"Yes, young master, I think you also know that not only the northwest was hit by a snow disaster, but also the south of the Yangtze River was flooded last year, the grain harvest dropped sharply, and the entire Chengqi country was short of food, where did you let us buy so much grain." The other Mo Master said disapprovingly.

When it came to buying food, a group of old guys all shook their heads and sighed when they heard this, looking helpless.

"The kid knows that the entire Chengqi country is short of food, but the kid also knows that with the strength of our Liangqu Villa, as long as you want to do it, you can still buy 50,000 taels of gold for grain, and I also ask the elders and the principals to do a favor."

The scene in front of him had long been expected by him, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry to consult with them, and just give the order to go down.

"Young master, this is not a matter of whether you can help or not, but you can't help, if the current emperor knows that we are wantonly buying grain and disrupting the grain trade of Chengqi Country, it will be detrimental to our villa." Elder Qiu, who was the most senior, said worriedly, implying that he didn't want to help him.

"However, the kid has already promised others, you can't be a person who doesn't believe in your word, and I hope that the elders and the master will be successful." No, although he is a young owner, he is only twenty years old, and in front of these old people who have become fine, he can only put away his sharpness and beg in a low voice.

"I think, even if the owner of the village does this again, he will not agree to you, you still refuse the others, it is really not good, just return the things of the others, at most the old man will compensate you for a plaything." Elder Qiu discussed it with the others, and finally said to Jin Han.

"However, I have damaged it. I can't give it back. If he hadn't promised her not to leak the matter, he would have wanted to take out the fruit powder for these old fellows to taste, then he wouldn't have to make excuses, and he wouldn't have begged so lowly.

"If it's broken, it's broken, what's the big deal, it's not that we can't afford to pay for Liangqu Villa, just pay him." A director surnamed Wang waved his hand very arrogantly and said.

"However, I bought this object privately, and the boy can't afford to pay for it. I can't let the government help me lose money. Jin Han suppressed his temper and whispered.

"Director Li is right. Although 50,000 taels of gold is a bit more expensive, our Liangqu Villa can still afford to pay for it, you are the young master, and this 50,000 taels of gold can still be called. The public will pay for you. It's better than a thankless rush to buy food. A few others listened. Although the flesh hurts, he still said to him with a loving face.

"Actually, the reason why the kid promised the other party to help buy food. I just feel that now that the people in the northwest have suffered a disaster, you can already see a large number of people leaving their homes on the road, begging along the way to find a way to live, and even seeing people starving to death, if there is no large amount of food supply, there will definitely be countless people starving to death. Jin Han argued.

"That's true, but the matter of disaster relief should be solved by the imperial court, not by us trying to buy food." Elder Sun spoke again.

"But the kid heard that the imperial court doesn't seem to have any intention of sending people to provide disaster relief, and besides, the treasury is empty, and the imperial court has no ability to provide disaster relief." Jin Han didn't want to give up, and his words gradually sharpened, "Besides, this northwest is the foundation of our Liangqu Villa, if too many people starve to death, it will not only be bad for our Villa, but also inconsistent with the ancestral teachings." ”

"What do you say about the ancestral teachings, will those of us who are a lot of age not know the ancestral teachings? Do you want you to sue us here? The king looked at him very dissatisfiedly and said.

"That is, although this ancestral training said that when we encounter difficulties in the northwest, our Liangqu Villa should take the initiative to help those people, but the difficulties mentioned in the ancestral training refer to the invasion of foreign enemies, not the disaster." Director Li seemed to be afraid that Jin Han would misunderstand, so he immediately explained to him.

"However, the ancestral teachings did not indicate that they specifically referred to the time of war, so the current situation is in line with the ancestral teachings." Jin Han still didn't retreat, and his face returned to his usual coldness, "Besides, now, it's not that we are asked to pay to buy grain, but just to help people transport the grain back, when did our Liangqu Villa become so timid?" ”

"Our Liangqu Villa is indeed not afraid of anyone or anything, but we must also judge the situation and not do those meaningless things regardless of it, otherwise, how can our Liangqu Villa continue safely for thousands of years? Jin Han, you are the young owner of the villa, and you should take the villa as the top in everything, and you can't be rash. Elder Li, who had always been more fair and strict, said to him sternly.

Obviously, he didn't listen to persuasion, and he was dissatisfied with it.

"Elder Li is right, the young master is pure and good-natured, and it is a good thing for the people in the northwest to cherish this heart, but everything needs to weigh the pros and cons, if it is usual, not to mention the grain of 50,000 taels of gold, it is 500,000 taels of gold, and our Liangqu Villa also has the ability to buy it back, but now the situation is unstable, and it cannot be taken advantage of by others, and it is caught in the struggle for power and profit by some people."

It was Elder Qiu who spoke, he was the son of Elder Qiu, he was in his early seventies, and his prestige in the villa was second only to his father, but with his father, he could only rely on his father in everything.

"Elders, the principals, the kid is not sensible, let you worry about it, but the kid still hopes that you will be more people in the northwest, think more about the foundation of our villa, and support the kid to go all out to buy food everywhere and transport it back to the northwest as soon as possible."

Jin Han stood up, spoke earnestly, cautiously and respectfully, bowed his hand, and bowed to these old men.

"Young master, the old man sees that your face is haggard, it must be caused by rushing for days and not resting well, you might as well go back to the room to rest first, and wait for the young master's spirit to recover, and then it's not too late to talk about it, maybe, as soon as you wake up, the young master himself will change his mind." Seeing him like this, Elder Qiu frowned slightly, but then smiled and said to him with concern.

"Thank you Elder Qiu for your concern, the kid is not tired, and when the matter of buying food is discussed, it is not too late to go and rest." Jin Han was unmoved when he heard this, shook his head and replied with a smile.

"Please also ask the elders to fulfill it." After speaking, Jin Han bowed down again.

"Young master, aren't you embarrassing us? How can there be such a demand, if you are sincere and bent on going your own way, what are you going to discuss with us old guys? Elder Li was not happy, he stood up with his sleeves and wanted to leave.

"Eh, Elder Li, don't be angry, the young master is just strong in blood, young and vigorous, sit down, there is something to say, there is something to say." Elder Xiao Qiu on the side hurriedly stood up and grabbed Elder Li to play the round. (To be continued.) )
