Chapter 263: Celebrities (I)

"Get out." Zhu Eighty-one raised his kick and sent Hu Dahai's back half a zhang away, it was too embarrassing, it was too embarrassing, he finally quoted the words of the ancients, and was also laughed at by the ancients

With a little shame, he continued to stride towards his mansion, and was about to go home to ask his wife Shuang'er for advice, did Wang Jinggong say anything similar to Han Feizi, and when he saw Hu Dahai in the future, he would find today's field, who expected that he had only walked less than a hundred steps, and Yangzhou Governor Roben had already arched his hands to greet him.

"You're here to persuade me not to keep drilling in the workshop." Zhu Bayi was ashamed and asked first, "If you dare to say something similar, this manager will hand over all the more than 600,000 mouths in Yangzhou City to you, as long as you can conjure up food, this manager will definitely accept it with an open mind." ”

"My lord, my lord misunderstood, I never meant it." Luo Ben, the prefect of Yangzhou who had been with Zhu Bayyi for a period of time to join the army, was startled, and quickly denied it loudly, "I came here this time for food." ”

"Grain, the grain in Yangzhou's official warehouse has bottomed out again, is there someone hoarding Juqi, damn it, these bold guys, I should have listened to Zhu Chongba's words at the beginning." Zhu Eighty-one felt his head buzz and held his head in his hands.

Recently, he has opened up to sell artillery and weapons and armor, and from Monk Peng alone, he has exchanged more than 300,000 stones of rice, but in addition to feeding more than 600,000 people plus 100,000 troops, he also has to fully support Zhang Shicheng and Wang Kerou, and the food crisis cannot be shaken off at all, and almost every ten days and half a month, he has to have a headache for this matter.

As soon as the shop of the Huaiyang firm accepted the commission of the Fu government to sell a batch of grain at a reasonable price, a local ruffian and hooligan hired people to line up, snapped up the share, and then moved to a place and sold it to the people who rushed to the news but did not buy the grain.

Robben was ordered to arrest a large number of the financiers behind the scenes, and cut off more than a dozen heads, but as soon as he changed hands, it was more than three times the profit, which was enough to make many people forget the danger of severed heads, and even some ordinary people, obviously had surplus food at home, and as long as they had spare money in hand, they also had to buy a few bags in case of another Yangzhou fire.

However, in this era, there is no photographic technology, and there is a lack of talents who are proficient in mathematical statistics, so the re-registration of more than 600,000 people in Yangzhou City is by no means something that can be completed in a day or two, so in a short period of time, the Huaiyang Metropolitan Governor's Mansion can only have a headache and a pain in the feet, and deal with it day by day, until the supply and demand of food and the mentality of the people are restored.

But this time, Zhu Eighty-one was obviously worried in vain, Yangzhou Governor Luo Benxun took half a step back, and responded with a smile, "Lord Qiqi, there are still ten days of grain in the treasury, and it should not be too much of a problem to insist until the next wave of grain ships arrives, in addition, now that Yangzhou Road has spring, the fish, shrimp, eels, and crabs in the water and the basket of artemisia sprouts in the field can be used to satisfy the stomach, and the people who need to receive porridge every day are less than thirty percent of the original, even if the grain ships in the south come a few days late, they will not starve to death." ”

"Whew, good, good, good." When Zhu Bayi heard this, the heart hanging in his throat finally fell, rubbed his hands, and gasped.

He is a grassroots himself, and under the influence of Zhu Dapeng, the soul of later generations, he really can't accept that in his own ruling area, there are still tragic lives where people will starve to death, which will make him doubt whether what he is doing is meaningful, since his group of people has grasped the power, and what they bring is still a disaster, what is the difference between himself and the Meng Yuan magnates.

And Robben's next words made him feel more relaxed, "I came to see the lord this time, because I was entrusted by the family teacher, one of his old friends is good at Tao Zhu's skills, and the business is very good, I heard that we are short of food in Huaiyang, so I want to donate 100,000 stone old rice to the lord, just ask the lord to give him a cup of tea to quench his thirst in person." ”

"One hundred thousand stones, isn't that another more than 10 million catties, and it is almost enough for the treasury to support a month, where is he, you can arrange for me to see him at any time."

"Lord, this person, this person is a businessman, and he claims to be Lu Wenxin at that time." Unexpectedly, Zhu Eighty-one agreed so happily, Robben was stunned and reminded cautiously.

"Lu Wenxin." Zhu Bayi was also stunned, and it took a little effort to correspond the two words Wenxin and Lu Buwei from memory.

Talking to the literati is tired, if there is no memory from another time and space, the two sides really can't communicate, but for the sake of 100,000 stone old rice, Zhu Eighty-one didn't plan to be more serious with Luo Ben, shook his head, and said with a smile, "It's okay, there is no free grain in the world, since he is a wealthy businessman, he should change something with me, you can arrange it, I can see him at any time." ”

"Thank you, lord, for making it happen." Robben was overjoyed, leaned down, and respectfully saluted Zhu Eighty-one.

