(Go to the net.)

When the carriage left the city, it was the hottest time of the day. Go and see the net. Even though it's covered by the walls, sitting in the car can still be overwhelmingly hot. The bright sunlight outside is particularly dazzling, there are few vehicles and pedestrians on the road, and the scenery in the distance is illusory due to the scorching heat. A gust of wind blew, mixed with a suffocating heat wave and billowing yellow sand.

"You two just wait outside for me, and I'll go in by myself. "When I finally came to the grove of my memory, I jumped out of the car impatiently, and listened intently, and there was a faint sound of the piano in the distance.

"Mother, let the slave accompany you. Ruyan also jumped out of the car and looked at the seemingly deep woods on the side, with no worries in her eyes.

"No, there shouldn't be any danger. I smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead: "Look at your heat, you two go to the side to find a shade to escape the heat, and I'll be back in a while." After admonishing them, I turned and walked towards the woods.

Trees are really good stuff, especially during the hot summer months. As soon as I entered, I felt a coolness that penetrated into the bone marrow, and the whole person's spirit couldn't help but be lifted. Greedily sucking in the fresh air, in the slightly dim shade of the trees, I walked in the direction from which the sound of the piano came.

The woods were huge, but I didn't hear any cicadas or birds chirping, which was a bit of a surprise. There is a thick layer of humus underfoot, and stepping on it is no different from stepping on cotton, without sound. In this silent world, the sound of the piano became clearer, the music seemed to have magical power, and the melancholy atmosphere contained in it made the mood darken.

The little white dot in his eyes gradually enlarged, and a long back figure wearing a dusty white robe, sitting cross-legged on the fence by the pavilion. The back arches slightly, revealing the piano placed in front of him. After the breeze, the low hanging corners of the clothes and the long hair between the temples flutter in the wind, like a person in a fairyland.

I stayed quietly behind him and listened to Qian Cong's wonderful performance. He played with great concentration, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into this sad tune. Just as the piece was about to reach its part, an untimely crunch sounded out of thin air, and the sound of the piano came to an abrupt end. Dong$Fang$ Qian Cheng slowly raised his head and let out a slight sigh.

"You're here. Qian Cong seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and while picking up the broken strings, he casually greeted me behind him, and it seemed that he had long known about my existence.

"Hmm. I replied unnaturally, and looked around, and the scenery around me didn't seem to change, except that the stream at my feet was quieter. Because of the lack of rainwater, the stream looks much thinner.

After connecting the strings, Qian Cong didn't look back, still sitting there, seemingly in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It seems to be a little deserted today, not as lively as last time. I sat down on the stone bench behind him, trying to find something to talk about: "What about the painters? I haven't seen them for so long, and I really miss them." ”

"They're all gone. Qian Cong's tone was a little low.

"Gone?" I asked, in amazement, where did they go?

"Retreat to the mountains and forests, forget the rivers and lakes. The retreat was gone, and they were gone, hehe, I was left alone. Qian Cong sighed, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said without self-deprecation.

Qian Cong's words made me speechless, and in a trance, I remembered Yuan Zhixun, who had already arrived in another world.

After a long silence, Qian Cong opened his mouth first, this time he seemed to have come out of the sad plot, and his tone became much lighter: "You came this time to raise food for disaster relief, right?"

"Yes. I replied mechanically, my brain spinning rapidly, wondering how I could successfully persuade Qian Cong to take out the food.

Qian Cheng turned around slowly, his delicate face seemed to be much haggard than before, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "Okay, within three days, I will prepare all the grain accumulated in Qian Ji, about more than 1.5 million stones, and sell them to the government." ”

I thought that Qian Cheng would prevaricate in every possible way, but I didn't expect that things would be solved so easily, and it almost made me feel a little unbelievable, although it seems that he is still serious, but for the sake of insurance, I still confirmed: "What you said is true?"

"Is this still false?" Seeing my unconvinced look, Qian Chong smiled helplessly, and then said: "Although businessmen are profitable, but I, Qian Chong, am also a person with a conscience, and at this juncture, I can't do things that violate my conscience." It's a pity that Qian Ji didn't hoard much grain before, and that's all there is to it. ”

"Enough is enough," after confirming Qian Cong's intentions, I couldn't help the ecstasy in my heart, and nodded busily and said, "So much food, enough for the victims to survive for a while." ”

In contrast, Qian Cong was not as optimistic as me, his face was a little gloomy, and after a little thought, he shook his head and said: "This drought has affected thousands of miles of land in the four prefectures of Hebei in the Central Plains, and there are many people affected by the disaster. ”

"Actually, I also have this kind of worry, but before the gentry in the capital hoarded grain, because there was no grain to sell in the market, they had the capital to raise the price to the government. Once you take the lead in spreading the news of grain sales to the government, they will definitely rush to make a move. "I explained my views to Qian Cong on this issue. Who knew that Qian Cong didn't seem to agree with my opinion, and still shook his head with a smile.

