Parents are busy farming

"If you have any other questions, you can talk about it now." Pang Chao continued.

"It doesn't matter if we take money to join the chamber of commerce. What I want to ask is whether we should enter in the name of a store or in the name of an individual." A businessman raised his doubts.

Ye Zifen said in time: "I think it's better to use the name of the store. As I said just now, different industries have different rules."

The shopkeeper of Fushoulou suddenly looked at Ye Zifen and asked: "Then if the shops opened by one person all belong to the same industry, can they pay a share of the money?"

Zi Zifen did not expect that the shopkeeper of Fushou Tower would be a man who was determined to retaliate.

Fortunately, Ye Zifen had already thought about how much money he would spend and didn't care about his words.

"There are many families here who are in this situation. You can discuss it with each other. I will follow you."

Instead of picking up the hot potato, she kicked the ball out again.

The shopkeeper of Fushoulou had no intention of letting Ye Zifen go. He asked seemingly unintentionally: "I heard that Miss Ye has a caravan called Yuanhang Escort Bureau to provide goods for you Fuke."

Ye Zifen nodded. This was something everyone in the county knew. She had nothing to hide.

"Then the recently opened Yuanhang Clothing Store is also Miss Ye's property?"

Ye Zifen smiled, it turned out that the old fox was waiting for her here!

She said modestly: "I'm not talented, I came up with a little gadget to make you laugh."

"Hey, Miss Ye is so courageous at such a young age. In our county, she not only opened a restaurant, a sheep soup restaurant, but also a clothing store, even a grocery store, and finally a caravan. The industries you are involved in are quite extensive. Joining the Chamber of Commerce today, I wonder how Miss Ye wants to pay for it?"

Ye Zifen didn't answer and asked instead: "You mean to use me as a benchmark, how much money I have to pay to join the chamber of commerce in which industry? Then I will become the target of public criticism."

"It doesn't matter. Miss Ye has a lot of property. We understand that it's really difficult for you to have such a big share. We only have more than you, not less. What do you think?"

The shopkeeper of Fushoulou thought that Ye Zifen would not spend too much money.

After all, if you take money from your own pocket and do things for the county, isn't it just like wasting the money? A businessman wouldn't do this.

If Ye Zifen had taken the money to join the Chamber of Commerce in the front, they would have just had to be a little higher than Ye Zifen. He would have dug this pit that was difficult to exploit.

A faint smile appeared on Zi Zifen's face, and then she said: "Seriously, as long as I spend the money to join the Chamber of Commerce, you will use me as a benchmark, just a little more?"

She said in an angry tone, her words full of provocation.

The shopkeeper of Fushoulou felt very happy when he saw that Ye Zifen was already angry, even angry.

"Of course it's true." The shopkeeper of Fushou Tower expressed his position first, and then looked at everyone present.

Those who were better with him saw this situation and nodded in agreement with him.

The others saw that several people had expressed their opinions, so it was natural not to lag too far behind. After all, the people from the Yamen were watching here, so they also nodded along.

After getting everyone's affirmative reply, Ye Zifen said leisurely: "Since everyone cares about my young age and gives way to me, then of course I won't let it go."

Then she pretended to be thinking and said: "Since it is to do practical things for the people in the county, I shouldn't be too stingy."

"Let's do it this way. I'll give you one thousand taels if you come. The Yuanhang Escort Agency is here to serve you. I haven't taken over the work alone, so I won't treat it as a living here. What do you think of the five hundred taels?"

When the shopkeeper of Fushoulou heard Ye Zifen say that Fuke came to pay a thousand taels, his expression immediately turned bad.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zifen said next: "As for the mutton soup restaurant, Yuanhang Clothing Store, and grocery stores, they are all small businesses. I will only pay five hundred taels for each store!"

After hearing Ye Zifen's words, everyone became uneasy and looked at the shopkeeper of Fushou Tower with dissatisfaction.

"Miss Ye, please don't do something that you will regret just for the sake of gambling!" the shopkeeper of Fushou Tower suddenly warned.

When Ye Zifen heard this, she showed an aggrieved expression.

Pang Chao couldn't see Zifen being wronged, so he thought for a long time and said: "Since we have agreed just now, we will definitely get more than Miss Ye. I still have a pawn shop, so I will give you 800 taels!"

At this time, the whole room was solemn and you could hear a needle drop.

Master Liu didn't expect Ye Zifen to be so generous and take out three thousand taels of silver at once.

Seeing the expressions of the others who were riding a tiger, he realized that this was a game that Ye Zifen and Pang Chao had made.

After Pang Chao finished speaking, the shopkeeper of Fushou Tower immediately shot an angry look at him.

If looks could kill, Pang Chao would probably be riddled with holes by now.

But that's not the most irritating thing. The most irritating thing is that Ye Zifen has already taken out the money and placed it in front of Liu Zhubo.

Only now did everyone feel what it felt like to be roasted on a fire.

Chief Liu asked Ye Zifen: "Are you sure these are the ones?"

"My father and I measured the moon's shadow this year and found that there will be a drought in the county. In order for the people not to suffer from drought, it is appropriate for me to get more money."

The news exploded among everyone like a bomb, and everyone started talking. An atmosphere of worry spread throughout the room.

At this moment, the shopkeeper of Fushou Tower has put aside his dissatisfaction with Ye Zifen.

When everyone was full of doubts, Chief Liu said: "Well, we also found some clues in the county annals. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't be in such a rush to dig canals and channels in various places."

Then he said: "Actually, the county does not agree with your chamber of commerce organization. After all, the chamber of commerce has certain rights, which is not a good thing for the court. It was Pang Chao who went to plead with the county magistrate. I reluctantly agreed. But after you establish the Chamber of Commerce, you can't start doing unscrupulous things just because of the establishment of merchants."

Everyone quickly assured: "No!"

Then Pang Chao also took out eight hundred taels and placed them in front of Master Liu.

Chief Secretary Liu said to Pang Chao: "Take two empty ledgers. How many people joined the Chamber of Commerce? How much money they took? You must remember this clearly."

Pang Chao hurriedly went out and turned right, went to the Yamen, and came back after a while holding two empty ledgers.

Then Master Liu dipped his pen in ink and recorded every sum of money on it.

Of course, the first thing I wrote about was Ye Zifen and his friends.

Then there were people who brought money with them and hurriedly came over to pay to join the association. They all had a little more money than Zifen in the industry, but not much.

Those who didn't bring any money also told the boy waiting outside the door to go back and get the money.

At this time, everyone didn't feel uncomfortable paying for it. After all, if there was a drought, their business would also be affected.

But if the people had not suffered from the drought, they would have earned back the money this year.
