Chapter 40: For You
Sure enough, whether in the past life or in this life, as long as it is a decision made by himself, no matter how whimsical it is, his grandfather is always the first person to support him.
"Grandfather! Where can you boast so much! Obviously it's eccentric! Gu Muyan said angrily, but not to mention how warm it was in her heart!
"Humph!" Old Lady Fu snorted lightly like an old child and said, "What? Grandfather's eccentricity is not good? ”
"Good, good! Maternal grandfather is naturally the best! When Gu Muyan was praising Old Lady Fu, a voice sounded from outside the door.
"What? Your grandfather is the best, but your grandmother is not good? Old Madam Fu said with some taste, pouting and looking at the ancestors and grandchildren in the Tianlu Pavilion.
Seeing Mrs. Fu coming, Gu Muyan flatteringly grabbed her grandmother's hand and said, "When this grandmother was not there, my grandfather was naturally the best, and now that my grandmother is here, even my grandfather has to stand aside!" ”
"You little clever ghost!" Old Madam Fu shook her head dotingly and said, and then said as if she remembered something: "I almost forgot about the two of you making trouble, why don't you stay and eat today, I haven't stayed for a long time, how about I ask the people in the house to prepare some dishes that Yan'er likes to eat?" ”
Thinking of what Ruoshu said to himself today, Gu Muyan hesitated a little and said: "Grandmother, why don't you come here for a day or two the day after tomorrow?" There are still some things in the grain village today. ”
"Will Yan'er really come the day after tomorrow?" Old Madam Fu was a little disappointed, and asked a little cautiously.
"When does Yan'er stop talking? The day after tomorrow is coming! When the time comes, you must taste the delicious dishes in the house one by one, and your grandmother will not feel sorry for her purse at that time! Gu Muyan said quirkily, which made Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Fu very happy!
Just a few days after Sheng Zhoujin came forward to collect these grains, there was a sudden torrential rain in Jiangnan, which lasted for several days, and the rice that was about to ripen was destroyed, and suddenly the victims were everywhere, and they frantically poured into the capital.
"Rubbish, it's all a bunch of rubbish!" Xiao Yi shouted at his adviser in the study: "Who told this prince to hoard food last year? Who said this year that this natural disaster would happen in the coming year, so that the prince could keep the silver taels so that he could prepare for his father's birthday banquet? ”
The group of strategists kneeling below were speechless in an instant, and they didn't even dare to raise their eyes to each other, just staring at this small place in front of them and shivering!
Looking at these strategists who had a lot of ideas on weekdays, Xiao Yi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left directly, leaving these people on the ground.
Fortunately, it is not a cold winter moon, and there is no kneeling under the noon sun, so these strategists are not extremely difficult.
It wasn't until the next day that Xiao Yi finally sent someone, which could be regarded as lifting the punishment.
After all, this incident has happened, and Xiao Yat knows that it will not help, so he can only give up and put his mind on disaster relief, but before he speaks, Xiao Yat is not easy to do. The counsellors were on their knees trembling, especially the one who had asserted that there would be no calamity this year
"Miss, you really expected it! The old lady doesn't know how many times she said it in front of her subordinates! Sheng Zhoujin was really impressed by Gu Muyan now, this thing that no one had foreseen was actually thought of, and it was planned in advance!
"In fact, these are all based on the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, coupled with a lot of water vapor, there are a lot of floods every year, the only way is the embankment, this embankment is built, there will be almost no disaster, but if the embankment is not good, even if it is a small flow, it will make the people of Jiangnan miserable!" Gu Muyan explained.
Sheng Zhoujin is not the kind of person who has no knowledge, as soon as Gu Muyan explained, he understood most of it, and he admired it even more in his heart.
"Then the subordinates will follow your previous method, Miss, and when the price rises to a certain extent, the price of our people's grain will no longer rise, but it will be registered!" Sheng Zhoujin said respectfully, and when he saw Gu Muyan nodded, he retreated.
On the other side, the situation at the border has stabilized, and most of those horse thieves have been eliminated by Cheng Qi, and the rest have been hidden, so Cheng Qi asked for a decree to return to the capital.
Now Shang is worried that he can't find someone to deal with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and after Chengqi's request came up, he immediately issued an order to allow Chengqi to return to the capital, but the floods in the south of the Yangtze River must also come back after the problem is properly resolved.
After all, when Cheng Qi comes back, he will definitely pass through Jiangnan, and the iron horse brought by Cheng Qi will also come back together, just enough to rush to Jiangnan as quickly as possible to solve the flood in Jiangnan.
The grain in the capital is also slowly starting to grow wildly, only Gu Muyan's grain village has not raised the price at all, but each person can only buy one day's rations every day, and no matter how much it is, it can't be sold.
