Yan Hong pondered again: "Then if I buy rice from grain merchants with silver, and then use this rice to sell it at a low price, I don't know what will happen?" ”

Yan Hong has not just eaten, drunk and had fun these days, in addition to being full of wine and food, he has also moved his mind a little to think about how to deal with this situation. However, the current situation is that officials in Jinan are basically unreliable. Although he has the identity of Qincha, he does not occupy the land and benefit people, and the situation is quite similar to that day when Shaoxing rescued Xu Hai. Although Liu Cai, the number one member in Shandong Province, Liu Yingshi, is a henchman of the Yan Mansion, but no one can guarantee how much substantial help he can give to the eldest young master in disaster relief.

This method of buying rice with money and losing money is also a temptation for Yan Hong. He was engaged in insurance sales in his previous life, and he was in business before he was possessed, don't you know the problem with this method? It's just a matter of taking this opportunity to see the reaction of Jinan's parents and officials.

Sure enough, Liu Cai heard him say this, nodded slightly, and said, "This method is feasible." It's just that the year is not good now, and there is not much rice in the hands of grain merchants. The price of this rice can only be slightly higher. Just using the 100,000 yuan of silver from the household department to buy grain, I am afraid that it will be difficult to help these hundreds of thousands of victims. Moreover, this kind of buying rice at a discount will hardly play much role in stabilizing grain prices. ”

Hai Rui said at this time: "What Liu Junmen said is reasonable. Not to mention that in the famine season at this time, the price of grain is soaring, and if you buy rice from the grain merchant at the market price, it will naturally have no effect, but will encourage the arrogance of the grain merchant to hoard Juqi. If you want to stabilize the price of grain, you can only let the rice merchants sell rice to the government at a low price, and then sell this rice grain to the people at a lower price, and set up another porridge shack. to give relief to the needless. Then they will give money to the old and weak to buy rice. A few ways can solve this problem. ”

Qian Feng said: "Hai Xilang's statement is ridiculous. How much is the price of tap rice, it is understandable to go with the market. Could it be that the dignified court still has to compete with the people for profit? We are all pastoral officials, not robbers of the green forest, how can we rob the rich and help the poor? In this way, wouldn't it be a loss of face for the court. ”

Yan Hong listened to Qian Feng say these words. Zhen Zhen had words, and his heart was filled with a trace of unhappiness. What does it mean to compete with the people for profit? Those people who are dying of starvation are not people? Only the big rice merchants are the people? Don't compete with those rice merchants who hoard and live strangely, and sit back and watch the people become ghosts, but the court has face? It's just that at this time, he still has to pretend to be that ordinary gentleman, and Qian Feng is a member of the Yan Mansion, and he is currently an ally of his on the surface, so such direct words are absolutely unspeakable.

Hai Rui's face was stricter: "Qian Fangbo, the price of rice is on the market, although it has been the norm since ancient times. However, in times of emergency, extraordinary methods must be practiced. Now Jinan is full of disaster victims. Grain merchants also hoarded Juqi to raise the price of rice, which was not only inhumane but also contrary to heavenly principles. If the hungry people are not allowed to eat, the old and weak throw their corpses away, and the strong people are afraid of taking risks, what is the benefit of ordinary rice merchants at that time? As an official, do you want to sit back and watch the people's upheaval in order to earn face for the court? ”

Qian Feng put this little official from the seventh rank in his eyes, and sneered: "Generally, Diao people take risks, and they have their own Shandong Metropolitan Division to send troops to suppress them. The hungry people are not allowed to eat, and the government provides relief and encourages the rich to give porridge. However, how can they be forced to lose their profits by official law? Hai Xilang, I heard that you came over on the road, and you all forced the businessmen to go out to help the people, although this is a good heart, but the fish and meat squire, the tiger and wolf people, but not much. ”

Hai Rui's eyebrows were slightly raised, and when he was about to open his mouth to refute, Governor Liu Cai hurriedly interjected: "Both of you are serious. Hai Xilang, there may be some inappropriateness in Qian Fangbo's words, but there is also a reason. Although our officials put the people's livelihood first, we cannot let them lose money to sell it. If that's the case, the rice merchants will leave one after another, and it will be even worse when the time comes. In the old man's opinion, it is better to set up a table of wine in the yamen tomorrow night, and invite a few rice merchants and gentry in the city to come to the banquet. ”

When it comes to this part, no matter how hard you chase and fight, it makes no sense. But don't count on this reception banquet, Liu Cai is too lazy to engage in the formalism of the four dishes and one soup. After everyone drank the tea in the cup, they said goodbye, and Yan Hong, Hai Rui and the others turned back.

The Qincha Xingyuan that was converted into the Wangjia Courtyard was enough for the hundreds of people who lived around Yan Hong before, but Hai Rui came over with hundreds of people along the way, but the Qincha Xingyuan couldn't live. Therefore, He Bingzhong had to lead his troops and some miscellaneous soldiers to be stationed outside the city. In the city, Hai Rui took the one hundred and fifty brocade officials and attachés and others to live in the Qin Mission.

After those official schools were stationed, they heard that Yan Hong was making a big fuss about appreciating the Spring Pavilion, and their eyes were red. They are all brocade clothes, and their comrades not only followed Chief Yan out of the limelight, but also made a lot of oil and water by the way, but also got the beauty of protecting the beauty. There are more than a dozen of them, and they have already become good things with beauties, and they don't enjoy this kind of glamorous blessing. What's more, since the two divisions, even all kinds of extra gray income have been gone. Therefore, they scolded Hai Xilang behind their backs and did not mention it.

