Mr. Guangling said in high spirits, but Yun Jin shook his head helplessly: "This is easier said than done!" Yun Yao is the top of King Cheng's heart, and she must be surrounded by masters, and it is not easy to catch her. ”

"My lord! Who said that you did it with their famous director? Can't we use some stratagem? Mr. Guangling smiled confidently.

Yun Jin finally got interested: "Sir, if you have any good plans, please tell me quickly!" ”

"The lord forgot what happened in our cottage?" Mr. Guangling asked with a smile.

"In addition to silver, bamboo, and tea leaves in this mountain, what other valuable things are there?" Yun Jin shook her head impatiently, "Sir, don't sell it, let's talk about it quickly." ”

"Herbs!" Mr. Guangling said with a smile, "Our mountain forest stretches for hundreds of miles to the southwest, which is the place where the ancient Shennong clan lived, and there are hundreds of precious herbs in the mountains in this area, but because the mountains are steep, no one knows them in the deep mountains." ”

Yun Jin shook her head again: "Although the woman surnamed Yao is proficient in medical skills, she is not necessarily a medicine idiot. Besides, she knew that she was stationed here, and it was impossible for her to come here to collect medicine and throw herself into the net. ”

"Herbs don't draw her in, what about the sick?" Mr. Guangling said with a smile: "The largest grain merchant in Anlu Mansion is seeking medical treatment, do you say she will come or not?" ”

"Oh?" Yun Jin smiled thoughtfully, "That's a bit interesting." ”

※※※

Tang Ru Town can be said to be in a state of flux during this time.

The chaos was everywhere, and he, the county lord, simply became a spinning top, turning east and west, pressing down this side and rising up that side, it was simply pressing the gourd to float the scoop.

Originally, he also received the news from above, saying that the meaning of the chaos of the people is enough, there is no need to be serious, let them make trouble.

But it doesn't matter where else it is, it's not okay to give birth to him in Huzhou, because Huzhou has an auxiliary lady and a county lord, as well as two thousand Jinlinwei. Jin Linwei's long knife stand on his neck directly ordered: if you don't do what the county lord says, you will immediately cut off his head.

As a result, Tang County Ling had to let go of the so-called superior order, and for the sake of his old life, he had to obey Jin Linwei's arrangement, arresting people every day, arresting people and detaining people again. It wasn't until the county jail was filled that the damned rioters stopped.

However, the seizure of the chaotic people has stopped, but the people who have no food are still gathered at the gate of the county government. The common people have to eat!

Tang Ru asked one of Jinlinwei's hundred households: Please ask the county lord and his wife to find a way to get some food, and send these people away first!

Jin Linwei gave him a cold look: You are the county commander, and how to appease the people is your business.

Lord Tang looked at the sky speechlessly: there is not even a mouse in the granary of the county government! Let him figure it out!

Jin Linwei kindly pointed out a clear way: go and borrow it from local grain merchants.

I can't buy it with silver, and I still have to borrow it?! Tang County's order is directly crazy, those grain merchants have backers behind them, how can he afford to offend a county order?

In fact, it was indeed Yao Yanyu's idea to go to the grain merchant to borrow grain, but he had to borrow it in the name of Tang Ruding, after all, he was the parent official of the county.

Yao Yanyu also thought about it, the grain merchants came to store grain for profit, and secondly, they were afraid that it was because they couldn't help themselves. Therefore, the work of borrowing beams is not easy to do.

But if Tang Ru Town is stronger, and takes out the prestige of a county magistrate to move the grain merchants in Huzhou with affection and reason, and tells them that if they don't come up with some grain at this time to suppress the people's rebellion, the people will be forced to smash their granaries in a hurry, and they will suffer in the end.

In fact, the imperial court's treatment of the chaotic people has always been tolerant, after all, the common people can't eat because of the incompetence of the government. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the rioters who were arrested and put into the prison cells this time, except for those traitors who secretly stirred up trouble, were put back nine times out of ten.

When Lord Tang was at a loss, a distinguished guest came to the door - the chief manager of the Chen family, the largest grain merchant in Hanyang Prefecture, came to the door.

