This land was contracted by me [farming]

After Hong Feng acquired the craftsmanship of thousand-ply-soled cloth shoes, he immediately started to act.Before Zhao Keran waited for a few days, Hong Feng sent the promised cloth to Huimin Supermarket.Hong Feng originally wanted to give more silk brocade and satin.He thought that Zhao Keran would like these, but in the end Zhao Keran asked him to replace them with equivalent linen.There are too many Huimin supermarkets to pile up, so they can only be piled up in the county government.

Because the shoes have to be fitted, labor is time-consuming and labor-intensive.Hong Feng said he would send the shoes next month.

Zhao Keran nodded, as long as he gave it.

He is now thinking of how to make Huimin supermarkets spread all over Jingyang, so that more people can buy cheap goods.

But he can't let the clan intervene, and even if he wants the clan to come, they won't come.

Those aristocratic families had realized that Zhao Keran used the salt they gave each month and sold it cheaply.The forced companies had to lower their prices in the Jingyang Salt Store, and had to sell a large number of them to other places, so that their income could be kept at the same level as before.

The aristocratic families who originally planned to rob the people of Jingyang, were finally robbed by Zhao Keran.

These upper-class families hated Zhao Keran to the core.

However, they couldn't do anything about him.

It is already very patient not to make trouble for Zhao Keran, they cannot and will not allow themselves to fall into the same pit twice!

Just when Zhao Keran was worried about how to make Huimin Supermarket bloom everywhere, the salesmen came to buy salt.Zhao Keran's eyes lit up, and he figured it out.

If you can't open a supermarket, then open a small shop!

So the salesmen were called together.

Zhao Keran popularized to a few people what a small shop is, and the conditions for opening a small shop.

"You can buy goods in Huimin Supermarket, and Shumo will report the specific price of the goods to you." Zhao Keran said, "But if you want to open a small shop in your own village, you must have a business license from the county government. Every time you purchase, you must also have a purchase brand, and the price of the goods in the small shop cannot be more than [-]% higher than the price in Huimin Supermarket."

After several people listened, they were eager to try.Seeing that Zhao Keran had finished speaking, Shumo went forward to report the purchase price of the goods.

After hearing the price, the others all extinguished their flames.It's not that it's expensive, but that the money is not enough now, so I have to save some more.

Only one person in Fancheng has enough capital to open a small shop.Come to think of it, Fancheng gets a lot of commissions every month.Work harder than them, Fancheng deserves all of this.

After getting the opening license and the purchase brand, the salesmen congratulated Fancheng one after another, and invited them to patronize him if he wanted to open.

And they secretly vowed in their hearts that they would work harder than before.I hope that I can also open a small shop in the village earlier!

Birds fly across the sky, leaving behind crisp bird calls all the way.Fanjia Village is also bustling. Originally, the poor in the village could only work as peddlers. The Fancheng family has recently become prosperous.

Zhang Cuifen kept the house very clean, and Fancheng specially invited people from Hedong Village to build him a mud house for selling goods in order to open a small shop.

The gong clanged, and the first small shop in Jingyang was born in Fanjia Village.The villagers were attracted by the sound, and Fancheng went door-to-door to introduce the business of the small shop opened by his family.

Many people were curious and went to have a look.

The small shop has special shelves, which Zhao Keran asked Pan Dahai to build for the franchisees to open small shops.

Fifth Aunt Fan looked at the cloth on the shelf, wanted to touch it but dared not touch it, for fear that if she touched it, she would have to pay for it.

"This cloth is so good, it costs a lot of money, right?"

It was a bolt of dyed linen, the red one was very festive.Even sackcloth is a good cloth that cannot be afforded by villagers who do not know how to buy new cloth for clothing.Not to mention that it is still dyed, and the colored cloth is an incredibly good material.

Zhang Cuifen handed the cloth to Aunt Fan and said with a smile, "Aunt Fifth wants to buy cloth?"

Fifth Aunt Fan shook her head like a rattle, "That's impossible! I'm afraid only the village chief's family can afford this cloth." She handed the salt jar in her hand to Zhang Cuifen and said, "Cheng Zi said that there is also cheap salt for sale here. I’m here to buy salt, and the salt at home is about to run out.”

While loading the salt, Fifth Aunt Fan glanced at the cloth from time to time.In the end, he couldn't hold back and asked, "Cui Fen, how much do you sell this cloth for?"

After Zhang Cuifen packed the salt, she handed the jar back to Aunt Fan, glanced at the cloth and said, "It's much cheaper than what we bought in the town before. It's only two feet for a penny."

"What!" Aunt Fan was so shocked that she almost missed the salt jar, "Isn't it five cents a foot in the town? Why is it so cheap?"

