Chapter 1079 Changping County Lord 27
This time I bought charcoal with all my income.

After reporting the accounts, Xiao Zhan took the bamboo slips and said: "All last year's charcoal, cotton-padded clothes, and even quilts in the capital have been harvested. The grain has basically been purchased, and the grain in the capital is still at the original price."

At that time, the purchase of grain was based on not allowing the capital to raise prices.There is already a lot of food in the capital, and every time I go to collect three to five hundred loads, I can make up all of it within two days.

Xining nodded, thought for a while and said, "The one who was injured, I will give him five taels of sympathy, and he will be given three days off."

He was punched and the corner of his mouth cracked, but he got five taels of silver!You must know that you can get so much money by getting up and letting the soldiers punch you.

But what Lin Butler thought was that after getting so much money, he only spent five taels of silver, which is really worth it!

Xining said again: "You two have worked hard, go down and rest first."

Instead, he said to Steward Xiao, "I'm going to find two safe people. I want to write a thank you form and bring it back with the angel. By the way, I'll bring twenty sheep as a tribute."

When Xiao Zhan and Lin Butler heard this, they immediately stopped moving.Both said they could do the job and they weren't tired.

The corner of Xining's mouth curled up, knowing what the two of them were thinking.Still asking Xiao Zhan to write the pen, she read it, and Xiao Zhan wrote: "God's grace is mighty, and my ministers are grateful."

Where is the gratitude, where is the tears?Xiao Zhan's pen froze for a moment, and then began to write.

The meaning of the letter is that I didn't expect the sheep to be so popular. If this is the case, I will pay [-] heads every month on time to show my heart.

As for the fact that merchants are particularly prevalent and the ministers and daughters are terrified, it is really helpless. After all, Linyi County has been ruined by the war, and there are almost no taxes, so they can only do some business along the way.But all the money obtained is used in the county.

Since the minister said it was not good, he would never do business in the capital again.

After finishing writing, tie a rope, sprinkle hot pepper on it, and knock the county lord's gold seal on it as a seal.

"Let Steward Lin deliver the sheep and the letter." Xining handed the sealed bamboo slips to Steward Lin: "I don't worry if you handle the matter. Find another person to accompany you."

Lin Butler thought to himself, this is also an easy job, so he took the bamboo slips and agreed.

Xi Ning leaned on the soft pillow and shook the round fan lightly: "As for Guanshi Xiao, after three days of rest, I still have something for you to do."

Butler Lin wanted to ask what was going on, but he didn't dare to ask.You can't make him look like a spy, even if the county lord has doubts about him, but before he is exposed, it's just suspicion.Suspicion cannot be deepened.

Guanshi Xiao couldn't help but asked: "Dare to ask the county magistrate, what's the appointment in three days?"

Let others guess, it is better to say it clearly.Xining waved his fan, but did not pretend to be esoteric, and said directly: "There is no way to do business in the capital, and the things there are also expensive. I thought about waiting to avoid the limelight during this period. Come on It’s been a while, and there has been no banquet, so I want to hold a lotus root banquet in a month’s time.”

It is now the end of summer. Although the weather is still hot, the lotus flowers in the pond here are almost in bloom, and indeed only lotus roots are left.

Xining waved his fan and said lightly: "I plan to entertain unmarried men and women of a little family background in the whole county. Housekeeper Xiao made a list, and there are more than 30 in total. There are not enough lotus roots in the pond, so I sent you to Jiangnan to buy them." Come back with some lotus root."

Guanshi Xiao immediately said: "Yes, county magistrate, I will definitely handle the matter well."

Lin Butler secretly heaved a sigh of relief, as long as he knew what to do, otherwise he would have a headache if he was questioned in the capital but couldn't come back.

After going out, first arrange chariots, horses and boats, and at the same time ask people to go to the market to ask the Huns to buy twenty fat sheep.After the servants who came to proclaim the decree had a good meal, Steward Lin followed them back to the capital.

Nearly three days later, Xining called Guanshi Xiao over and made a shopping list for this trip to Jiangnan.

Xiao Zhan looked at the bamboo slips, then looked at them carefully and then asked with certainty: "The county chief wants to buy three hundred dans of lotus root?"

"Yes!" Xining picked out a candied fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, it was sour and sweet, very delicious.

Guanshi Xiao read to the bamboo slips: "Three hundred tans of lotus roots, fifty catties of Ma Bosan, and one hundred bamboos grown."

The lotus root is still understandable, but three hundred tans is too much, and ten tans is enough to hold a lotus root feast.Three hundred loads, almost half a county, and every household eats lotus root.

Huan Mafeisan fifty catties, Mafeisan is a medicine, invented by Hua Tuo, drink a bowl when there is pain or bone setting, even if the pain can not be completely eliminated, most of it can go away.If it is used well, just like Hua Tuo, bone scraping can be used to heal wounds.

But fifty catties of Mafeisan, how many people would it take to finish it!

There are also a hundred bamboos. Bamboo is abundant in the Jiangnan area. The price is cheap, but it can be cheaper. What are you buying so much for?

Did the county lord use the money he earned, buy, buy, buy?

Before Xiao Zhan considered whether to say it or not, he heard the county magistrate Youyou say: "If you can't get Mafeisan together for a while, it doesn't matter. Every time you go out in the future, slowly bring them back in batches. By the way, these things are not very expensive. Light, need something to weigh the boat, right?"

Lotus root and bamboo are very light, not like grain.Guan Xiao saluted: "Exactly, the county lord!"

Xining squinted his eyes, looking dazed and carefree: "Then go buy some iron ingots, it's not easy to go back and forth once, don't waste it! If you can't buy iron ingots, just buy kitchen knives, shovels, and iron pestles. Anyway, it’s iron, it’s cheap.”

There is also such a thing that is not wasted. Where did this iron ingot come from? Can it be sold after transporting it back?

Anyway, the money belongs to the county lord, so he can do whatever the county lord says!
Xiao Zhan also said: "The Jiangnan area has long been a land of fish and rice, and there are many swordsmiths among the people. Iron ingots are not difficult to get!"

"Just iron, not weapons!" Xining reminded: "Don't let people down."

"Yes, the county lord!" Xiao Zhan took the order, and the next day he took a few servants and rode to Liaodong, and from there he went to Jiangnan by boat.

Xining sighed slightly. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal will have to wait at least 300 years before it can be dug out. It is really inconvenient to go to Jiangnan now.

On Xiao Zhan's way to Jiangnan, Steward Lin also arrived in the capital.

The gratitude table Hanwang is not allowed to be read, just take it over to read.After looking up and down several times, I couldn't help laughing.

Because of being punished, the waiter received a court rod and was still lying down.The new servant next to him asked involuntarily, "Why is Your Majesty so happy?"

The king of Han smiled and looked at the gratitude watch: "This Changping county lord is really good at being a man. From now on, he will pay tribute to twenty sheep every month."

It is said that the king of Qinling and the king of Han never waited for Changping county lord. The servant lowered his head and laughed with him: "There are only twenty sheep, which is too little. There is not enough. If you want to pay tribute, it is better to have more!"

The King of Han shook his head: "Twenty is quite a lot. If it is given once a year, there will be more than 200. Call Lin Heqing in."
