Jiang Yuan sent people to go around the grain merchants, and the reply they got was that this year was a drought year, and the landlords had no surplus grain, so they could not take out so much grain as seeds to provide to the peasant households. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jiang Yuan didn't arrive at the accident, if those grain merchants rushed to offer food one by one, it would be abnormal.

waved his hand to show that he knew, and then, after changing into a regular suit, he went out alone.

He knew that these people were going to wait for him to come to the door in person, and what was the matter with sending a small soldier over?

First of all, I came to Hu Yuanwai's house, with high walls and red doors, and the rain hitting the green glazed tiles, making a clanging sound, showing his wealthy side.

Shaking his head, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened with great difficulty, and a head poked out, and asked who it was in a daze.

Jiang Yuan smiled, with an embarrassed face, and was just about to introduce himself, when the man raised his eyes and saw that it was Lord Zhizhou, he hurriedly opened the door, hugged his fists and bowed, and invited Jiang Yuan in.

Ordinary people come to the door to go through the concierge to report, the Lord Zhizhou came to the door, it was the master who explained the good, as long as he came, he didn't need to report, and he was directly led to the back hall.

A Zhizhou went to the home of the outsider, and the outsider didn't come to greet him in person, even if he had a cup of tea, it was so slow.

In the living room, Jiang Yuan did it alone for a long time, but he didn't see the main owner appear, and the people brought a bowl of tea in a hurry, or herbal tea, and said that it had rained in the past two days, and the people in the house were very busy, and the hot water didn't have time to boil.

Jiang Yuan smiled and didn't get angry, waved his hand and let his subordinates go down.

This trip is destined to come in vain, and people are hiding and refusing to see them because they are thinking of countermeasures, and they are also ringing the alarm bell for themselves.

The officialdom of Yizhou is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface.

Liu Jingzi, the magistrate, has great ambitions, and secretly raised a group of thugs, stretched out their hands very long, and had the idea of replacing them.

There are also people above who fully support it, if Jiang Yuan, the governor of the state, hadn't been still in charge of the Huaiyang Army, I'm afraid he would have been taken captive a long time ago, and now that he is in office, he is actually an empty shelf.

Even so, Liu Jingzi still did not give up, and tried every means to oust him from power and take the military and political power of Yizhou in his arms.

This is actually an opportunity, Jiang Yuan understands, and Liu Jingzi understands even more that as long as the grain merchants in the city are controlled and the people are not given food as seeds, then even if Liu Jingzi does not make a move, the people will drive him down.

When the time comes, he will mediate in the capital, and the position of this governor will be his.

Hu Yuanwai was late, and he asked Jiang Yuan for peace with sleepy eyes, saying that he had been overworked recently and couldn't get out of bed, so he was late, and he hoped that Lord Zhizhou would atone for his sins.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, didn't care about these things, and looked like as long as you could give food, you could be the governor.

Hu Yuan was sitting on the lower hand, there was no one on the main seat, and he didn't have the courage to sit on it.

Although Jiang Yuan's power was weakened, the Huaiyang army was still in his hands, if he was forced to rush and the army entered the city, when there was no grass, Hu Yuanwai could not afford this crime.

"How much grain can you come up with?"

Jiang Yuan got straight to the point, and he didn't want to go around the bend.

"How many holes are there now?"

Hu Yuanwai did not refuse positively, seeing the wind and making the rudder is the characteristic of these people, he is probing Jiang Yuan's tone, to see how other rich businessmen deal with it, if others come out, he will not insist.

"The old man was the first to come to your house, don't look at the eyes of people, just talk about this matter, how much effort you can make.

You know, so many people in Yizhou are waiting for rescue, they are our food and clothing, and your decision directly affects whether the Yizhou parents can spend the next year safely and worry-free.

As a member of Yizhou, should you bear the brunt of the statement and seek benefits for your father?"

Jiang Yuan's words are very clear, you are the people of Yizhou who support you, if something happens to the people of Yizhou, you will not end well.

Although that doesn't mean that, that's what it means.

Hu Yuanwai's face was sweating, just a few grains of grain, it seemed that this Lord Zhizhou had really come.

If you rashly refuse, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat, if you agree, Liu Jingzi will definitely not let go of himself, the two immortals fight, and it hurts the people.

Hu Yuanwai's nature is not bad, he has long been looking forward to this rain, and then he will take out the grain, lend it to the farmers, and then wait for the autumn harvest to collect some interest from the farmers, even if it is compensation.

This transaction was a sure success, but as soon as the rain fell, Liu Jingzi sent someone to his mansion and seriously warned him not to give Jiang Yuan a drop of grain.

said that it would not be given to Jiang Yuan, but it would not be given to the people soon?

These businessmen still know the truth of the cold lips and teeth, but he can't do anything about the pressure from above.

"My lord, you know, in this drought year, the rich merchants are hoarding grain, and the grain in the warehouse has been bought by those rich households, and the rest is just enough for our family to eat until the next year.

