"You're not honest!"

As soon as Tang Yi walked into the living room, Chen shook off such a sentence, which frightened Tang Yi into and out of the door, extremely embarrassed, and didn't know what to do.

"Uncle, aunt, nephew are here to borrow food......"

"I didn't say borrow food!" Chen Shi glared at him, the cold light shone, gritted his silver teeth and said angrily: "You kid let Zhou Yatou trick Yueying, and before you get married, let you hook up and date, where is the name of the girl's family?" is so frivolous and rude before you get married, what should you do after you get married? ”

I heard that my mother-in-law was difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect it to be so sharp, and I embarrassed myself as soon as I came up, Tang Yi could only accompany the smiling face, give him 10,000 guts, and didn't dare to play a donkey with the Chen family!

"Uncle, they all say that you read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, you can't watch your daughter go out of the door for the rest of your life, right? In fact, it is Jingmei's idea to let my sister go to Suzhou for a visit, and my aunt should not wronged my nephew. ”

Tang Yi was used to sending black pots, so he gave Wang Shimao a bite without hesitation. The Chen family doesn't know what's going on, but it's also Wang Shimao's doing, the elder brother and his sister are playing, it's nothing, and the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty has become more and more open in recent years, such as Zhou Qinyun's appearance and running the family business, although there is really no one available in their family, but the magnanimity of the people can also be seen.

Chen's anger decreased slightly, snorted, and scolded: "You still dare to mention Jingmei? That kid doesn't know how much ecstasy soup you poured into him, he has already rebelled! Tang Yi laughed, he didn't dare to say more, he didn't have to provoke himself, Chen was willing to scold, he could scold Wang Shimao.

Obviously, Chen did not do what Tang Yi wished, but changed his words and sighed.

"Stinky boy, you were beaten up by those three, what do you think?"

Of course, Tang Yi was furious, and he couldn't wait to dismantle it. But after all, the Chen family is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, and they are inseparable, Tang Yi smiled: "There may be some misunderstandings in this, as long as we explain clearly, we are still a family, and we love each other." ”

Chen sneered. stood up and took two steps around Tang Yi, making Tang Yi furious.

"Hmph, you kid is really hypocritical enough, it's really not a good thing!"

Tang Yi is so embarrassed, he said in his heart that in front of others, I am an honest and reliable Xiaolangjun, how did I get to Chen's place, my impression is so bad, is there any hope for marriage. Tang Yi wanted to distinguish a few words, but who knew that Chen actually said to himself.

"Bullying others, greedy for money and profit, looking at the rats, and not knowing what to do, this is the virtue of the Wang family - of course, excluding the old man and the eldest young master." Chen said bitterly: "The Taicang royal family has lasted for thousands of years. It can be regarded as a wealthy family in the southeast. In recent years, the Xu family of Huating. The Pinghu Lu family, the Yan family, and the prosperity have all overwhelmed the Wang family. In particular, the Xu family wantonly annexed land and Huating. Even Songjiang is full of their family's manor land. The Wang family's eyes were red when they saw it, and they drooled, and they couldn't wait to eat a piece of it. In the past few years, the master's official position was not high, and they did not dare to do anything wrong. But now that the old man has become the governor of Jiliao, the official of the territory, and has a heavy army, they can't hold it back, and they are thinking about annexing land everywhere. What is said to prosper the Wang family and shine on the lintel, if you want me to see it, it is to cause trouble to the Wang family and bring disaster to the master! ”

Listening to Chen's words, Tang Yi gave a thumbs up in his heart, his mother-in-law is really extraordinary, ordinary women see that her husband is a high-ranking official, and it is too late to bully others, she can be so calm and see the risks clearly, it is really rare.

Chen sighed and sat down again.

"Where do they understand that Xu Jie, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, is deeply rooted, and some trivial things can't shake his position. But the lord is different, Jizhen and Liaodong have Tartar invasions every year, if you are not careful, you will be questioned by the imperial court, the lord is too busy to take care of himself, and the eldest young master has an empty name and does not understand government affairs. The family doesn't know how to converge, and sooner or later I am targeted by the official, and I play a book hard, I can't stand it when I think about it, and I am often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night. Chen's face was full of sorrow, and he said it very sadly.

Tang Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, my uncle has made outstanding achievements, how can idlers be unfavorable to him?" In case of...... If anyone really dares to fight his uncle's idea, the nephew must risk his life and fight them to the end. ”

Chen raised his head, looked at Tang Yi's solemn face, and smiled brightly.

"Alas, in the past, I always wanted to find an honest person for Yueying, so as not to cause trouble for her father, of course, if something happened to his father, it would not affect the child. Seeing you kid, I changed my mind, if I let Yueying marry a capable husband, maybe I can help my master. ”

Chen's words are full of worry about Wang Chen, this worry is not unfounded, in less than ten years, there are Zeng Mill and Zhu Kun, two outstanding military achievements, honest and honest feudal ministers, died tragically. Chen is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he will not fail to see that her husband has unlimited scenery on the surface, but in fact he is walking on the edge of the cliff, and if he is not careful, he will never recover.

