Gong Huaien looked domineering, and opened his mouth aggressively, Yang Chengzu felt unhappy. But he just picked a maid from the palace, and he was angry, and now he is in a good mood, so he doesn't care about him. With a smile:

"Gonggong, your old man has misunderstood. Whose grain is in that warehouse, the lower officials don't know, and I don't want to know. I have no intention of embarrassing anyone, and when I go to the warehouse, I just copy Jin Jiuling's reverse production, and as for the grain of the other people inside, I won't move a grain of rice. I've promised Chitose that, and I'll promise you here, if anyone touches your and your friends' food, just talk to me. ”

"Can you bear it when I talk to you? Don't say it's you, even if it's the old winter baking of Shen Dongkui, the governor of Henan, can you bear it? I advise you, this grain matter is too big, and you can't afford to mix it with a small hundred households. The price of food naturally follows the market, and cannot be reversed by manpower. If you want to bring down the price of food by saving more food, I will only send you four words, foolish dreams! ”

Yang Chengzu secretly thought: This eunuch's brain is very useful, and he actually guessed that my idea was to smash the price. But it's one thing you can see, it's another thing whether you can crack it, this time, he is not alone on his side, Henan Governor Shen Dongkui, Henan Buzheng and Zhang Jiayin are all his allies.

It must be said that in this era, although the Zhengde Dynasty is not the Zhengying Dynasty, there are still a group of officials who are willing to do the right thing. If, from top to bottom, he wants to make a fortune by relying on grain, steal people's land, and artificially create a famine, then he has no choice but to get some food to ensure that he does not starve to death.

Now seeing Gong Huaien turn his face, Yang Chengzu's face also sank, "Gonggong Gong, do you mean that even if it is Jin Changling's grain, you are not ready to let me take it away?" ”

"What kind of Jin Changling's grain, we asked him to buy grain, and he just transported it on his behalf. All that grain is ours, what does it have to do with him? You quickly withdraw your people, don't mess around with Shen Dongkui, I just don't care about you for the sake of Chitose. Otherwise, you need to be careful about your future. ”

Zhu Mumu Xuan said at this time: "Huaien, you don't have to say a word, taste what this bear's paw tastes like." ”

"Thank you Chitose for the reward, slave and maid Minggan Wunei, this bear's paw was cooked by the chef in your house, and the taste is naturally very good. It's just that such a good dish should be used to entertain VIPs, and entertaining such a subordinate as a military minister and slave has ruined this good thing. ”

"Can't you say that, Huai'en, you are a smart person, you have seen many things more thoroughly than this king, and there are some words, this king doesn't need to say too clearly, you should understand. The king doesn't ask about those grain things, and he doesn't want to mix them, but the king himself doesn't want to engage in this kind of business and hurt yin morality. The lord of the two mansions of the king of Tang and the king of Yi, I have also been the lord. The grain of our three mansions was decided to be handed over to the Governor's Metropolitan Procuratorate, and let Jinyi Wei pull it away Don't stop it, this is the meaning of this king, and I don't ask about the rest of the grain. ”

It is important to know that this kind of food price gouging must be an alliance to be effective, and once one person withdraws from the middle, it may affect the layout of the entire alliance. In particular, the alliance of the three princes of Zhou, Tang and Yi is an important part of this grain price alliance.

They are the head snakes of the land, they have financial resources and influence, and they also have the relationship of the blood of the heavenly family, even if the magistrate wants to forcibly open a position, he must consider this factor, and he must have some scruples.

Once they withdraw from this operation, it will be tantamount to tearing down the pillar of this price alliance, making Gong Huaien's position a little scattered. After all, he was a foreign town guard, and the purpose of coming here was to make a fortune, and most of the silver he got was sent back to the capital by him, and the silver in his hand was not enough.

If he wants to raise the price of grain, the demand for this fund is very large, and he will definitely not be able to complete it by himself, which requires the participation of the royal government's capital. If the palace withdraws, there will be problems in his capital chain.

Gong Huaien hurriedly said: "Chitose, look at how you said this, you didn't know about this business originally, and it was done by a few stewards in your house with the slaves and maids." They also have good intentions, for the sake of increasing some income in your house, so as not to impoverishe the blood of the heavenly family, right? ”

"I know what they mean, but there is no shortage of this little money in the king's house. Yang Baihu don't be stunned, move your chopsticks. This king likes you to be a tiger general, you are straightforward, this is the most to my appetite, don't be restrained, just eat you. ”

Seeing King Zhou's attitude, the fool also knew which side he was leaning towards, Gong Huaien coughed dryly twice, and squeezed out a smile on his face, "Yang Baihu, what I said just now may be a little heavier, don't take it to heart." This person in our family is straightforward and fast-talking, and he doesn't speak much, so don't be like me. In fact, what I said is also for your own good, this grain business is not as simple as you think. It's better for us to stock up on more grain than if we have no grain to sell in Henan. ”

"As for starving to death some poor ghosts, those poor ghosts can't die, and if they die this year, they will make up for them from elsewhere next year. Besides, there are porridge sheds, there are people with teeth, and many people can't die of hunger. There are a lot of people involved in this business, and if you rush into it, beware of hurting yourself. In this way, I also know that it is not easy for you Jinyiwei, the life is hard, let you enter the last share, and everyone will distribute this wealth together, what do you think? ”

His attitude can be regarded as looking at King Zhou's face, allowing Yang Chengzu to take a piece of the pie and not to harm his own business. Yang Chengzu smiled: "Thank you father-in-law for your kindness, I toast you." ”

Gong Huaien dried the wine and said with a smile: "Those who know the times are Junjie, if you can recognize the form, you will not worry about whether you will be able to soar in the future." Our family will say a word for you, and your official functions will rise. ”

"Thank you father-in-law, but Xia Guan didn't dare to have so many thoughts, and only thought about one thing, that is, Jin Changling's food. I have an account of how much grain he has in that granary, and I can know it when I check it, and I promise not to mention it one or two more. Chitose is willing to donate food, this is Chitose's benevolence, I want to toast Chitose for the people of Henan Bafu, Chitose, the lower officials have transgressed. ”

Zhu Mumu Xuan laughed and said: "Yang Baihu, you are too polite, this king sees your temper, and you toast the wine, I did it." I don't care what others think of you, the old man supports your claim, and I will help you with these food matters. If anyone in those two palaces has any dissatisfaction, just let them talk to me. ”

He stood behind Yang Chengzu so clearly, and Gong Huaien was a little passive. As mentioned earlier, he can shake his majesty in front of the governor and the three divisions, but in front of the old prince, he can only clamp his tail and be a man, otherwise the eunuch will bully the clan, which is the way to death.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Chitose, you are a benevolent person, and the slave and maid also admire it very much." It's just about the grain...... Do you think this will work, you and the other two thousand-tose grains, the slaves and maids paid for it? ”

"Gong Huaien, didn't you hear what this king said clearly? As I said, my grain will be handed over to the Governor's Metropolitan Procuratorate for disposal, so will I dispose of my grain with the consent of your town guard and the central official's yamen? ”