"Mr. Chen! Ladies and gentlemen! Tang Ruding saw the chief manager of the Chen family as if he had seen hundreds of thousands of stones of snow-white rice, and his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.

"Lord Tang! The old slave is polite! Chen Daping, the chief manager of the Chen family, saw Tang Ru Town and gave a deep salute. This old man is a proud subordinate of the old owner of the Chen family, and he also has some face in Tan Bonian, the prefect of Hanyang, and it is already a great respect for Tang Ru to be able to bow down when he sees him.

Of course, Tang Ruding didn't have the heart to worry about these details with him at this time, so he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Manager Chen, please get up quickly." I really don't know what kind of wind blew you here? "There's no way, this year, it's the uncle who has food! As a parent of a county, Tang Ru Town, for the livelihood of the people, was more humble and kind to a subordinate of a merchant family than to a colleague chief.

The two of them talked for a while, but in the end, Tang Ru couldn't hold his breath and asked Chen Daping first: "Manager Chen came to our Huzhou, is there something wrong?" ”

"Oh, Lord Tang is wise, the old slave has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!" Chen Daping clenched his fists at Tang Ru Town again, "The old parents don't know, the old lady of our host family is guilty of the old illness, and she was troubled by those chaotic people last night, and she turned her back on it." Our owner is a well-known filial son of our Hanyang Mansion, and he can't eat and sleep at night because of this matter. Because I heard that the divine doctor of our Dayun Dynasty is now in Huzhou, so I sent the old slave to ask the old man to do me a favor, and said a few kind words in front of this divine doctor, and asked the divine doctor to go out of the mountain and give me the old lady to diagnose and treat. Our proprietor said that as long as this miracle doctor can cure the illness of our old lady, food or something, it is easy to say! ”

Tang Ruding's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked in surprise: "Is this true?!" ”

Chen Daping clapped his hands and sighed: "Oh, my boss! Human life is a matter of heaven! How can our proprietors play with children's play? ”

"If you don't need more, I only need 200,000 stone of grain. Just sell it at the original price this spring. Tang Rucho immediately dismissed the condition.

"So much?!" Chen Daping lowered his head in embarrassment, touched his chin, and asked again: "100,000 stones." Don't tell the boss that there is chaos everywhere now, even if there is food, I don't dare to transport it here! Tens of thousands of rioters are waiting to hijack the grain truck! 100,000 stones, the old slave was transported from the warehouses in the two counties around Huzhou to this side, and this is not safe! ”

"One hundred and fifty thousand. It couldn't be less. Tang Ru said with a stiff face: "This county doesn't want you in vain!" Or buy it at the original price. In this case, you should know that it won't be long before Kyoto City intervenes in this matter. When the time comes, it is indispensable to ask you grain merchants for the crime of taking advantage of the chaos for personal gain, and if you can't do it, you will also ask you for the crime of collaborating with the enemy. ”

Chen Daping pondered for a moment, raised his hand and patted his thigh: "Okay!" As the old saying goes, listen to people's persuasion and eat well. The old slave first thanked the boss for his kindness on behalf of the owner. I wonder if the old man can guarantee that the miraculous doctor will treat my old lady? ”

Tang Ruding immediately changed his clothes with an embarrassed expression, and sighed: "I won't tell you, Mrs. Fuguo looks good, but she is actually a person with a lot of ideas. If you think about it, it was a second-grade court judge who was waiting by the emperor's side. But don't worry, since the old man promised you, he will do his best. ”

Chen Daping was born as a businessman, and his bargaining skills are naturally perfect. No matter how Tang Ru sold Guanzi, in the end he still earned the opportunity to go into the mountains to see Mrs. Fuguo.

Without further ado. Tang Ru Town knew that he couldn't do this without getting out of the horse, besides, he still had to go to the county lord and the auxiliary lady to ask for credit, and under such conditions, he could get 150,000 stone of cheap grain to prove his ability. After the matter passes, even if you can't make steady progress, at least you can ensure that you are safe and sound, right?