Because the price of grain here is extremely low for Gu Muyan, the idea of other shops wanting to make money by taking advantage of the disaster has also been suppressed by Gu Muyan's people's grain village, so those merchants are naturally extremely unwilling and sent people to smash the grain village, but with Sheng Zhou Jin here, they naturally can't succeed.
Therefore, those businessmen joined forces to pay attention again, saying that the grain of the people's grain farm was poisoned, and the diarrhea had not only been three or four days, but also made trouble at the door of the people's grain farm.
All of a sudden, the people panicked, originally thought that this grain farm was sold cheaply, and the owner must be a good man, but now something happened, and one by one began to suspect that there was something wrong with the rice they sold, and shouted to return it.
However, none of the people thought that they had been eating this food for so long, and there was no problem, how could there be so many more people with diarrhea today, and they had been diarrhea for three or four days in a row.
Seeing that the situation outside the people's grain village was not good, he hurriedly sent someone back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to tell Gu Muyan, and he came forward to start the aftermath, at first those people only said to return the money, but then the crowd didn't know who shouted to compensate for the loss, and everyone began to ask for compensation.
Therefore, Sheng Zhoujin's suppression was useless at all, but fortunately, at this time, Gu Muyan also rushed to the backyard, and after explaining the method of dealing with Ruoshu, he handed it over to Ruoshu.
The people's chattering has not stopped from beginning to end, and even more so, they even smashed the grain they had finally snatched in their hands at Sheng Zhoujin and the guys in the grain village, so Ruoshu almost stared at these malicious intentions and came out.
"The person who has diarrhea just now stands up, what is his name? When did you buy it? Let's talk about how many catties of grain you bought, we have a record here, as well as your name and handwriting! Check it out! Ruoshu walked out from behind, holding several booklets in his hand and said.
As Ruoshu's words landed, those who were originally rolling on the ground suddenly stopped, and they didn't know what Ruoshu was talking about, so they could only continue to pretend to be pitiful: "We are so uncomfortable, where can we remember so many things!" ”
"It's okay if you can't remember it, the name and handwriting never change, right? You write down your name, no matter how long ago it was, we can find out one by one, and when the time comes, you will say that the compensation will be as much as it is! Ruoshu said as he glared at the man rolling on the ground.
Seeing that the situation was not good, those people exchanged glances with each other and fled in a hurry, where could the people not know the truth at this time? I'm afraid that some people are jealous of the business of the people's grain farm, or feel that the people's grain village is interfering with their way to make money, so they want to remove the people's grain village from the capital through such a subordinate means!
This matter is also thanks to Gu Muyan, at the beginning, in order to prevent someone from impersonating and waiting for the opportunity to hoard grain from the people's grain farm, he ordered people to register the purchase records one by one.
But in the same way, those other good businessmen are not fools, and with such a big benefit, there will definitely be a backhand!
So after the troublemakers left, Ruoshu said: "In the future, the people's grain farms will inevitably be hated, in order to avoid this kind of bad stomach or more serious trouble, everyone can buy some of the grain to feed the rats in this cage, if the rats are fine, it proves that these grains are also safe!" ”
"Good!" "Good!" The people applauded as if they were not the ones who had just thrown the grain at the people in the grain farm.
"Miss, why do we want to do this kind of business that harms ourselves and others?" After Ruoshu came back to the backyard, he asked Gu Muyan with some puzzlement.
"Where do you think we're hurting? And to whom? Gu Muyan asked rhetorically.
Ruoshu didn't think much about it and said: "Usually at this time, the grain should be gold, but we just rose to the price that will only be there during the New Year, so we will no longer go up, and when natural and man-made disasters occur, how can there ever be such a price for food, these people don't know how to cherish it, and they actually smashed the hard-earned food!" ”
Speaking of this, the more you think about it, the more angry you become, and the whole person is angry!
Who knew that Gu Muyan actually laughed out loud, covered his face and explained: "One of the reasons why I did this is indeed for the people, but the second is for you." ”
"For me?" Ruoshu tilted his head a little puzzled and asked.
Gu Muyan nodded seriously and said: "You should know who the person who bought you at the beginning, although now you have a new identity, but it is difficult to guarantee that he can't find out, instead of being passive, it is better to make your reputation bigger, if you can attract the attention of today, it is naturally the best, if not, who in the capital will not know you in the future?" This is also a kind of protection. ”
"Miss..."Ruoshu's tears swirled in her eyes, for many years, no one had ever considered her like this, and she herself did know the identity of that person, and she was worried about whether these things Gu Muyan said would happen every day.
