After Peng Ze finished greeting, he quietly stood behind Wang Ce.

"Hello Uncle Tang!" When they were on Changshan Island, Tang Yuan and his wife knew about these teenagers beside Xu Chen.

"Iron Bull!" Tang Yuan's face showed a little joy, but it disappeared quickly.

Wang Ce didn't hear it, and said with a smile: "Uncle Tang, now I am no longer called Tie Niu, my eldest brother changed my name, and now my name is Wang Ce." ”

"Wang Ce, good name!" Tang Yuan still smiled a little.

After Wang Zhun finished asking, he stood aside, looking coldly at the greetings between several people, but the chill on his face became heavier and heavier. For this reason, there was a guard beside him who couldn't look at him, and he stood up for the master: "Iron bull? Haha! Where is the hillbilly!"

The name "Iron Bull" does sound a bit rustic, but Wang Ce, who was born in poverty, cherishes everything he has ever owned, and the name is the same, so he will naturally not be happy.

Therefore, Wang Ce turned around and looked at Wang Zhun. Hitting a dog to see the owner, Wang Ce naturally will not waste time on a dog.

"Who are you?" counting just now, this is the second time Wang Zhun asked.

At this time, it is not interesting to pretend to be stupid, so Wang Ce did not pretend to be stupid.

"When you come to the store, you are naturally a guest!"

Wang Zhun was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face became even worse: "Guest?

"No more business, Uncle Tang, is there one?" Wang Ce turned his head and glanced at Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan shook his head.

Then, Wang Ce smiled and looked at Wang Zhun.

Then, Wang Zhun laughed even more: "Hahahaha......"

Then, he stared at Peng Ze and said word by word: "You! are very arrogant!"

Wang Ce shrugged, with a hint of innocence, and defended: "But I think I've always been very low-key!"

Wang Zhun felt that the other party was very tough, and naturally it could be said to be arrogant. He believes that this tough attitude should stem from the other party's lack of understanding of his identity. For this reason, he felt the need to introduce this group of ignorant people, although he did not usually like such introductions.

It's not that he dislikes his identity, on the contrary, it is precisely because he cares about his identity and is proud of his identity that he cannot tolerate the presence of those who do not know, because it will ruthlessly reveal that his identity is not as influential as he imagined.

Yes, he was proud, but he was deeply apprehensive, and ...... Inferiority! Pride is because his father is a king, and anxiety and inferiority are also because his father is a king. This may sound a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it's actually easy to understand, or find a similar alternative to better understand. His father is Wang Jie, a high-ranking official, and he has a lot of power, so he is very proud! But his father's power is not the greatest, especially in Chang'an City, which is full of vermilion and purple, so he can't help but feel a little apprehensive and even inferior.

It can also be seen from here that Wang Zhun is not a pure second ancestor who does not know the importance of it.

"My name is Wang Zhun, my father is Wang Jie, and he is the head of the household!" Wang Zhun was full of pride, and of course he also had expectations, because although he did not introduce himself many times in this way, whenever he said these few words, there would always be some pictures that he liked to see.

Unfortunately, not this time!

"Wang Zhun, Wang Zhun, who have never heard of it!" Wang Ce really hadn't heard of it, so his serious shaking of his head made Wang Zhun feel more and more angry and lost.

Wang Zhun took a deep breath and gathered some patience again: "Who are you?"

In the same words, the meaning is a little different, and Cheng dù is more intense.

Wang Ce nodded slightly: "If you can ask three times, you have to be more patient than I thought!"

"Hehe!" the corners of Wang Zhun's mouth trembled, and he sneered: "It's a pity, my patience is not enough!"

"So what?" Wang Ce tilted his head and glanced at him.

Wang Zhun is as he said, patience is really not enough!

"So, if you can't find a good reason, then I will keep my promise just now!" Although it is very old-fashioned to say this, Wang Zhun looked at Wang Ce and the others, and indeed used the eyes of the dead. Yes, Wang Zhun has seen dead people, and there are quite a few!

Wang Ce rolled his eyes and asked with some confusion: "Is it a promise that we can't get out?"

"Hmph!" Wang Zhun did not answer, but expressed his meaning with his actions.

With a wave of his hands, the guards who came with him swarmed up, ready to make a move!

Wang Ce came to Beijing this time, in addition to Peng Ze, Zhang Ming and others, he also brought a team of 100 people, led by Zhang Li, a young man who had fallen into the water in the water battle with Kong Ke and them.

