Chapter 556 Developed (3)
One of the directors said in embarrassment: "To be fair to you, Miss, the nursing home has indeed encountered difficulties these days. The monthly expenses of our nursing home are limited. Now that the price of rice has suddenly risen, the limited amount of money is still the same as before. The nursing home's account is already making ends meet..."
"Yes, our accounts are all open to the public, and every expenditure is clearly recorded on it. Please take a look at it."
Caiwei took the account book and looked at it. When she saw that there were no mistakes, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. These external factors have caused the accounts to fail to make ends meet. Naturally, we won't blame everyone. How much is missing? We'll just make up for it."
With that said, he took out two hundred taels of silver and put it on the table.
"Let's take this money first to make up for your previous debts. For the rest, please ask a gentleman of good character to help the children in the nursing home read and read! Later, I will send someone to send some food. Mi Caishu Lai will never let everyone go hungry just because the price of rice rises. "
"Yes, yes, thank you girl!"
The principals were very grateful. They originally planned to send someone to the capital to discuss with Mr. Huo. Now Miss Mu came and solved the problem without saying a word. She also invited a husband to enlighten the children in the support hall. Everyone was surprised and moved!
In the evening, Caiwei sent two large carriages filled with brown rice, white rice, white noodles, various fresh vegetables, and some commonly used medicinal materials.
These things, if stored a few days ago, would have been worth three to five hundred taels of silver. Now, they are worth thousands of taels, enough for everyone to eat for two months.
The old, weak, sick and disabled people in the nursing home were secretly worried when they saw the increase in food prices, lest their boss would let them starve. Unexpectedly, Miss Mu was so generous and not only sent them enough food, rice, vegetables and Chinese medicine, but also Their little children were asked to read and read. They were all moved and agreed to kowtow to Miss Mu to express their gratitude. However, they were told that Miss Mu had already left Lin'an Mansion, so they all had no choice but to give up and bury their gratitude in their hearts.
Caiwei left Lin'an Mansion after taking care of the nursing home affairs. She went to Zhuangzi near Lin'an Mansion to lobby to see if she could purchase some grain. Before meeting Nangong Yi, she wanted to give him a surprise. This surprise was, Help him solve his biggest difficulty at present and prepare enough food for his army for a month!
Lin'an Prefecture is a prosperous city, and the surrounding villages are very large. Some of them are privately owned by the gentlemen in Lin'an, and some are owned by local gentry. Those villages own a large amount of land, and each household has a large amount of land. They will hoard a large amount of food. I believe that as long as the price is given, these village owners should be willing to sell it.
Caiwei didn't wander around randomly. She found a senior middleman to take her to buy it, and promised that if he could help her buy 10,000 tons of grain, she would give him a century-old ginseng tree.
The price of a century-old ginseng is more than three hundred taels, so of course this man will spare no effort to do so. He first took Caiwei to a village more than 20 miles away from Lin'an Prefecture, called Lijiazhuang, to persuade the owner of Lijiazhuang to sell grain.
The owner of Lijiazhuang is surnamed Li Shoucai. As his name suggests, he is a real miser. He is willing to break every penny in half to spend money. The people in the village call him owner Li in person, but they all call him Li Tiejie behind his back. It means that he has nothing to lose.
Li Tieji's family has thousands of fertile fields, hundreds of mansions, and countless cattle, sheep, and livestock. He is a well-known wealthy family in Lin'an Mansion. However, this rich man with a millionaire is so stingy that he would like to break every penny in half. Erhua, with an old face all day long, goes around crying about poverty, as if he is so poor that he will starve to death.
