Chapter Ninety-Seven: Liu Yong
"Since the officials have already believed it, the officials have no choice but to do it, after all, the drought is more harmful than the tiger!" As the leader of the government, Cheng Jue has a clear understanding of the harm of drought, especially the high population density of the prefecture near Kaifeng Henan, in case of a drought, businessmen will inevitably raise the price of grain, the drought is not terrible, what is terrible is food shortage and hunger!
Yun Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Cheng Jue agreed to help, and Cheng Jue's idea was the same as Zhao Zhen's, he couldn't guarantee that there was or no drought occurred, as long as he cooperated with the official family to make good preparations in advance, even if there was no drought, it was the official family's inner treasury anyway.

It has no impact on Yan Song's finances, and when he thinks of this, he sighs again: The official family is merciful and willing to take risks with his own treasury! But what he didn't know was that the reason why Zhao Zhen was willing to take such a big risk was to get something bigger.
"In that case, can you ask Lord Cheng to use the Cheng family's shop belt to buy grain?" Yun Shu asked when he saw Cheng Jue agree.
Cheng Jue shook his head and smiled: "It's not appropriate at this time, although the Cheng family has a shop, it is not a matter of careless grain business, this official has a proper method, and he often closes the position to change the grain!" I wonder what the two adults think? ”
Yun Shumao suddenly opened, it turned out that Cheng Jue wanted to use the opportunity to exchange the regular position for food, and he unknowingly covered people's eyes! Seeing Yang Wei's wide-eyed appearance, Yun Shu explained to him.
"Lord Cheng is really a pro-people official! The trick of this is that it takes a lot of effort for a rough person to understand! So much better! After Yun Shu's explanation, Yang Wei finally figured out how to operate.
In fact, it is very simple, every year the state capitals have to replace the new grain and sell the old grain. A big mansion like Jingzhao Mansion must have a lot of grain in stock, which can fully meet Yunshu's needs, and old grain is also grain. With the support of the official treasury, it is completely possible to fill the regular position.
When the time comes, as long as the excess grain is pulled away from the regular liquidation, will anyone dare to check whether the grain sold in Jingzhao Mansion is old grain or new grain? Yun Shu only brought a fixed amount of money this time, and if there is Cheng Jue's guarantee, there will be no problem at all, and the grain can be pulled back to Ping'an Village with an empty car.
The trio had a thorough plan to make sure nothing went wrong. After all, this matter is related to the officials who have to be cautious, from the details of the sale to the officials used, all must be arranged quietly, Yang Wei even discussed with Cheng Jue whether to put the officials involved in the grain purchase plan in prison for a period of time?
Yun Shu has a better way, such as locking people in a small courtyard like asking questions in the college entrance examination, and usually serving people with good wine and meat. Wait until the matter is over to turn people out and praise them, so that they can't remember offending people, and they are not afraid of leaking news.
"Brother Yun still has a lot of ideas! It's up to you! Yang Wei said with a wave of his hand.
Cheng Jue smiled awkwardly: "Lord Yang is really humorous~" Judging from Yang Wei's attitude towards Yun Shu, Cheng Jue found that as long as Yun Shu's opinions were put forward, Yang Wei generally only had the share of implementation, and it didn't look like he was sent by the official family to supervise Yun Shu's work.
You must know that Yang Wei is the commander of the front division of the palace, which is equivalent to the guard of the official family, and he can actually talk and laugh at an eight-rank undertaker like Yun Shu, and he can also make jokes from time to time, which is simply unheard of.
The situation of civil and military confrontation in the Yan and Song dynasties has been initially formed, coupled with Taizu's policy of emphasizing literature over military force, the two sides are already on the verge of being like fire and water, and Yun Shu, as a civil official, can actually get Yang Wei's favor, which really surprised Cheng Jue.
Yun Shu also happened to want to visit Yan Song's Chang Ping, so he followed Cheng Jue to check it out. The so-called Changping is a large compound in which the houses are built long, and there are not only grain but also silver coins.
Chang Ping originated from Li Kui's practice in Wei during the Warring States Period, that is, the government purchased grain storage in a good year to avoid cheap grain and hurt the peasants, and sold the stored grain in a bad year to stabilize grain prices.
