Chapter 099 Grain Grain

?? The state is not far from Qingzhou, and after sailing for two hours, the treasure ship arrived at the place.

Wang Qifang and Li Jingniang got off the boat, changed into the carriage prepared by the Qian family, and rushed all the way to Qingzhou Mansion.

On the side of the Qingzhou Mansion, the cronies sent by Shi San's grandmother have been waiting for a long time, just waiting for Wang Qifang to come to the county government to record the file.

After Wang Qifang and his entourage arrived in a hurry, the people on both sides entered the mansion together, and the Qian family, who got the letter in the mansion, had already helped Wang Qifang take care of everything, just wait for her to bring the contract and register it under the witness of the three witnesses.

"Hehe, thank you for your master and second young master," the formalities were quickly completed, Wang Qifang walked out of the county office under the support of his subordinates, and glanced at Ziyuan on the side, Ziyuan took out a purse from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it to the steward sent by the Qian family, "This is the wine money that Madame gave you, thank you for your hard work." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," the little steward said in his mouth that he didn't dare, but the movements in his hands did not stop, he took the purse and pinched it subconsciously, well, hard, the size is not small, the touch from the fingers made the little steward very satisfied, the smile on his face became thicker, and he said with a little flattery, "Oh, Madame is so polite, the little one is ordered to do things for Madame, it is a small duty and blessing." ”

"By the way, has your second young grandmother come back from Beijing?"

Wang Qifang listened to the flattery of the little steward, and didn't say anything, just smiled slightly. Immediately, thinking of Mei Niang, who she hadn't seen for a long time, she asked with concern.

"Back to Mrs. Wang, the second young grandmother has been back for many days, when the little one went out this morning, the second young grandmother also explained the little one, let the little one say hello to you on her behalf," the little steward is very good at coming to things, obviously it is impossible to see the second young grandmother in the inner house with his identity, but he still helps Mei Niang say good things.

Speaking of this, the little steward really remembered one thing, he hunched over and approached Wang Qifang, and asked in a low voice, "There is another thing, when will Madame's grain arrive?" The second young master has already emptied all the grain shops of the Qian family, and is only waiting for his wife's food. ”

"Grain?" Wang Qifang walked to the carriage while talking, and inadvertently, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure flashing in the corner of the side, a smile welled up in her eyes, she deliberately raised her voice, and said: "You go back and tell your master and the second young master, just say that Mrs. Ben has raised tens of thousands of stones of new grain, and it will be transported to Qingzhou by sea tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Just let them clean the granaries and prepare for the harvest."

As soon as these words came out, the clouds moved in all directions.

Qingzhou, Zheng Fu.

"Tens of thousands of stone grains? How can it be? ”

After Zheng Sanyang listened to the reply of his subordinates, he sat in the hall with a frown, he pondered for a moment, "Impossible, the surplus grain of the entire Qi land adds up to less than 10,000 stones, Wu Jiliang has already purchased more than 1,000 stones, we have collected another 2,000 stones here, and the rest is only four or five thousand stones, and it is impossible to have tens of thousands of stones of grain." ”

Obviously, Wu Jiliang did not tell Zheng Sanyang about his quiet purchase of grain from Shangxian County.

"Dongjia, I heard that Shang County has a bumper grain harvest, do you think Wang Qiniang got grain from Shang County?"

It was a dry man in his thirties who spoke, he bowed down and stood behind Zheng Sanyang, blinked his little eyes twice, and reminded.

"Shang County?" Zheng Sanyang was suffocated, and then shook his head, "It's even more impossible, before the battle began, my lord, I sent more than a dozen people to scatter to the entire grain producing areas of Qidi, and there were also people in Shang County staring at it, although there was indeed a bumper harvest there, but the total output of grain was not high, and it was only four or five thousand stones." But there were more than a dozen grain merchants guarding there, and each of them was divided up with a few hundred stones, and the grain was all divided. ”

Hmm, wait, the last time the people from Shang County mentioned something when they returned to the matter, Zheng Sanyang suddenly remembered, he stood up and instructed his subordinates, "Go, immediately send a letter to the people of Shang County, and ask him who the merchant who bought grain on a large scale last time was, is it Wang Qiniang?" ”

"Yes, the little ones are going. Is the price of food still rising today? ”

The dry steward replied again and again, and then, remembering the purpose of his coming today, he hurriedly asked.

"Rise, why don't it rise, hum, today is the seventh day, and it is estimated that there is not much grain left in the Li Ji Grain Store, I will add fire to him, so that the people of the whole city know that this year's grain harvest is poor, and there is no surplus grain in Qidi, and when everyone is afraid, they will definitely speed up the pace of rushing to buy food, and ...... by then."

Hmph, I'll see how long Li Ji can last

Qingzhou, Li Ji Grain Stack.

"What? You said Mrs. Wang came to Qingzhou? ”

In charge of Li Ji Grain Store is one of Li Changshu's confidants, originally surnamed Liu, because of his loyalty, he was given the surname Li by Li Changshu, and his full name is Li Lizhong.

This morning, he had just come to the grain store, and before he had taken a sip of tea, he heard the reply of his servant.

