At this time, Lin Zhao had already abandoned the boat and stepped ashore, crossed the Beiqing River, and was on his way north to Bozhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the destination is Qingshuize, you have to pass through Bozhou City first, just by the way to inspect the people's customs and understand the people's livelihood situation on Hebei Road after the flooding of the Yellow River. River control is not only about repairing the Yellow River dam, but also involves the recruitment of migrant workers along the river and the livelihood of the people.

As a minister with arbitrary powers, some understanding is perfectly deserved. In addition, Bozhou is an important place in the downstream of the East Stream, and it is also a key area for the existence of floods, so it naturally needs to be traced. As for some issues, we should not rush them, and after we have a clear understanding, we must hit them with one blow. When I first arrived in Bozhou, it was naturally not good to act rashly. The honor guard of the Ministry of Labor was still on the way to the Daimyo's Mansion, and Lin Zhao and his party went out in micro-clothes.

Lin Zhao took Mu Sihong with him, just like a rich son who went out with his wife. Young high-ranking officials like Lin Zhao are rare, so they don't attract special attention. Mu Sihong naturally took the jade boy with her when she went out, this girl has improved her martial arts a lot in recent years, and she has been serving as the guard of the inner house.

This time Lin Zhao and Mu Sihong went out, and Yutong naturally accompanied him, acting as Mrs. Mu's personal maid and guard. Li Cheng took a few masters to act as Lin Zhao's personal servants. In addition, there are many guards from the Bright Moon Sect who are secretly following, absolutely ensuring the safety of the child.

The group looked very natural and inconspicuous, walking slowly all the way, enjoying the beautiful autumn scenery at the same time, but also to visit the people of Hebei Road. In the southern part of Bozhou, perhaps because it is far away from the Yellow River, it belongs to the Beiqing River basin, so it has not encountered the threat of flooding. The disaster was not severe.

Just after a long rain. Crops have been damaged. Cuts in production are inevitable. Seeing such a situation, Lin Zhao couldn't help but shake his head lightly, the luck of the Great Song Dynasty was really bad. Just in time for the cold climate in history, there was a lot of rain in my own country, not to mention serious flooding. The lives of the young nomads on the steppes have also been affected, so there are many phenomena of invading southward and seeking space for survival. The Khitan, Dangxiang, Jurchen and then Mongolia in the back rose to the south. The border troubles of the Song Dynasty were really serious.

Zhao Ji may not have the ability to solve this problem, so it's better to rely on himself! If you go to Liaodong by yourself, you can take advantage of the situation to bring Jin Taizu back, Zhao Ji and his precious son Zhao Ji, forget it!

"Husband, this year's harvest in Hebei doesn't seem to be very good!"

Lin Zhao nodded and said: "Yes, the weather has been sunny for a long time, you see that the water in the field is still very deep, not to mention the inconvenience of harvesting, the poor harvest is certain." ”

"According to this scenario. The price of grain on Hebei Road will definitely be very high this year, right? ”

"Hey, is Sihong getting more and more business-minded?" Lin Zhao suddenly smiled.

Mu Sihong said shyly: "On weekdays, I look at Ruoying teaching Yuelun. Know a little bit! ”

"Hehe, it's very good, it's rare and expensive, Hebei Road is not good as a whole, and the price must be high. Coupled with this year's flooding of the Yellow River, grain prices on Hebei Road will definitely remain high. Lin Zhao looked at the farmers harvesting on the side of the road and sighed softly.

"So these farmers can make more money this year?" Although Mu Sihong was born in a family of smuggler salt dealers, she is also a wealthy family, so she doesn't know much about the lives of these ordinary people.

Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, the harvest is not good, and it is difficult to say whether your own rations are enough or not." What's more, you have to pay grain and taxes like the state, and I'm afraid there won't be much left. ”

"Isn't it possible to borrow money from the government?"

"You mean Seedlings Money?" Lin Zhao smiled lightly, smiled and said nothing, Wang Anshi's idea was very good, but could it really be implemented smoothly? It's okay not to borrow, but I'm afraid that if I borrow, the bankruptcy will be faster. The situation in the past few years has been very unsatisfactory! This year, the disaster in Hebei and Jingdong Road is serious, and Qingmiao is only afraid that there will be an accident in the coming year......

Mu Sihong didn't know much about the things in the court, and when she saw that her husband had a worried face, she immediately changed her tone and said: "Since the price of grain on Hehe Hebei Road will rise, how about we transport some grain over to sell?" ”

Today, the strength of the Meng firm is extraordinary, and it has business from the south to the north. From a commercial point of view, Jianghuai has not been affected by the weather this year, and the price of grain is bound to be low due to a bumper harvest. The water level of the canal is high, and the Meng family has its own water transport boats, so it is very convenient to transport grain to the north. If it can be transported to Hebei Road, the price will inevitably not be low, and it will definitely make a lot of money. In fact, the price of grain in Bianjing is also inevitable, as early as before the autumn harvest, Gu Yuelun arranged for people to go south to buy grain on a large scale.

Mu Sihong manages the back house at home, and she also pays attention to money and food, so it is naturally a good thing to have more income, and it is reasonable to have such an idea.

