Seeing Xiao Yao, Zhao Ruiyun forcibly suppressed the troubles in his heart, and said with a smile: "My sister is in a hurry to find me?"
” In order not to hurt Zhao Ruiyun's face, Xiao Yao turned a corner and said, "I want to discuss with you about donating money to the imperial court for disaster relief."
The emperor has given me so many granges, I want to sell some of the grain in the grange to donate to the imperial court, and the wheat will be harvested in a few days, and these wheat are sown by the seeds I brought, which are longer than the ears of wheat you have here, and the wheat grains are large, and the average yield per mu is about 900 catties, which is more than twice the yield per mu of your best.
There are also good rice varieties that I have brought, and the yield per mu is more than two or three times that of yours.
I want you to tell the emperor to find ten ministers of high moral standing and who have a lot of land at home to come to my manor and see how much my wheat seed is worth a catty, I myself want to sell it for five hundred taels of silver a catty, I am afraid that I will lose money, so I ask them to give a staff officer.
Hearing this price, Zhao Ruiyun was directly dumbfounded, he thought he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but ask: "My sister said it wrong?"
Where is a pound of wheat seed worth five hundred taels of silver?
The high ones are just outrageous. ” Xiao Yao knew that he was difficult to accept, and he didn't explain much, but said: "Second brother heard it right, it's five hundred taels of silver a catty, my sister sells it at such a high price, I know that you and the emperor have been very busy recently, you tell the emperor that if he helps me handle this matter, I will definitely find a way to raise 500,000 taels of silver for him for disaster relief!"
If it weren't for the purpose of donating money to the disaster area, I would still be reluctant to sell my good seeds, which are seeds that you Dawu Dynasty can't buy with any amount of money.
I only sell 1,000 catties of wheat or rice seeds, and I don't sell any more than a catty. ” "My sister is not joking, is it?
Do you know how much silver is the price of fine grain now?
It is because of the disaster in the south, and now the price of grain has risen sharply and is only five taels of silver and one stone, (Lan Yan explained: The original price of fine grain was only one tael of silver and one stone.)
One stone is almost a hundred catties now, which is thirty wen a catty) How dare you ask for five hundred taels of silver a catty?
Even if it's a golden seed, no one buys it?
” "Second brother, don't worry, I have my own way to make them willing to buy, you just go and report to the emperor, the mountain people have their own clever plans."
Xiao Yao said half-jokingly Zhao Ruiyun left in confusion, and in less than an hour, the emperor actually wore civilian clothes and rode a horse with Zhao Ruiyun to Xiao Yao's residence.
Xiao Yao wants this result, the emperor is at a loss at this time, and offering advice at this time is definitely a send-off, she wants Zhao Ruiyang to owe her a big favor, so that he will be embarrassed to force her emotionally.
The three of them discussed secretly for an hour behind closed doors, and the expressions on the faces of the two brothers of the Zhao family when they left were obviously much more relaxed.
Next, Xiao Yao was very busy in the capital for two days, and the restaurant was finally decorated.
She invited the literati and wealthy businessmen in the capital to attend the opening ceremony, because she did not want others to say that she was relying on the name of the princess to let the officials cheer on her, so she did not invite any officials and their families.
Of course, except for Zhao Ruiyun, he came to help enthusiastically. and the emperor's eldest brother did not break his promise, and took time out of his busy schedule to congratulate Xiao Yao's restaurant on its opening, and personally wrote a plaque to send it away.
It's just that when the emperor who was lightly dressed and simple came, he was recognized by a literati, which caused a sensation in the entire capital for a while, and many officials who were good at sneaking around and shooting horses immediately wore civilian clothes to come to the party, Xiao Yao's restaurant immediately became the first choice and favorite of the wealthy in the capital, and it was not only a private room for a while, but even the scattered seats in the lobby were hard to find, and the value of the Qiusheng shopkeeper also skyrocketed one day, and officials and wealthy people came to get acquainted, but his troubles also followed, and he was troubled every day in order to arrange the adjustment seats.
As for the running water of the restaurant, not to mention, Xiao Yao was so happy when she looked at the income of the day, she really deserved the title of "the first floor in the world" on the plaque written by the emperor's eldest brother.
After arranging everything in the restaurant, early on the morning of the third day, Xiao Yao, Xiaocui, and Xing'er hurried back to the manor.
