Forty-five wen one bucket, one stone and ten buckets, and buying six thousand stones at once means a full two million and seven hundred thousand yuan.

Liang Xiaoshan used the high interest rate of fifty percent a month to scrape together enough cash from other grain merchants and all his acquaintances. In order to transport this batch of grain, he had to hire a helper to transport this bag of old grain to his temporarily rented warehouse with a high salary, and assigned a large number of safe people to take care of it.

He didn't believe that Du Shiyi could continue to hold on

However, when he came out of the storehouse and prepared to return to his own rice shop with his retinue, he heard cheers from all over the city after leaving the village and going out into the street. His heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly sent an entourage to investigate, and in a short time, he saw the retinue galloping back with a miserable face. Although he knew that it must be bad news, he still forced himself to calmly ask: "Don't be such a dead face, what the hell is going on?" Could it be that the government is doing something mysterious? ”

"The owner, it's grain, and another grain truck has arrived outside the city."

Hearing this news, Liang Xiaoshan only felt that his whole head was about to explode. He shouted almost violently: "Where did the grain cart come from, Shuozhou has run out of grain, how can there be surplus grain to be transported over?" ”

"It's not Shuozhou......" The entourage cried with a sad face, and even his voice was a little trembling, "It was transferred from Weizhou to Youzhou, I heard that it was the grain from Jiangnan and Huainan Weizhou Yuwen made Jun resolute, and now the Yongji Canal is unimpeded again, and a large amount of grain from Jiangnan and Huainan can go north, and the grain price in Hedong, Hebei has fallen, saying that the grain price in Bingzhou is now less than 12 Wen in Hebei is slightly more expensive due to the disaster, but it is only 18 Wen per bucket, this is still the price of new grain, it is said that Chen rice can not be sold even if it is 7 or 8 Wen per bucket......

Before he finished speaking, Liang Xiaoshan on horseback only felt that the whole person was shaky, his throat was fishy, and then his head was dizzy, and he actually fell off the horse, and the entourage immediately panicked, some dismounted and went to the rescue, some hurriedly turned the horse to find the doctor, and some glared angrily at the entourage who had just gone to investigate

"You won't be softer with this kind of bad news? The owner is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot these days, what if there are three long and two short? ”

Seeing that his companions were complaining about themselves, the entourage was angry: "You think I want to find out this kind of bad news? It is said that Mrs. Du Changshi personally led people to Youzhou to transfer this batch of grain, because the price is fair, the price of doumi is enough for eighteen Wen, and the batch is large, and Zhao Changshi, who was originally worried about the cheap and injured peasants in Youzhou, also personally sent his own personal escort to escort the transport, zuihou sent it from Ulzhou to our Yunzhou I heard that now Du Changshi personally went to welcome his wife into the city."

Although Liang Xiaoshan was so angry that he fell off his horse, some people just now couldn't help but question the accuracy of this news, but when they heard this addition, everyone was like a mourner. The master of his own house ate the old grain to be replaced by the princess's mansion at a high price of 45 wen per bucket, and now there is no shortage of food in Yunzhou City, but there is a large amount of cheap grain, plus the master of his own house has also borrowed a large amount of usury, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury

The east gate of Yunzhou was surrounded by people at this time. However, the scene of Du Shiyi going to greet his wife did not appear, and all they saw was one grain truck after another. Deep ruts, sacks of grain, and beaming faces, all of which lifted the hearts of the people of the city. As Wang Han, who came to hand over the grain truck in person, tore his throat and shouted, when he reported the grain prices in Hebei Province and Hedong Province today, the surrounding area was cheering one after another.

Taking advantage of the excitement of the people, Wang Han raised his hand to signal silence, and waited until the surroundings were quiet for a while, and then he said aloud: "Du Changshi felt that the profiteers hoarded the strange things a few days ago, so that the price of grain was high, and the ordinary people suffered from it, so he decided that when the government sent workers in the future, such as building the city wall, repairing the government and houses, roads and bridges, and recruiting tuntian outside the people's land for daily remuneration, he could choose to find money or food stamps according to his own needs. Holders of food stamps, no matter how expensive the current price is, can ration the food stamps and go to designated grain stores or rice shops to exchange for food. ”

Hearing this, the people who had just moved to Yunzhou and got the sweetness of grain stamps, and then when the price of rice was soaring, the people who had suffered enough from the black-hearted grain merchants cheered again. And when Wang Han couldn't help but gossip and interrogate, he directly pulled Chen Baoer out to answer questions and solve doubts, Princess Gu'an and Wang Rong, who were dressed in low-key men's clothes, had already quietly walked out of the crowd with a few entourages. When they finally arrived at the gate of the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion, which had begun to take shape, they saw Du Shiyi waiting there with a smile on his face.

"The two heroes are finally back"

Princess Gu'an smiled but didn't answer, and waited until she pulled Wang Rong into the Governor's Mansion with Du Shiyi, and there were no idle people waiting for her side when she entered the Yimen, she smiled heartily: "It's not me, I can't make a noise when I go out." Besides, if it weren't for the young lady's money and people, this trip would not have been smooth, especially since my identity is a taboo to walk around outside at will, and I don't know how much worry she has to worry about."