And the task that Chen Daping received before coming this time was to invite Yao, the wife of the divine doctor Fuguo from Kyoto, to go to Hanyang Mansion to treat the old lady of the owner. As long as you can invite this Yao Divine Doctor to come to Hanyang Mansion, you can agree to any conditions. On the way here, the manager Chen kept thinking, and he didn't know if this miracle doctor was so divine that it was worth such a condition from the owner.

Tang Ru Town, with great ambition, took Chen Daping, who had a stomach full of doubts, to the Cheng Cemetery, and the two of them took seven or eight followers to ride fast horses over the mountains and mountains, and it took nearly more than an hour to finally see the bamboo sea.

"Manager Chen, have you seen that sea of bamboo? That's it. ”

"Huzhou is such a great place! Sure enough, it is a blessed land with beautiful mountains and rivers! Chen Daping raised his hand between his eyebrows to look into the distance, but saw a piece of turquoise and a yellowish patch, it was a large paddy field that had been headed, and I was afraid that the rice would be ripe in less than half a month.

"Let's go. And here it is. Tang Rucho continued to ride forward. Chen Daping hurriedly followed.

But the two of them crossed the mountain beam and were just about to enter the bamboo forest, when they were blocked by two Jinlin guards hidden in the forest: "Stop! Don't go any further. ”

"The two brothers have worked hard! In Tangru Town, the magistrate of Xiahu Prefecture, I have an important matter to visit the county lord and his wife, and I would like to ask my brother to help inform him. ”

The two Jinlin guards glanced at each other, although there was impatience on their faces, they really couldn't block the way of the county commander, so one of them arched his hand and said, "Lord Tang, wait a minute, let us go back for a while." ”

"Brother, hard work." Tang Ru Town has suffered from Jinlinwei, and he respects these ancestors, and he definitely does not dare to offend.

A Jinlinwei dodged into the dense mountain forest, and after a short time, he came back and arched his hand towards Tang Ru Town: "My lord, please come down with your subordinates." ”

"Okay." Tang Ruding secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if these two female ancestors didn't see him, it would really be a shame.

As soon as you enter the bamboo forest, the blue clouds overhead cover the sun, and the bamboo murmurs in your ears, you will feel the coolness in your heart, which is really comfortable from the inside out.

Jin Linwei saw that the man in green shirt who was following Tang Ru Town kept looking around, so he reminded in a cold voice: "A few people, please follow closely and don't mess around." Otherwise, the following does not guarantee your safety. ”

Chen Daping felt a pang in his heart, and secretly thought that no wonder he always felt that there was something strange in this bamboo forest, it turned out that it was really ambushed.

The two of them walked with Jin Linwei for two quarters of an hour before they saw the bamboo buildings that were cut down and built. Those small bamboo buildings with southern characteristics are built along the mountain, staggered and shaded, surrounding a tall and spacious three-story main building, where the county lord and the wife of the auxiliary country live.

However, Jin Linwei led everyone to a small stilted building next to the main building, but the smell of tea was clear, and there were two bamboo easy chairs in the small building ventilated on all sides, and a pair of delicate glass tea sets were placed on a small table in the middle, and a woman in a moon-white cocoon silk collared deep coat only combed a man's monopoly, and sat there calmly and indifferently to make tea, she was engrossed, and she didn't care about everything around her, as if nothing existed between heaven and earth, only her pot of turquoise fragrant tea.

"Xiaguan to see Madame. Please Madame Ann. Tang Rucho bowed respectfully. Chen Daping, who was next to him, quietly glanced at the legendary divine doctor lady, and hurriedly followed Tang Ru to salute together.

"Lord Tang is a rare guest." Yao Yanyu smiled indifferently and glanced up at Chen Daping, without any expression. That gaze was as light as a feather, but it made Chen Daping's heart tense inexplicably.

"Madame guards the tomb for Chenggong, and the lower officials really don't dare to come and disturb unless they have important matters. Please forgive me. ”

"Well, I like to be quiet." Yao Yanyu said, using green bamboo polished tweezers, he took a tea cup from the boiling water and put it aside, raised his hand to pour a cup of tea, and instructed the maid serving behind him: "Move a stool for Lord Tang." Obviously, the easy chair opposite Tang Rucho is not qualified to sit.