In the third year of the Chunhua reign of Taizong of the Yan Song Dynasty, Song Shi Chang closed his position in Gyeonggi. Three years after Jingde, except for the border prefectures and counties, the whole country has been generally set up. Every year in the summer and autumn of the valley is cheap, increase the market price by three or five cents, and when the valley is expensive, the price will be reduced and the reduction shall not be less than the capital. In case of disaster, the warehouse will be opened and released for disaster relief, and if it has not been released for more than three years, it will be refilled with grain, and it is easy to use new grain.
Yun Shu and Yang Wei came by coincidence, this year is really good that the three-year period has expired, and it is time to change the position to new grain. The grain output in the Guanzhong area is high, so it is not surprising that the position is often closed for a large amount of grain.
After watching Chang Ping, the stone in Yun Shu's heart fell, Cheng Jue had already set up a family banquet in Cheng's Mansion to invite Yun Shu and Yang Wei to go, Yun Shu couldn't refuse, so he had to go, and Yang Wei originally planned to go to the Qinglou near the previous adult to have a good time, and he had received so many silk flowers from other people before, how could he not return to the original owner?
But looking at Yun Shu's threatening gaze, Yang Wei muttered helplessly: "You yourself are not happy, and you don't want your brother to be happy, don't bring such a trick." ”
Liu Ningjing and Cheng Jue's wife Hou chatted very happily, and when they learned that Yun Shu was going to have a guest banquet at Cheng's house, Hou grabbed Liu Ningjing and said: "I finally met a well-informed sister, let's not eat with their men, let's have a small banquet." After saying that, he asked his subordinates to prepare to go.
As the saying goes, behind every successful man, there must be an extraordinary woman, Hou is like this, by chatting with Liu Ningjing, she found out that Liu Ningjing was not Yun Shu's daughter-in-law, the two were just lovers.
As an elder sister, the Hou family naturally wants to enlighten Liu Ningjing: "Silly sister, we women only have two things that are most precious in our lives, the first is your man, and the second is your child, can you still be considered a woman without these two women?" So don't be too reserved, isn't it appropriate to cook raw rice early? I just saw it, your Langjun is really a good son! You see that Apricot is still blushing after seeing it just now! ”
"Where?! Miss, don't talk nonsense, how can people be worthy of an official like Lord Yun, only this Miss Liu is worthy of it! Xing'er's words were full of vinegar, as if she deliberately said it to Liu Ningjing.
"Sister, you master and servant are teaming up to bully me~" Liu Ningjing rarely showed the demeanor of her little daughter. The Hou family who watched it was stunned and said: "Sister, your current appearance is really captivating!" My sister is jealous of your looks! ”
Under Cheng Jue's warm hospitality, Yun Shu left Cheng Mansion with Liu Ningjing and drove to the post station in the city, Yang Wei rode on a horse and looked at Yun Shu who was driving the car and said: "Look at the beauty that gives you, isn't it just to call you Yun Lang~?" As for turning into a demented look? I'm ashamed to say that you are my brother Yang Wei! ”
Thinking of Liu Ningjing's eyebrows and green mountains, the coquettish appearance of her eyes cutting water and the voice of Yun Lang, Yun Shu smirked and said, "You know a fart~!" Don't tell the toad the story of the sea! ”
"Cut~! You just don't see much of the world! After finishing tomorrow, my brother will take you to see the world? Baozheng lets you know what is gentleness! Yang Wei drove his horse over and whispered.
"If you dare to take Yunlang to that kind of fireworks and willow alley, although I can't clean you up, the two princess sisters won't spare you!" The voice of the iceberg beauty came out, directly interrupting what Yun Shu was about to say.
Yun Shu hurriedly stood firm and said, "That's it, do you think that a person with integrity would go to that kind of place?" I'm pure! ”
Yang Wei looked at Yun Shu with disdain and waved his hands begging for mercy, your uncle, are you so desperate to please the little lady?
Yun Shu's heart still wants to go to the ancient Qinglou for an in-depth discussion and criticism. After all, most of Liu Yong's famous sentences are circulated among Qinglou and famous prostitutes.
Where to wake up tonight, the willow shore is dawning and the moon is waning. Affectionate parting since ancient times, how can it be ignored in the Qingqiu Festival. Thinking of going to a thousand miles of smoke and waves, the twilight is heavy and the sky is wide. Every sentence is a classic that has been widely circulated in later generations!
Yun Shu really wanted to meet this Liu Qi who was ordered to fill in the words. Criticize this graceful representative face to face. Dare to use "talented words, he is a white-clothed minister." This kind of remark is a counterattack on the imperial examination system, and Zhenzong's special evaluation is also another success.
