"His Royal Highness the Second Prince Xie is considerate." Ye Houde calmed down, then wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied with great gratitude.

The second prince just waved his hand when he heard this, and then looked at him sincerely and said: "Lord Ye said that, in front of this prince, Lord Ye doesn't need to be so polite, this is also because this prince and Lord Ye don't have much contact, and they don't know each other too well. ”

"Everyone in the world says that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is kind-hearted and treats people with the city, and now he has to see that this is the case." Ye Houde immediately praised.

"Ye Dacai is the real pillar of the country, and it is only after coming here that this prince understands why his father will hand over the northwest of Nuoda to Ye Daren to manage. Seeing that Lord Ye worked hard for the people of the Northwest, working day and night, and taking the lead in donating money and materials for the victims, this prince was ashamed, if there was no Lord Ye, I don't know how many people would starve to death in the Northwest, and what kind of chaos would be. The second prince also praised Ye Houde.

"Don't dare to be praised by His Royal Highness the Second Prince, these are all things that should be done in a humble position."

For a while, the two actually praised each other, making Ye Houde even more confused about the intention of the two princes to go to the northwest.

Fortunately, after a few words of praise to each other, the two princes finally stopped, sighed and said: "Alas, Lord Ye, it's just that there is a difficult matter here for this prince now, I don't know how to do it, I want to hear Lord Ye's opinion." ”

"I don't know what His Royal Highness the Second Prince said? is not talented, and is willing to share the worries of His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”

"That's right, Lord Ye may also know that Jiangnan was also flooded last year. The grain produced was not much, and in addition the unscrupulous businessmen raised the price of grain, the price of grain in Jiangnan was seven or eight times more expensive than before. But those merchants, based on the face of the prince, still agreed to transport the grain to the northwest, and the prince also made a treasure in front of them to ensure that they would not lose money after arriving in the northwest. The second prince looked at Ye Houde with a wry smile as he spoke.

"The price of grain in Jiangnan is actually seven or eight times more expensive than before, isn't that almost the same as here?" Although Ye Houde knew that Jiangnan had been flooded. But I never thought it would be this price. After all, some of the grain transportation teams in Liangqu Villa have just come from Jiangnan, and they haven't heard that it is so expensive.

If that were the case, how could he have set such a cheap price for food?

"It's really hard." Ye Houde also smiled bitterly: "The second prince knows if he wants to come." Liangqu Villa has recently brought some grain from all over the world. It is now available in various locations in the Northwest. The price of this grain is only about three times more expensive than the original price. If the merchants who the second prince promised came and wanted to sell seven or eight times as much, no one would buy it. ”

"This is the prince's headache, and it's all because the prince is young and ignorant. As soon as he heard that the people were suffering, he hurriedly ran to Jiangnan, and he didn't come to ask Lord Ye in advance. The second prince blamed himself very regretfully.

"The second prince is concerned about the suffering of the people, where can we talk about quick success." After Ye Houde comforted him, he immediately asked, "I don't know if His Royal Highness the Second Prince knows that those caravans can set off?" However, His Royal Highness the Second Prince does not need to be in a hurry, there are so many people in the entire Northwest, the food gap is very large, although Liangqu Villa has a lot of grain, but it can't solve all the problems, and when the merchants that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is looking for arrives, they can not sell it for the time being, and when the grain in Liangqu Villa is sold out, then raise the price and sell it. ”

"When is that going to sell? Isn't it going to drag on for two or three months, and it's not easy for this prince to explain to those people. The second prince said everywhere at the end, and couldn't help sighing again: "It's all because I usually only care about playing in the mountains and rivers, not doing business, if I can try to make a little more money, then this matter will be very easy to solve, this prince directly buys some grain and transports it, it doesn't matter if you sell more or less." ”

"The second prince has been tired of running around for the people of the northwest for so long, where can you still worry about buying food. This matter will be handled by the lowly position, that is, the lowly position will definitely not disappoint His Highness. "No way, Ye Houde can only take the plunge and accept this matter.

When he came out of the place where the second prince lived temporarily, Ye Houde hurriedly went to the yamen.

I don't know what the two princes had in mind, and they didn't let him tell other officials about his coming to Lingfeng City.

Therefore, he can't discuss with others, so he can only think of a way on his own, but for a while, where can he think about it.

However, thinking about it again, if there was a good way, so many advisers in front of the two princes would have thought about him a long time ago, where would they still need him.

How is this good, do you really want him to ask his daughter to borrow money?

At this time, the only thing Ye Houde thought of was his daughter-in-law Ye Tianqing, who let her have so much money.

Although the money was given by her master, and he used the money to buy grain, he knew that the grain was not given to the people of the northwest for free, and even if it was sold cheaply, he could still recover a lot of money.

And the money recovered was originally intended to continue to let the people of Liangqu Villa go elsewhere to transport grain, but now that the people of the second prince have food to send over, they have to go to other places to buy grain.

It's just that the price difference is so much, will your baby daughter agree? Will Jin Han, the young owner of Liangqu Villa, agree?

But he is a prince, and the first time he asks for him, can he not agree?

Rao is Ye Houde has lived in officialdom for a long time, and he has dealt with countless big and small things, and he was also stumped by this incident at this time.

I don't know when Shuisheng will come back, if only Qing'er was around.

During the day, Ye Houde was dealing with things in the yamen, and in the evening he did not work overtime as before, but hurriedly returned home.

Unexpectedly, at the door, I saw the maid of the second lady Tang who was waiting in the gatehouse.

"Say hello to the master, please forgive the slave and maid for disturbing him, the second lady asks the slave and maid to wait for the lord here, saying that there is something to discuss with the lord, please come over when the lord is free." The maid neatly finished what she had to say in one go, and then she saluted Ye Houde and waited aside.

"Okay, you go back and tell the second lady, just say I'll go over to eat in a while." Seeing the second lady's maid, Ye Houde's tired eyes flashed, and he did not leave directly as usual, but stopped and listened to her words, and ordered casually.

"Yes, master, the slave will go back to the second lady." When the maid heard this, her face immediately became happy, and after agreeing, she hurried back to the backyard. (To be continued.) )
