Chapter 186: Countermeasures

"Master, Master, I thank you for the emperor first!" Hearing that Lin Jin and Song Chen quickly thought of countermeasures, Song Henghuan, who was thinking about Song Hengyuan, couldn't help but be very grateful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Actually, we are just thinking about the common people in the world, so that the emperor doesn't have to think too much." Lin Jin laughed a few times, "Anyway, Hengqingtang has earned a lot of cash over the years, and if you blindly leave the dust, it is better to take it out and do something practical, and secondly, you can revitalize that silver." In short, we won't do a loss-making business! ”

Their goal is to prevent those grain merchants from making a fortune after a natural disaster and causing the people to live in poverty, but they are not prepared to distribute food to the people in vain. This principle applies at all times. There is nothing in this world that is unearned. Moreover, if the people are given the awareness that they can rely on the government for relief in a disaster year, when the same situation is encountered again, their first time is not to think about self-reliance, but to sit and wait for the government's relief food!

This time, the inn where they settled had an independent courtyard, and Lin Jin and they all lived in the same courtyard. Returning to the inn from the seaside, they began to discuss the future arrangements, and because it was too cold in the courtyard, everyone gathered in the hall where they were entertaining.

"There are several cities with abnormal snowfall this time, and we need to take care of them, otherwise in case of a real flood, it will be difficult to transport food too far for a while." Lin Jin took a sip of Su Miao's hot tea, "The six of us will be divided into three groups, and each group will be responsible for one piece." ”

Song Chen took out the map of Dalan that Su Miao had prepared for her to carry with her and spread it on the table of the Eight Immortals where everyone was sitting, and the location of Hengqing Hall in various places was emphatically marked inside.

Lin Jin and the others smiled when they saw the map, looked at Su Miao, and then looked at Song Chen, and praised: "Xiao Chen has a heart!" "Right now, what they want to talk about has something to do with Hengqing Hall, and this map is convenient.

Su Miao was a little embarrassed, and when she sat down after serving tea to everyone, she glared at Song Chen, this person seemed to be really a road idiot!

Everyone laughed a few times and got back to business. Song Chen pointed with his finger at the four cities they passed through after coming from the Southwest City: "Gladiolus City, Lily of the Valley City, Melan City and Binhai City all need to be prepared, and Huilan City, east of the Southwest City, I heard that the situation is similar to that of the Southwest City." ”

"In that case, let's focus on these six cities!" Song Henghuan said, the city in the central part is similar to in previous years, there should be no problem, and in the north, there are Song Hengyuan and Song Jin They want to find a way, they just need to look at the south.

"It's exactly six cities, so let's divide it into three parts! Southwest City and Whelan City, Gladiolus City and Lily of the Valley City, Melan City and Marina City. Lin Jin swiped his finger twice on the map, "Xiao Chen and Miaomiao looked at Jianlan City and Lily of the Valley City, your sister and I are in Molan City and Binhai City, and Henghuan and Yun'er will go to Southwest City and Huilan City." ”

"There is Xiaojiabao in the southwest city...... Didn't Shi Niang stay over there? Song Henghuan asked, Xiao Jingyu should want to take care of Xiao Jiabao more, after all, the clansmen are all over there.

"I want to live by the sea for a while." Xiao Jingyu, who has traveled to famous mountains and rivers in the past year, now wants to try to go out to sea to fish, she patted Song Henghuan on the shoulder, "Xiao Jiabao will be watched by you for me, I will write to Xiao Yuqing about this matter, and he will cooperate with you." ”

Considering their identities, whether it is the royal status of Song Henghuan and Song Chen, or the high morality of Lin Jin and Xiao Jingyu, it is not appropriate to directly come forward to operate this matter, so in the end, it was decided to hand over the relevant matters of opening the grain shop to Hengqingtang.

"At that time, Hengqing will assign a shopkeeper to go out to be the steward of the grain store, if there is any important matter that needs to be the master, let them go to you." Lin Jin finally concluded, "We mainly prepare the granary for storing grain. ”

"When looking for a storefront for a grain store, the warehouse behind it should not be too big." Song Chen also put forward his own opinion at this time, "If the granary is large enough, then it does not need to be transported to the large grain warehouse to store a certain amount before 'transporting it out'." ”

"That makes sense!"

