Several days passed!
The chickens and ducks sent from Tong County Yun were actually endless. The butlers in the capital were all dumbfounded.
He originally thought that these chickens and ducks were only temporary, but he never expected that these chickens and ducks would be transported over in an endless stream. Every day, these waiters would transport the chickens and ducks over and sell them at the market. Then, they would deposit the silver into Heshen's bank.
Every day, he only needed to bring the silver back.
This way, it was convenient.
Although Liu Hao had the intention to produce paper money, it was still a little difficult for him to produce paper money for the time being.
However, Liu Hao was not in a hurry. The most important thing now was to let these refugees survive and bring him enough wealth.
The Imperial Residence!
In the past few days, Wang Jie found that his wife, Madam Yang, would make him a bowl of duck soup every day.
Today, Wang Jie realized that his dinner was actually duck.
Wang Jie couldn't help but frown." Chrysanthemum Immortal, why have you been cooking chicken and ducks for every meal these days?" Although I'm an official of the imperial court, the imperial court still has to pay for the silver. Our family has more than ten people, so it's not good to be so extravagant!”
Wang Jie had been an honest official all his life. Other than his own salary, he did not have much extra income.
Seeing that chickens and ducks had been going on for the past few days, he could not help but frown.
"My Lord Wang!" Madam Yang had a faint smile on her face. Then, she slowly opened her mouth and said,"Don't worry. You're an official of the imperial court, so you naturally don't know the prices of goods in the market!”
"Oh?"
Wang Jie could not help but be slightly stunned. He could not help but say,"How are the prices?"
In the market, the prices of chickens and ducks were dropping. In the past, each chicken and duck cost one tael of silver. Now, it only cost seven taels of silver. If they bought two together, it would only cost one tael of silver.
"Moreover, the price of these chickens and ducks has dropped, but the chickens and ducks are extremely fat. One duck is enough for us to eat for two to three days!”A faint smile hung on Madam Yang's face.
"Oh?" A puzzled expression appeared on Wang Jie's face.""How can the price of these chickens and ducks be so cheap?”
"I've heard that these people were all refugees who fled to the capital!”"However, after these refugees arrived in the capital, the Imperial Court ordered them to gather and farm together!”
"What?"
Wang Jie naturally knew about this matter. He was the one who requested the imperial court to provide relief to the disaster victims.
Wang Jie understood that the problem of refugees was not something that could be solved by farming. At the same time, Wang Jie was certain that if the court took out the silver, He Shen would be greedy again.
However, what Wang Jie did not expect was…
It seemed that He Shen had settled this matter?
For a moment, Wang Jie frowned. He had a feeling that there was something he didn't know.
"Where are they?" Wang Jie could not help but ask.
"They seem to be in Tong County!" Madam Yang quickly said," Yesterday, someone from Tong County said that they can provide us with these ducks in the future. They will deliver them to our door every month for ten taels of silver. There are a total of twenty-five ducks. We can also exchange them for chickens!“
"Ten taels of silver a month, giving twenty-five or delivering them to your door?”Wang Jie was slightly stunned for a moment and could not help but say,"Is this a joke?"
Madam Yang slowly said," That's right. Nowadays, even the seventh-grade officials in the capital go to Tong County to order ducks. Their chickens and ducks are abnormally fat and delicious. Moreover, they are in large quantities. It can be said that they are in short supply!”
Wang Jie picked up the duck soup and took a sip. The taste was not bad, especially the thigh in the bowl. One look and it was enough to arouse one's appetite.
At this moment, countless questions surfaced in Wang Jie's mind.
How did He Shen deal with these refugees?
This was not a few hundred people, but thousands, or even tens of thousands.
Wang Jie himself couldn't think of any solution. The best solution was to reclaim the wasteland. However, this wasn't something that could be done overnight.
"Master!" Madam Yang slowly opened her mouth and said," You see, should we also make a reservation? I've calculated it. Master, your salary is more than enough. The food in our residence can also be improved, right?”
Wang Jie took a deep breath and slowly said,""You can handle the matters in the residence. I have to go to Tong County to investigate this person later!”
Investigate in Tong County?
Madam Yang was slightly taken aback, while Wang Jie said indifferently,""Alright, you don't have to care about the matters in the imperial court!”
"Yes, sir!"
Madam Yang opened her mouth but decided to keep it shut.
Wang Jie would not mention the matters of the imperial court to the Yang Consortium, but at this moment, he had countless doubts in his heart.
……
Tong County Duck became popular in the entire capital.
In an instant, the prices of chickens and ducks in the entire capital began to plummet. Even if it was half a tael of silver, no one would buy it.
The Tongxian duck is two or three times bigger than your duck. Why should I buy yours at the same price?
Other than that, you have to give Heshen face.
After these officials found out that the ducks in Tong County were related to He Shen, each family head arranged for their servants to buy them. They were cheap and had sufficient quantity.
On one hand, he could flatter Heshen, and on the other hand, this duck was really not bad.
Why not?
How many officials were there in the capital?
There were at least a few thousand of them, ranging from a first-grade official, an iron hat king, to a small tax envoy, an unranked official, who was in charge of collecting taxes.
These people all had very strong spending power.
After the prices of chickens and ducks dropped, they could immediately afford to spend money and even deliver them to your door. Of course, you had to pay for the delivery.
Of course, this money was not for the courier, but for Liu Hao. To be more precise, it was for the Tongxian Express that Liu Hao established.
Liu Hao was in charge of delivering the packages and paying the workers.
In this way, it was naturally faster to absorb these refugees. Other than that, Tongxian Express also helped run errands. If you needed to shop or buy anything, you could ask for it when you came to your door and run errands for you.
In just half a month, the income of the entire Tong County had already reached 100,000 taels of silver.
A portion of it was the ducks that were sold, and the other portion was the advance payment.
This number even exceeded Liu Hao's previous calculations.
The ducks of Tongxian County were all over the capital!
