The first snow of the seventeenth year of Koji came a little earlier than usual. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It has only just entered November not long ago, Hangzhou Mansion is sprinkled with snowflakes, this snowflake, so that those who have not seen snow in a year have come to Hangzhou, the broken bridge in the ten views of the West Lake can not be appreciated at any time, there is such a good opportunity, how can those talents not come to chant two lines of poetry?

One day, two days...... The snowflakes are still drifting, and those romantic talents don't dare to go out now, let alone chant poems with folding fans.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, crushing a large area of wheat seedlings and collapsing the thatched huts of many people, and an unprecedented snow disaster is wantonly hitting Hangzhou.

Lord Huang of Qiantang County was worried, and hurriedly put out the grains, pigs, and sheep...... When the sacrifice began, but the snow disaster did not stop, but became bigger and bigger, seeing that the sacrifice was useless, Lord Huang hurriedly told the Hangzhou Mansion, and the Hangzhou Mansion quickly whipped the court.

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi attached great importance to it, and soon transferred 100,000 taels of silver from Taicang to Hangzhou Mansion for disaster relief, and ordered Wang Jing, the imperial historian of the right capital, to be fully responsible for disaster relief and other matters.

Wang Jing was no better, after returning to the house, he patted the snow on his hat, took off his fox fur coat and handed it to the little official on the side, his mouth was panting hot from time to time, and his face was red from the cold.

When he entered the house, a servant brought him a cup of steaming tea, he held a purple sand teapot in both hands, roasted the stove beside him, sat at the desk of the official document, and asked anxiously: "When will the silver from the household department arrive?" ”

"Heavy snow will close the road, at least ten days left!" The little official replied.

"What?" Wang Jing asked in disbelief: "Ten days? Now the corpses in the country streets and alleys are piled up, and in ten days, my imperial history will be done! ”

"Your Excellency, it's not your fault!" The little official asked puzzled.

"It's my fault that it happened in Hangzhou, if this matter is not handled well, I'm afraid the evening will not be guaranteed!" Wang Jing said: "How much silver has been raised by the major chambers of commerce?" ”

"Eight thousand taels." The little official said: "The Chen family is only 5,000 taels, and the rest of the merchants are obstructing in every way, hoarding grain, and raising the price of rice, if it is not controlled, I am afraid it will ......."

The little official did not dare to continue.

"Mercenary!" Wang Jing said: "No wonder Emperor Taizu wants to suppress commercial development!" How much is the price of rice now? ”

"Two, two, one stone."

"It's grown four times, and all these people's consciences have been eaten by dogs?" Lord Wang threw the official document in his hand towards the desk, and his face was extremely ugly.

On Chen's house, Chen Yu swept out a vacant lot in the compound, sprinkled a handful of grain on the clearing, and then covered the grain with a net he had set up, and a long line was buried in the snow, leading to Chen Yu and Huang Wan who peeked in the room not far away.

After a while, the open space was full of sparrows, they looked at the four directions alertly, and after making sure that there was no danger, they began to eat seriously, at the other end, Huang Wan's eyes were bent into a crescent moon, and the long line in his hand was dragged backwards fiercely, and the net fell to the ground, and the sparrows scattered in a hurry, but there were still a lot of nets in the net.

"Haha, I can take the sparrow test at night!" Huang Wan clapped her hands happily.

"Young Master." A little servant in the family ran over and said, "The master is looking for you, it seems that an adult is coming." ”

"Oh, I'll get over here." Chen Yu said.

He knew that this person must be Wang Jing, did you Lord Wang really treat my Chen family as a charity hall?

In the main hall, Lord Wang's face was full of anxiety, and he couldn't even swallow the hot tea that Chen Dafu made for him, but he really didn't think about the tea and the rice was not fragrant.

"Brother Chen, how are you doing?" Wang Jing asked embarrassedly.

If you don't come, I'm fine, you're here, my whole person is not good, how can Chen Dafu not know what kind of calculation this Lord Wang Jing is playing, this businessman in the entire Hangzhou Mansion, is it my Chen family who is a good bully, once or twice I want it to be endless, and Lao Tzu is not a charity hall!

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay!" Chen Dafu said with a smile, after all, this is Lord Yushi, and it is not something he can offend, so when he knew that Lord Wang was coming, he asked the family to inform Chen Yu as soon as possible.

"Hey, Brother Chen is good, I'm not good, the whole people of Hangzhou are not good!" Wang Jing showed a worried look.

Chen Dafu really wants to say, what's my business? But holding back, he asked knowingly, "What's wrong with Lord Wang?" ”

"Hangzhou snow disaster, many people are afraid that they will not be able to survive this pass!" Wang Jing said.

"Didn't the household department have money to set it off?" Chen Dafu asked.

"Hey, it's not a matter of silver now, the major merchants in Hangzhou have deliberately too high the price of rice, and the rice has been copied to one stone and two taels, and the silver allocated by the household department can't withstand such a toss!" Lord Wang said that he deliberately did not say that the silver from the household department had not yet arrived in Hangzhou, but first discussed the issue of prices.

