Qian Boyi nodded and sighed: "What Zhong Yan said is indeed good, where do we get the grain?" ”

Mrs. Su pondered, and said to Chu Huan with a smile again: "Chu Xiaoyou, you are also clear about our situation, I don't know if Chu Xiaoyou can help us Xiguan Seven Surnames?" It is said that our Northwest people are brave and ruthless, but our Northwest people are affectionate, and it is also famous, if Chu Xiaoyou can help our Xiguan Seven surnames through this difficulty, not only my Xiguan Seven surnames, but the entire Xiguan Daohao clan will also remember Chu Xiaoyou's favor. ”

Chu Huan knew that the seven surnames of Xiguan had indeed reached the point where there was no way out, otherwise, as Old Lady Su, it would never be possible to speak to a junior in such a low voice and in a begging tone.

Although Linlang didn't speak, she looked at Chu Huan, although she knew that it was a bit inappropriate to use her relationship with Chu Huan to get involved in this matter, but the foundation of the Su family for several generations was in danger of being destroyed, but she had no other way, in her heart, she only felt that any problem could always be solved in front of Chu Huan.

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally said: "Old lady, your Xiguan seven surnames are the representatives of the Xiguan Daohao clan, I think as long as the Xiguan seven surnames don't fall, the Xiguan Hao clan won't fall!" ”

Old Lady Su's eyes showed a rare look of pride at this time, and she bowed her head and said: "Chu Xiaoyou is right, as long as the seven surnames of Xiguan do not fall, then the Xiguan Hao clan will also stand." ”

"This point, other wealthy families in Xiguan are naturally very clear." Chu Huan said slowly: "Anyway, if Gao Lian's gang really pours into Xiguan Dao, they will do their best to control Xiguan, and they will definitely suppress the Xiguan Hao clan, so that the influence of the Xiguan Hao clan in Xiguan Dao will slowly weaken until they die." Therefore, according to Chu, the big and small wealthy families in Xiguan have actually been waiting for the seven surnames of Xiguan to lead them to make a comeback! ”

Old Lady Su said solemnly: "Chu Xiaoyou has extraordinary knowledge, that's exactly the case. This is powerful, the Xiguan Hao clan knows it, and they will not easily succumb to the gang of Gao Lian. ”

"As the saying goes, a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, not to mention that the Xiguan Hao clan may not all have reached the point of exhaustion." Chu Huan said: "With the prestige of the old lady and Uncle Qian in Xiguan Dao, if the Xiguan Hao clan gathers again, this force can still not be ignored, whether it is in terms of public opinion or influence, no one dares to despise it." More importantly, the Northwest Hao clan is above the reputation, but it is still deeply respected by the people of the world, over the years, the Xiguan Hao clan has accumulated contacts and reputation, I think this time should be completely used. ”

Old Lady Su and the others looked at each other, Wu Zi was a little puzzled, and asked, "Chu Xiaoyou, forgive the old man for being dull, can you point something out!" ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "In fact, the old lady has always felt that the seven surnames of Xiguan are now down, and it seems that there is no way out, but in fact, according to Chu, it is not necessarily the case. As Fang Cai said, if the seven surnames of Xiguan want to make a comeback, the first condition is to obtain a large number of grains. ”

Old Lady Su and Qian Boyi and the others thought that Chu Huan had any good opinions, but when they heard this, they all disagreed, Qian Boyi had already shook his head and smiled: "Chu Xiaoyou, you said that someone will lend us grain now?" ”

"What does Uncle Qian mean?"

"Chu Xiaoyou, I won't hide it from you, my Qian family also has some old friends in the Guannei, when the Northwest War was in turmoil, the Qian family entered the customs, and wanted to go to the old acquaintance, so they sent several people to make a front stop, they were all old friends who had a close relationship with the Qian family, but when I heard that our Qian family wanted to take refuge with our family, they didn't even have a good word." Qian Boyi smiled bitterly: "People are warm and cold, the world is hot and cold, and only when you reach the trough can you taste it." Looking at Linlang, there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "If it weren't for Linlang's niece to take care of me, my Qian family would be young, and now I'm afraid I'm still hungry ......!" He looked very helpless.

