Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 137
"Miss Ye, the guild will have a meeting tomorrow morning. It's your first time attending the guild, so don't be late, and when you get there, talk less and do more." Manager Tong felt his eyelids twitch when he heard that there was something going on in the guild. Recently, Fucheng hasn't heard of any new policies, so it must be a bad thing to call the big guys for a meeting. He thought about it and told Ye Xing in person, so that she wouldn't get angry with others there when she was young and energetic.

Ye Xing felt that Guanshi Tong's tone seemed to be a bad thing for the guild to hold a meeting, so she solemnly assured Guanshi Tong: "Thank you, Guanshi Tong, for letting me know. I will definitely go there early tomorrow, and I will definitely not talk nonsense!"

"Xing'er, what are you going to do in the meeting tomorrow? Why is Guanshi Tong so serious?" Seeing Guanshi Tong leave, she hurriedly discussed with Ye Xing. She was flustered and didn't know what to do. You pretend to be sick and don't go tomorrow, I suddenly feel uncertain."

"Don't worry too much, the left is just to ask everyone to pay more money, and I'm not the only one like this. If I pretend to be sick this time, I will get better in the future. I can't pretend to be sick every time. That's the way to go." Someone caught me and said." Ye Xing put her arms around Wang's arm and walked towards the room, "I don't know how long the meeting will take tomorrow, so I'll leave the shop to you. Little Taozi, you have to obey your mother when my sister is not here tomorrow. Dress and eat yourself."

Ye Tao sat on the bed and nodded obediently. Seeing Ye Xing's relaxed face, Wang swallowed all the words in order not to disturb her mind, hoping that tomorrow would be just some trivial matter.

Ye Xing originally didn't need to get up too early because the shop didn't usually make pancakes and steamed buns, but she remembered Tong Guanshi's instructions all night, and she woke up naturally at dawn.Ye Xing went to the yard to fetch water to wash her face, and found that Mrs. Wang was also up. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ye Xing come out.

"Mother, you woke up so early." Ye Xing looked at Wang's dark eyes and said helplessly, "It's normal for the guild to have a meeting. Why are you facing a big enemy? The big girl and the others will come later You should take this opportunity to go back and sleep well, otherwise you will not be energetic all day, and the guests will be shocked when they see it."

Ye Xing and others ate a bowl of noodle soup on the street and went to the meeting place. Fortunately, she arrived early and there were only a few young shopkeepers waiting there.Ye Xing looked at it secretly, the shops of these people are not big, and the opening hours are a little longer than hers, no wonder they came so early like her.

Although everyone opened a shop in Fucheng, they hardly interacted with each other. They simply greeted each other and then stood awkwardly two arms away from each other.And because there are very few female shopkeepers in Fucheng, the male shopkeepers who are not familiar with Ye Xing more or less look down on Ye Xing, and when they meet them, they gather together and whisper.Ye Xing didn't want to make fun of herself, so she didn't go there, and only started to observe the decorations in the room to pass the time.

It took another quarter of an hour for the other shopkeepers in Fucheng to arrive late, but everyone who came in carefully kept a distance from Ye Xing.Finally, when Ye Xing was about to yawn from sleepiness, Guanshi Tong and Yan Cong came, and Ye Xing rushed to meet her.

"You guys are finally here. I'm going to fall asleep sitting there alone counting the bricks on the ground. By the way, when will the meeting be held? The big guys will go back to do business later."

Ever since Yan Cong knew that Mrs. Wu had gone to Mrs. Wang again but there was still no news, he knew what Ye Xing meant.During this period of time, he seldom went to Ye Xing's shop to look for her, and even asked his servants to pass on business matters.Today, he was caught off guard when he first saw Yan Cong, but in front of everyone, he could only nod his head and greet Ye Xing.

Ye Xing also knew that Yan Cong was uncomfortable because of Wu's messy mandarin ducks, so she focused on talking to Tong Guanshi, and only asked Yan Cong who was on the side from time to time. After all, they were still partners in everyone's eyes.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's have a meeting now." A respectable old man is the president of the Xunyang City Guild. Although he is old, his voice is still loud. Quiet, all shopkeepers looked at him.

"Presumably everyone has felt the abnormality of the weather this year. It is not yet July and it is already unbearably hot, and some people in the countryside have collapsed in the fields because of it." The president looked at the look below and continued, "That's why the government asked us to increase our line money by [-]% this year to use it to buy medicinal materials and tea drinks for the people in summer. This is also considered a merit, and everyone should treat it as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."

"The line money has just increased once before, and it didn't continue to increase until Mr. Shen came. Who knows that it will increase by [-]% now, and I don't know if it will drop again after this year." Complaining softly, especially for some small shops that rely on small profits but quick turnover, they are like cutting meat when their line money rises.

Seeing Guanshi Tong and Yan Jing, Ye Xing also frowned. I'm afraid that the money in this line has indeed been increased endlessly. I'm afraid that the price will increase as soon as the money is paid here, and it will be the common people who suffer.But everyone was just complaining, and everyone knew that the imperial court's regulations could not be changed, so no one questioned this matter as an early bird.

The president closed his eyes only as if he couldn't hear these words, and when Xixi Suosuo's complaints subsided, he slowly opened his eyes and said: "There is one more thing, the Fuzhou government has imported a batch of tea, which was originally intended as a sympathetic gift. For the servants below, who would have thought that the profiteer would pass off the second-best tea as it contained broken tea, and now that batch of tea can only be digested by our shop in Fucheng."

The bitterness on Kemai's face became even more obvious when everyone heard it. It's fine if it's just ordinary tea, but who can sell the broken broken tea to?How dare profiteers use such excessive means to deceive the government, even with their eyes closed, they know that the people in the government are taking kickbacks, and then let them, businessmen, pay the bill.

"I have long heard that the newly appointed magistrate of Fuzhou is not very good as an official, and he is good at making money. No wonder he is getting better and better as an official. I can't stand it. People have money to manage!" Many people immediately thought The newly appointed magistrate of Fuzhou, Lin Tongpan and others in Xunyang Prefecture were also exploited in the same way, but after Governor Shen came, Lin Tongpan immediately changed his temperament, and he even became an upright official with others.It's just that Xunyang Fucheng is still some distance away from Fuzhou, and Zhou Zhizhou acted boldly because Mr. Shen couldn't keep an eye on him all the time.

Everyone cursed the hateful Zhou Zhizhou bitterly, but no one stood up to bear the burden this time.The president glanced at the noisy businessmen below, knocked on his crutches and asked again: "Who will pay for the purchase this time? The quantity is not very large. There are many big profitable shops in Fucheng, so it shouldn't be difficult to eat."

The people below were still silent when they heard this. At this moment, Guanshi Wan suddenly stepped forward, and just when everyone thought that he was also ready to take over the department, he said: "I don't know if the president knows that we have a new one in Fucheng in the past year. It’s a very prosperous shop, and I haven’t participated in the previous Kemai, so let’s just do it this time.”
