What Lin Ruo said, but to tell the truth, the price of grain in the capital has risen again and again, and even the price of grain in the south of the Yangtze River has risen a lot.

For the former, the imperial court has allocated more than one million taels of disaster relief funds, which will be used for both the repair of the embankment and the resettlement of the victims, and it is not known how much can be used to buy grain; However, although the latter can collect grain and grass, it is very easy to provoke popular unrest - merchants have always been the group that is most likely to be branded as "rich and unkind".

The Lin family's 50,000 stone grain is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow.

Therefore, whether the crown prince is for his own reputation or to show his ability in front of the emperor and his ministers, he will definitely make the best use of these 50,000 stone rice grains, and he will not allow anyone under his hands to hold him back.

50,000 stone of grain is enough for the victims of Shangyu to spend more than a month. After that, it depends on the ability of Shangyu officials.

Raising a Shangyu City for nothing, the treasury can't support it, and the Lin family can't support it.

And blindly relying on the Lin family will only make the people feel that the court is incompetent.

Murong Chong nodded approvingly: "The flood is easy to get rid of, and the people's grievances are difficult to settle. Waiting for the relief grain to be delivered to Shangyu, the food of the victims has been settled, and the prince can focus on the rebuilding of the homeland and the spring ploughing in the coming year. ”

Lin Ruo echoed lightly: "The Jiangnan people are outstanding and the prince is in person, so he should be able to gather a group of local officials who have the ability to work hard, which is a good thing for him and the people of Shangyu." ”

New news has arrived, and Zhang Xu has already led the group of poor students of the academy to give advice in the prefect's yamen. These students come from humble backgrounds and know more about the sufferings of the people; And the identity of the students made the people believe in them. But Murong Chong didn't know this yet.

Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruoliang for a long time before he said, "You are different from other businessmen. ”

"Businessmen are all just for money, no different. It's just that I can see it better than others. Small wealth depends on wisdom, and big wealth depends on virtue. If you want to make a deal, you have to ensure your own interests while letting the other party get the maximum benefits he wants, not to mention that I am doing business with the emperor. ”

"Then what do you want to get from the emperor with the 50,000 stone of grain, sixty-four soup kitchens and sixteen free clinics?"

Lin Ruo looked at Murong Chong with a smile: "No one has really asked me this question." ”

retracted his gaze and turned into the distance: "The prince should know that Feng Huaxue is holding a grain stamp of millions of stones issued by the Bian'an grain owl in his hand, right?" ”

Murong Chong's heart froze, and he immediately understood what she meant. The grain stamps issued by the grain stores need to be approved by the official seal of the local government and the booklet for the record, so as to avoid trouble for the buyer when cashing out the grain. The grain stamps issued by the grain lords in Bian'an City have all been filed in Jingzhao Mansion, and the imperial court owes the Lin family such a big favor, and when the Lin family looks for these people to pay for food, the emperor will definitely order Yin of Jingzhao Mansion to help.

These profiteers took advantage of the national crisis to make a fortune, but there was no big fault in the law, but the payment of this contract is indeed clearly written in the provisions of the law, and if the grain lords do not honor it, they will suffer hardship.

Feng Shui takes turns, and retribution is unpleasant.

"The food stamps they have issued, so far, a total of 3.13 million stones, will continue to increase, nearly 200,000 households in Bian'an City, plus pedestrians, the annual consumption of rice grain is about 5 million stones."

"You know that?"

Lin Ruo shrugged his shoulders and said half-jokingly: "No way, I already plan to stand on the same line with the prince, the prince has outstanding military achievements, and he is the best candidate to open up the territory and quell the war." In the war, the expenditure on military rations alone is huge enough. The dowry for this marriage should naturally be fully prepared. ”

"Military rations? This is the real purpose of Xiangxuehai's bidding? ”

Lin Ruo nodded, the smile on his face faded, and he was quite serious: "Yes." The prince has been fighting abroad all the year round, so he naturally saves the truth that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. However, there are many politicians and corrupt officials in the DPRK who seek their own personal gains, and they do not understand at all how serious the consequences of the delay in military rations will be on the soldiers who are fighting bloodily on the battlefield. The prince should remember that sixteen years ago, the incident of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan. If the reinforcements and military rations of the imperial court were delivered in time, General Yunlu Qu Changci and Zhongwu General Qu Changbo would not have died on the battlefield, and Mrs. Xuanlu would not have been childless. The old marquis sends a white-haired person to a black-haired person, even if he is promoted to a national prince, what can he do? ”

Sixteen years ago, the Nanban disturbed the border. Today's Dian Gongqu Chi was still in the south of the town at that time. In the end, Zhennan waited for reinforcements and food and salary, and defeated all the Nanban, but the price was too great......

Murong Chong was silent for a long time before he spoke: "If the supply of food and salaries for the three armies can be solved, if the county lord has any orders in the future, this king will definitely be a sword mountain and a sea of fire, and he will not give up!" ”

"The prince is serious."

"It's just that the buying and selling of grain is controlled by the imperial court, and the grain lords from all over the country collude with each other and collude, what are you going to do? Do you need this king to come forward? ”

Lin Ruo shook his head and smiled slyly: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." As long as there is enough 'benefit', it will be easy to dismantle them. ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"The prince knows. The food stamps collected by the wind and snow are only valid for one year, and they will be invalid when they expire. ”

Murong Chong thought for a moment, and then gasped: "Therefore, the grain lord can't redeem the rice grain when it expires, and the silver that hasn't been heated has to be spit out obediently." ”

"It's not just the silver, maybe even the title deeds don't add up enough to pay for it." Lin Ruo smiled lightly, as if he was silently mourning for the sad fate of those greedy businessmen, "The country is in trouble, but they are raising the price of food and filling their own pockets, Ying Fu Yin and Shen Shangshu are worried that there is no way to rectify them!" ”

Murong Chong felt a faint chill on his back.

According to Donglu's commercial law, if one party breaches the contract, it is difficult to pay the goods or payment agreed by the other parties in the contract, and the defaulting party's family assets are used to pay off the debt. As a result, the grain shops, farmland, silver money, and grain in the hands of the grain lords in Bian'an City were all transferred to the hands of the Lin family, and the grain lords were busy, and finally ended up with a miserable end of "making wedding clothes for others".

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

Lin Ruo, like a yellow finch lurking behind the dense forest leaves, saw the praying mantis in front of him comfortably devouring the cicada, eating and drinking, before striking a shot, this shot is a fatal killing move!

Fast enough, accurate enough, and ruthless enough!

There was a clear, harmless light reflected in her bright eyes, like an innocent and innocent cardamom girl, who couldn't see any murder or bloodthirsty cruelty, but she was scheming like a sea, step by step, so that the old foxes who had been up and down in the business world for decades were at a loss, and even cheered and stepped into her carefully laid trap, smiling at the prey who had not yet felt the crisis, and in their final, slowly tightened the rope around their necks.