"Don't listen to my sister's modesty, Hebei has suffered disasters for many years, the local government disaster relief is weak, the road is not very smooth, and there are even bandits, if there is no sister to deal with Yuru, I don't know how much trouble I will encounter" Wang Rong saw Du Shiyi in front of Princess Gu'an, so she took her hand, she didn't feel the pain of running around these days. Smiling at her husband, she said with relief, "Fortunately, Yuwen made Jun talk better than expected, I thought he hadn't given a congratulatory gift at the beginning, and he had a bad relationship with you, what if he refused to be accommodating......

"Young lady, you directly lent him 10 million money when the Yuwen envoy was embarrassed, so that he could get through the crisis of the initial Qiao woman's difficulty in cooking without rice, and he was able to raise the grain price on a larger scale than ours in Weizhou and other places, and then suppress the grain price, and then make a lot of money, where would he refuse to help such a favor?"

Princess Gu'an interjected a sentence from the side, and said to Du Shiyi with a smile: "Of course, he not only knows about Ah Di's recommendation of him, but also admits it. Otherwise, this first batch of grain transported from the south may not be able to reach Yunzhou first. The price of grain in Hedong and Hebei fell in response, also because of Yu Wenrong's former henchmen who spared no effort to publicize it. ”

"All in all, this time my sister and my good wife are great heroes, please accept my worship"

Du Shiyi took a serious step back and took a deep look, but before his waist was bent down, he only felt that his arm was being supported. As soon as he looked up, he saw Princess Gu'an retract her hand like lightning, and Wang Rong held his right arm and glared at him with some anger: "Your sister Xie is just it, let people see that the dignified Du Changshi actually bent his waist to his wife, what will it be?"

"If you want to thank you naturally, how can you favor one over the other?"

Having said that, but when the mind arrived, Du Shiyi naturally would not continue to insist on this form, but he had to set up a banquet for the two of them. It's just that both Princess Gu'an and Wang Rong rushed back and forth this time, and they didn't have much time to take care of their appearance, so they went back to the room to bathe and change clothes as soon as possible. Du Shiyi, who had the intention of spying on the beauty of the bath, soon lost this leisure, because Chibi hurriedly came to report another good news.

"Lord Lang, General Luo is back"

Yunzhou is not a real garrison place, but before the trip, Li Longji ordered him to recruit displaced people to flee and recruit troops to defend them, and now most of the soldiers and horses in Yunzhou are managed by Wang Zhonghe, the false son of the Son of Heaven, and the messy titles such as generals and captains that are not ordered by the imperial court are naturally flying all over the sky. As a former general of Linzhou, Luo Ying, even if he could not be tied with Wang Zhonghei, also led a partial division. It's just that because Du Shiyi intentionally or unintentionally, almost all of the human hands that leaked out of Princess Gu'an's fingers with their own skills were under him.

Therefore, when Luo Ying strode into the study and gave a military salute, he smiled honestly and said, "Du Changshi, fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”

"Yu Dehao" Du Shiyi didn't ask about the specific situation, he knew very well that the little monk said that he was fortunate not to be dishonored, that is, the group of people he wanted must be quite well trained He gave Luo Ying a thumbs up, and then suddenly remembered something, because he asked, "By the way, what about Lady Yue?" ”

"She ......" Luo Ying smiled a little weakly, and then said in a low voice, "She went to visit General Pei in the Beiping Army in Dingzhou." General Pei Ding is full of service, and now he has returned to serve in the Beiping Army. She originally invited me to go with her, but seeing that I was busy training the army, and thinking that it was Zhang Shangshu, the Marquis of Hedong, who was now the official residence in Dingzhou, so I forgot it for the time being. ”

Du Shiyi's former enemy Zhang Jiazhen, now worships the Marquis of Hedong, and the official worships the Dingzhou Assassin History and the Ministry of Industry, such a nondescript official position configuration is obviously Li Longji still has feelings for the former prime minister. Although Du Shiyi had always been at odds with Zhang Jiazhen when he was in Liangjing, but now that time has changed, he and Zhang Shuo can laugh at the enmity, and Zhang Jiazhen, the impatient and rigid old prime minister, dare not guarantee it. Therefore, he didn't want to provoke Zhang Jiazhen, who had no stakes at stake, so he only nodded slightly.

"Since she went to the Beiping Army, I can ⊥ someone to Dingzhou once, and ask her to send me a letter...... Luo Ying, within these two days, the Xi merchant group will inevitably trade. Although they said before that the cattle and sheep were not far from the border of Yunzhou, they still had to guard against the Turks, and of course, the Xi people had to be guarded against. General Wang can't leave Yunzhou for a while, and I will leave the task of escort and handover to you when the time comes. Xi Ren will be escorted by Nan Jiyun to the realm of the Rao Le Du Governor's Mansion, he is not experienced and qualified, you remember to mention him more. ”

"Yes, I understand"

Du Shiyi bowed slightly to the little monk of the year, and was about to give another order, when he heard Chibi's voice outside.

"Lord Lang, several grain merchants are asking to see you in front of the Governor's Mansion."

Du Shiyi sneered, and said crisply: "No."
