The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Several people drank soy milk and ate tofu flower, time passed quickly.After the tofu flower was finished, Qu Zhishui offered to leave with Angelica.

He could see that Xiao Jingyu should have a serious business with the princess, and it was shameful for their master and apprentice to stay here all the time.Besides, I've already eaten so much at Wangfei's place, so why don't I stay here for dinner if I don't leave?He thinks he's not that thick-skinned.

This time Tao Anran didn't keep any guests, his guess was similar to Miracle Doctor Qu's.Especially after seeing off the master and apprentice, Xiao Jingyu entered the room first, and Tao Anran was sure that he came here to discuss business with her.It just so happened that he also had something to discuss with Xiao Jingyu.

Besides Xiao Jingyu and Tao Anran, there was a third person in the room, and that was Qian Mancang.

When Tao Anran was wondering who Qian Mancang was, Xiao Jingyu said, "Princess, let me introduce you. His name is Qian Mancang, and he is mainly in charge of the caravan and some businesses outside the mansion. He was also in charge of the salt business before." of."

Qian Mancang also formally saluted, "I have seen the princess, the villain's name is Qian Mancang. It means that the warehouse can be filled with money. This is also the villain's lifelong pursuit."

Tao Anran hastily echoed, "Good name, good ambition!" It's just that he still doesn't quite understand why such a solemn introduction is for.

Qian Mancang was even more excited to see that the princess understood his ambition. He quickly said: "Princess, the frost-like sugar we saw before seems not difficult to make. But there is no such white sugar on the market today. As long as We're going to sell this sugar first, and we'll be able to..."

Tao Anran looked at Qian Mancang, who was spitting and looking forward to the blueprint for the future, and failed to interrupt him several times.So he tilted his head to look at Xiao Jingyu, what's the matter with this man?

Xiao Jingyu looked at his princess with puzzled eyes, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up. He quickly took a sip of tea from the teacup to cover it up.

Tao Anran listened to Qian Mancang talking non-stop for a few minutes, and finally stopped when he said he was tired.But Tao Anran could also tell that this was drawing a big cake for him.

Qian Mancang poured himself a cup of tea, and then asked expectantly, "Princess, what do you think?"

Tao Anran didn't answer, and looked directly at Xiao Jingyu.This is to want to be a white wolf in his empty hand, that is really a beautiful idea!

Xiao Jingyu knew what Qian Mancang meant when he heard what he said, but he didn't stop him, just wanted to see what the princess would do.Unexpectedly, the princess cleverly threw the problem to him directly.

Looking at Wang Hao's eyes again, Xiao Jingyu understood that Qian Mancang's calculations were in vain.He tapped the table and said, "Qian Mancang, the technique of refining sugar that I saw before belongs to the princess, not the palace. You have to show sincerity, and I believe the princess will agree. Right, princess?"

When Tao Anran heard this seemingly doubtful but actually affirmative words, although she was slandered in her heart, she still agreed on the surface.Although the production of white sugar was originally prepared for personal use, it can be used for business and it is better to make more money.

Tao Anran nodded, and said, "Then we'd better divide according to the salt refining, four or six."

Xiao Jingyu raised his eyebrows before saying anything, Qian Mancang refused first, "No, this share is too high. Originally, the share of salt refining was very high. This time, regarding white sugar, this technology is simpler, at most [-]. And The division of salt refining should also be changed."

Qian Mancang is Xiao Jingyu's confidant who manages the money business. Although he is a glorious caravan manager outside, he seems to be rich.Who can know that he actually has no money?It is true that the Northern Army alone consumes tens of thousands of households, and it is still consumed continuously, without stopping for a day.

Pity him traveling all over the world to make money, but he hasn't enjoyed it yet.Fortunately, the master I met was a person who cared about his subordinates' frugal life, so although he was tired, he was willing.

When he got the salt refining method and started selling salt, Qian Mancang could finally see the dawn of making enough money. Unexpectedly, the prince directly said that he would share with the princess [-] or [-]%, which ruined most of his tenderness.This time when he followed the prince back to the mansion, he mainly wanted to re-discuss the share with the princess.

In Qian Mancang's heart, the princess lives in the inner house and should not be proficient in business.The previous share may be just a casual remark, but it happens that the prince is not easy to refuse, after all, they are a husband and wife.So at this time it is up to him to be the villain.In order to earn more money, he was not afraid of offending the princess with all his money.

Coincidentally, I didn't expect to see white sugar like frost when I came to Wangfei's courtyard this time.Qian Mancang once again saw the dawn of making big money.So he was very interested and decided to win this craft.

Tao Anran didn't have time to worry about what Qian Mancang was thinking, all he knew was that he had met an opponent.This is not just buying high-paying technology at a low price, but also trying to re-sign the previous agreement.