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment, shook his head lightly and said, "No, the grain has to be transported, but it is not sold, but sent!" ”

"Send? How to send? Mu Sihong was a little surprised, could it be that Cheng Fu Lang meant that it could not be given away for nothing?

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "That's right, it's for free." Inform Yuelun and ask him to mobilize more ships and transport more grain to Hebei Road. It is said that in order to celebrate the full moon of the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, each family will send 50 catties of grain, until the end of delivery. Porridge sheds are set up in front of all shops on Hebei Road. ”

"Husband? That's a lot of money! Mu Sihong was very distressed, and vaguely showed that her husband's behavior was a bit of a loser.

"Our family is not short of money, just spend it!" There are some things that can't be said explicitly, but Lin Zhao knows it very well in his heart. Does an emperor care about money? What's the point of money when your goal is to ascend to the throne? Today's money is just a tool!

In this year's Hebei Road, the price of grain will skyrocket, and the relief of the imperial court may not be able to keep up. Bringing in some food might save a lot of people.

"Sihong, you also saw it on the way here, people have begun to be displaced and begging along the streets. Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and we will send some food for disaster relief, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue for Qiu Ning and the two unborn children! Although Lin Zhao said this, the most fundamental purpose was to create fame in this way.

To put it bluntly, it is a bit of a reputation. But the name of this good man is necessary and meaningful to him. As Di Qing said, the world of those who win the hearts of the people. Harnessing the Yellow River is a means to win the hearts and minds of the people, but the effect is relatively limited. Not all the people know about it, or they are grateful to Dade.

Disaster relief is different, just a few dozen catties of food, but it can really save lives, and after knowing it, add some necessary publicity. The effect is absolutely good, and it complements each other with river control, and it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Anyway, the Lin family is not short of this money now, and spending a certain amount of money to do more things is the most important thing.

"What? Wouldn't my little money fan want to? ”。 Lin Zhao said: "Money is something outside the body, and it can be earned again if there is no more." Sometimes spending a little money is to make a lot of money and do big things, you know? ”。

"Yes, remember the teachings of the husband!" Mu Sihong thought about it, and it seemed to be the same thing. The husband is already a marquis, and the family has a lot of properties, so this idea of money is nothing at all. What's more, I heard that the cement manufacturing of the river control this time was jointly organized by the government and business, and the Lin family made a lot of money because of it. The husband's move must be a reward for the court! Such fame and fortune are naturally the best. Mu Sihong also knows that prestige is also crucial to an official.

In fact, while Lin Zhao "sells his reputation", it is also to reduce some trouble. He governs the river in Hebei Road and enjoys the right to arbitrary, and at this time the family comes to turn business. After making money, you may be said to be using your power for personal gain, or whatever, some loss of reputation.

The last time he sent an envoy to Tibet to open up the trade route from Hehuang to the Western Regions, the Meng family intervened. There were sporadic impeachments in the imperial history, and in the end, it was over. But this time it's different, Hebei is paying attention all over the world, which is not trivial, and anything may be infinitely magnified.

Lin Zhao still has big things to do, so he doesn't want to be affected by these little things and affect his progress. It's better to spend a little more money and completely sell your reputation once.

Mu Sihong can only understand part of it one-sidedly, but she naturally obeys what her husband says. When Bianjing received the news, Gu Yuelun would definitely fully cooperate. It's really not a thing to spend some money, to accumulate virtue for Qiu Ning and those children, why not for yourself? I hope that God will look at good deeds above doing good deeds and give himself a child as soon as possible.

"Li Cheng, let the Thunder side also cooperate with this matter, do you know the most important rumors?". Lin Zhao is rushing to sell his reputation and reputation, and he can't leave his name for doing good deeds, but he wants more people to know about it, and the secret publicity of this matter can only be handed over to Mingyue Sect to do.

"Don't worry, Childe, you can also help with food!" Mingyuezong is not just an intelligence agency, but also very good in terms of economic strength. When they make a move, they can naturally make things move faster.

"Well, but you have to pay attention to the degree, and you should also pay attention to this when promoting, don't be too obvious, attract the attention of others, and it won't be beautiful!"

"Childe, rest assured, Thunder has always handled things safely, and he will definitely handle it properly."

"Hmm!" For Jiang Leiting, Lin Zhao is still very relieved.

"By the way, how is the information collection of Hebei Road**?" This is also an important point, and if you want to be surprised, you must understand it in advance.

"There is progress, and when Childe wants to use it, he will definitely present it." Li Chengdao: "Actually, the sect master has already made arrangements on Hebei Road, and the sect master will personally go to the Daimyo's Mansion at that time, so that he can help the son and deal with the old fox." ”

The old fox is naturally Han Qi! It seems that Di Qing is very jealous and resentful of Han Qi, and he has already prepared it! No matter what the reason, Han Qi is an enemy, so naturally he doesn't have to be polite. Di Qing was quite loyal to his father and to himself. Why not do some personal things for him to vent his evil anger?

Han Xianggong, I'm really sorry! (To be continued......)