In addition, several other leaders and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Village, such as Ban Laosi, also followed Hai Rui's team and passed on a piece of news by the way. It turned out that the old man Sun Liesun was also rolling out of the rivers and mountains in a pool of blood in the green forests of Shandong, and he was quite worried about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. He thought that when he flew to Tiger Mountain for a while, the white-faced wolf Lei Zhanbiao lost face and left in a bad mood, most likely to take revenge. Therefore, he secretly made an appointment with Wang Qi's general soldiers, and mobilized troops and horses to set up an ambush.

Sure enough, a few days later, a military horse came to attack the people of Feihu Mountain, and was defeated by the ambush soldiers, beheading more than 40 ranks. It's just that these people are extremely brave, and when they see something wrong, they break through with their dead strength, and the officers and soldiers can't stop them, so they still eat them to break through. No leaders were caught, and a few of the wounded and captured committed suicide one after another. It looks very raw, but it's not a familiar face of Qingshigang.

After winning this battle, it is expected that Lei Zhanbiao also knows that it is a pipe dream to defeat Texas with his family background, and he will not dare to harass him again. And the old and young families of the cottage are almost settled. Sun Lie was worried that the girl was violent and rude, but Yan Hong was the grandson of Shoufu and was born in a scholarly family. If the daughter doesn't know how to invite pets and pets, and only blindly loses her temper, I'm afraid that sooner or later she will suffer.

Therefore, Sun Lao sent several leaders of the old squad to catch up with the Qincha team, one reported the news, and the other told Sun Yuerong to be careful. Unexpectedly, Sun Lie thought too much, and when these people caught up with Hai Rui's team, they learned that Yan Qin had taken Sun Yuerong to Jinan for treatment. When Ban Laosi heard this, he thought that there was nothing wrong with the relationship between the two, so he simply followed Hai Rui together.

To say that Ban Laosi was beaten by Hai Rui because of the second pillar to go to the book, and he has always been unhappy. He is on the same road as Hai Rui, one is not at ease with Sun Yuerong's niece, and the other is that he wants to find an opportunity to find some sins in Hai Rui, and he will participate in this performance in the future. But along the way, Ban Laosi watched Hai Rui's actions, but he admired more and more. When he arrived at the city of Jinan, he had long forgotten the grudge against his son, and threw himself on the five-body body that Hai Rui admired, and even thought that this Haida talent was a seven-grade talent, too wronged, and when he went back and waited for my four-grade official to come down, he simply exchanged it with him.

Now, the two groups of people from Qin Cha converged, and Sun Yuerong was relieved to learn that her father was fine. Hai Rui didn't care about that much, and after settling down the people, he went straight to Yan Hong. As soon as he saw Yan Hong, he said: "Yan Qianhu, what have you done in the past few days?" Yan Hong smiled slightly: "If there is something, please come to the study." ”

As soon as Hai Rui arrived in the study, there were Xi Tong and Li Kunpeng on guard at the door. The maids couldn't get to it, so they had to go to the kitchen. Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, there was a maid sentry outside the door, and the other two maids gently turned an inconspicuous celadon bowl on the cupboard, only to hear a sound of the mechanism, a secret door opened, and the two of them flashed in quickly, and their ears were attached to the bamboo.

But I heard Hai Rui's angry roar from inside the bamboo: "Erxi is an official of the imperial court, it is so ridiculous!" As I said before, the official will take a large group of people to move slowly, and you will bring a small entourage and make a private visit to investigate the people's suffering. As a result, as soon as you arrived in Jinan, you immediately exposed your identity as a messenger, yelled at five and drank six, and openly raised dozens of beautiful maids for sexual pleasure. ”

Then I heard Hai Rui scolding, righteous and strict, and accused Yan Hong of his sins one after another. said that he was greedy and lustful, and extravagant. It is said that he took bribes and was stationed in a mansion. He said that he was instructed to verify the officials, and instead of conducting detailed interviews, he was complicit in them. said that he went to Jinan for a few days, and only knew that he had spent all his time drinking and drinking, and did not ask whether hundreds of thousands of victims were alive or dead. said that he went in and out of the inner house with the daughter of the prefect and committed adultery......

After the last, Hai Rui said sharply: "Yan Qincha, although you are a righteous envoy, your actions are too absurd, which not only destroys the face of the court, but also bears the grace of His Majesty." Hai can't go with you, so he has to revise the book and play it for you, so that His Majesty will be punished heavily. ”

I heard Yan Hong's voice again: "Hai Xilang, don't talk big about deceiving people." Tell you the truth, just because you want to join me? Don't laugh off the big teeth of others. I just like this tune, but what can you do with me? I don't understand this relief thing, according to me, you can also save your worries, just hand over these things to Qian Fangbo and Liu Junmen, and they will do it. They are the big guys, and if something really happens, no one can escape the involvement, and they are not afraid that they will not care. After the deed is done, you and I will sit and wait for the cashier. If the journey is lonely, I will instruct the two little ladies to serve you in your diet and daily life. ”

Immediately, I heard a crisp sound of a teacup breaking, only to hear Hai Rui say angrily: "Yan Hong, you are talking such nonsense, insulting Sven, I have nothing to say to you, from today on, I live alone in a courtyard here, if there is someone who dares to come to Luo, I will be careful of my legs!" Farewell! ”

Yan Hong said lazily: "Then forgive me for not sending it far, you must remember that after the matter is completed, Hugh will share the first work." (To be continued......)
