When the ...... The glass fell to the ground, the crystal fragments mixed with the splash of water, and it was enveloped by the rising heat, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.

"It's still early, this is sent by Xiao Sheng to deliver the news."

Duan Hongshi rolled his eyes, and with a word, he stopped Li Shi, who was about to rush out of the door.

"Ah...... I just want to see the weather, haha......"

Li Yan scratched his head and turned back to sit down, asking the messenger who rushed to the starry night for details.

After placing the messenger, the servant woman came to clean up and pour a glass of water for Li Shi, he picked up the glass and was silent in thought, until Duan Hongshi coughed again, and then seemed to wake up from a dream.

"This Xiao Sheng, I mentioned him before, and now I know how to play the teacher's set."

Li Xian said calmly.

Xiao Sheng pretended to hand over the prisoners arrested by the patrol to the Quanzhou government prison, let Liang Deguang and a few people mix into the cell, and then set fire to the study room at night, and then let the prisoners create chaos and save people from the chaos. The whole process was seamless, and afterwards the government did not know whether it was an accident or someone robbed the prison, and without the document, Xiao Sheng's traces of action were also wiped clean.

"Doesn't your hand hurt?"

Duan Hongshi asked, Li Shi sighed at this time, and put the glass back on the table, his hand trembled so badly that the hot tea splashed half of the back of his hand.

"If you want to cry or laugh, whether you are annoyed or excited, there is no need to pretend in front of the teacher...... Mannerism is also useless. ”

Duan Hongshi unceremoniously poked Li Xian's already broken heart.

"Teacher ......"

Li Xian's face was bitter, and this call was still begging for three points.

"If you don't take it, you will be a disaster! Yan Sanniang's suffering, isn't it your Li Xian's sin! God also left you a blessing, Sanniang hasn't married into the door yet, Xiao Sheng happens to be in Quanzhou, otherwise...... That man was here to report the funeral! ”

Duan Hongshi seemed to be really angry.

"You, everything else is fine, but you're too picky about women! If there is a point of impurity, you just avoid it, and you don't want to stretch out your hand, so you don't want to spend your own strength to forge and refine it. Except for a girl like Guan Xuan who grew up with you since she was a child and takes your heart as her heart, where can I find a beautiful jade that is compatible with you and has no gaps!? Do you want to be a god, or do you want to save the world? ”

Duan Hongshi really saw Li Shi through, and after washing it down, Li Shi's face was blue and white.

"Teacher...... A person has so much heart, and when he uses it in the world, there is not much that can be distributed to women. ”

Li Xian pale and feebly defended.

"The world? The heart is selfless in the world! Han Gaozu Gu En, Empress Lu, created a chaotic government after Lu, Emperor Wen of Sui was alone, and made Emperor Yang of Sui! People of the world...... If you want to be a human being, don't think that the bed is your own. ”

Listening to Duan Hongshi's excuse to play, Li Shi raised his eyebrows, hey, when you are the boss together, you will inevitably have a happy marriage and a happy relationship? What about Tang Taizong and Empress Changsun, Ming Taizu and Empress Ma?

His mind turned, and he had a rhetoric: "The core of our affairs must be pure, this is the public, from the public and my own selfishness, isn't that the same truth?" ”

That's true, but ...... Speaking of which, it doesn't change the fact that you are confused on this matter. That's right, Yan Sanniang has a marriage contract, and she herself is trapped in such constraints, but your mind has already soaked her, can a woman like her still have a stable husband and children? ”

Duan Hongshi finally hit Li Shi's vital point, making him pale.

"Yes, teacher, I do...... It's a quibble, indeed. ”

Li Xi sighed deeply, and when the scene of the farewell on the trestle appeared in front of him again, the three words "stay" turned around his mouth several times, but he still couldn't get out. At that moment, he seemed to have returned to his previous life, and he became the workaholic again, and the girl who was pasted up was only a bed partner, and when he suddenly woke up and wanted to catch someone, the girl had already turned into a butterfly and flown away, so ...... It's tangled.