Chen Dafu is a person from the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, since the fall of President Fang, Chen Dafu has taken over the position of president, although he is the president, but these things are not something he can control alone, the price hike is spontaneous by the businessmen, and it has not gone through Chen Dafu at all.

Chen Dafu knew the purpose of Wang Jing's coming, but how could he call the shots about these things?

Seeing that Chen Dafu didn't speak, Wang Jing continued: "Brother Chen Shi is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, can you keep the price of rice down?" ”

Have one's head in the clouds! At this time, Chen Yu walked in with his hands behind his back, you said that if you press it down, you can press it down, will people buy your account? I'm afraid that even if you go to Lord Wang, people won't give you this face, what do businessmen pay attention to? Benefit. With such a big piece of meat in front of you, you let them not eat it, is it possible?

"Lord Wang is here, and the little nephew has not tasted far away, and it is rude!" Chen Yu said with a smile: "It's so cold, adults should rest in Chen's Mansion for a while." ”

"How can I rest, if I delay for a moment longer, there will be one more corpse on the street, where can I be safe?" After Lord Wang finished speaking, he said to Chen Dafu: "I don't know what Brother Chen wants?" ”

"Ugly student, what do you think?" Chen Dafu didn't answer, and asked Chen Yudao instead.

Lord Wang looked at Chen Dafu thoughtfully, and then at Chen Yu, isn't this kid behind this business?

In fact, he thought about it too much, but Chen Dafu didn't want to pay attention to Lord Wang, but it was not easy to refuse, and he didn't know what to say, so he turned to ask Chen Yu.

"My lord, the conversation between the right father and you, the little nephew happened to hear a little about it, and the little nephew feels that this matter cannot be solved by relying on the Chen family!" Chen Yu replied: "It's good that my father is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, but there is no class in this Chamber of Commerce, in other words, everyone is just self-organized, there is no concept of superiors and subordinates, and my father has no right to order them anything." ”

"Then can the Chen family organize the Chamber of Commerce to donate a little more food for disaster relief?" Lord Wang asked expectantly.

"My lord, these merchants can make up enough three thousand taels for you, it is already a great face for the imperial court, the supply of oil and rice in the daily market is very limited, and the price is getting higher and higher day by day, even so, once it is put into the market, it will still be swept away, under such huge benefits, it is impossible for you to let them donate food!" Chen Yu said.

"Humph! Profit-seeking, is it difficult to watch the people starve to death? Lord Wang said angrily.

"In their eyes, disaster relief is the business of the imperial court, and making money is the business of businessmen!" Chen Yu said lightly: "Don't be angry, adults, if you can let my Chen family help, the Chen family will definitely not refuse." ”

"A drop in the bucket, what's the use!" Lord Wang sat down on the stool, rubbing his brows with his hands.

"Haven't the grain and silver allocated by the imperial court arrived?" Chen Yu said: "The snow disaster will not last long, as long as there is a large supply of food, those rich people who hoard goods will not last long, and the price will be reduced!" ”

Wang Jing glanced at Chen Yu, waved his hand and said, "The grain Huyin transferred from Huguang and Hubu was blocked by heavy snow, and it will take at least ten days, but at that time, it will ......."

"Lord Wang can go and borrow food! There are many officials in Hangzhou, and every household has a large amount of land, so it is impossible to be without food, as long as a batch is put into the market and the crisis lasts for ten days, all problems can be solved! ”

"Hey, it's not that I haven't tried, I can lend it to the old man's top sky, it's still meager! It's not enough at all, even if the price of rice is lowered when the market is released, but those rich people will not reduce the price, they believe that this batch of grain is not enough for the market to eat! Lord Wang said.

"The food stock in Hangzhou Mansion is almost gone, if it goes on like this, it won't be a matter of starving to death, the old man is afraid that there will be a rebellion over time!"

Chen Yu saw that the heat was almost over, he thought for a while, and then said: "It's not that there is no way, it's just ......."

Wang Jing's face turned happy after hearing this, and said, "Nephew Xian, tell me what to do?" The old man was grateful. ”

"Businessmen are nothing more than profit, if they can willingly throw out the grain, there is only one way, to give them a greater benefit!" Chen Yu said with a smile.

Wang Jing asked, "What's the explanation?" ”

"The market, give them another market with big profits." Chen Yu said.

After calming down, Wang Jing felt more and more that something was wrong, and there was always a feeling of falling into a trap, but he vaguely felt that this trap would not work if he didn't jump.

"What market?" Lord Wang said vigilantly: "This lesson salt, iron smelting, gold and silver can't be moved!" ”

"Where does Lord Wang want to go? This market is naturally a serious market, a labor market! Chen Yu said.

"Human trafficking? You are crazy? Wang Jing said incredulously.

Chen Yu: "......"

This king thinks so highly of himself, we are great good people, how can we do such a thing?

"Lord Wang is so funny, how can he do such a lawless thing?" Chen Yu explained: "This labor service can also be called manpower, the manpower of batches of refugees! ”
