Gomai hurriedly finished his inspection and investigation in the Danyu Plain, and hurried back to the Zhizhi government residence with Lin Gengsen.

The two closed the door to their office and ordered the guards to wait outside, so that no visitors were to be seen.

Lin Gengsen saw that Gomer was in a hurry, and he was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with you today?" In a hurry, a little bit unlike you. ”

Gomer glanced at Lin Gengsen, took out the king's handwritten edict sent by the herald from his arms, and handed it over: "Look at this handwritten message, I don't understand what is written on it. ”

Lin Gengsen opened his hand and browsed carefully, and his brows quickly furrowed: "Pull out the ears of wheat and cultivate the blood essence grass... Isn't this nonsense?! In another month or two, this season's wheat will be ripe, the granary needs this batch of wheat to fill, and there are more than 6 million mouths to feed in Danyu City. ”

Gomez's expression was a little hateful, and his voice became heavier: "You're just in a hurry, can you read it first?!" ”

Lin Gengsen sighed, continued to look down, the more he looked at it, the more his brows wrinkled, and after reading it all, he slowly closed his hand, squinted and said: "I actually gave us more than half a year's worth of relief grain, and all of them are century-old wheat allocated from the strategic reserve warehouse..."

Gomez paced back and forth, deep in thought: "I don't quite understand, what is the king doing?" Blood Essence Grass... The whole kingdom has never heard of any industry that needs blood essence grass, at most, some nobles who like new things will buy it as a tonic stew. ”

"But now, the king has asked us to uproot all the ears of wheat in the Danyu Plain, plant blood essence grass instead, and even directly open the strategic reserve granary to bring us so much relief grain... What does this mean exactly? It's so sudden. ”

"Will it be the structural transformation of the economy?" Lin Gengsen proposed a possibility, and analyzed, "The Blood Essence Grass has no value in Doguland, but it is a necessary thing for the cultivation of Far Eastern martial artists. Perhaps the king wants to deepen the export trade and intends to make the transformation of the Danyu Plain from this year. ”

Gomex quickly shook his head: "It shouldn't be... Since the founding of the ancient kings 513 years ago, the Danyu Plain has been the most important grain-producing area in Doguland, and its status is unshakable and irreplaceable. ”

"Taking a step back, even if there is really an economic transformation, it should wait until the harvest period of this batch of wheat ears has passed, there is no reason to be so anxious to pull out the fast-ripening ears of wheat, which is too costly."

Lin Gengsen sneered, and said in a mocking tone: "If you want me to say, this king really doesn't understand the situation. The farmland in the Danyu Plain has long been contracted to hundreds of nobles, and the property rights are in the people's homes, and it is not up to a few of our officials to decide what to plant or not. This edict should be given to the nobles to see if they agree. ”

"You really don't care, look at this!" Gomer snatched the king's edict, crossed it out on the last line, and read it out, "Limited to 6,270 tons of blood essence grass to be handed over before the flower language season next year, and overdue will be punished." ”

Gome looked at this line of words, and sighed a little abruptly: "If you overdue, you will be punished... The king also knew that those lands belonged to the nobility, but he was actually putting pressure on us to push the executive decree when he wrote it now. If we can't pay the difference by then, you and I will not be able to protect our heads. ”

Lin Gengsen shook his hand and said coldly: "How can this matter be so easy? Although the edict said that the royal family would buy the Blood Essence Grass at a high premium, those wheats in the Danyu Plain..."

When Lin Gengsen said this, he paused for some reason, and said impatiently: "You don't know about those wheat things... The small profit given by the royal family is not even a sesame seed, how can it be possible to make those nobles give in? ”

Gomez's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "That's right, but you and I have to deal with each other anyway." I can't pay the difference, I'm afraid that the 'one' above can't keep us." ”

Lin Gengsen sighed and sat down: "I really don't understand, such a ridiculous proposal, 'that' just watched it pass the vote?" In spite of? ”

"And Lan Xian's birdman, who is not good to promote, promote this ghost thing to be a grain officer, I am almost angry with him today."

"Okay, let's stop talking about these complaints, and be careful that the wall has ears." Gomex glanced at the closed door.

He said to be careful, but in fact, he didn't have any worries in his heart, the walls of the office were made of soundproof wood, not to mention human ears, even if he put an owl outside, he couldn't hear the movement inside.

He sighed, frowned, and said helplessly: "Now the king is making such a bad job, making us not human inside and out, it is really difficult." ”

Lin Gengsen pondered, for some reason, a smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said in a mocking tone: "Lao Mai, you used to always boast of being smart, thinking that I was stupider than you. But in my opinion, at least in this matter, you are not any smarter than me. ”

Gomez was puzzled: "What do you mean?" Have you thought of a good solution? ”

Lin Gengsen smiled briefly, took the king's edict and spread it out on the table: "I said, why can't you get out of a dead end?" ”

"Whether we can hand over the difference, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than to see if we can hand over 6,270 tons of blood essence grass on time. If you think about it again, the Blood Essence Grass can only be grown by yourself, and there is no other way to obtain it? ”

After a short silence, Gome quickly reacted: "You mean, instead of uprooting the ears of wheat in the Danyu Plain, we secretly went to buy enough blood essence grass, pretending that we planted it, and sent it to pay for it?" ”

"That's what it means." Lin Gengsen shrugged his shoulders, "Although I don't know what I want the Blood Essence Grass to do, but the Blood Essence Grass is the Blood Essence Grass, what is the difference between planting and buying?" Since the edict says that the overdue will be punished, let's buy the blood essence grass back as soon as possible, don't you just overdue? ”

Gomez hesitated: "This..."

Lin Gengsen urged: "What is this? The hundreds of nobles were busy for months, seeds, fertilizers, labor costs... So many monthly coins are invested in it, and it looks like a bumper harvest is about to begin, and you go to pull out the ears of wheat at this point in time, do you believe that they ate you raw? ”

"When the time comes, you will have a business with the above, how can you make a business with the nobles? The forces behind them are intricate, and if you are jointly impeached because of this matter, will you still be able to sit firmly in the position of consul? ”

Obviously, Gomai also had concerns about this, and he was in a dilemma for a while, his eyes wandered from side to side, and finally fell on Lin Gengsen's face, and said in a low voice: "Blood Essence Grass is the Heavenly Treasure of the Far Eastern Imperial Dynasty, do you have a channel to buy it?" ”

Lin Gengsen smiled mysteriously and said quite confidently: "Don't underestimate my connections. I know a big businessman with whom I have drunk several times before, and who is not very good, but he can sell you whatever you want to buy. ”

"Who is this giant businessman?" Gomex asked.

Lin Gengsen dipped his finger in some tea and wrote a name on the table-

Bao.
