This time I bought charcoal for all my income.

After reporting the account, Xiao Zhan held the bamboo slips and said, "All the charcoal, cotton coats, and even quilts in the capital have been collected. The grain has basically been purchased almost the same, and the grain in the capital is still the original price."

At that time, the grain was purchased based on preventing the capital from rising prices. The capital was originally full of grain, and each time I went to collect three to five hundred dans, and I could make up all of them in less than two days.

Xining nodded, thought for a while and said, "That person who was injured will give him five taels of silver and give him another three days off."

He just got a punch and the corners of his mouth burst, and he actually got five taels of silver! You know, you can get so much silver if you go up and get a fight with a blow to the soldier.

But Mr. Lin thought that he spent five taels of silver to get so much money, which is really worth it!

Xining said again: "Thank you two, please go down and rest first."

Instead, he said to Butler Xiao: "Go to find two safe people. I want to write a thanksgiving letter, take it back with the angel, and bring twenty sheep as tributes."

When Xiao Zhan and Butler Lin heard this, they stopped moving. Both of them said they were competent and they were not tired.

Xining's mouth curled up, knowing what they were thinking. She still asked Xiao Zhan to hold the pen. She read it, Xiao Zhan wrote: "The heavens are so kind, and the daughters are so grateful."

Where was I grateful and where was I crying? Xiao Zhan's pen tip was a little dull and then started writing.

The meaning of faith is that sheep are so popular. Since this is the case, twenty heads are paid on time every month to show their innocence.

As for the fact that it was said that the merchants were particularly strong and the ministers were frightened, it was a helpless move. After all, Linyi County was too broken by the war and there was almost no tax revenue, so there was only a way to get some business. But all the money earned was used in the county.

Since the ministers have said it is not good, they will never do business in the capital in the future.

After writing, tie a rope and drip it on it, and knock the county lord's golden seal as a seal.

"Let the butler Lin send the sheep and letter." Xining handed over the sealed bamboo slips to the butler Lin: "I don't worry if you do your business. You can find someone else to accompany you."

Butler Lin thought that this was also a relaxing job, so he took the bamboo slips and agreed.

Xining leaned against the soft pillow and gently swayed the fan: "As for Manager Xiao, after three days of rest, I have something to do."

Butler Lin wanted to ask what was going on, but he didn't dare to ask. He couldn't make him think of a secret spy. Even if the county lord had already doubted him, he just doubted before he exposes it. He couldn't make the doubt deeper and deeper.

Manager Xiao couldn't help asking: "I dare to ask the county lord, what's the matter with the appointment in three days?"

It would be better to say it clearly if someone else guessed. Xining shook the fan, but did not pretend to be profound, and said it directly: "The capital city has no way to do business, and the things there are also expensive. I thought to wait first and avoid the limelight of this period. It has been a while since I came, and I have not had a banquet, so I want to hold a lotus root banquet a month later."

It is now late summer. Although the weather is still hot, the lotus flowers in the pond here are almost blooming, and there are indeed only lotus roots left.

Xining shook the fan and said lightly: "I plan to invite unmarried men and women from all over the county with a little family background. Butler Xiao listed the list, and there were more than 30 people in total. The lotus roots in the pond were not enough, so I sent you to Jiangnan to buy some lotus roots back."

Manager Xiao immediately said: "Yes, the county lord, I will definitely get things done."

Butler Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew what to do. Otherwise, if he was asked when he arrived in the capital, he would not be able to come back, which would cause a headache.

After going out, he first arranged a carriage, horses and boats, and asked people to go to the market to ask the Huns that they had bought twenty fat sheep. When the eunuch who came to announce the edict was good to eat and drink, Butler Lin followed him back to the capital.

Almost three days later, Xining called Manager Xiao and listed the shopping list for this trip to Jiangnan.

Xiao Zhan looked at the bamboo slips, then looked carefully and then asked with certainty: "The county mainly bought three hundred dans of lotus root?"

"Yes!" Xining picked a candied fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. It was sour and sweet, and it was quite delicious.

Manager Xiao said to Zhu Jian: "Three hundred dans of lotus root, fifty kilograms of Ma Feisan, and one hundred bamboos grown."

This lotus root is understandable, but three hundred dans are too much. Buying ten dans is enough to hold a lotus root banquet. Three hundred dans are almost half a county, and every household has eaten lotus root.

There are 50 kilograms of Ma Fei Powder, which is a medicine. Hua Tuo found out that if you have pain or drink a bowl when you are inseparable from bones, you can still get rid of most of the pain even if it cannot be completely eliminated. If you use it well, just like Hua Tuo, you can scrape your bones and heal your wounds.

But how many people will take to finish drinking the 50 kilograms of Mafei Powder!

There are also 100 bamboos. The Jiangnan region is rich in bamboo. It is cheap and it can be cheaper. What is the use of buying so many?

Does the county lord use money when he makes money, and buy it?

Before Xiao Zhan could think about whether he said that, he heard the county lord say, "If Ma Fei San cannot be collected for a while, it doesn't matter. Every time he goes out, he will slowly bring it back in batches. By the way, these things are not very light and require some things to hold the boat, right?"

Lotus roots and bamboos are all very light, not like food. Manager Xiao bows: "That's right, county lord!"

Xining narrowed her eyes, looking confused and slackening: "Then go buy some iron ingots. It's not easy to go back and forth, don't waste it! If you can't buy iron ingots, just buy a grocery knife, shovel, and iron pestle. Anyway, it's iron, it's cheap."

There is also something like this that is not wasted. Wherever the iron ingot is, can it be sold when transported back?

Anyway, the money belongs to the county lord, so you can do whatever you say!

Xiao Zhan also said: "The Jiangnan region has not been a place of fish and rice for a long time, and there are many sword-casting masters among the people. Iron ingots are not difficult to make!"

"Just as long as iron, don't have weapons!" Xining reminded: "You can't leave any talk to others."

"Yes, county lord!" Xiao Zhan took the order and took a few slaves to Liaodong on horseback the next day, and took a boat to sea to Jiangnan from there.

Xining sighed slightly. The Grand Canal of Beijing-Hangzhou will have to wait for at least three hundred years before it can be dug out. It is really inconvenient to go to Jiangnan now.

On Xiao Zhan’s way to Jiangnan, Butler Lin also arrived at the capital.

The King of Han didn't let anyone read it, so he took it over and read it. After reading it up and down several times, he couldn't help laughing.

The eunuch was punished and was still lying down because he was punished. The eunuch who had come to serve him next to him couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so happy?"

The King of Han smiled and looked at the thanksgiving statement: "This Changping County Lord is really good at being a human being. From now on, he will pay tribute to twenty sheep every month."

It is said that the King of Qinling and Han Dynasty have always disliked the Lord of Changping County. The eunuch lowered his head and smiled: "It's only twenty sheep, so there are too few, so how can it be enough? It's better to pay more tribute!"
