Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

In Dai Viet, there is one tael of gold and ten taels of silver. Visual inspection shows that the two boxes are almost a hundred taels of gold, which is equivalent to a thousand taels of silver. Song Hui is also a ruthless person!

But if there is a quarrel, according to Xia Chuntao, it is over, it won't be a big deal! She knew in her heart that the money was not because of her, but because of the tiger behind her.

Are you afraid that the crown prince will give them little shoes secretly? Pooh! Is the Crown Prince that kind of person? Is the prince's character worth just a thousand taels?

Who are you looking down on?

Xia Chuntao pushed the box over and said, "Boss Song, you don't have to be so polite. You are you and she is her. How can a sister do something wrong and ask her brother to come out and apologize? Besides, I also said yesterday that in the future, we will not violate the rules of the river." , everyone is well."

"I know Mrs. Xia is not a carefree person, but if you don't accept it, I always feel guilty in my heart."

Xia Chuntao looked embarrassed, "This...if I accept it, how can I explain it to the prince?"

When Song Hui heard this, he seemed to understand something and asked his servants to bring in several more boxes. "It was my negligence. How could I put Lady Xia in trouble?"

After he finished speaking, he patted the box a few times and said, "Please Madam Xia, please say a few kind words in front of the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince is relieved, we will also feel relieved!"

Xia Chuntao casually glanced at the golden box and said "hmm" reservedly, "For the sake of Boss Song being so sincere, I will reluctantly go through the trouble and make peace with my deceased son!"

"Then please leave it to Madam Xia, you are in trouble." Song Hui responded repeatedly.

After Song Hui left, Xia Chuntao opened all the boxes and, like a miser, lay on the table and counted the gold meticulously: one, two, three...

After conversion, it’s almost three thousand taels of silver, so you’re rich!

No wonder everyone wants to be an official.

A county magistrate has such a rich family background, let alone a prefect! Think about Zeng Rui, the prefect of Rongcheng. He could easily build a harem, and his financial resources can be imagined.

However, the money was given to Prince Ling, so Xia Chuntao just passed it once, then honestly took a few boxes to the Ling Mansion and explained the matter to Ling Qingxuan.

Ling Qingxuan looked at Xia Chuntao's beaming face and sneered: "So, you mean, I am only worth these three thousand taels?"

Huh? The Crown Prince’s perspective on the problem is really different!

"No! I think if he doesn't give this money away, he will definitely not feel at ease, so why not let him feel at ease!"

Xia Chuntao spread her hands, "Besides, we are gentlemen, and gentlemen love money in a proper way. You are now trying to eliminate the evil they have done. What you are doing is a moral thing! Besides, you have money." What's black and white? It's just a little baby who doesn't know the world. The key depends on how you use it, right?"

Ling Qingxuan was amused by Xia Chuntao's absurd reasoning, "Okay, look at your money trap! Use the money to eliminate disasters!"

Xia Chuntao opened her eyes wide, "Huh? Give me so much money?"

"Ah."

"This...why is this so embarrassing? Please keep some of it!"

Ling Qingxuan flicked Xia Chuntao's forehead, "Okay, don't be pretentious, get out of here with your ignorant little baby!"

"The prince is a cheerful person, so I won't be polite. This money can be used to build a school. I would like to thank the prince on behalf of the children!"

Ling Qingxuan felt a little better for no reason as he watched Xia Chuntao leave happily.

He liked her sunny smile.

I wonder why she is always happy? Contentment and happiness? Or, being as open-minded as possible?

I hope she can be this happy throughout her life.

……

On April 20th, the construction of the school officially started. Xia Chuntao held a small groundbreaking ceremony. The village chiefs and squires from several nearby villages were invited to participate.

The onlookers were from three levels outside, and some were idlers from other villages, all coming to watch the fun. Daxi Village was buzzing with people and bustling with people.

Zhang Lichang was the most central figure besides Xia Chuntao, and his beaming expression made the other Lichang directors extremely envious.

Zhao Lichang from Xiaoxi Village got in front of Xia Chuntao.

"Ms. Xia, when are you free, will you give us some advice in Xiaoxi Village? Although our village is smaller, it has good terrain and plenty of fertile fields. But I don't know what better way to make a living?"

The head of another village came over and said, "Ms. Xia, please come and visit our village when you have time. We don't have many requirements, as long as we can feed the villagers!"

"Ms. Xia, and our village..."

Zhang Lichang saw this posture and hurried over to protect Xia Chuntao behind him, "I said, you guys are here to poach me, right?"

Several village chiefs laughed, "We just want Madam Xia to give us some advice. We can't just be rich in Daxi Village. We are all just like beggars, right?"

Xia Chuntao was also happy, "Uncles, what you said makes sense. Our villages are all neighbors and brothers. We can't let the elder brother eat meat, and the younger brothers can't even drink soup."

Several village chiefs nodded one after another, that's the truth!

"Uncles, don't be anxious. I will take the time to visit your village to see if there is any good business. I will not hide it. If you have money, we can make it together."

The several village chiefs all beamed with joy. Madam Xia is such an open-minded person, so good!

Only Zhang Lichang looked as if someone else had robbed him of his treasure, and he was extremely aggrieved.

Xia Chuntao took advantage of the few people and secretly did some ideological work for Zhang Lichang: "Uncle, don't worry, we must be the eldest brother in Daxi Village. They are all your younger brothers. You will have to take the lead in many things when the time comes! How many do you have? Aren't you happy to have a younger brother here?"

Zhang Lichang makes sense when he thinks about it, then wouldn't his reputation be even higher? Not bad!

After the groundbreaking ceremony, the construction project of the school officially began.

Xia Chuntao also became busy like a little bee.

She is responsible for all materials and labor expenses in the school. A lot of money was spent every day, and Xia Chuntao asked the person in charge to sign every payment. She had made a budget before. If it exceeded the budget by too much, she would definitely find the reason through the person in charge.

Just kidding, no one’s money comes from the strong wind!

The purpose of Xia Chuntao is: never waste what comes from the province, and never be stingy about what should be spent.

Every now and then, Xia Chuntao has to visit "Juhaowu" and "Jinshiju". How can you leave your own store to others? It's not that far away.

In addition, she also provides teaching materials for the Department of Finance.

She discovered that Dai Viet still uses single-sided accounting, which is what we call "single-entry accounting" in modern times. This method of accounting is very incomplete. For example, if you buy a batch of materials now, the accounting will only record how much money was spent, not how much materials came in. So in the long run, how much materials are used, is there any waste, and is there any waste? It is difficult to detect someone stealing it.