The maid behind her answered, turned around and went out to move a small round stool made of bamboo to put it in. Tang Ruding sat down before he sat down. Chen Daping thought to himself, only the county order was qualified to sit on a round stool, and it seemed that he had to stand.

Yao Yanyu handed the green bamboo leaf tea to Tang Ruding, and asked slowly: "Lord Tang said that if you don't dare to disturb something important, then I don't know what is important for your lord to come this time?" ”

"Don't dare to hide it from Mrs., now there are riots outside, all because of the shortage of food." Tang Rucho's face was sad and embarrassed.

Yao Yanyu nodded: "I know about this." ”

"Now there is a grain merchant Chen family's chief manager to find the upper and lower officials, saying that their old lady is seriously ill and wants to ask his wife for mercy, wave her hand, and relieve her pain. The Chen family is willing to take out 150,000 stone of grain to enter Huzhou at the price of grain in Pinghuzhou. Tang Ruding said, then got up from the low stool and bowed down to Yao Yanyu, "The lower official is brave, and I also ask my wife to be kind and save the people of Huzhou from fire and water." ”

Yao Yanyu then looked up at Chen Daping, who had been standing behind Tang Ruding, and asked calmly: "What did you say about the Chen family's housekeeper?" ”

"The grass people are." Chen Daping didn't dare to hold it up, and quickly knelt on the ground with a long shirt. In fact, he doesn't want to kneel, but he can't stand with the county master kneeling, right?

Yao Yanyu glanced at Tang Ruding, but didn't let him get up, and only asked Chen Daping: "What is the illness of your old lady?" ”

Chen Daping hurriedly replied: "The old lady has been sick for some years, and the grass people remember that fifteen years ago, when the old lady first became ill, she was in a coma for two days and two nights. Since then, I have been inseparable from the medicine. In the past two years, I have been getting older, and it is often bad. It's even worse when something bad happens. A few days ago, because of the chaos of the people, the old lady fainted again, although she had woken up after pouring the prescription given by the chief, but she was only awake, and she couldn't say a word, let alone move. My master heard that the miracle doctor Mrs. Yao was in Huzhou, so he ordered the grass people to invite Mrs. and beg Mrs. to be kind. My master said that as long as my wife is willing to heal my old lady, I am willing to honor my family, and from now on, only my wife's order will be obeyed."

This wording is Chen Daping thought about it more than a dozen times before deciding on the draft, seeking medical treatment, people will definitely ask about the old lady's condition, he thought about it again and again, for fear that if he said the wrong thing, he would ruin the bamboo, so he thought about it seriously, deleted the complicated and simplified the condition and treatment, and finally had to say that as long as he could save my old lady, my master was willing to pay any price.

After Yao Yanyu finished speaking, she chuckled: "I don't want you to be filial to your family, and I don't need you to obey your orders." I only have one condition, that is, I am now keeping filial piety to my teacher, and it is difficult to leave. If your old lady wants to seek medical treatment, please come to me. ”

"This ......" Chen Daping also knew that this was a miracle doctor from the capital, who specialized in treating the emperor, and the shelf must be big, and there would definitely be many harsh conditions for seeking medical treatment from her, but no matter what, as long as she went out of the mountain, her task would be completed. So he thought of many possibilities, but he didn't think of this one.

"Why, your family is so rich that you can't even find a stable car?" After Yao Yanyu finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Ruding and said, "Why is Lord Tang still kneeling, please get up." ”

Tang Ruding thought to himself, if you don't tell me to get up, will I dare to get up? Is it easy for me to get 150,000 stone of grain?

Chen Daping still knelt on the ground, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of Mrs. jokes, if you talk about big cars, the Chen family is not lacking." But the mountain roads in this area are rugged, and the big car can't get in. ”

Yao Yanyu smiled slightly and said, "There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts." If you really want to seek medical treatment, are you still afraid of this little mountain road? Don't worry, as long as your old lady can come to me, I will do my best to heal. ”

"......" Chen Daping knelt on the ground, so depressed in his heart! He couldn't help but glance up at Tang Ru Town, but saw that this Lord Tang didn't look at himself at all, only holding a green tea in a daze, it seemed that he was almost stupid after kneeling for a while just now.

