Chapter 124: Hoarding Grain
Yan Hui and Sang Ye were guarding outside the door, Yun Jinchu saw Sun Yilan call Liu Sanniang in, and told her a few words, Liu Sanniang's face changed slightly and hurriedly took the words out.
The two of them were a little worried when they looked at the rain outside, but no matter how worried they were, God wouldn't be more considerate because of manpower.
Yun Jinchu eased his mind and said, "Have you bought the shop on West Street?" ”
Sun Yilan nodded: "I've already bought it." ”
Yun Jinchu thought for a while: "Since you bought it, let's stock up on wine and grain according to what I said before, first prepare the equipment I want, and after the wine cellar is dug, I will teach you to make wine, as for the food thing...... You openly select one or two to acquire, and secretly you can contact a few more and quietly buy more. ”
Sun Yilan asked, "Miss wants to stock up on grain?" ”
Yun Jinchu didn't hide it from her: "Although the flood is speculation, if such a heavy rain keeps falling, it will definitely affect the yield of the fields, and I am afraid that the autumn harvest will also reduce the yield, even if there is no flood, the price of grain will rise, and maybe I am unfounded, I always have some bad premonitions." ”
She has experienced disasters and seen with her own eyes the misery of purgatory under natural disasters.
Old Man Song is in charge of the household department, and once there is a real disaster, the household department will bear the brunt.
She once mentioned the situation of the Daye court when she chatted with Mo Xuanchen, and occasionally heard the old man Song say that the surface of the household is abundant, but it has long been beyond its means, and when it is usually smooth, there is naturally no major difficulty in managing the household, but if there is any catastrophe, I am afraid that the situation of the household department will be stretched.
The imperial court was unable to provide disaster relief, and the people were resentful and chaotic.
The emperor doesn't care if the reason is because of the problems of the imperial court, he will only ask the people below him for their incompetence, and when the time comes, the old man Song may be the scapegoat.
She wanted to stock up on a batch of food just in case, and when she went back, she would remind Old Man Song to deal with it in advance.
Even if she takes 10,000 steps back, she is really worried, and she is not afraid that the food she has hoarded will not be consumed.
As long as the wine is continuously produced and consumed, the grain can be turned into money.
What's more, she has a deeper layer of hidden worries, with the relationship between Mo Xuanchen and the royal family, maybe there may be military disasters in the future, once the fight really starts, food will be the most important material at that time.
No matter what time it is, people who have food in their pockets do not panic.
Yun Jinchu said: "You first secretly buy grain, on the premise of not disturbing the market price, hoard as much as possible, dig cellars on the fields and Zhuangzi outside our city to make waterproofing and store all of them, and say that it is hoarding wine and grain to the outside world." ”
"You don't have to be confined to the capital to buy grain, you can do it in the surrounding cities and even in the south of the Yangtze River, don't make people suspicious, and act in a low-key manner, don't attract attention."
Sun Yilan pondered for a moment and nodded: "Miss, don't worry, I know how to do it." ”
……
Yun Jinchu knew that Sun Yilan had his own rules for acting, and the matter of hoarding grain and investigating the river was not something that could be reported in a moment.
After she did everything she could, she relieved herself and talked to Sun Yilan for a while, telling her that she had asked people to go to southern Hebei to find Uncle Sun, and then led Mulberry Ye and Yanhui to leave.
When I returned to Song's house, it was already dark, and it was pouring rain outside.
Yun Jinchu had just entered the front hall with his wet body, and sure enough, he saw Old Man Song and they were all waiting for her.
The people of the Song family had already heard the news and knew that Yun Jinchu and the third princess had collided with a horse on the street, and they also knew that Yun Jinchu was taken back to Zhennan Wangfu by Mo Xuanchen, but they waited for a long time and didn't come back, and they were in a hurry.
"Why are you only coming back now, you kid?"
Old Madam Song stepped forward quickly, pulled her and just said a word, when she saw the wound on her forehead, she immediately became anxious, "This is an injury, why is it still injured on the face, is the injury serious?" Show me. ”
Song Shulan next to them was also anxious.
I knew that Yun Jinchu was injured, but I didn't expect it to be injured on my face.
Yun Jin first saw that Mrs. Song was in a hurry, so he let her look at the injury and whispered: "Grandmother, don't worry, I'm fine, I just scratched a little skin." ”
"It's not okay to break the skin, this girl's face is the most precious, how can it be good if it has a scar?" The second lady next to her, An Shi, said angrily.
The eldest lady Zou has a warm and weak temperament, but she also cares about her in the end: "Have you taken the medicine?" Have you ever seen a doctor? Is there anything else that hurts? ”
Yun Jinchu didn't have the slightest impatience, and only replied in a soft voice: "I've already seen the doctor, it's really fine, and it won't leave a scar." ”
A few people were a little relieved.
Song Qingya stood aside and looked at the hurt anger on Yun Jinchu's face and said angrily: "Is that Murong Qi crazy, how dare she let people hit you on the street, you should take me with you when you go out, if I am also here, see if I don't have a few whips to slap her slut face!" ”
"Qingya!" Song Hongfeng reprimanded on the side, "What kind of slut is not a slut, what nonsense does the girl's family say?" ”
Song Qingya's eyes widened and she was full of anger: "Did I say something wrong?" Isn't she just a cheap skin, last time she bullied Ah Jin in the racecourse, and this time she wanted to kill Ah Jin, she deserved to kill her if I smoked her! ”
"You!"
Song Hongfeng didn't like his daughter's violent temperament very much.
Song Hongyuan next to him saw that the eldest brother and father and daughter were about to quarrel, and hurriedly interjected: "Okay, okay, it's a good thing that Ah Jin has come back safely." ”
He stopped Song Hongfeng and glanced at his niece Song Qingya, seeing that Song Qingya turned her head unhappily and didn't speak again, he said to Mrs. Song, "Father and mother, let Ah Jin change his clothes first, although it is early summer, it is still a little cold when it rains, don't catch the wind cold." ”
"Yes, yes, go change your clothes." Old Madam Song hurriedly urged Yun Jinchu to leave.
Old Man Song turned his head and said, "Since Ah Jin is back, don't gather here, go back." ”
"It's the father."
"Grandfather, I want to accompany Ah Jin." Song Qingya hurriedly said.
Song Shulan also looked at Old Man Song.
Old Man Song thought about the affairs in the house, and there was nothing they couldn't know, so he agreed.
The second lady An was diagnosed with a pregnancy two days ago, and she couldn't stand the work, and the eldest lady Zou was also a little afraid of being with Mrs. Song, so she went with the second lady, but the two brothers Song Hongfeng were worried about the matter of the third princess, and followed the old man Song and they sent Yun Jinchu back to the Qibi Courtyard.
When Yun Jinchu went in and changed his clothes, he wrung out his hair and cleaned it up and came out.
The emotions of the Song family have also calmed down a lot.
Old Madam Song carefully looked at Yun Jinchu's injuries, and saw that she only scratched her forehead a little, and the skin on her elbows and arms was also broken, and she was not too seriously injured elsewhere, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
