Chapter 600: I Hope So

Liu Mingzhi stopped and looked at the source of the sound, an old man with a lofty instrument stood on top of the gazebo with his hands behind his back and looked at himself with a light smile.

"The younger generation is the willow tree in the south of the Yangtze River, dare to ask, but Gu Thorn History?"

"It's the official, Liu Gongzi, please come up and talk about it, sit down and drink two glasses of thin wine!"

"Thank you Lord Thorn Shi for your kindness, the juniors are welcome!"

"Please!"

Gu Zhiheng sat in the first place and nodded at his subordinates: "Pour wine for the two sons." ”

Liu Mingzhi Qinglian hurriedly picked up the wine glass to receive the wine, put her posture to the lowest, and kicked her nose in the face without anyone else giving three points of face.

"The two junior brothers toast Lord Gu with a cup and thank Lord Gu for his hospitality."

Gu Zhiheng sighed melancholy: "It's an eventful time in the city, and the old man has no intention of drinking, but he is a guest from afar, and the old man can't be rude, so he can express his heart with tea instead of wine, please!" ”

"Your Excellency, please."

Liu Mingzhi took advantage of the gap between drinking to glance at Gu Zhiheng opposite, his face was normal and he didn't look like drinking, glanced at the wine glasses on the table and Tong and Wu Liu Mingzhi below, and frowned.

What kind of dragon gate array is placed!

With a light smile, he gestured to the wine glass, Liu Mingzhi put down the wine glass, and sat slightly restrained.

Gu Zhiheng put down the teacup: "The old man of Liu Gongzi's intention already knows, Qingzhou still has a lot of tea in stock, but Qingzhou is barren, and the tea has a bitter taste, I don't know if Liu Gongzi may be able to see it?" ”

"Adults are worried, although the tea in Qingzhou is a little bitter when you taste it for the first time, after the entrance is an endless aftertaste, the lips and teeth are fragrant, it is a rare good tea, but some people don't understand the taste, my father likes Qingzhou's tea very much, otherwise he will not let the younger generations come to Qingzhou to buy tea!"

Gu Zhiheng nodded clearly: "Jia Weng is a different person, don't hide it from Liu Gongzi, Qingzhou's tea is as you just said, it is true, but it is a pity that many tea people do not understand the mystery." ”

"There are many vassal and elegant people in the world, Master Gu doesn't have to worry, the younger generation has come to prepare two or three hundred thousand silver to buy out the tea in Qingzhou, I don't know if there is so much tea?"

"Three hundred thousand? Liu Gongzi, all the tea leaves in Qingzhou together are only worth 80,000 taels of silver, and 300,000 taels is really not so much! ”

Liu Mingzhi pretended to hesitate and thought for a while: "No matter what, how many are counted, you can't go in vain, fortunately, the younger generation has already let the next person buy some tea in Dingzhou Mansion, as long as the leak is not too big, there should be no problem." This is the junior's fixed money! The silver ticket is 20,000 taels, and the younger generation will make up the remaining 60,000 taels. ”

Gu Zhiheng didn't look at the 20,000 silver tickets on the table while playing with the teacup, and his eyes drifted to Tong Hewu who was playing in the courtyard from time to time.

"What? Could it be that adults think that the fixed money is less? If it is not enough, the younger generation can add another 10,000 taels, but the tea juniors must be shipped out within ten days. ”

"Ten days? Wouldn't it be too rushed? ”

"There's no way, as soon as the Northern Xinjiang Trade Road opens, it will be a thousand miles away if it takes less time, and the younger generation has to be in a hurry!"

Gu Zhiheng pondered for a while: "Young Master Liu, the old man has an arrogant request, I don't know if Young Master Liu can agree?" ”

"My lord, please say, the juniors should listen to the adults first!"

I don't know what kind of medicine Gu Zhiheng sells in the gourd, Liu Mingzhi can only cleverly round it.

"Alas, I don't know if Liu Gongzi can use grain instead of the silver money for tea, the old man hopes that Liu Gongzi will understand the old man's difficulties."

"It's ....... Lord Gu, Jiangnan is nearly a few hundred miles away from Qingzhou, and the time, material and manpower consumption of using grain to settle accounts is too great. ”

Gu Zhiheng sighed melancholy: "Liu Gongzi must also know that the locust plague in Qingzhou is serious, and the people lack food and clothing, although the silver ticket is convenient, but I don't know how much time it will take to spend time to buy food, and the people can't afford to wait." ”

The wine glass in Liu Mingzhi's hand became more and more confused, and it seemed that all the people in Qingzhou Mansion were hiding the locust plague, but Gu Zhiheng told himself so bluntly.

This is too far from what Qiao Changjing said.

"Master Gu, it's not that the juniors are unwilling to help, this grain can be paid from Jiangnan to Qingzhou with a maximum of 50,000 taels of silver, and the business of the key juniors' families in the Shanhaiguan Mutual Market is urgent, it's not that the juniors are unwilling to help, it's really powerless. Besides, even if there is a locust plague, the imperial court has disaster relief officials, and the state government has grain from the treasury, although there is little food and clothing, it will not be too much of a problem, right? ”

After chatting for so long, Liu Mingzhi had to shift the topic to the grain depot, and the purpose of coming to the Assassin Mansion today was to find out whether there was any news about the grain depot.

"This .........." Gu Zhiheng glanced vaguely at Tong Hewu's direction: "Liu Gongzi forgives the old man for some unspeakable inconvenience, if you can't settle the bill with food, please forgive the old man for not being able to do anything." ”

Liu Mingzhi gently aimed in the direction of Tong Hewu, and Gu Zhiheng seemed to be very afraid of Tong Hewu.

Although Tong and Wu are Gu Zhiheng's superiors, but the official affairs are different, and the Governor's Office cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction without authorization.

It stands to reason that Gu Zhiheng shouldn't be so afraid of Tong Hewu.

The order of the Assassin's Mansion to obey the Governor's Mansion is an order from the six ministries, and whether it is reasonable to listen to the private order or not depends on the discretion of each state at this time.

"Gu Tingshi, Ben Du is tired of playing, immediately arrange a side room, Ben Du is going to rest with the little beauties."

"Yes, yes, the lower official will go and ask people to prepare immediately, please wait."

More than a dozen women pretended to be happy and went to the backyard, leaving Tong and Wu to walk over wiping their sweat.

Tong Hewu sat down and drank a large pot of wine: "How is the matter with the victims?" Isn't there anything unsettled? ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the yamen has built a large number of porridge sheds and is giving porridge."

"Well, that's good, we must prevent the victims from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. A bunch of people who don't have enough to eat can do anything. ”

"What the lord said is that the lower officials will be careful, but the rice and grain are almost consumed recently, do you see if you are moving some food?"

"You can do it! Ben Governor rested! ”

"Yes, send-off!"

Tong and Wu glanced at Liu Mingzhi meaningfully before leaving, and then looked at Gu Zhiheng with his hands behind his back and followed his subordinates to the wing.

Liu Mingzhi looked at Tong and Wu's backs and played with the wine glass in his hand: "Lord Gu, this Lord Governor is loyal to his duties and always pays attention to the disaster situation in Qingzhou Mansion!" ”

Gu Zhiheng looked at Liu Mingzhi without saying anything: "What Liu Gongzi said is right, Tong Dudu is indeed the Qingtian Lord on the official side. ”

"I hope so!"
