Chapter 159: Could it be that Lord Fei also wants to taste it?
Huai Jin thinks that this matter is more like a temptation.
Zheng Mingxuan touched his chin, and at this moment, his face seemed to begin to show some of the temperament of a businessman.
"Temptation?" Mo Ye looked at Frontal Xun, who finally showed a little bit of profiteer's appearance, and blinked his eyes and said in confusion.
"Hehe, Brother Mo must also know that Shi Xian's exit now, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but in fact, the dangerous shoals are everywhere, and if you are not careful, it will be a situation where the ship will fall into the water. At that time, many people who were still on the boat were afraid that not only would they not throw down the rope, but they would lift anchor and start the boat, and even throw a few stones......"
"Brother Huaijin, don't talk to Xiao Mo, he doesn't understand. You don't have to understand. ”
Glancing back at Mo Ye, who was confused, Jia Rudao interrupted Zheng Mingxuan's words with a smile.
When Zheng Mingxuan heard Jia Yidao say this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he smiled at him, so he stopped talking.
What Zheng Mingxuan wanted to say, Jia Rudao was naturally very clear. Obviously, Zheng Mingxuan can have this huge family business now, and he naturally has his advantages, but what he said just now made Jia Yidao have a deeper understanding of him, but it doesn't stop there.
Compared with Zheng Mingxuan, he naturally has his advantages in looking at problems, and he obviously sees it more thoroughly than ordinary people. However, because he is a businessman, he is thorough, and he inevitably mixes some utilitarian thinking of businessmen.
Jia Yidao was also a businessman before. It's just that Zheng Mingxuan said these things, how could he not see them?
If Zheng Jing hadn't pretended to be too much, or if he was too eager to tell Jia Yidao what he wanted to say. Jia Yidao may not be able to see that Zheng Jing is pretending.
The children of the family have wine bags and rice bags, squirts, and waste, but it is absolutely impossible for him to say nothing like Zheng Jing, just bright and scared like a dog. Not to mention, Zheng Jing is still a child of the clan, although he is a distant relative. However, it has been decided that it is impossible for Jia Yidao to kill him. And more importantly, Zheng Jing still attempted to commit a crime, and there is no possibility that he will be chopped by Jia Yidao.
Therefore, when Zheng Jing suddenly knelt on the ground in fright, Jia Rudao knew that Zheng Jing was pretending.
It doesn't matter if Zheng Jing is pretending, what matters is what prompted Zheng Jing to do this; Was it Zheng Jing's personal will or was there someone behind him who asked him to do that, such as King Pu; If it is the King of Sipu, then this King of Sipu, who has never been in contact with Jia Yidao, why did he suddenly do this? What do you want to do? This is what Jia Yidao really wonders.
Zheng Kuo, maybe it's a reason.
But Zheng Kuo still said it by Zheng Jing himself. Of course, maybe Zheng Jing thought that Jia Yidao had already known his identity, so this suspicion could be put aside for the time being.
In his previous life, Jia Nidao was also a businessman, and he was a quite successful businessman, so Zheng Mingxuan's thoughts Jia Nidao could probably guess a few points. It's just that from the time he chose to meddle in the assassination of Jia Guifei and stepped into the officialdom step by step, Jia Yidao deliberately used his businessman's thinking to think about the current chaotic political situation in the Great Song Dynasty.
Of course, Jia Rudao's thinking as a businessman is naturally more direct and comprehensive than Zheng Mingxuan's thinking, after all, he has already stepped into officialdom and knows much more about the current situation of the imperial court than Zheng Mingxuan, an outsider.
But chaos is politics or a shopping mall, everything is nothing more than one word, interests.
Profit-seeking, perhaps with a clearer purpose; In terms of political interests, there may be more compromise and win-win results, but of course the causes and effects are also much more complicated. After all, if you can make money in the mall, you win; But in politics, sometimes the loser may be the winner.
Of course, whether it is a shopping mall or a political mall, there are not many strict boundaries, but political things are far more complicated and dirty than shopping malls.
Jia Yidao is not yet a qualified politician, at least at present, he is definitely far behind, but at least he is a qualified businessman, at least he was a qualified businessman for the first half of his life.
