Chapter 116: The Puzzle
Lin Haoran threw the paper in the waste paper basket next to him and told the truth of the matter: "If the emperor or the chief examiner asks what method to use to help the country make money, if I suggest reopening the market, I am afraid that I will offend many big people who make money by taking advantage of the sea ban." But I don't recommend reopening the market, and there is no good way to impress the emperor, and then your brother is afraid that it will be difficult to enter the army! ”
"Why did you suggest a sea ban, which would offend those big people?" The tiger girl blinked, then looked up in confusion and asked.
Lin Haoran brought the teapot and sighed helplessly: "Songjiang's cotton, Suzhou-Hangzhou silk, Jiangxi's ceramics and Fujian's tea are all very profitable commodities, and those big people are now secretly selling to overseas merchants. If I suggest that the imperial court reopen the market, many of our businessmen in the Ming Dynasty can do these businesses, and they also have to collect taxes from big people, you can't offend people? ”
"Uh, that's it!" Hu Niu nodded seriously, and then said with an idea: "Then let's not steal business with them, those cotton cloths, ceramics and tea are not sold!" ”
"Then what else do we have to sell?" Lin Haoran was pouring tea, listening to this childish answer and laughing helplessly.
Hu Niu thought very seriously, pointed to all parts of the house and said, "There are a lot of things that can be sold." Like oil lamps, mirror stands, kitchen pots and pans, firewood, rice, oil and salt, and our soap. ”
"People don't have to do these things! And you're all open to business, people naturally want your best! Lin Haoran didn't expect this girl to have such a powerful divergent thinking, but it was a blow.
"We said no! There are a lot of things in Dianbaigang, aren't those feudal people here to buy things? The tiger girl replied crisply, and then gave another example.
"Reopen the City Ship Division in Dianbaigang?" Lin Haoran's heart moved slightly, this was the location of the former Guangdong City Bosi, but he immediately shook his head and said: "You have also been to Dianbai City, it is just some small transactions." If there is no large-scale transaction, the city will not be able to collect taxes at all, and it will be useless to help the emperor make money. ”
"That's it! So what to do? The tiger girl held her face and looked worried.
"Okay, think about this later, go to bed, I'll tell you about One Piece today." Lin Haoran looked at this girl's distressed appearance, smiled slightly, and urged her to get into bed.
"Okay!" Tiger Girl's mood also went quickly, and she immediately helped clean up the things on the table.
She loves to listen to her brother's stories, which are many times better than those outside of her, and when she doesn't understand something, he will patiently explain it to her until she understands.
Sometimes, she really thinks that her brother is very powerful, even more powerful than the legendary Zhuge Liang, and he is not pedantic at all. Like last time, it was time to knock Jiang Yuebai's head, and he didn't hesitate at all.
Call!
Lin Haoran blew out the oil lamp, then went to bed in the dark, and a warm little body wrapped around him, and told a story about dreams.
The tiger girl had a long dream, she became the captain of the ship, and with a large group of companions, as well as the little red horse and the little golden monkey, sailed together on the sea, and sailed on the blue sea.
In fact, Tiger Girl is now following the captain without a doubt, and at every turn she takes her little brothers to drive a carriage to Aoba Town.
Aoba Town, a town full of ancient charm.
I don't know if it became a town with an inspection department, or if it was established after a town. Due to the existence of the inspection department, the security in the town is not bad, and the town is becoming more and more prosperous.
Since today is not the market season, the only straight brick street in the town looks a little deserted, some shops on both sides of the street are closed, and even the gates of the inspection department are closed.
A tall carriage came from the west and slowly stopped at the entrance of a two-story restaurant, which was a good place to park its carriage because there was an open space in this doorway.
The restaurant is named after Aoba and is the only restaurant in town. In such a small town, it is surprising to have such a two-story restaurant, but it exists like this.
Tiger Niu parked the carriage at the door, and a group of children jumped out of the carriage and ran to the stall set up by the old man opposite the restaurant, chattering and asking for candy figures of various shapes.
The old man seemed to be familiar with these children, and proudly showed off his handiwork, and soon blew out candy figures of various shapes out of syrup made of honey and rice flour, all of which were lifelike.
Hu Niu was about to bolt the carriage to the tree next to the restaurant, but the shopkeeper of the restaurant came out of it and accused with a black face: "Why are you this girl again, driving your carriage away!" ”
"I'll just stop for a moment and leave right away!" The tiger girl frowned slightly, looked up at him with a big pie face and explained.
"It won't work for a while, it will affect my business!" The shopkeeper waved his hand vigorously like a fly.
"Why not, you don't have any guests coming over now!" Tiger Niu pointed to the empty street and argued earnestly.
"It's not okay if no one comes, you go away quickly, don't think it's great to have a carriage!" The shopkeeper didn't mean to be tolerant, and glared at her wickedly.
But at this moment, a little old man walked out of the restaurant with a smile, as if to persuade something, but was interrupted by the shopkeeper mercilessly, and said viciously: "Don't you want to work here with me?" ”
Hearing this, the little old man sighed secretly and looked at the tiger girl in embarrassment.
"Uncle Ram, you don't have to beg him!" The tiger girl looked at the little old man, and then said sarcastically: "I haven't said you yet!" Isn't it great if you have a restaurant? Believe it or not, I bought your restaurant! ”
"Huh...... Okay! The price of my restaurant is not high, one hundred taels! If you can get it, I'll sell it to you today!" The shopkeeper laughed angrily, pointed at the tiger girl and sneered.
"A hundred taels? Is this restaurant worth a hundred taels? Tiger Niu glanced at the restaurant, and then looked at Uncle Goat, who believed in her people.
Uncle Goat understood what she meant, and nodded with a wry smile, the price of the restaurant is indeed very kind.
"This restaurant is a little smaller, but there is a piece of land and a few houses behind it, do you think it's worth it?" As if he had been insulted, the shopkeeper immediately pointed behind him and said sharply.
"That's what you said!" The tiger girl is also impulsive, and at this time there was a bit of anger, pointing at him and saying.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Brothers and sisters who have passed by, everyone came to take a look, and it is also a witness! As if soliciting business, the shopkeeper shouted at the few people on the street: "This girl said that she wanted to buy my Qingye Restaurant, and I bid a hundred taels, if she can get this silver, I will sell the restaurant to her today." ”