The people who discussed on the scene were Lin Jin, Song Henghuan and Song Chen, and Su Miao and the three of them said that they could basically run rampant when they walked the rivers and lakes, and when it came to doing business...... In fact, it's not that they don't have talent in this area, it's just that the three of them are a little lazy, and now they are all in this kind of "Anyway, if Brother Jin/Henghuan/Ah Chen knows, if there is anything I need to do, he will naturally tell me", and their hearts are very big.

"That granary, if it were too big, would be conspicuous; If it's too small, there's no way to store enough grain......" Song Chen was already thinking about the problem of storage, "Actually, it's better to build a basement!" The ground can be dug larger than the ground, and when the granary on the ground reaches a certain amount, we can send someone to pretend to transport the grain away, but in fact it is transported to the basement for storage. Traps can be set up in the basement, and only we can open them! ”

"Then Xiao Chen, you will be responsible for the design of this ground granary and basement." Lin Jin glanced at the map and nodded between Molan City and Binhai City, "I don't think I'll look for this granary, it's faster to buy a piece of land to build one, and it can be built what we want at one time...... It was built right between the two cities, and it was convenient for the grain shops in the two cities to be transported to the middle. ”

"No problem." Song Chen agreed, and when he proposed this idea, he already had a good idea of this kind of granary.

After the matter was discussed, several people began to go their separate ways. Lin Jin and Xiao Jingyu stayed in the local area, and the next day, after Song Chen and the four of them had breakfast with the master and the master, they began to walk back.

Before arriving in Lily of the Valley City, Su Miao and Song Chen were still walking with Song Henghuan. After the matter was settled, Song Hengyuan had already written a letter to Song Hengyuan, explaining Lin Jin's worries and their preparations in detail, and then asked Song Hengyuan to prepare in the north with peace of mind, and at that time, as long as they needed the cooperation of the government, they could give an order to the officials.

Song Chen has never cared about the government and politics, and has no understanding of the officialdom of Lily of the Valley City and Sword Orchid City, Song Hengyuan wrote him a list of the main officials of Lily of the Valley City and Sword Orchid City from the prefect of the state city to the bottom before arriving in Lily of the Valley City.

When holding the long list of officials, Song Chen was fine, maintaining his usual calm and silently browsing, Su Miao was surprised: "Senior brother, you are too powerful, right?" You can even remember which city had an official in office! No wonder Ah Chen's memory is so good, it turned out to be inherited from you! ”

Su Miao's words, since she praised Song Chen and flattered Song Henghuan, but the other provider of Song Chen's bloodline was unhappy: "Miaomiao, do you think Xiao Chen is so good-looking, who is the advantage inherited......"

Su Miao blinked, looked at Song Henghuan and Tang Yun for a while, then looked at Song Chen, and touched her chin: "Hmm...... The eyes are like those of the sister-in-law, but they are bigger...... The nose is like a senior brother, but it has to be a little more ...... The mouth is likeβ€”"

The more Tang Yun listened, the darker his face became: "Listening to Miaomiao, you say this, I feel that Song Henghuan and I don't look very good!" ”

Su Miao smiled embarrassedly: "...... I just want to say that blue is better than blue! ”

Song Henghuan didn't care, Tang Yun's mouth had already pouted to the sky. And the person who has been praised several times openly and secretly, intentionally or unintentionally, has no happy expression at all, and his face can even be said to be expressionless and rushing forward, Su Miao stuck out her tongue, although she didn't know what it was for, but she seemed to have offended this cold-faced young man somewhere...... Is it because she complimented him on his good looks? But the topic was brought up by his mother, and it has nothing to do with her!

Although Su Miao's heart was crying out for injustice, it was still the same as usual on the surface, anyway, Song Chen was used to his cold face, and no one else could see his abnormality except her, so she simply pretended not to know!

Talking and walking like this, although they didn't walk fast, Lily of the Valley City still arrived. The sky was already a little dark, if Song Henghuan and Tang Yun continued to walk forward, there would not be much way to catch up before dark, so they simply followed Song Chen and Su Miao into Lily of the Valley City, and went to the house to live first.

Before dinner, after Lin Jiu came back from Hengqing Hall, he heard a report from his subordinates that Su Miao and they were coming, so he rushed to the inner courtyard to meet.

Song Chen told him about opening a grain store by the way: "Time is a little tight, you can arrange people to find a suitable shop tomorrow, and it is expected to open two or three stores." ”

"Yes." Lin Jiu was actually one of the people who felt that the snow was abnormal, but he didn't expect that the owner had already begun to prepare a countermeasure, and his heart was also a lot more stable, "Do you think Hengqingtang has prepared more herbs to treat dysentery and typhoid fever?" After a flood, these diseases may become more frequent. ”

"Then be more prepared." The daily operations and affairs of Hengqing Hall are generally decided directly by the shopkeeper, and Lin Jiu will ask such a question, also because Song Chen is here.

