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

Chapter 803 Ups and Downs
Young Master Yu quickly composed himself and his expression returned to normal.

Considering that transporting grain from outside to the northern desert would indeed increase costs significantly, adding this 10% is not actually that high, strictly speaking.

However, increasing the price by 10% will indeed have some impact on profits.

However, without the master craftsman's sorghum, the quality of this liquor would be far from reaching the quality of the "Yubing Shao" that is now on the market. One step at a time, there's nothing we can do about it.

The eldest son of the Yu family looked up at the master before him, and recalling her past abilities, he felt reassured. He cupped his hands and said, "Master, you have been very frank with me. This cost is reasonable and the Yu family accepts it."

Tang Wan was quite pleased to hear that the eldest son of the Yu family was so understanding, and replied with a smile, "Young Master Yu is so straightforward. Please rest assured that the quality will not be compromised in the slightest."

The grains in the space are the key raw materials to ensure the quality of the new brew, and since 20% of the new brew is their own profit, they naturally won't use inferior ingredients.

Transporting grain from the capital to the northern desert is a long journey. If we organize our own transport team, this 10% might just cover the expenses along the way. If we hire a security escort agency, this 10% might not be enough.

Therefore, this team must be established as soon as possible, no matter what.

She didn't exaggerate or raise prices arbitrarily; this 10% increase is already a very reasonable price.

"I have the utmost faith in the master!" Young Master Yu said solemnly.

Tang Wan nodded slightly and sat for a while longer until the manager of the Yu family winery came to report that the master's maid had arrived. Only then did Tang Wan get up to take her leave.

After successfully reaching an agreement with the Yu family, Tang Wan felt a great sense of relief.

She boarded the carriage and said to Wang Dadao, "First, take Zhuxi back to the Rouge Shop, and then we'll go straight back to the house."

"Yes, Master," Wang Da immediately replied.

After dropping Zhuxi off at the shop, the carriage continued straight back to the residence in the prefectural capital.

Tang Wan got out of the car, said to Wang Da, "No need to bother me if there's nothing wrong," and went straight back to the main house, closing the door behind her.

With a slight thought, Tang Wan was already in the space in the next instant.

Instead of checking on the crop growth first, Tang Wan returned to the villa and contacted Er Ya directly from the sofa.

"Is Er Ya there?"

"Master! Er Ya is here!" Er Ya's voice rang out almost immediately, "You were looking for me? Are you going back to the capital?"

"The return date is set; we will depart in about twenty days," Tang Wan said succinctly.

Er Ya was delighted to hear this. She hadn't seen her master in a long time, and just as she smiled, Tang Wan said, "There is an important matter that you need to handle immediately."

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, Er Ya's tone immediately became extremely serious, and she replied directly, "Master, please give your orders!"

Tang Wan calmly instructed, "You shall set off immediately, leave the capital, and along the official road back to the northern desert, acquire properties in several important hub cities along the way."

Tang Wan paused for a moment, then continued, "There's only one requirement: the land must be large enough. The first choice is a manor with a large warehouse. If there aren't any suitable ones in the city, then we'll buy an estate in the suburbs. The amount of land is secondary; the key is that the estate has a large enough warehouse. Of course, we'll prioritize buying a manor with a warehouse."

"Yes, Master!" Er Ya replied readily.

After a moment's consideration, Tang Wan said, "This matter needs to be addressed as soon as possible. A reasonable price is fine. If you don't have enough silver notes, just come to me for more."

Before Er Ya set off, Tang Wan gave her five thousand taels of silver notes. Er Ya was escorting grain to the War King, and Tang Wan was thinking that if the poor family needed money for anything, it would be inconvenient if they couldn't come up with it. Now there should still be some left over, so she could buy two houses first, and if it wasn't enough, she could come back to Tang Wan for more. After all, Er Ya was extremely fast.

“Master! Er Ya has four thousand five hundred taels of silver notes on hand, which should be enough to buy a few houses. If it’s not enough, I will go to you for help!” Er Ya replied in a serious tone.

"These industries will be of paramount importance to me in the future, so you must handle them properly!" Tang Wan instructed anxiously.

"Understood, Master! I guarantee I'll complete the mission! I'll pack right away and we'll set off immediately!" Er Ya replied in a slightly louder voice.

Hearing Er Ya's excited voice, Tang Wan smiled slightly and replied, "Yes, be careful. Contact me anytime if there's any emergency."

“Yes, Master!” Er Ya replied.

Next, Er Ya informed Tang Wan of the news from the capital.

After that, Tang Wan cut off all contact.

After speaking with Er Ya, Tang Wan turned and left the villa, heading to the fields.

She checked the time and felt that she could cultivate more land, so she buried herself in the fields and used her spiritual power to continue cultivating new land.

Tang Wan only stopped after cultivating another five acres of new land, feeling slightly tired.

I originally planned to cultivate ten acres at once, but I may have consumed too much energy cultivating ten acres before, plus the hard work of visiting Yu's family, so I was already a bit tired after cultivating only five acres of new land.

Tang Wan didn't insist on going back to drink a cup of spiritual spring water. After resting for a while, she began to consider what to do next.

The idea of ​​having Er Ya buy a house on the way back came to me suddenly on the way out of the Yu family's house.

After all, establishing their own grain transport teams requires considering security issues.

If large-scale grain transport is involved, safety on the road becomes an issue. If one has their own house, at least they have a fixed place to stay, which is relatively better.

Sending someone to buy it myself would take time, so it's better to have Er Ya buy it in advance.

She also had another idea: if she could leave some sorghum behind when she passed through these big cities, it would be even better. This would save her a lot of travel expenses and make her safer.

Just as Tang Wan was planning her next move, at the War King's Mansion in the capital, the War King was thinking about the news Er Ya had just told him. He was quite happy, since he would be returning to the capital in twenty days, and would be there in two months at most. However, Wan'er hadn't said anything to him, which made him feel a little disappointed.

Moreover, with Er Ya gone, he hadn't received any news about Wan'er in the northern desert, which made him very unhappy!

Just as the War King's mood was fluctuating, the steward came to report on the progress of the courtyard's renovation. Upon hearing that it was a serious matter, the War King quickly composed himself. This courtyard was for the future use of him and Wan'er, so it had to be properly renovated.

The War King listened attentively to the steward's report, offered some of his own opinions, and discussed with the steward what would be a more reasonable solution. Just then, a palace eunuch hurriedly arrived at the War King's residence and summoned him to the palace for an audience.

The War King frowned slightly; summoning someone at this hour must mean something important.

He dared not delay, and after changing into his court robes, he hurried into the palace with the eunuch.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Study was more somber than usual.

The emperor, his face grim, threw a secret memorial onto the imperial desk, his voice clearly filled with anger: "You come and see this too! What a fool who doesn't know his own limits!"
