Chapter 311: Lack of food

The old man is secretly operating in order to canonize the grandson.

The prince was busy with a pot of porridge, and various subsidies were thrown into Suzhou, for fear of starving to death the people of Suzhou.

As for Sun Tzu, he is in Suzhou, working hard for the infrastructure construction of Suzhou.

The three grandchildren can be said to have their own duties.

With the literati, Zhu Chen also has a lot of peace of mind, at least many decisions are not in charge of Zhu Chen, and these students will be arranged.

And this has made Zhu Chen's work a lot easier.

In his spare time, Zhu Chen also went to the Wuxian Dam several times to investigate, and after repeated confirmation, the ten achievements were artificial.

It was definitely done by King Han!

Causing such a big trouble to the imperial court, Zhu Chen also arranged for people to start searching for evidence of King Han, once the evidence was found, King Han would not be able to escape.

this day.

The appropriation of the imperial court came down.

The prince was afraid that the people of Suzhou would be hungry, so he specially allocated four million taels and told Zhu Chen to use the money to buy grain and give the people rice seeds.

Almost all the fertile fields in Suzhou were flooded, and the people had no rice seeds, so they could only rely on the imperial court to distribute them.

The prince is also benevolent, and he is not stingy with the subsidies of the people.

After the funds were allocated and transported to the Suzhou government, Zhu Chen planned to buy grain.

In the land south of the Yangtze River, the land of fish and rice, there is still a lot of grain in Suzhou, but most of it is in the hands of grain merchants.

Suzhou is the hometown of the Shen family, and it is also the place where the Shen family started.

Here, there is also the Shen family's business.

Therefore, the first place Zhu Chen went to was the Shen family rice shop.

It's just that after arriving there, Zhu Chen found that a large amount of rice was being transported out of the Shen family's rice shop.

Cart by cart was loaded and then pulled away.

Not only is this Shen family's rice shop like this, but even the other rice shops around are like this.

A large amount of rice was transported.

Zhu Chen was slightly surprised, frowned, and said, "What are these grain merchants doing?" ”

Behind him, Cuihua and Qiuxiang were shaking their heads.

With their brains with negative IQs, they can't think of such subtle questions.

However, they have other solutions.

Cuihua rolled up her sleeves, stepped forward, and directly pulled a junior who was transporting grain, and asked, "Ask, where are you transporting this grain?" ”

The little two were stunned, and they were also angry after being ripped off.

But when he saw Cuihua's strong muscles, his temper instantly disappeared, and there was a trace of fear on his face: "We don't know, we are only responsible for transporting it out, it seems to be transported to other places." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Chen became even more curious.

At this time, who still comes to Suzhou to buy grain?

Suzhou itself is already in short supply.

As a result, the local food price in Suzhou has risen a lot, who would stupidly come to Suzhou to buy grain?

Frowning slightly, Zhu Chen ordered: "Call your shopkeeper out, I want to buy grain." ”

That little second didn't dare to refuse.

immediately ran into the Shen family's rice shop and went to ask the shopkeeper.

After a while, the shopkeeper of the Shen family hurriedly walked out.

After seeing Zhu Chen, the Shen family's shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and with his spicy eyes, he could see at a glance that the young man in front of him was by no means an ordinary person.

"Hehe, Childe, I heard that you want to buy rice? How much you want. The shopkeeper of the Shen family walked over and smiled.

Zhu Chen opened his mouth and said: "How many meters do you have in the rice shop, we want them all." ”

When the shopkeeper of the Shen family heard this, his eyes jerked and he hurriedly looked at Zhu Chen.

It's the people of the government.

And he was also a young man, richly dressed and mighty, and the shopkeeper of the Shen family thought about it slightly, and thought of a person.

King Huai!

"It turned out that King Huai was here, and the Shen family was not very honored, but most of the rice in our rice shop has been bought, and only a small part is left."

The shopkeeper of the Shen family hesitated: "I don't know if King Huai still buys it?" ”

Only a small part is left?

Zhu Chen looked at the other rice shops and asked, "What about other places?" ”

The shopkeeper of the Shen family shook his head and said, "Most of them don't have much left, and almost all of them are sold." ”

Zhu Chen frowned: "Who bought it?" The local grain price in Suzhou is high enough, where are you going to sell it? ”

The shopkeeper of the Shen family was silent.

Zhu Chen's eyes sharpened, and he was going to ask directly.

But at this moment.

In the distance, a junior ran over in a hurry, and said with a look of ecstasy: "The shopkeeper, our eldest lady came from Yingtian, saying that she came to preside over the price of Suzhou." ”

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper of the Shen family was immediately ecstatic.

"The eldest lady is here?"

"Hurry up, pack your things, and get ready to welcome the eldest lady."

The shopkeeper of the Shen family in Suzhou is just a side branch of the Shen family, so when she met the eldest lady of the main branch who was coming, she was naturally full of brilliance, and she thought about welcoming her quickly.

Cuihua was pleasantly surprised: "Miss Shen is here." ”

Qiu Xiang said happily: "Boss, someone has helped us with things." ”

Little Red Dress's ability to do things is obvious to all, and in terms of food and currency, Zhu Chen can't compare to her.

Hearing her coming, Zhu Chen's face suddenly eased a lot: "Then let's wait." ”

Standing aside, it didn't take long for a large convoy to drive in the distance.

The convoy was carrying a large amount of supplies.

This is a long caravan, and the carriage of the caravan has a big Shen character written on it.

This is the Shen family's caravan coming.

Zhu Chen also looked at the caravan, and at the back of the caravan, a carriage slowly drove up.

On the carriage, a woman in a red dress got down.

The woman is delicate, with good facial features, bright eyes and bright teeth, and a shallow smile on her face.

Seeing the woman in the red dress, the shopkeeper of the Shen family and others immediately hurriedly ran up to greet her.

"Miss, why are you free?"

"Haha, Miss, welcome to your hometown in Suzhou."

In the midst of the welcome, the little red dress talked to them, showing a shallow smile from time to time.

As she walked here, she asked, "How's the situation in Suzhou?" ”

The shopkeeper of the Shen family said with a smile: "Okay, there is nothing big in Suzhou." ”

When the little red skirt heard this, she felt a lot more relieved, and said with her head bowed: "Then, what about King Huai, he's okay." ”

King Huai?

Why did the eldest lady suddenly mention King Huai?

The shopkeeper of the Shen family didn't know the relationship, but when he heard the eldest lady mention King Huai, he looked in the direction where Zhu Chen was, and said busily: "Miss, where is King Huai, he came to our Shen family to buy rice this morning." ”

Xiao Hongsheng raised her head and looked at the sight of the shopkeeper of the Shen family.

The eyes are facing each other.

The eyes of the two met together.

Those bright eyes suddenly bent into crescent moons.

On her delicate face, she couldn't stop smiling, and her red lips were particularly moving.

I just came to Suzhou, and I saw my sweetheart, and the little red dress was still a little surprised.

Her steps quickened, her red dress fluttering, and she walked quickly towards Zhu Chen.

In less than a moment, he stood in front of Zhu Chen.

"You're coming to my house to buy rice?" Little Red Dress asked with a smile.

Zhu Chen smiled dumbly, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Little Red Skirt turned her head, looked at the caravans, and smiled: "I knew that you would be short of food in Suzhou, so I shipped it to you." ”

"You see, this is the first batch."

"I'll arrange it later, and they'll send it one after another."
