"Really?" Lin Shuran looked incredulous, looked at Liu Tong happily, and was very excited to see him nodding affirmatively.

And Li Xiao also looked at her with a smile and said, "If the academy wants a gentleman who teaches the piano, I am willing to go there!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Shuran hurriedly replied, she was afraid that Li Xiao would change her hexagram, so she recruited two gentlemen for the academy, and these two are big guys in the literati circle, and others can't invite them.

Wen Shangqing only turned around slightly to look at his two friends, didn't say anything, and then asked Wen Junqing to send Lin Shuran back first.

Halfway through, Wen Junqing asked Lin Shuran in the carriage, "Cousin, can I go to your academy to study then?" ”

Lin Shuran looked at him puzzled and said, "Aren't you studying in Guozijian now?" Why do you want to go to a college that hasn't opened any foundation yet, I teach children, and your age is not the same! ”

"Even the poet madman and the piano idiot are going to your academy to be gentlemen, you don't know how many people want to be their disciples, if this news comes out, your academy will not worry about no students at all." Wen Junqing said enviously that Guozijian was a bunch of old scholars, and he actually didn't like to study there.

"I forgot to tell you, my academy has an age limit, and it's not that anyone can come if they want to, so you should study hard in Guozijian first." Lin Shuran tried to dispel Wen Junqing's idea of entering the Juvenile Academy, after all, this academy didn't even find a gentleman, plus she was pregnant and delayed for some time, and she didn't know when the academy really opened, so don't delay others.

Wen Junqing didn't care what Lin Shuran said, he made up his mind, and when the Children's Academy began to accept students, he was the first to run to sign up.

Two days later, Honggu rushed to tell Lin Shuran that after her many inquiries and confirmations in the past few days, it can be concluded that since the time of the ancestor emperor, the Yaowang Mansion is the invisible money bag of the royal family, whenever the treasury is empty or the people need disaster relief silver and relief food, there will be a mysterious person who sends a huge amount of silver to the royal family, and this mysterious person is every Yao Wangye, and there are not many people in the world who know about this matter, only every emperor who sits on the throne of the dragon chair and the person he trusts the most knows.

"But Aunt Hong, how did you find out? According to you, this matter should be extremely secret, and it is also a royal secret, so you can inquire so clearly in the past few days? Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that anyone who hears it will feel strange, and the royal things that have never been known to outsiders are so easy to find out, and anyone has questions! Lin Shuran said truthfully.

Honggu knew that Lin Shuran was not questioning herself, she just couldn't understand why such a secret thing was found out like this, in fact, she really didn't have this kind of ability, these were all told to her by her stepfather Gao Lun, but she couldn't tell Gao Lun's identity, so she said to Lin Shuran half-truthfully: "Madam, the slave maid found an elder of the Three Dynasties, he was a close minister of the first emperor's side, and he was also one of the few people who knew about it, please forgive the slave maid for not telling you who he really is, But you can guarantee that what this person said is very credible, and this person also said that the emperor and the queen mother are aware of this matter, and you can also go to them for verification. ”

Lin Shuran nodded, she will verify it when she has the opportunity in the future, since the Yaowangfu and the emperor are on one side, then they are also on the side with herself, so there are fewer doubts about cooperating with Zhao Mu, the little prince of Yaowangfu, but in this way, the emperor will know that he is half of the owner of Liuli Pavilion, so will Xu Junze already know?

So, Lin Shuran asked Zhao Mu to meet him again and asked him this question in person, but Zhao Mu told her that the emperor didn't know who opened the Liuli Pavilion, and he never asked how the Yaowang Mansion made money, and the Yaowang Mansion would only help when the royal family's money was in an emergency.

The emperor didn't know, Xu Junze shouldn't know, about the matter of the Liuli Pavilion, Lin Shuran hadn't figured out how to tell Xu Junze for the time being, so he would wait until he came back.

"I heard that there is a granary in Mrs. Xu's mountain, and I want to buy some grain from you!" Zhao Mu suddenly proposed to buy grain, which made Lin Shuran stunned when he heard it, now that it is after the autumn harvest, there should be a lot of grain, how can he think of buying grain with himself.

"Little prince, the granary in the mountain belongs to those mountain people, and it really has nothing to do with me, and what are you doing when you suddenly want to buy grain?" Lin Shuran asked purely out of curiosity.

Zhao Mu said: "Recently, the grain merchants began to collect grain and hoard grain, resulting in an increase in grain prices, among which the wine merchant Bai family purchased the most grain, and almost all the grain in the market was taken away by them, and it is rumored that this winter will be a rare cold season in a century, and there will be a shortage of grain at that time, so the grain merchants have heard the wind and moved, but they have already hoarded the grain before winter. ”

"Are they planning to make a fortune when the time comes?" Lin Shuran tightened his brows, "I don't know where this rumor came from, winter hasn't arrived yet, how can I be sure that it's the cold season!" ”

"This is an illusion created by someone who pretended to be, this news said that it came from Qin Tianjian, and if the price of grain is to be stable in winter, the imperial court must have grain in its hands, otherwise it will be difficult for the people to stabilize." Zhao Mu said worriedly.

Lin Shuran saw that he was thinking about the people and the court between his words, and although he was disabled, he was still worried about the people of Sheji, and she also admired Zhao Mu, the little prince.

So Lin Shuran said: "My father and those mountain people have reached a consensus before, they are willing to give food to the imperial court, as long as it is needed by the country and the people, I believe that those mountain people are still willing to take out the grain in the granary, but how a granary can solve the needs of the entire Jin Dynasty is just a drop in the bucket, or to find other ways to stabilize the price of grain." ”

"Then we can only make a move against the wine merchant Bai family!" Zhao Mu said lightly, but there was a cold air in his words.

"The wine merchant Bai family? Shouldn't we talk to those grain merchants about this? Lin Shuran asked a little puzzled, in her opinion, the issue of grain is naturally to be discussed with those big grain merchants, and it should have little to do with wine merchants, after all, wine merchants also rely on grain merchants.

But Zhao Mu sneered at the corner of his mouth with deep meaning, and said: "Mrs. Xu may not know that the Bai family, a wine merchant, is also the largest grain merchant in the world, otherwise the Beijing Chamber of Commerce would not have a place for the Bai family. Bai family, Bai family, I really don't like it! ”
