Chapter 107 Absolute
"master--?"
Yu Fengfeng called out twice but seeing no one responded, he raised his voice several notches higher.
Ying Tianchen finally came back to his senses, glanced at him indifferently, and turned back to the house.
Yu Fengfeng quickly followed and closed the door.
"Master, someone just reported that the soldiers guarding the city gate have been dismissed."
"How does he explain charging a city entrance fee?"
In the past, all cities had the regulation of collecting entry fees. After he came to Jiaozhou two years ago, he abolished this law.
For rich people, a few copper coins are nothing, but for ordinary people, a few copper coins may be what they have saved for a long time.
"It is said that a large number of disaster victims poured into the city some time ago, and the city's population suddenly became too large, so they started to charge an entry fee again."
Ying Tianchen snorted coldly, "He is quite eloquent."
"Send someone to keep an eye on him and see if he is doing his best to be the magistrate of Fuchuan County."
"Yes, master."
Yu Fengfeng was about to leave when he was stopped again.
"Send someone to the capital as fast as possible and have them vacate the farm in the western suburbs and move all the people there to the eastern suburbs."
Yu Fengfeng understood immediately after hearing this, and said with a look of surprise, "Master, Miss Yun is planning to stay in Cangwu County instead of going to Hepu County?"
Ying Tianchen was also happy. "Well, Miss Yun plans to buy the manor in the western suburbs. I mentioned a wealthy family. Prepare a bid of 6000 taels. When the time comes, arrange for someone to sign the contract with Miss Yun. Don't let it get out of the way."
"Don't worry, master, I will definitely get it done." Yun Fengfeng grinned, feeling really happy for his master.
If Miss Yun doesn't go to Hepu County, then the Prince Nan's Mansion won't have to move with her.
If they really want to move the Prince Nan's Palace, the people under them will be very busy.
The next day.
Yun Xi took the elderly, the weak, women and children who were staying in the inn out of the city gate, and Ying Tianchen also came out with several guards.
Yu Fengfeng drove a carriage to find Yun Xi.
"Miss Yun, here are the palm-leaf fans you requested. There are exactly 100 of them. Please order them."
Yun Xi took a casual look and believed that they would not fool her about such a thing, so she took out a purse and threw it to him.
"Here is 50 coins. Please give it to your master. I will have someone move the fan now, and I will return the carriage to you after it is moved."
Yu Fengfeng waved his hand, "Miss Yun, don't worry. We don't need this carriage for the time being. We can lend it to Miss Yun. It won't be too late to return it to us when we get to the capital city."
Yun Xi looked at the carriage, then at the young man riding the horse, and the people around him who were also riding horses. She asked curiously, "Did you buy this carriage just to carry this palm leaf fan?"
"Haha, well, can I say no?" Yu Fengfeng smiled with an embarrassed look on his face.
Yun Xi pulled the corner of her mouth, "Your master is really arrogant."
Just for this palm-leaf fan worth hundreds of coins, he had to buy a horse-drawn carriage worth dozens of taels.
It's absolutely amazing.
Yun Xi called her elder and second brothers and asked them to distribute the palm-leaf fans.
"Little sister, do you want to charge for this?" Yun Yan asked.
"No, I bought them very cheaply, only one penny a bunch."
Yunqi and Yunyan nodded without saying anything, ready to do as their sister asked for free.
Unexpectedly, Yun Yi, who was standing next to him, immediately refused to do it when he heard it.
He looked around, pulled his two brothers and sister, and said in a low voice, "How can this be free? A penny is also money. Anyone who wants a palm leaf fan must pay copper coins."
After saying that, he looked at Yun Xi angrily, "Sister, our family is poor to begin with, we can't be poor and generous, you know?"
After saying that, he glared at Yun Qi and Yun Yan again, "Brother, what's going on at home? Don't you know? How can you still indulge my sister like this?"
Yun Qi Yun Yan: "..."
Isn't it because they know the situation at home that they agreed to my younger sister's request?
Yun Xi, Yun Qi and Yun Yan all turned their heads away to hold back their laughter. This little brother at home was like a little adult, always causing them endless worries.
When Yun Yi saw the three people like this, he thought they disagreed with his decision and became anxious.
So he simply didn't let them distribute the palm-leaf fans, and directly called Yun Shuai and Yun Qiaoer to help, and asked them to hold the palm-leaf fans and ask the clansmen and villagers if they wanted them. If they did, they would pay one penny for each.
Everyone, listen, as long as it costs one cent, there is nothing that will be rejected. Usually it costs at least three cents, and if it is well made and has some small decorations, it costs five cents.
This penny is not too cheap. Some people even want to buy two more to keep for later use.
Yun Yi shook his head, "I don't know if there are any extras. I'll give one to each of you first, and then I'll sell you the extras."
After a busy period, almost everyone asked for a palm-leaf fan, and Yun Yi and the other 20 people also collected copper coins.
Seeing that there were only about 20 cattail-leaf fans left, Yun Yi wanted to look for the people who had wanted to buy more. However, when he turned around, he saw that Ying Tianchen and his friends didn't have any cattail-leaf fans in their hands. He rolled his eyes and took a few and walked over.
With a smile on his face, he asked, "Sir, do you want a palm leaf fan? When the sun comes out, it will be hot. A palm leaf fan will keep you cool. This palm leaf fan is very cheap. You can buy two for five cents. It's a good deal. Do you want to buy a few?"
He thought that his sister bought the fans for one cent a piece, and it was hard for his clansmen and fellow villagers to make money, so he could only give them the original price. However, these people were outsiders, so he could make some money. He just heard from his clansmen that these cattail leaves usually cost at least three cents. He now gave these people five cents for two, considering that they were traveling together.
When Yu Fengfeng heard him say five cents for two handfuls, his eyes widened immediately.
Good guy.
We gave your sister the palm-leaf fan for only one penny, but you sold it back for more than double the price. You really know how to do business.
"Young Master, did you see who gave you this palm leaf fan just now?"
Yun Yi shook his head truthfully, "I didn't see it."
When the palm-leaf fans were delivered just now, he and his elder and second brothers were sorting out their belongings on the other side. It was when his elder sister asked his elder and second brothers to divide the palm-leaf fans that he saw the fans.
But even if he saw who sent the palm leaf fan, he couldn't tell the people in front of him. They wanted to bypass him and find the person who sold the palm leaf fan. He would be stupid to tell them.
Yu Fengfeng wanted to say something but was stopped by Ying Tianchen's eyes.
Ying Tianchen said, "We want four."
Yun Yi smiled happily, "Okay, here are four of them for you. A total of 10 copper coins."
He had exactly four swords in his hand. He had seen clearly when he came over just now that there were four people on their side.
Ying Tianchen took the palm-leaf fan and signaled Yu Fengfeng to give the copper coins.
What else could Yu Fengfeng say? He took out a purse with a speechless look on his face and took out 10 copper coins from it.
He learned his lesson this time when he went into the city. He remembered that he didn't have change when he bought steamed buns from Miss Yun before, so he exchanged them for copper coins and small change when he went into the city yesterday.
I just didn’t expect that I would use it as soon as I left the city today.
Yun Yi took the 10 copper coins and happily returned to his team.
When Yun Xi saw him coming over from Ying Tianchen and the others, she curiously asked him where he had been.
Yun Yi took credit with a happy face, "Sister, big brother and second brother, I just took the cattail leaf fan to sell to those people, and they bought four. I sold them at five cents for two, so I made six cents in one go. Sister, the fans were not wasted."
