Rebirth of the little landlady

Chapter 141 Where Does the Money Come From?
"Where did you get so much food?" Su Qiusheng asked in amazement, "Did the Ni family give it to you? Fatty Ni is already so capable now?" He was a little annoyed.

Yuan Bao shook his head, "Who gave it, I promised others, I can't say it, but it's not Ni Xiaopang, so don't mention it in front of him, it's our family's secret, in order to fool him, I even begged him to buy food at a high price, but the Ni family gave me some food for free, so no matter what, we didn't suffer!"

Su Qiusheng was very happy, his eyes were shining brightly, "Then why don't we sell the grain directly!"

"No!" Su Chunsheng and Yuan Bao objected in unison.

Su Qiusheng came to his senses, "Yeah, it's too dangerous, it's easy to cause trouble, and we don't know how much they will give us."

Su Chunsheng picked up a gold ingot and asked, "Yuanbao, when will you pay for the cheap food you bought? It's almost the end of the new year." Even if the food is cheap, it still needs to be bought with silver. The Sujia Village was built by Su Chunsheng himself. Although he doesn’t care about the accounts and expenses, he knows it well. The establishment of the entire village, including paying land rent, buying land and building their own courtyard, has cost more than 8000 yuan so far. Two, if it is half, it will cost nearly ten thousand taels, no matter how Yuan Bao should have so much silver left on hand.

Of course, the cost of copying the food is in the supernatural ability, and the cost cannot be found in reality, so I knew that Su Chunsheng was not so easy to fool, so Yuan Bao sent the prepared answer, "I owe all the money, I plan to use it Pay the bill with the silver that is being returned.”

Because there is a surplus of manpower, and it is very profitable to exchange food for money, Yuan Bao encouraged Lizheng to build a lot of shared facilities:
Two solid stone bridges that can drive three carriages side by side span the small river between Sujia Village and Xiejiao Village. No matter how the water rises, there is no problem. It can be used for two to three hundred years. It is convenient to travel between the two villages. , just like a village;
The wide road leading from Sujia Village to the town shortens the journey by ox cart by half. If you take a horse cart, it won't even take you an hour;
There is also a road leading to another village in the direction of the county seat. If it weren't for the road in that village, Yuan Bao could have someone repair the road all the way to the county seat. Now it takes two hours to take a horse-drawn carriage from Sujia Village to the county seat. It’s useless, it’s easy to go back and forth in one day;

In addition, because Sujia Village is a newly built village, the planning is quite good. There are all stone roads in the village, all of which can be passed by cars and horses, and no matter how heavy the rain or snow falls, there is no mud in the slightest;
The tenants not only have the land rent from ingots, but also can work as laborers to earn food. They have ample money, so the few houses are all made of bricks and tiles, and they are still being built rapidly against the wind and snow. Trying to get myself a decent home before New Years...

The prosperity of Sujia Village can be seen by anyone with eyes now. No one can estimate what it will develop into in the future. Li Zheng is very happy. This is all his political achievements. It's just that he comes around whenever he has something to do, and all kinds of compliments and ulterior benefits often make Li Zheng smile and narrow his eyes.

Generally speaking, the money for public facilities has several sources, one is the appropriation of the government, the other is the local poll tax, which is taken from the people and used by the people, and the other is the donation of the rich.

Yuan Bao, the newly-emerged rich man, was quite generous in his actions. He not only paid all the project funds in advance, but also took the initiative to bear a quarter of it. The remaining three quarters were owed by Li Zheng to Yuan Bao. Li Zheng Commitment to pay off gradually in the next two years.

The earning is double the earning, and the expenditure is only a quarter. The slight surplus mentioned by Yuan Bao refers to these. You must know that her "slight surplus" refers to the land rent she paid to the tenants. I have to say, The income from Yuan Bao's "supernatural power business" was astonishing, which made her very happy.

Not only that, but in return, Lizheng named the small river Sujia River, and the two bridges were called Sujia South Bridge and Sujia North Bridge, and a stone tablet was erected at the head of the bridge, indicating that the bridge was built with the funds of the Su family. It is the glory of the Su family for a hundred years.

In addition to reputation, there are also specific benefits. Lizheng exempted the entire Su family from poll tax for ten years. You must know that slaves with death contracts also have to pay poll tax, and it is all borne by the master.

Well, in fact, there is not much silver, Yuan Bao smiled a little embarrassedly.

Su Qiusheng wanted to drag the ingot box to him, but the full box was quite heavy, so he didn't pull it, so he had to stand up, walk to the box, and put the gold and silver ingots inside. Take it out, "That is to say, all the silver is now earned by ingots. How much is it?"

"Twenty-five thousand taels!" Yuan Bao and Su Chunsheng replied at the same time. They both took care of the family's money at the same time, so they both knew it very well.

"My God, there are quite a few..." Su Qiusheng smiled contentedly.

Yuan Bao said triumphantly, "I was afraid that you didn't know how much money you had at home, so I brought you here to settle accounts. If you need anything, just say it!" The relationship of trusting and relying on each other has not changed at all, and when there is joy, we must share it together.

"Yuanbao," Su Chunsheng was still playing with the gold ingot, "Have you ever calculated how much silver the fifth young master gave you during the two years you have been in the Ni Mansion?"

Yuan Bao showed embarrassment, but still told the truth, "Except for things, there are about 5000 taels of silver in cash!" Not knowing that he was shocked, this is indeed an astonishing number.

The smile on Su Qiusheng's face disappeared, he pointed to the box and asked, "In other words, more than half of it was rewarded by him, where did he get so much money, I remember that he didn't even have more than a dozen taels of silver! "

Yuan Bao felt better, "That's right, I earned all this money for him!"

But then Su Chunsheng added another sentence, "That is to say, the fifth young master has actually rewarded you with everything he has in the past two years!" It was a declarative sentence, not a question sentence.

Yuan Bao had a headache, and he didn't know why Su Chunsheng always grasped this point, "So what? I helped him, and I never shorted his flowers!"

"What?" This time it was Su Qiusheng who spoke, "You didn't short his money, Yuan Bao, who is the master of the two of you?" This was putting the cart before the horse, he had never heard such a strange argument. .
