Generous and powerful, neither humble nor arrogant, showing the domineering spirit of the king, at the end Lan Chen also added, "There is no need to worry about hoarding, the grain is already hidden in the cellar, and I also specially prepare some food suitable for storage, and I will also take time to place a large ice cube there every day." Roughly calculated, if you save some food, it will be enough for the people of the whole city for seven days. ”

Lan Chen...... You! Bai Zhixian subconsciously stood up, trembling and pointing at Lan Chen, his eyes full of shock.

He really couldn't have imagined that this young young man would have such foresight and big hands.

You must know that the inferior gentry of the Chamber of Commerce who have been in contact with it in recent days have also calculated the sky-high asking price, but in fact, the grain stock is really not enough.

If it's just a neighbor on the street, the chamber of commerce can afford it, but if it's for the people of the city? It's not enough to plug your teeth!

Lan Chen is good, the shot is seven days of food, seven thousand five hundred taels of money!

As if reacting to something, Bai Zhixian exclaimed, "That's why you charge me five hundred taels a day?" ”

"Huh. This is a bad statement, I don't think I will be stupid to come to Baizhi County, right? The five hundred taels were also requisitioned from several major chambers of commerce, and they were not short of money, and besides, it would only be more beneficial for them to cool down Xuzhou. ”

After hearing this, Bai Zhixian first blushed, and then he was a little incoherent and wanted to defend him, but he was also directly interrupted by Lan Chen, "Xing Xu Zhixian doesn't know, the dye workshop 'Yan Fang' that has risen in Xuzhou recently is exactly where it is, and those gossip news were also told to me by the domestic servants." ”

"Yan Fang is actually from the hand of the lord?" Bai Zhixian was stunned, and immediately laughed embarrassedly, he actually just wanted to move out the five hundred taels to talk about things, and after digging deeper, wasn't that batch of grain still bought by Bai Zhixian, but it was nothing more than Lan Chen's hands.

Naturally, the purpose was just to bargain.

Seeing that the inferior gentry of the Chamber of Commerce couldn't get along with Bai Zhixian, they also went into the streets and alleys alone and resold them, which made a lot of poor people suffer, and Bai Zhixian was distressed to death. No matter what, I have to buy this batch of grain from Lan Chen!

"yes. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to take out more than 7,000 taels to buy food, right? ”

Lan Chen shrugged his shoulders easily, it seemed to be relaxed, but in fact, he was also overcoming all difficulties at that time.

From the day he returned from Huadu, he asked Wang Katie to buy a large amount of grain.

Now it is an afterthought to praise its foresight, but at that time, this practice had to be seen as a joke, and a stupid boy who came out of this hoarding grain was still bought at the high price at that time.

Now it seems that the high price at that time is placed today?

It's a big deal!

Bai Zhixian, who reacted, was also dumbfounded, half a month ago?

In other words, Lan Chen began to arrange this matter after returning from Huadu? At that moment, he hadn't started to cool down the strategy, so he was so sure that he wouldn't lose money by spending seven thousand taels!

That's a lot of money!

It is also because of this generosity that the people of Xuzhou have hope to survive.

Half a month apart, the purchasing power of more than 7,000 taels is greatly reduced.

In addition to deep admiration, Bai Zhixian really had no other feelings in his heart.

"Xuzhou is saved, Xuzhou is saved! Little lord, since you have the heart to come to me, what about the price...... Don't drive it too far. Alas, you don't know, several major chambers of commerce and a few inferior gentry in the city are simply white-eyed wolves, snake-hearted elephants! ”

Bai Zhixian pretended to be guilty while secretly observing Lan Chen's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Lan Chen just shook his head indifferently, and blurted out, "That grain, don't take a penny." I want to entrust it to Shirachi Prefecture, and you will definitely be able to handle it properly, and you will not charge a penny from the people in the city, right?"

Bai Zhixian was stunned.

A full 7,000 taels of grain, but he didn't take a penny and donated it directly for nothing? Living Bodhisattva, this!

He had no choice but to nod his head blankly, and asked in surprise, "Sir, is this true?" ”

"Let me ask you, first, if you had food in your hands, would you collect money from the people?"

"No, absolutely not!" Bai Zhixian waved his hand again and again: "The government and the opposition are almost forgetting about our Xuzhou!" Alas, in fact, it is no wonder that this famine is menacing, and the north does not know how many people have died! It's just that we don't know when it will be our turn to provide relief food for the imperial court. ”

"It's not that I'm boasting, you don't know how much money I've thrown into my own pockets. The thought of my father, my fellow villagers starving, my heart. ”

In addition to being excited, Bai Zhixian was about to burst into tears, and Lan Chen also showed a rare sense of truth, and immediately stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, which was comforting.

"It's just that there's a reluctant request down there."

"Oh? It doesn't hurt to say it! You are a great hero of Xuzhou, and now you have saved many people out of your own pocket! ”

As long as you don't talk about money, or if it's within the control of the county treasury, everything is easy to talk about, easy to talk about!

Even, Bai Zhixian was mentally prepared to buy it at more than three times the price, Lan Chen was good, and he didn't take a penny.

"Hahaha, and listen to me first, I also know that this request is a bit difficult for strong people, naturally, it's okay if you don't agree, the grain is still taken, this is just my request, it won't affect others."

After taking a deep breath, Lan Chen also continued, "Lord Zhixian should also know about my father's affairs, although he was exiled by holy decree, but the punishment period is still more than half a year, I can't bear to let the family suffer outside, I guess I want to find it back and take it back to the old mansion." ”

"Naturally, just take it back and take care of it, my father will never show his face, so that the government and the opposition will still only be in exile. If a misfortune is exposed, I can take it alone, but now I want the adults to make it convenient, and this is a request. ”

After that, Lan Chen also bowed deeply to Bai Zhi County, firstly, to respect him for the people, and secondly, to ask him to agree to this condition.

From the first day of his contact with Bai Zhi County, he has also been planning this plan.

After careful consideration, the previous plan of hoarding grain planned by Huadu and Wang Katie was still a little inappropriate, but in fact, this impropriety was only felt after contact with Lin Dongshuang these days.

As for the grain, it has been hoarded for a long time, but because its central situation has changed, it has also been decided to donate all the money to the prefect government, and the distribution of grain will be determined by Bai Zhi County.

gave a favor in vain, and if you can protect your father's safety in the rest of the year, it is also excellent, excellent.

It's just that Bai Xianling also has to take a certain risk, this has been discovered, and it will be ......

So Lan Chen didn't have too much hope, so he should try his luck, no, he had already gotten up, bowed to Bai Xian Ling, and said, "Later, I have to let the county commander send some people to Lan Mansion, and the servants will take you there, whether to move all of them and then I will store the ice, or move it day by day, it's up to you." Then I will retire first. ”

"Wait!"