Tao Anran looked directly at Xiao Jingyu and asked, "My lord, do you think so too?"

As a qualified subordinate, Qian Mancang could not see the rift between his master and husband.He hurriedly said: "Princess, this is a small idea. The prince is not very clear about some things, but the young one is in charge of the business outside the mansion, and knows the cost and profit clearly, so I feel that the share is too high. ."

This is Xiaozhi's reasoning with emotion.But Tao Anran pointed directly at her heart, "Since you are the prince's subordinate, then you should listen to what the prince has to say."

Qian Mancang was unclear, so, "Of course." After all, the prince is sitting next to him now.

Tao Anran nodded, "That's good. Then you wait, I'll go get something."

Qian Mancang watched the princess leave, feeling a little confused.He looked at the prince, "My lord, what is the concubine going to get?"

Thoughts flashed across Xiao Jingyu's eyes, he probably knew what it was.He looked at Qian Mancang with a complicated expression, "Qian Mancang, when the princess comes over, just give him the account books and share of the salt. You can talk to the princess about the share of the sugar, and the share of the salt should remain the same. "

Qian Mancang frowned, "My lord, with all due respect, this is not acceptable. The share of the salt must be lowered. You don't know how much money we can make in the future!"

Xiao Jingyu didn't refuse either, it was a blessing to have a loyal subordinate who thought about him.It's just that he thinks it's difficult, after all, the princess doesn't look like she can agree.

Tao Anran came back soon, and even took his own magic weapon.He returned to the table again and asked, "Is what the prince said still counts. You should also listen to what the prince said."

After getting affirmative nods from the two, Tao Anran took out his magic weapon - the original agreement on salt refining.

Seeing this sharing agreement, Xiao Jingyu's heart is indeed the same.

Qian Mancang couldn't believe it.Who would have thought that there was a sharing agreement between the two husbands and wives!Now that the words in black and white are here, combined with the words promised before, Qian Mancang can only accept it.He also figured it out, no wonder the prince said that the share would remain the same, it turned out that there was an agreement to prove it.

Up to now, Qian Mancang can only obediently hand over the previously prepared silver taels and account books to the princess. "Princess, here is the share of the sale of salt and the account book during this period, please check it."

Tao Anran didn't expect to get the first profit from selling salt so soon.He took the account book, and uncomfortably followed the writing method to find the last column, the total amount.

Seeing that number, Tao Anran was stunned.He only thought that selling salt would make money, but he didn't expect to make so much money.And this is only for this period of time, and it will take about a month to fully calculate.

Looking at the small wooden box on the table, Tao Anran opened it and saw that it was all cast into large pieces of silver ingots.He picked up a piece of silver ingot and wanted to take a bite, but there were two people watching in front of him.He hurriedly repacked it and moved the wooden box to his side.

Tao Anran received the money, and the smile on her face couldn't stop.But remembering one more thing, he said quickly: "My lord, you know about the heated kang! Without your permission, I used the people in the house to repair the heated kang outside to make money. Do you want to see the account book?"

Xiao Jingyu replied: "This king knows about this matter, so there is no need to read the ledger. This king has already said that if the princess has any needs, she can directly inform Steward Li. It's just a few people. It's not a big deal. And This heated kang can also make people's lives easier in winter. Although money is charged, the cost is not high, and the princess can use the money for herself."

Xiao Jingyu went on to say: "Princess, you can discuss with Qian Mancang about the share of the sugar production method. He will stay in the mansion for a few days this time to handle the business here."

Tao Anran saw Xiao Jingyu get up and prepare to leave after saying these words.He quickly asked: "My lord, are you going to leave? It's getting dark now, won't your lord stay and have dinner before leaving?"

Xiao Jingyu deliberately sent money over anyway, and generously let him earn pocket money.Tao Anran felt that at least he should be given a meal.

When Xiao Jingyu heard the concubine's request to stay, she wanted to refuse and left directly.

He heard Tao Anran say again: "My lord has never eaten this newly made tofu. Heat a pot at night and put some meat, vegetables and tofu in it. It is steaming hot, which is suitable for this weather."

Probably because Tao Anran had an appetite after hearing Tao Anran's description, it was rare for Xiao Jingyu not to refuse immediately, so he sat down again.

Seeing this, Tao Anran knew that he agreed to stay for dinner.He hurriedly arranged for Bai Lu Han Lu to prepare the charcoal stove and ingredients.Especially the tofu I just made today, although there is only one big piece, it is more than enough for two people to eat.

Qian Mancang also retreated tactfully at this time.

Tao Anran usually eats alone for too long, and now he finally eats with one more person, so he hastened to entertain him warmly.
