Wei Canyu sent back his first letter after leaving Taozhou.

Shi Mi felt like he had found a treasure. When he hurriedly opened it with Shen Xincheng, he saw a small note that was only two fingers wide, with two words flying in the top: "Peace."

"Of course you are safe! Otherwise, Longyou can live so peacefully!? I have to know what to do next! How to spend so much money!" Chen Xincheng had been in the northwest for a long time, and was sleeping in the mining farm every day, eating and living with the miners. He had long learned the rough words of Northwest and was no longer the honest scholar of the past.

The weather is getting colder and the temperature underwater is already extremely cold. After Chen Xincheng stepped on it and made a chill, he immediately announced that the mining ends this winter.

This trip back to Taozhou was not only Chen Xincheng himself, but also Lintao County Magistrate Yi Sui and the two major carts of Tao inkstone stone billets mined in the past few months. Originally, the carving of Tao inkstone should have been completed in Lintao, but County Magistrate Yi felt that it was not safe:

"Since it is to be recharged by military pay, we should ask the envoy to allocate it. Carving and selling is also a convenient carriage and horse, and traveling to and from prosperous places. Lintao is still a little worse. Now it is time to ask for money, so don't worry about the place. Please work harder for those who are capable of urging the official position. At that time, the account book will be matched."

I originally planned to carve it and sell it before I sold it, but I didn't expect that there were too many businessmen in the world. Those who came here, those who asked someone to bring the letter, even went around seventeen or eighteen times. After all, I persuaded Chen Xincheng to show mercy and just betray the inkstone blanks, more people than those who wanted to buy the finished product.

At this moment, Chen Xincheng's nature of a profiteer is fully displayed, and no matter who it is, he will all say: "This is not possible. First, I cannot support them in vain with so many inkstone carving masters I have invited; second, I will have to collect one more yuan in more carvings - this money is what Your Majesty wants to do in person. If I favor myself, it would be a violation of Your Majesty's national law. If this is a loss of money, I will not do it!"

Someone wanted to stuff him money, but he drove him out directly. The rest came to understand and someone immediately asked: "I only want the inkstone blank, but I have given you two pieces of money to carve for you. But you can't care about how to carve it."

Chen Xincheng pretended to be hesitant again: "The owner of the mine in front has been confiscated, and there are not many Tao inkstones outside. If you want to carve yourself, then be careful. If you make a taboo, I will not be able to take it."

The man's chest was slammed: "Even if I sell it in the future, I will definitely record the buyer clearly. In short, if you catch it, you will definitely not be blamed."

Chen Xincheng "hesitated" for three days, forcing all the merchants to jump up and promise. He took out a booklet, not only recorded the weight, patterns, shapes and other detailed records of all the inkstone blanks, but also found a master painter to draw it. He asked all the merchants who bought inkstone to write down all the eighth generation of their ancestors, and then he put away the booklet with satisfaction.

The inkstone blank was also sold at a price of 4,000 to 4,500 guan per square. The monthly salary of the carving masters who were raised in the mine was deducted from the monthly salary of the carving masters who were raised in the past two months alone, the net income of the Lintao treasury was 300,000 guan - Chen Xincheng had deducted half of the inkstone blank early and was not sold.

Shi Mi wondered: "In fact, the military salary of 300,000 yuan is not too much. Why are those inkstones not sold all?"

Chen Xincheng glanced at the county magistrate Yi sitting aside, coughed, and asked, "Is the envoy only fighting this battle in Taozhou? Will you leave after the battle? Didn't you agree to guard Taozhou for ten years?"

ten years!?

Wouldn't that make you barely survive until you resign from your post?!

County Magistrate Yi nodded happily and said: "Empress, after this battle, people's livelihood will definitely be declining, and money will be used everywhere. By that time, the battle has been completed. Will the capital continue to allocate funds to us? At that time, the local government will extend their hands with you. What should you do?

"Although the officials don't know much about doing business, they know that the things on the market are all expensive. This time, the inkstone has been released for seventy or eighty yuan, which is OK. If there are more, the price will drop.

"When the war is over, the carved inkstones will all be taken quietly. At that time, we will open a few carved inkstones to sell them, and make a lot of publicity about the benefits. Playing the tragic card, I believe that the price will increase a little more..."

Chen Xincheng laughed loudly and reached out to pat the shoulder of County Magistrate Yi: "How come Yi Mingfu doesn't know how to do business? Your little abacus is clattering, and it's obvious that he is more skillful than me!"

Shi Mi was very happy and smiled and said, "This is the best! I will rely more on the Ming Mansion in the future!"

County Magistrate Yi was satisfied and rushed back to Lintao overnight - he had half of the inkstone blank in Curry, so he had to go and watch it.

However, next, Shi Mi and Shen Xincheng felt worried when they saw the 300,000 guan.

When I have no money, I look forward to money, but when I have money, I don’t know how to spend it.

Especially, Wei Canyu was not there, Chen Zhuo was not there either.

Therefore, Chen Zhuo received Wei Canyu's letter and Shen Xincheng's letter in Qinzhou, only half a day was left.

"Mr. Wei has contacted everyone he should contact. Uncle Gongye's transfer of food and grass will definitely be easier. Especially, Taozhou has already sent a gift of 300,000 yuan. I think you should feel a little more comfortable, right?"

Chen Zhuo turned the sandalwood in his hand and joked with Gong Yeshi.

Gong Ye Shi stared at Chen Xincheng's letter for a long time before he took a long breath: "How did they do it?! Three hundred thousand coins! Only more than two months!"

"Don't sigh. Uncle Gongye should do the serious business. Oh, by the way, the money from Hezhou is not given a penny. Yun Sheng's case is so trialed. Is Lin Jun fooling the big fool? The matter of Tian Chengjun's empty salary, have you not reported that you want to cut off a few heads? Let's talk about it after the chopping."

After Chen Zhuo finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave. Chen Xinzhao asked her to go home for lunch today, saying that Chen Dian and the others were all back together, and she could not be late.

"Jingzhi, what are you waiting for?" Gong Yeshi felt that Chen Zhuo was not waiting for the conclusion of the two cases, but seemed to be preparing to do something else.

Chen Zhuo smiled and said, "Didn't you quietly inform my cousin Zhu Lin in Lanzhou to be careful? I'm just like you. I'm waiting for whatever you are waiting for."

Gong Yeshi, who had a wide robe and big sleeves and a tall and squinted head, stared at Chen Zhuo for a while, and sighed softly: "Jingzhi, you are exactly the same as your father."

Chen Zhuo laughed loudly, raised his hand and said goodbye, turned around and walked away quickly.

"There is news from the envoy, Hezhou, Ganzhou and Liangzhou."

Gong Yeshi withdrew his gaze to Chen Zhuo's back, nodded, and reached out to take the news from Hezhou first.

Although Qin Wei was in Ganzhou, he was not worried about Ganzhou.

He is worried about Hezhou.

His attitude is waiting for Hezhou: is it convinced or betrayal? The book you want to read cannot find the latest chapter? Cough cough, this is not a problem. I recommend a public account. Here is a young lady who helps you find the latest chapters and chats with you!
