Farming at the beginning, I rely on business to counterattack and become a princess

Chapter 28
The soldiers were divided into two groups, and the conversation was divided into two ends. When Si Tujun returned to the county, it was already dark, and the shopkeepers in the department store were closing their doors. The shopkeeper Sun had gone home early, so he had no choice but to go to Sun's house.

Shopkeeper Sun lives in Yonghe Lane on the outskirts of Yide Lane, which is relatively close to the center of the county. Mr. Si Tujun and him are relatives of the same clan, and they have walked around in the past, so they are quite familiar with each other.

Hearing Si Tujun's intentions, shopkeeper Sun was a little surprised. He didn't expect so many people to grab a toothpaste basket. Who wants it?Is it difficult for anyone?
What was said was the water that was thrown out, and that Miss Zhang came back to wander around the store, if she saw that the toothpaste basket was gone, there would be another scene.

It's okay for that unruly girl to make a fuss, I'm afraid that losing the big family of the Zhang family will outweigh the gain, but Si Tujun is a relative after all, so it's hard to refuse.

Shopkeeper Sun pondered for a while, but still told the truth, using a tactic: "Sun Jun, according to our relationship, you have already spoken, so I must give it to you."

"However, the toothpaste basket is really selling well. The Zhang family sent someone to order ten of them in one go. I kept the last one on the pretext that the toothpaste basket was a sample. It may take a few days before I can withdraw it. I'll find a way to send it to you later."

"Is that so?" Si Tujun was very stunned, he didn't realize that this toothpaste basket was really a treasure, so he asked again: "Where did this thing come from?"

"Hey, it was sent by a kid for sale, saying that it is the secret recipe of the ancestors."

"But we locals?"

"I looked at it, and the accent is the same as ours. Isn't it the end of the month? I thought, he will come to pay the bill in a few days."

"That's just right, please remember to reserve five for me."

"Five? Each toothpaste basket sells for a tael of silver!"

"What? One tael of silver! There's no reason for it to be so expensive!" Si Tujun was stunned, he never expected that poor brother Wen would give him such an expensive gift, it's really --- awesome.

"That's the price set by the consignee. Don't even mention it, you can't grab it."

Si Tujun was in a dilemma. He didn't expect the toothpaste basket to be so expensive. Although he could afford it with his financial resources, he couldn't just buy a few of them casually. But if he didn't buy them back, how would Madam pass the test?After thinking about it, he decided: "Then I'll just book two."

"Okay, no problem, I'll definitely keep it for you."

Si Tujun thanked shopkeeper Sun for coming out, it was already dark, the master and servant hurried home, and the harvest of Wenjia Village could only be reported to the county magistrate tomorrow.

When she got home, Mrs. Situ was already upset and anxious. When she heard what Situjun conveyed to shopkeeper Sun, she was also stunned:
This thing is so popular and so expensive.The other two toothpaste baskets given by the girl before, she has already sent to Mrs. Magistrate and Mrs. Xiancheng. If they are still kept, can they be sent to the nobles in Fucheng immediately!
Woohoo, my heart hurts——
"Master, I really can't see it. That girl from the Wen family can actually give such expensive things?" No wonder Mrs. Situ looked down on the brothers and sisters of the Wen family. Just by looking at their clothes, they could tell that they couldn't afford such things. people.

"Hey, madam is right. I never imagined that they would respect your master and me so much. They appreciate it." Si Tujun twirled his beard and smiled. He thought that the brothers and sisters of the Wen family gave him respectful things out of their own pockets. , very satisfied.

"Can't you give us the samples first?" Mrs. Situ still had a heartache. She used the toothpaste basket for a while, and she was very satisfied. My master.

"Hey, didn't shopkeeper Sun say that it will be delivered to us in a few days."

In a few days, a few days, who knows what will happen in a few days, the woman's intuition makes Mrs. Situ's heart empty, and she always feels that it will fly away in a few days.

What's more, it's special when things are sent out fresh. How can we show our filial piety when it's rotten on the street! !
"Don't worry, I've ordered two more, and when the goods arrive, we'll be able to get them."

"Oh, that's the only way to go." Mrs. Situ couldn't think of a better way.

Early the next morning, Si Tujun rushed to the yamen to report to the county magistrate about the bumper harvest in Wenjia Village.

"Fourteen stone?"

"Yes, it's absolutely true. According to my subordinates' personal testimonials, fourteen stones are produced from two acres of land!"

"Okay, okay, well done, master, draw up a document for me immediately, and I will go personally to announce the good news to Master Tongzhi."

"Yes, my subordinates are going to draw it right now." The master flattered him a few words, and quickly spread the paper and ink, writing like a god.

"Sun Situ, where are the fourteen stone crops now?"

"Go back to your lord, the harvest is still there in Wenjia Village, and the subordinates have arranged to guard it."

"Well, hurry up and arrange for people to transport the fourteen stone harvest to our yamen."

Hearing this, Si Tu hesitated for a moment and said, "How much is it appropriate to keep them? It may be inappropriate not to keep them. After all, everyone in the village is staring at them."

How much is appropriate to stay?The county magistrate was so excited, he never thought that he would set aside some for the original owner. Now that Mr. Situ said so, it makes sense. Wenjia Village is a big village, and the patriarch is quite good at handling things. He can't handle things as he wants, otherwise It's hard to clean up when there is a mess.

Seeing that the county magistrate seemed to be frowning, Si Tujun suggested cautiously: "My lord, forgive me, but my subordinates are overstepping. I think that I should leave them a few stones anyway. In addition, the patriarch Wen also asked to be exempted from Wen Dao. field tax, and purchase the crops at the price of rice.”

"Have you heard?"

"It's the kind of boy with sweet potatoes, yams, and jade. He is indeed a good farmer!"

"Well, how many acres of land does his family have?"

"Only four acres of land."

"The land tax for four mu of land is not much, so let's get rid of it if it is waived; the price of rice is no problem, as for how much to keep? I think it's about the same to leave three or four shi, and you can figure out the rest."

"Yes, my lord, I still have an idea. How about arranging for Wendao to give a speech, and let several surrounding villages send people to participate, so that the planting can be spread out on a large scale in the coming year, and the harvest will definitely be considerable."

"Okay, Sun Situ, you have a good idea. If the harvests of several villages come up, then next year's political performance will be stable. That's it. Let's do it this way." The county magistrate agreed with a smile.

"Then the subordinate will do it now."

"Go."

After being praised by the county magistrate, Si Tujun was full of energy, and went straight to Wenjia Village after leaving the county office.

When I arrived at Wen Dao's house, I told you what the magistrate wanted, and Wen Dao immediately agreed; Mr. Situ thought it would take a lot of work, but I didn't expect Brother Wen to be so knowledgeable and able to do things. It's good, it's good, it has a future .

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Xiang also told Lord Situ that he could not eat sprouted yams, but the excuse was that before, his hens died after eating germinated yams, but nothing happened if they ate germinated yams , alive and kicking.

This unexpected episode made Si Tujun a little bit astonished, but after careful consideration, he still felt that the problem was not serious, and he just had to be careful before eating, so he felt relieved.