Therefore, what he considered was that if he did this matter according to the ideas of Zheng Jing or the people behind Zheng Jing, then what he could gain and what he would lose. As for what will happen to others, what does it have to do with him?
At least on the surface, the Great Song Dynasty is still Zhao Yun's world. As long as he shows enough things for Zhao Yun to make up his mind to support him, then with the biggest boss Zhao Yun supporting him, what else is he worried about doing so much?
Even if he loses, as long as he doesn't step on the red line, at most he will lose a black yarn, and with Jia Guifei here, he won't lose his head? As long as you don't lose your head, then everything is possible, let alone in this troubled world?
This is also the main reason why he suddenly broke out in the Qinzheng Hall before, directly ignoring and even provoking Qiao Xingjian, Yuan Fu, Li Shao, Li Mingfu and other ministers, Guogong, university scholars, and deputy ministers to be so arrogant.
Qiao Xingjian is powerful, and his qualifications are high enough. But so what? Whether it's politics, shopping malls, or anything else, in the final analysis, it all depends on strength. As long as there is enough strength, no amount of intrigue and slander is useless.
And now in the Great Song Dynasty, it is obvious that Zhao Yun is the biggest boss who can overturn all the falsehoods. Although this boss has all kinds of restrictions, it can't really be unscrupulous.
This is enough for Jia Yidao.
What's more, he is not without allies, nor is he a single person. Why should you be wronged and let others knead like a small sufferer? Perhaps, the more people he offends and the more domineering he behaves, the more Zhao Yun will support him?
Of course, this premise is that he must have the capital to let Zhao Yun support him.
The emperor is said to be alone, how can he like his ministers to hold together?
However, Jia Rudao was able to figure out this, and he had to thank Qiao Xingjian and others. If it weren't for Qiao Xingjian's anxious desire to step on Jia Nidao and push him to the position of the prefect of Lin'an Mansion to roast, Jia Nidao might not have planned to fight against these old foxes at all, after all, even if Zhao Yun supported it again, he would be a newcomer fighting with those deep-rooted old things, it would also be a matter of killing 10,000 enemies and losing 3,000 himself, which is obviously contrary to the fundamental purpose of businessmen to pursue profits.
Jia seemed to be speechless, and Zheng Mingxuan just casually looked at the copywriting on the table, so naturally he would not be speechless anymore. As for Mo Ye, he couldn't understand these things at all, so naturally he wouldn't make a sound.
"Huai Jin, how long can all the food in our hands last now?"
"If it is 500,000 people, all the food will be guaranteed for a month at most."
Jia Rudao deliberately accentuated the words "All the grain", and Zheng Mingxuan naturally stood out.
There are three main parts of the food that the displaced people eat every day: first, it is the food provided to him by Zheng Mingxuan and several giant businessmen behind him, of course, Zheng Mingxuan's family provides more than half, and he took out all the more than 500,000 stone grain that was brewed this year, and if you add the rest, there are almost more than one million stone of grain, which is also where Jia Yidao's confidence lies.
When Zheng Mingxuan said that they could provide so much food with just three or four giant businessmen and still blamed themselves, Jia Rudao finally understood that the Great Song Dynasty was rich for everything.
Presumably, the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty was all in the people, but the court was so poor that it almost didn't even make a deposit.
In addition to the more than one million grains provided by Zheng Mingxuan's giant merchants, there are also almost more than one million stones of bran, which Zheng Mingxuan purchased according to Jia Yidao's intentions.
Of course, whether it is grain, bran, or other things such as medicinal herbs, etc., Jia Rudao has to pay. However, this payment will definitely not be based on today's market price. But even so, Jia Rudao personally owed Zheng Mingxuan and others almost more than two million taels of silver. Although some of this silver can be offset with the right of salt and iron franchise, the part that is offset is less than one-third, which means that there is at least two-thirds, that is, almost nearly one and a half million taels of silver, which is the debt that Jia Yidao has to find a way to repay afterwards.
This is also a condition for him to be able to get so many negotiating benefits for Zheng Mingxuan from Zhao Yun, and it is also the most important condition.
