Chapter 649： persuade

Qi Haoran made a very clear distinction. All the money from himself and the palace was nothing to put into the treasury, but A Ling's money could not be used here. If there was one, there would be two. The three brothers were filling the hole and it was black in front of him. How could he put his wife in the dark? Pull in too.

Ah Ling's dowry is used for their food, drink and lhasa, but it must not be used for business. He knew what Mu Yangling meant. First, he used her dowry to buy things and sell them in the capital. If you lose, she will be counted. If you win, you will be counted in the house, and then you will buy food and transport it back to Qiannan.

But when the food is brought back, A-Ling will definitely be soft-hearted again. After selling some of it, he must leave some for emergency. Can they watch the poor starve to death when they don’t receive it?

Therefore, in the end, this food must become relief food, and A Ling must lose money.

This time, next time Qiannan encounters a problem, they may do the same again. Over time, A Ling's dowry will be filled again.

Qi Haoran didn't want his wife to be wronged, and he didn't want the family to really eat chaff in the future, so this matter had to be rejected from the beginning.

Who let his eldest brother grab the country is a mess with a big hole. In the past six months, Qi Haoran and Qi Xiuyuan have been investigating the situation in various places, and only then did they know what Da Zhou had tossed this country into.

The grain depot was almost emptied, and the treasury didn’t leave a penny at all. Although a sum of gold was found from the floor tiles in Qin’s residence, after accounting, it was less than half of what Qin had embezzled, and the emptied treasury The silver and copper plates have not been found so far.

In addition, Daqi is full of Cangyi, and six or seven out of ten people are refugees. They have no fixed place to live, no permanent income, and no food and clothing. If they want to settle down, they need to spend a lot of money.

Three years of tax exemption, no tax revenue from the national treasury, Qi Xiuyuan can only pick up some of the more arrogant corrupt officials from the aristocratic family and the previous dynasty, but those are only a drop in the bucket. Most of the recovered hidden fields were distributed to hidden households, and the fields are long-term interests, and what they need now are emergency food and silver.

In the whole of Daqi, Xingzhou Prefecture, which has never been hit by war, Hanzhong Prefecture and Jingzhao Prefecture can squeeze out a little to help other places.

Because those who work in these three prefectures are Qi Xiuyuan's henchmen, and the new dynasty is established, they do not dare to embezzle, but they are limited in their support, because although life in the three prefectures is better than other places, they are not enough to eat and wear warm. People abounded, and Qi Xiuyuan couldn't squeeze the people of the north too much. That was where he thrived.

Therefore, brothers Qi Xiuyuan and Fan Zijin can only fill in this hole. Fan Zijin started his business and spent very little money on himself. Apart from the Northland property, he can also pay for the members of the Mu family and other income. , including the share given to Mu Yangling, they were all put into the treasury.

The state wants to stabilize the people, organize the people to build houses, measure the land, and divide the land for permanent production. The cost is from them. When planting in summer, Jiangnan advises the farmers to cultivate the seeds of mulberry, and the agricultural tools are from them. The money still has to be taken from Fan Zijin. Now, Fan Zijin is already preparing the money for Qi Xiuyuan in the spring of next year, because spring means seeds, farm tools, cattle, water conservancy, all of which cost money!

Qi Haoran was a little scared, he didn't care how much he put in his own money, but he would be an **** if he also filled in all A Ling's dowry.

So he was reluctant to use A Ling's dowry, he was afraid that it would not stop once it was used, Qi Haoran whispered his concerns while holding A Ling.

Mu Yangling patted him on the shoulder and said, "The dowry is in my hands, you don't have to pass through me? Don't worry, I'm not that generous, you see, except for Zijin's money, it passes through my business. When have I ever lost money? Although I help people, I always do what I can. I still have you and the bear to support, and now our family has little money, so I can’t achieve the state of throwing money away and doing good deeds.”

Qi Haoran thought about it, really, A Ling has done a lot of good things, but it seems that he has never lost.

A kindergarten was opened in Beidi, and the children were given good food and drink, and the husband was invited to learn craftsmanship. However, the income from renting and planting the land under the names of those children was also quite large. It is said that the value of the food collected can not only help the kindergarten The cost is offset, and a lot of money can be made.

Even if the children grow up and want to return to their own fields, because many orphans continue to join the kindergarten after the land is divided, the scale of the kindergarten has not only not decreased, but an additional one has been opened.

Because the Nursery Home has too much influence, it is still under the name of Mu Yangling. Now, except for Bo Wen, no one in the Mu family cares about the Nursery Home.

The same is true for the opening of a grain shop in Jiangnan. She took out so much grain to keep prices down, and lowered the price of corn seeds, either on credit or in debt. Outsiders saw that she was going to lose money, but they didn’t know that although she didn’t make much money, she still made a penny. No loss.

Because she got the grain directly from the land rented by the nursery school, she was paid at the wholesale price of grain in the north, and shipped it to the south of the Yangtze River, plus the transportation cost, and then earned one or two cents per catty, although a thousand catties of grain may be You can't even earn two or three taels of silver, but after all, there is no loss, right?

Qi Haoran moved, squeezed Mu Yangling's hand and said, "Then if I get confused and ask you to give money to brother Pingkulong, you will beat me up."

Mu Yangling let out a laugh and said, "My dowry does not count as the farmland under the name of the nursery school, and the village in Jiangnan and the grain shop opened are only tens of thousands of taels of silver. Is it? Zijin can earn it in a month at the restaurant in Jiangnan, but the eldest brother doesn't like this hair in my hand."

"Yes, you have too little money," Qi Haoran saw Mu Yangling's relaxed words, but he was in the mood to joke with her, and smiled at her and said, "It's all business, why is Zijin's business making thousands of dollars every day? , are you a day-to-day gold medalist?"

Mu Yangling couldn't help kicking her, "I can still make money every day, I won't lose money in doing business for you."

"That's why my father never did business. He said you were stupid and didn't admit it. We asked the shopkeeper at home to learn from Zijin's shopkeeper, and our family made a little more money."

"You want to grab business with Zijin? It's too much of a hassle. I want to go to you, so I won't go," Mu Yangling said lazily: "I'll just make a little money."

Qi Haoran said that she had no ambitions. The couple quarreled and fell asleep hugging each other. I pushed you, I pinched you, and fell asleep vaguely.

The next day, Mu Yangling went to Miao Village full of energy to find Chen Jiacai to discuss the tribute. In order not to let people know that what they gave the emperor was food, she also specially invited people to an open place to discuss. Who knows that Chen Jiacai only Hearing what she said, she refused. The reason is very simple. To offer such a cheap thing to the emperor, their Miao Village could not afford to lose this person.

Although Chen Jiacai is facing Miao Village, he still has a heart of awe for the emperor. Seeing that Mu Yangling is so casual, he can't help but get angry.

Mu Yangling immediately abandoned Chen Jiacai, who wanted to save face and suffer, and went to Chief Ji'an. At first, Chief Ji'an also twisted, and heard Mu Yangling say that he would take the opportunity to sell these "local specialties" in southern Qian to the capital, and then buy food back. Suddenly his eyes lit up.

Mu Yangling poured himself a glass of water and continued: "...The emperor advertised for us, even if these things are cheap, they can be sold, and they can be sold at a good price. The price of food in Jiangnan is cheaper than that in Qiannan. You will definitely be able to exchange a lot of food at that time.”

Jian moved, "Can these things really be sold?"
