Chapter 102 Chang'an Grain Prices

Mr. Jing Yuan is a great Confucian in the academic field and is respected by many scholars.

The news that he had stood in front of the medicine hall for more than an hour for a good word soon spread, and many people admired it.

There are more people who go, and naturally I find that this pharmacy is much stranger than other pharmacy, such as opening for half of the time than ordinary shops, the medicinal materials in Caiweitang are all the best, the price is fair, and even some pills are better than other pharmacy.

There are many people who know about it, and there are naturally more people who are willing to go to Caiweitang.

Pearl said happily, but she didn't expect that Mr. Jingyuan's actions would make the pharmacy's business so much better.

Ji Yanning couldn't laugh.

After being reborn, she rarely used the font she was used to writing again, she was good at imitating other people's fonts in her previous life, in order not to let others find out the clues, she is now imitating the original owner's handwriting, and on top of this, it has become her own handwriting.

The calligraphy is a little different, and it is difficult to hide the previous habits, but fortunately, this body is different from the past, and the strength of the pen is different, but it will not be easily noticed.

But Jing Yuan is his senior brother, and he knows his calligraphy and handwriting well, and he can recognize her words at a glance in his previous life.

The words on the plaque were written by her own hand, and she was worried that Jing Yuan had already recognized her words.

"Mr. Jing Yuan, can you ask the shopkeeper to write?" Ji Yanning asked Pearl.

Pearl shook his head: "I didn't ask about this, the shopkeeper said that Mr. Jingyuan just looked at the words on the plaque for more than an hour that day, and then left silently." However, there were many people in Caiweitang who grabbed medicine in the past, so naturally there were also questions, but the shopkeeper felt that the young lady was still a boudoir woman, and it was not appropriate to talk about it with them, so he only said that it was the word mentioned by the owner himself. ”

Ji Yanning nodded, satisfied with this approach.

She lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly, suddenly feeling that she was a little worried.

After all, twenty years later, who will remember her?

What's more, there are many people with similar handwriting, even if they are recognized, they can prevaricate with just a coincidence.

It's that she's too cautious.

Ying'er came in with hot tea.

Putting down the account book of Cai Wei Tang, Ji Yanning picked up the account book of Zuixiang Building again, she took a general look, although this restaurant was just a means for her to collect intelligence, but the shopkeeper He Yicheng took good care of it, and the income was also very considerable.

She glanced at the various expenses and incomes in the store, and suddenly stopped at the purchase of rice, and she pulled out the account books of the previous two months to compare them, and pondered.

Ji Yanning asked Pearl: "Can you hear about any disasters this year? Could it be that the grain harvest is not good?"

Pearl suddenly heard the eldest lady ask, and was slightly stunned, unable to answer for a while.

She is a first-class maid next to the eldest lady, and she just follows the eldest lady on weekdays, follows the eldest lady to learn medicine and medicine, and helps take care of Cai Weitang's affairs by the way, as for other things, she is rarely interested, and naturally she rarely pays attention to it.

"Miss, what do you want to ask?" Pearl wondered why she suddenly asked for no reason, presumably from the account books.

Ji Yanning knew that Pearl was smart, so he didn't intend to hide it from her: "The price of purchased rice written in this account book seems to have risen a little high, three months ago it was 12 yuan, and within a month it became 14 yuan, and now the price of rice is 15 yuan, which is really fast." ”

She believes in He Yicheng's character, so this account book should not be faked.

Pearl is the daughter of the shopkeeper, and her family is richer than ordinary people, hearing Ji Yanning say this, she was puzzled: "Recently, the New Year is approaching, and the price has risen because of this, and the rice of a bucket of twelve yuan has become fifteen yuan, and it doesn't seem to have risen much." ”

The Ji family is a well-known merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and the silver circulation in Baochang Ji is more than 1,000 taels, when did the eldest lady start to care about the matter of these two coins?

Ying'er, who was adding charcoal from behind the screen, heard Pearl say this, but interjected: "This is too much! For ordinary people, everything is hard-earned, and when I was in Jiangzhou, the price of rice at the end of the year did not increase much, and it was just one penny more than usual." ”

Ying'er was born in a farmer's household, and she used to live with her grandfather, so she naturally knew a thing or two about firewood, rice, oil and salt.

The price of rice in the Great Wei State was regulated by the imperial court and was responsible for the household department to stabilize the supply and demand of grain.

Household ......

Ji Yanning muttered softly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and remembered Hubu Shangshu Ningwei.

Her eyes lit up, and now that the opportunity was delivered to the door, she had to take advantage of it.

"Ying'er. Ji Yanning called Ying'er to him and said, "You go and help me do something." ”

Ying'er stepped forward and said, "Miss commanded, the slave and maid will definitely do it!"

Ji Yanning said: "You go and inquire about the price of rice in various grain shops in Chang'an, as well as the price of grain purchased by grain stores from farmers, and you have asked in recent months, in addition to these, if you can, you can find out the price of grain in the surrounding counties of Chang'an." ”

Ying'er memorized everything Ji Yanning said, and then went down to do things as instructed.

Ji Yanning put aside the account book in his hand and said to Pearl, "Grinding ink." ”

Pearl stepped forward to study ink for the eldest lady, and saw that she was going to write a letter, but she didn't ask anything more.

