Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 178 Master Qi's Promotion

The people from the Feng family came and took Feng Dafu away. The officers and soldiers escorted Mrs. Pang away. Before leaving, she was still gesticulating to Tong Xiaowu, silently mouthing "Red envelope, must be Look at the red envelope..."

She was still thinking, when this matter is over and the situation is stable, she will deal with these screaming people. She lost her face in front of Tong Xiaowu today, and she must recover in the future.

Back in the store, Qingxiu handed the red envelope to Tong Xiaowu, "Girl, don't let her give it for nothing. Look at the chrysanthemum appreciation party held by their family, and they charge by head. Xuanyuan Kingdom's annual head tax is only Thirty Wen, and it costs ten taels of silver to enter the gate of his house, why doesn't she grab it!"

Tong Xiaowu laughed and shook the red envelope in her hand, "Qingxiu is right, if you don't take money from corrupt officials, you won't take it for nothing."

No matter why the sheriff's wife came here?It doesn't matter why she changed her temper and started cursing herself, because her family's official career is about to be cut off.

Waiting for the cloth merchants to make a fuss, An Luo and Master Qi stopped the merchants from Xijiang, and everything would be cleared up.

Because of the great success of the opening, the cloth shop has been very busy in the next few days. Not a single piece of clothing made by the second sister Tong Manyue was sold, and hundreds of pieces of new fabrics pulled from various villages were also ordered. Backpacks This new type of product has also sold a lot with the promotion of stores, wholesale and retail, and the sales of dolls have become extremely popular.

All of a sudden, all the new products of Yuebailibuzhuang were sold out.

The cotton on the market has been reduced in price because of the businessmen in Xijiang, and all cloth houses are trying to sell the backlog of cotton in their hands. Fortunately, the scam is to deliver the goods once a month. If it is delivered at the end of the year, all the cotton will be spun into coarse cloth. It's even worse.

The market price of coarse cloth has dropped from the original 26 cents per meter to [-] cents, and now it has dropped to [-] cents or [-] cents. Even so, except for the newly opened cloth shop, all the cloth shops that participated in the ordering of Xijiang coarse cloth backlog.

In Baili Town, the last batch of cotton was purchased and put into storage. Because the new fabrics were selling well, Tong Xiaowu installed a batch of spinning wheels and looms again. I bought new equipment so that I could enter a cooperative, weave new fabrics, and earn more money.

As for Tong Manyue's family, orders for clothes came one after another.

Originally, Tong Manyue didn't want to start a workshop, but she came and went again and again. Tong Xiaowu asked her to pay her wages several times. The people who made clothes with her made money, and everyone supported her. With Jialan's support, what she has done here is quite impressive.

The worst thing was Feng Dafu of Fengrui Cloth Zhuang, because he was the merchant who ordered the most cotton among the many cloth merchants.

Many merchants lost money, some lost money and owed debts, and some went bankrupt. These people had no way of living, so they teamed up and went to the capital to sue.

Because Lord Qi received An Luo's information in advance, he sent officers and soldiers to attack on both sides. In the northern part of Nanzhou, together with the people from the military department, they intercepted the businessman in Xijiang, and also intercepted ten carts of iron, ten carts of medicinal materials, and some private goods. salt etc.

Of course, these so-called Xijiang merchants have been in Linyue County for more than four months, so this batch of intercepted goods is just the tip of the iceberg.

However, because of this matter, Mr. Qi made great contributions, and after rectifying his previous achievements, he directly surpassed three levels and was promoted to the position of prefect of Buzhou.

And the sheriff and his wife were convicted of collaborating with the enemy and traitor because of corruption, jointly reported the matter, and because of the businessman in Xijiang, and sentenced the nine clans to death.

The most ridiculous thing is that when the sheriff was arrested, he was holding a birthday party for his mother at home. When officials from the capital broke into his house with officers and soldiers, the couple were laughing and counting money. It is heard that more than 7000 taels of silver were collected for this gift alone, and tens of thousands of taels of cash were found in the backyard of his house.

The silver was loaded into more than [-] carts and transported to the capital.

Pang County guarded the law, and the people of Linyue County were very happy. Some people even set off firecrackers in the street. Tong Xiaowu opened a porridge shop with the 1000 taels of silver note given by the guilty minister's wife to help the flood victims in Xicheng.

In just one month, the situation has changed, and Linyue County has changed. The new governor Yu is a young man, a new Jinshi in the spring.

Mrs. Qi took office, and Mrs. Tang made a special trip to Linyue County to visit Tong Xiaowu. On that day, Mrs. Yu's wife heard that Mrs. Tang was coming, so she came to Tong Xiaowu's shop early.

In the inner courtyard of Yuebailibu Village, Mrs. Tang held Tong Xiaowu's hand, with a look of emotion on her face:

"We went north this time. I don't know when and when we will meet you again. I used to be blind. I thought you would be harmed by that surname Pang, and I persuaded you to compliment her... Hey! Don't say it, I don't care. I have lived for more than 30 years, but my eyesight is not as good as that of a teenage girl like you."

"Ma'am, it's all over."

"Yeah! Anyway, thanks to you this time, you don't know what the fake Xijiang businessman is doing? How much impact does this incident have on our court? Originally, this achievement should belong to you and your wife, yes If you found out the conspiracy and reported it to us, if it wasn’t for you, how could we have robbed us of meritorious service? Alas! If Brother Yuchen would not allow us to speak in front of the Holy One, my family’s officials would definitely hold a certain official position for Brother Yuchen ..."

"Madam, don't do it. My husband has his reasons for doing this. We still have to do business, so you don't have to feel guilty." Once you become an official, you can't go into business. This is the law of Xuanyuan, and no one can violate it.

As for the recommendation matter, Tong Xiaowu knew that when Lord Qi came to her letter, Feng Yuchen showed her the letter and asked her opinion, asking her if she wanted to leave the business in the mall and let him do a job. Mrs. Guan, at that time she said that she would do everything with him, but he wrote back and refused.

"I know, I know, we respect you, my lord and I are where we are today because of you two, thank you very much..."

Mrs. Tang held Tong Xiaowu's hand, and she didn't shy away from it. Mrs. Sun on one side only knew that the former magistrate's wife had fawned on Tong Xiaowu, and this lady who was going to be the fourth-rank magistrate Mr. Qi, and Tong Xiaowu's The relationship is very good, but I don't know that Lord Qi's official position is actually related to the couple?

"Ma'am, we will meet again in the future!"

"Yeah, yes, yes!"

Mrs. Tang left and followed Mr. Qi to Buzhou to take office.

When everything came to an end, Tong Xiaowu finally had some free time, and Feng Yuchen dragged her out to play for the purpose of distracting her mind.

Before leaving, An Luo stood at the door with a helpless expression, "How many days?"