Yes! In the context of the food crisis, a whole ship, tens of thousands of stones of grain was obviously an incomparably huge temptation, so Xu Chen withdrew one-third of his troops.

Of course, since Lao Zhoukang arrived in Shengzhou, he has not been idle, and according to the method in Yuzhang, he selected street orphans for training. Now that a few months have passed, the first batch of people is also available, and Xu Chen can arrange enough manpower!

Although there are only five teenagers who followed Wang Ce to Dongshi, they are all veterans, and the formation is one, and it is not a problem to deal with a few gangsters from local ruffians.

As for the middle-aged guard who seemed to be a master, he had Peng Ze on top of him, and besides, the identity of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Ce really didn't care!

Your father is a squire, and my teacher is still the prime minister!

So, the confrontation soon formed!

Therefore, as the leader, Wang Ce retreated to the back and left the "battlefield" to Zhang Li.

It's just that compared to the guards who showed off their might on Wang Zhun's side, the young men seemed a little calm, calmly taking off the package on their backs, and calmly taking out the familiar blades......

It's just that Tang Yuan's shop pù is really a little narrow, and the formation can't be opened.

Therefore, after Zhang Li took out his blade, he did not unfold it, but asked Wang Zhun behind the guard opposite: "The place is too small......! Going outside?"

Zhang Li's expression was a little funny, but no one in the store wanted to laugh at the moment.

The middle-aged guard felt the horror contained in the young man's calmness, so he hid Wang Zhun strictly behind him, and the knife was out of the sheath!

"Hey, I'm serious! The owner of this shop is an acquaintance of us, and it's not good to break something!" Zhang Li said seriously, ignoring the tense atmosphere.

"What's more...... It would be even worse if Miss Tang saw this bloody scene and looked back and felt that we were too violent!" This sentence was added by Zhang Li himself, but he felt that this was the most high-level sentence he said today!

Just kidding! If the eldest brother is not here, don't you have to rely on the brothers to maintain the image of the eldest brother as "Wei Guangzheng"!

Heroes save beauty, you can! But, bloody violence, it's not beautiful!

Wang Zhun couldn't understand Zhang Li's thoughts so much, so he didn't speak, didn't say a word.

"Alas, okay, then I can only beat you out!" Zhang Li saw that his proposal was not adopted by the other party, so he had to shake his head and sigh.

Unfortunately, just as the battle was about to begin, another person came to disrupt the situation!

Outside Tang Yuan's shop, there were actually many people from afar. It is the nature of Chinese people to watch the excitement, Wang Dagongzi vs. outsiders, such a lively scene is enough to attract many people!

Although I was afraid of Wang Gongzi's obscenity, I didn't dare to watch closely, but I was far away, and I wasn't afraid that Wang Gongzi would come to the door, right?

So when the old housekeeper in Xu Fan's mansion came to find him, he sped up his pace when he saw the whispering spectators.

"Iron Bull!" the old butler finally caught up in time!

"Uncle Xu!"

As soon as Wang Ce saw the people outside the door, how could he care about Wang Zhun's side, walked two steps quickly, and rushed to Xu Bo: "How did you find this?"

"Hehe, there is such a strange giant ship on the Chang'an Wharf, and now it has already spread in the city! After the lord got the news, he guessed that it was you who came, and when he thought that you didn't come to the house first, he must have come here!" Xu Bo looked at Wang Ce with a smile: "By the way, what about Xiao Chenzi?

Wang Ce was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Big brother didn't come! I wanted to go to the teacher's house as soon as I got ashore, but I didn't just stop by here in Dongshi......!

Xu Bo naturally saw the situation in the store at a glance, but he didn't care!

Wang Zhun is just that, he didn't do it anyway, even if he did, Uncle Xu didn't care!

Therefore, it was only at this time that Xu Bo pointed to the inside of the store and asked Wang Ce, "This is ......?"

"Hehe, it's an accident!" Wang Ce smirked twice.

Xu Bo nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew.

Then, he walked into the store, came to Wang Zhun and his group, and nodded at Wang Zhun: "Prince Wang!"

For this old man, maybe Wang Zhun wouldn't have looked at it a few months ago, but since Xu Fanbai was in charge of the household department and became his father's top boss, Wang Zhun had to know this mediocre-looking old man!

