Chapter 118: Liu Family, Qilin'er, Liu Congjian
"I've seen Zuo Shuzi!"
"I've seen Zuo Shuzi!"
Liu Congjian and Sun Xu walked into the hall and saluted Zhang Junping with fists.
"Haha! Liu Yanei, Sun Yuanwai, welcome, welcome! Distinguished guests come to the door, there is a loss of welcome, Haihan, Haihan! Zhang Junping replied with a fist clenched.
"Don't dare, this time I'm here to buy food for Zuo Shuzi!" Liu Congjian didn't go around in circles, and directly explained his intentions.
Zhang Junping didn't speak, with a faint smile on his face, looking at Liu Congjian, waiting for his later words.
"The thing mentioned by Zuo Shuzi is a great thing for the people of Puji to share their worries for the official family, and my Liu family, as a relative of the emperor, is naturally very supportive!
Therefore, after hearing about Zuo Shuzi's proposal, my father persuaded Sun Yuanwai to agree to sell grain at a low price according to what Zuo Shuzi said, so as to help the court stabilize the price of grain! ”
"Hahaha! Liu Du's command is really a model of national relatives, if all the royal relatives and relatives in the world are like the Liu family, then why don't I worry about the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty!
Say to Commander Liu Du for me, Zhang admires his open-mindedness! Zhang Junping laughed and clasped his fists at Liu Congjian.
Zhang Junping did not say thank you, but said that he admired, because the Liu family agreed to sell grain at a low price, and it was the people of Kaifeng Mansion who benefited, and it was his Liu family, not him Zhang Junping.
"Don't dare to be praised by Zuo Shuzi, all this is Zuo Shuzi's idea, Zuo Shuzi is the real merciful and loyal minister who thinks about the official family!
My father is just doing a little bit! Liu Congjian hurriedly returned the salute with his fists.
"There was a lot of offense before, and I asked Zuo Shuzi to atone for his sins, in order to apologize, Zuo Shuzi asked for 200,000 catties of grain, and the contemptible people are willing to sell it to Zuo Shuzi at half price!" Sun Xu waited for the two of them to say almost before he spoke on the side.
"Half price doesn't have to! Speaking of which, I was offended before! Please forgive me!
As for the price of grain, just follow the previous price of grain!
On behalf of the people of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhang thanked Sun Yuanwai for his feat of selling grain at a low price, and this matter is considered a favor that Zhang owes Sun Yuanwai!
In the future, if it is useful to Zhang, even if he speaks, as long as it does not violate morality and morality, and it is not a betrayal of the Great Song Dynasty, he will definitely try his best to do a good job! Zhang Junping smiled and saluted Sun Xu with a fist.
Everyone carries the sedan chair, and everyone gives face, so Zhang Junping naturally can't help but know.
Sun Xu was happy in his heart, he finally didn't work in vain, and he could make up for the loss if he could get Zhang Junping's favor.
"Thank you, Zuo Shuzi!" Sun Xu thought in his heart, and he didn't shirk it, and accepted Zhang Junping's favor.
Sun Xu didn't know that this favor saved his family in the future and avoided a catastrophe.
"After the snow stopped, I asked Steward Lu to go to Sun Yuanwai to discuss the purchase of grain!"
"No problem, I'm waiting for Steward Lu at any time!"
After the matter was finished, Liu Congjian didn't stay long, and after a few polite words, he left Zhang's house with Sun Yuanwai.
After sending Liu Congjian and Sun Xu away, Zhang Fu said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this commander of Liu Du still has such a big mind and can persuade the Sun family to sell grain at a low price!" ”
Zhang Junping smiled, "Fu Bo, I'm afraid this is not Liu Mei's idea, but Liu Congjian's idea, Liu Congjian of the Liu family is much stronger than his two elder brothers!" After speaking, he then said to Zhang Lu: "Uncle Lu, if the snow stops tomorrow, you go to Sun Ji Grain Store to hand over and let them send the grain to the three farms outside the city!"
