"Go to the Huo family's grain store." Cheng Jinzhou walked out of the room, arranging his sleeves while facing the waiter.

"But you want to buy food?" Shi Yan turned around and closed the door.

"Well, 2oo stone of grain." Cheng Jinzhou continued to flick his sleeves.

Shi Yan sighed lightly, looked at Shi Mo next to him, and said with a smile: "Third brother, I'm afraid I can't buy 2oo stone grain today, it's already afternoon, and the Huo family can't store too much food in one place, plus the time to report to the yamen......"

Even if the yamen is opened by the Cheng family, it will take time to go through the process.

"It's been so long." Cheng Jinzhou muttered to himself. He had the feeling of being in a casino, eager to show his cards, even if it would cost him a lot of money.

Shi Yan looked at Cheng Jinzhou's face and said in a low voice: "Third brother, with so much food, it is actually more cost-effective to take it from your own granary." ”

"The granary of the Gongzhong?" Cheng Jinzhou didn't want to get involved in his family before, so he bought grain from an outside grain store.

As Cheng Jinzhou's scholar, Shi Yan completely thought about Cheng Jinzhou in this different world: "No matter how expensive the food at home is, it is always your own, and my wife also agreed to give you monthly rations, and it is justified to buy grain from the granary at home, and the quantity can be more." ”

The last sentence is the finishing touch. The Cheng family is a real big family, in terms of numbers, it may be larger than the large companies in later generations, and the breeding of ** is completely proportional to the number of people.

Cheng Jinzhou understood at once, laughed, slapped Shi Yan vigorously, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." ”

When it comes to bribery, he naturally has to keep himself clean, and he doesn't have the awkwardness of stealing money from his own house at all.

Shi Yan was only 16 years old, and he suddenly got the heavy responsibility of 4o taels of silver, which was quite hesitant. When he gave his opinion, he didn't think it that thoroughly.

Cheng Jinzhou counted out 5 golden melon seeds, and said with a completely age-free shrewdness: "The accounts are clear, and there will be a reward when you come back." ”

5 golden melon seeds are 2 taels of gold, almost 4o taels of silver, since there is a bribe, the final price is naturally lower, but no matter whether the remaining money is more or less than the money that should be rewarded, the account should be reported, otherwise Cheng Jinzhou has not paid a bribe, and his subordinates will be messed up first.

Shi Yan carefully took the golden melon seeds into his arms, bent over, and retreated from the small door, only feeling heavy in his heart.

Cheng Jinzhou was immersed in the strong purchasing power of gold, the national currency of the Great Xia Dynasty was still copper coins, and silver was also an important means of circulation, but gold was more like a good reserve currency. A handful of yellow-orange-orange golden melon seeds, whether it is the meaning it represents, or the shape and color of itself, are extremely eye-catching.

Out of the east gate of Shaonan City, it is where the granary of the Cheng family is located, which is located in Hongrizhuang.

In addition to the granary of the Cheng family, the Yicang of Shaonan Prefecture - that is, the government's allocation and reserve of grain is also located here, and a battalion of soldiers is stationed not far away, guarding one-third of the stock of the state army.

The southeast is the food lifeline of the Great Xia Dynasty, and there are 20,000 mu of grain fields in a state capital in Shaonan, which is more than the number of many prefecture-level cities in the 21st century, which is quite a huge number compared to the proportion of reclamation.

Although the yield per mu in this era was very low, and the overall amount of grain reserves in the granary was not as good as that of later generations, there were still a lot of grain hoarded around Hongrizhuang, and the Great Xia Dynasty completely regarded this place as a strategic grain reserve base to deal with.

Due to his special status, the steward of Hongrizhuang is not a servant, but Cheng Mai, the second-generation son of Cheng Jiaqing. Counting up, he is still Cheng Jinzhou's cousin, but his blood relationship is much thinner.

Shi Yan rode a donkey all the way, and when he arrived outside the village gate, he was still hesitating how to move, but he saw a disciple beckoning to him kindly.

Bribery is such a thing, Shi Yan has just heard the old people say it. For a while, his mouth was fast, and he spit it out, and now he firmly adhered to the key to seeing more and talking less, and walked over with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "You are invited, is there something?" ”

"Who is asking for food?" Menzi grinned, his attitude was not at all like the subordinates serving in the city, and he couldn't smell the slightest domineering smell.

"Qingzi branch three rooms, I am the third young master's scholar, called Shi Yan."

"Scholar, that's it, what's it called, the future is bright." Menzi smiled heartily, stretched out his two hands and said, "How much grain do you want?" ”

Shi Yan was a little strange why he stretched out his two hands and whispered, "I want 2oo stones." ”

"Oh, you have a lot of appetite." A few people who were still in the room suddenly came out, and a middle-aged man in a short coat in a green coat touched his smooth head, rubbed the scab on his neck, swayed out, looked at Shi Yan and said, "You didn't even bring a car, how can these 2oo stone grain be transported out?" ”

"The car ...... in the Zhuangzi" Shi Yan said half a sentence, and then knew that he was wrong, and then smiled and said: "This always has to be bought first." ”

The first doorman still straightened his hands, squeezed his eyes and said: "2oo stone grain, you have to report to the yamen on weekdays, you can transport it if you want us, and the price can be higher." ”

"Then it's up to you to put your left hand or your right hand." Menzi rubbed his fingers as he spoke, and several people behind him laughed tacitly.

How could Shi Yan not understand, he just didn't expect that the Ding Jia of Hongrizhuang were so arrogant that they almost didn't even cover it up. He didn't care so much, and said in an unfamiliar tone: "Which hand is cheaper?" ”

Menzi took his right hand back.

Shi Yan carefully took out a golden melon seed from his arms and put it on Menzi's left hand.

"5o stone." The bald head reported the number later, and the two of them seemed to be talking to each other.

The golden melon seeds commonly used by the Cheng family, these people in the outer village have rarely seen it, and someone took it in one bite, not caring about the sweat of the two of them, and bit it hard, and said: "It's so soft." ”

"Can it be softer than a little lotus?" The others immediately began to laugh.

Shi Yan was unmoved, his hand stopped on his chest, and said, "Give money for delivery." ”

"Follow me to pick up the goods." Seeing the real gold, the bald head also became serious.

The specifications of the granary in Hongrizhuang are different, the bald head picks up the big granary, casually directs the workers who are resting next to him, and loads the 5o stone grain into the car in three or two clicks, and the waiter Yan is a little relieved and takes out two golden melon seeds and says: "One or two 2 dollars of gold, take 2oo stone grain." ”

"4 grains." The bald head has seen the world, knows the weight of the golden melon seeds, and slowly stretches out 4 fingers.

4 grains are worth 32 taels of silver, which is already 2o% cheaper than the shop outside, of course, there are many poor quality, and the ones taken out of the warehouse will inevitably have some old grain, but Cheng Jinzhou doesn't care about it.

As soon as Shi Yan saw that there was a door, he suddenly became energetic, so he said that the bald head gave up 2 taels of silver, and finally loaded 2oo stone grain into the car.

3o taels of silver can save several second-class men a month, and it is unknown how much the bald head takes from it.

At this time, Shi Yan was soaked with sweat all over his body.