"Yes, teacher, I decided ......"

Li Xian's eyes were resolute, Duan Hongshi stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction, and said in his heart that Li Xian should have let go of his guard, and opened his big bed, as long as he brought his niece and granddaughter, she couldn't escape if she wanted to.

"After that, if there are any more women, I won't see them all, and I will resolutely drive them away!"

When he saw Duan Hong's eyebrows fluttering when he saw Duan Hong out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to be proud, knowing what the hell this old fox should be doing, Li Xian's tone changed, and this gambling curse swore that the old man was also ouching, he shook with one hand, and actually tore off a few mustaches.

"When it comes to core purity, you don't have any other ideas about hoarding rice?"

Li Shi turned around in surprise, and Duan Hongshi quickly changed the topic.

"Let's see at the next two meetings, I'm also a little worried."

This topic suddenly became heavy, like the rice he had hoarded, and it weighed heavily on his heart, and it also suppressed his fiery heart that he couldn't wait for, and just wanted to embrace the stubborn girl in his arms.

Shangri-La...... His peach source, now coming again, has a heavy sense of homesickness, which makes the girl's steps more and more difficult.

Didn't he be like a bird flying out of the cage before, and he had to rush over, leaving even the guards of the Xiao Sheng faction far behind?

The Tingtao Tower in the inner fort was already clearly visible, Yan Sanniang not only stopped, but even had a panic of turning her head and wanting to escape.

"Division...... Master! ”

A whisper of surprise sounded, it was her "proud disciple" Fang Tangheng, today he was on duty at the gate of the inner fort, and several other guards also greeted him together, although Yan Sanniang changed into an ordinary village girl's skirt and wore a veil hat, but that fluttering posture, these disciples of them are very familiar.

This call, like a kite with a broken string being pulled by someone, the hesitation in her heart collapsed in an instant, Yan Sanniang waved her hand repeatedly, she didn't know if she could still be their master, and she didn't dare to accept this title again.

Fang Tang Heng and the other guards were mistaken, but when she didn't want to make a noise, they all became dumb, so she stood respectfully and solemnly, and sent Yan Sanniang's figure into the door with reverent eyes. They all know the feat of this young master in Fujian.

"The head secretary is upstairs, he should be in a hurry."

The guard of Tingtao Tower was Hu Hanshan, bowed down and stretched out his arms, and invited Yan Sanniang upstairs, although there was a meeting upstairs, Hu Hanshan knew that his general secretary would be happy to accept this surprise.

At the door of the hall on the third floor, Pan Shiyu and Luo Tangyuan stood on the left and right like door gods, and when they saw Yan Sanniang, their eyes were round, but they didn't dare to make a sound, and there were faint words coming out inside. Yan Sanniang heard that she was in a meeting, and wanted to go downstairs to wait, but the word kept mentioning in the words caught her attention, and she couldn't help but stay outside the door and listen.

Peng Xianzhong was making a report, "Hun Huan has already hoarded about 1230,000 stone rice, and the Guan Hui has brought in rice merchants from Baoqing, Hengzhou, Yongzhou, Chenzhou and Guiyang Prefecture in Hunan, and now they are waiting for the General Department to help them make money." ”

More than half a month ago, Li Shi's prophecy finally came true, with Guangzhou as the center, covering Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, Gaozhou and Huizhou, the price of rice is soaring.

Previously, Peng Xianzhong followed Li Xian's instructions and used the Hun tariff as collateral to stir up the Hunan merchants in Guanhui, and then through them he came into contact with the rice merchants in Xiangxi and southern Xiangnan, and finally raised enough silver taels and began to hoard a large amount of rice, preparing to fight a vigorous rice war. And today's development, as Li Xi expected, not only Peng Xianzhong and others obeyed Li Shi's judgment, but Guan Hui and the rice merchants who followed Guan Hui also handed over the decision-making power to Li Shi.

