If two hundred thousand taels of Snowflake Silver were to be given to the commoners, who knows how much exorbitant taxes they would have to draw? This was something that Li Baoxiao did not want to see at all. Previously, he did not act as an official and did not try to move forward. This was because he was displeased with the twists and turns in the government. Now that the hat was on his head, he couldn't easily take it off no matter what. Furthermore, it was a time of "change of dynasty". If he made the wrong move in the future, the Li family's future might be ruined.

Therefore, these two hundred thousand silver taels became proof of Li Baoxiao's capabilities. He wanted to ensure that his ability would be able to accomplish this, but he also wanted to let the imperial court, or in other words, let some people see how difficult it was for him, and also let others see his ability. Therefore, using a special method to raise money had become a necessary choice for him.

Therefore, it was just as Li Baoshan said. His big brother wanted to talk to Su Xinyu about raising money.

Su Xinyu had already thought about it while she was outside, but to be honest, two hundred thousand silver was an astronomical amount to her right now. If it was tens of thousands of silver taels, he didn't think that it was a big problem. "However, with her current ability to come into contact with two hundred thousand taels of silver, the difficulty is too great." "Big brother, what do you mean?"

Li Baoxiao sighed: "This matter is my responsibility, I shouldn't have let my brother worry about it too much. However, doing business is not something that a foolish brother can do. Although he was still young, he had a clear mind. "Therefore, I hope that you can help me think of a good way to earn two hundred thousand silver taels so that I can save the suffering of the citizens of Haian County."

Su Xinyu really had a headache. After all, no matter how capable he was, he was still only eleven or twelve years old. "Giving up such a big matter to someone like me to think about, is Lord Li a joke or a big heart?" Brother. It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that this favor is too big.

Li Baoxiao sighed: "I understand this point. This two hundred thousand taels couldn't all be raised by business. My Li family also has some businesses, so we can make up for it with some income. However, we can still take out forty to fifty thousand silver taels, but we can't do anything about it. After all, I can't let my family go bankrupt just because I became an official. What's more, this job came from my house this year, I can't stay here every year for the rest of the year. This was not a solution. It's not that I want my younger brother to shoulder this burden, it's just that I believe that my younger brother is intelligent and can give my younger brother a hand. "

"If it's a supporting move, Su Xinyu would be much more relaxed." Since big brother said this, little brother should not miss this. However, two hundred thousand taels is a number my little brother has never thought of. You know that. I only have my ancestral cooking skills. Even I couldn't make that much money with this cooking skill. However, when it came to profiteering, it was naturally the most prestigious families in the capital that could take it out. And they often want peace, good fortune, health and longevity the most. Elder Brother, why don't you think about it in this regard? "

Li Baoxiao nodded his head, "What little brother said makes a lot of sense. This is indeed the most energy-saving direction. "

Li Family's Second Young Master Li Baoping asked, "Brother Su, what do you think about this idea of running away?"

Su Xinyu looked at him. Second Brother thought that was a good idea. In fact, the ginseng, deer antler, mink fur, and pearls from the north were all rare treasures from the sea, and although they were all thick, they still earned a lot. Furthermore, there were also other miscellaneous goods on the road, so the difference between them should be quite high. For example, from my hometown to here, many simple goods have a lot of difference, not to mention these. "

Li Baoping asked again, "Brother Su, you are familiar with the shopkeeper of Four Seas Grocery Shop, could you introduce him to us?"

Su Xinyu's brows twitched, she roughly understood the Li Family's true meaning. Although she didn't know what Zhang Ziyi meant, but it was fine for her to introduce him. Naturally, this was not a problem. Otherwise... I will go see Uncle Zhang now. "

Third Young Master Li Bao An smiled and said: "Little brother, you don't need to take another step. Manager Zhang has already reached the front yard."

Su Xinyu very naturally made introductions between the two families. Seeing Zhang Ziyi's smile, Su Xinyu knew that he was satisfied. And in a sense, Zhang Ziyi represented Wen Ling's intentions. Therefore, Su Xinyu felt a lot more relaxed in her heart.

The Li Family's meal wasn't bad. It was just that when the Li Family was listening to the show in the rear courtyard. Su Wenlan's side was not too happy.

Although there were men in the Li family's rear courtyard, most of them were women. Most of the men, on the other hand, were 'communicating' with the Prefect, who had just taken up his post. Thus, most of the men were women, with the exception of those young masters who didn't ask about the affairs of the family.

The more women there were, the more one would want to compete. However, what they competed in here wasn't only the hairpin rings, but also the status of each clan. Other than the jewellery on Su Wenlan's body that was eye-catching, her status was undoubtedly the lowest. And yet, she had the most outstanding appearance. After all, her age was already Fang Hua, and adding on the Spirit Spring and food that had been in space for such a long time, it made her feel extremely satisfied. And now, without worrying about family life, it was easy and enjoyable. She was in a good mood after eating and drinking. Her appearance naturally became more outstanding.

