"Since the Xue family has bumped into it, then they can only be blamed for their bad luck!"

After hearing about the Xue family's unfortunate experience, the eldest lord chuckled and said, "Tell those members of the Xue family that if you want to get rid of trouble, spend money to eliminate the disaster!" ”

Lian Er, who ran errands for the Xue family to inquire about the situation, said curiously: "Master, how much does it cost?" ”

"Ask the Xue family to take out 200,000 taels of silver, and that's about it!"

The eldest lord said indifferently: "That is, there is no meaning to study deeply, otherwise things will not be so easy to settle!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the imperial city and said leisurely: "At such a fateful moment, I was involved in secretly buying grain from the official warehouse, and I am thankful that I was not held accountable!" ”

Lian Er's face changed slightly, and he exclaimed, "Could it be that the rumors are true?" ”

"What rumors?"

"Today, because of the official cang, I have the urge to kill!"

Lian Er smiled bitterly: "I have sealed all the largest grain stores in the city in one go, it seems that I am not so angry this time!" ”

"It's nature!"

The eldest lord sneered: "It's just a normal time, it's difficult to transport the materials outside the road in time due to heavy snowfall, what will happen if there is a problem with the food supply?" ”

Saying that, looking in the direction of the refugee camp outside the city, Sen Ran said: "If you don't have anything to eat, I'm afraid that the second-rate people outside the city are going to riot!" ”

Lian Er gasped, and only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter.

"After returning home, make it clear to the Xue family that it is best to use equivalent food to avoid this disaster!"

The eldest lord advised: "Otherwise, when I think of this one day, I may be settled by the Queen of the Autumn, and I want them to watch it!" ”

It's interesting to think about, but I don't think it's good to be remembered by the emperor.

What's not so good, it's terrible.

The mother and son of the Xue family have been terrified and frightened in the past few days.

What does it mean to sit in a house and curse from heaven?

The current experience of the Xue family is the best example, because the stewards outside are greedy for cheap benefits, and as a result, the masters of the Xue family are miserable.

Not to mention that the Xue family's grain store in the capital was sealed, it may cause more serious consequences.

As soon as the matter came out, Aunt Xue didn't care whether it was useful or not, and directly found Mrs. Wang to ask for help.

Mrs. Wang is definitely a ruthless person, and she has given full play to her 'fierceness' in dealing with her relatives.

Seeing that Aunt Xue came to ask for help, she didn't say whether she had the ability to help, she asked for 50,000 taels of activity funds, and as for whether she helped or not, only he and his henchmen knew.

It's just that Aunt Xue still has something to do after so many years, and she also has a certain degree of precaution against Mrs. Wang.

After urging Mrs. Wang several times to no avail, she listened to Xue Baochai's advice and sought the help of Dafang Lian Er and Wang Xifeng.

Lian Er didn't want to interfere at first, but the current situation is unclear, and he doesn't know what his attitude is now, how dare he easily participate in such a thing?

It was still the Xue family who paid a lot of money and directly took out 50,000 taels of silver as 'activity funds', and at the instigation of Wang Xifenghuang, he reluctantly ran to the eldest master's side to listen to the news.

The eldest lord knew the situation at this time, and knew that everything was mainly stable at the moment, and the capital was now a powder keg, and there must be no accidents at the moment, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

The background of those big grain merchants in the capital is not simple, and they don't kill people directly today or have scruples, but what is the Xue family?

When this time the displacements are completely over, maybe the accounts will be settled after the autumn.

If you don't settle the problem before liquidating it now, you won't have a chance in the future, or you will need to pay a more painful price to avoid the trouble in the future.

Fortunately, the eldest master didn't want to destroy the benefits he had gained from repaying the silver before because of the Xue family's affairs, so he planned to help, mainly because the Xue family really just suffered from the disaster this time.

Of course, capital crimes can be avoided and living crimes cannot be escaped, he asked Lian Er to give the Xue family a bad idea, and he must pay a great price to obtain today's understanding, otherwise there will still be trouble in the future.

After getting Lian Er's reply, Aunt Xue was suspicious, the price of 200,000 taels of silver was still too great, even with the wealth of the Xue family, she felt heartache.

Especially Xue Pan's house, because he took the initiative to leave Jinling, not only lost the position of the patriarch, but also lost many of the Xue family's businesses in the south.

Xue Pan is not a reliable businessman, fortunately, after several years of study and school career of the Jia clan, he has smoothed out the gentleman's temperament, and also learned the basic business skills, as well as Xue Baochai's advice, which can stabilize their business in the capital.

It's just that it's not enough.

If you want to keep the qualification of the imperial businessman, the amount of silver that you pay to the internal affairs office every year alone is not a small amount, and the consequence of not moving forward is to be replaced by a latecomer, and the competition for the qualification of the imperial merchant is also quite fierce.

Not to mention, since living in Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang alone took away three or four hundred thousand taels of silver, which is also a big burden for the Xue family.

