Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 701 Benefits
The words Er Ya sent sent ripples through Tang Wan's calm mind.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed, but then she found it somewhat amusing.

The War King is always cold-faced and dignified. How could he let Er Ya convey these words? It doesn't fit his image at all, nor does it conform to the current subtle way of expression. No wonder Er Ya felt embarrassed.

"I understand." Tang replied to Er Ya in as calm a tone as possible. "Also, tell him not to worry about this place and to focus on dealing with Nanmo."

She ultimately didn't have the heart to ask Er Ya to pass on anything more private, and only gave her a casual reminder.

Er Ya seemed relieved and disconnected the call after responding.

The next few days passed uneventfully.

Besides being busy with household chores, Tang Wan was also busy with the food in her space.

Inside the space, after the last batch of ripe grain was harvested, threshed, dried, and bagged, the agreed-upon day for the delivery of 300,000 jin of grain finally arrived!

Early that morning, in front of the Zhao family's private granary in the prefecture, the fourth young master of the Zhao family and a group of strong and capable workers were waiting.

Tang Wan arrived at the Zhao family's granary with more than a dozen horse-drawn carts loaded with grain and a group of servants responsible for escorting them.

These servants were just transferred from the estate by Tang Wan. She originally wanted to buy some servants for the residence in the prefecture, but buying too many people would be inconvenient. However, she needed people to deliver the grain, so Tang Wan transferred some servants and tenants from the estate to be responsible for transporting and escorting it.

"Master, you've arrived!" Zhao Si greeted him warmly.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Tang Wan said politely.

Young Master Zhao responded jokingly, "Not at all, not at all! Master, please don't be so polite with me, it's frightening..."

The steward of the Zhao residence stepped forward, respectfully interrupting the two men's pleasantries: "Fourth Young Master, Master, it's getting late, you two should..."

Tang Wan remained calm and simply nodded to Li Zhuangtou.

Li Zhuangtou understood and announced loudly, "Inspect the grain!"

At his command, the servants quickly and orderly lifted the tarpaulin and untied the ropes.

In an instant, golden wheat grains, plump rice stalks, and bright red sorghum were carefully carried down and piled up into small mountains at the entrance of the granary.

The steward of the Zhao family's house had an eye-opener. He stepped forward, grabbed a handful of wheat grains, and examined them carefully: the grains were plump, golden in color, dry and uniform, and free from mold and insect damage.

Rice and sorghum are also among the finest!

Manager Zhao couldn't help but show a satisfied expression. He led his men to randomly check several bags, and the results were all the same.

Bags of grain were weighed, recorded, and carried into huge granaries.

As the grain bags dwindled and the grain stacks in the granary rose higher, the smile on Zhao Si Gongzi's face grew ever wider.

Finally, the accountant, while working on his abacus, announced the final figures: "Reporting to the Fourth Young Master, the total is... exactly 350,000 catties! 150,000 catties of wheat, 120,000 catties of millet, 70,000 catties of sorghum, and 10,000 catties of rice! All of superior quality!"

"Three hundred and fifty thousand catties?!" Although Young Master Zhao was mentally prepared that Tang Wan could deliver on time, the extra fifty thousand catties still surprised him greatly!
He looked at Tang Wan abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Master, this? Wasn't it agreed that it would be 300,000 jin?"

Tang Wan smiled slightly and said, "It was agreed that it would be at least 300,000 jin, but it's not a certainty. If we can return a little more, the pressure on you will be less." Zhao Si bowed and said, "Master is very thoughtful. This way, the pressure on the family is indeed less."

Tang Wan smiled slightly and explained, "I am deeply grateful for your father's trust in lending me grain to relieve my urgent need. This extra 50,000 catties is considered as interest, and it is also a token of my sincerity. Please be sure to convey this to Master Zhao, Fourth Young Master. I am extremely grateful."

Her tone was sincere, explaining both the reason and highlighting that this was a way of repaying the Zhao family for their timely help.

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, Zhao Si quickly said politely, "Master, you can't say that. We're exchanging our old grain for so much of your new grain, and of such good quality at that. It's a business deal, one that benefits both of us. There's no need for interest. Let's just say it's 350,000 jin."

Tang Wan looked at Zhao Si Gongzi carefully and praised, "Congratulations, Fourth Young Master! You're becoming more and more like a mature businessman. I admire you!"

Zhao Si Gongzi was slightly embarrassed by Tang Wan's praise, but he accepted it readily and said with a smile, "I'll take it as a compliment from the master. Thank you for your affirmation!"

"Of course, it's praise! Fourth Young Master has made rapid progress, and I'm sure your father is very pleased!" Tang Wan changed the subject, "But if Master Zhao knew that Fourth Young Master hadn't received the interest he was supposed to earn, I wonder if he would still praise him!"

Young Master Zhao touched his hair, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Master, how can we use ordinary business rules to calculate this? You are our savior and now we are partners. We can benefit each other, but our Zhao family will never take advantage of you."

"The Zhao family is truly a family that accumulates good deeds!" Tang Wan said with some emotion.

Young Master Zhao was a little embarrassed and secretly pleased after being praised by Tang Wan.

It used to be rare for people to praise him like this. Recently, his father has praised him occasionally, but not so directly.

Thinking back to the master's demeanor, and realizing that his own conduct was insignificant compared to the master's, he solemnly cupped his hands, his tone even more respectful than before: "Master, you are truly virtuous! You keep your promises! The Zhao family will accept this grain! Let's sign the documents and seals first."

After saying this, Young Master Zhao personally signed his name on the handover document and affixed the Zhao family seal.

The documents were exchanged, and the matter was settled.

As the heavy doors of the granary slowly closed, Tang Wan finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart.

"Li Zhuangtou," Tang Wan said in a light tone, "tell everyone that you've worked hard today! When you get back, everyone will get half a month's wages as a bonus! And there will be extra dishes tonight!"

"Thank you, Master!" The servants burst into enthusiastic cheers, their tired faces beaming with joy.

With 350,000 jin of grain successfully delivered to the Zhao family, a huge weight was lifted from Tang Wan's heart, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After bidding farewell to Young Master Zhao, Tang Wan gave the reward money to Li Zhuangtou, instructing him to take his men back to the manor, while she herself returned to her residence in the prefectural capital.

Although the 350,000 jin of grain owed this month has been delivered, we still have to repay 500,000 jin every month thereafter, so we have to keep planting grain in the space.

Fortunately, with the addition of two new ten-mu plots of land later, there is no problem in producing more than 500,000 jin of high-quality grain every month.

This grain is more than enough to repay the Zhao family with 500,000 catties per month, and there is still some left to repay the Yu family.

With that in mind, Tang Wan decided to cultivate another five acres. It would be convenient for her to start cultivating them today since she wasn't home.

If I'm at home, I'm afraid that spending too much time away from others will give me away and reveal my true colors.
So the first two reclamation operations were carried out while I was away from home.
