"Daddy, Daddy... Good news, good news! ”

In the courtyard of the Lin family, the eldest young master of the Lin family excitedly broke into his father's room, and said excitedly to Lin Lao, who was warming his feet in the maid's arms.

"As soon as that grandson came, he killed a lot of victims, and I heard that there were hundreds of people, if this matter was known to the imperial court, those imperial historians would not impeach him to death."

"When the emperor is furious, it is estimated that he will not only be transferred back, but even the grandson position that he will get will be gone."

Lin Lao, who was enjoying the warmth, slowly opened his eyes.

"I already knew about this, and I have already ordered to contact people, I believe that in two days, there will be a letter of impeachment from the imperial historian."

"And... Just now, the chief secretary sent a letter that tomorrow the grandson will invite the grain merchants in the city to eat and drink, presumably because he wants everyone to sell grain at a low price, or let everyone hand over some grain to help the victims. ”

"You go over tomorrow and deal with it, no matter what he says, leave him alone, whatever he says. But we must do enough in terms of etiquette, and we can't let him find fault and use this to make things difficult for us. ”

"He brought 20,000 stone of grain, and there are so many people under him, who eat horses and chew to come here, it is enough to save the victims outside Jinan Prefecture, and he can't save the victims in other places."

"You drag him first, and wait for the good news from the Jingshi."

"Remember, no matter what he says, don't choke him, your purpose is to delay time."

"We have the signboard of the Kong family, he doesn't dare to force it, even if there is no news from the court for the time being, we don't have to be afraid of him."

"By the way, let people go to other places to publicize and tell them that the imperial court sent a messenger to help the disaster. When the time comes, as soon as there are many people, as soon as he finishes his food, he will come to us and beg us, and at that time, what conditions and what prices to offer, we will say. ”

After saying that, he waved his hand at his son and drove him out.

Lin Lao, who was kicked out, glanced at the handsome girl on the bed, and couldn't help but feel envious in his heart.

Lin Lao, an old pervert who has lived from the Yuan Dynasty to the present.

In addition to the old treacherous and slippery, there are also some unbearable evil habits.

For example, from some Yuan nobles, I learned the method of spittoon, drinking people, and collecting yin and replenishing yang.

This old man will accept a yellow flower girl every month, and his reputation is to collect yin and supplement yang.

This habit has continued since the old guy was in charge of the house.

And what's even more hateful is that this old guy can still be a thief.

This year is almost 100 years old, and he is still in good spirits, and every month when he picks yin and yang, he can toss the sleeping woman to death.

What makes the Lin family even more unhappy is that this old guy only allows himself to do this, and others will be punished if they follow suit.

In the words of this old guy, this is the right of the head of the Lin family, only the head of the family can enjoy all this, and whoever dares to act is offended to the head of the family.

Early the next morning, the Yamen of the Political Department of Jinan Prefecture gathered a group of wealthy people dressed in patched clothes.

That's right, rich people in patched clothes.

At this time, these people had a bitter face and were communicating loudly with the people around them.

"Alas, I don't know when this day will be the end, and if it goes on like this, the food at home will be eaten up."

"Who says it's not, the rice warehouse at home has long been empty, since half a month ago, my whole family has been young, and each person can only drink one bowl of rice porridge per meal, and it is still clear rice porridge that can shine on people."

"Think about my poor old mother, who raised me with hard work, but I couldn't let her live a good life, I am ashamed of my mother's kindness!"

As he spoke, he hid his face with his sleeve and began to weep.

It's just that what makes people speechless is that this person cried and buckled his teeth and spit out a piece of shredded meat.

"Alas, Brother Ning, when you say this, my tears are also falling."

"Yesterday my little boy was so hungry that he couldn't sleep, and he asked me for food, but I had no choice but to cut my wrist and let him drink my blood!"

As he spoke, the man flashed his wrist wrapped in silk.

In fact, his wound was too high last night when he played with the concubine, and he inadvertently scratched the wound made by the embroidery bed.

"Don't worry, two brothers, now that His Royal Highness Taisun is here with the disaster relief food allocated by the imperial court, he will definitely help us who are suffering."

"That's right, Taisun summoned us here, I'm afraid that's what happened."

In order to pretend to be pitiful, these people are also fighting hard enough.

Not only did he wear patched clothes, but he also deliberately went hungry in the morning to make his image closer to the state of starvation.

In their eyes, this should be the case for the victims of the disaster.

This is like what Zhu Zhangui acted in a TV series in his previous life.

In the eyes of those big stars and directors, driving a small BMW, living in a small apartment with exquisite decoration and receiving a salary of 5,000 per month is the life of ordinary people.

"His Royal Highness Taisun has arrived!"

Just as a group of people were fighting each other, the guards on duty shouted.

The people in the hall hurriedly turned around and bowed to the door.

They are businessmen, lowly people, and in the face of Zhu Zhangui, a royal child, they must bow and bow.

If you dare to bow your hand, then you are finished.

The crime of contempt for the royal family will definitely not be able to escape.

"Meet His Royal Highness, Your Highness is blessed!"

Zhu Zhangui, who walked in with someone, walked to the main seat and nodded with a smile.

"Get up!"

After everyone kowtowed and thanked them, they got up from the ground, lowering their heads and not daring to look directly at Zhu Zhangui.

"I gathered everyone here today, the purpose is to meet everyone, eat and chat with everyone by the way, everyone is not formal, just do it!"