Old Lady Su bowed slightly, and also deeply agreed with Qian Boyi's words, and said: "Chu Xiaoyou, it's not that we don't borrow, others don't even want to take it in, where are you willing to take out your own stored grain to make us grain?" ”

Chu Huan smiled and said: "Old lady, to say something inappropriate, people die for money, birds die for food, big businessmen, even more profit first, the old friends refuse to be contained, but it does not mean that they will not borrow grain, the younger generation thinks that if the conditions offered by the old lady are attractive enough, the wealthy families in the Guannai may not be willing to borrow grain." Let's just say Xishan Road, there are not a few wealthy families who have grain in their homes......! Looking at Linlang, he said with a smile: "Let's just say that our Su Dadong family, there is a lot of grain in the warehouse!" ”

Linlang glanced at Chu Huan, and the others saw that Chu Huan spoke easily, but the solemn state of mind had been slightly alleviated, the old lady and Qian Boyi were also experienced people after all, Chu Huan said a few words, and faintly felt that a door was opening, and the old lady had already said: "Chu Xiaoyou means that we can propose a rich return, so as to borrow food from the wealthy clan in Guannei?" ”

Chu Huan said: "You must all know that the current grain prices in the northwest are really sensational, and it is precisely because Gao Lian's gang holds the grain in their hands that they dare to make such a request with the imperial court." In fact, as far as I know, the wealthy families in the Guannai know that the price of grain in the northwest has soared, and many people even want to take the opportunity to make a profit, but the wealthy families in the northwest are to prevent the wealthy families in the Guannai from taking the opportunity to enter, so whether it is the wealthy families in the northwest or the government, it is forbidden for the grain of the wealthy families in the Guannai to flow in, unless the local wealthy families in the northwest, the grain of the wealthy families in the Guannai cannot enter the Xigu Pass at all. ”

Linlang nodded and said, "Exactly." Linlang also heard that there were many wealthy families in Anyi and Xishan who learned that the price of grain in the northwest had soared, and they were all preparing to enter the customs, and some people had even sent a grain team to go to the northwest. ”

"So the wealthy family in the Guannai wanted to make a lot of money, but the road was blocked." Chu Huan said: "Now the southeast and northwest are not peaceful, in order to prevent disturbances in other places, it is clearly forbidden to take advantage of the opportunity for grain prices to skyrocket, especially in the ministry area, it is in this area that the government has always controlled the fluctuation of grain prices, so the gentry of the Hao clan have grain in their hands, but it is not profitable at all." ”

Old Lady Su's originally cloudy eyes shone brightly.

Qian Boyi shook his head and said, "Chu Xiaoyou, even if the wealthy clan in the Guannei really wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, but ...... What does this have to do with our borrowing of grain? We don't have any money, so how dare they take the risk of lending us food? ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Everyone in the world likes to have advantages and no losses, but not everyone can do this. If you want to make a big profit, you have to take a lot of risks, and you know it, and they know it. After a pause, he said: "But you must also be prepared in your hearts, if you want the wealthy clan in Guannai to take a great risk to borrow food, the price you have to pay will definitely be not small." ”

The old lady said: "If we can borrow grain and keep the land, we are willing to bear the maximum price." After a pause, he frowned slightly: "It's just that the seven surnames of Xiguan want to get enough grain, and the amount of grain they need is by no means a minority, and the old man is worried that the wealthy clans in Guannei who dare to take risks are not in the majority." ”

