Chapter 375 Negotiation

   Although the fourth prince was a little troublesome, he still couldn't refuse the benefits that this matter itself could bring him. So, in the end, he agreed to this arrangement according to Pei Gan's wishes.

   It’s just that there has never been an advantage for nothing in this world. After persuading the fourth prince to agree to be the chief priest of this sacrifice, Pei Gan continued to cry in front of him.

After all, it is nothing more than that the families of many soldiers who died in the war have a difficult life. The annual Cold Food Festival is also when each family does good deeds every year. The wealthy people in the north side will give some money to help those people. Military families who lost their fathers, husbands, sons, etc.

  The fourth prince listened to it for a long time, but in the end he was not stingy. Originally, he planned to invest 10,000 taels directly, but he was stopped by Pei Gan.

   "His Royal Highness, I know that your generous donation is kind, but you also have to consider the specific situation on the northern side.

   If you donate ten thousand taels, what should you do with the remaining families? This place is not as rich as the capital. If it doesn’t keep up with your amount, then it will spread out, thinking that you have no appeal, and these aristocratic families will not give you face; but if everyone donates according to the amount close to yours. Come out, some strong people are in trouble.

   Although those people didn't say it on the surface, they were somewhat embarrassed and embarrassed in their hearts. "

The fourth prince has always been relatively able to listen to Pei Gan's advice. Although he felt that only 2,000 taels would not be able to save face, he finally accepted Pei Gan's proposal and invested 2,000 taels in his own name. It is used to support the families of military households who have lost their loved ones and are living in hardship.

   Pei Gan took care of everything on the Fourth Prince's side, then left the Huaiyang Palace and went back to report Lin Suisui and the others.

After receiving the letter, Lin Suisui did not delay, and immediately sent Baiguo to arrange someone to tell the county governor's wife that the fourth prince agreed to be the chief priest, and also donated 2,000 taels of silver in his own name.

   With this quasi-letter, Mrs. Tang Junshou breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on her face that had been tense for a few days.

  Although it was an excellent thing for the four princes to agree to be the priest, there were also many drawbacks.

   One of the things that worries her the most is the amount of donated silver.

  If the fourth prince followed the rules of the capital and started with a swastika, then they, who were not particularly wealthy, would have to be ripped off.

   Fortunately, there are only 2,000 taels now, so they will think about it. Although it hurts a bit if they give 1,000 taels, they can still afford it, so they won’t hurt their muscles and bones.

   So Mrs. Tang County Shou did not delay any longer, and began to organize this year's Cold Food Festival in a lively manner.

  Although the weather in the north is still cold before and after the Cold Food Festival, when each family has the conditions, they will still prepare some youth groups to worship their ancestors. If you find it troublesome at home, you will also go out to the vendors outside to buy it.

  Aunt Luo is a good player in the Youth League. This year is the first cold food festival in the northern border, so after learning about the relevant customs in the northern border, Aunt Luo began to prepare intensively.

   And as expected, Aunt Luo's youth group sold extremely well.

  Lin Suisui was sitting in the backyard of Fang's tea and rice shop, watching Fang Liu's and Fang Ruier's youth league.

   "I've been very busy these past few days. Thanks to Lady Liu, you let my father and husband come back. Otherwise, we and my mother would be too busy."

  Fang Liu was busy, but he didn't forget to say thankful words to Lin Suisui.

   "It's nothing. Before and after the Hanshi Festival, many workers had to go home to worship, so they simply stopped working for a few days. It would be better to go back to work after everyone's work is done."

Lin Suisui was teaching Fang Ruier to recognize herbal medicine, and when he heard Fang Liu's words, he replied with a smile, "But this is not a long-term solution. Now this tea and rice shop seems to be more and more prosperous every day, have you considered adding a few more? A buddy to help?"

  It wasn't Lin Suisui's whim, but it was true that the tea and rice shop was getting busier every day recently. Aunt Luo is getting old, and Fang Liu's family is now pregnant and can't bear the burden. Although Fang Ruier can endure hardships, she is only a little lady who has not left the cabinet, and there are many places that can't be fully taken into account.

   And Mr. Fang and Mr. Fang's family still have to pick up the work outside, so they rarely have time to help in the shop, so Lin Suisui thought about it and came up with this method to relieve the pressure in the shop.

"I mentioned this to A-Niang, but A-Niang couldn't bear it." Fang Liu thought of Aunt Luo's response before, and sighed helplessly: "A-Niang said, please ask people to spend money, and our shop is only open now. It didn't take long for it to get up. Although it looks like a good business at the moment, who can predict what will happen in the future?

   Therefore, she would rather be tired now than spend extra money to increase the cost. "

"This can't be done." Lin Suisui shook his head gently, and said with some disapproval: "The body is much more important than the money, so let me handle this matter. I took a look. I don’t need too many people for the work here, so I asked Ginkgo to go back to the Tooth Shop and buy two more practical ones and send them over to use first.”

  Lin Suisui can also understand some of the reasons why Aunt Luo was unwilling to hire someone.

   It's just because she still has shares in it. If she loses money at that time, even if she doesn't mind, but with Aunt Luo's temperament, how can she feel at ease?

   So now, Aunt Luo is very cautious about every money she spends on her business.

   But this is not what Lin Suisui wants to see. But she didn't want Aunt Luo to be too exhausted, so she finally thought of this relative compromise.

   "You also know that Yan Xitang on my side will be opening soon. I just use the tea and rice shop to try people. If it is reliable, it will be easy to use there in the future."

  Lin Suisui seemed to see Fang Liu's hesitation and worry, she explained very considerately.

   What kind of customers is Yan Xitang targeting, and what kind of customers are their tea and rice shops targeting? Fang Liu's heart is clear. Even if they spend their whole life in their shop, they may not have the opportunity to serve those nobles there.

  Fang Liu's heart was clear, but he did not bluntly pierce it. Because she knew very well that this was Lin Suisui's kindness, and she could not live up to it.

  So in the end, Fang Liu just hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay, then let's do it according to Lady Liu!"