And this kind of person, when dressed in plain clothes, would not only not appear dull to others, but would instead be elegant and refined. This was a temperament that many noble young ladies could not learn even if they wanted to. After all, a person's character decided everything. In the end, Su Wenlan understood more about the hardships of the human world than those madams and mistresses who stayed in the backyard of the mansion, and her mentality naturally had a great difference as well. The mature charm of that temperament could not be compared with others.

But such a fine man was of low birth, and a widow. This made many jealous people feel disdain in their hearts. However, there were some people who were disdainful of the fact that they only kept it in their hearts and didn't show it on the surface. However, some people did not have much self-restraint. Especially when she saw that Su Wenlan was sitting alone and did not interact much with other people, she could tell that she did not have any backers. Naturally, there were people who were unbalanced and ridiculed in the past.

"This person knows his place. [What kind of place is this? I don't know what kind of person I am.] How could he still have the face to show his face to the Li Residence? Do you really think that anyone can come here? "

"Aiyo." You said that. Some rural women didn't understand the rules. Perhaps Lord Li's family only invited her son to make a cake, so they decided to let her come over to watch a play. "

"Tsk." He was just a small villager who came from a small village. But he had to slap his face to make it look fat. I think that jade is fake too, right? "

Although these women spoke so softly, it was not to the extent that Su Wenlan could not hear them. Su Wenlan didn't feel good after hearing it. Even back then when she was still at the Zhou Family, she had been insulted and scolded by the Madam Wang and the Wu family. But who were these people now? What right did she have to scold him? The anger in Su Wenlan's heart had already started to rise. She was timid and afraid, but that didn't mean she could accept being insulted in front of an outsider.

But Zhang An Zhi was Su Fu's wife who stopped her. " Madame, don't be angry yet. If we quarrel first, we will be the ones to lose face. There were many ways to vent one's anger, and it was not necessary to use the most direct way of arguing. "Please wait a moment, I will go and find out the details of those people. I will be right back."

After Aunt Zhang left, Su Mei quietly went over to Su Wenlan's side and whispered in her ear, "Madam, why don't I go and tell Fourth Young Madam?"

Su Wenlan shook her head: "No need. Wait till Aunt Zhang comes back. "

Zhang An Zhi asked around to find out who those few people were fake, but in reality, she had gone to find Su Xinyu. It wasn't that she couldn't solve the problem herself, but she needed to know the young master's meaning. After all, this was the relationship between the Young Master and the Li family.

Su Xinyu heard from Aunt Zhang. She immediately frowned. At this time, the older brother, Fourth Brother, and Zhang Ziyi were also together. After Su Xinyu heard the voice of the woman from Su Family, her brows knitted tightly. "The first to speak is Great Master Li." Yu, is there any trouble? "

Su Xinyu sighed: "Brothers. "My mother is not feeling well, so I will take my mother back first."

What kind of person was Li Baoxiao? "One could tell that it was an excuse." Since he was not feeling well, he could just go to the house and ask him to see his aunt directly. "Going back is also troublesome."

Su Xinyu raised her brows, "There's no need for that. It's not a big deal. It's better to go back. "

Li San Ye, who had the most heart, Li Bao An also saw through it. But he did not ask Su Xinyu, but rather asked Zhang An Zhi. This mother, what's wrong with your wife? "It's better not to delay your illness."

Zhang An Zhi was born to serve the madame. How could he not know what the young master was doing? "So she pretended to be tongue-tied." If your heart isn't comfortable, how can your husband look favorably at you? "

Su Xinyu took the chance and frowned: "Aunt Zhang! Don't say too much! "

The way Li Baoshan treated his benefactor. "Therefore, when he heard this, he immediately understood." Looks like someone is too bold and dares to be rude to our Li family's honored guest. Aunt Zhang, take me there. I would like to see who has that much of a reputation! "

Li Baoping shook his head, "Fourth Bro, don't be so impulsive. Most of those who could speak nonsense in front of their aunts were mostly women. This matter is more appropriate for sister-in-law to go. "

Li Baoxiao nodded, "What Brother said is extremely true. It was our fault that our aunt was bullied in the Li family. Someone, get the Eldest Young Mistress to come here. Tell her that we have something to discuss with her! "

Su Xinyu had the same idea anyway. "But she can't show it." Four elder brothers, this, this is not appropriate. "We were originally small business people, if only one of us was a distinguished person …"

Zhang Ziyi opened his mouth this time: "What are you saying! Even if it was a small family, there was no reason for them to be casually bullied. What kind of family was the Li Family? "Do you still fear those who are rushing over to curry favor with us?"

When these words were spoken, it didn't sound like words of praise to the Li family members. If the Lee family did not take care of this matter today, it would be embarrassing. At this moment, the people of the Li Family were even more certain that Su Family was a very special existence to the master above. Even if they did not have the favor given to them by the Su Family, the four of them had to take care of his and not offend his. Uncle Zhang was right. Our Li family doesn't cause trouble, but we're absolutely not afraid of trouble. His own aunt had been bullied at home. "If we don't speak properly, then our Li Family will be trampled on on on the head by others in the future!"