"In addition, Lin Shi over there in Jianlan City, you can communicate with him directly, and there are about two or three over there." Song Chen gave Lin Jiu one more order before leaving. Originally, they planned to go to Sword Orchid City tomorrow, but he also had to make the design drawings of the granary, and the most important thing was that they also had to go to see the location of the granary in person, so this time was saved. Because building a granary on the ground is a trivial matter, it is necessary to secretly excavate a larger basement underneath, which cannot be done by hiring people like building a house, and it needs to be left for a little more time.

After the matter was finished, Su Miao, who was already a little hungry, hurriedly walked out: "Let's go eat-" Dinner will be placed in Song Henghuan's courtyard.

Then Song Chen, who was still sitting still, grabbed her wrist like lightning and pulled her back: "Su Miaomiao-"

"What's wrong?" Su Miao pretended to be confused, you see, she was still thinking about this guy's old and quiet appearance, and she was thinking in her heart when he would have a seizure, didn't she come?

"I remember we once discussed the issue of the title of our father and mother......" Song Chen looked at Su Miao, "You forgot it so quickly?" ”

Title questions? Su Miao blinked: "But it's not wrong for me to call my senior brother and sister-in-law!" I won't really call you 'junior brother'......" I was minding this.

"You changed your name when you called my grandfather, why can't you change it when you call me my father?" Song Chen hated iron and steel, but it was impossible to be really angry with Su Miao, so he only pulled her and sulked there, even if he called him "uncle" or "aunt", he could accept it, but she called him senior brother and sister-in-law in front of him, and felt as if he was a generation lower than her......

Su Miao looked at Song Chen's awkward appearance and couldn't help but feel funny: "It's just a matter of title, don't you mind so much?" still boast that the children of the rivers and lakes are informal......"

"Su Miaomiao!" Song Chen couldn't hold his face.

"Alright, I got it!" Su Miao couldn't break free of his wrist, so she simply pulled him up, "Can you eat?" I'm dying of hungerβ€”"

Song Henghuan and Tang Yun didn't know about the little lawsuit just now, and they had to hurry tomorrow, so they rested early after eating. As a result, early the next morning, as soon as Song Henghuan and Tang Yun walked to the dining room, they heard Su Miao, who was walking in with Song Chen, loudly greeted: "Dad, mother, morning!" ”

Tang Yun fell and almost fell, but fortunately, Song Henghuan helped him by the side. Song Henghuan and Tang Yun looked at Su Miao with a calm face, and then looked at Song Chen, who was a little surprised but more of a smile that couldn't be suppressed no matter how much he couldn't suppress it, and they were a little inexplicable and a little clear in their hearts.

Song Chen maintained a smile on the corner of his mouth until Song Henghuan and Tang Yun left, and he took Su Miao's hand again.

"What's wrong again?" Su Miao was puzzled, didn't she change her words today?

"Miaomiao, I'll invite you to Baxian Fang for dinner at noon, right?" Song Chen said with a smile.

Su Miao found that the smile returned to Song Chen's face: "Don't go!" ”

"Are you really not going?" Song Chen observed Su Miao's expression, "I heard that a batch of sea shrimp has been newly shipped from Baxian Fang!" That shrimp is the size of my palm! Bigger than we've ever eaten before, it's all caught from the deep sea almost as far as Cape Island, and the meat is firm and delicious! If you don't go, I'll go with Xiaobai...... This kind of shrimp is very popular, and if you go late, you will be eaten up by others! ”

"Is it really that big?" Su Miao was skeptical, "Why didn't the fleet that came back from Cape Island send such a big shrimp to the emperor before?" "Whenever there is any fresh and good thing, they will send a batch to Song Hengyuan first.

"So this kind of shrimp is hard to find!" Song Chen said seriously, "This is the first time that such a big one has been caught, and the Eight Fresh Houses have only notified some big customers, and because we have the token of the Eight Fresh Shops in the capital, they sent someone to Hengqing Hall to inform the news." ”

"That's ...... Then let's go and eat it, and bring some back for Uncle Lin and them to taste? Su Miao didn't resist the temptation in the end.

"No problem." Song Chen responded happily. Anyway, it's easy to do things with tokens! (To be continued.) )