"His Royal Highness Taisun Xie!"

Everyone thanked them, and under the guidance of the soldiers, they sat down in the positions that had been prepared for a long time next to them.

Look at the crowd who are only sitting on half of their buttocks, and can get up and salute at any time.

Zhu Zhangui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

These people are really fine, and all kinds of rules are comprehensive, so you can't find any fault.

If Zhu Zhangui wants to find fault in this aspect, there is no place to start.

"Serve!"

Zhu Zhangui gave an order to Lu Xin, who was sitting next to him, and then said to everyone: "I heard that you are grain merchants from Jinan Prefecture, and I wanted to invite you to come today to discuss the purchase of grain for disaster relief. ”

"But looking at the situation in front of me and what I just heard outside the door, your family is not rich in food, and even I heard just now that many people have not had enough to eat for several days."

"Alas!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhangui sighed and shook his head.

"This hateful natural disaster is so serious that even the landlord's family has no surplus food."

"Yes, Your Highness."

As soon as Zhu Zhangui's words fell, a man stood up, bowed to Zhu Zhangui, and then said with a bitter face:

"Although we are grain merchants, the natural disaster has lasted for so long, and the food in our hands has already been exhausted."

"Among them, the greatest consumption was at the beginning of the disaster."

"Although we are businessmen who pursue profits, we are also human beings, and our hearts are also flesh and blood."

"The local villagers were so hungry that we couldn't bear to see them starve to death, so we sold all the grain to them at a very low price in the early days."

"I didn't expect that the disaster would last so long, not only would the people have no food to eat, but even those of us who sold grain would starve to death."

As he spoke, the man wiped a handful of tears and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Zhangui.

"Your Highness, we have no food to eat at home, for the sake of helping the people in the early days of the drought, give us some food, so that I can wait to get through this crisis."

The man's movements were like a signal.

The others also got up, crying and begging Zhu Zhangui to give them some food.

Oh, good fellows.

These guys are really shameless.

Not only did they not want to give out a little food, but they also wanted to get some back from Zhu Zhangui.

When these people do this, they are not afraid that Zhu Zhangui will go to their house to investigate.

Long before they devised a strategy, they sent their food to the warehouse and picked it up every day when they used it.

Before dawn this morning, they asked the family to eat all the remaining food, and with the arrangement and concealment, there was really not a single grain of grain in the house.

So they are not afraid to check at all.

As for the shops and granaries, it has nothing to do with them, they are all the business of the Kong family.

If His Royal Highness Your Grandson has the ability, then go and do it with the Kong family.

If you don't have the ability, then you can roll as far as you can.

As for buying from somewhere else.

Hehe, the Kong family has already spoken to several provincial grain merchants in Fangyuan, whoever dares to send a grain here is an enemy of the Kong family.

If you dare to be the enemy of the Kong family, you will be criticized by the world's scholars, let alone doing business, and it is unknown whether the life of the family can be saved.

The people in the world are all children of saints, and as long as the Kong family says hello, then you will receive strong care and greetings from the local government.

Therefore, it is precisely for this reason that several state capitals in Fangyuan knew that Jinan Prefecture was short of food, and they did not send food over.

First, the people here have long been scraped by the local grain merchants, and they can't get much oil and water when they come.

Second, the Kong family really can't afford to offend.

It is precisely because of this that those present have no fear.

If your grandson wants food, then go to the one from the Kong family, we don't have a grain in our hands.

Of course, if you can bring in food from the capital or from a distant province, then we have nothing to say.

Looking at the grain merchants below who were crying and kowtowing, Zhu Zhangui smiled.

Originally, he wanted to talk to these people, and if the price of grain was willing to be lowered, Zhu Zhangui would buy the grain in their hands.

When Zhu Zhangui left the palace, the old man gave him three million taels.

The money is used to buy relief food locally.

It is too long to transport disaster relief food from the imperial court or other places, and the consumption is too large, not to mention the question of whether it is cost-effective or not, it will take a lot of time.

Disaster relief is like fighting fires, and the victims can't wait that long.

Therefore, in ancient times, the imperial court disaster relief would have two modes: money and food.

Disaster relief officials would take a shipment of food with them to the emergency and then use the money to buy food from local grain merchants or from neighboring provinces.

Although the cost is a little higher, the time saved.

It's a pity that businessmen make profits, their purpose is to make money, how can they let go of this opportunity to make a fortune.

No matter how good your court's methods are, I just won't reduce the price, and your court will still be able to grab it.

Unless the emperor comes in person, any minister who dares to force him to buy it will not end well afterwards.

Of course, if you can play strategy like Fan Zhongyan, then everyone will be convinced if they lose.

If you don't have that ability, then you can honestly pay a high price!

It's a pity that these people's calculations are wrong.

Zhu Zhangui invited them over for dinner and discussion, because he didn't want to break the unspoken rules of the imperial court and make everyone look good.

But if these people don't give him face, Zhu Zhangui will let these people see and understand, and the year of the catastrophe will be chaotic.

In the year of the great drought, the people can't survive anymore, and they go up to the mountains to be a robber, which should be normal, right?

Now that it is so difficult, the bandits and robbers have no food to come down the mountain to rob, which should be very normal!

As a grain merchant, it is normal for you to start grabbing grain from you!

Looking at the grain merchants kowtowing below, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Zhangui's mouth.

Sleepless tonight!
