Chapter 470

At last, there's a charter for the children's home. Yuxi doesn't have to keep an eye on it, so he has time to take care of other things.

Two days after getting the news, the Zhao family came to the door. Mrs. Tu, Zhao's second grandmother, introduced the rich woman beside her to Yuxi and said, "Yuxi, this is my sister-in-law." It's Fei, the eldest grandmother of the Zhao family.

Seeing Yuxi, Fei said with a smile: "I've been listening to Qingmei praising her for her extraordinary bearing. I wish I could see her elegant demeanor. Today, I've got my wish. " Half of them are compliments, and half of them are from the heart. Yucheng really can't bring up such a person. Even before the Xu family, compared with the people in front of them, they are much inferior.

Yuxi said with a smile: "you are too polite. Please sit down."

Fei told his family with a smile and said, "my husband's surname is Zhao Minghuan. Everyone calls me Huanda granny." In fact, in the Zhao family, people call her granny Zhao.

Yuxi smiles and asks, "can grandma Huan represent the Zhao family?" If it doesn't represent the Zhao family, she doesn't want to waste time.

Fei didn't expect Yuxi to be so direct, but she nodded and said, "I heard that madam wants to reduce the price of medicinal materials? Madam, the price of these medicinal materials is actually very fair. If we lower the price, we will have no profit at all. "

After hearing this, Yuxi smiles and says, "grandma Huan, I told grandma Zhao that I started to learn how to make medicated food with mammy when I was five years old. I know very well about the price of medicinal materials. Even if the price varies from region to region, it's not much different. " With these words, he looked at the second grandma with a smile: "didn't my sister tell this to grandma Huan?"

Yuxi says that the Zhao family is much better than the Xu family. They all make money. The Xu family wishes everyone in the world knew that they are rich. But the Zhao family, however, is silent and earns a lot of money every year. Because according to Yuxi's prediction, in fact, the annual earnings of the two families are not much different. But the Xu family is hated, and the Zhao family has a good reputation.

Although Zhao er's grandmother was straightforward, she was not a fool either. When she heard this, she said with regret, "I was too busy to forget." In fact, grandma Zhao had already said that.

Huanda granny said with a smile: "Mrs. Yun, it's not peaceful on this road, and it's hard to collect this medicine year by year, so the price is a little higher."

Seeing this, Yu Xi said, "as far as I know, the medicinal materials you supply to the army are two or three percent higher than those of the drug stores in the capital, and those scarce medicinal materials are nearly twice as high. It is true that it is not peaceful for Jiangnan, Sichuan and Guangxi to go to Yucheng, but the price should not be so expensive. As for the herbs that Huanda said are hard to collect year by year, as long as it's not natural or man-made disasters, where can we not get herbs? " In the case of natural and man-made disasters, it is normal for prices to rise sharply.

With these words, Yuxi let the side of the song mother to Huan granny long list. The list lists the prices of various medicinal materials in Beijing and Yucheng.

Huanda granny looked at it and her face turned green. In fact, although the Zhao family is in the business of medicinal materials, Huanda granny doesn't know about medicinal materials. It doesn't matter if you don't know the medicine, but the price difference is very obvious. After a while, Huanda looked up and asked Yuxi, "madam, Yucheng can't compare with Beijing. Jiangnan to the capital can take the waterway, not only easy to walk, time is fast. And Jiangnan and other places to Yucheng, not only the road is difficult to walk, the road is not peaceful

Yuxi said, "I didn't ask to say that the price of medicinal materials here is the same as that in Beijing. I just think it's too high." Yuxi's words are tantamount to saying that the price can be negotiated, but it's not dead at once.

Huanda granny asked, "what price is suitable for your wife?"

Yuxi still said: "common medicinal materials, on the basis of the original reduced by 10% to 20%. Precious and scarce medicinal materials will be reduced by 40% to 50% on the original basis. " In fact, precious and scarce medicinal materials are not available to ordinary soldiers. They are all used by middle and senior generals.

Huanda's face looked better, at least she didn't press the price too much. "It's hard to find precious and scarce medicinal materials, and the cost is also very high. If the price is reduced to 40% or 50%, there is no profit at all," she said

Yuxi thought about it for a while, but also gave way, said: "that on the basis of the original reduce 30% to 40% With that, he said with a pause, "you can't lower it any more." The problem is that after Yuxi was ready, he opened up a way by himself, so he didn't have to be controlled by others.

Huanda granny also knows that the counter-offer can only be within this range. But she just came to negotiate, but she couldn't make the version, but she said with a smile, "Mrs. Yun, I'll go back and ask my boss first, and then I'll give you an answer."

Yuxi said with a smile: "naturally."

Hwan grandmother left, but left a gift. Huanda's grandmother is more particular. She doesn't send gold, silver, jewelry and other things. Instead, she gives a small basket of lychees.

