Chapter 1142 Uncle Wei, I'm Hungry

"Hundreds of thousands of stones are not too much to put into the national treasury, but under normal circumstances, it is already a large amount." After quickly flipping through the ledger, Feng Qingbai said.

"Now it's more than a hundred thousand shi, next year it can be doubled by one or two, and the next year it will be even more. Just wait, the second brother will surprise you in the future." Liu Zhiqiu folded his arms, his pride soaring to the sky.

"According to your miser's temperament, you can donate food for free, why is it so unbelievable?"

"Grass, your second brother and I also have a passionate heart, but usually I don't show it."

What is so unbelievable? Do you think he wants to be so generous? If Feng Qingbai is not the king of Nanling, Nannan is not the princess of Nanling, and Xiao Feng'er is not the emperor of Nanling, how can he manage the treasury to death?

Seeing the convoy called by Feng Qingbai transporting the grain from the granary, his heart is actually bleeding, okay?

It's just that he guards the money and keeps the money that should be taken. He never takes outsiders a little bit.

He only takes his own.

Looking at the man pretending to be generous, Feng Qingbai raised his lips and took out a few banknotes from his arms, "This is fifty thousand taels. Your grain will be collected by the imperial court at half the market price."

Liu Zhiqiu's eyes popped out, and he quickly picked up the silver bill and put it into his arms, "Oh, what an embarrassment, you said it was donated to the national treasury, but you actually threw money at me, you really deserve to be a good brother!"

"Good brother, why don't you return the money to me?"

"I have no regrets. Although I am willing to donate without compensation, it is not my style not to take money. You know it." Liu Zhiqiu naturally accepted the nickname of miser, "However, this money is yours. Did it come out, or did it come from Xiao Feng’er? Or did it come from the treasury?”

"What's the difference?"

"If you were with Xiao Feng'er, I'm afraid grandma will tell me to return it if she finds out." Asking him to return it is better than not giving it to him in the first place, so that his heart won't be hurt.

Feng Qingbai rubbed his brows, now he can't harden his heart not only to Shengsheng, but also to anyone in the Liu family compound, "It's from the imperial court. Nanling has not yet reached the point where it needs to collect money from the people. Moreover, you have already done a good job in tenant leasing, and it didn’t take long for you to donate grain for free. In the eyes of other grain merchants, you are simply making them feel uncomfortable, and you will soon become a target of public criticism, which is not good for you. "

Liu Zhiqiu is not stupid, of course he knows what Feng Qingbai means.

He reduced the rent to 30% in the tenant lease before, which has already harmed the interests of many people, and now many eyes are staring at him secretly. If he turned around and donated the food again, he would naturally gain a reputation, but he would also offend everyone.

If he was a bachelor, he would not be afraid, not to mention that he had so many backers behind him.

But he is not a bachelor, he has a family, a wife and an old man, there is no guarantee that no one will be forced to jump over the wall and attack his family instead.

At that time, no matter how big the backing is, it is useless.

It seems that if you want to do something good in the future, you still need to think carefully, how can you not involve your family in it.

"If there is food in the future, will it be half price?"

"Well, unless the treasury is empty, the border or places are tight, there will always be times when you don't pay."

Liu Zhiqiu curled his lips, he actually didn't want that kind of time to happen at all. If you have money, don’t you still accept it? Moreover, if the state really demanded no compensation, it would mean that Nanling was already in turmoil.

"Hey, if you look through those ledgers, you've read them? Don't you really check them carefully?"

"No need." Feng Qingbai got up and walked to the hall.

He sat here and said it was reconciliation, but he was just going through the motions. He didn't have the slightest doubt about Liu Zhiqiu.

If even Liu Zhiqiu couldn't trust him, then his eyes were purely for decoration.

As soon as the two arrived in the hall, the atmosphere was even more lively than before.

If the Empress Dowager only needed to compete with Liu Muqiu just now, then now she has to face the joint fight between the husband and wife, and the pressure will suddenly increase.

Fortunately, the two Dou'er fought for their strength, and walked around the empress dowager's feet from beginning to end, despite all kinds of temptations and temptations.

One side of the room was full of joy, while the other side Wei Zi and Liu Ya had just arrived in Yuzhou.

If he travels by water, he can return to the Yuzhou farm in seven or eight days, but when he was about to take the boat, Liu Ya'er insisted on transporting the boat, and finally had to go by land.

From the capital to Yuzhou, it takes more than 20 days.

Wei Zi didn't say much about it, he just gave her a meaningful look when the woman covered her head and said she was seasick, and when the woman's small eyes wandered uneasily, she looked away and got into the car in silence.

So during the next 20 days or so, the woman often thought that no one noticed.

When the carriage enters Yuzhou, it will take two days to reach Fangyuan County, and it will only take more than half an hour for Fangyuan County to reach the farm.

"Uncle Wei, I'm hungry." Holding her belly, Liu Ya lowered her head, her voice pitiful.

Then the man said to the driver, "Stop over there and have dinner."

Liu Ya quickly calculated in her mind that it took about half an hour for a meal to be served. If she ate more slowly, it would be okay to delay for a moment, then Uncle Wei would be able to accompany her for another half an hour .

It's only lunch now, and she will eat more slowly at dinner time, maybe Uncle Wei will stay at the farm for the night?

"What are you thinking?"

"I want you to stay at the farm for one night." Immersed in thoughts, Liu Ya answered subconsciously when she heard the question. After realizing it, her expression was relaxed, and she made eye contact with the man in a daze.

Uncle Wei asked her just now?

How did she just say it?

How did you say it?

"Yeah." The man had no expression on his face. He laid out the food that Xiao Er had just brought, picked up his chopsticks, and said, "Eat."

"Oh." With his small mouth half open, Liu Ya made one command and one movement, his eyes continued to be dull.

Uncle Wei said um, um what?

Should he respond to her words, or agree to stay at the farm for one night?

Why is it so hard to guess? Liu Ya wanted to cry.

After finishing the meal in silence, Liu Ya didn't dare to speak again, and even buried her head low when eating, almost putting her head into the bowl.

However, after the meal was used up, and it was almost an hour after the meal was full, Liu Ya didn't stop eating the hot food until he was freezing.

And she was very satisfied with it.

It was already noon when we came out after dinner, and it would be at least evening when we returned to the farm, and Uncle Wei couldn't leave.

"Why do you want me to stay overnight?"

"Ah?" The woman turned her head in a daze, and looked at him in a daze.

Wei Zi closed his eyes lightly. Among the many women he knew, she was the one who liked to be in a daze the most. No matter when she spoke, she would slow down and not be in the mood.

"Why do you want me to stay for one night?" It doesn't matter, he is more patient.

After finishing the question, he didn't stare at the person closely, but turned his eyes away to give the woman time and space to think about the answer.

When she has the courage to say the answer, at least three breaths later.

There is another chapter that will be late, and I can't make it in time when I go home late, so I have to be late. Starting to pay off the debt tomorrow, ah, ah, so crazy! But I found that you are not active in this month's monthly pass. Is it because you are afraid that I will not finish it, so you have hidden the monthly pass? Double, it's still double now, ask for a monthly pass! Let me die, goblins~
