Chapter 1248: Hoarding Grain

These clansmen of the Zhao clan are literate.

Although Zhao Changyu was slammering, he never slackened in the education of his clansmen.

Not only does Zhao have a part of the clan field dedicated to education funds, but he also allocates an additional amount of money to the clan every year.

The school-age children in the clan can go to the clan school for free to study for five years, and the books, pen, ink and paper spent on reading are all learned by the clan.

For students who are lonely, widowed and poor, the clan will also bear their diet, and those with excellent grades and talent in reading will also focus on training.

For example, Zhao Shi, his family background is average, and he is an only son, but because he is talented in reading and martial arts, in order to support him to study and study, not only is he responsible for the cost of studying and studying, but his parents will also help take care of him, so that he can have no distractions.

The more talented and powerful you are, the more care your clan will give.

And a student who has no talent enters school at the age of seven, reads for five years, and dismisses school for twelve years, which is enough for him to learn basic words, numbers, and truths.

At the age of twelve, he is already half an adult in this era, and he can help at home without studying, or find another way out.

Therefore, the people of the Zhao clan are literate and numeracy, and many of them still have a craft.

Such a person cannot starve himself anywhere, it is only a difference between a broad life and a satisfactory life.

There are many clansmen who feel unsatisfactory like Zhao Wan, and when Cheng Bo inquired, he learned that six people were hesitating to go back to Xiping with Zhao Wan.

Zhao Hanzhang flipped through their information and found that they were all people with a craft, tailoring, bookkeeping, gold and silver jewelry carving, and even one of them had a strong point of poetry.

Zhao Hanzhang was puzzled, "Good at poetry? Then this is a scholar, why don't you go to the recruitment exam? ”

Cheng Bo bowed and said: "I went, I went when I was in Xiping, and I passed the exam, but it didn't take long for me to be able to do it, he wrote well, but only wrote well." ”

Zhao Hanzhang understood, glanced at his former employer, and became even more curious, "What is the reason why the Seventh Uncle Ancestor invited him?" ”

"In order to talk to the literati and elegant guests," Cheng Bo said: "The Seventh Master hired him as a guest, and he usually kept him in the mansion, occasionally greeting guests for the Seventh Prince, and helping the Seventh Master to catch pens and make some poems, which is still very rich." ”

Zhao Hu was quite generous to the guests.

Zhao Hanzhang was puzzled: "Then what is?" ”

Uncle Cheng lowered his voice and said: "Some time ago, the seventh master wanted to take a concubine, and they were already looking at each other, and the woman didn't take a fancy to the seventh master, she took a fancy to him, and the two sides combined, and they simply got married. ”

When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he praised: "Strange woman, this girl has vision, and Zhao Xun is very good-looking." ”

Cheng Bo also smiled, bowed down and said, "Yes, although Xun Langjun is not familiar with popular affairs, he is gentle and kind, and he looks good." ”

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and said, "You ask him to take a few articles to me to see, you can arrange time for these people, and I will go home to see them the day after tomorrow, if it is appropriate, we will stay." ”

He also said: "You usually pay more attention, if there is a difficult day in the clan, and the clansmen who need help, if they can help them, they will help them, and they will do what their grandfather told them in the past." ”

She felt that Zhao Changyu's policy towards the clansmen in the past was very good, it was better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, find them a job, and support themselves.

Cheng Bo happily responded and went to do it with full of fighting spirit.

He had long wanted Zhao Hanzhang to meddle in clan affairs, and in his opinion, whether it was Zhao Song or Zhao Ming, their ability to deal with clan affairs was far inferior to that of Lao Lang.

But Zhao Hanzhang has always deliberately avoided clan affairs, and secondly, she is really busy, so Uncle Cheng doesn't dare to disturb her with such a thing.

Now that she began to deliberately meddle in the affairs of the clan, he was as happy as something.

