79 "When the official document first arrived, there was no notice, and the three warehouses of Changping, the military warehouse, and the transshipment warehouse increased the grain, which was almost three times that of the grain levied in previous years! The situation is sinister, this time the court is real money allocated silver, it can be said that it is a great opportunity, I didn't expect you to encounter such a good thing after only a year! Xu Wei sighed as he spoke. In the hall in the backyard sat Xu Wei, Zhou Dao and Lao Zhang.

"The opportunity is good, but unfortunately there is no money now, no money at all." Zhou Dao was also sighing, excited to excited, and the room was speechless for a while. "What if? Lao Zhang pondered, "If only we could pay some of the food money in advance..." ”

"Huh?" Xu Wei looked at Lao Zhang and turned his head to look at Zhou Dao, and Zhou Dao also opened his mouth to look at them. "What do you mean! Lao Zhang, tell me, what do you think? Xu Wei asked.

"Doesn't the government collect grain? Can't we take the grain we collected before to the government and exchange it for some cash? Lao Zhang asked rhetorically. Zhou Dao's heart was also hot when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "I heard that before the government recruits us big households to compare prices, they will not directly collect grain, because the price at which it should be collected has not yet been decided." However, we will add 20% to the current price of the grain we collect, and give the grain to the official warehouse, which is exchanged for the government, and there is no risk in thinking about it, right? ”

Xu Wei frowned and listened, was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "How much grain do you want to bet?" Wouldn't it be too eye-catching to transport the grain into the official warehouse first? What would others say? ”

Lao Zhang thought for a while and said, "It would be nice if I could exchange it for three thousand guan first." The grain doesn't have to be moved, and there is no need to make such a big move, the granaries in Luoma City are almost repaired now, and after they are repaired and loaded with grain, we will directly hand over these granaries to the government, and the officials will send people to guard them, so isn't it okay? ”

Xu Wei lowered his head and thought silently, leaning his head less, "Well, give it a try!" Without further ado, I'll go and discuss with Lord Yu. After speaking, he got up and walked out, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he turned around and added, "Zhou Gongzi also followed me." Without waiting for thoughtfulness, he went straight out the door.

"That's the trick? Reliable? Yu Chengzhong, the magistrate, frowned, and was a little worried. This is in the inner hall of the backyard of the county government Yufu, just Yu Zhixian and Xu Wei, Zhou Dao is drinking tea and waiting in the wing room in the front yard.

"When you have food in hand, you can rely on it! Such a good opportunity can't let others steal the jackpot. Xu Wei paused, and then said: "This time is different from the past, this year's number for this county is a total of 10,000 quintals in three warehouses!" This is a government order, but also a military order! It has to be done no matter what, and last year it was 3,800 quintals, more than doubled. The more this grain is received, the higher the price will be, is the silver tael allocated above enough? We all have to think about it ahead. Xu Wei's eyes lit up, "The most important thing at the moment is to hold the food in your hands!" It's a good thing for both public and private. In my opinion, it's not a matter of wanting to, but you have to do it quickly! If the grain is only handed over every year by the villages and towns, in addition to the county's retention, the rest is only far away, and then in order to complete the apportionment of the imperial court, the counties will have to fight. With such a harvest, there is not too much food, it is not enough! Whoever moves slowly will wait to be hit by the board. With food in hand, are you afraid that he will run away? ”

Encouraged by Xu Wei, Yu Zhixian seemed to have figured out this section and had confidence, "Well, if you want to come to three thousand, it will only be two thousand, and you shouldn't be able to make a big deal, if there is really anything, you can block it first with your own money." He patted his thigh with his hand and muttered, "In addition, the mortgaged grain is put in silver at seven percent of the current price, which is more stable." Figure, this matter will be handled by you, remember to do the procedures carefully! lest they be given authority at a later date. In addition, after counting the grain in the warehouse of the mule and horse market, it must be sealed and sealed to prohibit fireworks! Send more people to watch, and finally you can release the money! Well, and we have to stock up on as much food as we can during this time! ”

Xu Wei arched his hand, "Don't worry, my lord, I can save these." "Oh, there is one more thing..."Yu Zhixian organized the words, "These three thousand guan are pledged to him Zhoudao, this is a loan, and the interest must be calculated, and the grain will be deducted from the share after the levy." At a monthly interest rate of five cents, the rules that should be talked about still have to be told! ＂
