It turned out that He Haichao had only been in office for three years.

During the reign of the previous governor, he had already sold almost all the grain reserves in Jiangning City.

Before He Haichao took office, although he had also checked various accounts, how could he see the hands and feet of these people so easily?

In the past three years, all the wealthy families in Jiangning City have come to look for He Haichao, only saying that before the previous governor left office, he bought tens of thousands of loads of grain from them, and agreed to return it when it expired, in addition, there were different amounts of interest.

These rich families all have a basis for the government to buy, but in the end, not only do these rich families not have to pay taxes, but the government still owes them money!

Hearing this, Lu Yunxi was even more annoyed!

I have long heard of the collusion between officials and businessmen in Jiangning City, but I didn't expect it to come to such a point.

"Is there a Yun family?" Lu Yunxi suddenly remembered something, stared at Si Tingyan and asked.

Si Tingyan shook his head, "Grandfather has always been very principled in this matter. He resolutely did not allow the Yun family to do such things that harmed others and themselves. In addition to the taxes that should be paid every year, there will even be some subsidies for the imperial court. ”

Lu Yunxi calmed down.

She should have thought a long time ago, who was her grandfather?

He is the most merciful and kind, and so wise and wise, how can he be in the same league with these people?

"What about Lord He, I want to see him. ”

Si Tingyan glanced Lu Yunxi up and down with a little surprise, and then led her to the backyard.

He Haichao was anxious and paced back and forth in the house.

Outside the government, how many refugees opened their mouths, waiting to eat, but the government couldn't get a grain of food.

He has already sent a lot of people to the homes of various wealthy families in Jiangning to ask if there is any surplus food that can help the government pass this hurdle, even if it is repaid twice as much later, he will admit it.

However, those rich people who used to wish that the government could come to their door to beg them are now closed.

Only a few families who are willing to receive it also let out the word that unless it is five times the return, they will never contribute food and money.

These rich people are simply robbery!

He Haichao has no way to do it now.

He had already ordered someone to go to Nangong's house, wanting to see if Nangong Long could help him.

The reason why he didn't alarm the Yun family was that He Haichao knew that the Yun family was also a mess now, not to mention that Si Tingyan had arranged for the people of the Xinglin Pavilion to treat the refugees immediately last night, and he didn't charge a fee, which could be regarded as acting on behalf of the Yun family.

Why did he go back to alarming?

At this time, seeing Lu Yunxi coming to the house, He Haichao was surprised and delighted.

Lu Yunxi saluted and said in a low voice, "Lord He, is there any difficulty that the Yun family can help?"

When He Haichao heard this, he showed a little joy.

Immediately, he lowered his head helplessly, waved his hand slightly, and said softly, "That's it." The Yun family is also in a mess now, where can you be busy with these things anymore?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Yunxi immediately said, "The Yun family is a part of Jiangning City, and the Yun family can have today, all of which rely on the people of Jiangning City to take care of it." If the Yun family can't contribute money and efforts at this moment, won't there be no place for them in Jiangning City in the future? Lord He just told me how much food, how much silver, and how many people were still missing. As long as it is owned by the Yun family, it will be served immediately. ”

He Haichao was grateful, and his eyes twitched.

If Lu Yunxi was not a daughter, He Haichao wanted to pounce on her and give her a hug.

He restrained the excitement in his heart, rubbed his hands in front of him, licked the corners of his slightly chapped lips, tilted his head, looked at Lu Yunxi tentatively, coughed softly twice, and then said in a low voice, "It is conservatively estimated that Jiangning City is now short of 10,000 quintals of grain." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yunxi nodded slightly.

She summoned Red Aya and whispered a few words.

Seeing Hong Aya leave quickly, Si Tingyan said in a deep voice, "Xi'er, what can you do?"

"When my grandfather was alive, he would hoard a little food every year. I told Hongya to check and see how much there was left in the Yun family's granary. Open the granary first. If the granary is not enough, then the grain that is still being sold in the various grain stores will be moved out for disaster relief. ”

He Hai's eyes were flushed, and he was excited.

But Si Tingyan thought of Lu Yunxi's difficulties for the first time.

"If you want to open a position, do you have to discuss with the other heads of the Yun family? otherwise, if they are embarrassed, what will they do in the future?"

When He Haichao heard this, he couldn't help but worry.

Lu Yunxi smiled indifferently, "When something like the third uncle happens, those heads of the Yun family are too busy to take care of themselves, for fear that if they are not careful, they will not miss a good opportunity to show their loyalty by opening a warehouse and releasing grain." What's more, even if they don't allow it, I have a way to shut them up. Lord He, just rest assured. ”

He Haichao rubbed his two hands, his eyes were red, the tip of his nose was sore, he hurriedly bowed down, bowed to Lu Yunxi, and said softly, "Thank you, Miss Lu." When Jiangning City passes this pass, I will definitely report to the imperial court and ask for credit for the Yun family. ”

Lu Yunxi hurriedly held He Haichao's shoulders and shook his head, "Lord He is asking for the people's life, and we, as businessmen, should naturally help." Why should Lord He be so polite?"

Si Tingyan looked at Lu Yunxi's side face, and his heart was mixed for a while.

It seemed that overnight, he saw that Lu Yunxi, who was only thinking about his small business, suddenly became a different person.

He had mixed feelings in his heart.

Happily, Lu Yunxi has changed so much, it is really rare for a woman.

The worry is that in this way, Lu Yunxi's burden will be much heavier than others, and I don't know if she can afford it.

Thinking of this, Si Tingyan grabbed Lu Yunxi's slender wrist and asked her to sit on the side, "You are still pregnant, take a rest first." It's not too late to talk about it after the red silk counts. ”

Lu Yunxi agreed and sat on the high chair on the side.

It took two hours for Hong Aya to come back with Steward Yun.

Both of them were sweating hot and panting.

"Miss, it's counted. is to open the warehouse and put grain, plus the grain in the grain store today, it is only 5,000 quintals. ”

Before the Yun Steward family could stand firm, they replied eagerly.

"Five thousand quintals. ”

Lu Yunxi pursed her lower lip, couldn't help lowering her head, clasped her hands together, and thought for a moment, "What if you buy grain?"

"Miss, the price of other people's grain has already risen to five or six times, and we have lost more than the price of five thousand quintals of grain when we buy grain at this time. ”

"Let's go buy it first. ”

When Steward Yun heard this, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

But looking at Lu Yunxi's determined look, he could only reluctantly agree.

Steward Yun had just left the hall when he was stopped by someone.