Although Zhao Yun is the emperor, although Jia Yidao is busy maintaining Zhao Yun's country by borrowing money and food, but when it comes to the problem of silver, Zhao Yun doesn't see rabbits at all, and he doesn't have any benefits, so he made so much money in vain. It can be seen that Zhao Yun is indeed poor.
Whether it is the right of salt and iron or the city department, all kinds of profit sharing authority, in the final analysis, Zhao Yun will give it to whoever he gives, no matter who he gives it, Zhao Yun will not take a penny less, let alone lose a piece of meat? It's just others who suffer.
The daily food of the homeless people is mixed with seventy percent of the grain and thirty percent of the bran, and as for the vegetables, a large pot of wild vegetable soup is enough. These things, the homeless people naturally do not know the way.
The homeless people don't know the way, but the officials of Lin'an Mansion and the soldiers of the front division of the palace can't know the way. For this reason, Jia Rudao specifically told anyone not to speak out. This is also the main reason why Jia Yidao frowned when he heard Zheng Jing say to eat chaff before.
If the imperial court really has no food, I am afraid that it really gave the bran to the homeless people to eat, and I am afraid that the homeless people will only thank God and be grateful. After all, you're about to die, so it's nice to have something to eat, isn't it?
But now, the imperial court has provided food, and all the displaced people are not hungry, although they do not have much to eat. Maybe some homeless people have already discovered the presence of bran in their meals, but as long as no one says it, it is not a big deal. Once the matter is really put on the table, once the matter of mixing bran in grain spreads, it is estimated that he has paid so much to these hundreds of thousands of homeless people, and he is afraid that he will end up with a stench for 10,000 years, and will be scolded by hundreds of thousands of homeless people poking his backbone behind his back every day.
When there is a threat to life without food, even if there is Guanyin soil to eat, it is good; But once there is no threat to life, then even a little moldy grain will be magnified countless times, not to mention that he is mixed with bran and other things that feed livestock.
This is the human heart, and it is also the root nature of inferiority.
Jia Rudao had no way to solve it, so he could only hide it. After all, he couldn't do it, and completely used bran to save the lives of these hundreds of thousands of victims. However, Zheng Jing said it.
Maybe he's just a quick talker, but if you contact him about pretending to be stupid and digging a hole to pull hatred, it's obviously not so simple.
If it's a slip of the tongue, it's okay, at least for now, it's still friend or foe; If you deliberately pretend to be a slip of the tongue, you are not friend or foe. Naturally, the nature is different.
"That is to say, if we are a million displaced people, even if all the bran is counted, we will only have enough food in our hands for a month at most?"
After listening to Zheng Mingxuan's estimate, Jia Yidao frowned.
"Brother Shi Xian, judging from the speed at which the displaced people are gathering now, I am afraid that it will only take half a month at most for a million displaced people. Therefore, in terms of millions of displaced people, the food can support a month and a half, which is already the most optimistic estimate. If it's more than a million ......"
He didn't say the rest of the words, but he understood the meaning. If there are more than one million people, I am afraid that all the food prepared will not be able to support even a month.
Although the truth is cruel, Zheng Mingxuan has to tell the truth.
How can it be calm outside Lin'an City now, Jia Nidao can be so stable, and even ridicule Qiao Xingjian and others, it is because Jia Nidao still has food in his hands. After more than a month, there is no progress in raising grain, so once there is no food, Lin'an City will be chaotic, and his good life will come to an end.
High returns are inevitably proportional to high risks.
Jia Rudao knows this very well.
"Tomorrow, no, now, Brother Zheng will be on the ...... Forget it, I'll find someone to do it myself. ”
"If there is something to do, Shi Xian just commands."
"Today I will order someone to run out of food for the imperial court. The news of the daily coarse grains plus bran came out. I already have someone in mind to handle this matter, so Brother Huai Jin should focus on raising food, and the food in our hands must be enough to support the needs of millions of displaced people for two or even three months. Shixian can only ask Brother Huai Jin for this matter. ”
"What? Two months or even three months? ”
When Zheng Mingxuan heard Jia Yidao's words, he was instantly shocked.
"Two months, three months, it's just the best estimate."
“…… Huai Jin could only say to Shi Xian to do his best......" Zheng Mingxuan was silent for a while, and said helplessly.
"My lord, everyone has brought it."
