My whole family is dancing

Chapter 421 The Critical Moment Is Very Generous

The gate of the government office looks like it has been around for a while, but its power is still there.

Knowing who was coming, someone inside greeted a few people and entered the door. At this moment, Mr. Yan, the magistrate, was already waiting, and when he saw the Bai family coming in, he showed a very kind smile.

"I am the largest sugar factory in the Southwest, yes, yes."

For the magistrates, the Baijia is their political achievements. You must know that the magistrate Yu of Cangxi County, who single-handedly supported the Baijia, has been promoted so quickly in recent years because of the Baijia.

Bai Changqing and the others hurried forward to pay respects, Master Yan acted as if he loved the people like a child, and got up to help himself, "Quickly please get up."

After exchanging pleasantries, a few more people were invited to sit down, and then I said, "I have been in the southwest for more than a year, and I have always wanted to visit Wenchang Village in Cangxi County, but I have been busy with business, so I have never been free. "

In fact, it is true that he is busy, but he is also waiting for hundreds of people to visit him.

Bai Changqing cupped his hands, "It took more than ten days to travel from Fucheng to Cangxi County. Thanks to the blessing of the Lord, it can be reached in two days by water. It is really a blessing for us and the people."

"Hahaha~~~"

Lord Yan smiled happily, "It's all the work of predecessors, I dare not take it all on me."

Zhang Xianyu stood up and offered this obeisance. They bought a Jade Buddha from the capital on purpose. Lord Yan's eyes lit up, and he accepted it after some refusals.

Knowing that Baijia had just returned from the capital, Zhang Xianyu was a little curious, and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, we are here today. One is that last year, Your Excellency issued a decree that is beneficial to merchants, and our Baijia sugar factory also benefited from it. Today is a special visit. Came to thank you."

"Secondly, I have something to ask from adults."

Mr. Yan expressed his willingness to hear the details, and Zhang Xianyu said, "Our trip to the capital has been fruitful. The first is that the imperial court lifted the sea ban, and the imperial court purchased 50 catties of sugar of various colors from outside. Our hundreds of sugar factories were lucky to win."

Lord Yan, as the magistrate, naturally knows about the ban on opening the sea, but Baijia can stand out, which shows his ability.

"it is good!"

"I have also heard about the sea ban. This is a major event for the court. I am proud that hundreds of families can win."

Zhang Xianyu opened his mouth after being polite, "The second is that General An hopes to buy sugar from Baijia. sugar cane."

"This year we have to rush to produce the 50 catties of goods requested by the imperial court. In order to be able to deliver the goods, we also ordered some sugar cane from other places when we came back this time, but it is best to take the waterway to transport to Wenchang Village. We want to rent sugar cane at the wharf. Come down to a location to load, but we don't have a ship."

Bai Changqing stood up and added, "Our Bai family seldom comes to Fucheng, and we don't know much about Fucheng, so we want to ask your lord for help."

"General An?"

Yan Da's face turned serious, "The enemy invaders on the border, General An has led the army to go out, if you want to provide sugar, I'm afraid it will be limited."

Since the availability of sugar and the ability to make a large amount of sugar, the generals in the army were the first to discover the importance of sugar. In times of crisis, soldiers can skip food. As long as they can eat a few pieces of sugar, they will have the strength to kill the enemy. The adults were keen to spot the opportunity.

"I will handle the sugar cane boats for you. I have only one request. After the first batch of sugar comes out, it will be delivered to the front line as quickly as possible."

Bai Changqing, Zhang Xianyu, and Bai Fuer were a little dumbfounded, and suddenly remembered the [-]-mile rush, and Bai Fuer asked, "My lord, is there a war? We didn't hear any news when we left the capital." ?”

Lord Yan sighed, and said briefly, "The counting date should be when you leave the capital for four or five days. Speaking of which, Cangxi County is really a good place. The descendants of the Wei family will be able to win the Wu Tanhua this time. The future generations are awesome. , this time also went to the battlefield together."

The descendants of the Wei family?

"But Wei Yunqi?"

"That's right, that's right." Only then did the magistrate Yan realize that the Wei family and the Bai family should be familiar with each other.

Wei Yunqi is on the expedition?

Bai Fuer was a little surprised.

Zhang Xianyu also felt tense, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable, what if something happens.

Subconsciously glanced at Baifuer, Baifuer thought about the sugar, but didn't see the test in her eyes.

Bai Fuer said, "Before leaving the capital, the steward of General An's Mansion has already informed us that they will open a road from the southwest to the capital to facilitate their transportation of sugar."

"Now it seems that the sugar is in a hurry, but we don't have any stock in hand. The sugarcane in the field is still sugarcane seedlings. The first batch of sugar will have to wait until mid-December at the earliest. I don't know if it will be too late?"

Lord Yan said in a deep voice, "The war is not over so soon, you just hurry up and deliver the candy. I will find the shortest way as soon as possible to help the people in the General's Mansion deliver the candy."

This is the time for him to perform, and he must seize the opportunity.

He felt that it was necessary to talk about the importance of this war with hundreds of families. Merchants usually know how to make money, and the country's righteousness is also important at critical moments.

Lala said a lot of miscellaneous things, and the three members of the Bai family all said that they understand the reason why there is only a bowl in a pot. They hope that the country will be peaceful more than anyone else in business.

"We understand the meaning of the adults. Baijia's success today is the result of the support of the previous adults. Naturally, we understand the choice at critical moments."

Mrs. Yan was very pleased, and wanted to keep them for dinner, because they were female relatives, so she invited Mrs. Yan out again.

Mrs. Yan and Zhang Xianyu had a very happy conversation, especially after receiving a gift from Zhang Xianyu, but Miss Yan did not come out. It is understandable after thinking about it. She is a majestic daughter of the magistrate, so how could she come out to meet a merchant like Baifuer? daughter.

Bai Fu'er also heaved a sigh of relief, it was just a good time not to see her, and if it was someone with a big air, she would not be able to serve her.

With the help of Mr. Yan, the big ship went smoothly. On the second day, people around me were sent to tell them that a place had been reserved for them since December, and a big ship to transport sugar cane was also arranged for them. The location of the pier was not needed. Rent is given, but the rent of the big ship must be borne by themselves.

Several people said that there is no problem with this.

Bai Changqing sighed, "In this way, we may not have much profit this year."

Bai Fuer joked, "When the money was distributed at the beginning of the year, the third aunt said that there was no place to use the money, and the family's savings were increasing."

Bai Changqing laughed. Speaking of which, the family is very rich now, and he felt that this life would never be spent.

Bai Fuer said again, "We sent candy over there. If the soldiers who went to the battlefield to kill the enemy can kill one more enemy if they eat two pieces of candy, it's worth thinking about it. As long as we can win the battle, it will make us feel better in the future." Every year, I only worry about buying sugar cane to make sugar, even if I don’t make any money this year, it’s worth it.”

Zhang Xianyu looked at her from the side, and blinked, "Who was it when General An said that the candy was a hundred cents a catty, and was so distressed that he wanted to cut people with a knife?"

"So generous now?"

Bai Fuer put his hips on his hips, "At this time and that time, there was no war at that time, and now everyone is fighting with their lives, how can I be reluctant to part with a little candy?"

"I am very generous at critical moments."
