Chapter 213: Putting Grain

Lin Yuan didn't say anything when he saw the two of them looking at each other, just glanced at each other casually, and a servant stepped forward and silently invited Lin Laosan out.

The Qu master, who had a small deal with the Lin family, bowed his hand to Lin Yuan with a bitter face: "Master Lin, my brother shouldn't have come to the door with a cheeky face, but you also know the current situation, our brothers and sisters really can't get rice after the food stamps released at a high price, please reach out and save it." ”

It was very common for them to make a fortune due to disasters, and when it rained heavily for several days, the two of them saw the business opportunity here, and bought a batch of grain to sell at a high price. He also cooperated with other merchants to raise grain prices and made a lot of money.

But the bad is bad in people's desires are difficult to fill, when the day into the money, they came up with the way to redeem the grain stamps and pre-sell them to the guests, with the grain stamps to buy grain not only to prevent the price of grain from rising again in the later period, but also the cost can be relatively lower than the cash payment.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and the business that thought it would be a sure profit was stirred into a pot of porridge by the imperial court's repeated levies of silver and intensified dripping water into ice. The snow did not stop, and the Quhou family, who had no silver and could not transport food, soon became debt-ridden street rats.

Therefore, they thought of the Lin family, the Lin family who sold grain at a low price from beginning to end.

"The two masters are polite, how can Lin have that ability, he can barely support Lin Ji and make ends meet. Haven't you eaten yet? Come, let's talk while eating. Lin Yuan smiled casually.

Qu Hou and the others felt that their hearts were half cold when they heard this polite words, how could they think of the Lin family, who was one head lower than them in the past? But people are clearly unwilling to wade into this troubled water, or sit on the ground and ask them to shed their skin.

"Brother Lin, Prime Minister can hold the boat in his belly, so don't joke with us, where can the two of us eat at this moment? If we had a place where we could not live with you in the past, we are here to make amends for your sins. I just ask you to have a lot of them, and give your brother a straight way. "The entire imperial court is helpless, and they can only count on the Lin family's life-saving straw. Otherwise, who else are they counting on to go?

They were willing to starve, Lin Yuan naturally couldn't care about it, Shi Shiran raised his feet and sat down at the dining table, and seven or eight servants waited for the meal.

Three or four good-looking dishes were laid out early, and the two of them stood aside and silently watched Lin Yuan wipe his hands with a cloth towel and rinse his mouth with tea, and suddenly became nervous, I was afraid that it would be easy for the person in front of him to swallow the two of them in one gulp.

The magnificent halls, the luxurious ornaments, the silent but elegant and good-looking servants, I hope it is not to break their last self-esteem.

No matter how the two of them twisted and twisted their hearts, Lin Yuan only moved his eyebrows, and raised his spoon to scoop up the thin-skinned small wontons in the sea bowl in front of him.

Breakfast is not extravagant, just a bowl of spicy soup with thin-crust wontons and a crispy fried ghost is enjoyable. Lin Yuan has a bigger appetite, in addition to this, he has to add a brown and salty meat bun to be considered full, and finally drink a few sips of soy milk, and say that he is comfortable, it is the day.

Unhurriedly ate a table of breakfast, Lin Yuan wiped his mouth and ordered softly: "Withdraw." ”

The two people who swallowed saliva twice on the side hurriedly took two steps forward, ready to pour out the abdominal manuscript in their stomachs: "Brother Lin......"

Lin Yuan smiled: "Needless to say, the two masters will open another rice grain shop tomorrow, and anyone who holds two food stamps can enter the store to receive food, and there is no need to give any more money." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qu Hou and the others were shocked, and stumbled: "What are the conditions for Brother Lin?" ”

"Hehe" Lin Yuan laughed twice: "The conditions can't be discussed, it's just a reluctant invitation." ”

Qu Hou and the others didn't open their mouths, they knew too well that the businessman's style of being unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early, not to mention that the two of them didn't have a price to get their hands on at all.

Lin Yuan's face was calm, and he continued: "In a few days, I will go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in person." At that time, Lin Ji and my family, if there is a difficulty, they will have to worry about the two of them, and they will take care of one or two. ”

Qu Hou and the others were shocked, what kind of reluctant invitation is this? Not to mention the forces in the shadows of the Lin family's connections, even when they really need the two of them to take care of it, with the kindness of saving the two families from fire and water, it is not too much to let them roll in the sea of swords.

At that moment, the two of them were impressed by Lin Yuan's bearing, only to feel that they were worse than the Lin Da family from this peasant family, and said worriedly: "Brother Lin, it's not easy to walk outside, the disaster relief vehicles and ships of the imperial court can't cross a hundred miles, if you have a case, your family is ...... for the old and weak, women and children."

Lin Yuan picked up the teacup and took a sip before he said casually: "Who can take my Lin Yuan's life?" The two of you just have to take care of one or two at ease, and when I come back at the end of the month, I will personally come to the door to thank you. ”

Lin Yuan didn't know the plight of the two of them, but it was difficult to support them alone, and what a rich family like the Lin family with no foundation needed was to report to the group for heating instead of being a monopoly, which was coveted.

What's more, how could the Quhou family, who are still standing under the change of dynasties, be incompetent rats? However, a few truckloads of grain, it is best to surrender without a fight, no, the kindness on the surface can also make the two families have scruples, and they will not find a gap to stab the Lin family.

The businessman is heavy on profit but also knows benevolence and righteousness, Lin Yuan chose to pull them at this moment when he should have fallen into the ground, and the two of them were not wolf-hearted, and they bowed to Lin Yuan at the moment: "Brother Lin has helped me with great kindness, and the two of us have nothing to repay, from today onwards, the two of them are willing to be driven by the Lin family to go to the soup and go to the fire, and never give up." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly helped the two of them up, only said something serious, and personally sent the two out to show his sincerity.

Early in the morning of the second day, many people were blocked at the entrance of Lin Ji, which was newly opened in the capital, and they all got the news and took food stamps to exchange for food.

At the same time, the Lin family sent people to give clothes and porridge in the neighborhoods where several poor people gathered in the capital, and Lin Jiren was well-known in the capital.

Even the occasional thief who robbed the rich and helped the poor, he also stayed away when he saw the door of the Lin family.

On the evening of that day, Lin Yuan, who was quickly playing the abacus beads, told Wen Wan that he was going to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in a few days, and Wen Wan, who was sewing the cloak for him in the light, only silently bit off the thread and did not speak.

One is a husband and the other is a son, and she can't let go of either: "I'll go with you, is it feasible?" ”

Lin Yuan, who was facing away from her, shook his head seriously, how could he be willing to let his mother-in-law taste the bitterness of transporting grain in the ice and snow?

What's more, there was always a fight and killing on that long and distant road, and no one could guarantee her safety, not even himself.

Wen Wan was deflated, lying on her side in the bed, she didn't speak all night, and the green silk on the top of her head was also several white. And the man who slept beside her just hugged her in his arms, talking bit by bit about their memories, their time.

"It's extra cold in the morning, and you can't hinder your movement if you wear this cloak honestly, I look very energetic." Wen Wan, who had not slept all night, draped the sewn black-haired cloak over his shoulders, and her eyes were full of unease.

Her man is going to be busy outside alone again, and she doesn't know when this world will get better.