There are still two days left before the lunar month, and officials from all over the country should also submit their achievements this year to Chang'an, looking at the past friendships, she naturally wants to mention some Cen Qingshan.

Cen Qingshan did a good job as the prefect of Jiangzhou, he stayed in Jiangzhou for six years, and the people praised him, if he could serve in Chang'an, it would be a good opportunity to come. Moreover, Cen Qingshan had a meritorious role in suppressing bandits before, and saved Xiao Shaobei, and verified many incidents in Zhu Jinghe's hands.

Ji Yanning quickly wrote a letter and asked Ji Jiu to send someone to the post house.

Inside the palace of King Xuan.

"Cen Qingshan, the prefect of Jiangzhou?" Rong Che listened to the report from Qiu Li's inquiry, and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

Qiu Li shook his head: "The secret guard next to her is not under me, there are guards in the courtyard, and her subordinates didn't dare to get too close when they were probing, but they just followed the name they saw in the post house." ”

Rong Che bowed slightly, Ji Yanning has always been vigilant, no wonder he.

"Let the people over there in Jiangzhou find out the details of Cen Qingshan, especially the relationship between him and Baochangji. Rong Che said.

Qiu Carp answered yes and retreated.

Since the last time he met Ji Yanning, he felt that this woman was too weird and had too many secrets.

He is an idle prince known to the government and the opposition, he has always cared about the affairs of the court and the middle, and he has never liked to meddle in affairs, but in fact, what he should know, he naturally can't hide it.

Ji Yanning said that she knew that the current emperor killed his father and seized the throne.

When she said such a thing, was she talking gibberish or was it really something?

It has been more than 20 years since the emperor ascended the throne, how many people can remember the events of that year? Ji Yanning is just a fourteen-year-old girl, how could she know about the events of that year?

At that time, the first emperor was poisoned by Lou Qianyin, the envoy of the Tai Hospital, and colluded with the then Taifu Ying Wei'an to rebel, and was later suppressed by the current emperor himself to control the Ying family and the Lou family, and at the same time killed them all.

If you know the inside story of this matter, and it has something to do with Ji Yanning, it is Lao Dingbei Hou Xiao Jifeng.

The emperor has always disliked Xiao Jifeng, but the Dingbei Hou Mansion has too much merit to the Great Wei, and it is not something that can be suppressed casually, and if Xiao Jifeng is provoked, I don't know what he will do, so although the emperor is jealous, he never makes it difficult for the Beihou Mansion on the surface.

Knowing from Duan Wuflawless that it was Li Xiaoyun sent by the emperor to intercept and kill Xiao Jifeng's father and son at that time, he was naturally shocked in his heart.

But Ji Yanning's words today made him faintly feel a little worried.

is worried that she and Xiao Shaobei will go down the road they shouldn't go......

"Lord Wang, Duan Gongzi is here, and he is coming to the courtyard. "The people in the house stepped forward to report.

Rong Che came back to his senses and said, "Got it." ”

He stood up and was about to go to the front yard, but he didn't expect Duan Wuflawless to walk into the courtyard quickly.

"You're idle. Rong Che saw Duan Wuflawless and said with a smile, "Why did you have time to come to me?"

Duan Wufeng came over with wine, he stepped forward and put the two pots of wine in his hand on the table, and said: "Now Zhengqing won't let me meddle in the case of Dali Temple, let me go home and reflect on it for a few days before going back to deal with official business." ”

Rong Che also knew that it was because of the affairs of the Dingbei Hou Mansion and the Zhongdebo Mansion, and he said: "It's okay, it's just a show, give an explanation to the Zhongdebo Mansion, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

In the end, what does their grievance have to do with Duan Wuflaw, it's just because he was present at the time, even if he wanted to embarrass Dali Temple, it really couldn't be said.

But there is always a little worry about the face, after all, compared to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, the emperor trusts Yan Zheng more.

Duan Wufang opened the stopper and handed the wine to Rong Che.

Rong Che didn't refuse, picked it up and touched the wine bottle with him, raised his head and took a sip, only to feel the spicy and refreshing in his throat.

"Good wine. He chuckled.

"You tell me the truth, what is the identity of the woman you asked me to find before, and what is the relationship with Murong Mansion?" Duan Wuflaw asked.

When he saw Murong Yixue that day, he was suspicious and sent someone to keep an eye on Murong Mansion, but found that Murong Yixue was very peaceful, and she didn't look like the woman who was chased and fled that night, but he saw it very clearly, and it was indeed the same as Murong Yixue.

Rong Che was puzzled: "What does it have to do with Murong Mansion?"

Duan Wuflaw didn't hide it from him: "The masked woman I have been looking for you before, I have seen her true face, it is Murong Yixue." ”

"Ahem-" Rong Che had just taken a sip of wine, and when he heard Duan Wufang's words, he was almost choked, he was more puzzled than Duan Wufang, "How could it be Murong Yixue!"

If she was really Murong Yixue, how could she refuse to show her true face?

was arrested in Dali Temple, and actually asked Ji Yanning to use his imperial carp jade pendant to save him, which seemed unreasonable.
