Get rich lying down, my supermarket knows everything from ancient times to the present

After a brief thought, Jiang Qingli finally decided to send another email to the research team.

[Hello, I noticed on the official website that your research team has significantly reduced the cost and sales price of bionic prostheses through continuous research and development and technological reform. Can your research team accept donations from individuals? ]

If there were more research funding, would more affordable prosthetics be developed?

By then, more people with physical disabilities will be able to afford prosthetic limbs.

Yong Che took the silver from the two noble-looking men and continued on his journey alone.

According to past experience, the place he was looking for would be just a few dozen miles northwest.

There must be an abundant source of water underneath that place, which would be just right for him to put his idea of ​​"Flying Sand Well" into reality.

Although he once served as "Du Shui Sikong" in Xiling, there are constant factional disputes in the Xiling court now, and he has no interest in this. He only wants to use what he has learned to benefit the people of the world.

At this moment, a caravan passed by in front of them, and Yong Che quickly stepped forward to ask for directions.

He asked a young man next to the caravan, "Brother, may I ask if there is a city a few dozen miles to the northwest?"

The young man replied truthfully: "Go northwest for another thirty miles and you will reach Yancheng. Old man, you are lucky. Yancheng is guarded by Anding Hou at the moment. Although Yancheng has suffered from disasters for years, Anding Hou has always loved his people like his own children. You will never go hungry again in Yancheng."

At this moment, Yongche was still dressed in the same tattered clothes as before.

Although he could tell that he was being mistaken for a beggar, he was not annoyed.

Instead, I was filled with joy.

I have long heard that Marquis Anding of Daning is kind to his people and treats them like his own children.

In this way, he will have the opportunity to display his talents and ambitions!

But at this time, an impatient voice came from the carriage next to him: "Hey, hey, hey! Get out of here! Where did this stinky beggar come from? It's really unlucky!"

There is a big word "Liu" embroidered on the carriage. It looks like he should be a wealthy businessman from somewhere.

Upon hearing this, Yong Che did not argue too much and turned away from the convoy.

When he was an official in Xiling, he heard that some wealthy families attached the most importance to wealth.

He was devoted to building canals and digging wells and didn't want to waste his energy on such things.

Afterwards, Yong Che walked quickly in the direction pointed by the little brother.

There were two people sitting in the carriage just now.

"Master Liu, it has to be you! Yancheng is in the heat of summer right now, and our water this year is seven or eight days later than in previous years. This way, we won't have to worry about not making money!"

The man called Master Liu laughed when he heard this: "The mayor in previous years was a poor official with little money. We couldn't make much money from those poor people. This year, the famous Marquis of Anding is in office! Sheng Huaigui is not short of money anyway, so what if he makes a few thousand taels of gold from him?"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

Jiang Qingli didn't have to wait long before she received a reply from the research team.

The first email was replied with a business VX number, which can be used to communicate specific details.

The second email was a response to her "donation".

Dear Ms. Jiang:

Hello!

We are honored to express our sincerest gratitude to you. The team has received and carefully read your email. We are deeply grateful for your high recognition and strong support for our team. At the same time, your deep care for the disabled community is even more touching.

I would like to inform you that the research funding of our team is issued after strict application procedures and approval by the state. Therefore, we regret that we cannot accept your research funding.

However, we sincerely suggest that you consider donating directly to disabled families, helping more people with physical disabilities to afford prosthetic limbs, so that they can regain their confidence and start a new chapter in life.

Thank you again for your love and support. We look forward to working together in different ways to create a better tomorrow for people with disabilities in the future.

】

After reading the entire email, an idea suddenly came to Jiang Qingli's mind.

Perhaps, she could simply set up a charitable foundation for people with disabilities.

Provide financial assistance to those with physical disabilities whose families have meagre incomes.

Provide certain subsidies when they purchase prosthetic limbs.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingli immediately sent a message to Zhao Lide.

Uncle Zhao had been doing charity work for many years, and even the majority of the workers in the factory were physically or mentally disabled.

Uncle Zhao should be able to give her some good advice.

"My Lord, there is a caravan from Yuncheng outside the city that wants to enter the city. It seems they are coming to Yancheng to sell water."

Hearing this, Sheng Huaigui put down the scroll in his hand and snorted coldly: "Let them enter the city."