There are so many people in the family that they really can't divide the extra food. ”

After speaking, the sweat on his head was pouring out, and no matter how he wiped it, new sweat kept coming out.

"Well, I'm not going to embarrass you, that's the end of it, but remember, you've missed a great opportunity to make a name for yourself. ”

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he left calmly.

Hu Yuanwai sighed, flicked his sleeves, and entered the back hall.

He didn't know that this was an opportunity, even if he didn't want the farmers to give more grain in the end, the farmers would not treat a good person like him badly, and they would definitely compensate him twice.

Earned fame and money, why not?

What he has now is money, and money is just a pair of numbers to him, and the only thing he lacks is fame.

The opportunity given by God was to let his Hu family flourish, but Liu Jingzi killed him horizontally and broke his thoughts.

While thinking about it, Liu Jingziran appeared in front of him, startling him.

After seeing the person clearly, he trotted all the way over, stood in front of Liu Jingzi, and said breathlessly: "I did what you wanted, is it time for the renovation project of the Zhizhou Mansion to fall on my head after this matter is over?"

This is a businessman, interests and fame always have to be left behind, if you don't even make money, then you are not a qualified businessman.

"You can rest assured, as long as you succeed in bringing him down, your benefits will be indispensable. ”

After saying that, he won't be able to leave.

Hu Yuanwai stood in place, smirking and watching Liu Jingzi leave.

Jiang Yuan walked a few more wealthy merchants and grain merchants, and sure enough, they were all a rhetoric, kicking the ball back and forth with each other, anyway, it was a tune, asking for food, no, there was a fate.

Although it is not a penny, as long as these grain merchants and rich families unite their hearts and form a group, they will definitely overcome the natural disaster and get through this difficulty.

It's a pity that someone is manipulating him behind his back, making the people suffer with him.

They are making fun of the people and forcing themselves to step down.

What a ruthless method!

This time, I am afraid that he has no way to retreat, even if he is lazy in the position of Zhizhou and does not leave, the people may not agree.

Alas, thief, open your eyes and see what kind of world this has become.

The rain is slowly getting smaller, find this speed, tomorrow this time, the rain will probably stop, when the time comes, when the people and themselves ask for seeds, how should he reply?

Could it be that others have to deal with themselves and hide the grain?

This is not a reason at all, the farmers will only think that you have no ability as a Zhizhou, if at this time, Liu Jingzi ascended to the top and shouted, even if he really did it.

"Yes, these thieves are always helping people with bad water in their hearts, and they have forced people to have no food to eat, I think this thief must be an impostor, otherwise he would not have seen the suffering of the people in the lower world. ”

At this moment, a slightly immature voice sounded.

Jiang Yuan turned around and saw a young man in a green shirt, standing in the rain, and behind him there was a kid who was the same age as him, holding an umbrella for him, while he was standing in the rain, like a giant god, standing still.

"Are you talking to me?"

Jiang Yuan was a little unsure.

"Are there any other people around you?"

The young man spread his hands and said.

"Little boy, your tone is not small, do you really think that all this is the sin of the thief?"

Jiang Yuan was testing him, just to see his opinion on this matter, if he was a bragging kid, it was better to send him away as soon as possible.

"It's raining outside, and there's a tea house in front of you, just on the side of the road, how about a drink together?"

The young man did not answer him, but made an invitation to him.

Jiang Yuan thought about it and took the lead in raising his feet and walking over.

This young man is Wu Xi, the spies have investigated the origin of the matter very clearly, Wu Xi felt that this was an opportunity, so he came in the rain and prepared to make a deal with this Zhizhou adult.

What he lacks now is people, and what Jiang Yuan lacks is food, just to make use of it, that Meng Hong is a straw bag, or a cautious eye, under the leadership of the Huaiyang Army, there will definitely be no good results, it is better to hand it over to him and do a good job.

After sitting down, the guy served a big bowl of tea, Wu Xi tasted it, it was not ordinary unpleasant, salt was put in the tea, in order to get rid of the peculiar smell, I didn't expect that even the tea smell was removed, and it tasted no different from salt water.

"Who are you, what's the matter with the old man?"

Jiang Yuan couldn't hold his breath at first, he was very irritable now, his mind was all about food, and he didn't have any interest in other things.

"Xu Churen is a friend of the kid, and he introduced me here. ”

"Are you Wu Xi?"

"The news is really fast, it seems that if a person wants to become famous, he has to stay at home, marry a stupid woman and give birth to a child. ”

There was a smile on Jiang Yuan's face, and Xu Churen unabashedly expressed his appreciation for this young man in the letter he gave him, and told him that after he arrived in Yizhou, he must have a good chat with this young man.

I've been doing a lot lately, and I've forgotten about it.

I remember that I asked Meng Hong to visit, Meng Hong has been suppressing bandits in the mountains for the past few days, and he has not come back, so this matter has been put on hold.

"Do you have a way to get food?"
