Thunder was rolling outside, and soon it started to rain.

The Supreme Emperor's scream was buried in the thunder and rain, so it didn't seem so sudden, but he stood up almost immediately, and the movement was so big that it was impossible to ignore it.

This move shocked the village chief and his family. They looked at him nervously and asked cautiously: "What, what, is it too expensive?"

"Well, actually it can be lower..."

The Supreme Emperor immediately raised his hand to stop him from speaking. He rolled his eyes in anger and almost fainted out of breath.

The village chief did not dare to speak, not knowing what he said wrongly, and looked at Lu Baichuan for help.

Lu Baichuan also didn’t expect that they were selling it so cheaply. When he saw the village chief explaining it patiently, “Eunuch Chang thinks that you are selling it too cheaply. He may have been cheated.”

"Ah? But the shopkeeper said that he had already given us the highest price. We thought that it was something that grew in the mountains anyway, so we could just pick it back and fry it, and it wouldn't cost us anything. It’s not bad to be able to sell it for ten cents per pound..."

Everyone:...

They all think so, so it’s no wonder they were cheated.

Over there, the Supreme Emperor had just taken a breath and almost fainted again when he heard these words.

He waved his hand and said: "Sell me whatever you have for five taels of silver per pound! Is there anyone else in your village who has it?"

The village chief said I was so frightened by his heroic look that I fainted. I didn't care about other reactions. I just nodded: "Yes! Yes!"

Oh my God, that's five taels of silver! Their whole family has been working hard for a whole year, but they can't make so much money!

I didn’t expect that this wild tea could be sold for so much money!

“Many families in the village have it, and I taught them how to fry tea. I learned some basics from my grandfather when I was a child, and after I discovered that there were wild tea trees in the mountains, I taught them to them!”

The implication is that there are a lot of tea leaves, do you really want them all?

When the Supreme Emperor heard this, he was even more happy. He waved his hand and said, "I want them all! When the rain stops, you go and call everyone who has tea, count how much they have, and I will pay directly. ."

The village chief was so happy that he almost fainted, but he still kept his sense and asked: "My lord, is this tea really so valuable? Do you really want to spend so much money? But Don't waste money just to help us..."

The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and said: "Your tea is worth this price. From now on, I will want your goods every year. As long as you do it well, I can still do it.I'll increase the price for you, and I'll give you a token later. Just send it to your local government office, and the people there will take care of the matter. "

"This, this, this..."

The village chief was so happy that he was incoherent and could not speak clearly.

The Supreme Emperor ignored him, and He said to Mrs. Liu: "Please remember it for me and tell me to go to the county government office later. ”

　“Okay. "

Mrs. Liu smiled and nodded, thinking that the Emperor did a good job. She felt that this was the meaning of going out for fun.

The two sons of the village chief's family were also excited. I had to pinch myself hard, for fear that I was dreaming. The other female relatives who were hiding outside the door and did not dare to come in also had tears in their eyes. They really met a noble person today!

I know They traveled hard, and the village chief and his family did not stay long. After preparing the room, they went to inform other people in the village to prepare tea. Soon there were only three of them left in the room.

The Emperor looked at Lu Bai Chuan asked: "Do you think this tea can make money? "

Lu Baichuan was a little surprised. He thought he would buy it back as a reward to others, but he didn't expect that he wanted to do business.

"Do you want to do business? "

The Supreme Emperor was vague: "Absolutely. "

Lu Baichuan thought about it seriously and said: "This tea is really good. Many people will like it if it is sold. Only people in the village know how to make it. It is relatively scarce and the price can easily be increased. "

"Okay, okay, as long as you can make money. ”

The Emperor was very satisfied. Afterwards, Lu Baichuan returned to his room and rested for a while. After the rain stopped, it was already dark, and torches were lit in the yard, making the surrounding area very bright.

A few people had a quick bite, and the villagers who had been notified came over one after another. Two or three people from a family came, all bringing tea leaves that they had not yet sold.

The Supreme Emperor looked at it and found that each household didn’t actually have much. It was estimated that it only weighed two to three kilograms. Fortunately, there were many families in the village who had tea, and the total could add up to a big bag.

The Supreme Emperor I checked it myself and found that there are still some differences in the tea made by each house, but it is not very big. The villagers protect it very well to avoid the fragrance of the tea being lost. They wrap it with oil paper inside and put it in a cloth bag outside. The quality is very good. There was no resurgence.

The Supreme Emperor asked the village chief to tell the villagers what he had said before to ensure that every villager could understand what was going on.

The villagers were very excited. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn’t know what to say.

It turns out that pie really does fall from the sky!

After confirming that the goods were correct, the old emperor signed a contract with the villagers. Each household had a copy, and the old emperor kept a separate copy. The contract stated that the quality of the goods must be guaranteed. Once someone was found to have mixed up the residual If there are defective products, the collective will no longer cooperate and everyone will supervise each other.

In addition, the money is withdrawn directly from the Yamen. Tomorrow morning someone will go to the Yamen to say hello. If the Yamen dares to default on the money, they can go to the Anlanfang Tea House in Fucheng to deliver the letter, and someone will be there for them. Justice.

Anlanfang is the intelligence bureau under Qianfan Pavilion. It is distributed in various cities. The old emperor thought that sending someone to say hello tomorrow would be an advantage to Mingze. He would write later Write a letter to the emperor to help him repay the favor.

What the common people were most afraid of was defaulting on their money, but they didn’t expect this noble man to be so straightforward and even think of a way out for them.

"Thank you, noble sir!"

The villagers were about to kneel down immediately, but the Emperor hurriedly stopped him: "You don't have to be so polite. It just rained and the ground was full of mud. Just don’t catch the wind and cold.”

“Thank you, noble sir!”

“Your noble man has come, it’s true that the Bodhisattva is paying attention to our Zhangjia Village! The Bodhisattva must have appeared. Another day When I get free, I must go and say goodbye!"

"That's right, I'm going too! We can be born and raised in Beiyan, what an honor it is! Since the natural disaster that year, the court has only They charge us 20% of the tax, and now they send noble people to help us. This life is really beyond our wildest dreams!"

"Yes, yes..."

Villagers They sighed excitedly, but the Supreme Emperor and Lu Baichuan frowned instantly when they heard this. Something seemed wrong.

"Fellow, you just said, what percentage of the tax does the court charge?"

The Supreme Emperor couldn't help but asked again. The fellow's heart skipped a beat, it couldn't be the court. There is no such order, but their local officials changed it privately, right?

Then by saying this, wouldn’t he be hurting their officials?

It's over, it's over...

But in front of the noble, he didn't dare to lie. After all, the noble bought their tea at a high price.
