When Jiang Buji heard Jiang Feihe's words, the corners of his mouth grinned with some disdain, looking like a leather ball that had cracked a slit, and it looked extremely strange. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, hey, I didn't expect Da Lang's ability to improve during this time, and his temperament has become weak, what is called untimely, what is called robbery while the fire is fired, doing business is originally to buy low and sell high, and to seek benefits by being small and big, and now Chang'an City is about to run out of food, this is originally a good opportunity for us to make money, if it is really according to your meaning, how can our Jiang family have today's achievements." Jiang Buji sneered and continued.

"As for what you said about whether the imperial court will take us at the last moment, there is no need to worry about this, now Chang'an City is short of food, but who is really short of food, is the imperial court and those people who have no surplus food, those wealthy families have no shortage of food at all, and even in this month, they will try their best to transport food, after a month, sell at a high price, the law does not blame the public, when the time comes, with these wealthy families selling grain at a high price with us, how dare the court act rashly, so Da Lang can rest assured, As long as you do what Grandpa tells you to do, there will be no problem. ”

After Jiang Buji finished speaking, the expression on Jiang Feihe's face did not change in the slightest, he just nodded silently, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

.....................

Duan Jian didn't get the answer he wanted in the Jiang family, and sat in the carriage with some loss, and returned to his home in Changxingfang, which was a newly bought house that Duan Jian had recently bought after falling out with the elders of the Wang family last time, and the Wang family's house in Yongxingfang can't be compared, but it is also a mansion that covers an area of one acre, and the most important thing is that there is a small garden in this house, which looks quite the charm of the Suzhou and Hangzhou gardens of later generations, which is also what makes Duan Jian feel the most satisfied.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Duan Jian saw Duan Mu, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, running quickly to his side, and said in a low voice, "Lang Jun, Di Shilang is visiting, and he is waiting in the living room now, Lang Jun hurry up!" ”

Hearing Duan Mu's words, Duan Jian was a little surprised, Duan Jian still respected Di Renjie very much for his teacher, especially after Di Renjie returned to Beijing, Duan Jian would also visit the door from time to time, and by the way, he asked Di Renjie some experience in being an official, and the relationship between the master and apprentice became more and more harmonious, but it was the first time that Di Renjie came to the door like today, so Duan Jian knew that something big must have happened.

Hurriedly entered the house and came to the living room, Duan Jian saw Di Renjie sitting quietly in the living room.

"It is a sin for a student not to know that the teacher is coming, and to let the teacher wait here for a long time." Duan Jian walked into the living room, saluting Di Renjie while eagerly apologizing in his mouth.

"Hey, hey, hey, sit down, you and I don't have to pay attention to these vulgar etiquette, besides, I came here on a whim for the teacher, how can I blame you?" Seeing Duan Jian coming quickly, Di Renjie said with a smile, Speaking of which, Di Renjie is still very satisfied with Duan Jian's student, not only has he learned well, he is clever in accidents, and he will have some amazing ideas from time to time, those ideas make Di Renjie, an old and sophisticated official, also admire it, and with Duan Jian's fame, everyone admires him for his insight and ability to discover Duan Jian's jade in advance.

"I don't know if the teacher is here this time, but what is the important matter." As soon as Duan Jian sat down, he asked eagerly.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that after the court meeting just now, the teacher saw you hurrying away, thinking that you had something important, so I stopped by to take a look, but there is a place where you need help for the teacher." Di Renjie said.

"Ah, I didn't expect the student to be reckless for a while, and even the teacher bothered, in fact, it wasn't that the student was in a hurry, but the student was just above the court, and he heard that after a month, Chang'an City would run out of food, but the hundred officials had no idea, so they wanted to find someone to ask, hoping to get his help, but they didn't expect that in the end it was an empty joy." Hearing that Di Renjie was actually worried because of his impatient behavior, Duan Jian was moved in his heart.

"I see, this is really commendable for the country and the people, but unfortunately it is a little urgent, this matter is not as simple as you imagined, the situation is complicated, and if you are not careful, you may get into a big disaster." Di Renjie first praised Duan Jian's behavior, but the next two sentences made Duan Jian a little surprised.

"Teacher, could it be that Chang'an City is short of food, someone deliberately did it." Duan Jian asked.

"That's not it, such a big event, who dares to do it deliberately, this matter is indeed just caused by natural disasters and coincidences, but later development, but it is because of human promotion." Di Renjie said.

"What is the human factor?" Duan Jian asked with some eagerness.

Seeing Duan Jian's anxious look, Di Renjie did not answer him immediately, but asked rhetorically, "Extraordinary, have you thought about it, this Chang'an City is said to have a population of one million, but how many people really need to buy food to live, and why the Yellow River waterway has just been cut off, and the rumor of this lack of food will soon be known to everyone, is Chang'an City really short of food." ”

A word to wake up the person in the dream, Di Renjie's question, immediately made Duan Jian sober up a little, and secretly thought, "Yes, now is not the next generation, people living in the city can only live by buying food and vegetables, this is the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, at this time, there is no difference between farmers and citizens, except for a very small number of landless people, most of the people have their own fields."

In addition, people at this time have the habit of storing grain, and the crops harvested every year will not be sold casually in addition to paying taxes, but will only be enough for the old snacks at home to drink, and the remaining grain will be sold, which is also the reason why grain merchants can make profits in this era, because food is scarce.

Since this is the case, then the millions of people in Chang'an City, I am afraid that nearly eighty adult families will have enough food to survive this hurdle, after all, the congestion of the Yellow River waterway is not permanent, and after a period of time, it will return to normal, so after a month, there will not be too many people in Chang'an City who are really short of food, and the total is only two or three hundred thousand. ’

Thinking of this, Duan Jian just relaxed, but when he thought of the second question Di Renjie said, his heart suddenly raised again.
