Chapter 50: The Secret of the City

"Life and death have life and wealth in the sky, and there are three points of danger in sailing and horses, not to mention the turbulent Three Gorges, everyone says that the old man does not enter the Sichuan, and the old man is not a thousand miles away as an official, and the twilight of living at a young age is not the way of life."

Yun Zheng thanked Zhang Fangping for his teaching, and sat down again: "Since Lord Fuzun can make Chengdu Mansion overflow with clear springs, why don't you think about the upcoming catastrophe?" ”

Zhang Fangping glanced at Yun Zheng and said with a smile: "As long as you rich people don't stop hoarding grain for your life, the old man doesn't think that there will be any disasters in Chengdu Mansion, it is easy to surrender to the drought, and it is even more difficult to get rid of the greed in your hearts." ”

Yun Zheng smiled strangely and said: "Your luck is very good, a few heavy snowfalls in winter will freeze all the locust eggs to death, otherwise with the climate in Shuzhong, when the weather is hot, the sky will be full of locusts." ”

Zhang Fangping smiled and said nothing, he believed that Yun Zheng would definitely give him a reason why he wanted to be so desperate.

"Chengdu Mansion is prosperous in commerce, and there are naturally business opportunities everywhere, from soil to beauty are commodities, how can food be an exception? The main function of the Yun family's grain is to make wine, and after brewing wine, I will take these wines to Yinxing and City to exchange cattle, sheep and furs, and maybe I can exchange some war horses, when it comes to the advantages and disadvantages of war horses, the war horses of the Liao Kingdom may not be able to catch up with the Xixia horses, as long as I can exchange a war horse for the Great Song Dynasty, then the Western Xia will have one less war horse, and the power of the grain against the enemy must be very clear. ”

"The perfect excuse, it's just that the old man thinks that the people of Shu are short of food now, but you use the grain to make wine and kill the enemy. After weighing it, the old man thinks it's inappropriate, your Yun family's grain must be sold at a low price, otherwise the old man will be heavy-handed.

Governor Zhao is afraid of territorial business, the old man doesn't care, in the old man's opinion, returning to agriculture is the right way! ”

Yun Zheng got up and saluted: "The words of the Fuzun are indeed chiseled and right, Yun Zheng will go home and sell the grain at a reasonable price." Don't dare to worry about Fuzun. ”

Zhang Fangping's face was not only not happy, but said lightly: "Su Xun praised you very few in the world, it turns out that you only have this ability, and it is really better to be famous when you meet." ”

Yun Zheng said with a smile: "The kid is just indiscriminate, Mr. Mengsu's blue eyes are added, ashamed, ashamed!" ”

After speaking, Yun Zheng didn't stay long, and immediately left. Zhang Fangping didn't send Yun Zheng out either, sitting in the hall and gently clasping the table with his fingers.

Su Xun turned out from behind the screen and said suspiciously: "This is very inconsistent with his previous character, and the old man thinks that there must be fraud in it." ”

Zhang Fangping said expressionlessly: "The old man is ready to give an order to average the grain." Grain needs to be distributed on a per capita basis. and not by the amount of gold and silver. ”

Su Xun said clearly: "It doesn't work, only the rebels will use Junliang, Juntian as a slogan, you represent the official family, it won't work, the old man thinks you can't wait for this order to be issued." will be demoted and run away. There are many big clans in Shuzhong, and there are not a few officials in the court, so you won't give this order, will you? ”

Zhang Fangping stood up and said irritably: "Spring is actually wrong, the summer grain harvest is the rainy season in Chengdu Prefecture, and the grain is eroded by heavy rain. Reduction in production is inevitable, and we must not only pay attention to the flood peak of the Minjiang River from time to time. Also pay attention to the growth of seedlings in the field, the most helpless thing is to fight with people like Yun Zheng, Chengdu Mansion also rumored that the one-eyed stone man was rumored some time ago, coupled with the destruction of the smoke view, in the past two years, Chengdu Mansion can be described as a disaster, if you don't use thunder means, sooner or later there will be a civil uprising. ”

Yun Zheng took the monkey to hang out in Chengdu Mansion, and it was rare to come out once, so he had a good time.

In the early spring, the Chengdu Mansion finally came out of the depression, and the shops on both sides of the street began to open their doors to welcome customers.

Yun Zheng not only bought a clay figure, but also bought a big-headed doll, with a monkey on his head, and he had a lot of fun.

Yun Zheng knocked the pumpkin seeds in his hand while walking, these melon seeds were fried together with sand, the most crispy and delicious, the monkey played for a while, and then came to Yun Zheng and said, "The prefect won't confiscate our food, right?" ”

Yun Zheng said indifferently: "He plans to ask us to give out the family's grain at an affordable price." ”

"Why, that's our food! I bought it back with great difficulty, and I don't sell it! ”

Yun Zheng spit out the skin of the melon seeds and knocked on the monkey's hand Da Fu said: "Our family's food is to prevent disasters, if Zhang Fangping has the ability to let Chengdu Mansion achieve the same amount of food in everyone's hands, it is a great thing, our family does not have to be so troublesome to call the weaver to come to the house for dinner, so now just wait for Zhang Fangping to implement his grand plan." ”

"What if he succeeds?" The monkey was very reluctant to eat the food, probably because he was hungry and scared in Wonsan, and he had a special greed for food.

"Success? What about jokes? Don't pay attention to that madman, if he really does this, it will only make the current situation in Chengdu worse, originally, the people have a certain ability to prevent disasters, and there are a few people who have no way, and the government needs to take care of this part of the people, now that Zhang Fangping wants to show his grand plan and include everyone under his wings, we just wait to see the joke, and we don't need to ignore him. “

The monkey was relieved, and he also took out the melon seeds from his pocket and knocked them up, Yun Zheng walked all the way and said hello all the way, those people he knew from the teahouse are now all sneaky, and they are staring at other people's faces carefully identifying, wanting to see something different.

Yun Zheng believes that he is definitely not the first person to be called to talk, and he will not be the last, I don't know if Zhang Fangping can do such a huge persuasion work, and it is estimated that the possibility of using force in the end is the greatest, this guy is not here to help the people of Chengdu at all, he is here to harm the people of Chengdu, the bigger the official position, the more ruthless the scourge.

There is no need to connect in series, as long as a meaningful look is enough to convey enough meaning, Yun Zheng now wants to integrate into the big family of Chengdu Mansion, since he is a rich man, then he should stand in the position of the rich to speak, a rich family will be questioned by others when he gets into the poor crowd, not only the rich doubt, but also the poor.

There is very little silk this year, and there is almost no silk on the market, and even if there is, someone is selling last year's inventory, and the silk shop is deserted, only a few young men are bored lying on the counter and chatting.

This is not the norm in Chengdu, where a wealthy city is so vulnerable to disasters.

Yun Zheng saw through the city, their pride, their fear, their helplessness, and their cowardice were all seen through by Yun Zheng, and the city had no secrets for him.
