Chapter 365: Jiangnan Journey (17)
"Husband, I've been staying in Jiangnan for a month, when will I go back?"
That night, You Yan came to Luo Yi's room and said a little impatiently. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After arriving in Jiangnan, she didn't play very well, and Luo Yi didn't accompany her, so she could only follow Zhao Wenyong around the city, eating and drinking, that's all.
After a long time, of course, I can't bear it anymore and want to go back to Chang'an as soon as possible.
Luo Yi smiled: "You came to Jiangnan with you, because you don't worry about me, afraid that I will add another sister to you, but these days, what have you seen?" ”
You Yan pouted: "I haven't seen anything, I'm dealing with official business all day long, annoying..." ”
"When are we going back to Chang'an?"
Luo Yi said: "It's almost over, the food will be raised in a few days, and I will let Hu Ran transfer troops to follow the escort, and I can return when the time comes." ”
"Do you remember what I told you a few days ago, I will take you to Heiyun Mountain at that time, Heiyun Mountain is not far from here, you can go first, I will let Zhao Wenyong protect you, you will go back, we will go back to Chang'an."
"Okay, I'd like to go back and see it too."
Speaking of Heiyun Mountain, You Yan had a bitter face.
It is his hometown, and at the same time, it is also his sad place, and it is the place where the whole family is buried, once upon a time, he still wanted to leave Luo Yi there and live a happy life, but unfortunately the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and in the end he did not succeed.
"Well, there you go."
"Yes."
On this day, Luo Yi arrived at Li Hengbin's house, Li Hengbin was still worried about raising food, and the amount set by Luo Yi for him was 200,000, but in a blink of an eye, the days were almost over, and not much food had been raised. Or to put it simply, not a single load of grain was bought.
Luo Yi came at this time, and Li Hengbin didn't know what to say.
"Master Hou, I really can't do anything, I can't raise food, I hope Lord Hou forgives me."
After Luo Yi entered the lobby, he laughed, sat down and said, "Lord Changshi must blame himself, I already know that the food is uncomfortable, and I don't blame you." ”
"I have come here today to tell you good news, and you will be glad to hear it."
Li Hengbin asked, "What's the good news?" ”
Luo Yi said: "Yesterday, the emperor sent someone to send a decree that the grain and grass needed in the Northern Desert had been transported ten days ago, and the emperor asked me to bring back the military rations raised. In other words, you won't be in a big way, and you won't have to be convicted of not being able to raise food. How's that, isn't it good news? ”
"Good news, good news, haha..."
Li Hengbin was relieved, and happily held the beard under his forehead.
If this is not good news, what is good news?
Luo Yi said: "In a few days, I will return to Chang'an, before leaving, there are a few words, I don't know whether to say or not." ”
"Master Hou, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Luo Yi hesitated and persuaded: "Lord Li, you and Lord Hu have always been at odds, and you have become even more suspicious because of Liu San's affairs, if I leave, you two will inevitably turn against each other, for the sake of the court's major affairs, I advise you, or take peace as your precious." Although Hu Ran is greedy, he is the envoy of Jiangnan Province after all, he holds military power and sits on one side, you are an enemy of him, and there is no good end. ”
"What Master Hou persuaded is that the lower officials should remember."
But in the blink of an eye, Li Hengbin frowned again and said: "Listening to the meaning of Hou Ye, I already know that Hu Ran is a corrupt official, so why not take this opportunity to escort him back to Chang'an." ”
Luo Yi said unhappily: "What I just told you, you forgot?" He is a feudal official of the emperor himself, how can he say that he will be caught? Everything must be reasoned and evidence-based, even if you are guilty, it will not be my turn to come forward, and neither can you. ”
"Who then can do it?"
"What? Do you want to put him to death? ”
"Don't dare."
Luo Yi took a deep breath and said: "That's the matter of the Qin Mission, now that the Qin Messenger is not here, the emperor has no intention of investigating him, and he has not made any mistakes, how can he make a fuss about nothing." ”
Li Hengbin said: "How could he not have made a mistake, the lower officials have found out that Liu San and the others were killed by Hu Ran, and he has a grudge against Liu San for confessing that he abused lynching, so..." ”
Luo Yi said: "Okay, don't you just die dozens of people, he is a festival envoy, he has fought in the south and the north, and has made countless meritorious contributions, the people who died in his hands, there are not a thousand but eight hundred, and now dozens of more people have died, what's the big deal, people can't be resurrected after death, why bother holding on." ”
"Don't shake Jiangnan for these little things, let's keep our duty."
"As for Hu Ran, I will tell him to be a good official in the future and stop being evil, otherwise, I will not let him go."
Luo Yi has already said this, and Li Hengbin can't say anything more, so he pushes the boat down the river and takes a step back, so he should give Luo Yi a face.
Li Hengbin nodded and said, "Okay, listen to Master Hou." ”
............
Jiangnan and his party were finally coming to an end, the grain was raised, Liu San's forces were also defeated, and Hu Ran was extorted 300,000 taels of silver, which will be very useful in the future.
During this trip, Luo Yi also learned about the grain market in Jiangnan and knew the business community in Jiangnan well.
As early as half a month ago, Luo Yi had an idea in his heart to open more than a dozen grain stations in Jiangnan, and put his hand into Jiangnan to buy and sell grain, so as to make profits, but because the time was too tight, Luo Yi was worth putting it aside for the time being.
Now that he is going back to Chang'an, Luo Yi remembered this again.
"Big brother, it's not necessary to open a grain station, you can't make a lot of money selling grain, it's better to open a few more restaurants, Zuixian wine is very popular in Jiangnan." Jiangnan is too big, and now there is only one in Wuyang, which is simply not enough to supply. Avoid a few, and we'll get rich. ”
In the upstairs room, Zhao Wenxian said with a smile.
"I discussed it with Liu Si just now, and he also thinks that the power of Jiangnan Drunken Immortal Residence should be expanded, Jiangnan is a piece of fat, and it is a pity that you can't just lose it and not eat it."
"You know how much money it costs to open a restaurant? How much manpower does it have to be wasted? The most important thing is that Jiangnan already has a drunken immortal residence, and those who want to buy wine will come here, so why avoid one. ”
Luo Yi snorted coldly: "The National Chamber of Commerce has a big business, and there are still many places to use money, and the people have to withdraw money if they save money, if they use all the money, if the people can't take it out, it's not a good thing." ”
Of course, when Luo Yi said this, Liu Si and Zhao Wenxian didn't believe it, saying that the National Business Institute has a big business and a lot of places to use money, which is true, but to say that it can't afford to pay back the people's money, it is a bit of an exaggeration.
Liu Si arched his hand and said: "Brother Luo, I know that you are troublesome and don't want to make trouble, in fact... You don't have to do anything about opening a grain station, or even worry about it, you just need to nod your head. ”
"What do you mean?"
Liu Sidao: "As long as the eldest brother nods and promises the Jiangnan National Chamber of Commerce to allocate 200,000 taels of silver to me, I promise that within a year, all the grain merchants in Jiangnan will be trained to obey, and at least five grain stations will be built in Jiangnan." In the future, if the eldest brother needs food again, or wants to sell food, he doesn't need to go to Jiangnan in person, he only needs to send a letter, and the food exchange is extremely convenient. ”
