had never been before, there were people living such hardship.He couldn't bear it."Your Highness, returning to the capital is inevitable, but we must have a foolproof plan.""We need to avoid those peo..."If Miss Zong thinks the price isn't enough, I... I can even give myself to you." Young Master Wang started blushing again.

Fang Jinshui couldn't hold back any longer, rolled her eyes, and stood up to leave.

Wang D Shao immediately retracted, getting back to the point.

"Three times!"

"Price is negotiable."

"Since Madam Zong understands the situation, you should also know that times are difficult now. Food production has sharply decreased. A few days ago, it was an oversight on the part of our Wang family's accountant that we sold all the grain from our three granaries to you."

"These grains are the foundation of our royal granary, please, Madam Zong, do us a favor. Name your price, and we assure you we will not shortchange you."

Three times the price That's quite a lot of money.

If it were normal times, I would just sell it.

She's also short on food right now, with so many people in the village waiting to eat. She wouldn't sell the grain back to the Wang family.

"If I don't want to sell"

Young Master Wang finally showed a hint of the expression a businessman should have. His eyes flickered, calculating a hundred and eighty schemes within them.

Finally, he smiled and said, “I’m very sincere in wanting to discuss this business with Miss Zong. As long as you’re willing, I can even make you the eldest mistress of the Wang family.”

“I don't understand, what does Lady Zong need so much grain for She’s just a country woman.”

Fan Jinshu narrowed her eyes, "If I want food, what else can I do but eat it."

Wang Daren's expression faltered, he probably didn't expect Fang Jinxiu to be so difficult to deal with.

With the terms unresolved, Wang Dashi suddenly sighed and played the emotional card.

"Without these provisions, I'm afraid more than half of the over one hundred clerks at Wang Family Grain Store would lose their jobs. They all have elderly parents and young children to support."

"Sect Leader's daughter, you don't seem like such a heartless person. Can't you reconsider"

Seeing that Fang Jinxiu's appetite had dwindled, Wang Dajun even resorted to playing the victim, pretending to be pitiful. She smiled.

Suddenly let it out.

"Actually, I have a win-win solution."

Wang Dashao instantly perked up, "What method"

At this time, Wang Guan brought tea and snacks. Jade Lotus kept staring at the snacks. They were so exquisitely made, they looked so good, she felt a little bit like eating them.

Her thoughts were almost written all over her face. Fang Jinshu turned her hand and brought the plate of snacks on the table to Yulian.

"My niece seems a bit hungry, would Master Wang mind"

If Fang Jinxiu hadn't spoken, he would have thought this girl was his maid. He never expected her to be his younger sister-in-law.

Wang D Shao shook his head.

He then ordered his men to set up a banquet.

Fang Jinshi hurriedly spoke to stop her, "No need! We won't eat."

The original plan was to dangle a bit of bait in front of the Wang family, keep them guessing, so that they would be more polite to Zhao Xingzhou when he joined the chamber of commerce.

Now Fang Jinshi regrets it.

When I arrived, I took a quick look at the shops on both sides of the market. I found that your Wang family not only does a grain business, but also buys some mountain goods and dried goods.

Wang Gongzi nodded. "Yes, but over the past six months, the supply channels for mountain goods have become increasingly scarce. Without water, we can't grow food, and naturally, we can't grow other things. The business of mountain goods and dried goods is even worse than that of grain."

"Why did you suddenly bring this up, Master Zong"

"If I were to help you revive the mountain goods shop, Master Wang wouldn't have to worry about whether the grain store clerks could afford food, or if they would have to shut down," Fang Jinshu said.

"If there's really no food left to sell, just change the sign and sell other things like mountains goods and dried goods instead."

Young Master Wang was taken aback, feeling that Fang Jinshu was talking nonsense. They couldn't even grow enough food, let alone having mountains of goods!

This kind of thing is now as precious as food, no, even more precious than food.

But Fang Jinshu had plenty of them. Yulian had cleared so many vegetable patches on the mountaintop, just waiting to be used.

She had been thinking that the warehouse for storing food and vegetables wasn't finished yet, and there was nowhere to put the vegetables she continued to grow at home. Her own space was also almost full.

I was thinking about asking Jadelian to slow down on planting vegetables for a while, but now I don't have to. In fact, if I can strike a deal with Young Master Wang for the mountain goods store, when I get home I'll even need to expand the farmland and increase my planting area.

Luckily, Young Master Wang had also been in charge of the family business for over two years, so he was somewhat capable. He thought this to himself but asked aloud:

"Could it be that Mistress Zong has other channels for procuring goods"from talking too much; she wasn't a villain, and she wouldn't make that mistake!She kicked Li Lie in the groin, and he winced in pain, his face turning pale.Fang Jinshu was cold-faced. Besides those...
