After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 73 He's even seen the national treasury
Ten taels of silver were laid out on the table, eliciting gasps of surprise from the crowd: "Wow...so much!"

People around heard the sudden exclamation coming from the village chief's house and wanted to go in to see what was going on.

However, they were stopped by the wall and gate outside the courtyard.

She tried to climb over the wall, but as soon as she got over the top, she saw the village chief's wife, Aunt Zhang, sitting in the yard, coldly watching her.

Then she was so frightened that she fell off the wall.

All that could be heard was a cry of pain, "Ouch, ouch..."

Only those who went to the mountains with you that day will receive points. Those who didn't go won't get any.

Therefore, those who did not go were kept outside the village chief's house.

The people in the room stared intently at the more than twenty 10-tael silver ingots on the table; they had never seen such a large pile of silver before!

The village chief took a puff of his pipe and produced the receipt.

"This is the receipt for the sale of wild honey. It was personally signed and stamped by Manager Sun of Chen's Pharmacy. Anyone who can read can take a look."

Huang Caicai's mother immediately took it. Her father used to be a schoolteacher and knew a few characters when he was at her parents' home.

After she finished reading, someone eagerly asked, "Can you read us what's written on it?"

"It says here that twenty-four catties of wild honey were sold to the Chen family's pharmacy. At ten taels of silver per catty, the total price was two hundred and forty taels of silver."

As soon as Wu Guihua finished reading, she heard a gasp. Two hundred and forty taels of silver? That means each of them could get more than ten taels.

Looking at the silver on the table with a surge of excitement, he urged, "Village Chief, let's start distributing the silver quickly!"

Qi Yunran and Pei Yuanjun did not interrupt, allowing them to discuss and decide.

Qi Yunran had 20,000 taels of silver in her pocket, so she wasn't worried about how much she would get.

Pei Yuanjun had even seen the national treasury, so naturally he wouldn't have any objection to the two hundred and fifty taels. The village chief raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "First of all, you should thank Yun Ran. If it weren't for her, these wild honeys wouldn't be worth so much silver. Manager Sun of the Chen family said that he bought them for you at the price in the capital because of Yun Ran."

The villagers thanked Qi Yunran profusely: "Yunran, you're really amazing! But how did you get to know Manager Sun?"

These words were deliberately spoken by Pei Wenwen's mother, Yang Guihua, to make things difficult for Qi Yunran.

If she had answered that she met him while selling wild ginseng, people wouldn't be as grateful to her as they are now.

"Well, the shopkeeper was definitely giving my husband face. Aunt Yang probably doesn't know, but the young master of Chen's Pharmacy is my husband's friend in the capital, Zhao Baoye!"

Once Zhao Baoye's name was mentioned, all doubts were dispelled.

Indeed, the young master from the capital is a friend of Pei's eldest son.

Taking care of his fellow villagers was thanks to Dalang!

He immediately became even more enthusiastic towards Pei Yuanjun: "You're truly capable, young master!"

"Not at all, we're just friends. I received your kindness when I went to the capital for the imperial examinations before, so this is just a way of repaying you."

Yang Guihua felt somewhat stifled after hearing Qi Yunran's seemingly logical words.

Qi Yunran looked at Pei Yuanjun with a slight twitch of her lips, saying that he was panting when she called him fat.

Staring at him sarcastically, feeling Qi Yunran's death stare, Pei Yuanjun turned and smiled gently, his eyes conveying the message, "My wife, you yourself are trying to pin the credit on me. I'm just making the most of you. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Qi Yunran was speechless. He really knew how to seize every opportunity and never suffer any loss.

However, Pei Yuanjun still approves of Qi Yunran's behavior of blaming him for every difficult problem.
