Chapter 655: The Princess, Please Think Twice
The leader was slightly stunned, "I still have five thousand stone of grain in my hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Zhou Tingyu made a big salute to the leader, "Please Uncle Xu help me." ”
The leader and Bo Mu looked at each other, they could see that Zhou Tingyu was anxious when he entered the door just now, and now when he saw his actions again, he knew that something should be wrong.
The leader personally helped Zhou Tingyu up and reassured: "Your Highness, don't worry, you tell what happened first." ”
Zhou Tingyu's face was calm, still with anger, "The second batch of grain transferred by the imperial court from the nearby granary is not only buggy, but also moldy. ”
Even Po Mu, a person who doesn't understand the art of war, also sank his face, "They are so bold!" ”
Zhou Tingyu said in a deep voice: "This is to see that I lost the battle, thinking that I will not be able to complete the military order, and I feel that I will definitely be punished after returning to the court, so I will fall into the well now." ”
Of course, there may be some people in it, otherwise he would dare to be so bold, his father is not dead!
The leader also knew the seriousness of the matter, and agreed without saying a word, "Okay, you can leave me a hundred stones for my 5,000 stone of food, and you can take all the rest." ”
Zhou Tingyu thanked again, "Thank you Uncle Xu for your righteousness, I will definitely return this food to you." ”
The boss opened a grain shop in the border city, and these grains were the stored grain in his shop, and after giving these stored grains to Zhou Tingyu, his shop was about to be temporarily closed for business, and he didn't tell Zhou Tingyu about this.
"Even if you write back now, and then Your Majesty re-orders to mobilize the granaries to transport grain, these stored grains will not be enough for those mouths in the army to eat."
The leader also saw Zhou Tingyu's act of writing the letter just now, and he calculated carefully, the five thousand stone grain was only enough for the 100,000 troops in the army to eat for nine days, and it was too late in time.
"The letter I wrote just now is not for my father, but for Hua'er, and I believe Hua'er will handle all this."
It's not that Zhou Tingyu doesn't believe in his father, it's just that he knows very well the virtues of some people in the court, if he waits for his twists and turns to pass back, goes to the court to pull the skin a few times, and then orders his father, until the grain is delivered, it is very likely that a month has passed.
At this time, Zhou Tingyu instinctively thought of Shu Yanhua, and he believed that Hua'er would definitely help him.
......
When Shu Yanhua finished reading the letter in her hand, she ordered the grapes to change her clothes, handed over Xiao Deyin to Qi's mother and others to take care of, and hurriedly went out with the grapes.
In Yue Chonglou, Shu Yanhua met Boss Zhang of Yipinfang.
"The princess, you are in such a hurry to find the old decay to come out, but there is something urgent?"
Boss Zhang's Yipinfang and Mihang now have Shu Yanhua's 30% dry shares, and the five princes are backers, and no one has ever made trouble in the business in the capital over the years.
saw Shu Yanhua's interrogation, and hurried to see her.
Shu Yanhua didn't care about politeness, and asked straight to the point: "How much grain is still in the rice store now?" ”
Boss Zhang thought that Shu Yanhua wanted to check the account book, and replied 1510: "There are still 20,000 stones." ”
Shu Yanhua frowned: "Why is there only so little grain in stock?"
Boss Zhang said with a smile: "I am not the only rice store in the capital, there are more than 20 in total, and the Peng family, the leader of the rice shop, is here, and we have too much grain to sell."
Besides, these stored grains are enough for us to support until the new grain is harvested in June, and the grain is too much to sell, and it will become old grain in the next year, and the price will be lost. ”
Shu Yanhua pondered for a moment and said, "Old man Zhang, I urgently need food now, and I bought the 10,000 stone of grain in the rice row."
In addition, please help me make an appointment with the owners of other rice stores, and say that I have something to discuss with them. ”
Boss Zhang was stunned, "Princess, what do you want to buy so much food?" ”
Thinking of the defeat of the five princes, and the rumors that have spread in Beijing recently, Boss Zhang looked anxious, and lowered his voice to persuade: "The princess, please think twice, you can't do foolish things." ”
Shu Yanhua knew that he had misunderstood, and without much explanation, she took out Zhou Tingyu's letter and showed it to him.
Boss Zhang frowned and read the letter, and immediately said after reading it: "Please rest assured, princess, I will go back now to prepare 20,000 stone of grain..."
The unfinished words were interrupted by Shu Yanhua, "No! You can't give me all the grain in stock, the people in the capital still have to eat, you also have to do business, just give me 10,000 stones.
As long as you go and find me a few more rice shops, so that they can share them evenly, I believe that the grain in the army can be raised, and the people in Beijing can also buy grain in the rice store, and I don't know if it will cause the price of grain to rise if I buy such a large amount of grain. ”
Boss Zhang waved his hand to indicate that there was no problem, "The new grain will be collected in two months, even if it will rise, it will rise by much, the princess doesn't have to worry, the old man will invite the owners of other rice shops." ”
"In this way, thank you Mr. Zhang."
Shu Yanhua waited in Yue Chonglou for three quarters of an hour, and Boss Zhang came in with many people.
Shu Yanhua got up to greet her, and Boss Zhang introduced Shu Yanhua one by one, "...... The princess, this is one of the ten families named after the Yan family, the leader of the rice line, the Peng family, the head of the Peng family. ”
Shu Yanhua bowed slightly, "I've seen Old Man Peng." ”
The old man of the Peng family was a kind-looking person, and said with a smile at the moment: "I heard Brother Zhang say that you have something important to look for us, so we came to the appointment, I don't know what happened to the princess?" ”
Shu Yanhua looked around at everyone present, and bowed to them in a dignified manner, "Please help a group of little women." ”
Everyone hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, not daring to accept her salute, and the old man of the Peng family also said: "The princess can't help it, if you have something to say." ”
Others chimed in.
Shu Yanhua said very seriously: "His Royal Highness brought back an urgent letter from the border city, saying that the food in the border city is not enough, and I hope I can raise food for him from the capital and send it to the border city immediately."
I asked Mr. Zhang to ask you to come here today, I hope you can save some food for me, these are silver tickets, I won't let everyone suffer. ”
As she spoke, she handed Zhou Tingyu's letter to the old man of the Peng family, and pointed to the box on the table, which was full of silver tickets.
After the old man of the Peng family finished reading the letter, he handed it to another person next to him, and after the rest of the people read it, the old man of the Peng family stroked the goat's whiskers,
"The princess is not right, can we watch the soldiers of the border city go to the battlefield hungry like this? The old man is in charge, and our Peng family rice store donated 10,000 stone of grain to the five princes! ”
