Under Liu Xin's instructions, Su Jia asked Zhang Ren to borrow a rare horse in Yizhou, and by the way, he took a waist card of Huangfu, and then left Chengdu City, returned to the warehouse in Chengdu, and prepared all the items that Liu Xin needed next. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

By the way, Liu Xin also asked Su Jia to pay attention to the traces of Sandaozhai on the way back, after all, it will not be long before Liu Xin and others will lead the army to attack Sandaozhai and deal with the hidden danger of Sandaozhai.

Liu Xin stayed in his room for a while, and then began to study the architectural style and furniture of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Xin, who was bored, was paralyzed on the bed, his eyes were blank, and his heart did not fluctuate.

For a person who is accustomed to modern life and will die without WiFi, it may take a long time for Liu Xin to adapt to the rhythm of life in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Xin stood up and decided to go out to find something to do, and if he was paralyzed like this, he would become a waste meow.

Liu Xin found Huang Quan's room by asking the subordinates in the Huang Mansion, at this time Huang Quan was holding a copy of "Analects", reading it with relish, and Zhang Ren next to him was holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn", but looking at Zhang Ren's hard expression, it seemed that he was not in the mood to read.

Zhang Ren, who was absent-minded, found Liu Xin as soon as possible, so his eyes lit up, and he immediately put down the "Spring and Autumn" in his hand and got up to greet Liu Xin.

Huang Quan was shocked by Zhang Ren's actions, and just wanted to blame Zhang Ren for not studying seriously, but he also found out about Liu Xin's arrival, so he closed the "Analects", got up and saluted Liu Xin, and said: "I've seen the lord, I don't know what the lord is coming here for?" ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that we will be brothers in private, did you forget it so quickly, I didn't have nothing to do in the room, so I came over and asked Brother Huang a few things about you." ”

Huang Quan touched his head and said with a smile: "It's my little brother I have a bad memory, I forgot Brother Liu's teachings, I don't know if Brother Liu has anything you want to ask, little brother, I must know everything, and I will say everything." ”

Liu Xin smiled and said his question: "Speaking of who's the biggest grain merchant in Chengdu, I think we need to contact him first, so that he can temporarily suppress other grain merchants and maintain the stability of grain prices, as long as the price of grain does not rise too much, then the prices of other commodities will not rise sharply." ”

Before Huang Quan could speak, Zhang Ren on the side suddenly said: "I know this, the biggest grain merchant in Chengdu is Lei Tian, he is a native of Chengdu, and he is not only the largest grain merchant in Chengdu, but also the largest wealthy merchant in Chengdu, in charge of about thirty percent of the shops in Chengdu, about fifty percent of the food supply, and I learned from the people in the house today that Lei Tian's daughter-in-law was robbed by the bandits of Sandao Village a few days ago, and her life and death are uncertain, and the Lei family is also very anxious now, but because Yan Wenjun, the county governor of Chengdu, was injured, the Chengdu official army could not be dispatched, so I heard that the Lei family was recruiting private soldiers and was ready to act alone to find out the location of Sandao Village and rescue his daughter-in-law. ”

Zhang Ren's words made Liu Xin's eyes light up, and he was still thinking about how to establish contact with Lei Tian and persuade Lei Tian to help him stabilize food prices, and now it seems that there is a way in front of him.

Every perfect plan is based on perfect intelligence, so Liu Xin continued to ask: "Zhang Ren, do you know the details of this matter, does the daughter-in-law of the Lei family have a good background, and the Lei family is so eager to rescue her?" ”

Zhang Ren nodded and said: "As far as I know, the daughter-in-law of the Lei family is named Yu Xian, and she is the child daughter-in-law of Lei Qiu, the son of Lei Tian, and this Lei Qiu is the only son of Lei Tian, so he is naturally favored by Lei Tian in every way, but this Lei Qiu has some problems in his brain, most of the time he is a little stupid and stupid, but sometimes he is very shrewd, somehow Lei Qiu thinks that Yu Xin is his wife, and now the twenty-year-old Lei Qiu does not take any more concubines. Raichu was wounded and Yu Sine was taken away, and when he returned to Chengdu City, Lei Chu asked his father Lei Tian to rescue Yu Sine. ”

After listening to this, Liu Xin also had some calculations in his heart, this Lei Qiu is the stupid son of the landlord's family, and he is also an only child, and he can be said to be deeply affectionate to his child daughter-in-law, and he can just take advantage of this, no, it should be said that the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, as long as he can help Lei Qiu save his wife, then Lei Qiu will definitely know the favor and persuade his father to control the price of grain, in this way, it can be regarded as a multi-pronged combination with other plans, and the conspiracy of Yin Jian and Uncle Huang Quan can be solved more quickly and completely.

As Huang Mei said, now that the situation is urgent, without further ado, Liu Xin decided to go to Lei's house now and reach a preliminary agreement with Lei Tian, of course, Liu Xin also has other plans, this Lei Tian is the first rich businessman in Chengdu, presumably his social circle is not small, so if Lei Tian can help Huang Mei to publicize, it is also excellent.

Liu Xin said his thoughts, Huang Quan immediately nodded in agreement, and said: "I have been to Lei Mansion as a guest, and I also know Lei Tian, although this person has no knowledge, but he is shrewd, it is very difficult for others to take advantage of him, but Lei Tian's biggest weakness is Lei Qiu, after all, Lei Qiu is his only son, so Lei Tian is responsive to Lei Qiu, even if he knows that it is a sinkhole, as long as Lei Qiu speaks, Lei Tian will not hesitate to jump down." ”

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, especially in the ancient environment, how high the status of the only child is, Rao is a shrewd person like Lei Tian, and he will be forced to make some helpless choices because of his son.

