Chapter 278: It's better than it

"Lord Zhou, Xiaguan really bought the 200,000 taels of silver to buy food, and distributed it to the refugees, if you don't believe it, send someone out to inquire to know whether what Xiaguan said is true!"

"No need to ask!" After Xu Zi finished speaking, he took out the paper from his arms, on it was the receipt of the money bank, but there was Li Yuan's handprint on it, looking at this thing in Xu Zi's hand, Li Yuan's face changed, and said. "Where did you get that?"

Xu Zi sneered and said. "If you want to do more than others, you can't do it unless you do!" As he spoke, he put away the paper and said to the official. "Take it down to the prison and take care of it!" This receipt was given to him by Zhou Tianmiao, but this Li Yuan took a wrong step, the 200,000 taels are silver, in addition to the other two major families in Chaoyang Kingdom, the largest is the Baijia, but Zhou Tianmiao is Baiyao's cousin, there are officials who deposit a large amount of silver, how can they not do anything?

As for the 200,000 taels, this time I got them back, I must go to buy food, and the most important thing at the moment is to fill the stomachs of those refugees!

"Lord Zhou, this silver money is stored in a hundred money houses, and a hundred families are big businessmen, as for this grain"

Zhou Tianmiao nodded and said. "Master Xu, don't worry, I have already informed my cousin Baiyao about this matter, and when I wait until tomorrow, the food will definitely be delivered!"

200,000 taels, just for one family, that is enough to eat and drink well for a lifetime and can be close to the next generation, but the people in these counties with 200,000 taels of silver to buy food, I'm afraid it is not enough to eat for half a month!

As a result of the floods, the price of this grain also increased. On weekdays, a bag of white flour is only seventy or eighty yuan, if it is a little better, ninety yuan is hundreds of yuan, and now, one hundred yuan, not to mention that you can buy a bag of white noodles, it is good to buy a bag of crushed corn!

Rao is hundreds of families came forward to buy food, and the amount was too much, and the price could not be suppressed. And once Baijia takes over the matter. The grain of the rice grain shops of the other two families has also been rising, and with it, many of them who do business with hundreds of families have turned to involve the other two families!

Bai Yao was not worried about this matter. But. If he should not do this. My cousin was an official in the court, and he also took care of a hundred schools, and another family, a hundred schools of business. You have to rely on it!

"Third brother, tomorrow you will personally transport these grains over!" Bai Yao took the abacus and crackled, Bai Jing nodded and frowned. "Big brother, I bought 200,000 taels of food, and these grains are not enough, I heard the steward say the day before yesterday, and the area that crossed the river was flooded!"

"There's no way to do this, 200,000 taels of silver, you can buy a double like this in the future, but the other two major families, but they take advantage of this to increase the price of grain again and again, and they are not afraid of being beaten afterwards?" Bai Yao also thought thoroughly, at this time, he contributed to the imperial court, and the status of Baijia will also grow in the future!

In the eyes of the world, this business is full of copper money, and it is not as good as being an official, even if the family is big, a small official can knock you out!

"Okay, I'll send this grain over early tomorrow morning, by the way, the person who went to cross the river with my cousin is called Xu Zixu?"

Bai Yao nodded and said. "What?"

"This Lord Xu, isn't it the one I heard before that I became married to the daughter of Chunnong?" Chen Chunhua and Xu Zi got married, and they didn't send people to Baifu to talk, but Baiyao found out later, and also sent people to give gifts!

"It's him!" After Bai Yao finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Bai Jing, and said. "What do you mean?"

"The daughter of Chunnong is the name of the Holy Lord, wouldn't it be better if we handed over the food to her, it would be better than giving away the silver money for nothing!"

"I forgot that!" After Bai Yao finished speaking, he put down the abacus in his hand and said. "I have to go to Zhaojia Village in person!"

Chen Chunhua also listened to the letter at this time, Dong Niang told her about the river crossing flood yesterday, thinking that Xu Zi was also going to cross the river!

Today, I heard the grandmother who went to the town to buy vegetables muttering that pork has also risen, and the price has increased, and the pork that went back to seven or eight cents a pound has now risen to twelve cents a pound, and the others have also been mentioned.

Shelving Qingshui Town, everyone can eat pork for 12 yuan a pound, Chen Chunhua is also a little strange, crossing the river is far away from the people's city, and it is even far away from this Qingshui Town, why has the price of this piece also risen?

"The owner, the hundred young masters are here!" Chen Chunhua heard this, nodded, and said. "Let him in!"

I haven't seen him for a few days, Bai Yao came in, looked at Chen Chunhua and smiled. "Boss Chen, but are you free?"

"Don't get in the way, don't you know that the young master is here today for the money?" Chen Chunhua's fan business is booming, even if the flood across the river can't affect this area, the weather here is still very hot, but Chaoyang Country is still successful, and many business people in neighboring countries have come to her Zhaojia Village to set fans, which is good!