Zhao Song and Zhao Hu didn't notice it, one was old and had limited energy, and he handed over the affairs of the clan to Zhao Ming as an agent, and Zhao Ming was far away in Yuzhou and couldn't manage the capital;

One is busy with his own career, and his banquet is about to start, he is so busy, he will not pay attention to such things.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Hu's banquet began, and Zhao Hanzhang also went to join in the fun, had a lunch, and took money by the way, and took the borrowed money.

After getting the money, Zhao Hanzhang also generously followed Zhao Hu to swim in the garden, and performed a harmony with his ancestors and grandchildren, and then found an excuse to leave.

As soon as he went out, Zhao Hanzhang called Tinghe, "Go and inquire about who among the people who came has food in their hands, and try to lower the price and spend all the money." ”

Tinghe, who had just finished counting the money, was stunned for a moment and asked, "One million dollars to buy all the grain?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "More than this million money, how much is the family, buy it all, and then go to the treasury to find it, and realize all the things that can be realized, and exchange all the money for food, if the grain in Luoyang is not enough, go to Yuzhou, Jizhou and Qingzhou to buy, do not have to transport it back, store grain on the spot, this matter must be confidential." ”

She said: "I asked Yuan Li and Zeng Yue to cooperate with you, and you can rely on the power of the General's Mansion when you buy, but you must grasp the proportion, and our large amount of grain hoarding cannot be leaked, so as not to make a difference in the price of grain." ”

This request was a bit difficult, but Tinghe still complied with it, and he had already planned it quickly in his heart.

The rest of Zhao Hanzhang's treasury are all utensils that are not easy to realize, but now that a large number of scholars have moved back, and there are southern scholars in Luoyang, as long as it is said that it is something from the former palace or the Wang family, there are still a lot of people who are interested.

Tinghe chose a few things and let people quietly take them out for cash.

After collecting a sum of money, he selected people and began to choose grain merchants and landlords in Luoyang, Yuzhou, Jizhou and other places.

With Yuan Li's intelligence, it is not difficult for her to choose people, especially in Luoyang, basically, everyone with a little ability comes to participate in the banquet of the Seventh Prince, as long as she squats at the gate and counts, she can find a suitable trading partner in a while.

There were also people who came from other places to attend the banquet, listened to He's notes one by one, managed to get the contact information of the people, and sent a few stewards to Zhao Hu's house to help, and talked to people by the way.

As soon as the feast was over, Tinghe asked them to separate and go to these people to start talking about the sale.

There were several, and she went in person.

As the big girl next to Zhao Hanzhang, her name and appearance are not a secret, she guided it, and the other party thought that she wanted to do a grain business and make some money.

Although I felt that this girl was bold enough to take out hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy and sell food, I was relieved when I thought of her identity.

One person has ascended to the throne, Zhao Hanzhang is now the chief regent, and the people around her, even if she is a girl, are comparable to five or six officials, and the prime minister's concierge has the irony of seven grades.

Most of the big grain merchants and big landlords who were found were willing to sell Tinghe's face, so they sold her grain at a slightly lower price than the market price.

Someone else quietly reminded Tinghe, "I can't make much money doing grain trading at this time, and if the girl wants to do it, she has to get all the grain out before April, otherwise in April, the summer harvest will begin, and the price of this grain will fall." ”

In addition to the usual grain sales, a larger part of the income is in the three months between January and April, which is the stage when the grain is not harvested and grain prices are rising.

At this time, it was the beginning of the first month, and the price of grain had already begun to rise, and it was too late for the grain merchants to come to do this business.

But the little girl, her knowledge is limited, for the sake of her identity, everyone gives her a little thin noodles, and sells her for a few pennies cheaper than a stone of grain, which is a good fate.

Tinghe exchanged 1.85 million yuan of grain in this way, and at the behest of Zhao Hanzhang, it was kept on the spot and guarded by Zeng Yue.

See you tomorrow