However, this is good news for Liu Xin.

After Huang Quan finished speaking, he took Liu Xin to Lei's house, and of course Zhang Ren would also accompany him.

As for Jiang Wei, he has been called by Huang Mei to the county office, and he should be going to take over the city guards.

Originally, Huang Quan wanted to take the flowing horse to Lei's house, so that he could take the first place, but Liu Xin used this matter as an excuse to take it personally, so he took an ordinary carriage to Lei's house.

After a while, Liu Xin and the three of them came to Lei's house.

At this time, there were many young men gathered outside the door of the Lei family, and after Zhang Ren's inquiry, these people were all private soldiers who came to enlist in the Lei family, and each of them could get a thousand yuan after rescuing Yu Sine.

The main currency in the Eastern Han Dynasty was five baht, and ordinary farmers had an annual income of only 800 yuan after removing various expenses, so Lei Tian offered a reward of 1,000 yuan, which naturally attracted many people to join the Lei family's private soldiers.

Speaking of private soldiers, this is also because the situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty is becoming increasingly chaotic, the central government's control over local forces is becoming weaker and weaker, coupled with the frequent rebellions in various places, in order to save national expenditures, the wealthy families around the country are encouraged to establish private soldiers to quell the rebellion, but in order to take into account the face of the Son of Heaven, the number of private soldiers that can be owned by different levels of wealthy families is limited, and rich businessmen like the Lei family nominally have no more than 100 private soldiers at most, and they are still in the name of guards, and now the Lei family openly recruits a large number of private soldiers, It stands to reason that Huang Mei can directly clean up the Lei family for treason, but the Lei family recruited private soldiers just to save people, of course Huang Mei turned a blind eye, and there was no need to be too particular.

By the way, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the main forces of the major princes belonged to the category of private soldiers.

It just so happened that Lei Tian and Lei Qiu were busy recruiting private soldiers outside the Lei family, and as soon as Liu Xin's carriage arrived, it attracted Lei Tian's attention.

Lei Tian quickly recognized that the carriage was from the Huang Mansion, and when he saw Zhang Ren driving, Lei Tian knew that the carriage was the younger brother of the county commander Huang Mei, so he gave two orders, took Lei Qiu forward, and led Liu Xin and the three into the living room.

Lei Tian is a fat man in his forties, with a kind face, but the occasional flash of light in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate him.

And Lei Qiu is a handsome young man, the only deficiency is that his eyes are blank, in Liu Xin's opinion, this Lei Qiu is likely to be due to the lack of clear qi, clear body caused by intermittent dementia.

Everyone sat down, and Lei Tian asked with a smile: "I don't know what Huang Gongzi has to do when he comes to me today?" ”

Huang Quan's allegiance to Liu Xin is not yet the time to make it public, so Huang Quan replied: "I just arrived in Chengdu today, and I heard that Brother Lei's wife was kidnapped by the bandits of Sandaozhai, and it happened that today before I entered Chengdu City, I defeated a bandit of Sandaozhai, and I have sent someone to follow the fleeing bandits, and I will know the location of Sandaozhai in a few days." ”

When Lei Tian heard this, his eyes lit up, but as a businessman, Lei Tian knew that Huang Quan would not provide him with information about Sandaozhai for no reason, so Lei Tian was thinking about how to answer in his heart.

However, Lei Qiu beside Lei Tian didn't think so much, and when he heard that Huang Quan might know the location of the Three Dao Village, Lei Qiu immediately got up and said, "Where is the Three Dao Village?" As long as you can provide information, our Lei family can pay any price! ”

Lei Tian looked at his son helplessly, knowing that he had to get some blood this time, and he knew that he wouldn't bring his son to talk with him.

Lei Tian pulled his son back to his seat, reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and said a little helplessly: "Huang Gongzi, as soon as you have the news of the Three Dao Village, please tell me as soon as possible, and I will definitely give you a hundred taels of gold." ”

Huang Quan smiled, knowing that this time it was basically stable, so he said in a relaxed mood: "Everyone is their own person, why bother talking about those blockages, as long as there is news of Sandaozhai, I will definitely be the first to tell Brother Lei." ”

Lei Tian knew that he owed Huang Quan a favor, and he knew that the most difficult thing to repay was a favor, and at the level of Huang Quan and Lei Tian, a favor was more precious than a daughter.

However, Lei Tian still had to pretend to be happy, and said to Huang Quan with a smile: "That's that, we are our own people, what does Huang Gongzi need to serve, just say it." ”

Huang Quan smiled again and said the true purpose of this trip, "Now that Sandaozhai is a disaster for Chengdu, as long as you find out where Sandaozhai is, my eldest brother will send the city guards to exterminate Sandaozhai, but I heard my eldest brother say today that there is a shortage of materials in the city, and I remember that Uncle Lei is in control of half of the food supply in Chengdu City, so I hope Uncle Lei can help stabilize food prices." ”

Lei Tian was shocked, it seems that he and other grain merchants want to raise the price of food has been exposed, Huang Quan is warning himself on behalf of Huang Mei, but this Huang Mei is also sensible, knowing that blind suppression will only be self-defeating, so Huang Mei sent the city guards to help him rescue his daughter-in-law Yu Sine, Lei Tian is also a little more comfortable, after all, no matter how Lei Tian recruits private soldiers, he can only equip a force of about two hundred people, and now there are five hundred city guards to help.

Of course, the above are all Lei Tian's brain supplements, and Huang Mei said that he had no idea.

Lei Tian knew that he had to agree to this, so he didn't bother with it, and said boldly: "Of course, everyone is responsible for maintaining public order in Chengdu, so I will arrange it and let my subordinates prepare a batch of old grain to sell at a reduced price to maintain the grain price in Chengdu today." ”
