Chapter 52 Little Lucky Star is protected by me
Guo Minmin is a generous person. Since she decided to open a store, she felt that she could not treat Pei Fanxian badly.
"How much does Wei Ling and you have paid?"
Pei Fanxian didn't hear her intention and said casually: "Two hundred words."
"It's just paid so much money." Minmin was angry and very dissatisfied.
This traitor is too stingy!
It's really a little less, Pei Fanxian also thinks so.
When he saw Guo Minmin wearing luxurious clothes, he immediately felt inspiration.
"Otherwise, Madam Minmin, you pay some money too."
"If you open a store together, whoever pays more money will get the most money. You see, Wei Ling is a rare old man who only pays 200 yuan, and he thinks he has taken advantage of it."
"In fact, it's not the case. When the money is distributed, the people who pay less will get less money, right?" Fan Xian spread his hands and analyzed the powerful relationship in doing business.
After listening to it, Minmin was really inspired.
He nodded sharply: "You are right!"
The Changan female hero thought of doing it, Minmin stood up, and Pei Fanxian felt that her expression seemed to be about to eat people.
Minmin looked at him with a smirk: "Of course I have to pay, I have to pay more!"
"Miss Minmin is so bold!" someone praised immediately.
"But I can't pay the money. I'll go find Wei Ling and ask him to pay it. I'm counting it on me!" Guo Minmin's eyes were bright and staring at some point, confident in her heart.
Pei Fanxian's heart and heart are trembling, the most poisonous thing is that the woman in the Wu family is really powerful!
Guo Minmin gritted her silver teeth, and the Tang sword in her hand was eager to try. Thinking of Wei Ling’s next encounter, Pei Fan finally understood the profound meaning of the famous saying.
After Guo Minmin left, Pei Fan first returned to his yard and felt refreshed. He laughed to the sky: "The evil ones will eventually be beaten by the evil ones!"
"Old Wei is dead this time!"
…………
Imperial City, Daming Palace.
Pei Yan is not very popular and has some methods of doing things. Under his advocacy, the composting work was successfully promoted.
Li Hong was kind-hearted and thought that there were so many villagers in Chang'an City who couldn't eat enough, his heart was as if he was heartbroken.
The Ministry of Revenue approved the payment of money, and finally, Li Hong made a decision to each company, according to the weight of the compost, each bullion of eight cents.
The price is equivalent to half a dou of millet.
Each household piles up the dried manure at home. The people from the government have already weighed it and store it by themselves and use it when the planting is released next year.
The whole process will be supervised by the court, and they will not be lazy after collecting money.
Originally, Pei Fanxian’s plan was to recycle all the manures by the government, and when they needed to be used, the government would distribute them to the villagers.
This ensures that all manure is used in practice.
However, in the actual operation, many unexpected problems arise. It is actually not easy to find a place where many manures can be stored at one time.
The manure that has been dried and air-dried no longer smells bad, but it is still a dirty thing after all, and no matter which department it is, it is unwilling to accept it.
The enthusiasm of the villagers also surprised officials at all levels.
In the past, it was always difficult to promote a new policy. No matter how beautiful the imperial court's initial idea was, it was usually unwilling to cooperate.
The villagers have thousands of reasons, and the government can only give in. Some have given up their good plans halfway, while others cannot implement them.
This time, the 8 cents per household made the compost business in full swing, and the enthusiasm of the villagers was beyond the past.
No one is a fool. People in Chang'an City always have a few chickens and a cow at home.
I heard that they can exchange money with their feces (even their own) and no matter how much they can get, they will take action immediately.
Once the order was issued, many villagers carried bamboo baskets and pulled carts to the door of the two county government offices, and wanted to weigh them on the spot.
For a moment, the gates of all the officials in Chang'an City were all stinking, covering the sky and the sun. The officials who walked out of the gate covered their noses and frowned.
The miserable minor official was blamed by his boss and had to come out to enlighten the villagers with the stinky smell. There is no need to worry, everyone has a share.
The extreme enthusiasm of the villagers also gave rise to another problem.
The money for buying compost is not sufficiently prepared.
According to rough calculations, at least about three white coins are required to collect manure this time, which is not a small amount.
From the Ministry of Revenue and the doctors from the Ministry of Revenue were all quarreling, and no one was willing to pay so much money.
In fact, is the court rich?
There is still money. Just a few months ago, Liang Jinzhu, a famous wealthy businessman in Yongzhou, paid 3,000 guan to provide relief to the victims.
Although Liang Jinzhu is rich, his family's money is a drop in the bucket compared to the imperial court.
If a wealthy businessman can do this, why is the court unwilling to pay?
The fundamental reason is that most officials at all levels in the court believe that spending money to buy manure is too unprofitable.
Since it is not cost-effective, it feels uncomfortable to pay for the usual money.
In the end, the smart Pei Yan solved this problem.
Pei Yan came forward and presented facts and reasoned with a perfect tongue, while appeased the people and negotiated with the court.
Finally, the acquisition price was set at 5 cents per dou.
The court saved a lot of money, and for the people, this price would not hurt their enthusiasm.
Pei Yan was so popular that he was enthusiastically praised by Li Zhi for his powerful promotion.
When Prince Li Hong heard about this, he felt very angry.
The idea was obviously my little lucky star Pei Fan first, so how could he be taken away by the old thief Pei? Just after the morning court, he came to Zichen Hall and reported the situation to the emperor and the empress.
Wu Meiniang stroked the back of her tender hands, raised her eyes and said, "So, this is the trick of Pei Fan first."
"Hong'er, are you lying to us?"
Wu Meiniang was suspicious by nature, and no one believed it except herself. The cruel officials she valued in the future, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen and others, were also very good when they used you. When they didn't need you, they kicked away.
"Mei Niang, this is your fault. I think this young man is rare!"
Li Hongxi couldn't help but expect that the saint would stand on his side. Li Zhi looked at him with encouragement, which doubled his confidence.
Wu Meiniang had a stern face, obviously disagreed with the father and son's opinions.
Li Zhi took her hand and said with a smile: "Mei Niang, think about it, Pei Fanxian is a young man, and the medicine he made is equivalent to saving our family of three. Isn't such a contribution great?"
"If it weren't for Fan Xian, your face wouldn't have recovered so quickly. Honger and I might still be troubled by illness."
Nitroglycerin is indeed a life-saving medicine for Li Hong. The last time he was able to resurrect from severe heartache was thanks to the nitroglycerin sent by Pei Fanxian.
The same nitroglycerin has much less effect for Li Zhi. In addition to angina pectoris, he also has ancestral hypertension.
The condition is already quite serious. If you control hypertension, you must use synthetic Western medicine.
Li Zhi boasted like this just because he is in good condition now.
"I think so too!"
Seeing Wu Meiniang's face relaxed, Li Hong immediately stepped forward and said, "The Empress has been radiant these days, as if she was back to Erchen's childhood."
"After taking Fan Xian's medicine, Erchen's illness has also been relieved a lot. Erchen has made an appointment with Ming Yun (Li Xian) to play polo together these days."
Wu Meiniang was so happy that she was told that. Who did this child learn from? Her mouth became sweeter and sweeter, as if she had applied honey.
Both father and son looked at her with expectations.
Wu Meiniang looked around and finally said, "Okay!"
"Since Honger, you value Pei Fanxian so much, then I'll reward him with something."
