Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 495 Gains and Losses
At this moment, Fan Zhengyun couldn't care less about the pain in his face and mouth. He glared at his elder brother, and roared, "Supplying the Northwest Forbidden Army at such a price every year? How is it possible! Brother, you want to kill my younger brother? You signed these contracts on purpose What is the purpose of the book?"

Fan Zhenghong shook his head: "It's not a lot of money, but it's not too bad. After all, the monthly salaries of the guys can still be paid out, and it can be maintained—"

The more Fan Zhengyun listened, the more furious he felt, "Damn! If I really recognized these contracts of yours, wouldn't I have worked so hard for a year, all for the belly of the Western Army? You are so heartbroken, even Brothers are all cheating!"

He lowered his head and flipped through the contract, with golden stars in front of his eyes.

"And these, what are these! The price of grain is not reduced in a good year, and the price of grain is not increased in a bad year. It is a deed of mutual agreement and notarized in the yamen. You—you crazy!"

In the grain business, you can earn a lot of money by relying on the price reduction in good years, storing more grain, and selling it at a high price in disaster years.

Before taking over the business, his mind was full of business experience, and he had countless sweet dreams. As a result, he couldn't wait to look through the ledger just now, only to find that under the palm of his elder brother, the biggest and most important of the Fan family, he had drunk several times. The food store that I mentioned complacently later turned out to be a bottomless pit, a big pit.

Immediately, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, he was beaten so cold that his heart was cold, his nose was sore, Fan Zhengyun burst into tears, and while crying, he sat on the ground with his limbs in the air, dancing wildly, and scolded: "Fan Zhenghong, you You bastard tortoise, you lied to my brother, you bastard, I've neglected your eight generations of ancestors, you deserve it for not being able to have children, you deserve it for raising other people's wild species, you deserve it—"

Fan Zhenghong's expression changed suddenly: "Shut up!"

Guests: "..."

Fan Zhengyi was also angry at first, but now he was dumbfounded when he heard his second brother scolding him like this, and said blankly: "Second brother? You, you... It's not going to happen, just scold the elder brother a few words, don't scold the ancestors Ah, that is also our ancestor, although we are not our own, we were raised by our mother, we are Fan's family."

Gu Xiang was talking to Xue Ying, and when he heard the words, he finally looked up, smiled, and said to Fan Zhengyun, "Don't you want food? Don't you want a ship?"

"..."

Fan Zhengyun remained silent, "I don't recognize this contract."

He obviously couldn't bear the fat in his mouth.

Fan Zhenghong gave him a fixed look, with a cold look on his face: "It's already given to you, it's up to you whether you want to admit it or not, and you will only be responsible for the consequences."

Fan Zhengyun was stunned for a moment, tears burst into tears again.

He is just a businessman, and he has not made any achievements under the pressure of his elder brother these years. Even a businessman is not a big businessman. How dare he fight against the wolf-like Western Army?

Are those generals so easy to mess with?

Fan Zhengyun couldn't help crying and scolding again: "Fan Zhenghong, you just don't like me, you lunatic, you did it on purpose, you ate and drank enough, enjoyed enough, and made a lot of money, now you are going to be unlucky You still want to drag me into the water, what are you!"

Fan Zhenghong lowered his head, with a stiff face, and said nothing, but Gu Xiang's face sank, and he said coldly: "You don't know how to read the account books? Since Fan Ji Liang was established, it just doesn't make money."

"Since more than 20 years ago, Fanji Food Co., Ltd. has been delivering food and grass for the imperial court for free to support the frontier army at low prices."

Of course, such things cannot be publicized. If a businessman dares to intervene in the army's rations, let people know how much right and wrong will be caused, and how much fear will be attracted?
Of course, the Fan family can't do this openly.

In fact, if it weren't for Princess Changrong's bridge and matchmaking, if it wasn't for the friendship between Princess Changrong and His Majesty today, life and death could be entrusted to her, and the Fan family would not be able to do this.

Gu Xiang raised his eyebrows coldly: "Everyone says that I am rich and honored, and I don't lack money, and the army doesn't lack food and pay, but whether it is lacking or not, only the soldiers of the frontier army know."

"And in the early years of my dynasty, today's floods and next year's droughts, rich and noble families can still support them, and it often happens that poor places change their children to eat. There are many places that are all supported by Fan's family's grain business. In case of a famine, I tried my best to provide relief, and I dare not say anything about helping the world, but in the end, I saved the lives of countless people, and prevented many families from being separated from their wives and children, and their families were destroyed.

Gu Xiang's voice was slow.

The guests present were all stunned.

Han looked at the stands blankly, speechless for a moment.

She is a daughter of an aristocratic family, rich and noble since she was a child, and the poorest person she has ever seen is just a farmer on her own farm. She can eat brown rice and a piece of salted fish for half a month.

These were all she had heard the maids tell her as jokes, but she half believed them and just laughed them off.

She never thought about whether there are people outside the capital who don't have enough clothes, and whether there are people who don't know what it's like to be full all their lives.

Now she actually doesn't understand what the Fan family, a well-known wealthy businessman, has been doing these years.

At this moment, for some reason, she felt a faint, indescribable feeling in her heart, and felt a little melancholy.

Fan Zhengyun burst into tears, and said angrily: "Oh, it's nice to say, I'm not a stick like Fan Zhenghong, I don't want to be such a fool! What you said is lively and nice, if you have the ability, go do it Don't push it to me!"

Gu Xiang smiled: "Okay."

Her voice was very crisp.

As soon as the sound came out, everyone turned their heads to look over.

Fan Zhenghong was also surprised: "Little lady?"

Gu Xiang smiled slightly, and said to Fan Zhengyun: "How about I exchange it with you? Your brother gave me the Fan family's farm and several houses in the capital, as well as some gold and silver. I'll take these and exchange them for what you have. how?"

Fan Zhengyun was taken aback for a moment, apparently not expecting such an idiot as Gu Xiang to exist in the world, so he nodded his head in a hurry and stared at her: "Is it true?"

Gu Xiang smiled and said, "Really."

Fan Zhengyun frowned and stared at her hesitantly, thinking about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of any traps here.

Anyway, whether it is the grain line in his hand, or the boat, as long as he takes over, it is tantamount to carrying an extremely heavy burden. Not only is it impossible to make money, but the problem of doing white work is a problem that cannot be done well, and the contract is violated. I don't know that other right and wrong things will happen.

Those soldiers are so easy to deal with?

He thinks he doesn't have much ability, and it's fine to deceive ordinary people, but he dare not play tricks under the noses of those people.

Gritting his teeth, Fan Zhengyun said in a loud voice: "If you want to sign the final agreement in a serious manner, everyone in the yamen happens to be here."

Gu Xiang nodded.

Fan Zhenghong's eyes were blurred, and he also cried a little: "Little lady!"

Gu Xiangdao: "If the Fan family's food business is given to your younger brother, I think it is Mingzhu's secret investment. The princess and you have painstakingly planned for decades. If it is destroyed like this, how can we be reconciled?"

"I can get much more from doing these things than I will give."
