Rong House.

"Elder Rong, didn't you say that the relief grain from the imperial court couldn't be delivered? What can I do now?! ”

"Elder Rong, I still have tens of thousands of stone grains, and if I can't sell it now, I'll be smashed in my hands!"

"Yes, Rong Lao! You can figure it out! ”

The grain merchants, you say a word to me, so that the old Rong who is over sixty years old has a headache when he hears it.

"What are you arguing about! Aren't I like you, with a lot of food in my hands?! ”

The crutches in Veteran Rong's hand slammed into the ground.

The grain merchants saw that Rong Lao seemed to be angry, and they didn't dare to complain anymore, after all, Rong Lao was old, if he was in a hurry to come out, then Rong Gongzi, who worked in the Zhenguo Mansion, would not come to them to settle accounts?

"Then Elder Rong, what do you think we should do now?"

A grain merchant asked in a whisper.

Rong Lao didn't say a word with a dark face, but another person whispered: "Do you want to go to Lord Feng anymore to think of a way?" ”

Hearing this, Rong Lao's already calm face was even worse, did he have to lower his voice and beg Feng Weiji?

"Last time, Lord Feng came to me privately and said that he could collect some grain at a high price in the name of the government."

A grain merchant said with a frown.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Really? What does Lord Feng want so much food for? ”

"Could it be that it was collected for those disaster victims?"

"How could he be so kind? I think I want to take the opportunity to buy grain to get rid of the money in the gongzhong. ”

"Either way, I think as long as we can eat the food in our hands."

Hearing that these grain merchants changed their attitudes so quickly and leaned towards Feng Weiji, Rong Lao was angry.

"How much silver is in the government? How much silver can he Feng Weiji mobilize? If you want to beg him, you might as well go find that Chincha-sama! ”

Rong Lao didn't know whether he was angry with Feng Weiji, or whether he was sarcastic about these grain merchants, so he said with a sneer.

Those grain merchants finally realized that this old man was not in the right mood, and someone changed his tone and said: "Old Rong doesn't have to be angry, let's just say this, who knows if the food is enough for the victims in this city?" Let's not be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. ”

Someone takes the lead, and someone agrees.

"Yes, even if there are enough victims in this city, and there are still a few nearby cities, we can always sell food."

"Yes, yes, let's go to other cities."

Having said that, in fact, every grain merchant has his own abacus in his heart. Seeing that there was no solution in the Rong Mansion, they left early one by one.

was in a hurry, and he really went directly to Su Qingyu, saying that he could sell more grain to the government cheaply, and as for Su Qingyu's dividends, it was naturally indispensable.

In this regard, Su Qingyu naturally smiled and responded, as for the dividends, in order not to make the grain merchant suspicious, he had to play the role of a corrupt official.

And some people paced back and forth in the mansion for an hour or two, and when they heard that someone had contacted Su Qingyu, they couldn't sit still anymore, prepared a lot of gifts, and went to Feng's mansion.

"Lord Feng, this matter is settled, and at night, I will have 10,000 stone of grain transported to the place you designated."

After that, the grain merchant hurriedly went to prepare the grain, as if he was afraid that Feng Weiji would regret it.

After Feng Wei left in the grain merchant, he came to the study, and at this time, there were already several people waiting for him in the study.

These people are the honest men who were among the victims before, and those who led the trouble.

Seeing Feng Wei coming in, several people said in unison: "My subordinates have seen Lord Feng!" ”

"Well, your mission this time is considered a failure."

Feng Weiji said lukewarmly.

Hearing this, those people hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Please also ask Lord Feng to give his subordinates another chance!" ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the manpower is not as good as before, according to the rules, you would always have to be punished." Feng Weiji snorted coldly.

When those people heard this, they didn't look relaxed in the slightest, but said even more nervously: "Lord Feng, don't worry, there will be no next failure!" Otherwise, the subordinates will apologize with death! ”

To be able to get these people to make a military order, it is obvious that the way of punishment seems to be more unacceptable than death.

Feng Weiji was noncommittal, but just ordered: "You will transport the grain raised by this official to Yongzhou overnight tonight." Make no mistake! ”

Yongzhou is a border city on the border between Chu and Khitan.

When those people heard this, they didn't have the slightest incomprehension, and they responded: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

With that, those people got up and left the Feng Mansion.

And Feng Weiji did not explain where he was going to get grain, nor did he give them the money to buy grain.

Feng Weiji knew that they would take care of everything.

As for Feng Weiji himself, he felt that it was time to visit Su Qingyu tomorrow.

Since this Lord Qincha arrived in Gannan Province, he has been calling himself sick, and everything is done by Master Lin to assist Su Qingyu.

originally thought that he was just a useless man who only relied on the prestige of his family to make a living, but he didn't expect that he really had some ability and was doing practical things.

At this time, if he continues to call himself sick, this Su Qingyu is afraid that he will have to join him. He cannot lose his position until something is done.

The next day, the capital, Beichen Palace.

Nie Yan was lying on the couch reading a book, but she heard a hearty laugh from outside the hall.

"Haha, Concubine Shu, your plan has really come true!"

Xiao Yu received an urgent report from Su Qingyu early in the morning, and as soon as he arrived, he couldn't wait to come to Beichen Palace to share the good news with Nie Yan.

When Nie Yan heard this, her heart was also relieved, presumably the people of Gannan Province could be better.

"What reward do you want?" Xiao Yu was obviously very happy, and even asked Nie Yandao directly.

Nie Yan knew that she couldn't mention the Nie family's affairs yet, so she had to say: "The concubine now has His Majesty by her side, so she has nothing else to ask for." ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, his heart was slightly relieved, and he hugged Nie Yan's waist with satisfaction, and said, "After all, there is a great merit, since you don't mention it, then it will be up to me to decide." ”

Nie Yan hadn't come back to her senses, but she heard Xiao Yu's voice tell Xu Lin, who was guarding the palace gate, "Spread the order!" Beichen Palace Lady, smart and soft, talented and virtuous crown in the Sixth Palace, won my heart, and was specially promoted as a concubine! ”

As soon as Xiao Yu's words fell, Xu Lin obeyed the order and left, leaving Nie Yan without even leaving time to refuse.

Seeing that Nie Yan didn't seem to be surprised, Xiao Yu asked, "Are you unhappy?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine is still young, I'm afraid she can't be a concubine."

Nie Yan couldn't care about Xiao Yu's emotions, so she refused.

Now there are not many people above the concubine position in the palace, above the four concubines, except for the queen, all of them have come out, and Nie Yan herself has not given birth to a prince, being a concubine has made people jealous, but it will not let her set up a strong enemy.

If she is promoted to Concubine again, I am afraid that Concubine Jiang and Queen Xu will have to be afraid of her.

After all, if you have no children, you are a concubine, if you give birth to a prince in the future, can you be an imperial concubine? Or maybe it's the queen?!
