"I'm not curious about the affairs of Shuiyun Pavilion, and I don't want to interfere, but I can't stand the practice of using people when they are needed and looking away when they are not." Jiang Chuyue bluntly expressed her dissatisfaction, and Xiao Yihao knew why Jiang Chuyue was unhappy.

But because of the affairs within Shuiyun Pavilion, he couldn't say much and had to be patient for the time being.

"Old Liu is indeed a bit strange. Although he doesn't want a woman to interfere in too many affairs of Shuiyun Pavilion, it's better to say that he is afraid of her. But I really can't figure out the reason." After learning about Liu Mo's fear, Xiao Yihao also secretly investigated in Shuiyun Pavilion.

After this investigation, it was discovered that there were women in Shuiyun Pavilion, such as Mo Jingchun, who had been highly regarded by Liu Lao and others before. However, ever since Liu Mo was hunted down by the people from Wenling Pavilion, the women in Shuiyun Pavilion were gradually separated and suppressed.

Nowadays, people like Mo Jingchun have no say in Shuiyun Pavilion. Even Mo Jingchun, who had made many contributions to Shuiyun Pavilion in the past, is now worshipped like a mascot. Although no one looks down on her, she is not allowed to interfere in anything.

"Mo Jingchun and I have thought about this matter and feel that there must be something fishy going on, but it may not be easy to find out." Xiao Yihao explained patiently, "But sooner or later, I will find out the truth and you won't have to feel so aggrieved."

Xiao Yihao has always known that Jiang Chuyue is not a woman trapped in the backyard. She has the skills and ability to create a world of her own.

Now she stays in Wanshan Village only because he is in Shuiyun Pavilion, so she chooses to stay at home to take care of the family. But even so, she has made her medicinal materials business flourish.

Without relying on anyone and relying on himself, he has made life more promising for the entire Wanshan Village, and no longer has to work as hard as before.

"No need. I wasn't interested in the affairs of Shuiyun Pavilion. I have my own things to do. Now that you are back, stabilize the affairs of Shuiyun Pavilion. If there is anything you need from me, just ask."

Jiang Chuyue also knew the dilemma Xiao Yihao was in in Shuiyun Pavilion. If he wanted to find out what happened to his grandfather in the past, he had to have power and people, otherwise everything would be in vain.

But power and people cannot be cultivated in a short time. Just like Jiang Chuyue, it is not easy for her to cultivate a group of people of her own now.

What’s more important is that Lin Wu has been in charge of the Wenling Pavilion for many years. If some things are not investigated, I’m afraid nothing will be found out.

Therefore, Xiao Yihao’s best choice at the moment is to take control of Shuiyun Pavilion so that he can compete with Lin Wu.

"You don't have to worry about things at home, I will take care of it." What Jiang Chuyue can do now is to stabilize the rear while gradually establishing a relationship with Shuiyun Pavilion so that Shuiyun Pavilion will have to face up to Jiang Chuyue's existence.

However, the matter of the grain shop has not been properly dealt with yet, and there are still many things to be done, so Jiang Chuyue did not tell Xiao Yihao about it. Some things will not be too late to speak after everything is done.

"There is one thing I really don't understand." Too many strange things happened on this trip south.

"You want to ask what's going on with the person who pretended to be Mo Jingchun in Shuiyun Pavilion?" Xiao Yihao saw through what Jiang Chuyue wanted to ask at a glance.

"I don't know much about this matter. I need to wait until I return to Shuiyun Pavilion to investigate further. I will inform you when I have news." Xiao Yihao went straight to find Jiang Chuyue as soon as he came back. He didn't have time to return to Shuiyun Pavilion yet.

Some things have not yet been investigated clearly, so there is no need to rush.

"In that case, let's wait until you find out clearly before we talk." Jiang Chuyue also knew that Xiao Yihao must have been very tired from traveling all the way, and originally planned to let him stay at home for a good rest for a night.

Unexpectedly, after the two of them explained and discussed some things that happened during this trip south, Xiao Yihao left in a hurry.

Jiang Chuyue was the only one left at home, supporting her chin with her hand, wondering what she was thinking about.

Some things just can't be figured out no matter how much you think about them over and over again. Jiang Chuyue didn't plan to make things difficult for herself and turned around to put some things out of her mind for the time being.

Since some things are out of control, Jiang Chuyue should do things that she can control.

For example, the purchase of grain shops.

*

"Have all the owners of the county's grain shops arrived?" Several owners in the town, with the support of Jiang Chuyue's large amount of silver and grain, started a price war with the county's grain shops. Jiang Chuyue did not intervene throughout the whole process.

Until the owner of the county grain store finally couldn't bear it anymore and planned to have a good discussion with the owner in the town, Jiang Chuyue got the news from Manager Zhang and came to the town.

"Everyone is here. We are waiting for you, Mr. Jiang, in the private room of Tong'an Inn." Manager Zhang and several others came to greet Jiang Chuyue in person. They used to be managers of grain shops. Although they lived a good life, they also had to depend on the faces of some people.

Especially the owners of the grain shops in the county, who had once snatched from them the grain cooperation that they had negotiated with great difficulty.

How can I not be angry?

Now they were finally able to teach them a lesson, and Manager Zhang and his companions all felt very happy.

"Boss Jiang, I sent people to investigate the reason why they gave in this time. It's because the food supply on several of their routes was cut off, and they don't have much food left. And because our price is always 10% lower than theirs, they had no choice but to invite us for a meeting. I'm afraid this trip is also to discuss the price of food." Shopkeeper Zhou at the side also said hurriedly.

Jiang Chuyue nodded, indicating that she understood, "How many shopkeepers are there from the county?"

"About five or six." Shopkeeper Zhang took over.

"What is the current price of grain?" Jiang Chuyue continued to ask.

"The price of grain in the county is forty copper coins, and ours is thirty-five now."

After hearing this, Jiang Chuyue's heart sank. This price was already reduced after the grain stores in the town and the county had engaged in a price war. One can imagine how appalling the grain price was before the price reduction.

An ordinary family only spends more than ten taels of silver a year, and a family of several people can live comfortably.

But the world is in a bad state now, and the price of grain has risen sharply, to a level that ordinary people cannot afford. It is inevitable that many people have to borrow money at usury just to buy food.

Several shopkeepers saw that Jiang Chuyue's face didn't look very good, and thought that they didn't do well enough. Several people looked at each other, and finally, Shopkeeper Zhang was bolder and spoke.

"The grain price is indeed a bit low now, but we have no choice but to do this in order to compete with the grain shops in the county."

Jiang Chuyue waved her hand and Shopkeeper Zhang stopped talking.

"Don't worry about the grain price for now. Let's go meet these shopkeepers first."
