Chapter 134: Borrowing Food (3)

When the five stewards heard this, they all looked at Liu Xuan, and Xiao Gong, who led the five people into the lobby, introduced the five of them: "This is the righteous daughter of Mrs. Liu, the crown princess appointed by the Holy Lord today, and the old owner Miss Liu." ”

Hearing this, the five stewards saluted Liu Xuan with their fists, Liu Xuan stood up and saluted back and then sat down again, she turned around and ordered Qiu Ju and Dongmei to serve tea, and then smiled and said to the five people in the lobby: "Please take a seat." ”

The five stewards thanked each other and sat down, Xiao Gong walked a few steps forward to stand behind Liu Xuan, Qiu Ju and Dongmei gave tea to the five stewards, the five stewards did not speak, only quietly tasted tea, they did not say Liu Xuan nor opened their mouths, and Liu Xuan said after tasting tea: "You must have known that I am purchasing food in large quantities, and it is precisely for this reason that I invited you to come today, I don't know if you have any surplus food on hand?" ”

The five stewards glanced at each other when they heard this, and one of them looked at Liu Xuan and said: "Naturally, there is surplus grain, we are all family grain stores, and we have more or less prepared surplus grain, I don't know how Miss Liu wants to buy it?" ”

Liu Xuan looked the person who spoke up and down, this person was obviously the head of the five, she smiled faintly: "I don't know what to call Mr." ”

The man hugged his fist towards Liu Xuan: "The old man's surname is Cao, and he is the manager of the Cao family's grain store." ”

It turned out to be the manager of the Cao family's grain store, no wonder the other four people looked at him as the horse's head.

"It turned out to be Cao in charge, disrespectful and disrespectful." Liu Xuan greeted: "I am also friends with Miss Cao Er, and I have some dealings with the Cao family, I don't know how much surplus food is in Steward Cao's hands?" ”

Steward Cao didn't pay attention to Liu Xuan's greetings. Instead of answering, he asked, "How much does the girl want to buy?" ”

Liu Xuan thought about it and stretched out two fingers: "200,000 quintals." ”

As soon as she said this, the Cao steward was shocked and immediately asked: "The 200,000 quintals that the girl said is the total purchase quantity of our five grain stores, or does it only refer to our Cao family's grain store?" ”

"Naturally, it refers to the Cao family's grain store alone." Liu Xuan looked at the Cao steward and smiled slightly: "If it only costs 200,000 quintals, why should I invite all of you, a family can buy 40,000 quintals, and there is no need to bother you to come in person." ”

As soon as Liu Xuan's voice fell, the five stewards were all shocked, if the Cao family's grain store needed 200,000 quintals, then they would definitely not be less, and they must know that the grain of the century-old family is also limited. If it really comes true to Liu Xuan's wish. I'm afraid that the first grain store of the Li Dynasty will be replaced by someone else in a blink of an eye.

The steward Cao pondered for a moment: "It's not impossible for the girl to want 200,000 loads of grain, but now is the time when the green and yellow are not available, and this stored grain is the foundation of the grain industry, and I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to sell it." ”

Liu Xuan frowned when she heard this. What should have come is still coming. She picked up the teacup on the wooden table next to her and took a slow sip. Only then did he put down the teacup and looked at Steward Cao and said, "If Steward Cao has any requirements, you might as well say it directly, although Xuan is a woman, she really doesn't like this guessing thing." Steward Cao might as well be refreshed. ”

"Then Cao Mou said it bluntly." The steward Cao looked at Liu Xuan and said: "Now is the time when the green and yellow are not available, and the price of this grain is different from usual, the huge amount of money required by the girl makes Cao really difficult, if you want to transfer the 200,000 quintals of grain to the capital, it will also take a lot of manpower and material resources, so the price of this grain will be much higher." ”

Liu Xuan's face did not move, and asked lightly: "According to Cao's words, how many silver taels do you need for these 200,000 quintals?" ”

Steward Cao tugged at the corners of his mouth: "One hundred thousand taels." ”

"One hundred thousand taels." Liu Xuan groaned in a low voice, as if she was secretly calculating, but the voice was enough for everyone in the hall to hear: "Now the market price is only one tael of silver, and 500,000 taels is not more than 100,000 taels of silver, and now Steward Cao sells me 200,000 taels of grain for 100,000 taels, isn't it more than doubled?" ”

After she finished speaking, she didn't care about the faces of others, and turned her eyes to look at Xiao Gong: "Xiao Gong, I didn't bring this abacus, and I don't know if it's right?" ”

Xiao Gong touched his goatee and nodded: "Miss's algorithm is naturally right." ”

"Right?" Liu Xuan frowned and seemed to be puzzled: "Double the silver to buy 200,000 quintals of grain, no matter how you look at this transaction, I will also suffer." ”