He had heard that wealthy businessmen from Yuncheng came to Yancheng to sell water every year.

Not only is the price high, but the water also contains mud and sand.

This year, they will definitely not be able to earn a penny from Yancheng.

Sheng Huaigui ordered his men, "After they enter the city, do this."

--------

Mr. Liu and his convoy arrived in Yancheng very smoothly.

They didn't expect that there was already a large open space in the city for them to sell water.

Sheng Huaigui did not come out in person to discuss the water sale with him, which made Mr. Liu feel a little unhappy.

He whispered to the servant beside him: "The price of a bucket of water has risen to three ounces of gold!"

When the time comes and people can’t afford water due to the high price, he doesn’t believe Sheng Huaigui will be able to sit still!

There are many houses around this place, and people are constantly coming and going.

Mr. Liu ordered his men to bring out two buckets of water and place them in front of the stall, and then he hid in the carriage to rest.

There was a large block of ice in the carriage that he brought from Cloud City, which ensured that the interior of the carriage was extremely cool.

Half an hour later, Mr. Liu woke up from his sleep.

He came out of the carriage, stretched, and asked, "How much money did you make? Did Marquis Anding send anyone to discuss business with us?"

The servant shook his head helplessly: "I didn't make a penny."

Upon hearing this, Master Liu was incredulous: "How is this possible?"

Yancheng is so short of water that when water was sold in previous years, even though the water was mixed with mud and sand, there were still many people who left their homes to buy water.

How come it can’t be sold this year?!

Mr. Liu was wondering when suddenly an old woman came to their water stall and stopped, looking carefully at the water in the bucket.

Mr. Liu was about to step forward to make an offer, but the old woman suddenly frowned, shook her head and left.

This action made Mr. Liu even more confused.

Moreover, he just discovered that the old woman's eyes were bright and her lips were not chapped, and she did not look dehydrated.

How could this be?

Just as he was wondering this, a gust of wind blew, carrying with it a sweet smell that made Mr. Liu unable to help but take two deep breaths.

He walked towards the place where the fragrance came from with some curiosity.

At the entrance of an alley, he suddenly saw a small stall with some big, round green balls on it, but he didn't know what they were.

There were two soldiers guarding nearby.

They used a knife to cut a round ball, and bright red liquid immediately flowed out, which scared Mr. Liu.

However, at this time, Master Liu felt that the sweet taste became even stronger.

Suddenly, many Yancheng citizens ran past him, muttering, "The Marquis is here to hand out watermelons again!"

At this time, Master Liu also came to the melon stall with everyone.

Watermelon! He had only heard of it in rumors. Wasn't it something that only the emperor could eat?

How can there be watermelons in a remote and poor town like Yancheng? !

He watched in disbelief as each of the people in Yancheng stepped forward to take two slices of cut watermelon.

And they don’t have to pay!

Seeing this, Mr. Liu also followed the people of Yancheng and lined up to get the watermelons.

The sweet taste was so tempting that he couldn't help but swallow a few times.

When it was finally his turn, Master Liu stretched out his hand to take the watermelon, but to his surprise, the soldier in front of him actually stretched out his hand to him: "One piece of watermelon, five taels of silver."

Master Liu: "How come they were able to eat without paying?"

The soldier said expressionlessly, "The Marquis has ordered that the people of Yancheng can eat watermelon for free, and people from outside the city can eat a piece of watermelon for five taels of silver."

Although he was unhappy, the tempting watermelon was right in front of him, so how could Mr. Liu return empty-handed?

He swallowed and reluctantly took out a piece of silver from his purse and gave it to the soldier in front of him.

Finally I got a piece of watermelon.

Mr. Liu couldn't wait to take a bite, and the sweet juice instantly filled his entire mouth.

It made him shudder all over.

This is so delicious!!!

Just as he swallowed the whole watermelon into his mouth, before he could even wipe the watermelon juice off his face, another person appeared in front of him.

"You must be Master Liu, my Lord wants to discuss a business deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu instantly became interested.

He finally waited for it!

Sheng Huaigui finally couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to buy water from him!

Along the way, Master Liu kept urging the guide: "Hurry up, hurry up, the other masters have been waiting for a long time!"

