"Bring up the messenger."

Soon, the people at the foot of the mountain brought the messenger up. Because he had brought a valuable gift, the bandits at the foot of the mountain did not tie him up.

"Hello, gentlemen."

The person who came to deliver the letter was the owner of Xie's grain store. When he saw the boss and others, he did not tremble with fear, but clasped his fists towards them.

The boss narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

"who are you?"

"To answer the question, Boss, I am the owner of the Xie Family Grain Store."

The boss looked at the middle-aged man who was about forty years old, chopped the table in front of him with the sword in his hand, and asked again.

"What do you mean by sending these things?"

"To reply to the boss, this is a small gift from our Lord Xie's mansion. I hope you will accept it."

When everyone heard this, their brows frowned even more.

"A little thought?"

The other men also started cursing.

"Is the Third Master of your Lord Xie's Mansion only worth this much?"

"I'm afraid these things are not worth even ten thousand taels of silver, right?"

"What do you think of our village? Are you going to give these little things to beggars?"

"That's right, you guys are going too far."

Hearing these people's cursing, Shopkeeper Xie did not tremble with fear, but spoke to everyone again.

"This is just a small token of appreciation from Lord Xie's Mansion. We want to make friends with you all. As for the ransom, please name a price so that I can take the Third Master back safely. The Third Master is back this time not only to handle the business of Lord Xie's Mansion, but also to deal with important matters of the court..."

When the boss heard this, his face became even uglier.

"What's the court event?"

"You old man, I'm afraid you are trying to intimidate us."

"You're right, are you threatening us? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll kill you, Third Master."

Shopkeeper Xie listened to the crowd's shouting and cursing, and continued.

"I don't know if you have heard of Princess Chao'an. The Third Master is the Princess's third uncle. The Third Master is also in charge of the crops in Jiangnan. This spring, Jiangnan will have 100,000 kilograms of crops planted, and the harvest will be more than 20 million kilograms..."

what?

These people have heard of Princess Chao'an, and they also know that Princess Chao'an has made great contributions and has created three crops, which are now being planted in some places. In a few years, the people of Daxia may no longer have to suffer from hunger.

This Third Master Xie is actually the uncle of Princess Chao'an? He is also responsible for the cultivation of crops in Jiangnan?

The eldest and the other people looked at each other, and they felt even more guilty. If the market had not been bad recently, and if someone had not instigated them, they would not have attacked Third Master Xie of Lord Xie's mansion.

They are so damned!

This is Princess Chao'an's third uncle, from the century-old imperial merchant family, Lord Xie.

Although many merchants are black-hearted and take advantage of the people's hard work, it is different for Lord Xie's Mansion. Half of their earnings are handed over to the court, and 30 to 50 percent are given to the people every year.

Xie's pharmacy offers free medical consultation one day every month. When someone in their village gets sick, they go to Xie's pharmacy for medical consultation, and the fee is much cheaper than other pharmacies.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

"You go back first. We'll send someone to tell you after we've discussed it." The boss spoke.

"I want to see the Third Master first to make sure he's safe."