Chu Huan said: "What the old lady said is that even if the high and lucrative conditions are proposed, the wealthy families in the Guannai may not be able to borrow grain easily. Wei Yi groaned, and then said: "In the opinion of the younger generation, if you want the wealthy family in Guannai to take the risk of borrowing food, the most important thing is that someone takes this first step." Huge benefits, of course, can make people's hearts, but the situation is unclear, no one dares to act rashly, if a few highly famous wealthy families take the lead in borrowing grain, I think other wealthy families will see such a scene, they will also dare to borrow grain. ”

Qian Boyi immediately said: "Yes, as long as someone opens this opening, things will go much smoother!" ”

Seeing that Chu Huan finished saying something today, the road ahead of Xiguan Qi seemed to suddenly open up, and a smile finally appeared on her face, she always felt that her man was omnipotent, that is, when the big thing came to him, he could always find a solution by understatement, and Chu Huan obviously did not disappoint him.

Su Zhongyan has never spoken, at this time he saw that things had taken a turn for the better, but his heart was very happy, and at this time, looking at Chu Huan's expression, he was even more humble, and said: "Lord Chu, you are an important minister of the imperial court, you are in the household department, and the household department is in charge of the world's money and grain, I don't know ......!" Before he finished speaking, Chu Huan had already picked up the chopsticks and probed the chopsticks to clip the cold lion's head on the table, but the old lady had already coughed and gave Su Zhongyan a look, and Su Zhongyan hurriedly stopped.

The old lady was like a mirror in his heart, Chu Huan was invited to eat today, and he said so much clearly at the wine table, it was completely for Linlang's face, if it wasn't for Linlang, Chu Huan would not say more than a word, Chu Huan was able to tell so much today, it was already benevolent and righteous, as soon as Su Zhongyan spoke, the old lady understood Su Zhongyan's thoughts, he knew that Su Zhongyan wanted to take advantage of Chu Huan's relationship in the household department, and wanted Chu Huan to transfer food from the household department, regardless of whether Chu Huan had the ability to do so, The old lady knew that this request must not be made.

This is a dispute between wealthy families in the northwest, although there will inevitably be countless officials involved, but the old lady feels that at this time, if he wants to pull Chu Huan in through the relationship between Linlang, it is really inch-in, too indisputable.

What Chu Huan should say has been made very clear, but the rest of the things still have to rely on the seven surnames of Xiguan to plan by themselves, after all, the seven surnames of Xiguan were also dominant in the northwest for a while, and there are few capable people in between, and now Chu Huan has named the road, how many thorns are there on this road, but it is still up to the seven surnames of Xiguan to cut it themselves.

The old lady had already trembled up at this time, picked up the wine glass, held it with both hands, and said to Chu Huan: "Chu Xiaoyou, listen to your words, let me, a ten-year-old man, benefit a lot, today the old man will temporarily borrow flowers to offer Buddha, with a glass of water and wine, thank Chu Xiaoyou for his guidance, from today on, Chu Xiaoyou is the benefactor of our Xiguan seven surnames, this kindness, Xiguan seven surnames, generations will not forget!" ”

Qian Boyi also stood up immediately, and said solemnly: "The Qian family will never forget Chu Xiaoyou's kindness!" ”

Chu Huan hurriedly got up, took a cup and said: "Old lady, Uncle Qian, you are like this, the younger generation really can't afford it, today everyone is just sitting together drinking and chatting for a few drinks, the younger generation has a superficial knowledge, and I want more guidance from the elders!" ”

The old lady and Qian Boyi's eyes both showed admiration and admiration, but they only felt that Chu Huan was decent, knowledgeable, and flexible, and he was really a leader among young people.

Everyone stood up, drank a cup together, and after sitting down, Chu Huan probed the chopsticks and pinched the lion's head again, but he didn't pick the vegetables, just picked them twice, and said with a smile: "This lion's head looks like it's packed in a bowl, and it looks like it's working together, but these chopsticks pick it twice, and then they disperse, it seems that they are not as united as they seem on the surface, which is really interesting!" ”

When the old lady and Qian Boyi heard this, they immediately understood something, and the corners of their mouths were filled with smiles.
