four and a half year old farm family pet

Chapter 1189 Betting with Tianhao
"Girl, you're here? Oh, it's not just an annoyance, it's going to overwhelm our entire Shangguan family!" Shangguan Yunhai held his head on his bald forehead and shook his head again and again, "You must have seen me on the way here. In addition to the developed fishing industry in Haizhou, the entire agriculture industry has basically been destroyed by this damn natural disaster. Many farmers in Haizhou, in order to save their own lives, have fled to other places and plan to find a new place to live. "

"Oh, so that's what happened. I saw a lot of refugees when I came here, and I heard about it more or less." Yuanbao seemed to understand a little after hearing this, and she couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible that Shangguan's family still has rice and grain?" Business, and it is closely related to the agriculture here in Haizhou? Otherwise, I can’t think of anything else that is worthy of your worries and troubles.”

"That's right, you little girl is really smart, you can figure it out with just a few clicks."

Shangguan Yunhai took a sip of tea, leaned back, looked at Yuan Bao with a relaxed expression, and said: "Haizhou has always been the foundation of our Shangguan family in Pingzhou. Every year, the seeds and seedlings used by farmers are If the Shangguan family gives money to buy it, if there is a good harvest, the Shangguan family can buy the best rice at the lowest price and then sell it, but no one expected that Haizhou will be drought like this this year. In the year of disaster, the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver invested by the Shangguan family in the past have been wasted."

Although these 10 taels of silver are not a big blow to the Shangguan family. After all, the Shangguan family is the head of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce. If they don’t have some family wealth, they really can’t survive. But the Shangguan family and Haizhou Farmers , signed a ten-year document, and only six years have passed. In the remaining four years, if the company loses several hundred thousand taels of silver every year, no matter how rich the Shangguan family's wealth is, it will be exhausted one day.

What's more, that's not all. The Shangguan family has signed supply agreements with the rice and grain merchants of the Sun Dynasty and the Corncob Dynasty. If there is a severe drought in Haizhou this year and there is no way to hand over the grain, then the Shangguan family will not be waiting for it. For such a simple investment of several hundred thousand taels of silver, the cooperating businessmen of these two dynasties had to be compensated for liquidated damages of no less than one million taels of silver.

After Yuanbao listened to what Shangguan Yunhai said, he realized what a big setback this natural disaster had caused to Shangguan's family.

"Old man, your Shangguan family is simply gambling with Tianhao! Ordinary farmers just rely on the weather to make ends meet. Your Shangguan family has been Confucian businessmen for generations. Why do you still make this mistake? This kind of business that relies on the sky to make ends meet. If you invest money, Are the risks greater than the benefits?”

Yuan Bao took a breath of cold air. On the way here, she heard passers-by say something vague, saying that Haizhou was vast, with such big cities and islands, and gambling everywhere. But she didn't expect that besides pearls, people could gamble to such an extent. .

With a ten-year contract, the Shangguan family wants to keep the farming investment of Haizhou farmers for ten years!

Shangguan Yunhai pulled his lips: "Who would have thought that Haizhou, which has always been rainy, has a pleasant climate, and is suitable for farming, would have such a day! There is a lot of sea water on the sea, but there is no way to irrigate it. Oh, forget it, the little girl knows this It's useless to say more, let's not talk about these unhappy things, you came to see my old man today, but has the second part of "The Romance of the Confucian Chamber" been written?"

"How can it be so fast? Old man, I came here to see you today because of the Qin family's affairs."

"Qin family? Qin Yuyan?" Shangguan Yunhai immediately thought of Qin Yuyan who was entangled with his grandson, and his expression suddenly turned a little ugly: "No matter what kind words you want to say to the Qin family, girl, you don't need to open your mouth, girl, look. For the sake of our cooperation, I would like to advise you to stay away from the Qin family and don't be dragged into the trap by them."

Otherwise, even if you are the princess, you will still be involved!
