Lu Jiao didn't know what shopkeeper Li was thinking, she looked at shopkeeper Li in a good mood and said.

"Your boss is a bit interesting."

Shopkeeper Li chuckled.

The carriage went straight to Baohe Hall, where Zhao Lingfeng had already been waiting with Qi Lei.

Qi Lei took the lead to salute Lu Jiao respectfully: "Master is here."

Lu Jiao nodded, and Zhao Lingfeng who was on the side smiled lightly and said, "Miss Lu is really hard to please."

Lu Jiao ignored his teasing, and asked Zhao Lingfeng with great interest: "I heard from Shopkeeper Li that you asked me to share the money?"

I don't know how much to share with her. She planned to buy medicine fields before, but found that five thousand taels of silver can't buy many medicine fields. I didn't expect Zhao Lingfeng to send her money here, but I don't know how much this guy can give her. money.

Lu Jiao looked at Zhao Lingfeng, Zhao Lingfeng squinted at Qi Lei, Qi Lei wanted to raise his hand to cover his eyes, Zhao Lingfeng made a bet with him earlier, his master must be very happy when he heard about the penny, Qi Lei even described it for Lu Jiao, no As for.

Unexpectedly, the effort will be exposed after a while.

Zhao Lingfeng smiled lightly and took the bill from the side of the table and handed it to Lu Jiao. Lu Jiao took it with her hand. The list is very clear, Lu Jiao looked carefully and knew that the bill was not fake.

Now that the weather is near the end of July, it is quite good for ice cubes to sell for such a price. It also shows that Zhao Lingfeng, the third son of the Yongning Houfu, is very capable and not just for nothing.

Lu Jiao couldn't help but smiled with satisfaction, "That's right, Mr. Zhao's family is really good for business. It seems that I don't have to worry about cooperating with you."

As soon as Lu Jiao said, Zhao Lingfeng felt relieved. In fact, he knew that although the two parties had drawn up a contract before, if Lu Jiao really wanted to go back, there must be a way, so selling ice before was the sincerity he showed her.

Hearing what Lu Jiao said now meant that his guess was correct. Lu Jiao was just testing him with the ice-making matter, and now it was the cooperation between the two of them.

Thinking about it, Zhao Lingfeng relaxed. He took out a pile of banknotes from the side of the table and handed them to Lu Jiao, "This ice making has earned a total of 60,000 taels, of course there is still a little more, but even though it is almost the end of July, I can earn a little more in the later stage, so I don’t get any fraction, here, there are 18,500 taels.”

"Eighteen thousand taels is the money for the ice-making, and five hundred taels is the consultation fee for saving the county magistrate's daughter-in-law and mother. The Hu family sent a total of five hundred taels before. I don't want to share it with Baohetang. For you."

Lu Jiao's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth were full of smiles. She raised her hand and patted the bank notes on the table, and said heartily, "Master Zhao's work is bright, I believe we will have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

The reason why Zhao Lingfeng didn't haggle over with Lu Jiao was precisely because Lu Jiao's demonstrated ability convinced him.

He knew that capable people had to be wooed instead of being short-sighted about those small profits.

Zhao Lingfeng listened to Lu Jiao's words, and his noble and handsome eyebrows were covered with a flying look.

"It's good that Mrs. Lu is happy."

Lu Jiao reached out and took the banknotes on one side and counted them, without the embarrassment of counting the banknotes in front of others.

Both Zhao Lingfeng and Qi Lei are used to seeing it, and their expressions are as usual.

Zhao Lingfeng gave Qi Lei 10% of the silver that belonged to Qi Lei.

"this is yours."

Qi Lei didn't expect to have so much money all of a sudden, he didn't know what to do for a moment, he raised his hand and pushed his own 6,000 taels to Lu Jiao: "Master, I'll give you this."

Since the master likes money, he will give the money to the master.

Lu Jiao immediately rolled her eyes at Qi Lei: "Holding the money makes your hands itchy?"

What kind of fool is this, he doesn't know how to ask for money.

Seeing that Lu Jiao didn't accept it, Qi Lei turned his head to look at Zhao Lingfeng again. Both he and Zhao Lingfeng worked for the fifth son, so it seemed inappropriate to take six thousand taels of silver in private.

Qi Lei thoughtfully looked at Zhao Lingfeng and said: "From now on, 10% of my share will be deducted from the master's share, and 10% will be enough."

What he meant was that he got 10%, deducted 30% from Lu Jiao, and got 10% from the rest.

Like today's 60,000 taels of silver note, after deducting Lu Jiao's 18,000 taels, he will get 10% of the remaining 42,000 taels, which is 4,200 taels.

Qi Lei took out 4,200 taels from it, Zhao Lingfeng didn't say anything, while Lu Jiao looked like a fool who couldn't be taught: "You are such a fool, you don't think you have too much money."

But this guy has such a temper, she is too lazy to say more.

Lu Jiao put away the money, looked at Zhao Lingfeng and Qi Lei and said, "I want to buy medicinal materials grown in fields, do you know where there are good fields in Qinghe County?"

Zhao Lingfeng knew more about this than Qi Lei. He looked at Lu Jiao and asked with concern: "Do you want to buy the fields in the town or near the county?"

After Zhao Lingfeng finished speaking, without waiting for Lu Jiao to speak, he analyzed: "The fertile land near Qili Town is about seven or eight taels per mu, and the countryside is cheaper, only four or five taels per mu, but near the county seat of Qinghe County, one mu of land needs at least fifteen taels .”

"However, I suggest you buy good farmland near the county seat. First of all, the transportation is convenient. In the future, our three major workshops will also be opened outside the county seat. It will be much more convenient for your farm to be close to the three major workshops."

Lu Jiao agreed after thinking about it. It is much more convenient to build the three major workshops in the county than in a small town. Qinghe County not only has smooth roads, but also good water transportation. The things made by the three major workshops must be transported to all directions, so the roads Very important.

Since the workshop is built in the county seat, it is really convenient for her to buy fields near the county seat.

Lu Jiao looked at Zhao Lingfeng thoughtfully and said, "Then please Mr. Zhao's family to keep an eye on it for me. I'll buy a thousand acres of fertile land to grow medicinal materials first."

Zhao Lingfeng nodded: "Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you, and if there is, I'll let you know."

"OK."

After talking about buying the fields, he quickly talked about the construction of the three major workshops. Zhao Lingfeng talked about his initial ideas and asked Lu Jiao if there was any modification.

Zhao Lingfeng meant to buy 500 acres of land to prepare for the three major workshops, and Lu Jiao immediately added it to 1,000 acres. She meant to prevent opening other workshops later, so the place should be bigger.

When Zhao Lingfeng heard her words, he immediately agreed and said that he would start preparing for this matter soon. Lu Jiao said that she would go back to draw the oil press and the drawings of the workshop, and send them to Zhao Lingfeng as soon as possible.

After the matter was discussed, Lu Jiao got up and was about to leave. Zhao Lingfeng immediately handed Lu Jiao the contract he had registered with the county government: "This is the contract I registered with the county government. Take it away."

Lu Jiao immediately took it over with respect. From now on, it will be her property too. She looked down, and Zhao Lingfeng actually named the three major workshops. It's called Mingren Pharmacy.