Looking at this small basket of litchi, Yuxi laughed. Back then, she used this to attack the Xu family! I didn't expect that Granny Huan would give her lychees, but I haven't eaten lychees since I came to Yucheng. I want to eat them. Now that it's here, no matter what grandma Huan means, it can't be returned. Moreover, it is just a basket of lychees: "put a plate out, the rest into the well."

Blue mother after seeing this said: "madam, this litchi fire is very heavy, should not eat more." There are many things you can't eat when you're nursing your baby. But it's not that litchi can't be eaten, it's just that you can't eat more. If you eat more, you will get angry.

A smile appeared on Yuxi's face and said, "I know." Not to mention now, even in the capital, she would not eat too much lychee. Of course, she also knows that mother LAN is for her good.

In the evening, when Yunqing comes back, Yuxi tells Yunqing about it: "I think ordinary medicinal materials can only be pressed by 10.5% at most, and those precious and scarce medicinal materials can be pressed by 30% at most." The Zhao family is different from the Wu family. Yunqing and the Zhao family are allies, so we must make concessions in this respect.

Cloud engine said: "this has been very good." If it were him, it would be business as usual. How could he keep down the price.

Yuxi smiles. Instead of talking about the medicinal materials, he talks about the children of ciyouyuan: "hurui, I have pasted more than 200 taels of silver into ciyouyuan in the past six days. If it's a month or two, I can hold it, but if it goes on like this, I can't hold it. " During this period of time, Yuxi asked people to make clothes for these children, and each of them had two sets of clothes. The children could not change a set of clothes. In addition, there are more than 20 children who are sick and need to take medicine, which will cost a lot. The sum of all the money costs more than two hundred taels of silver. On average, more than 40 taels of silver a day. If it is calculated according to one year, it will be more than 10000 Liang. If it's only for one year, it's going to hold. The problem is that some of these children are only two or three years old, so they can't be raised until they become adults, even if they think they can't afford it!

After hearing this, Yun Qing said bitterly, "the pension of the imperial court has not come down yet." If the pension comes down, you can give the money to the children's relatives and let them support them. But now that the pension has not come down, it is impossible for ordinary people to raise more children. After all, one more child is one more burden.

Yuxi's heart is not taste, but it is really a great burden. Of course, Yuxi didn't want to shirk the responsibility, but wanted to find a solution. He said at the moment: "write a compromise about these children. I don't believe that Prince Yu Xiangzhen will leave these children behind. If they really don't care, we'll find a solution. " The amount of pension is so huge that the imperial court can't come up with it. But these children, if the court does not help to solve, it will certainly make the soldiers in the border town cold hearted. Of course, the heart has been cold for most of the time. They fought hard, but they couldn't even get a pension when they died.

Yun Qing nodded and said, "OK, I'll ask Mr. Xia to help draft a discount tomorrow." Clerical work has now been handed over to Mr. Xia and Mr. Chen.

Yuxi thought for a moment, said: "let Mr. Xia write some sensational." It's not sensational, and it's impossible for those people in high positions to know how hard these children are living, and how unworthy the dead soldiers are.

Yun Qing was silent for a moment, and said: "Yuxi, Qin Zhao and Xu family sell grain outside the pass. I suspect that the marshal always knew about it, and even participated in it."

Yuxi was shocked: "can't you?" Marshal Qin, that is a respected old man. How could he do such a thing.

Yun Qing said with a wry smile: "even if the marshal participates in it, it is estimated that he is forced to do so." Only when he really sat in this position did he know how bad the situation in Yucheng was. The amount of money allocated each year is only a little, which is not enough. If you don't have enough money, you can't be hungry and cold! Therefore, we have to make our own money.

After hearing this, Yuxi didn't understand. Cloud engine is not doubting, but affirming. But Yuxi thinks that even if Marshal Qin really participates in it, marshal Qin is totally different from the Xu family. Xu family is for self-interest, and marshal Qin is for Yucheng. Marshal Qin really devoted himself to Yucheng. Can be forced to this, it is really sad to say: "the emperor is fatuous, the court is incompetent." The emperor only knew how to eat, drink and enjoy himself, and the government was corrupt.

Cloud engine wry smile way: "if don't think of a way, this winter is not good." Before, he had a lot of opinions about Qin Zhao, but he didn't know until he took over that it took a lot of effort for Qin Zhao to make 100000 soldiers spend the winter safely.

Yu Xi was surprised and asked, "don't you want to sell food and grass to those northern captives? Yun Qing, this is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. "

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "don't worry, you won't use this prescription any more. However, we have to find a way to make more money. " Otherwise, this winter will be sad. Thanks to the Spring Festival, the northern captives were greatly hurt. Even after the summer, the northern captives would not be on a large scale, and they would have time to rest.

Yuxi thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of any business that could make a lot of money. Simply don't want to, toward the cloud engine said: "no matter how urgent, in this day, sleep first!" Cloud engine this period of time also thin a lot, even if Yuxi has been to cloud engine tonic, or thin down. Both husband and wife have lost a lot of weight during this period.

Yun Qing nodded and said, "well, sleep!"
