Chapter 237: Rice Merchant

When Mrs. Shen heard this, she turned her eyes to look at Wang Ningxuan, nodded, and replied, "The queen mother, the courtiers are here!" ”

Wang Ningxuan smiled slightly, and said kindly: "I heard in this palace that your husband is the biggest rice merchant in the capital, right?" ”

Mrs. Shen nodded gently, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you for the queen's love, in fact, there are many rice merchants in the capital, and we are not the only ones!" Don't dare to be proud! ”

Wang Ningxuan likes her humility, but Yun Tian feels that it is still difficult to hide the edge in this modesty, probably because he already knows what the queen is going to say, so he deliberately covers it up, but how can all this escape the queen's eyes, the queen still smiled kindly, as if pulling a homely and said: "I heard that the people of the capital are praising your family's rice is good, mainly because the price is fair, such a reputation has spread to the palace, and the palace is also very appreciative, now is an extraordinary period, rice and grain are needed everywhere, in order to relieve the victims, The emperor has emptied the treasury, but there are still many victims who need material relief, this rice is the first one, the palace heard that your warehouse has hoarded a lot of rice, at this time the people are short of food, the country is short of food, you can not raise the price of rice! If the people don't get rice, then something big will happen! ”

If this wealthy businessman didn't have the slightest idea of hoarding, it would be impossible, if he bought rice at a low price now and hoarded it, and when the rice was purchased, he would raise the price of rice, then he could make a lot of money, and his income that year might be higher than the income of previous decades! However, the queen's words were tantamount to hitting her to the point. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sure enough, this Mrs. Shen's complexion was slightly different, she took the handkerchief and nodded her lips slightly, her bright eyes turned, her hands crossed on her knees, and she smiled brightly, as if she didn't care, she said: "The queen is too worried, our family has always been conscientious and fair, what is the price of rice in other families, what is the price of rice in my family, it will definitely not be higher than other people's families, so it has a reputation, this point, the queen mother can rest assured!" ”

When Yun Tian heard this, he smiled incomprehensibly, the meaning of the queen mother was obvious, that is, to lower the price of rice, but she was pushed back by this Mrs. Shen like playing Tai Chi, Yun Tian said secretly, he is really a businessman, and his heart is not as confused as the palace concubine, and he is very shrewd!

Wang Ningxuan was not surprised here, her expression did not change, she still looked very relaxed, as if she was saying something inconsequential: "Mrs. Shen, this palace is very relieved of your character, and your family's reputation is not false, this palace believes that you will never do such a thing as raising prices to embarrass the emperor, but now the royal family needs a large amount of rice to relieve the victims, this palace intends to recommend your rice to the emperor, I don't know what price you are going to sell to this palace?" ”

"This ......" Mrs. Shen hesitated slightly, of course she knew that if she sold it to the queen at the price of rice told the market price, judging from the current situation, there was no need to speak, and the queen warmly invited her into the palace to talk about this matter, the purpose was obvious, in front of so many people to ask directly, she was not good at brushing the queen's face, but after all, he was a businessman, it was impossible to reduce the price so easily, she said with a smile, "The queen ...... mother"

However, as soon as he said a little, he was interrupted by Shen Luyi: "Mrs. Shen, you see, in order to relieve the victims this time, the queen mother has taken out all her private money, as well as a lot of her own jewelry, everyone has already seen it, the emperor's side, of course the queen mother is not good to ask for it again, after all, the emperor's treasury is now tight, and your family's rice is going to be sold to the queen mother, what a great honor this is, other families can not enjoy such an honor, if this transaction is completed, Spread out is your rice to get the queen's appreciation, what is the reputation, I'm afraid it is not now comparable, your vision can be long-term, so, the palace hopes that you can do your best to promote this deal, you see, the queen is sincere to do business with you, you must give a good price! ”

This Mrs. Shen seemed to be a little oil and salt, her eyes flashed, and she said: "Queen Niang, Concubine Jing, your situation, the courtiers already know, this time about the price of rice, the courtiers also want to sell it to you at a low price, and make some contributions to the country, but this matter, not the courtiers alone can make the decision, and they still need to wait for the courtiers to go home and discuss with their husbands before they can decide, after all, this is a big deal, we also have a source for rice, if it is all sold at a very low price, Then there will be no money to buy in the coming year, and I'm afraid that our lives will be a problem, so I hope you will give a little time! The courtiers will definitely tell their husbands about this matter! ”

Just let her go back like this, how can there be a good price! Yun Tian said in a timely manner: "Mrs. Shen, it is rare for you to enter the palace once, this palace still hopes to settle this matter first, after all, you are not a harem concubine, this is a royal palace, and not everyone can enter and exit at will!" ”

Here, Wang Ningxuan glanced at Yun Tian, Yun Tian did not continue, Wang Ningxuan looked at Mrs. Shen again and said, "Mrs. Shen, don't worry, this palace will never let you lose money!" ”

Mrs. Shen looked left and right and said, "Niangniang, don't worry, this time the courtiers will definitely sell the rice to Niangniang at a price lower than the market price, and will not let Niangniang pay more!" ”

Wang Ningxuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then thank you, this palace hopes to facilitate this transaction as soon as possible, transport the rice to the victims, and also hope that you can cooperate with the work of this palace!" When the time comes, the main palace will definitely issue a plaque as a commendation! And, I will keep in mind your goodness, and if there is any good thing in the future, I will definitely give priority to taking care of your family! ”

This is a great honor, Mrs. Shen hurriedly said: "Thank you Queen Mother!" ”

Afterwards, Wang Ningxuan turned his eyes to look at several medicinal herb merchants' wives, and after some persuasion, they all expressed their willingness to sell to the royal family at a low price!

Time always flies quickly, and after the wives left, Wang Ningxuan sent the concubines back again, leaving Yun Tian and Shen Luyi to speak: "Imperial concubine, Concubine Jing, thank you so much today!" If it weren't for the two of you taking the lead in donating, I'm afraid this event wouldn't have gone so smoothly! ”

Yun Tian smiled slightly, and said gently: "Niangniang doesn't have to be so polite, in fact, we help you Niangniang, that is, to help ourselves, now the situation is so serious, we enjoy the royal grace every day, and there should be some expressions, as long as we can help Niangniang to help the emperor, the concubines are willing to do their best!"