Tang Yi didn't think about it so much, when he saw Chen's relent, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, and he was about to kneel down when he lifted his robe, and quickly put his mother-in-law flat. Chen Shi glared at him and said angrily: "Stinky boy, I said that if I want to find someone with ability, it must be you?" ”

This time Tang Yi was asked, he touched his nose and said with a smile: "Uncle, it seems that there are not many people who are more capable than me." ”

"Thick skin!" Chen scolded with a smile: "Boy, listen up, you are still a white man now, within three years, you will win a meritorious name, and you will be a jinshi in five years, if you can't, don't blame me for being snobbish." ”

"Please rest assured!" Tang Yi patted his chest and said, "My nephew will do it within three years." ”

"It's good to have faith." Chen suddenly smiled and said: "In this way, I can't let you come in vain, the 150,000 stone grain over there in the long house, don't think about it, there are still 50,000 stones of grain stored here in our second room over the years, two taels and one stone, it may be a little expensive, you won't worry about your aunt, right?" ”

Where is it expensive, it is simply cheap, and Chen is deliberately saving face.

Tang Yi is really convinced, his mother-in-law is not only knowledgeable, but also able to pick up and put down the silver, just like his mother, the daughter is not bad, it seems that she has chosen the right person.

"Uncle, you are grateful for your kindness, but this grain was not borrowed by me, but by Lord Wang Chonggu, three taels of silver and one stone are already cheap, and the price must not be reduced, otherwise it will not be cheaper for outsiders?" Tang Yi deliberately bit the "outsider" to death, as if he was an "insider".

Chen smiled, "It's done, the extra silver can be regarded as Yueying's dowry!" ”

……

Coming out of the Wang family, Tang Yi was full of emotion, and in the poisonous eyes of Wang Shixian and Wang Shiyu, he watched them pull away 50,000 stone japonica rice.

Together with the 30,000 stone purchased before, a total of 80,000 stone of grain was gathered. Tang Yi gave an order, and more than 200 carriages loaded with grain marched towards Suzhou.

Brief Jie said that when he returned to Suzhou, it was already evening, and there were soldiers with swords inside and outside the city gates, waiting for battle.

Wang Chonggu adopted Tang Yi's advice and imposed a curfew on Suzhou, and anyone who wandered the streets would be arrested and interrogated as soon as it was dark.

During the time Tang Yi left, he arrested more than 80 thieves and robbers, and the rest were privately usurious, spreading rumors, accepting bribes, arresting hundreds in one go, and cutting down five yamen servants, and the prison was full.

Relying on vigorous and resolute means, there was no big mess in the end, and it was fortunate in misfortune.

When he learned that Tang Yi had returned, Wang Chonggu actually took people out of the city in person, and when he saw the convoy full of grain, Wang Chonggu burst into tears of joy.

"Okay, how much grain has been brought back?"

Tang Yi's face was full of shame, and he said: "The disciple is incompetent, and he only brought 80,000 stone of grain, which is entrusted by Mr. Minor. ”

Wang Chonggu's eyes were red, and he patted Tang Yi's shoulder with his big hand, almost knocking him apart.

"A lot, a lot, it's a talent."

Don't blame Wang Chonggu for his gaffe, it turned out that he had said that he was sure to get 250,000 stone of grain, but unfortunately, the cowhide was blown out.

As soon as Tang Yi left, news came one after another, and all the hexagrams that had been set had changed, and some of them were stuck on the road for various reasons and could not be transported to Suzhou. The most important 100,000 stone grain, from Jiangbei to Suzhou by canal, was detained by the Cao Gang. People don't say that they will deduct it, but they only say that the business is busy and they can't spare the hands to carry it. Then you have to send outsiders to move, I'm sorry, the Cao Gang has rules, don't think about touching the canal business if you don't enter the Cao Kou.

Coming and going, the so-called 250,000 stones, less than 50,000 stones were transported to Suzhou, it is better than Tang Yi!

Fortunately, Tang Yi is still kind, otherwise Wang Chonggu would have the heart to take a piece of tofu and kill him.

"Alas, with these 80,000 stone of grain, I can last a few days, but the old man still has no bottom in his heart." Wang Chonggu wrung his eyebrows and sighed: "At noon today, the price of the grain store has exceeded ten taels of silver, and the old man has grabbed the grain price hoarder in a row, and only by relying on his bloody head has he pushed the grain price back to nine taels of silver." Since ancient times, even in the years of war and chaos, how has the price of food ever reached this point, they want to force the old man to death! ”

No wonder Wang Chonggu got angry, and if he was replaced by someone else, he was afraid that he would have run away a long time ago, and he wouldn't be able to do it at all.

Tang Yi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Sir, although the food disciples didn't get too much, there is no need to worry about other things. ”

"How?"

"When the disciple returned to Taicang this time, he discussed with several directors of the transportation industry, and we agreed that we should maintain stable prices and not allow behaviors that undermine the market to occur. Therefore, we mobilized 200,000 horses of cotton cloth, 2 million catties of charcoal, and the rest of the silk porcelain, pots and pans, and a number of fresh vegetables, all of which were on the way to Suzhou. Starting tomorrow morning, the price of grain will still be limited, and the rest of the things will be supplied openly. Tang Yi said domineeringly.

After listening to Tang Yi's words, Wang Chonggu was really stupid, with so many materials, even those big families controlled by Zhao Xu could not be quickly mobilized, Tang Yi had such an appeal, it was really incredible!

"Okay, you didn't lie to the old man, did you?"

"Students don't dare to deceive their teachers and destroy their ancestors!"

"Good, good, good! As a teacher, I want to have two drinks with you! (To be continued.) )
