"Okay, okay, I'll deliver it." Yu Poria immediately responded.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and at night it was like a pouring of rain, and the sound of falling rain made people panic and could also hide some of the sounds.

The old lady of the Chen family didn't even survive the three or five days that Yu Jiao said, and when Chen Qin's went to feed her in the evening, she couldn't wake up, and when she touched the old lady's body, she found that it was already cold.

Chen Qin's family was startled, the rice bowl in his hand knocked over to the ground, and he shouted sharply, alarming everyone in the Chen family.

Chen Gensheng hurried to the house, tried the old lady's breathing with trembling hands, fell to his knees, cried sadly, and blamed himself for the old lady not being able to say the last word to her before she died.

The torrential rain does not stop, and it is a sleepless night at Chen's house.

The incessant wailing was muffled by the sound of falling rain, and was unknown.

This rainstorm has been raining for five days, and the people in the village are worried, this year is so rainy, some of the wheat seeds in the field have not yet sprouted, I am afraid that they will be soaked and rotten, which will affect the harvest of the next year.

In the end, the Chen family concealed the fact that Mrs. Chen was too late for Chen Zhiqing's future, so they parked Mrs. Chen's body in the house where she lived.

There was a dead man in the house, and the Chen family was uneasy, but fortunately, no one came to the door when it rained like this.

When the rain was a little weaker, the people in the village went to the fields to release water in their robes, and all the fields at the foot of the mountain that were slightly weaker were flooded.

The road was muddy, and Gu Yun and Liu Ziqi could not leave, so they could only stay in Qingyu Village.

"Master Gu Xiaohou, I want to talk to you about a deal." After lunch, Yu Jiao thought about it again and again, and knocked on Gu Yun's door.

Since it was verified that there was no mole on Yu Jiao's body that day, and it was not a plain note, Gu Yun had not spoken to her again in the past few days.

"What kind of deal?" Seeing that Yu Jiao took the initiative to find her, Gu Yun was very curious.

"This summer is rainy, there is a chance that there will be autumn floods in the north, if there is a real flood, the people in the north will suffer, food will be in short supply, I want to harvest a batch of grain." Yu Jiao said.

She had a divination that the north would inevitably suffer, but the disaster was not serious, and now she had nearly two thousand taels of silver in her hand, and she used these taels to hoard food, which could come in handy after a while.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yun frowned and stared at Yu Jiao when he heard this, and said reproachfully, "I always knew that you were smart, but I didn't expect that you still have the potential to be a profiteer. ”

Yu Jiao was slightly stunned, she was also a little surprised, she didn't expect that the arrogant Gu Yun still had the people in her heart, and she knew how to pity the people's suffering.

Yu Jiao smiled lightly, "Although I want to make money, I don't want to be a black-hearted businessman, what Gu Xiaohou said is that if there is a disaster, most of the people who suffer are poor people, but I don't hoard this grain, and there will be other grain merchants who take this opportunity to raise prices, I can guarantee Gu Xiaohou Ye that if I hoard grain, I will never ask for a sky-high price, and I will control the price of grain within a reasonable range that the affected people can afford." ”

She paused and continued, "If the price of my grain is low, the business of the grain shop with a high selling price will inevitably wither, and we will not be able to dominate the family, so that the price of their grain will not be too high, and we businessmen will form a healthy competition, and the poor people will benefit from it." ”

Gu Yun didn't expect her to have such thoughts, there is a lot of rain in the north this year, and the imperial court has not allocated funds in time, and now the dredging project of the Surabaya River is only more than half, if the northern land is really affected, the imperial court really can't count on the relief of grain.

Gu Yun knows very well that the twists and turns in the disaster relief of the imperial court, the exploitation of officials at all levels, and the grain that can really be put into the hands of the people is very small, and those greedy businessmen will not care about the life and death of the people, but Yu Jiao's method is feasible.

Gu Yun pondered for a while, "It's okay to make this deal with you, but I have one condition, if it is really a disaster, not everyone may have the money to buy food, you need to take out 20% of the food to give porridge and charity." ”

"Gu Xiaohou said lightly, I may not be able to earn 20% of the food money, my net worth is not as rich as yours." How can Yu Jiao open her mouth, she should give up 20% of the grain, she didn't plan to set the price of grain too high, and there is a degree of kindness.

"If Gu Xiaohou wants to do good, why don't you come and give these two percent of the grain?" Yu Jiao said, "Your prince's mansion is supported by the people on weekdays, and the people should also feed the people when they are affected." ”

Gu Yun knew that she was very articulate, but he was really negligent, with Yu Jiao's background, how much silver could she have in her hand.

"How much money do you have?" Gu Yun asked.

Yu Jiao compared two fingers, "Two thousand taels." ”

"I don't think you can save two thousand taels of silver." Gu Yun knew that she had good medical skills, but after all, she was in such a countryside, and it was not easy to earn two thousand taels.

Gu Yun thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will add three thousand taels and let people go to the Suhu River to collect grain, if the north is really affected, you can help me give up two percent of the grain to give up porridge and charity, but you need to remember that you can't raise the price of grain, and I will let people stare at you then." ”