"Why, I said, what's wrong?" his reaction took me by surprise.

Qian Cheng raised his eyebrows and said: "Your theory is indeed very reasonable and feasible, but you have ignored a very important point, that is, the amount of grain needed in the market. ”

Seeing that I still didn't understand, Qian Cheng continued to explain to me patiently: "There is a huge gap in the market now, far from being able to make up for it with my 1.5 million stones, so after the gentry know this news, instead of putting grain, they will intensify their hoarding. ”

My heart sank suddenly, and then I realized the mistake I made when I was thinking, and I couldn't help but be a little discouraged, but seeing that Qian Cong still looked indifferent, he must have a clever trick, why not ask him for advice?

"The money shopkeeper operates the first money in the world, the rich one, the business methods are far better than the style of Tao Zhugong, at this time, please also look at the people of the world, do not hesitate to teach. "I've never liked to pat other people's ass, and as soon as I said this, I immediately got goosebumps. But in order to help Zhize get through this difficulty, he had to grit his teeth and stiffen up.

Qian Chong didn't seem to expect me to come to this trick, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately reacted, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "It's true that my family's money bank is one of the best, but it is still mainly based on gold and silver trading, and buying and selling grain is just a side business." In terms of strength, it is far inferior to those businessmen who specialize in the trading of grain and grass. ”

Seeing that my face was depressed, Qian Cong didn't say anything, and continued: "In my opinion, the top priority is that the imperial court needs to take the lead in persuading a large grain farmer to take the lead in releasing grain, and when the time comes, I will rise up and respond again, and it will definitely work." ”

"It's good that you can do this, but it won't work. I smiled bitterly and shook my head and replied: "Among the merchants in the capital, I only know you, and I don't have any friendship with other people, so I can't touch them at all." ”

"You can't do it, can't the emperor either. You must know that the most grain in the capital is several princes and ministers of the imperial family, as long as the emperor promises to give them some favors, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not release grain for disaster relief. "After listening to my words, Qian Chong didn't seem to understand, so I had to tell him what happened to the ministers of food raising and Zhize's decision.

"The emperor refuses to give favors, it's really a bit difficult to do now..."Qian Cong said to himself, his brows furrowed and he fell into deep thought.

"Look, can you come up with any other way?" I asked tentatively on the side, but the hope in my heart was very small, Qian Cong's analysis was very reasonable, only his little food was not enough to alleviate the urgent need. If it really doesn't work, I went back to persuade Zhize and asked him to stop being stubborn, but he can't affect the safety of the people in the world because of his momentary emotions.

"Fortunately, we have always been very strict with confidential information, and there seems to be another way. Qian Cong's words ignited the enthusiasm in my heart again, and I almost jumped with joy. Qian Cheng whispered a few words in my ear, and I immediately smiled, gave him a thumbs up, and said yes in a row.

"I think you're doing a good job, so I'll go back and let them get ready first. "After getting Qian Cong's clever plan, I immediately started to get busy.

"Go ahead. Qian Cong still looked pampered and unfazed, smiling at me and nodding.

Just a few steps away, I suddenly remembered that there was another question, and then secretly scolded myself, only blaming myself for being patronized and happy just now, I actually forgot such an important question, and quickly turned around and walked back.

"I was so happy to be there just now, and I almost forgot about business. Qian Cong still stood in place, looking at me with interest, I scratched my head embarrassedly and said: "You have helped me and the emperor so much, and I don't know how to thank you, if you have any conditions, just mention it, I will go back and tell the emperor, and the emperor will definitely agree." ”

The reason why I dare to say so sure is because I understand that Qian Cong is a smart person, and he will definitely not mention it if he asks too much. Sure enough, Qian Cong just smiled, with an indifferent look on his face: "You and I are talking about business, you just need to hand over the money of 1.5 million stone grain to me according to last year's grain price, and I don't dare to hope for anything else." ”

Last year's grain price, as soon as Qian Cong's words came out, I couldn't help but be secretly surprised, to say that last year's grain price was not high, and now the grain price in the Jingshi area has already reached three times that of last year, if it is really according to what he said, it seems that it is too indebted to others.

"Where is this," I hurriedly waved my hand and said: "You can do such a great favor to the imperial court, and the imperial court can't take advantage of you, so let's do it, or convert it according to the current price of grain, and you can't lose too much." ”

"It's not a loss," Qian Cong leaned on the pavilion pillar with one hand, looked at me without turning his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "I know it in my own heart." ”