When Master Liu finally arrived at the front hall of the Marquis' Mansion, he discovered that Master Zhao, who had come with him from Yuncheng to Yancheng to sell water, was already sitting in the hall.

After entering the city, they were taken to two places to sell water.

Now seeing that Master Zhao was also there, he suddenly became nervous.

Could it be that the man surnamed Zhao made money before him? !

After Mr. Liu came in, he bowed to Sheng Huaigui.

"I've met the Marquis."

Sheng Huaigui: "Please take a seat and have some tea. I invited you two here today because I want to discuss a business deal with you two."

When he heard the word "business", Mr. Liu's eyes lit up.

He was about to speak, but Sheng Huaigui suddenly said, "Master Liu, don't be in a hurry. Drink some water to moisten your throat first."

At this time, the servants had already brought tea.

Mr. Liu was originally a little worried that the water in Xiling was dirty and smelly.

But when he looked down and saw the clear tea in the cup, his throat began to itch unconsciously.

After thanking Sheng Huaigui, he immediately picked up the cup and drank the tea.

The tea aroma is rich and spreads layer by layer in your mouth.

The tea is good, and the water used to make it is even more precious.

But this did not worry Mr. Liu.

Even if there is water in the Marquis' Mansion, it is still a spent force.

However, the evasive look from Mr. Zhao opposite him made him confused for a moment.

At this time, the servants came into the hall with plates of sliced ​​watermelon and placed a plate on the table next to the three people in the hall.

Sheng Huaigui: "This thing is called watermelon, it is rare in the world, please try it."

Mr. Liu, who had just eaten a piece of watermelon and was not yet satisfied, naturally did not hesitate and immediately put the watermelon on the plate into his mouth.

Sheng Huaigui sat in the main seat, looking calmly at the two people eating heartily below.

After they finished eating, Sheng Huaigui spoke up, "What do you think of the taste of this watermelon?"

Mr. Liu: "The juice is sweet, refreshing and delicious, not greasy or dry, just right!"

Master Zhao followed closely behind: "It's crisp, tender, juicy, refreshing and delicious! Lord, you just promised me that you would sell me 200 watermelons for taels of gold per watermelon!"

Hearing this, Master Liu could no longer sit still, and said anxiously: "Master Zhao, what do you mean by this?!"

Sheng Huaigui explained in time: "I have some watermelons in my hand. Watermelons are rare in the world, and the watermelons in my hand are of superior quality.

I want to sell the extra watermelons, but I think they will be in short supply. However, everyone has their own expertise, and I am not an expert in business, so I invited you two to discuss this matter."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu didn't expect that what Sheng Huaigui meant by discussing business was actually this matter?

He wanted to make money from Sheng Huaigui, but he didn't expect that Sheng Huaigui was also eyeing his purse!

While he was hesitating, Mr. Zhao on the opposite side suddenly spoke again: "My Lord! I will go back to Yuncheng to get the gold now, and it will be delivered to you tomorrow morning!"

When Boss Liu saw Boss Zhao speak, he immediately became anxious.

Although ten taels of gold for a watermelon is a bit expensive, watermelons are a rare commodity, and even the emperor cannot eat many.

Nowadays, the heat is unbearable everywhere and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell products.

If you have a batch of watermelons in your hands, then you will no longer have to worry about not making money!

The Zhao family is not as good as the Liu family, and he can't let the Liu family fall behind the Zhao family in this matter!

Mr. Liu immediately said, "My Lord! I want to buy three hundred watermelons! I can give you the gold ingots tomorrow morning!"

Hearing this, Sheng Huaigui pretended to be embarrassed and said, "But I only have more than 300 watermelons in my hand. What should I do?"

After saying that, Sheng Huaigui looked at the two people sitting down leisurely.

The last time Miss Jiang sent thousands of watermelons, the Marquis’ Mansion could hardly store them all.

Of course there are still quite a few left at the moment.

He had no intention of selling these watermelons. He wanted to keep them and distribute them for free to the people and soldiers in the city.

But now that some unscrupulous businessmen are trying to use some dirty water to attract his attention, he doesn't mind making these two unscrupulous businessmen spit blood.

"My Lord! Eleven ounces of gold for a watermelon! Please sell me all these three hundred watermelons!"
