Chapter 109: The Prime Minister's Siege

At this time, Zhang Shixun suddenly interjected: "Lord Wang, in fact, the problem of food is not impossible to solve!" ”

Zhao Yu was shocked in his heart, when did this old guy Zhang Shixun become so kind? How could he give himself advice? However, Zhao Yu still decided to listen to it. So he followed Zhang Shixun's tone and asked modestly. "I don't know what Zhang Xianggong's plan is? This king is here to thank Zhang Xianggong in advance! ”

Zhang Shixun has a delicate appearance, and when he smiles, he gives people a kind and elegant feeling. However, his following words made Zhao Yu feel that Zhang Shixun was hateful.

I only heard Zhang Shixun say calmly: "The prince is polite!" The old man is just talking about it! In the final analysis, this matter is still your own help. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shixun continued: "The old man heard that the granary next to the Tokyo Stadium is the king's, right? Looking at that scale, I'm afraid it's 100,000 stone stored, right? If there is that 100,000 stone of grain, these are enough to make the victims of Jingdong East Road no longer starve to death! This is truly a great blessing for the country! ”

The object that Zhao Yu wanted to draw his sword and kill him most immediately changed from the third envoy Li Shi to Zhang Shixun, the old man. Nima's, this king is still thinking about whether you have some conscience, and it turns out that he is thinking of a plan to kill two birds with one stone!

There's so much food in your granary? And you want to poach a lot of money from me for nothing!

The third envoy Li Shi seemed unwilling to be dragged away by Zhang Shixun, and at this time he came to raise the hatred again, and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, although the prince is a member of the Great Song Dynasty, home is a family, and a country is a country!" The money that should be given, the country will not be less, Lord Wang! I remember that when the prince bought food, it was 300 wen and one stone, right? We can't lose your lord, just buy it at 360 yuan, increase the market price by 20%! ”

If you want to say that Zhao Yu's heart is as greasy and crooked as he is, what Li Shi said is better than blowing, but in fact, Zhao Yu is pitted in and out of his words.

First of all, Zhao Yu did not have as much grain as 100,000 stones, in fact, there were only 80,000. After all, the granary is not something that can be built, and the cost is not low.

And these 80,000 stone grain is still the past, after the winter, Zhao Yu began to sell grain, especially with the drought in Jingdong, food prices soared, Zhao Yu sold more. Now there are only about 40,000 stones left, don't look at how much Zhao Yu has sold, but Zhao Yu's reputation in Bianliang City is better.

Although Zhao Yu did make a fortune from the disaster, it was precisely because of his large number of sales in the early stage that the rising grain prices were suppressed to a certain extent.

Now that there is no good reward for his kindness, he was squeezed by Zhang Shixun in words to ask him Zhao Yu to use 40,000 stones as 100,000 stones, how can this continue?

The words of the third envoy Li Shi are hateful, when Zhao Yu purchased grain, it was indeed three hundred wen and one stone, but when was it, the harvest in June! Don't you need money to store? Even if there is a large-scale drought like this year, it will take two or three years for the cost of a granary alone to recover its costs. The labor has not been calculated, and the grain does not mean that it can be put into the granary, but it is necessary to check whether there is moisture, and the moisture grain must be taken out and dried.

In addition to this, there is the killing of rats and the hiring of guards to guard the granary. And so on, the daily expenditure is quite considerable.

Taking a step back, the price of grain in Bianliang City is now as high as 6560 wen and one stone, but the third envoy Li Shi has offered a purchase price of almost half price.

What is helpless is that Song Renzong didn't know it. This is because Song Renzong, who has just become pro-government, is not very clear about the true price of grain prices that fluctuate greatly.

I only heard Song Renzong say with an ignorant face: "Ah! I can't imagine that you have so much food, can you say yes? ”

Zhao Yu could say anything, but he decided that he couldn't make the three divisions Li Shi happy if he said anything. Zhao Yu pretended to suddenly realize: "Brother Huang, when you say this, Ah Yu remembers!" But how can you buy it, brother? We're brothers! This grain, the younger brother donated to the Great Song Dynasty! Free! ”

Don't look at Zhao Yu's generosity, but there is blood in his heart. Your sister's! Forty thousand stone of grain! Take a whole number, calculated according to one stone and 600 yuan, this is equivalent to 24,000 yuan!

When Zhang Shixun and the others heard this, the smile on their faces involuntarily stiffened slightly, although they quickly returned to normal, they still showed Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu's mood immediately improved, and he secretly said in his heart: You say I'm a fool? If I don't agree, not only will I hurt Song Renzong, but you will also spread this matter and make the reputation of this king among the people. If you argue about the price and quantity of food, I am afraid that it will be even more satisfying for you!

The price of food can be said to be greedy, cunning, and indefatigable. Argument against food, even better! It's hard to explain this thing clearly, even if I brought Song Renzong to the granary, Zhang Shixun and they can also say, I secretly moved the granary. Even if the truth can really be revealed, how much time will it take?

I'm afraid that during this difficult time, Zhang Shixun and these guys have already mastered all eighteen martial arts and knocked themselves into the abyss. When it was really a shot, Zhao Yu hated Lu Yijian even more, if it weren't for him, the eighth prince Zhao Yuanyan would probably have been an official in the imperial court. With such an extra clan official, he can share at least half of his firepower for himself, so he can be as passive as he is now!

At this time, the third secretary who was tired of Zhao Yu was discouraged, and said again: "The prince is so generous, he really sets an example for us!" I decided to donate 200 stone of food when I went back! For the victims outside Bianliang City! ”

Zhao Yu's heart is crooked, Nima's! Lao Tzu donated 40,000 stones, and you only donated 200 stones, not even a percentage point of Lao Tzu! And I don't know if any of the food you donated is mixed with sand!

The third envoy Li Shi didn't wait for Zhao Yu's heart to finish complaining, he had already continued: "That's right, Lord Wang!" Now tens of thousands of displaced people have gathered outside Bianliang City, and the safety of Bianliang City is related to the stability of the world and the safety of His Majesty. I really can't muster troops! I want to come to the prince, who has a deep brotherhood, and I don't want the official family to be in danger, right? ”

Zhao Yu laughed angrily and said, "Then Li Xianggong means that this king, with the people, sent these grains to Jingdong East Road?" ”

The third envoy Li Shi said solemnly: "How can this be? If so, wouldn't it be a waste of giving food to bandits and bandits along the way? ”

Zhao Yu looked at it, and sat on it, Song Renzong, who was a little at a loss, pressed the anger in his heart, and looked at what the bastard Li Shi, the third envoy, said. PS: The collection plummeted and was hit hard. There's really no motivation, only one shift today, and I'll make up for it tomorrow.