As soon as he heard Wang Qifang say in public that tens of thousands of stones of grain had been raised, Li Lizhong stood up in shock and asked excitedly: "Tens of thousands of stones of grain, is that really what Mrs. said?" ”

"That's right, I heard that Mrs. Wang bought the island of Third Young Master Shi with a lot of money, and specially came to the Qingzhou Mansion to record the file," the young man wiped the sweat from his forehead, licked his chapped lips, and continued, "It just so happened that the people of the Qian family had a relationship in the mansion, so Mrs. Wang asked Second Young Master Qian to help with it." After the lady finished doing the work, the steward sent by the Qian family inadvertently asked the lady, and the lady replied like this. ”

“…… No, it's impossible," Li Lizhong came to his senses again after a short period of surprise, his brows slowly furrowed, and he shook his head and said, "With the grain output of Qidi, it is impossible to have so much surplus grain...... Could it be that Mrs. Wang is deliberately cheating? ”

It's not that Li Lizhong doesn't believe in his owner's niece, it's really an objective fact here, what Wang Qifang said is analyzed according to common sense, it's simply impossible.

"Well, I don't know, but Mrs. Wang said that the grain will arrive in Qingzhou in the next two days, and let the Qian family clean the granary and prepare for the grain."

Seeing that the shopkeeper's head shook like a rattle, the young man began to question Wang Qifang's words in his heart, he thought about it and said in a whisper.

"The Qian family? Why, the Qian family also joined the war? ”

How did he not know?

Or is this a new arrangement for the owner?

No, he has to write a letter to the owner immediately, explain the affairs of Qingzhou, and listen to it by the way.

Thinking of this, Li Lizhong waved his hand, and after sending the young man out, he sat in the room and thought for a long time before he wrote a letter to Uncle Li Chang.

It can be said that what Wang Qifang said on the street, not only the opponent did not believe it, but even his own people were not very sure.

Li Jingniang didn't understand.

Back on the carriage, after the carriage was running smoothly, she quietly leaned into Wang Qifang's ear and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, this joke is too big, if this word is spread by the people of Qingzhou, and you can't bring food in two days, what should I do?" ”

Especially at the moment when the Zheng and Li families are fighting so fiercely, if you don't say a word properly, you may get into great trouble.

"Hehe, don't worry, I said that there is food, and naturally there is food," Wang Qifang looked calm, with a soft smile on her face, she said lightly, "Besides, I said tens of thousands of stones of grain, but I didn't say that I would transport all the grain." I can get some of it first...... We collected so much grain before, even if we remove the sundries inside, we can make up 2,000 stones, and we can transport it first to help the third uncle resist for a while. ”

"This, this is also a way," Li Jingniang listened to Wang Qifang's words, knowing that she had no way to do it, but since the words were released, she had to do enough to act, she lowered her head and thought about it, and said, "Well, I think it's okay, cousin, let's use those old grains to offset it first, I also ordered the shopkeepers of the Deyuan to look for grain everywhere, it is estimated that they will collect grain from other places in a few days, and at that time, we can still help the third master last for a while." As long as the price of grain in Qidi is stabilized, Master Li San's gamble will not be lost too badly. ”

"Jing Niang......" Wang Qifang listened to Li Jingniang's words, and said that it was fake if she was not moved, she held Li Jingniang's hand tightly and said, "I won't say much about thanks, if you need your sister's help in the future, even if you open your mouth, your sister will never refuse." ”

"Hehe, what else do my sisters say thank you."

Li Jingniang saw that Wang Qifang said sincerely, and her heart was also moved, the feelings in the world are like this, there is a relationship when there is a coming, and there is a return for paying.

In the midst of small talk, the carriage had already driven out of the county seat, through the cracked fields, and finally came to the seaside.

On board, Wang Qifang ordered Ah Da and the two helmsmen to hoist the sails, and she wanted to go to her own island to see it herself.

The treasure ship traveled for two hours, and near the end of the afternoon, the group finally arrived on the island.

"Huh, this place is quite big," got off the boat and came to land, Li Jingniang stood on the beach, looked around, only to see a lush forest in the distance, and then looked closely, there was a small hill among the trees.

"Well, Third Young Master Shi has sent someone to take care of it, although no one has lived in it, but the houses, fields and wells on the island are all available," Wang Qifang saw his island with his own eyes, and a sense of indescribable satisfaction suddenly surged in his heart, "By the way, Ah Da, does this island have a name?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, the third young master named this island Peach Blossom Island"

Ah Da mentioned the former owner, and a touch of sadness and nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

"Peach Blossom Island?"

Wang Qifang paused, and spoke in her heart, hey, this colleague is still a Jin Yong fan? Does he still want to be Shi Lao evil here and give birth to a daughter named Shi Rong?

"Madam, in front of you is the house built by the third young master"

Ah Da didn't know what Wang Qifang was thinking at the moment, he walked in front to lead the way, and when he saw the brand-new courtyard, he hurriedly reminded.

"Let's go, let's go in and see"

Wang Qifang came back to her senses, took Li Jingniang's hand, and the two sisters walked into the vermilion lacquer gate hand in hand.

"Madame, ma'am, come on, this, this first thing is full of things."

Wujin and a few children in new gray cloth clothes ran all the way in from the island, and when they looked around curiously, they inadvertently pushed open the door of a certain side room, and were surprised to find that the room was actually full of sacks.

"This, this is?"

Wang Qifang came to the front of the sack mountain, glanced at Li Jingniang in surprise, and saw her surprised eyes from the other party's eyes.

The five catties on the side found a branch from nowhere, and stabbed it into the sack, and suddenly, the white rice flowed out like water......
