Chapter 401 Inside Information

"Oh?" Shen Liu could not help but focus on her face after hearing Lian Man'er's words, and carefully looked at the full text. "Man'er, do you take this seriously? Are you willing to give up?"

Lian Man'er couldn't help but think that he hadn't seen her see gold just now, and that kind of look with his eyes shining? Why did he look at it for a while, and before he could touch it, he was willing to give him all the gold? Shen Liu stared at Lian Man'er's face, as if he didn't want to miss the slightest change in expression on her face.

"Sixth Master, I wouldn't say anything like this. Of course I took it seriously." Even Man'er said seriously. A archway that was bestowed on the imperial side is a glory and guarantee that can't be bought for much money. As for money, based on her current foundation, she still has no worries about making money. One thousand taels of silver can be earned in at most two years.

The emperor and Shen Liu rewarded her family with generous rewards, so she didn't mind giving generous rewards.

It would definitely cost a lot of money to promote corn cultivation. She gave away the hundred taels of gold, which made Yu Guo and Yu Min do a good thing, and at the same time, it also made Shen Liuhe and the emperor's family owe her favors.

What is the most precious thing in this world? First of all, it is definitely not gold and silver, or even power, or anything else. No matter what era, as long as there is human beings, the most precious thing in this world is human favors.

Shen Liu was stunned when he saw that Lian Man'er was really going to give him a hundred taels of gold, but he immediately smiled.

Does Lian Man'er love money? Obviously she loves money, and she loves it openly and never hides it. However, it was like this that she pushed out the large amount of money she got several times.

Be careful of material resources, but not greedy. You know the importance of being grateful, and you can grasp the right amount of your ability. Behind it is a delicate heart with kindness and intelligence as the background.

"...The state treasury pays for the promotion of corn." Shen Liu said slowly, "These gold is rewarded by the Lord of Long Live to your family. You can't use the corn in vain, right? You should keep the gold for your family for flowers."

"Oh." Lian Man'er felt a little regretful when she saw that Shen Liu didn't want gold.

"Why? You are very rich now. You don't even take this hundred taels of gold seriously?" Shen Liu sat on the chair, leaned slightly, and glanced at Lian Man'er and said.

Just now, Lian Shouxin was called out to investigate the location of the archway together. Zhang and Lian Zhier went to the kitchen to boil water. There were only two close servants Shen Liu in the room. Then there were Lian Man'er, Goro and Xiaoqi.

"It's not that." Lian Man'er heard the joke in Shen Liu's words and hurriedly clarified, "One hundred taels of gold, our family has never seen so much money at once... I just thought that it would definitely cost a lot of money to promote corn. I want to help."

Shen Liu's eyes rolled.

"Can you make the decision on this family?" Shen Liu asked suddenly.

"Oh," Lian Man'er paused. She was really used to being the leader of the family. She said such a big thing in front of Shen Liu. However, she seemed to be like this in front of Shen Liu before, and Shen Liu had never said anything. Why did she remember to ask this question today?

Lian Man'er wanted to say that she could really make the decision on this family. However, after thinking about it, she felt that she could not say that.

"Sixth Master, this matter. My father, mother, and our whole family think so." Lian Man'er said.

This sentence blurs the matter of who is in charge of the family, and at the same time further confirms that what she just said is a calculation, not a child's casual speech.

Lian Man'er was still very confident about what she said. With her understanding of Lian Shouxin and Zhang, the couple were both easy to satisfy and not greedy for money. They said they wanted to donate 100 taels of gold to promote corn, so they were definitely willing. In addition, Goro, Xiaoqi and Lian Zhier, these people have always stood with her.

"Yes, Master Liu, this is what our whole family means." Sure enough, Goro stepped forward and confirmed what Lian Man'er said.

Xiaoqi nodded as well.

Shen Liu narrowed his eyes and said nothing. Wulang and Xiaoqi did this, which only made him more sure that Lian Man'er was the one in charge in this family, although she was only older than Xiaoqi.

It's really interesting.

"You should keep these gold." Shen Liu thought for a while and said, "If you really want to serve the country and the people, there will always be a chance in the future."

Since Shen Liu said that, it would be difficult for even Man'er to insist on sending all the gold out.

"Sixth Master, should we promote corn start from our Liaodong Prefecture?" Lian Man'er asked.

"Yeah." Shen Liu nodded, "In addition to the reward order, there is another official document promoting corn planting. It is estimated that it will be here in the past few days."

"What is the content? Sixth Master will give us some insights." Lian Man'er said hurriedly.

Shen Liu slowly... took a sip of tea and stood up.

"It's time to leave."

Lian Man'er wanted to roll her eyes at Shen Liu, but she still had to smile and send Shen Liu out.

Heading towards me, Manager Zhong, Lian Shouxin and others who came back from surveying the terrain.