"Steward Xu!" Wang Zhun bowed slightly, and his attitude was more respectful than that of Uncle Xu.

"This is my master's student!" Uncle Xu didn't say anything, and just used one sentence to make Wang Zhun understand what he needed to understand.

Wang Zhun naturally understood!

"Oh...... It turned out to be Xu Xiang's doorman!Under Wang Zhun, it was rude!" Although the smile on his face was a little unnatural, Wang Zhun still quickly changed his expression, making his smile appear as gentle as possible.

Wang Ce smiled and also replied: "It turned out to be Wang Gongzi, I have been looking up for a long time!"

"Haha! I just remembered that there were still some things at home, so I would lose my company today! Another day! I will definitely invite Brother Wang to have a good gathering another day! Haha!" After Wang Zhun finished speaking, he beckoned his men and prepared to retreat.

Wang Ce also smiled, and at the same time waved his hand to let the teenagers close the team.

A moment later, Wang Zhun walked away.

"Okay, it's over, come home with me! The carriage is outside!" Xu Bo said to Wang Ce and the other teenagers.

Wang Ce nodded, returned to the store and explained a few words to Peng Ze, and after saying goodbye to Tang Yuan, he led several teenagers into Uncle Xu's carriage.

Xu Fan's Prime Minister's Mansion was also in Buzhengfang, and it didn't take long to pass from Dongshi.

"What about people!

Before Wang Ce and the others sat down in the living room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Fan rushed from the inner room in a hurry, and shouted loudly before entering the door.

"Teacher!" Wang Ce saluted respectfully.

Xu Fan, who entered the living room, carefully glanced at several teenagers, and then took another look. Actually, just a few people, how can you watch it a second time! It's just that Xu Fan is disappointed!

"What about people?" so Xu Fan asked again.

Wang Ce raised his head and asked suspiciously, "Teacher, who are you talking about?"

"Who else can there be! Of course it's your good big brother!What about Xu Chen? Where did he die?" Xu Fan couldn't care about anything calm at this time!

"Big brother...... Still in Shengzhou......" Wang Ce looked at the teacher's appearance that was about to explode at any time, and said thoughtfully.

"What? This damn stinky boy! He made such a big disaster, and now he doesn't come! What does he want to do? What does he want to do?" Xu Fan roared urgently, but fortunately he also knew the severity and didn't say anything.

For this reason, Shi Nanting and Ming Xuan, who followed Xu Fan, were only surprised why the proprietor was so out of shape today, but did not get more information.

Xu Fan has been having a hard time these days! This can be clearly seen from the obvious increase in gray hair on his head, as well as the deep dark circles under his eyes, haggard eyes, and sloppy outfit!

Since An Lushan and the Yang family who had visited Yang Shenjin left, the news of the lack of food in the capital began to spread. At the beginning, the household department naturally tried its best to clarify, but it didn't take long for the news of the new Jiedu envoy from Fanyang to raise food on a large scale, although An Lushan was in the name of raising military food, but it didn't take long for someone to spread that An Lushan did this in order to sell grain to the household department.

What is the location of the household department? The whole world has all the money and grain gathered here! I have never heard of the household department still need to buy grain!

At first, no one believed it, but then the price of Fanyang's grain rose day by day, and even those who didn't believe it had to think about the problem of eating for their own family.

Not long afterward, news came from Yangzhou that the south had missed spring plowing this year and had no grain to deliver, and then naturally there were waves of rising grain prices.

At this point, the situation is out of control!

Food is no better than land, the land is always there, and for those who own land, it is just a loss of money. But food is a daily necessity!

So the rumors spread very quickly, and the panic intensified.

After getting the news, Xuanzong Li Longji severely reprimanded Xu Fan in front of hundreds of civil and military officials at the court meeting, and ordered him to find a countermeasure immediately.

But as the saying goes, "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", the south mistakenly ploughed spring, that is, there is a real shortage of grain, even if the big households do not see the opportunity to store grain, this year's Datang grain is also lacking!

This...... What do you want Xu Fan to do?

Xu Fan had no choice but to raise grain from all over the country to ensure that Chang'an was not chaotic, and on the other hand, he tried his best to crack down on the grain storage behavior of large households, and after killing several wealthy families by bloody and brutal means, the situation in Chang'an did not deteriorate too much.

