If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

The violent rage just now also alarmed Meixiang and Feng Yizheng in the inner room. They both looked in the direction of the reception room and continued to discuss.

After a cup of tea, Feng Yizheng returned to the reception room, but this time he had an extra piece of paper in his hand.

"We have just received the data on rice and flour needed that was counted by the military camp this morning. Apart from Boss Liu, who else needs to take a look?" Feng Yizheng asked the four bosses opposite him.

Zhou's Rice and Grain Store was the first to step forward and said, "Give it to me, sir. We are the largest Zhou's Rice and Grain Store in Liuzhou Prefecture. I should be the first to do my best."

Feng Yizheng smiled and handed the paper in his hand to Mr. Zhou, "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhou." Then he signaled Chen Er beside him to prepare to record the numbers reported by each store.

Zhou Dongjia was very straightforward this time, reporting the amount of 90 dan of brown rice, 110 dan of brown flour, 20 dan of polished rice, and 40 dan of polished flour, which was considered a great effort;

Upon seeing this, Yang Dongjia also quickly reported the quantity: 70 dan of brown rice, 80 dan of brown flour, 15 dan of polished rice, and 30 dan of polished flour;

Liu turned his head and glanced at Zhang, who was sitting beside him, listening with his ears stretched out and his eyes flashing. He thought for a moment and gave his own numbers: 60 dan of brown rice, 80 dan of brown flour, 15 dan of polished rice, and 20 dan of polished flour;

So the amount that Mr. Zhang has left is: ten shi of brown rice, thirty shi of brown flour, and ten shi of refined flour.

Seeing that the four of them had finished their assignments, Feng Yizhen looked at Zhang Dongjia, who was at the end and had no chance to choose, and asked with a smile, "Thank you all again. Does Zhang Dongjia have any objection to this assignment?"

Zhang Dongjia dodged his gaze again, then smiled and said, "Since all the brothers have made their choices, and the young man from the government office has also recorded them, there is no need to make any changes."

"Well, now let me talk about the price I'm going to give you. Since you are so supportive of the Princess and Liuzhou Prefecture, the government office can't let you suffer too much, right?"

Feng Yizhen paused here and saw that the four owners opposite were all looking at him closely. He understood the profit-seeking principle of the Feng family in Haoyue's main household department, so he didn't pay too much attention to their expressions. He continued, "According to the order of the Duke, this time the price of brown rice is five cents, brown flour is four cents, polished rice is ten cents, and polished flour is eight cents. Do you have any different opinions on this price?"

When this price was quoted, not only Zhou Dongjia and his men were shocked again, but even Liu Dongjia's eyes widened and flashed rapidly. They were prepared to lose money on this business in the government office, but they never expected that the price given would be so speechless. This price was the market price two months ago. Although the current price has increased a little, the risk has also increased.

The new rice and flour will be harvested in a month. If the old rice and flour in stock are not sold out in this month, they will have to sell them at a loss after July. Although more than 90% of them are sold to the government office at a lower price than the current market price, the risks this year have been completely resolved. Overall, this batch of grain has made them a small profit.

The one who felt the most pain was Zhang, the owner of Zhang's Rice Store. He originally thought that the price would be based on the lowest bid of the four people, so that he would have the least amount and the least loss. However, he was just feeling happy when he heard this "bad news". He couldn't hold back his regret. He looked up at the two adults opposite him and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he couldn't speak.

"Sir, the government office is in trouble right now. We can accept a lower price." Mr. Liu looked up at Master Feng and Master Chu opposite him and tried to speak calmly.

"Yes, yes, we can accept it." Upon hearing this, the other three nodded in agreement.

Feng Yizhen had a signature smile on his face as he looked at the four people who were nodding their heads. "Thank you very much, everyone. It's not easy for everyone to go out and do business. We understand your wishes. Everyone should collect the required amount as soon as possible after returning. The quality must be guaranteed to be last year's rice and noodles, without moisture, moths, etc. Otherwise, we may have to trouble everyone to come to the government office to talk to us again."

"Please rest assured, sir. This situation will never happen." Zhou Dongjia replied firmly.

Feng Yizhen and Chu Zeming looked at each other, and this time it was Chu Zeming's turn to make arrangements: "For the sake of convenience and cost saving, these grains don't need to be moved to the government office. Let them go directly to your store to collect them. Is it difficult?"

The four of them thought about it and Zhou Dongjia, who had the largest number, said, "It's not a big problem, but we're worried that if too many people come on the same day, it will cause crowding. We're also worried that the store won't have enough staff."

"Don't worry about that. The day after tomorrow, you will bring your store's seals here. We will assign the time for redemption according to the number of each person and the amount of goods you can provide every day, and let their families pick them up in batches with the tickets."

"That's a good idea, that's a good idea, sir, it's settled, we'll come on time the day after tomorrow morning. Now I'll say goodbye and go back to make preparations." Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Dongjia stood up first to say goodbye. The other three also stood up one after another.

"Thank you for your hard work, masters."

Chu Zeming and Feng Yizheng also stood up and watched them walk out of the door of the reception room of the government office one by one.

With a gloomy face, Zhang Dongjia followed the crowd out of the government office gate, listening to Zhou Dongjia and Yang Dongjia discussing in a low voice what happened this morning in front.

"I really didn't expect the princess to be so kind. To be honest, Brother Zhou and Brother Liu, when I first heard about this, I was thinking that I wouldn't be able to leave the gate of this government office without getting skinned alive today. Haha, I really didn't expect that not only did I not get skinned alive, but I also made a small profit." Boss Yang said with a laugh.

"Who said it wasn't? To be honest, we should thank Brother Liu for what happened today. He was the one who woke us up." Zhou Dongjia's eyes flashed, he turned his head and looked at Liu Dongjia who was walking on the left and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Brother Liu. I will host a gathering for everyone later." Boss Yang said with a smile, following up what Boss Zhou had said.

"No need to thank me. We should really thank the Princess and all the officials in the government office. We should pay more attention to this matter when we return and make sure we do it well." Boss Liu reminded them with a smile.

"Yes, yes, you must pay more attention. Thank you, Brother Liu, for your reminder. I will remember the favor you did me today. Brother Liu, Brother Zhou, Brother Zhang, goodbye."

"Thank you, Brother Liu. I'll take my leave now, everyone."

After talking, Zhou Dongjia and Yang Dongjia got into their own carriages. Before getting in, Liu Dongjia looked back at the gate of Liuzhou Prefecture's government office again, and became more determined in his inner thoughts.