Let Zhang Yang and them try their best to help the people nearby, not limited to our own tenants! ”
"Whoa!"
The snow was still falling outside until the next morning.
On the fifth watch, Zhang Junping got up and got dressed, opened the door, and took a look at the thick snow on the ground.
"Lang Jun, get up! Hot water is ready for you! Zhang Bao walked in with a basin of water.
Although this Zhang Bao is not as clever as Zhang Gui, he is more serious than Zhang Gui.
Every morning, I got up early, waited in the next room, and as soon as I heard movement in Zhang Junping's house, I immediately went to prepare hot water and waited for him to wash.
After Zhang Junping finished washing, he said to Zhang Bao who was standing aside: "You will go and tell your father later, the snow is too thick, pay attention to safety when delivering food!" ”
"Yes, I'll go tell my father!" Zhang Bao agreed, turned around and ran to the front yard to deliver the news to Zhang Lu.
"This kid!" Zhang Junping shook his head with a smile and muttered, and began to move his body around the room.
The joints of the body are moved before it ends.
Ride on a black horse and head to Qingning Palace.
The snow on the road was more than a meter thick, and no matter how miraculous the horse was, it couldn't run in the snow at a depth of one meter.
You can only walk slowly!
"Zuo Shuzi, our snow sculpture has been buried by heavy snow!" Zhao Zhen saw Zhang Junping and said a little sadly.
"It's okay, let's re-carve more snow sculptures later!" Zhang Junping rubbed Zhao Zhen's head and comforted him with a smile.
"Left ......" Yin Lu wanted to open his mouth to scold Zhang Junping for being bold, but he dared to touch the king's head, but he didn't dare to open his mouth.
"Good! After dinner, we'll continue to make snow sculptures!
By the way, Zuo Shuzi, yesterday I cooked for my father and the eldest mother, my father and the eldest lady were very surprised, and I was very happy, my father praised the food I made delicious, saying that I had never eaten such a delicious meal!
also praised Zuo Shuzi's whimsy, and the name was good! Zhao Zhen forgot about his troubles and began to share his happiness with Zhang Junping.
"The official family is happy not because the food is delicious, but because of the king's filial piety!
The king has delicious food, and the first thing that comes to mind is the official family and the saint, this is filial piety......"
praised Zhao Zhen a few more words, and then began to do aerobics in the main hall, playing Tai Chi and Taizu Changquan.
It's a pity that Zhang Junping's re-making of snow sculptures failed to materialize, and even Zhang Junping didn't even mix breakfast, so he was recruited by Zhao Heng to the Vertical Arch Palace.
Those grain merchants still have a lot of energy, and they actually connected more than 20 ministers to impeach Zhang Junping.
Zhao Heng could only call Zhang Junping to the Vertical Arch Palace, of course, he summoned him privately.
"I've seen Your Majesty! Seen saints! Zhang Junping followed the great eunuch Zhou Huaizheng into the vertical arch hall and bowed to Zhao Heng and Liu E.
"Zhang Aiqing, I heard that you went to those grain merchants yesterday and threatened them to sell grain at a low price? If they don't, they will kill their whole family, but is there such a thing? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!
The minister did go to several relatively large grain merchants in Beijing yesterday, but he threatened them to sell grain at a low price by killing their entire family, and this decision was not made! ”
"Really? So what do you do in those grain merchants? ”
"Seeing that the snow has not stopped for a day and a night, it is estimated that there will be a snow disaster, so I went to those grain merchants, first, to discuss the matter of buying grain, and prepared to gather the students of the academy to give porridge!
The second is to agree with them to win or lose in the competition, they can find people at will, if the minister wins, ask them to sell grain at a low price, if they lose, naturally they can sell as much as they want!
If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask Liu Du to command the envoy, that Sun Ji Grain Xing, originally the minister also had an appointment with them, but under the persuasion of Liu Du's commander, he agreed to the minister's suggestion and sold grain at a low price! ”
