With Jiang Chuyue's presence as a backing, several shopkeepers became bolder in the subsequent negotiations and were not afraid of the threats from the county magistrate.
"We do run a small business in the area under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, but what we do is always legitimate business and we have never done anything illegal." Shopkeeper Wu still had some reason.
Shopkeeper Wen was about to break up with him. "Mr. Magistrate, all the grain shops in the town and the county are now owned by Mr. Jiang. You must know better than us how many people buy grain every day. If the grain shops are closed by the magistrate, I wonder if the common people will be dissatisfied with him if they know about it?"
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The county magistrate understood this truth better than anyone else. He also knew that food was becoming increasingly precious due to the critical situation.
As Shopkeeper Wu said, if they don’t want to cooperate with Jiang Chuyue, there are many people who want to cooperate with Jiang Chuyue.
He was just tricked by Jiang Chuyue and failed to get any benefits from her, which made him unwilling to accept it.
The room was silent again. The magistrate said nothing, and the shopkeepers did not seem anxious. They even sipped their tea.
"One percent, then." The county magistrate, who had hesitated for who knows how long, finally gave in. It was not easy to get a 10% benefit now. Although 10% did not seem to be much, the amount of grain they wanted to buy was too large. When calculated, this 10% was already very generous.
"The magistrate is a straightforward man. Since you have already agreed, why not sign the contract first?" Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly took out the contract he had prepared long ago from his arms.
It looked as if he was afraid that the magistrate would come up with some other ideas.
"If I remember correctly, Manager Zhang seems to have a nephew who works as a bailiff in the government office?" After signing the contract, the magistrate looked at Manager Zhang and suddenly mentioned this matter.
Shopkeeper Zhang kept moving his hands, collecting the contract and handing it to Shopkeeper Wu. After confirming that there was no problem with the contract, he looked at the magistrate and said, "Your Excellency the magistrate has a good memory. I do have a nephew who used to be a runner in the government office."
"Now we are a family, and I will take good care of your nephew in the future." The magistrate got up and went out. When he passed by Shopkeeper Zhang, he patted him on the shoulder.
After hearing this, the faces of several shopkeepers in the room all looked unhappy.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Magistrate. However, my nephew is really useless and can't do his job well in the government office. I called him back home a long time ago to help with the small business at home." Shopkeeper Zhang's words blocked all the magistrate's little thoughts.
The magistrate did not expect that Manager Zhang would act so quickly. He had already transferred his people back before he could take any action.
"Nowadays, the business run by Manager Zhang can no longer be considered a small business." After leaving behind these ambiguous words, the magistrate led his men and quickly left the Tong'an Inn.
The most important thing now is to inform Liu Mo about the contract. Nothing else is as important as this.
……
"Fortunately, you were prepared and transferred your nephew back, otherwise he would have been caught by the magistrate." When Manager Wen saw the magistrate disappear from the Tong'an Inn, he was relieved.
There was also a hint of relief in his eyes when he looked at Shopkeeper Zhang. They and the other shopkeepers had been colleagues for some time, and because the boss behind them was Jiang Chuyue, they understood more clearly that they should not have too many small thoughts about each other.
Jiang Chuyue is not someone who is easily fooled, but as long as they work hard, Jiang Chuyue will see it and give them many benefits.
It is precisely because of this that several shopkeepers can work together for Jiang Chuyue. Although they have selfish motives, it will not affect the general direction of the business.
"The last time you got into trouble, I felt something was wrong. I was worried that another accident would happen, so I persuaded my nephew to come back to the shop to help." Shopkeeper Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, my previous concern for my nephew led to my not being caught by the county magistrate today.
"But our magistrate is quite thoughtful." Shopkeeper Wu said thoughtfully as he watched the magistrate's departing back.
Several shopkeepers had been arguing with the county magistrate over the issue of buying and selling grain for several days. The county magistrate finally got the upper hand because of the registration book, and the negotiations were barely over.
Several people turned around and reported back to Jiang Chuyue about the negotiation. Jiang Chuyue didn't even look at the contract. "With Manager Zhang's move, I think the other managers need to consider the situation of their families. If there are people you value or are close to, you should arrange them to help in the shop. Otherwise, if the county magistrate finds out, who knows what will happen."
Jiang Chuyue didn't have a good impression of the county magistrate. She knew clearly that he would do anything to achieve his goals. Such a person was really scary and he really needed to be dealt with more carefully.
"Don't worry, boss. We will immediately check on you when we get back. We will definitely not let anyone catch us."
Several shopkeepers are old foxes who have been doing business for many years. Following Jiang Chuyue in doing business, they can not only do it easily but also earn a lot of profits. More importantly, they know clearly that Jiang Chuyue is not someone who can be easily suppressed.
Not to mention that Jiang Chuyue had an unknown amount of food in her hands and was in control of the medicinal herb planting checkpoint. With these two points, even the county magistrate and Shuiyun Pavilion would be defeated in the end.
No matter which prince occupies this place, he will be polite to Jiang Chuyue.
It is precisely because they see it clearly that the shopkeepers know better that as long as they follow Jiang Chuyue and Jiang Chuyue protects them, their lives will not be difficult even in troubled times.
"Let's get the registration book as soon as possible. The situation at the grain store is getting more and more chaotic. We need to finalize the plan and implement it as soon as possible." Jiang Chuyue counted on her fingers unconsciously. "If that doesn't work, we can ask the county magistrate for help. After all, if the situation gets chaotic, it won't do them any good."
After hearing this, several shopkeepers briefly reported the situation of their respective grain shops, and then with Jiang Chuyue's tacit consent, they left Tong'an Inn and returned to their grain shops to deal with various matters of the grain shops.
Jiang Chuyue was left alone in Tongan Inn. The time waiting for Xiao Yihao was too long, so Jiang Chuyue simply walked around Tongan Inn.
Although Tong'an Inn is only located in a small town, there is a small area in the backyard for growing flowers. Jiang Chuyue looked at the chrysanthemum buds that were about to bloom and poked them with her hand.
Suddenly I remembered that when she came into this world, it seemed like the chrysanthemums were about to bloom.