"Why, I still don't understand what I'm saying?" Yao Yanyu watched Chen Daping kneeling on the ground and couldn't get up, and her face was a little more impatient.

"Yes, grass people get it." Chen Daping couldn't say the anger, annoyance, and hatred in his heart. Tang Ru Town, the hometown of 150,000 stone grain, took him away this way, but he got such a result! Go back and let him explain to his master!

"It's not too early, and it's not convenient for me to keep you." Yao Yanyu said, then put down the teacup and stood up.

Tang Ruding also hurriedly stood up and arched his hand towards Yao Yanyu: "In this way, then the lower official will leave first." ”

"Walk slowly, don't send." Yao Yanyu nodded towards Tang Ru Town and walked away.

Chen Daping got up from the ground and said with a wry smile: "My lord, look at this...... What's going on? ”

Tang Ru said as a matter of course: "Didn't Madame already promise to treat your old lady?" Hurry back to prepare the car and send the old lady over, isn't it? ”

"This ...... My old lady is over eighty years old, how can she withstand the bumps of this long road? ”

"Don't you have a prescription for a man of the world? I gave the old lady medicine along the way, and you are only a few hundred miles away from here, why can't you come? Let me tell you, Mrs. Yao was ordered to guard the system for Grandpa Cheng, in addition, your master has hands and eyes, and then go to inquire, if the magnates in Yundu City want to ask Mrs. Fuguo for diagnosis, they must first ask the emperor, and the emperor will approve it. Now that Mrs. is merciful, she has promised to treat your old lady for the sake of you and Grandpa Cheng, who are both from Huguang. Seek medical treatment! The focus is on the word 'seeking'. You can go back and tell your boss that he doesn't really want to ask for it. That's all this official says, Mr. Chen, think about it. ”

Chen Daping wanted to say something more, but Jin Linwei had already come to see off the guests. So he had no choice but to stop talking and leave depressedly after Tang Ruding.

In the small bamboo building, Yun Yao raised her hand to pull the light veil on the window, and smiled contemptuously: "A slave dares to bargain with the seven-rank parent official of the imperial court, it is really a dog." ”

Yao Yanyu chuckled: "There are many such things. Moreover, judging from the current situation, people have the capital to control Tang Ru Town. ”

"Didn't you write to Jiang Ning? The food matter has not been settled yet? Yun Yao frowned and asked.

"There's one thing we didn't expect." Yao Yanyu sighed softly, "Qingjiang's east-west shipping is estimated to be out of work now. In other words, other ships are still open, and the ships carrying grain are afraid that they are not so good. ”

Yun Yao angrily slammed on the table and said angrily: "What kind of waste does the imperial court raise!" Where are the troops in the southeast and southwest spent?! ”

Yao Yanyu sneered: "What's the use of talking about this now? ”

"Don't talk about that." Yun Yao said, and glanced out the window again, at this time, Tang Ruding and Chen Daping had been taken away by Jin Linwei, and only Xiang Zhi was cleaning up the tea set over there, "What do you mean by the Chen family this time?" Is it really just filial piety greater than heaven? ”

"Huguang's grain price has increased tenfold and has been rising, isn't it the credit of his Chen family? As the largest grain merchant in Huguang, there must be more than just a mountain behind him. He can promise to give 150,000 stone of grain to solve the predicament of Huzhou at such a time, and there must be a plan. ”

"Then you still promised to treat his mother?"

"The doctor is benevolent, I can't refuse." Yao Yanyu narrowed her eyes and chuckled, "So you can only change the away game to the home field." Let him send his wife here. "The terrain in this area has been clearly understood, and there has already been a mechanism in the bamboo forest. Once something happens, it is more than enough to save your life. Moreover, the Chen family's seeking medical treatment is obviously weird, so Yao Yanyu will never leave this bamboo forest at such a time.

------Off topic------

There are two little devils in the family, and there is really no way to code words!

Not much more, forgive me.

However, the monthly pass must still be dropped! Seeing that the end of the month is coming, and when the children are sent to school, Da Zhuzhu has to work hard. So you must use the monthly pass to cheer me on!