Now Chang'an City Doumi is one hundred and twenty Wen, I don't know how many heads are buried behind this price, and how much effort Xu Fan has!

However, the law of the market will not change in the slightest because of the toughness of the administrative means, the lack of food, the demand has increased sharply, even if there is no one to store grain, with the reduction of grain in Chang'an City, the price will still continue to rise!

At this point, Xu Fan has no way at all!

And the source of this qiē can be said to have been made by his good apprentice!

Thinking about it now, this kid can make such a big move, I'm afraid that he must have expected this situation at the beginning, even if he didn't have it at the beginning, in the later stage, the abandoned cultivated land outside Yuzhang City will be ignored by others, but Xu Fan believes that that stinky boy will never be ignored!

Therefore, now, Xu Fan pinned his hopes on his apprentice who seemed to be omnipotent and the initiator!

Wang Ce saw that the teacher was about to break out more violently, so he hurriedly said a word loudly, and this sentence made Xu Fan quiet!

"Big brother didn't come, but the food came!"

"What? Who did you say was coming?" Those two words have been tormenting Xu Fan mercilessly these days, so Xu Fan, who has long been sensitive to him, is sure that he will not hear it wrong.

But that's why he needs to make sure again.

Fortunately, Wang Ce didn't let him wait for a long time: "Grain! I brought food!"

"How much grain did you bring?" After getting the confirmation, Xu Fan rushed over with an arrow step, grabbed Wang Ce's hand, and kept asking, "How much? How much food?"

"One...... 10,000 stones!" Wang Ce struggled to break free from the teacher's strong hands, stretched out a finger, and gestured.

"What? 10,000 stones, where is it?" Xu Fan's eyes were red, although 10,000 stones of grain could not solve all the problems, it was enough to relieve the tension in Chang'an City!

In today's Chang'an City, ordinary people may just feel that it is difficult to buy food, but Xu Fan, who is in the upper echelons, has already noticed a dark tide brewing in the shadows of the wealthy family.

If there is no turnaround, I am afraid that Chang'an City will have great changes!

"It's on the boat at the dock!" Wang Ce said.

"Is this true?" Xu Fan asked again.

Wang Ce nodded hurriedly.

"Impossible! How is it possible? Not to mention that the entire Tang Dynasty is short of grain now, and there is no way to find so much grain! Even if there is really so much grain, how can it be transported here? You seem to have just come to a boat, right? I have never heard of any ship that can hold 10,000 stone of grain!" Before Xu Fan could speak, the monk Mingxuan behind him could no longer help but refute.

Wang Ce could feel the faint hostility in the young monk's words, so Wang Ce was very strange and wondered in his heart, "Do we know each other?"

Facing Wang Ce's puzzled eyes, Ming Xuan turned his head and said to Shi Nanting: "Brother Nanting, have you heard that there is a ship that can hold 10,000 stones of grain?"

Shi Nanting didn't know why Ming Xuan was hostile to this young man, but he still shook his head, it wasn't that he and Ming Xuan stood together, but that he really hadn't heard of a ship that could carry so many cargo!

Wang Ce didn't explain, and he didn't bother to explain: "Teacher, let's go to the dock and have a look!"

"Okay!

After speaking, Xu Fan couldn't wait to pull Wang Ce out of the door, and Ming Xuan and Shi Nanting naturally followed.

……

At this moment, the distant city of Shengzhou.

In Xu Chen's farm, Lu Hao looked at the north and muttered, "I hope the third child can arrive soon!"

"Count the days, they should have arrived! From Dengzhou to the Yellow River, through the Wei River to Chang'an, at the speed of a flying scissor sailboat, they should have arrived!" Lu Hao's words were said to Xu Chen beside him, so Xu Chen naturally replied.

"It's good to arrive!" Lu Hao's words were filled with deep exhaustion.

Xu Chen smiled: "The new ship has been launched, and when Zheng Tai returns, there will be three ships to go to the South Seas, at this speed, it won't take a few trips, and the lack of grain in the spring ploughing in the south will be replenished!"

Lu Hao turned around and faced Xu Chen: "But there will be a war next!

Lu Hao's eyes were a little sharp, Xu Chen had to avoid it, and smiled awkwardly: "It's okay! Just let Zheng Tai run two more times, anyway, that kid can't wait to sleep on the boat all day......"

Xu Chen also knew that his words didn't have much effect, so he gradually quieted down.