Bai Yao nodded and said. "Presumably Boss Chen also knows about the flood of crossing the river, this flood can have a lot of impact this year, not only the crossing of the river has been flooded, but even several counties near the crossing of the river have also been flooded, next to that piece, there are quite a lot of refugees, even in the capital There are also many refugees!"

"It's so serious, if it's like this, isn't it a national matter?" Chen Chunhua frowned, no wonder even the price of things in Qingshui Town has increased, and said. "Young Master Bai, what are you saying this time for?"

"Lord Zhou and Lord Xu, the purchase of food was handed over to my hundred families, and the other two major families also know that once my hundred families take over this matter, they will inevitably be squeezed, rather than giving away this silver money for nothing and not being able to buy food, it is better to "

"You mean you want me to make this money?" Chen Chunhua nodded and said. "I don't know what the flood situation is, but when it comes to food, I think it will be quite difficult according to the ability of my Zhao family, and your ability is like this, how can I, a small businessman, take over?"

Chen Chunhua shook her head, she couldn't cope with this, there was still a month before the rice was harvested, and she couldn't wait for the flood across the river!

"Boss Chen, this is different, you are the daughter of the saint and the son of Chunnong, and you can't compare with my hundred families in business, with this head in the body, how can the other two families compete with you?" Bai Yao saw that Chen Chunhua's face had not changed, and continued. "The flood disaster of crossing the river is not solved overnight, because the refugees have no food, they are already hungry and panicked, stealing chickens and dogs and doing everything, Lord Xu and Lord Zhou are crossing the river this time!"

Hearing this, Chen Chunhua was stunned for a moment and said. "Young Master Bai, I should take this matter!"

"Okay, with Boss Chen's words, I will rest assured, early tomorrow morning, my third brother Baijing will escort the grain to cross the river to meet Lord Zhou and Lord Xu, this batch of grain was originally purchased by the 200,000 taels allocated by the court before, and now there is nothing left in the money, I'm afraid it is"

"Wait, you're saying that the food that will be escorted over tomorrow is purchased with the money allocated by the court?" Chen Chunhua frowned, since it was purchased with the money allocated by the court, how could the other two families still raise the price of grain like this, wouldn't it be against the court?

Then Bai Yao told Chen Chunhua about the reason for the matter, and Chen Chunhua solved the doubts in his heart after hearing it, and said. "In that case, I've been thinking about it a little, can I listen to the young master?"

"Boss Chen said!"

"Since they are all in business, the people's city, Xingxian, Qingcheng, Liaocheng, and other county seats, there are a lot of shops to do business, you also said, I have the name of the daughter of this spring farmer, wouldn't it be better if these business bosses raised money to buy things? Moreover, if the food is really not enough, they will go door to door and say, not to mention the money raised, even a pound of food! ”

When Bai Yao heard this, his eyes lit up and he said. "Why didn't I think about it, Boss Chen still has a good head!" But then again, if Bai Yao thought about this, he was just in business, and he would definitely not have a reputation like Chen Chunhua!

And Chen Chunhua's plan is excellent, according to her name, but it has spread all over this area, who doesn't know her Chen Chunhua's name?

Chen Chunhua and Bai Yao talked in detail about the fundraising, and then asked people to set aside a portion of the tens of thousands of catties of millet stored enough to eat in their own house, and the rest was milled into rice.

The eldest and third came back to learn about it, and they didn't take a break, the rice and millet were brought by Mrs. Wen and the eldest mother-in-law, and the family was busy!

"Big brother, load these rice shouts into the wagon, and the crushed corn is also mixed and matched together!" Chen Chunhua also has some thoughts, and combines the milled rice with the milled corn ginseng, this rice can not be used to cook rice for those refugees to eat, one person can eat a bowl and a bowl, if the porridge is cooked, one person can still fish a bowl to pad the stomach!

After everyone finished their work, Chen Chunhua counted the wages one by one, and when he heard that the rice was given to the refugees who crossed the river to eat, everyone also shouted, and they simply confiscated it!

"Sister-in-law, the food is all loaded!" Hanzi clapped his hands and shouted at Chen Chunhua at the door. Chen Chunhua nodded and said. "It's almost dawn this day, everyone go back and rest, I'll come over early tomorrow morning, I still have something to keep everyone busy!"

"Cheng, let's go back and rest!" Everyone answered, and they all went back to rest!

The boss looked at the grain of more than a dozen carriages outside, these carriages were also borrowed from the houses of the village, otherwise they really didn't have anything to wear!

"Daughter-in-law, you should also rest quickly, it's not too early!" The third child yawned and helped Chen Chunhua into the house!

Chen Chunhua can't sleep yet, this flood can't be slow, thought about it, and said. "Big brother, third brother, Ming'er will tell the village about the flood of crossing the river, if the life in the house is relaxed, give some money and food, it's not much, just have that heart!"