Zhao Yi's voice came from outside the tent.
There are more than 500,000 people, and now the more than 40,000 soldiers of the front division of the palace and the fast guards of Lin'an Mansion have all been transferred out of the city to maintain the order of the disaster camp, and the daily inspections in Lin'an City are all taken over by the forbidden army, plus those generals Although the camps are also outside the city, it is obvious that it is not the turn of the commanders to go to the patrol on weekdays, so Zhao Yi is also very quick to find them.
"Let them wait outside the tent, and the official will come, and you will go and bring all the bitter masters."
Jia Rudao hugged Zheng Mingxuan with a fist to show his gratitude, and commanded loudly.
"The last general obeys!"
Across the tent, Jia Rudao was able to stand up to the tent, and the generals were obviously very dissatisfied, and there was a lot of commotion. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Let's go, go out and meet these noble children." ”
"By the way, Brother Li, that little Cui'er has a good figure, why don't I change them at night?"
"I said Brother Yuan, you sing every night, but you robbed the brothers and the three girls, and you still think about me? Aren't you afraid to bend your waist? ”
"Ha Luha, Brother Yuan, can't you eat those three girls? That's why you're looking for me to change? ”
"Fart! Will Yuan not be able to eat those three? I just came out and was refreshed...... Ha Lu Ha! ”
……
Outside the tent, nearly 20 or so palace front-line soldiers will laugh loudly in various standing postures, but the words are becoming more and more unbearable.
Seeing Jia Rudao come out, they all hurriedly stopped, hugged their arms and looked at Jia Rudao, but no one saw the ceremony?
These disheveled generals in front of the palace did not notice the cold glint in Jia Yidao's eyes.
"I said, my lord, the last generals are all on patrol, what are you doing when you summoned us?"
It was a horse-faced man with a black mole on the left side of his face who seemed to have come in a hurry, and the general didn't even wear armor, but only a single coat, and his chest was open, revealing his thick black chest hair.
Hearing the voice of the old duck, Jia Rudao's eyes froze. It was this voice that was just cooled before it was spoken. And listening to the titles of those generals, it is obvious that this person should be Yuan Fu's nephew Yuan Tong if he is not mistaken.
"General Yuan, does this look like you're on patrol?" Jia Yidao looked at Yuantong and said with a smile.
"Uh...... It's too hot......"
"Ha Luha, Yuan Tong, you are on patrol to the woman's belly, right?"
"That's it, it's still three girls......"
……
The former general of the Yigan Hall looked at Yuan Fu and smiled unscrupulously, obviously not taking Jia Yidao in his eyes at all.
Zhao Yi, who stood back behind Jia Rudao, snorted coldly and wanted to speak, Jia Yidao waved his hand, and Shi Shiran stood in place and looked at the disheveled generals in front of the palace and laughed.
Although Jia Rudao is also the commander of the front division of the palace, most of the time is mainly in the government affairs of Lin'an Mansion, the first is that he has no time to take care of these ruffians, and the second is also thinking that these ruffians can do what they should do according to his arrangement, and he doesn't think that they can surprise him, and he is also too lazy to make extraneous branches and see them angry.
After all, the difference between civil and military affairs exists everywhere, not to mention the generals of the front division of the palace, most of them are the sons of nobles. He wasn't worried about offending Qiao Xingjian and the others, but he didn't want to make the whole city full of enemies, right?
He thought that everyone would just go, but obviously, even if Zhao Qi was removed from his post and Zheng Kuo, the deputy commander, could not come, it would not have any effect on the generals of these palaces, and he was too lazy to deal with these people, but these people obviously didn't take him seriously.
Yuan Tong and the others laughed and scolded for a while, and seemed to feel bored and finally stopped.
"Enough laughing?" Jia Rudao looked at Yuan Tong and said with a smile.
Yuan Tong smiled and nodded, "My lord......"
"Are the three girls sleeping comfortably?"
“…… Uh, it's refreshing. Isn't it that adults want to ...... Try? ”
Looking at the smiling Jia Rudao, Yuan Tong couldn't help but be stunned. Immediately saw Mo Ye behind Jia Yidao, a pair of triangular eyes instantly glowed green, but he couldn't take his eyes off anymore.
