know who to deal with." Already."
Do you want to praise him yourself? Lin Ruyu raised her hand and said jokingly, "Brother Shen is so awesome, my little sister admires him so much."
It had only been four days since he came to Xuanzhou, and he had already found a place to stay, found his Xu family members who were scattered by the flood, and also selected a business to do. This is definitely not something that an ordinary seventeen-year-old boy can do. Lin Ruyu sincerely