"Brother Fan was getting the goods, the person in charge said, this is the kindness of our county magistrate and the master of the Hongjia cloth shop. Every month, Hongjia cloth shop will sell a batch of cheap cloth in Huimin Supermarket. Your Excellency said that every month you open a small shop, you can get some cheap cloth to sell in your own shop. Once sold out, there will be no more. If you want to buy again, you will have to wait for a month." Zhang Cuifen asked Fan Wu again Aunt, "Fifth Aunt, do you want to buy some and make a new dress for the little one at home?"

Fifth Aunt Fan held the salt jar and thought for a long time, finally stamped her feet, nodded and said, "Give me two pennies, the big girl is going to get married in a few days, make her a new dress!"

Zhang Cuifen responded and cut the cloth for Fifth Aunt Fan.She cut some more, folded them and stuffed them to Aunt Fan, "If there are too many, I will make another headscarf for the big girl. The red one looks good on it."

Fancheng's small shop is booming, and people from neighboring villages will come to buy it.Some will pull two feet of cloth to make new clothes for the baby at home, and some will buy some soy products and go back to improve the food.Although I can't afford to eat it every day, but I buy it once in a while, and the whole family enjoys it.

It was a hot day, so the bean products in Fancheng were all stored in the "refrigerator", which was specially given to him by the county magistrate.There is ice in it, and the soy products will not spoil if placed on the ice.

But just in case, he doesn't buy too much every time, and only goes in when they are sold out.That's two extra trips.

During this period, another peddler saved enough capital to open a small shop in a village a little farther away.Seeing that the village was far away, Zhao Keran asked Shumo to take less of the principal.After the salesman found out, he howled that the county magistrate was an immortal Bodhisattva.

Shumo comforted him for a long time before the big man stopped.Wiping his face, he promised that he would definitely open a small shop well and live up to the county magistrate's expectations of him.

The small shop plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.

At the same time, the teahouses jointly opened by the Hong family and some small aristocratic families also caused a great commotion in Jingyang.The teahouse implements a ticketing system, and tickets for the next day are sold one day in advance, and the number of seats is different.Pricing is based on the length of time, and there is no money within an hour.More than this time is one penny per hour.

Otherwise, this position may not be vacant for a day.

Zhao Keran gave Hong Feng a lot of pastry recipes from the system, and told him how to make scented tea and fruit tea.

Those aristocratic children who were sent by the elders of the family to find out the details came to the teahouse, after eating cakes and drinking tea.Will ask the last sentence, can the pastries and tea be taken away.Hong Feng is also very face-saving, as long as he asks, he will give some to be taken back.

While eating the cakes brought by the juniors from the teahouse, the elders of the aristocratic family felt very at ease listening to them retell "Legend of Heroes of the Jianghu".

Later, except for the few families that got along very closely with the Wang family, although the other families said they were afraid of Zhao Keran and Hong Feng joining forces to do things together.But none of this has anything to do with them smiling and coming to the teahouse to listen to "The Legend of Heroes of the Jianghu". They came here for the next martial arts leader, as well as tea and cakes, not to give money to the little county magistrate.

The little bean dings have all returned home from the holiday today. Seeing that the big guy has been busy with him for so long, Zhao Keran is going to take them to the teahouse to have a good meal and drink, and have a team building activity of unity and friendship.

When everyone heard this, they were very happy.They have long wanted to taste the extremely delicious pastries and tea handed down from the teahouse. Now that the county magistrate treats guests, they have to open their bellies to eat.

But before he had time to go out, Du Youwei came over with a dark face and reported, "My lord, there is a tax envoy from the Salt Tax Department outside the door, and he wants to meet with you." I really pick my time.

Zhao Keran opened the door, puzzled.Fengzhu?What did he come to me for?

"Go and invite people to the study."

Feng Zhu followed Du Youwei into the county government office, and he always felt hairy along the way.Feng Zhu took a deep breath to adjust his thoughts.He thought it was because he had been too worried recently that he had this strange feeling.

After walking for a while, Du Youwei, who was leading the way, said coldly, "Here we are."

Feng Zhu was a little puzzled, had he ever offended the yamen servant in front of him in the past [-] years of his life?

"Master Feng came to see me, what's the matter?" Seeing that the person finally came, Zhao Keran asked Feng Zhu with his head hooked.

Listening to the sound, Feng Zhu stopped thinking about the bad attitude of the yamen servant towards him, and walked into the study.He was wearing casual clothes, and the elegant white robe was embroidered with cloud-shaped dark patterns.On the gold-plated leather belt is a double fish pendant, and a flower sachet embroidered with clouds.Standing in front of the door with only a folded satin fan in hand, Zhao Keran felt pleasing to the eye.

The man was rich, very rich.

want to kill.