Liu Xingchun's report is more critical, "According to the previous arrangement of the General Division, Tao Fuyu Hanyi sent people to report the price of rice every two days, and today I just got their news, in the city of Guangzhou, the price of rice has risen to 226 yuan, this is the price of rice two days ago, and today it may rise by another dollar." ”

Duan Hongshi frowned and said: "It's very strange, according to the system of this dynasty, every state and county has a regular position, and in the whole of Guangdong, the rice stored in the regular position is close to 300,000 stones, and only the two counties of Panyu in the South China Sea have 60,000 or 70,000 stone warehouses of grain. In the 40th year of Kangxi, the price of rice in Guangdong also rose in the province, but before the parity was twice as high, the governor had already ordered the opening of a position to reduce the price. Now that the price of rice is about to triple up, the governor still hasn't taken any action? ”

The background of this matter is complicated, Li Xian thought of the impeachment of the two governors, combined with Duan Hongshi's background explanation, an idea suddenly jumped into his mind, could it be ...... The sharp rise in food prices really has something to do with these two buddies themselves?

and Duan Hongshi looked at each other, and both of them suddenly figured it out.

Li Xi said in a deep voice: "This is not the end, if I guess it is correct, it should be that Guangdong's regular liquidation is seriously in deficit, and there is a problem with Chunguang, and the local rice merchants in Guangdong have begun to hoard rice by themselves, raising the price of rice." ”【1】

Duan Hongshi continued: "Grain merchants from other places are all waiting and seeing, afraid that the governor will lose them by closing the position, so they dare not rashly collect rice and enter the market, and the grain entering Guangdong will naturally be greatly reduced. But looking at this situation, Zhao Hongcan and Man Pi did not dare to issue a jun order to open a position, let alone publicize this matter to the public, otherwise a case of standing liquidation and shortfall affecting the whole province would be staged, and it would be ...... by then."

The old man sneered and said, "The saint's sixtieth birthday is not comfortable. ”

Everyone looked at each other, all of them were shaking their heartstrings, and the price of rice in Guangdong rose sharply, and it was actually related to the government.

"So food prices are going to go up!? We have more than 100,000 stone rice, but we can't get the biggest sweetness in this chaos! ”

Peng Xianzhong was excited, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, one stone of rice can earn at least twice the price! He was already thinking about whether to make up his mind to the old man in the family, squeeze out all the family resources, and follow Li Xianbo.

"Fourth brother, I said before that although our company is in charge of this matter, it only paid 40,000 taels of silver, so you can't make much money, you want less silver, let's make it together!"

Guan Fengsheng was also excited, this is tens of thousands of silver, you can get two or three times as much as if you change hands, when will there be such benefits?

In the past half a year, deacons like Si Dong and Liu Xingchun have bulged their pockets, although they are not considered a rich family, but the family still has a few hundred taels of silver.

"Fundraising! Fourth brother, fundraising! Don't talk about our Li Zhuang, as long as the people who have dealings with our Qingtian company have some surplus money, and the fourth brother speaks, it is not a problem to raise another 40,000 taels! ”

He Gui shouted with a flushed face.

"Our vaults...... Isn't it time to use it? ”

Wu Yaluo remembered the gold that had been mined for most of the past six months, although the specific amount was not clear, but it was not worth more than 40,000 taels of silver, maybe 100,000 taels.

Everyone was talking in high spirits, but Li Xi looked calm, and even had a faint trace of worry. He looked around at everyone, his flushed face, his excited voice, and the claws of a hideous beast seemed to be moving in the depths. Seeing Tian Dayou again, this man lowered his head and didn't say a word, his eyes were also floating, and he didn't belong to his mind.

His gaze finally fell on Duan Hongshi's face, and the old man looked back at him with clear eyes, as if he had been observing his expression.

"It's not just about silver......"

Li Xian sighed, his thoughts were a little confused.

At this moment, a low voice suddenly sounded outside the door, as if the exclamation was covered before it could be exited, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps going downstairs.

"Master!"

The two of them greeted each other in surprise outside the door, and Li Xian's brows suddenly stretched, and joy filled his whole body and mind.