This time, he suffered an unwarranted disaster, according to the reminder of the eldest master, but to cut off a business of the Xue family in the capital, it is not a joke that the losses now and in the future add up.

It's just a pity that in order to avoid trouble in the future, the Xue family had to bleed heavily this time.

Soon, Dai Quan, the chief manager of the Ouchi, got the benefit, and seeing that he was in a good mood today, he cautiously leaned over and said with a smile: "Emperor, this guy here today is really rare, and he actually wants to ask me for help!" ”

"Oh, Jia Enhou still has something to ask you to help with?"

Today glanced at Dai Quan and sneered: "Tell me, what's the matter?" ”

Dai Quan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's not for their relatives to come forward, you want to ask me to tell the imperial grandfather to talk about it and let his relatives go!" ”

"What's the matter, the relatives of the Jia Enhou family have caused trouble, and they have committed it to me?"

Now he became interested and urged: "Say, is that relative of his family who is guilty?" ”

"Jinling Xue Family!"

Dai Quan didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Their family has a good relationship with the Jia family, and when the emperor cleaned up the grain merchants in Beijing a few days ago, he also collected the Xue family's grain shop by the way!" ”

"So, is this trying to get back to the sealed grain shop?"

Today's face sank, and he said coldly: "The Xue family is so bold, can it also participate in the matter of entering the official warehouse?" ”

"Not really!"

Dai Quan's face was terrified, but he was very stable in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "The Xue family did not participate in the affairs of the official warehouse, otherwise they would have been arrested by the embroidered clothes guard, but their family's grain shop in the capital was greedy for benefits and wantonly bought the old grain that flowed out of the official remnants, and it was swept away by the embroidered clothes guard!" ”

The look on his face eased at this time, and he nodded and motioned for Dai Quan to continue.

"The head of the Xue family was frightened when he heard the news, so he asked Jia Enhou to ask Jia Enhou for help and eliminated this disaster!"

Dai Quan explained: "The Xue family is a century-old imperial businessman, but I don't want to lose my status as an imperial businessman because of this, and I don't want to have any risks in the future!" ”

"Humph!"

Today snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "Am I the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong? ”

Dai Quan laughed again and again to say goodbye, and waited for his expression to ease up before he said; "In order to accompany the crime, the Xue family is willing to contribute all the grain worth 200,000 taels in the grain shop in Beijing and the granary outside the city to share the worries of the court and His Majesty!"

After saying that, he didn't continue to say more, and he understood the truth of going too far better than anyone else.

His expression is calm now, and no one can see what he thinks in his heart, but as a close person around him, Dai Quan still knows that the emperor at this time is not in a bad mood.

That's it!

Sure enough, he smiled leisurely for a moment: "I didn't expect a mere imperial merchant to be so loyal to the country, and I am not such an unreasonable bastard, this time the matter is over, but ......"

In the end, he turned around, ignored Dai Quan's slightly changing eyes, and said slowly: "Such a positive example must be commended, so let's publicize this matter!" ”

Dai Quan nodded in understanding, and an imperial merchant casually took out grain worth 200,000 taels of silver, and the imperial merchants in the capital were not a hundred or eighty, and the number of imperial merchants scattered all over the country was even more.

With the Xue family's 'demonstration', if they don't have any ideas, not to mention whether they will have any ideas today, the Internal Affairs Office will not agree.

If the strength of most of the imperial merchants in the world is gathered, as long as they give a little bit of blood, there will be no shortage of food for disaster relief in the capital this time, and maybe the millions of taels of silver obtained from the emergency collection can solve the disaster relief without moving.

It's just that the Xue family was roasted on the fire this time, and life will definitely not be very easy.

But this has nothing to do with Dai Quan, now that he has made a decision, Dai Quan only has to obey orders, and he is not allowed to have other thoughts.

After this incident, his mood is obviously better today, how can he forget about such a group as the imperial merchants.

The imperial merchant thought of the richer salt merchant again, but it was a pity that the land of Lianghuai was too far away from the capital, otherwise if he asked the salt merchant to bleed and take the silver out, why bother with him?

The salt merchants are not the richest group in Daqi, I heard that the maritime merchants are richer than the salt merchants, but I don't know if it is true or not, if we can get a little silver from the hands of these rich people, the silver treasury on the other side of the household will not be empty, and the court will not worry about the silver.

It's just a pity that the matter is too urgent at the moment, and the cold weather and the freezing of the road and water, not to mention the transmission to the south, thousands of miles away, are just trying to clean up the troubles in Gyeonggi.

The current situation is very worrying today.

After sealing several large grain shops in the capital, the old grain from the official warehouse that was confiscated back could last for a few months, and now I want to get grain from the imperial merchants, so I don't have to worry about food for at least half a year.

However, millions of victims gathered outside the capital, which has brought a lot of hidden dangers to the security and safety of the capital, and a bad one may lead to a military disaster, which is a situation that we do not want to see today.

The worries in my heart didn't last long, and the eldest lord quickly helped the imperial court and solved most of the troubles and hidden dangers.
