However, at this time, Huang Yasheng had an extra wallet in his hand, and it was very important.

Huang Yasheng whispered to Zhang Jiuyan and told the number, and then Zhang Jiuyan gave the wallet to Zhao Xiangen.

Zhang Jiuyan said, "Master Zhao, thanks to your help several times, I am grateful. I am just a little bit of love, only fifty taels. I will come to my door to thank you when I have the chance."

Fifty taels of silver, this amount is definitely a big deal. You should know that Zhang Jiuyan’s bounty is only one hundred taels.

And if Zhao Xiangen really caught Zhang Jiuyan and detained the bounty layer by layer, he might not have been able to get fifty taels.

Zhao Xiangen was overjoyed, his eyes narrowed into a slit with joy, "This, this,,, how can you be so embarrassed?"

He said sorry, but his hands were not vague and he directly took the money into his pocket.

Not to mention, this is the first time Zhao Xiangen has taken Zhang Jiuyan’s money. When Zhang Jiuyan was driving a rickshaw, Zhao Xiangen arrested Zhang Jiuyan for the sake of Zhang Tianshou’s murder.

At that time, Zhang Jiuyan said that he was talking about the sky and the clouds were foggy.

Zhang Jiuyan also promised to give him a sky-high price of filial piety to him for a year. Zhao Xiangen was stunned by Zhang Jiuyan's words and believed it.

Of course, in the end, he did not get any substantial benefits from Zhang Jiuyan. This made him want to throw a few mouths whenever he thought of him, and blamed himself for believing Zhang Jiuyan for not knowing why.

After many twists and turns, I finally got the money from Zhang Jiuyan, but it was still fifty taels. This made Zhao Xiangen feel particularly relieved and happy.

More than ten times happier than the one hundred taels promised by Zhang Jiuyan.

Youdao is that people are short-handed and soft-hearted. Zhao Xiangen has the benefits of Zhang Jiuyan, but he does not dare to attack Zhang Jiuyan. Naturally, he also has to give Zhang Jiuyan the necessary convenience.

Zhao Xiangen said: "Jiu Ye, the county master stays in the county government all day long and doesn't know the situation outside. If you want to stay in the county town, it's okay, but it's not too arrogant, and the county government won't cause trouble for you."

This is a typical example of deceiving superiors and hiding subordinates.

Yan Zibin, a county master, was born as a scholar and lacked the ability to manage the local area, so there was no way to rely on others for everything.

Zhao Xiangen said that Zhang Jiuyan ran away and left the county town. Zhang Jiuyan left the county town. Zhao Xiangen said that there was no, that was no,

Seeing that the money was not spent in vain, Zhang Jiuyan was also happy and clasped his fists to Zhao Xiangen to thank him. The two of them had another hot chat. Finally, Zhao Xiangen left the Huang Mansion happily;

After Zhao Xiangen left, Huang Yasheng said to Zhang Jiuyan: "Brother Yan, I don't know what you have now. Although Zhao Xiangen will not make things difficult for the time being, this person is also a villain who forgets his righteousness when he sees profit. You should not trust him too much."

Zhang Jiuyan smiled slightly and said, "That's natural. Any relationship that is made and maintained with money cannot last for a long time.

Zhao Xiangen, I killed several of his subordinates, but he never mentioned this, which shows his character. How could I really trust such a person?"

Seeing that Zhang Jiuyan knew it, Huang Yasheng naturally stopped talking.

Then Zhang Jiuyan said to Huang Yasheng a little embarrassedly: "Young Master, my main purpose of going down the mountain this time is that the copycat is about to lose food, but at hand,"

When Huang Yasheng saw Zhang Jiuyan like this, he could not understand what Zhang Jiuyan was going to say. Without any hesitation, Huang Yasheng went to the accounting room again and paid 200 taels of silver to Zhang Jiuyan.

Zhang Jiuyan thanked him repeatedly, but Huang Yasheng naturally refused.

I have to say that true feelings are revealed in times of adversity. After Huang Yasheng's kidnapping, the relationship between Zhang Jiuyan and Huang Yasheng was as strong as iron.

It can be said that as long as Zhang Jiuyan wants it, he Huang Yasheng has it, and then Zhang Jiuyan wants it and gives it whatever he wants.

Two hundred taels of silver are not a small amount, a big bag, more than ten kilograms, heavy.

However, Zhang Jiuyan was not heavy at all when he was carried on his back. On the contrary, Zhang Jiuyan felt that it would be fine if he had another seven or eight hundred taels. He didn't know whether this was the power of money or the power of Zhang Jiuyan's body.

With the silver on his back, Zhang Jiuyan left the Huang Mansion and went to buy food.

Nowadays, the severe drought in Shaanxi has been going on for several years. People suffer day by day, and food is even more of the foundation for saving lives and everyone regards it as life.

But the old saying goes, if you want anything, then there is nothing to do.

If the people lack food, there is no need to say much, otherwise so many people would not take risks.

But this sentence is also wrong, because it is only for the people, but for the merchants, it should be changed to "Whatever you want, then what you have."

At this time, the food is expensive, so the merchants naturally want to have more food, so the food they have in their hands is quite good, and there is really a lot of it.

Sure enough, Zhang Jiuyan came to Sikou Lane and a shop called "Fengshun Grain Store".

I saw bags of food here, neatly placed in conspicuous places. I could tell at a glance that it had sufficient food. Those who didn’t know thought it was now a peaceful year.

The grain shops in ancient times were fundamentally different from the grain and rice shops in later generations.

In later generations, grain rice shops were just a small distribution point. In a city, there were countless grain rice shops like this, all of which were doing business with neighbors.

But in ancient times, a grain store often meant that there was a big business and a big family behind it.

Their grain shops directly purchase grain from farmers, then store and transport it, and finally set up shops in various places to sell grain, which can be said to have grasped the entire grain supply and marketing chain from top to the next.

In some big grain stores, they plant tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and grow their own grain, and they don’t even need to buy it.

Moreover, they do their best to plunder and exploit in every link, especially in the acquisition process.

When farmers harvest grain, they need to sell the grain in exchange for silver to pay taxes, so farmers need to sell the grain to the grain store.

At this time, the grain bank seized the weakness of farmers' needing to pay taxes and had to sell them, and tried hard to lower the price.

On weekdays, one stone of grain can be sold for more than one tael. At this time, the grain store will pay at most three cents of silver to purchase, and four cents of silver will be sold at most, which is less than half of the price.

But when the people were in trouble and needed to buy food, they seized the weakness that the people had to buy, and sold at least one tael of silver for a stone of grain, or even more.

Just one in and out, the profits are more than doubled.

Some people don’t understand that since the people who farm will buy food sooner or later, why did they need to sell the food so cheaply and be exploited by the grain store?
