The casual life of the flat space

After some calculations, Boss Xing said, "This year is strange. Originally, businesses in the south should have started placing orders for horses and vehicles by this time, but there has been no movement until now.

Well... I won't ask you why. I can prepare sixty horses, twenty covered carriages, and sixty carts, the kind without carriages. If you think it's not enough, everyone is here, so you can all come together."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Uncle Xing. I'll need your help in choosing the horses. I also need the two types of carriages you mentioned, which are equal to the number of horses. I'll just need a few more as backup. Oh, and there are other supporting items. I'll trouble Uncle Xing to take care of them for my niece."

"That's nothing to worry about. I should thank you!"

Although Boss Xing was quite confused, he was happy. In previous years, he had to wait at the cattle and horse market from the end of August to the beginning of December. If he could sell it all at once, he would have less to worry about.

"Let me introduce Tieying to those of you who don't know her. She is known as the business prodigy of Shang'an. She went from having nothing to opening a workshop in just three months.

The workshop was called Chunweizhai Food Factory, and when it opened, it invited several of us uncles and aunts who had sold horses to it. Who would have thought that it would invite us, a few rough guys, to sit at the table with General Zhao, Si County Lieutenant and others, and even introduce us to a lot of business.

Gou Saner was about to kill the horse, and wanted to cheat Tieying. But the horse was not only saved, but also the money for the horse was given to Gou Saner, so that his wife would not be taken away by Boss Jiang. I won't go into details about other things, but I think that although Tieying is young, she is not reckless.

Now Tieying said that they needed to help the village fight insects and needed horses and carriages. Time was tight, so I didn't ask in detail, but this child's kindness and righteousness were the same as her uncle, Doctor Bai from the South City Clinic.

What I meant to say to everyone was that if you have any good horses that have not been signed, bring them out, and count the number of carriages and equipment you have. This kid keeps his word. You all know that Lao Xuan and I sold 28 horses, right? We sold them to Tieying.

Don't worry, I, Xing Nanguang, will guarantee this, so this is no joke. But I have to say that I am talking about good horses and good tools. We have been in the cattle and horse market for half our lives, so who doesn't know who? You can look down on me, Xing Nanguang, but you have to consider whether you can offend General Zhao.

Okay, don't stay indoors any longer, we'll deliver the goods in Dongfeng Village in two hours!"

As soon as Boss Xing finished speaking, several men started walking towards the door, as if they were waiting for Boss Xing to finish his nonsense.

"Tieying, I'm your Uncle Li. I'll prepare it for you right away! Wait for me!"

"Tieying, I'm your Uncle Ge, you should look after my horse first!"

"Tie Ying, do you still remember me? I'm your Grandpa Wan! I still have some sheep, do you want some? I'll give you five taels of silver!"

……

Those who knew Bai Tieying before, or knew about Bai Tieying, believed it immediately after hearing what Boss Xing said. He is not unwilling to give money, why do you care about him? If you don't make money, you are a fool. So they said something like this and walked out.

The rest of the people who didn't know Bai Tieying immediately put aside their worries when they saw so many people rushing out. If this was a scam, and they could convince so many people to commit a scam together, then they would accept it.

But just now, Boss Xing only said he wanted good horses, but he didn't say how many he wanted? Can we gather them together? Boss Xing only has so many horses, how many will be enough? But we have to hurry, right?

Except for Boss Xing, all the horse dealers had left. The remaining twenty or so people all urged Qiu Lao Wantou to try to get close to Bai Tieying and ask if he wanted anything else. With the current insect plague, the next two years will definitely be difficult, so why not sell them quickly? Even if they can break even, they can still make a profit.

Bai Tieying felt a little amused when hearing his own "name". If Boss Xing knew that this was a losing business, he didn't know whether he would still believe in him so firmly.

But no matter from which angle, I can't just watch the locusts wreak havoc, so if I can simplify things, it's not impossible for me to be a "Shancai Dragon Girl" or something.

It was agreed that the shop would be open two hours later. After exchanging greetings with everyone, Bai Tieying went to Sijixin. As expected, Shopkeeper Xiang was trapped in the shop and couldn't get out.

Afraid that the locusts would be difficult to clean up if he opened the front door, Bai Tieying asked at the door and entered through the back door of the shop.

"Tieying, why are you here?" Sure enough, Manager Xiang was also very curious about why Bai Tieying came here at this time.

Time was running out, so Bai Tieying directly asked Manager Xiang how much goods he had and how much he could borrow from other cloth shops?

Not to mention her relationship with her uncle, or her intention to find a granddaughter-in-law for herself, Bai Tieying's intelligence alone was enough for Manager Xiang to believe in and support her without hesitation.

Next, Bai Tieying went through all his connections in the county, and when he figured out that he had almost spent all the cash he had earned in Xuanqinglu, he called out Mu Qingqiu from the space, and the two of them went to General Zhao.

Here, Mu Qingqiu's face is better than Bai Tieying's. Every time he comes with Mu Qingqiu, he always mentions his name. But they didn't expect that they would be turned away this time. If Wang Qinwei hadn't come out by chance, they wouldn't have known that General Zhao was now in the county government office to discuss matters!

After knowing the destination, the two turned around and went to the county government office in the west. They sat on the bench at the door for a long time before finally seeing General Li coming to lead them in.

After the greetings, Bai Tieying directly stated her purpose: "Uncle Zhao, are you here to discuss the insect plague with the adults? I have a few methods that have been implemented in Xianhe Village. Perhaps you can refer to them."

"What method? What's the effect?" General Zhao stood up happily.

Bai Tieying simply summarized the various methods. After listening to them, General Zhao paced back and forth in the room for a while and told General Li, "Please come to the second hall to discuss the matter."

As soon as the insect plague came, these people knew that something was wrong. But from this morning till now, they couldn't think of any good way to implement it except the usual practice. Just now, they were already so annoyed that they started to shirk responsibility. General Zhao then told everyone to change clothes and rest for two minutes before discussing it again.

A standard county government office should have four main officials: the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the chief clerk, and the county lieutenant, as well as supporting officials such as inspectors, educators, and instructors. Finally, there are lower-level semi-civil servants such as the registrar, the three shifts and six offices.

Bai Tieying heard from Mu Qingqiu that the total number of people in various positions in the Chi County government could reach more than a thousand, but there were also makeshift teams in remote counties with only a dozen people in total.