Feng Zhu trembled subconsciously, this county government office is really a bit strange, it's full of weirdness everywhere.

He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and closed the door.After pinching his fingers, he asked in a nervous tone: "There was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River in July, does Mr. Zhao know?"

Zhao Keran shook his head, "I didn't know it before, but I know it now."

Feng Zhu didn't look very well, he was a little dignified, "Magistrate Zhao, does the recipe for making salt really work? I can't go to the Xu Family Salt Pond to check. I'm worried that there might be some mistakes. I..."

Zhao Keran understood why Feng Zhu came here today, and he said, "Lord Feng, you are in a hurry to create chaos now. The Xu family's salt has been sold in Jingyang, and the production of fine salt is quite large. Now the town can buy fine salt." Those who buy salt won’t buy coarse salt. A few days ago, Housekeeper Xu shipped a load of good salt to Huimin Supermarket. Don’t you know, Mr. Feng?”

Of course Feng Zhu knew, but this time the disaster was serious, Feng Zhu was very worried about Feng Song, afraid that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe...

"I received news a few days ago that my brother has been escorted to Fengyang." Feng Zhu frowned, "Zhang Shihai, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, has always been at odds with my brother. Zhang Shihai is responsible for the post-disaster reconstruction and the arrangements for the victims. If he If you don't handle it well, you will be reprimanded by His Majesty. I'm afraid that Zhang Shihai will feel resentful and take this opportunity to add insult to injury."

Zhao Keran was taken aback, Zhang Shihai?Why is there him everywhere?

After thinking about the meeting, Zhao Keran said: "Don't worry too much. After all, the Salt Transport Envoy is also for the salt production of Dayuan, and he didn't deliberately damage the mountains and forests. Zhang Shihai can't find any other mistakes. His Majesty will also have something in his heart." It’s my own decision. It’s not that there have been floods in Jiangnan and Huaihai in previous years, and not every salt transport envoy has been executed.” Zhao Keran changed the subject and said to Feng Zhu: “Lord Feng, don’t worry. As long as your majesty wants the salt industry to develop in a healthy way in the future , then the beach sun method will definitely save your brother's life. The Xu family is still counting on 'Xu Yan' to become famous, so it's impossible to fool you, isn't it?"

After thinking about it carefully, Feng Zhu also felt that what Zhao Keran said was right. He bowed his hands and thanked Zhao Keran in a gentle manner, "Feng Zhu thanked County Magistrate Zhao."

Zhao Keran is much shorter than Feng Zhu, he stood on tiptoe and patted Feng Zhu's shoulder, "Master Feng can talk to me lightly and deeply, so I think he would like to make friends with me." Then he said: "In that case, Then I'll take Master Feng to a place to relax."

For team building, it’s okay to bring one more person there.

Feng Zhu didn't refute Zhao Keran's words, Jingyang was very big, but he didn't even have a single person to talk to, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Zhao Keran to say something.You know, they haven't seen each other a few times.

And he really felt that this little dwarf was someone he could make friends with.Otherwise, when he was so worried, he wouldn't have just thought of coming to the county government to complain to the other party.

Feng Zhu followed Zhao Keran out of the study room, and raised his own conditions, "I won't go to Goulan Courtyard." The girl inside is not as good-looking as me...

Zhao Keran pointed to himself, and said seriously: "I'll take you there after I grow up for two years."

Du Youwei had brought people to wait for Zhao Keran to come out in the main hall, "Lord county magistrate, have you finished talking?"

Zhao Keran nodded and said with a smile: "Lord Feng is with us, let's go!"

Only then did Feng Zhu realize that Zhao Keran was going to take the entire county government to have fun.No wonder the bearded man was so hostile towards him at first...

To avoid onlookers, Yali set off in three batches.Du Youwei followed Zhao Keran and Feng Zhu with half of the guards.

Pan Dahai led the second group from the carpenter workshop, and Shumo and his other half escorted the third group.Huo Yuan and Fang Zhongyuan took Wang Chunhua and three children to leave last.

Feng Zhu stopped in front of a two-story wooden building, and the wooden plaque read "a teahouse".There were bursts of cheers from inside, the voices were full of people, and it was very lively.

He read the name of the teahouse and hummed, "Who came up with this name? It's so ugly."

Zhao Keran heard that he wanted to hit someone, and said angrily, "You also have a good-looking face!"

When Feng Zhu heard this, he bowed his head very politely, he was a gentleman, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. County Magistrate."

"Master Feng, if you are beaten with a sack someday, I won't be surprised at all." Zhao Keran gritted his teeth.

Feng Zhu's face changed slightly, and then he coughed, very serious, "What does it sound like to be stuck at the door, let's go in."

Zhao Keran followed behind, tsk tsk tsk, no.There is something wrong with this letter!Could it be that he was really beaten with a sack?can't you?