In the past few days, he has a headache for this matter, and he has the heart to refuse, the teacher's face can't help but give, and the 100,000 stone grain is really painful, so he agrees directly, and he can't feel the temper of his own chief manager, after all, in this era, there is still a clear difference between officials and businessmen, although Zhu Daguan has run a Huaiyang business by himself and has become the largest shareholder in it, but if any businessman wants to sit down with him and talk about it, I am afraid that as soon as he speaks, he will be beaten out by Old Master Lu and Chen Ji and others. In front of the chief manager, even the scholars have to stand and talk, where there may be tea from one of your vendors.

"Nothing can be done, thank you, I should thank you, you have made a great achievement, he can take 100,000 stone rice to open the road when the army is in chaos, this person is afraid that the food in his hand will not be too small, he can really buy it all, and the food shortage on Yangzhou Road this year will be completely over." Zhu Eighty-one didn't have the slightest official frame at all, reached out to grab Robben, and praised him with a smile.

"This?" Robben didn't think about it as long as his own father-in-law, and raised his head with a confused face.

"That's it, I'll go to the Grand Governor's Mansion to wait for him, and after you go back, arrange for him to come to the Grand Governor's Mansion for tea at any time." Zhu Eighty nodded, and continued to smile and ordered, "And your teacher, if you are also in Yangzhou, you can invite you to come over as a guest, and you can introduce a big grain merchant to you at this juncture, he must not be an idle person." ”

"Thank you, lord, I'm going to pass them on." Robben was overjoyed, bowed down again, his teacher was unwilling to participate in the imperial examination of the Great Yuan Dynasty, so he had an empty stomach of skills, but half a life was down, after entering the shogunate of the Huai'an governor, Robben had long wanted to recommend his teacher to Mr. Zhu, but a newcomer was afraid of causing any misunderstanding, and second, the teacher was idle and liked to travel around, so he dragged on for more than half a year, and finally found such an opportunity.

"Invite them over, don't go to the main hall, take them directly to the side courtyard from the side door, since it is your teacher, even if it is not an outsider, I am in the flower hall of the side courtyard, invite them to taste tea." Zhu Eighty-one pulled Robben up vigorously and added with a smile.

For the scholar in front of him, he has always admired it very much, is knowledgeable, has an upright temperament, and does not have the sour and rotten spirit of many scholars, and knows how to be flexible, the only regret is that there are too few such scholars at the moment, even if there is another imperial examination, he may not be able to pick a few.

And if the student is like this, the teacher who teaches him skills must not be too bad, and if he can pull the person to his side, maybe he will be a powerful helper.

Unlike the officials and leaders of the rebel army in this era, under the influence of another soul, Zhu Eighty-one sees everyone as equal, this equality is not deliberately pretended, but recognized from the heart, so whether it is a businessman or a down-and-out scholar who does not do his job, as long as they come with good intentions, Zhu does not care about returning the greatest kindness, even if they are here to do business, as long as the transaction is beneficial to each other, Zhu will not refuse because of the different identities and statuses of the two parties.

Because in his mind, people and people are separated from each other only because of the innate conditions given by their parents at birth, as well as their own temperament and intelligence, and gradually drift apart in the process of growing up later, but in the soul, there is no natural justice of high or low, whether it is a king or a grass people, no one is high above and tramples on each other.

In Robben's view, Manager Zhu has such respect for himself and his teacher, he is an out-and-out corporal of Lixian, people treat me as a countryman, I will repay it with a countryman, and the spirit of the scholar has spread for more than a thousand years, not without any influence, just at the moment when Zhu Bayi also bent down, Robben has already made up his mind that he will repay the kindness of his acquaintance in this life, even if he will accompany his own manager to hell in the future, he will look up to the sky and smile, and will never frown.

In line with this idea, he took another half step back, gave Zhu Eighty and his line a subordinate bow again, and then turned around quickly, strode towards the road, and after a while, he took an old Confucian in his fifties and a round fat man and turned back, and stood at the side door of the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion that had just been set up for a few days, and bowed his hand to Li Jin, the personal soldier on duty, "Join the army Robben, take Shi Yanduan, the teacher of the industry, and Shen Fu, the righteous people, ask to see the chief manager, and ask Captain Li to act as a general gift." ”。

"There is no need to pass the ceremony, the governor said that the prefect can directly bring the guests in, he originally wanted to come out to greet you, but as soon as he entered the door, he was blocked by Master Jiao, and now he is in the side yard, testing the new firearms with Master Jiao, and he has already ordered him to come down, so that as soon as he sees the prefect, he will be released immediately."
