Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 62

Shi Zhongkui helped Xue Pan up, "But since Brother Pan mentioned the matter of the house, please help me to find it for you, and pay you back the debt with saffron.

One is that I have to concentrate on the imperial examination for my brother, and have no intention of looking for it.

The second is to suddenly let outsiders know about the brother's situation, which will always cause trouble.

You don't have to worry about these problems when you are signing your brother's gold list. "

Xue Pan wasn't suspicious at all, thought for a moment, and said wisely, "Brother is right, this matter is on me.

As for the saffron, my younger brother asked someone to transport it directly to the south for sale, so that no one would be suspicious.

Moreover, the price in the south can also rise from 120 taels a catty to 150 taels or even higher. "

Shi Zhongkui thanked him first, and then he understood after a little thought.

The capital is closer to the plateau, and the climate is drier. The cost of transporting more than a dozen catties of dried flowers is only three or two fast horses, and the cost will be much lower.

However, the southern road is farther away, there is more rain, and the air humidity is high. If the dried saffron is not paid attention to during transportation, the loss will be very large, and the price will of course be high.

I thought to myself that in the recent period, Space Farm has harvested 10 catties of dried flowers, and now I have become relatives with Xue Pan.

The Xue family has stores and businesses in both the south and the north, so it is indeed safe for the Xue family to sell on their behalf.

But he was a little worried about Xue Pan.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't you work hard every month and take 15 catties of saffron from Brother Wei. As for the money you sell, give it directly to Sister Baochai, what do you think?"

"This,."

These words were obviously meant to let Xue Baochai take charge of things, so Xue Pan would help him to do some practical errands.

But to be honest, Xue Pan is really looking forward to this. At this moment, he only thinks that his sister has started to control the Shi family's money before she is married. No one will be able to shake her position in the Shi family in the future.

It can be said that this guy has a whole body of problems, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, fighting and fighting, and even let the servant beat someone to death.

Even in modern society, he still has to go to prison to eat, but he has never done anything such as forcing a good man into prostitution, murder and arson.

And I really care about my sister.

The most important thing is that he is now Shi Zhongkui's brother-in-law.

The eldest brother of the future wife and the uncle of the future child, as soon as the relationship becomes close, Shi Zhongkui will inevitably start to love him.

"Okay, let's do it like this", Shi Zhongkui directly confirmed that anyway, the money is in the hands of his future wife, and he has to use it to pay back the house.

When Xue Baochai really gets married, he will also have to be a housekeeper, and this can also instigate the Xue family, uncle and future wife in disguise.

"Brothers, please bring some paper and ink with you before you come, and," said Shi Zhongkui, looking at the 140 field soldiers guarding the farmland.

Seeing that Xue Pan followed suit, he continued, "Although these soldiers came here under orders, it's hard to say whether they did their best.

For my brother, I thought about sending three sheep every three days in the future, and giving them some drinks every nine days. "

"Why not send it every day?"

Xue Pan said boldly, "A sheep is less than 2 taels of silver, 6 taels a day, and even drinks are just over 200 taels a month."

Shi Zhongkui shook his head with a smile, "Brother Pan needs to learn more about business management and people's hearts, so that he can master the Xue family's business in the future."

Moreover, Shi Zhongkui's other meaning is also very simple. Only when the food and drink are served, the soldiers and farmers will listen to him honestly.

On the contrary, when the Earth Temple was built and the banquet was held outside the temple, there was no need to find a reason to ask the field soldiers, farmers, and even more people in the farm to go to the Earth Temple.

If other people said this to him, it is guaranteed that Xue Pan would show an expression of impatience, and even sneer.

But now Shi Zhongkui can be regarded as the closest person besides his mother and younger sister, and he really admires him, so when the two get along, they unconsciously put themselves in the position of younger brother.

"Brother, don't go around in circles with younger brother and say something you don't understand."

Shi Zhongkui shook his head, "After eating meat every day for a long time, these soldiers will take it for granted, but one meal for three days, and only wine for nine days, this group of people have expectations in their hearts, and they will be more serious in daily life."

"Understood", Xue Pan nodded, but although he understood the principle, he was at a loss to transfer this example to the business and management of his family.

fool.

Shi Zhongkui sighed helplessly, but even if he married Xue Baochai in the future, he should not openly intervene in the Xue family's business, so as not to be suspected of his impure purpose.

Regardless of ancient or modern times, those who take advantage of other people's wealth, no matter what the result is, their reputation will definitely be ruined.

Patting Xue Pan on the shoulder, "Think about it slowly, but there is still one thing I need you to do for me."

It is better to ask Xue Pan to do ordinary business, but it is better to leave it to Shun Er, but it is more appropriate to leave it to him to spend money.

Hearing that Shi Zhongkui wants to build a land temple by himself beside the farm, in order to bless one side of the land, the weather will be smooth and the crops will have a good harvest.

On the contrary, the ancients paid more attention to this. It can even be said that unless it is not effective, the ancients still have a firm heart to pray for God's blessing.

Xue Pan immediately patted his chest and promised to get it done. In his opinion, it was nothing more than spending some money.

Three 500 taels is enough to deal with it, and one 2000 taels will show sincerity.

Sending off Xue Pan with ten catties of saffron, Shi Zhongkui ordered Liu Yu'er to hide it, and at night watched the water quality and the test field upstream, and then went back to the farm leisurely.

When Xue Pan returned home, he immediately went to see Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai.

Hearing that Xue Pan was looking for Shi Zhongkui, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai immediately felt relieved, and then said worriedly, "Pan'er, your uncle sent someone to look for you. Mother thought, it must have something to do with your sister's marriage."

As soon as Xue Pan heard that Wang Ziteng was looking for him, he immediately faltered.

Hearing that my uncle wanted to intervene in Baochai's marriage, he was immediately dissatisfied and said, "In my sister's marriage, the emperor is in charge, and uncle and I, the elder brother, are in charge.

Moreover, I even took away the tokens from others, and wrote the letter of engagement, so there is nothing else to discuss. "

Aunt Xue also knew that this was a foregone conclusion, but after all, Wang Ziteng was his own elder brother, Xue Pan and Xue Baochai's uncles, and the biggest officials in the four families of Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue in Jinling.

It can be said that in name Wang Ziteng is already the person with the most say in the four families and can even represent the common interests of the four families.

Seeing that Xue Baochai did not object, Xue Pan immediately gained confidence.

He murmured, "Besides, my sister has not yet married, but brother Boqian handed over the family's money to her, and he has a bright future. I don't think there is any need to discuss this matter, and there is no need to discuss it again."

"What are you talking about?" Aunt Xue asked hastily, "Pan'er, what do you mean Baochai is the housekeeper before she even passes the door?"

Xue Pan chuckled, "Mother and sister must have never imagined that the Shi family is not a poor family. On the contrary, they have quite a lot of money, and they also have a way to get money in their hands."

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were shocked.
