It's an early day. Jiang Mo sat on his knees on the main seat of the main hall, the small stove on the side was still boiling tea, exuding steaming heat, but the room did not feel hot at all.

What a treat.

Living by the Qujiang River, the greenery is not too good.

It's already the end of the seventh lunar month, and it's about to be the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and there are ice cubes to cool off.

Brewing tea leisurely and leisurely, nourishing health, the fairy days are probably like this.

A room of tea fragrance, Liu Chenxing took a deep breath, the tea fragrance was crisp and refreshing, and he couldn't help but sigh comfortably.

The teacher is from everyone's background, rich for three generations of family sisters-in-law, and has been accustomed to etiquette norms since childhood, and now he is quite a little free and easy to return to the basics, but not limited to the etiquette on the surface, Liu Chenxing thinks that he has not reached the realm of the teacher, even if he is wearing straw sandals and sitting cross-legged, he also has a natural wanton meaning, so she still honestly sat down on the side, and said with a well-behaved smile: "The teacher was not there yesterday, Ah Xing failed to learn from the teacher, and today I didn't come to make up for it earlier, but how can I do it." He smiled even more like a good student, "With a good teacher like you to teach, if Ah Xing doesn't work hard, it will be unreasonable." ”

The master and apprentice have not been together for a long time, but they understand each other's temperament.

Jiang Mo accepted the disciple's whiskers calmly, so he scooped up a cup of tea and handed it over, "Moisten your mouth." ”

"Thank you, teacher." It's really in vain that she said so many nice things, didn't she just want to ask for a cup of tea cooked by the teacher herself?

Take a sip, a little bitter, a little salt, but then it is fragrant and sweet, Liu Chenxing drank it with a smile and squinted, and then waited for the tea soup to stop burning his mouth, drank it directly, and put the empty teacup on the long case on the right hand, only to see that in addition to the sandalwood incense burner that is rising on the case, there is also a pen, ink, paper and inkstone that are usually placed on the case, and there is half of the cursive writing on the snow-white rice paper, and there are two wooden boxes painted red and gold, with a prayer post on it, which is a gift from outside.

Every day to the teacher to study, know that the teacher to give gifts to the people like a fish across the river, just to ask for a piece of ink, or to get a good review, since then famous, but also because there are too many people to give gifts, the teacher has never looked at these gifts, and even do not accept them, someone dares to put them outside the door of the farmhouse and leave, the teacher can let them be put outside and not collect, why is this time to let the hall into the room?

I wondered in my heart, Liu Chenxing didn't hide it, and directly asked curiously: "Teacher, who gave the gift?" Let the teacher make an exception to accept it. ”

Jiang Mo also scooped up a cup of tea for himself, glanced at Liu Chenxing when he heard the words, and drank the tea soup unhurriedly, before he said slowly: "This is a gift from others, you can't overstep your responsibilities as a teacher, you decide whether to accept it or not." ”

"A gift for me?" Too surprised, I never expected it to be given to her, and there was nothing to pretend in front of the teacher, Liu Chenxing's eyes widened in surprise, took Jiang Mo's empty teacup hand, put the teacup down, and pointed to his nose.

Although the disciple is a little lady, and he is not bad, and he has seen his mother, he has a gentle personality and is very knowledgeable, but I don't know what is going on with the disciple, his skin is like a monkey, and his words and deeds are slightly exaggerated when no one is around, but the diet and some behaviors are quite gentle, so it is harmless, and he doesn't need to say more, Jiang Mo only glanced at Liu Chenxing lightly, and said: "There is a prayer post, you will know when you see it." ”

Liu Chenxing nodded, picked up the post and opened it to take a look.

There is nothing to say about the content, nothing more than some words admiring her knowledge, Liu Chenxing raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and directly crossed over with a glance, and came to the signature office.

I saw that the white paper and black words on it were clearly signed -

"Chang'an Grain Guild?"

It is a business office for buying, selling, trading.

At that time, most of the industrial and commercial organizations were called banks, which originated from the street vendors in the streets and alleys of the city ceremony, and often the same kind of shops were opened on the same street, such as the "brocade shop" and "gold bank".

Therefore, as the name suggests, the Chang'an Grain Guild is a chamber of commerce organized by Chang'an grain merchants.

These guilds usually chose a branch to take charge of internal affairs, and externally to handle relations with other industries and the government, and cooperate with the imperial court to maintain market order.

When looking at the information on the official warehouse in the history museum, it is inevitable that the guild must be involved.

The imperial court is not good at directly controlling the market, so it must pass through the guilds.

The power of the guild is not small, not only is it expected to come with the imperial court, but it will also set the price of goods.

This is also why, Ayaliu has traveled thousands of miles to many places, and the price of grain is almost the same every day.

As the saying goes, nothing is left to the Three Treasures Palace.

And the grain merchant will admire her talent?

It all sounded like a joke to herself.

But now the Chang'an Grain Guild has given her a prayer post, and there is only one possibility, that is, she has joined the inspection team of the case of huge grain loss in Guancang today.

Almost when he read out the signature of the prayer post, Liu Chenxing already knew why he accepted the gift.

Taicang and Guanzhong's major official warehouses have huge food losses every year, and there is no doubt that there must be cats.

It is impossible for these "lost" grains to be directly converted into money, and the transformation of the last hurdle is the sale of grain merchants.

Since ancient times, collusion between officials and businessmen has been the norm.

During their inspection this time, it was a matter of time before they found out about the head of the Grain Guild, but they didn't expect the other party to move much faster than them.

Does this mean that there is more of a problem with this?

Liu Chenxing closed the post, looked at Jiang Mo and said, "Teacher, Ah Xing can't accept this gift." ”

People are old and refined, looking at Liu Chenxing like this, you know that Liu Chenxing has already understood why the grain merchant association gave gifts, Jiang Mo frowned and thought for a while, and then asked straight to the point: "Ah Xing, why were you involved in something related to Taicang?" ”

In addition to daily study, I came here today to ask for leave from my teacher Jiang Mo, and then I will make every effort to investigate the case of the huge loss of the official warehouse, and it is estimated that I can't come here to practice calligraphy as usual.

Liu Chenxing had planned to explain it in detail with Jiang Mo, and he didn't hide it at the moment, so he told Jiang Mo about the information he provided in the History Museum yesterday and how he was appointed by the empress as a member of the inspection team today, and then said: "Teacher, I will follow King Wei to investigate the case of Taicang's grain storage from tomorrow, and then I may leave Chang'an to investigate the problem of Guanzhong's seven state official warehouses, so it is estimated that I will not be able to learn from you in the next month or two." ”

"It's okay, it's a long time coming, it's not bad for a few months." Jiang Mo smiled and said: "This is your first errand since you joined the company, if you do it well, it will be of great benefit to your career." ”
