Yuan Xi took Tian Feng and the two walked in from the outside, and as soon as they came in, they saw that there were still some people in this hall.

However, Zhen Yao and Yuan Xi know each other.

"Hey, Zhen Yao, you're here."

As soon as Yuan Xi came in, he saw Zhen Yao.

Zhen Yao was still a little surprised on his face, but when Yuan Xi came in, he reacted quickly and hurriedly saluted Yuan Xi.

"What kind of wind blew Yuan Xigongzi to our Zhen family?"

Obviously, Zhen Yao asked knowingly, at this time, Yuan Xi came to the Zhen family, in addition to asking about the Zhen family's food, what other reason could there be.

"Today, I happened to be inspecting Zhongshan County, which is relatively close to your Zhen family's territory, so I came over to take a look, by the way, what about your second brother Zhen Yan?"

Although I saw Zhen Yao here, Yuan Xi didn't come to find Zhen Yao, although Zhen Yao was the third master of the Zhen family, but the power of the head of the family was still placed on Zhen Yan, and Yuan Xi also came to find Zhen Yan.

As long as Zhen Yan opened his mouth, the grain and grass that Yuan Xi wanted was basically stable.

"My second brother is checking some utensils in the yard, presumably he should come over to receive Yuan Gongzi soon, Gongzi is here for a while."

In addition to Yuan Xi's inquiry, Zhen Yao didn't dare not answer, and quickly said a word to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi nodded, and didn't ask much about Zhen Yan.

He walked into the house from outside, and then set his eyes on the people in the house.

Yuan Xi's eyes swept over the room, and his gaze gradually fell on Liu Zheng, Guo Jia, and Dian Wei.

Liu Zheng and Guo Jia are okay, they are both weak scholars, although Liu Zheng often goes to the battlefield, but his martial arts foundation is not strong, at best he is a half-baked level, and Yuan Xi is not much stronger.

Guo Jia basically has no martial arts, just a nerd.

It's Na Dian Wei, who was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, five big and three thick, just because of his size, he is bigger than Liu Zheng, Guo Jia and others.

So it attracted more attention, Yuan Xi's eyes looked at Dian Wei's body a few more times, and he recognized Dian Wei's martial arts at a glance.

But when I saw Dian Wei standing behind Liu Zheng, I knew that Liu Zheng was the master of these people.

Yuan Xi rushed at Zhen Yao.

"Zhen Yao, who are these people?"

After Yuan Xi set his eyes on Liu Zheng and the others, he couldn't help but start to make Zhen Yao a little nervous.

"Uh...... These are our added guests. It is a traveling merchant from a neighboring county, and we are visiting today, and we plan to discuss the cooperation between the two companies. ”

Zhen Yao did not directly say Liu Zheng's identity.

After all, Liu Zheng's identity is too sensitive.

If Yuan Xi knew Liu Zheng's identity, Yuan Xi would definitely think more, and when the time came, if Liu Zheng was really arrested, then the Zhen family finally saw that some hopes of cooperating with the Mi family were in vain.

So when Yuan Xi didn't directly ask the names of Liu Zheng and others. Zhen Yao still didn't plan to tell Yuan Xi the identities of Liu Zheng and the others.

Yuan Xi really didn't think much about it at the moment. After all, in a big business family like the Zhen family, it is normal for some guests to occasionally come to talk about business.

Moreover, it is not the head of the family who comes to receive these guests, which means that the identity of these guests is not very important.

That's why a third master, Zhen Yao, was assigned to negotiate.

Yuan Xi did not continue to ask about the identities of these people.

After learning that Zhen Yao and the guests were talking about some things here, Yuan Xi was also a little interested.

"What are you talking about here?"

"That's right, Childe, didn't you send someone to our Zhen family before, saying that let our Zhen family raise a batch of grain and grass. I have sent people to the surrounding counties to buy grain and grass vigorously, but the nearby counties have limited surplus grain, and I want to collect enough grain and grass. It's very difficult. So I wondered if I could expand the scope of grain collection to the next state and county. ”

"These guests are some traveling merchants in the next state and county, and I am discussing with them about raising grain and grass transportation in other states and counties."

Yuan Xi just asked casually, but now when he heard Zhen Yao's words, he was actually talking about raising food and grass for him, but he was interested.

I immediately asked.

"I didn't expect the Zhen family to be so attentive to what I said, which really makes me grateful. How much food and grass have you raised now? ”

Yuan Xi originally came for this, and now that Zhen Yao has talked about grain and grass, Yuan Xi naturally wants to know the truth and falsehood, and now he has helped him raise how much grain and grass.

Hearing Yuan Xi ask about this, Zhen Yao showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.

"Hui Gongzi, the grain and grass in the counties have been tightened recently, and last year's harvest was not good, and there is little surplus grain in the hands of the people.

"Today...... Now he has only collected 3,000 stone of grain and grass. ”

Zhen Yao told Yuan Xi about the current situation of the Zhen family.

did not get Yuan Xi's understanding.

In exchange, Yuan Xi's anger was obtained.

"What!"

Yuan Xi's face changed and he exclaimed.

"Only 3,000 stone of grain and grass?"

Yuan Xi asked the Zhen family to raise 30,000 stone of grain and grass for him at that time.

originally thought that after these days, the Zhen family should have gathered all this grain and grass.

But now, when he heard Zhen Yao say that he had only made up three thousand, Yuan Xi's whole person was not very good, and his gloomy face made people know at a glance that he was extremely angry at this moment.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few cronies around him now, he tried to make Yuan Xi suppress the anger in his heart.

Maybe he's going to go crazy on the spot.

Arrested Zhen Yao and questioned him.

"Waste, isn't your Zhen family the largest business family in Jizhou, why can't you even take out 30,000 stone of grain and grass?"

"When my father was alive, you were my father's biggest benefactor, how come it came to my Yuan Xi's hands, but you didn't even have a tenth of my father?"

"Do you look down on me Yuan Xi?"

Obviously, Yuan Xi was very angry that the Zhen family had only scraped together 3,000 stone of food.

Zhen Yao seemed to have known for a long time that Yuan Xi would be furious, but at this time, he seemed calm.

"Yuan Xi's son is angry, angry, we know that this matter is not satisfactory to the son, so we have been sending people to contact the grain and grass in the surrounding counties, and we are doing our best to collect grain and grass."

Zhen Yao's explanation could not make Yuan Xi calm his anger, but at this time, Zhen Yan, who had not come forward, happened to walk in from outside the house. 、

As soon as he came in, he sensed that something was wrong in this room, and with a little thought, he could guess why Yuan Xi was angry.

is also the appearance of a good old man, and hurriedly came out to stabilize Yuan Xi.

"Zhen Yan to meet Childe."