"...The location has been selected." The official in charge of the investigation quickly reported to Shen Liu.

When building the Imperial Palace, I chose to go to the front of the gate of the new Lian family's house, facing north and south, and left a more than meter of open space between the archway in front of the village. Anyone who came to the Lian family would get off the official road and walk along the road next to the Lianji Shop, and then walk directly to the front of the archway.

To enter the main entrance of the Lian family, you must get off the horse, get off the car, and kneel down before entering. Of course, if you only walk through the two corner gates of the Lian family across the courtyard, you can avoid the imperial archway.

Manager Zhong was entrusted by his master and had contacts with Lian Shouxin many times. He became friends, so he thought about the Lian family. The official responsible for the investigation received a big red envelope from Lian Shouxin and was happy to do favors to the Lian family.

This location is very good, at least Lian Man'er is very satisfied.

Shen Liu went out and looked at the plots marked by the inspectors, and nodded. Obviously, he also thought the location was good.

"When will the construction start? When will the construction be completed?" Shen Liu asked.

"Report to the lord, the officials will transfer materials to the next day, and the craftsmen will be able to start construction in the future." The official said, peeking at Shen Liu's face, "The officials dare not be careless in the archway given by the imperial court... They will be completed in forty days."

Just now, most of the officials had already accompanied the imperial envoy to take the lead, but some officials had not left. When they saw Shen Liu coming out, they all surrounded him.

Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi retreated to the back and turned to the shop with Zhang.

As soon as I sat down in the shop, a servant came with two snack boxes and smiled.

"... The little one is Quanfu, and he is serving Master Liu. Master Liu ordered that he didn't bring anything to come this time. This snack was made in the small kitchen in the mansion and left for the girl to taste at home." The servant Quanfu bowed and said with a smile.

Zhang hurriedly asked the servant to sit down, and said with all his hard work, he brought tea, snacks and fruits for the servant to eat.

Quanfu smiled and pushed him, saying that Shen Liu was about to get up immediately and he had to go over and serve him. Although he said that, his feet did not move.

Lian Man'er recognized this servant. Shen Liu came to Thirty Liyingzi several times, and the servant followed him to serve him. Shen Liu wanted to keep some snacks for them to eat, but he didn't keep it just now, but now he sent a servant over.

Lian Man'er couldn't help but feel moved when she looked at the servant.

"Brother Quanfu, you are the person who serves Liu Master personally. You must know everything that others don't know." Lian Man'er said, then gave Zhang a secret wink.

Zhang then stuffed a bulging purse into the servant's hand.

"If you have something to do, then we won't leave it to you. I'll buy some fruits to eat on the way." Zhang said.

Quan Fu gave in a little and then calmly took the purse.

"Brother Quanfu, that official document for promoting corn..." Lian Man'er quickly took the opportunity to inquire.

Quanfu looked around.

"Xiao Qi." Lian Man'er hurriedly asked Xiao Qi to go out and watch the people.

"The young man knew this, but he didn't know it clearly. He just heard one or two sentences in a daze, but it was not true. If the girl asked, the young man had to say it. However, the girl just listened and couldn't take it seriously."

"That's sure." Lian Man'er nodded and smiled.

Quanfu saw that there were only Zhang and Lian Man'er in the room, so he lowered his voice and said something.

…………

After seeing off Shen Liu and his party, Lian Man'er's house was lively for a while. After everyone left, they returned to the shop, Lian Man'er remembered what Quanfu said again.

The location for corn promotion is set in Liaodong Prefecture. The government will distribute corn seeds and select fertile fields for planting. The fields selected to plant corn will be exempted from taxes this year. During the autumn harvest, each acre of land must be paid 600 kilograms of high-quality corn to the court, and the rest will be owned by the owner of the field.

These corn growers are not allowed to eat the corn without fully ripe or resell it at a high price.

The purpose of promoting corn is to make corn a food ration for the general public. Therefore, the imperial court will order the price of corn. According to the level of corn and the degree of dryness and wetness, the price of corn is set between four cents and six cents per pound.

Soon, this official document will be promulgated to various places in Liaodong Prefecture.

Shen Liu took away a total of 16,380 kilograms of high-quality corn from Lian Man'er's house. If they are distributed as seeds, they are calculated based on two kilograms of corn seeds per acre. Some losses are eliminated, then these seeds can be used for cultivation of 8,000 acres of fertile land.

These 8,000 acres of fertile land can be harvested in the autumn harvest season next year, and the remaining corn is enough for the owners of those fields to make food. The official price of corn can effectively avoid hoarding and facilitate circulation.

I have to say that this is a very good decree.

"Sister, I just said that Brother Xiaojiu has become an official too. What kind of uncle is he?" Xiaoqi hugged the baby cat Dahua and approached Lian Man'er and asked.
