Chapter 80: The Journey to the Sea 2

Yun Wei was a little confused when she heard Qi Yu approaching her, but she also vaguely knew what Qi Yu meant.

"I'll arrange the crime for him!"

Qi Yu whispered a few more words to Yun Wei, and Yun Wei ran away.

Qi Yu gave an order inside, "City Lord, there shouldn't be much food in the city!" Although there were no casualties in this flood, many farms were flooded and the harvest was lost. Nowadays, you can't just rely on the rice ...... the warehouse."

Qi Yu thought about it, but decided to let the city lord hide the matter to appease people's hearts. and borrowed some tall and strong young men from the lord of the city.

Qi Yu took those people to various rice shops in the city and asked them to hand over the rice in the name of borrowing rice.

"It will take a while for the disaster grain of the imperial court to be allocated layer by layer, so this king and the city lord proposed to borrow some grain, which is an IOU."

Although the boss was quite satisfied with the terms on the IOU, he thought that it was a famine, the price of rice had skyrocketed, and the rice in stock could be sold at sky-high prices......

"King Chu, you borrowed rice and brought so many thugs, do you want to buy and sell by force?"

The tall people behind Qi Yu looked difficult to deal with, what if they came to the hard side and swept the store away.

Qi Yu secretly scolded this unscrupulous trader in his heart, but his face was arrogant.

"Naturally, I won't force you, the city lord opened a warehouse to release grain, so that everyone can have food, and now there is not much food in the warehouse!"

The boss was happy, there was a lot of rice in the Honghai warehouse, and the city lord opened a warehouse to release grain, which made his rice shop business depressed, and if there was no grain, he would be developed.

But Qi Yu's next sentence made his heart tighten, "So this king wants to make decisions for the people." ”

The boss glanced at the strong men behind him and swallowed.

"I bought the rice you have here!"

Qi Yu put a silver ticket in front of him and shook it, and the boss's eyes lit up.

So much silver!

"Do you think this thousand taels is enough?"

"Enough is enough!" That's nearly tenfold!

The smile on the boss's face is very bright!

Qi Yu ordered those strong men to pack the rice and check it.

"Lord Wang, just now when we installed the rice on the scale, we found that there was a problem with this scale."

"How is that possible? I'm fine with this scale! ”

The boss was anxious, thinking stupidly that he hadn't changed the scale? How could it be wrong?

Qi Yu would not let him go, and arrested him to be convicted.

"So many people watching! There are all human and physical evidence, do you still want to quibble? ”

Only then did the boss realize that the outside of the store was full of people, all around there and pointing.

"Lord Wang, just let me go! I am not an official businessman, and I finally got the care of my relatives to sell rice here for a living, and I must not lose this job! ”

The boss didn't dare to make a mistake in front of so many people, so he lowered his voice and prayed to Qi Yu.

"It's okay if I help you hide it, but you have to sign this IOU and promise not to do such immoral things in the future."

The boss was busy with repeated assurances and happily signed the IOU.

Qi Yu glanced at the strong man, and the strong man weighed his scale again, looking very annoyed.

"The prince is a little clumsy, we have recorded all the rice and weighed it! Twenty stones in total, will you transport it away now? ”

Qi Yu nodded and asked them to load the rice onto the prepared cart.

"This time, I would like to thank the boss for your generosity! After a few days, the food from the court will be returned to you immediately! ”

Qi Yu casually put a piece of silver into the boss's hand, which was the interest on the borrowed rice as stated in the IOU set by Qi Yu, a total of ten taels of silver. Give those vendors ten taels as a benefit fee, so as not to make them feel at a loss.

"These ten taels are a little bit of the king's heart, thank you boss for borrowing rice to let us get through the difficulties, farewell!"

……

Qi Yu used this method to get a bunch of rice and used it to fill the granary.

Yun Wei was a little uneasy, "Qi Yu, you said that we borrowed rice here and broke their dream of making a fortune, will they hold a grudge?" ”

"Worried about what? Those criminals can't do anything to us and let them hold grudges. How could I, as a prince, be afraid of them? ”

Concern is chaos, which is used to describe Yunwei's current situation couldn't be better.

Yun Wei now admonished on the left and careful on the right, which really made Qi Yu feel a little strange.

"Wei'er, don't worry, it's just a little thing."

Yun Wei's head twitched, and he couldn't think of any detail that he had overlooked. I don't know why, I just feel like something is going to happen.

Sometimes a woman's self-consciousness is terrifying.

Even if Yunwei is in the sea now, he can still get the latest news.

It's not that she's studious, it's that she's been instilled with the habit of paying attention to current affairs since she was a child.

Although Yunwei is very arrogant, she is transparent about the current situation.

Yun Wei got the news of the death of the Beiyi monarch, and thought of the collapse of the Honghai Dam. It's like two stones colliding and sparks come out.

According to the alliance signed by the five countries, the new emperor of any one of them had to go to congratulate him on his accession to the throne. During this period, state affairs were generally managed by the crown prince or prince appointed by the emperor.

This gap is generally not unexpected, but the collapse of the Honghai Dam makes it somewhat interesting.

Honghai is located in the south, not far from Nanrong, if they come over, the first to occupy should be Honghai City.

It's no wonder that Yun Wei thinks that this area is in the south, and it is a little easterly geographically. Listening to the name of this city, it is not difficult to know that Honghai City is related to Honghai.

Indeed, the water held back by the Honghaicheng Dam comes from Honghai. At that time, the city lord connected several neighboring county towns to bring in the water of Honghai and dredged it.

This move made the people near Honghai not have to worry, because the water in Honghai was introduced into the river as soon as it rose.

Honghai City is the last stop on this river, and the Honghai Dam was built here to prevent the flooding of Honghai.

The digging of this canal can be regarded as cheapening the Qi country, and the financial resources of the Qi country have skyrocketed in the past ten years. The greatest credit is given to Honghai City.

Honghai City is the terminus of this canal and is the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River. It's a pity that the terrain is easy to attack and difficult to defend......

Yunwei was already a little sure that Nanrong's destination was Honghai City.

Yunwei told Qi Yu as soon as he had this idea, and Qi Yu also believed it, and told Qi Yijun by using the method of flying pigeons.

It's a pity that these pigeons send them some letters all day long, and the security is not very high, if they are accidentally caught by others, then the letters will be read by others.

However, it can only be passed on with flying pigeons, after all, the speed of trained pigeons is no joke.

Yunwei is even more abusive to the head of the pigeon, raising a few pigeons to let them fly around all day long.

Yunwei has a habit of keeping a pigeon for himself, this pigeon is the most properly trained and agile, as long as he smells it once, he can remember it, and he can use it to send messages to whomever he wants.

The other pigeons are secondary, and it can't be remembered too much in a short time, otherwise it is easy to be confused, and it is only used to give away.

For example, Hai Shujian has a pigeon sent by Yunwei, which is convenient for Hai Shujian to contact her, so that the two have been in correspondence.