Hong Feng knew that Zhao Keran was going to bring people from the yamen here today, and left most of the upper floor for them, all of which were excellent viewing angles.

Zhao Keran led Feng Zhu to the elegant room, and Du Youwei went to another one for them.When they left, Zhao Keran asked Du Youwei to open up and eat.Du Youwei nodded cheerfully.

After entering the private room, there are special servants who are responsible for serving the guests in the private room.

Feng Zhu looked at the private room, and through the railing, he could see the table below where the storyteller was sitting.There is a bamboo slip on the table with the menu written on it.There is also a wooden box with several compartments, and some small wooden signs are placed inside.Feng Zhu picked it up and looked at it, the wooden sign was carved with different patterns.

Zhao Keran picked up the menu, "Two cups of watermelon smoothies, one cup of [-]% sugar, one cup..." He asked Feng Zhu who was looking at the wooden sign, "How much sugar do you want? The higher the price, the sweeter it will be."

Feng Zhu thought for a while and said, "[-]%."

"Two cups of watermelon smoothie, one cup with [-]% sugar, and one cup with [-]% sugar."

The servant got the order and went down to prepare. Feng Xiucai in the audience was just talking about the excitement, saying that it was the knight Lu who broke through the death pass alone and rescued the merchant who was hijacked by the bandits.

Feng Zhu listened with gusto, so Zhao Keran picked a wooden sign carved with plum blossoms and threw it on the table, cheering: "Good!"

"What's the use of throwing away this brand?" Feng Zhu was puzzled.

Zhao Keran pointed to the wooden sign and said, "It's for tipping. The wooden sign is light and won't hurt you. The plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum represent 25 Wen, 75 Wen, [-] Wen, and [-] Wen respectively."

Feng Zhu nodded, expressing his understanding.Afterwards, Zhao Keran watched helplessly as the other party threw down all the wooden chrysanthemum plaques, and performed for him what is called "The Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers".

This is much more interesting than Feng Xiucai's book.

"Do you still have the chrysanthemum card?" Feng Zhu asked unsatisfactorily after scattering the flowers.

Zhao Keran wished he could pull Feng Xiucai away and tell the story by himself!Feng Xiucai downstairs was also a lot more excited than before because of this "flower rain", and even broke a few voices.

"Watermelon smoothie is here!"

Feng Zhu's nose smelled sweet and fruity.

Zhao Keran asked the servant to bring some more chrysanthemum cards, which Feng Zhu had already drunk.

The pure white porcelain cup contained a red liquid with finely crushed ice and red pulp.A little brown malt syrup was poured on the top, Feng Zhu picked up the cup and took a sip.

The pulp and the smoothie entered his mouth, and a fruit aroma that he had never tasted filled his mouth.

Slightly sweet and refreshing, in this hot season, Feng Zhu felt cool after drinking such a sip.

Zhao Keran asked: "How is it? Is it good? It's only available in summer."

Feng Zhu nodded, "What kind of fruit is this?"

Zhao Keran said: "Watermelon, the seeds from the mountain where I used to practice Taoism. I didn't grow it this year, and I sold it in Huimin Supermarket before. Now there is no stock, and the teahouse will probably be sold in two days before it will be gone. "

"Master Zhao still practice Taoism?" Feng Zhu was a little surprised.

"Not quite." Zhao Keran said, "I just studied in the mountains with my master for eight years. The master is a Taoist leader. But he didn't let me enter the Taoist sect."

Feng Zhu asked suspiciously: "As Mr. Zhao, why did you go to the mountains to learn Taoism for eight years?"

Zhao Keran took a sip of the watermelon smoothie, "My family said that when I was seven years old, I fell into the pool and almost died. Yun Xudao passed through Fengyang on a long journey and said that my fate was peculiar. Only by going up to the mountain to learn Taoism with him can the death be resolved." He said. He licked the remaining juice on his mouth, "Grandfather is worried about me, so he will agree."

When Huo Yuan came in, he saw Zhao Keran licking the watermelon juice from the corner of his mouth.He asked Zhao Xiaoyu, Huo An and Da Niu to find a place to sit.He walked towards Zhao Keran and pointed to the corner of his mouth.

Zhao Keran followed the place Huo Yuan pointed back and forth for a long time, and every time he perfectly avoided the malt syrup on the corner of his mouth.

Huo Yuan couldn't hold back and stretched out his hand, the callus on his fingertips brushed the corner of Zhao Keran's mouth, wiping off the sweet and greasy malt syrup.

Zhao Keran was stunned, and he pursed his lips, feeling a vague pain in his mouth.

The author has something to say: Congratulations to Xiao Zhao for being awarded the champion of Jingyang's first pavement naming.