She looked at the Cao steward who seemed to be proud at the corner of her mouth and said: "That's it, I won't bargain with you, but this 200,000 quintals is too little for me to use, I see that the Cao family has a big business, so I simply bought all the grain in the Cao family's grain store, so I bought you a million quintals at this price." ”

After Liu Xuan finished speaking, in order to wait for the Cao steward to react, he asked Qiu Ju to send the silver ticket prepared by Xiao Gong over: "This is 100,000 taels of silver, and when the million loads of grain arrive in Beijing, I will deliver the remaining silver." ”

Qiu Ju came to Steward Cao with a silver ticket, but Steward Cao reacted but didn't dare to accept it, millions of loads of grain, even if it was the Cao family, a million loads of grain became an empty shell as soon as it was sold.

Qiu Ju was originally born in the wolf group, and when he saw that he refused to take it, he quickly stuffed the silver ticket into Steward Cao's arms, and then returned to Liu Xuan's side in the blink of an eye.

Liu Xuan looked at the frightened Steward Cao and smiled slightly: "Okay, since Steward Cao has taken my money, this transaction is considered to be completed, and the other four stewards have to run for nothing. ”

Dongmei Qiuju was about to step forward immediately, several stewards looked at each other and didn't know what to do, then Steward Cao heard Liu Xuan's words, his face was already pale, he angrily took out the silver ticket in his arms and shouted at Liu Xuan and asked: "Miss Liu, is this going to buy and sell?!" ”

Liu Xuan snorted lightly when she heard this: "Isn't Steward Cao taking advantage of the fire to rob?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Steward Cao choked, and the lobby was suddenly silent, Liu Xuan patted the armrest of the chair and stood up, she looked at Steward Cao coldly and raised her eyebrows, and preemptively said coldly: "100,000 taels of silver to buy you 200,000 loads of grain, do you regard this girl as a fool, or do you treat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a fool?!" ”

With such a big hat buttoned down, Mo said that he was just a manager of the Cao family's grain store, even if it was Taishi Cao, he had to defend a few words, and the Cao steward was about to speak immediately when he heard this, but Liu Xuan snorted heavily, not giving him a chance to speak at all, she looked at everyone in the hall with cold eyes: "This girl is ordered by the prince to raise grain and grass to dispatch the border pass." For the prince of Ning to defend against the enemy. But Steward Cao not only did not assist this girl, but wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and ask for many times the silver, and Cao was disloyal based on this alone! ”

"There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add!" That Cao steward finally saw that Liu Xuan didn't really plan to buy his million loads of grain, she was taking the opportunity to make trouble!

The charge of disloyalty was deducted, and he couldn't care about his identity anymore and immediately opened his mouth and said: "Now is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, seeing that the spring ploughing is coming, and a lot of grain seeds alone must be left, and the grain that the grain bank can dispatch is really limited, besides." It does take silver taels to dispatch so much grain and grass. Cao Mou is not as the girl said, taking advantage of the fire to rob! ”

Liu Xuan sneered when he heard this: "According to the meaning of Cao Guanshi, you sell my grain with silver nearly three times higher than the market price, are you loyal to the monarch and the country?" ”

Yes or no, a fool can see it, and Cao Guan can't admit it. If you confess it, one day you will make trouble in the temple. He's a bully!

Steward Cao did not reply to Liu Xuan's words. only said: "Cao is just the manager of the Cao family's grain store, and he is just talking business." ”

"It's a good business." Liu Xuan looked at the Cao steward coldly and said, "In this case, this girl is convenient for you to say something." Cao's grain store will not be less than two million quintals of stock, although it is now a time when the green and yellow are not connected, but the current grain price is also raised, that is to say, Cao Steward because of the green and yellow and sit on the ground to start the price, this reason is simply untenable, and you say that the grain and grass, this girl also has a run in her hands, even if the silver used to transport grain from Shu into Beijing is only a few hundred taels, may I ask Cao Steward, my 60,000 taels of silver, where did you use it? ”

She analyzed them one by one, which made Steward Cao speechless for a while, and it was not until this moment that he somewhat understood why the grain managers of the Han family and the Pang family were all serving the grain, this Liu Xuan was not a master to be messed with at all!

Steward Cao took a deep breath: "Xu is Cao Mou's miscalculation, Cao Mou is just the manager of the grain store who doesn't know about the operation, Cao's grain store needs to stay for spring ploughing, and also needs grain to maintain the operation of the grain store, the grain that the girl wants is too huge, which will inevitably affect the normal transfer of the grain store." ”

Liu Xuan raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Steward Cao is determined to sell me grain for nearly three times the silver?" ”

That Cao steward looked at her appearance, and for some reason his heart was a little weak, but how could he allow himself to be timid towards a hairy girl, and immediately straightened his waist and said: "It's not that Cao Mou deliberately wants to be like this, but in business, he has to do this." ”

He deliberately raised his head, his attitude seemed very arrogant, he was the manager of the Cao family's grain bank, and he was deeply valued by the Cao family, even if it was the future crown princess? Now she is just a righteous daughter of Liufu, even if she becomes the crown princess in the future, what can she do to herself?

