Hearing this, the divine light in Zhi Zhao's eyes, which was still a little suspicious, disappeared, and he completely took Cui Wenqing's words as a joke, and said coldly: "Cui Wenqing, 20 million buckets of grain are enough to need 300,000 taels of silver, and it is calculated based on the price of grain this year, if it is according to Liang Qingchuan's supply price, it is 700,000 taels, and now it is almost time to burn your eyebrows, you are still in the mood to talk nonsense here!" Crazy! ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile in his chest: "In ancient times, Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from a grass boat, and now I Cui Wenqing bought grain empty-handed, and the governor of the lady can make a military order here, if you don't buy 20 million buckets of grain within three months, you will be willing to accept military law in Xia!" ”

Seeing that he didn't mean to joke at all, the expression on Zhizhao's face became solemn, and he nodded: "Okay, this is what you said!" If it can't be completed by then, Ben Shuai will definitely not take care of his personal feelings. ”

"White paper and black paper, I will write to you later, don't worry." Cui Wenqing smiled confidently, and already had a plan in mind.

Out of Youpeng Building, Liang Qingchuan did not return to the mansion directly, but went to Zhi Jixuan's residence.

"How's it going?" Zhi Jixuan was practicing boxing in the court, and when he saw Liang Qingchuan coming, he hurriedly stopped the momentum and asked.

Liang Qingchuan replied with a sneer: "The matter explained by Zhe Changshi, I took it to heart, and I didn't let go of the grain price of forty wen and one bucket at all, and I had no choice but to retreat, but in the end, Cui Wenqing suddenly interjected, claiming that I was going to sell grain elsewhere, so I pretended to be angry and left." ”

"What, Cui Wenqing wants to buy food elsewhere?" Hearing this, Zhi Jixuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, I'm afraid that idiot doesn't know yet, the grain in Hedong Province has long been monopolized by us, how can other families sell him grain!"

"Then will he go and sell grain elsewhere?"

"Absolutely not, even if Cui Wenqing can buy food elsewhere, it won't be transported to Fuzhou, firstly, it is not easy to collect the people's vehicles, and secondly, the food loss along the way, the people's rations are too amazing, and Zhezhao will not be so stupid."

"So, we have a chance to win this time?" Zhi Jixuan's eyes flashed, and his face was full of joy.

"Yes." Liang Qingchuan nodded affirmatively and said with a smile, "After Xuan Gongzi goes back, you can tell Zhi Changshi to rest assured, it won't be long before Zhi Zhao will come to beg him." ”

"Haha, that's great!" Zhi Jixuan clapped his hands and smiled, his expression was a little cold, and he muttered to himself, "Zhe Zhao, Zhe Zhao, don't you always want to take away the power of my father?" This time, I want you to see what it means to bring humiliation to yourself, and that Cui Wenqing, the shame that you brought to our brother last time, this time you will definitely be repaid! ”

※※※

Back at the post house, Zhe Zhao's mood was still not calm, especially when he thought that Cui Wenqing didn't spend a penny to buy 20 million buckets of grain and came back, he felt that it was a big mistake to be in the world!

Regardless of where to buy 20 million buckets of grain except for Hedong, the cost of silver taels alone is very nerve-wracking.

No, not a big headache, but something that simply can't be done.

Even if it is on credit, it is impossible for others to give Zhenwujun so much money on credit.

Cui Wenqing's words just now are not reliable at all, and in the end, he can only figure out his own way.

Zhe Zhao estimated that the minimum amount of food to buy the whole year was about 600,000 taels of silver, while the Zhenwu Army only used more than 300,000 taels to buy military rations, a difference of more than 200,000 taels.

As the saying goes, a penny is hard to kill a hero, and now Zhezhao suddenly has such a feeling.

Cui Wenqing, Cui Wenqing, you really killed me this time!

When Zhe Zhao was still in a hurry, Cui Wenqing came leisurely, and when he saw this, he smiled and said: "Lady Dudu, look at you like this, are you still worried about the matter of military rations?" ”

Seeing Cui Wenqing so calm and light-hearted, and it didn't matter to him, he was angry, stood up and snorted coldly: "If you don't worry about finding a way, where should the missing more than 200,000 taels of silver come from?" I'm not as easy as you are. ”

It is not difficult to hear the blame, Cui Wenqing coughed a few times in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "There were many people in the wine shop just now, and it was inconvenient to discuss, in fact, I came here now to discuss this matter with you." ”

Zhi Zhao sat down angrily, picked up the teacup and drank it vigorously, as if he wanted to extinguish the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Okay, you say, the governor of Pontus is listening." ”

Cui Wenqing was not annoyed by Zhao's attitude, sat directly opposite her, and said solemnly: "The lady's primary concern should be the lack of silver, right?" ”

Listening to his serious tone, Zhi Zhao's face softened slightly, and he said: "Yes, even if we can buy cheaper grain outside of Hedong Road, but counting the wear and tear of the road, and the employment of people's vehicles, the cost is simply a bottomless pit, I roughly estimated, the minimum cost is about 600,000 taels of silver." ”

"Okay, I'll find you 600,000 taels of silver for the lady, I wonder if you can buy military rations, lady?"

"Six hundred thousand taels? Scold! Cui Wenqing, do you think you are the reincarnation of Fan Li Baigui? Zhi Zhao teased, "Even if your Armani clothing store business is booming, it is impossible to earn 600,000 taels of silver in three months." ”

Cui Wenqing was stunned and said, "Who said that I should rely on the money of the Armani clothing store?" Naturally, I won't use my own money to spend military rations, but rely on the empty glove white wolf to get it! ”

"White wolf with empty gloves?" Zhen Zhao raised his eyebrows, revealing a look of doubt.

"Yes," Cui Wenqing nodded, seeing that Zhi Zhao was still puzzled, he couldn't help but shake his head and laughed, "Lady, lady, you are really holding a mountain of gold and crying poor!" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhi Zhao immediately asked in a deep voice.

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "In my eyes, Zhenwu Army is a gold-lettered signboard, is it still worth 600,000 taels of silver!" ”

Hearing him say this, Zhi Zhao was even more surprised, and in a hurry, he didn't say anything to ask, just looked at him with blazing eyes, obviously waiting for the following.

Cui Wenqing coughed lightly, and suddenly asked in an accentuated tone: "I wonder if the lady has ever heard of the word national debt?" ”

"National debt?" Zhi Zhao muttered to himself, obviously confused.

Cui Wenqing eloquently said: "The so-called national bonds, also known as state public bonds, are the creditor's rights and debts relationship formed by the state on the basis of its credit and in accordance with the general principles of bonds by raising funds from the society. Treasury bonds are bonds issued by the state, is a kind of government bonds issued by the imperial court to raise financial funds, is issued by the imperial court to investors, promising to pay interest and repay the principal at maturity in a certain period of time. ”
