The all-round coser bravely challenges the female supremacy!

When Fu Feng heard Su Yu asking her the reason, she complained bitterly,

"Miss Su! I'm not happy about this pig pancreas soap yet. Yesterday afternoon, the government released news that they would hold a sale this morning.

I was incredibly busy yesterday. On the one hand, I was collecting information about the sale, and on the other hand, I was trying to find someone to test the pig pancreas. It was really a rush! I was so busy that I was completely exhausted!

Su Yu was quite surprised when he heard this.

"The government is going to hold a flea market?"

Fu Feng said seriously,

"Yeah! I heard there are some empty shops for sale in Cangzhou City, as well as some land outside the city. I heard there's a lot of stuff for sale this time!"

Su Yu frowned and asked,

"Does the government in Cangzhou City still hold this kind of sale? Are they held frequently?"

Fu Feng shook his head and said,

"Not much. The last time was two years ago. At that time, under the advice of my master, I bought the land in Xiguo Village and a few uninhabited shops in Cangzhou City.

You know what, the master was really foresighted at that time!

At that time, the land of Xiguo Village was located in the northwest corner of the suburbs. The three families of Fan, Bai and Hu were not interested in it. Fortunately, the master reminded them.

We bought the land of Xiguo Village at a low price back then. It’s only been two years, but with the support of our Jin family, the development of Xiguo Village has completely changed!

Many of the things we sell in our shop are from Xiguo Village. Especially since there has been a drought recently, there is a stream in Xiguo Village which is a tributary of the Cang River.

Thanks to this stream, our crops in Xiguo Village have been very good this year. Now that grain prices have risen a bit, we still have plenty of grain in reserve! We can make a lot of money!

And those few shops in Cangzhou City that no one cares about, I didn't expect that just by changing the items they sell, their profits would double!"

Su Yu raised his eyebrows unconsciously when listening to Fu Feng's words. Is Xue Rong so foresighted?

But Fu Feng came so early and said so much, Su Yu was quite confused.

"You came here early in the morning and said so much. You're going to the government office to participate in the sale later. You don't want to take me with you, do you?"

Fu Feng waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this, and said embarrassedly,

"That's not the case. You're a stranger, and I haven't had time to complete your household registration yet. You can't attend the sale."

Su Yu's face froze. She almost forgot that she was still an illegal resident!

"Then why did you come to tell me so much so early in the morning?"

Seeing Su Yu asking her the purpose of her visit, Fu Feng smiled and said ingratiatingly,

"I came here to ask if Miss Su has any good ideas. There are still many plots of land and shops available for purchase this time.

I thought that since you could come up with such rare items as pig pancreas soap and perfumed soap, you must have different ideas about other things. Now that you are the future master of our Jin Mansion, we will prosper together, right? "

Su Yu was amused by Fu Feng. He thought that he was trying to fleece her early in the morning. Was she so easily fleeced?

If you want to take advantage of her, you must be aware that she will take off a layer of your wealth.

"Indeed, we will all prosper together from now on. So, Steward Fufeng, please tell us what information you have gathered."

When Fu Feng saw Su Yu agreed to help her, he immediately analyzed,

"This time, there are quite a few shops for sale on the main street in the east of the city and in the alleys at the end of the street. There are also quite a few shops for sale in the north of the city. There is also a lot of land for sale in the suburbs. There are shops in all four directions."

Su Yu could hear that Fu Feng was particularly fond of the shop in the east of the city, but when he suddenly heard that so much land was to be sold, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Are they selling too much? Are there so many empty shops in Cangzhou City? Why are so many plots of land in the suburbs also being sold? Have you checked them all out?"

Fu Feng smiled bitterly and said,

"Miss Su, you're joking. The sale happened so quickly this time that I only had time to check out a few shops in the east of the city. Everything else is just hearsay, but the news is definitely true!"

Su Yu couldn't help but feel a little worried. It sounded like Cangzhou City had sold so much land, as if it was going to run away.

"Butler Fufeng, is the deficit in Cangzhou City that big? Is it necessary to sell so much land? And there are so many shops."

Fu Feng quickly comforted him,

"Don't worry, Miss Su. The transactions of these shops and land are normal! As for the future of Cangzhou City, you don't have to worry!

"Mrs. Xu of Cangzhou City is quite capable. In the past three years since she's been in Cangzhou City, our city has become visibly more prosperous! The people of Cangzhou City love her very much!"

Hearing Fu Feng say this, Su Yu felt relieved. He thought that City Lord Xu must be of considerable background and seemed to be able to control his subordinates well.

Fu Feng saw Su Yu's expression eased, and then continued,

"In fact, it is normal to buy and sell shops in the city. It's just that City Lord Xu pays more attention to the planning of the shops in the city. Once there is a conflict or irreconcilable contradiction between shops, the government office will take back the shop.

Sometimes City Lord Xu would rebuild the streets, and at that time some shops would be stored in the government office. It must be because a lot of these shops were kept in the government office that they were sold off this time."

Fu Feng guessed so.

"As for the land sales outside the city, I think it's because of the recent drought.

You see, tilling the land before planting is already difficult. Last year, there wasn't a good snowfall, and now the land is dry, making it even more difficult!"

Hearing this, Su Yu couldn't help but wonder,

"Is it so dry this year? Didn't it rain a few days ago?"

Fu Feng sighed,

"That rain was too short and the rainfall was not heavy. The ground was wet and then it disappeared. Moreover, it was the first rain in recent months. It did not help the land in the suburbs at all."

Su Yu was puzzled.

"Even if the plowing is difficult, there are still cows. Didn't you say that Cangzhou City Lord Xu is so capable? Then the villages outside Cangzhou City should not be too poor.

"It wouldn't be a problem for the whole village to buy a cow, right? Why not use the cow to farm? Why sell the land? How is that any different from selling the village?"

Fu Feng said with regret,

"Ms. Su, you don't know that those villages that can sell land are definitely not wealthy. It's no problem for the entire village to buy a cow, but the key is that a cow is useless!

In the past few years, the villagers plowed the land by themselves. In recent years, a plowing tool has been circulated from the Ministry of Households, but it requires two oxen to operate. One ox is simply not enough!

Oh no! I can't explain this farmland thing, Qiao San and the others know better. I can only say that these villages must be selling their land because they can't make ends meet!

Once the land is sold, people will definitely need to be found to farm it. The merchant pays, so the neighboring village will be like a vassal of the merchant. They will have the money to farm the land, but it all depends on the type of owner they meet."

Su Yu sighed,

"It seems that Cangzhou City is not that wealthy. There are villages around it that have fallen to the point of selling land."

Fu Feng's words made Su Yu want to go to the village to see some of the current agricultural tools and wonder if they could be improved. When she heard Fu Feng talk about the drought, she inexplicably had a bad premonition.

Fu Feng sneered,

"There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in this world. The rich have endless delicacies to eat, while the common people can only work hard to make ends meet.

If Fufeng had not been saved by his fortunate master, he would have been nothing more than an ant among the countless toiling creatures."