Liu Xuan frowned at his arrogant expression, this person obviously couldn't make sense, she closed her eyes and let out a long sigh, and then suddenly opened her eyes and said loudly: "Someone!" Arrest this Liao country's spies! ”

When Steward Cao heard this, he didn't care about the accusations of the Liao State spies, he heard that Liu Xuan was going to trap him, and immediately yelled at Liu Xuan: "You dare! ”

Liu Xuan looked at him and sneered: "Why don't this girl dare!" As soon as she waved her hand, Tiger and Tiger immediately appeared, and immediately appeared behind Steward Cao, stretched out her hand and buckled, and Steward Cao was choked.

Steward Cao was suddenly restrained and shocked, he shouted while struggling: "I am the dignified steward of Cao's grain store, and I am highly valued by the Taishi, you dare to do this to me!" ”

Liu Xuan frowned in disgust when he heard his roar, and as soon as the tiger saw this, he immediately clicked on the dumb hole of the Cao steward, and the Cao steward found that he couldn't make a sound, and the fear on his face was even more obvious, he struggled to get up harder and harder, and the tiger simply gave him a knee kick when he saw this, and the Cao steward instantly knelt on the ground with a puff.

Hu Er's kick used a bit of skill, and when he stepped down, Steward Cao's legs were already numb with pain, but he couldn't speak, and the pain was all written on his face, and his face, which was not handsome, was in pain at the moment, and the sweat droplets on his forehead made the faces of the other four stewards change in shock.

They are all the humerus people of the clan, and there is naturally no shortage of secret guards around them, Steward Cao is even more important to the family, and the secret guards around him are also personally selected, which is better than their secret guards, but now this Cao steward has been beaten by Liu Xuan like this, and those secret guards have not appeared, which shows that Liu Xuan has been prepared.

Thinking of this, everyone is secretly annoyed, they are too big, completely ignoring Liu Xuannai's position in the heart, and being able to take down all the secret guards around them, there is no need to guess where these secret guards come from, but now they can't sit still, this Cao Guan is treated like this, if they don't say anything, they will definitely be questioned afterwards.

So someone jumped out: "Miss Liu, what do you mean by this?" Just because Steward Cao's asking price is too high, do you want to be beaten like this?! ”

Hearing this, Liu Xuan looked at the man, smiled slightly, and said, "I don't know what Mr. is called?" ”

When the man saw her smiling and asking, his heart not only did not relax, but became more nervous.

That Cao Guan was also asked by her with a smile beforehand, and as a result, he knelt in the lobby.

The man coughed lightly: "The surname of you is Ren, but the steward of Ren's grain store." ”

"It turned out to be a steward." Liu Xuan blinked her eyes and asked, "This girl was ordered by the prince to arrest the Liao State spies, what is wrong with daring to ask the manager?" ”

When Liu Xuan suddenly attacked, everyone didn't care about her accusations against Cao Steward, and now they heard her say the four words of Liao State spy, so they were alert, and the manager said hurriedly: "How can Cao Guan be a Liao State spy?" He is the manager of the Cao family's grain industry, born in the Cao family and became in the Cao family, and has worked hard for the Cao family all his life, how can he be a Liao State spy! ”

The steward Cao who was kneeling on the ground nodded again and again when he heard this, once the charge of being a spy in the Liao State was really implemented on his head, even if he died here, no one in the Cao clan would come out on his own.

Liu Xuan glanced coldly at the Cao steward who nodded again and again, and turned to the steward and the people: "You are the people who are the pillars of the major families, the capital infiltrated the Liao State of the spy thing, I must have heard of it, this time I was ordered by the prince to purchase in the Ming, the investigation of the spy is in the dark, and now the Liao State has gathered 300,000 troops outside my border city, only to wait for the prince of Ning to run out of grain and grass and have to return to the capital when the invasion, you are all families, even if it is turmoil, it will not shake the slightest, but the Liao State is the Liao people, Their deeds must be clear to you, and the slaughter of cities is light. If the Liao people win the world of the Li Dynasty, do you still think that your clan will still be stable? ”

Liu Xuan's cold eyes swept over everyone: "Rong Xuan reminds you that if you are not from my race, your heart will be different!" ”

Liu Xuan deliberately overreported the 100,000 troops of the Liao State, in order to scare these people who were in the chaos of the family, these people were used to living a stable life, and knew that even if the war was chaotic, they would not be able to go to the family at all, so they were so arrogant, but they forgot that the Liao people were not Han people!
