Chapter 289: Great Idea
"Alas, this prince also wants to lower the price of grain, but the reason has already been said by Lord Ye, you can't let people do loss-making transactions, right?" The second prince, Jiang Shunhua, was also worried, sighing while bowing his head in contemplation.
Where can you make money in this business?
This sentence had wandered in Ye Houde's heart countless times, but he didn't dare to say it in front of the second prince.
"How good is this, Xia Guan really can't raise so much money, even if you take out all the money donated by everyone, it won't be of much use." Ye Houde had no choice but to loosen his mouth and take out the donation that he and his subordinates had spent a lot of effort and had been looked down upon by countless people.
"This money is really not enough, but doesn't Lord Ye want to bring down the price of food? With these money subsidies, the price of this grain can be lowered somewhat. The second prince nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, as if he was thinking about Ye Houde.
"However, this money is going to be used to buy food." Ye Houde immediately became anxious when he heard this, if he really did what the second prince said, wouldn't it be that the money was taken out and directly lost, and he couldn't even see the shadow of food?
"Lord Ye, don't worry, this prince didn't let you pay for it and won't give you food, you can still buy food, but the price will be more expensive." The second prince frowned invisibly, but soon, he said to Ye Houde with a smile on his face.
"Oh, that's good, that's good." It was also Ye Houde who was confused by a series of troubles these days, otherwise he would not have been so out of shape.
Not to mention this time. The second prince brought the Qi family to come and go, and he came and went, he not only had to think about how to receive him, how to ensure his safety in the northwest, and then he had to deal with all kinds of troubles in the yamen every day, and after he was done, he had to deal with the persuasion of the second master of Qi every once in a while, and he had to worry about the mother and daughter who were far away in Yejiazhuang.
That's not all, his sons and nephews were beaten on the way home, and he, as a father, must find a way to find out about it.
All these things were pressed on him alone for a while, just ask. How many people in this world can remain calm. Laughing and talking?
"Alas, it's all because this prince has no ability, if this prince is like Miss Ye San, he has a good master. It would be nice to give tens of thousands of taels of gold as soon as you made a move. In that case. There is no need to make Lord Ye so embarrassed. The second prince looked at Ye Houde with some envy and sighed.
"That's the blessing of the little girl, and the little official is also glad that the little girl can have such a master." Mention of his baby daughter. Ye Houde's tired face also showed a smile.
"This time I went to Yejiazhuang and the prince was fortunate to see Miss Ye San, and I was immediately shocked, Miss Ye San is not only beautiful, but also a martial arts wizard, and she has achieved extraordinary achievements in just a few months. The second prince, Jiang Shunhua, smiled gently, his eyes burned, and praised again.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince has praised it, and the little girl deserves such praise from His Royal Highness the Second Prince." Ye Houde heard the second prince's evaluation of his daughter so highly, and saw his expression when he mentioned his baby daughter, and suddenly felt a sigh in his heart.
"Lord Ye doesn't need to be modest, this is not the only prince who said this, even the young owner of Liangqu Villa, Jin Han, also thinks so." However, although His Royal Highness the Second Prince took out Jin Han to corroborate, when Jin Han was mentioned, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Really? Even the owner of Jin Shaozhuang said so? Ye Houde immediately asked happily, at this time, he had to cheer up his 120,000 spirits, this Qi family had just been angry with his baby daughter, but His Royal Highness the Second Prince talked to him about his daughter, wouldn't he want to persuade him to marry his baby daughter to Qi Yingzhe again?
"That's true, if you don't believe Lord Ye, you can ask the owner of Jin Shaozhuang in person when you have the opportunity." The second prince nodded in affirmation.
"It's a pity that the little official has been in the northwest for so many years, except for hearing the name of their Liangqu Villa, but he has never seen their owner and young owner, if there is really a chance to meet, the lower official will thank him well, thank him for what he has done for the people of the northwest these days, and also thank him for saving his life for the little girl." Ye Houde said sincerely.
"How can you say this life-saving grace?" The second prince asked as if he was very interested.
Ye Houde simply told his daughter about him.
"I see." The second prince's eyes narrowed slightly, the meaning in his eyes was unclear, as long as he thought of the radiant stunning beauty and Jin Han flying out of the pit hand in hand, he felt very unhappy.
In fact, how could the second prince not know about this matter, he just took the opportunity to get close to Ye Houde.
Ye Houde was thinking about how to reply, but he saw the second prince's face showing joy, the feather fan in his hand snapped together, slapped the palm of the other hand, and then said to him happily: "Haha, Lord Ye, when it comes to Miss Ye San, this prince has a great idea, this is a happy thing." ”
"I wonder what good idea His Royal Highness the Second Prince has come up with? I would like to hear about it. Hearing that there was a good idea, it was about his baby daughter, and Ye Houde was naturally anxious to know.
"Lord Ye, that's the case, this time I went to Yejiazhuang, this prince seems to have heard Miss Ye San and the owner of Jin Shaozhuang mention that after selling the grain purchased by the Liangqu Villa, the recovered silver money will continue to buy grain elsewhere, I don't know if Lord Ye knows?" The second prince looked at Ye Houde with a smile, and opened the feather fan and shook it lightly as he spoke.
"The lower officials know a thing or two, but I don't know how they talked about it." Although the person in front of him is His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Ye Houde has been able to do it in the Northwest Mansion, and he has been doing it for more than ten years, so he always has this thought, so naturally he will not tell him everything about his daughter.
"That's right, Lord Ye." When the second prince spoke, the gentle smile of the sign had disappeared, and he said to Ye Houde with a stern expression: "Lord Ye should be able to estimate the current situation of Chengqi country, there was a flood in Jiangnan in June last year, and then the northwest suffered a snow disaster, not counting the drought now, it can be said that there is no harvest in the farmland, if the imperial court had a way, it would have sent people to relieve the disaster." However, the treasury was empty, and the food of the entire Chengqi country was very tight. It was also the Liangqu Villa that had a lot of money, and it took advantage of its intricate relationships to buy the grain back. However, if you want to buy cheap food now, it is almost impossible, Lord Ye, what do you think? ”
