Cao Zhirong sighed: "You and I are ministers in the same hall, and we are adjacent officials, we should take care of each other, Lord Zhou, for today's plan, there is no news from the imperial court, they are far away in the capital, how can they know the suffering of our local parents and officials?" ”

"I can't tell you!" Zhou Yuru rolled his eyes at Cao Zhirong, and secretly cursed the old fox in his heart!

Cao Zhirong cleared his throat and ordered his subordinates to serve tea.

After the servant served the tea, he cleaned up the broken teacup.

After there were only two people left in the study, Cao Zhirong said: "It's not difficult to ask for food, but it's expensive, Lord Zhou, not only you, but I also have a lot of flowers, but what is the grain now?" It is the life and the will of the people, and the people at my door are examples. ”

"You can still get food out now, who is it?" Zhou Yuru looked at Cao Zhirong suspiciously.

Cao Zhirong sighed: "Speaking out, Lord Zhou can be steady." ”

Zhou Yuru grinded his teeth: "That's it, what is the sale?" ”

"Qingwa Village." Cao Zhirong looked at Zhou Yuru and said slowly: "Qingwazhai is a mountain bandit or not, you know me, Qingwazhai knows itself, whether this intention to save the people is not instructed by the Shen family, but if the current difficulties cannot be overcome, do we have a future?" ”

Zhou Yuru stood up: "As an official of the imperial court, you dare to collude with rebellious ministers and thieves!" ”

"It's not appropriate for you to be so loud." Cao Zhirong frowned, picked up the tea and took a sip slowly: "Is the Shen family a chaotic thief, do you not know or I don't know?" King Jin has food, but now that I can't get a grain, can Lord Zhou get it? Don't talk about collusion, who doesn't think about their careers? ”

Zhou Yuru was dumbfounded again, sat down slowly, and muttered for a moment: "You mean the Shen family's hundred-legged insects?" ”

"I didn't say that." Cao Zhirong said immediately.

Zhou Yuru raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead: "That's it, I want food, what price?" How much can you give? ”

"One hundred taels of silver is one stone of high-quality rice, and there is only first-class rice." Cao Zhirong said.

Zhou Yuru almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood: "One hundred taels of silver and one stone of rice?" You actually said that the Shen family still wants to save the people? Cao Zhirong, you shouldn't have a bad brain, right? ”

"You don't have any rice at all? No rice grain and no chaff? If the high-quality rice is mixed in, the quantity is enough, but is the price high? If you think it's high, where else is there a cheap one? Not to mention cheap, where else can I take out more than 100,000 or 200,000 stone grain to relieve you and me? Cao Zhirong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We are parents and officials, tens of thousands of mouths are waiting to eat, and if we don't give food, that is tens of thousands of desperate people, Lord Zhou, which is more important?" ”

Zhou Yuru sat on the chair like a mournful woman, and he found that when he entered this door, he was simply led by Cao Zhirong's nose!

Obviously, he came to settle accounts with him, but now he feels that Cao Zhirong's method is the only way, who doesn't love the black gauze hat? I have been wearing it on my head for so many years, and I must protect it if I can protect it!

"This flood, famine and epidemic, not only our two places, there are too many places affected by the Tang Kingdom, if you and I can govern well and appease the people, after the imperial court, you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, Lord Zhou, you have nobles to support, if you can't take a step forward, you will have to carry more officials when the time comes." Cao Zhirong sacrificed the last killing weapon.

This simply made Zhou Yuru unable to sit still.

When he couldn't sit still, he got up and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, which provoked a cold light to flash in Cao Zhirong's eyes.

People who go to other people's homes to disregard etiquette like this don't take the owner of this family in their hearts at all, obviously Zhou Yuru doesn't take Cao Zhirong in his eyes at all.

"More than 100,000 or 200,000 stone of grain, how can there be so much grain in Qingwa Village?" Zhou Yuru squinted his eyes and looked at Cao Zhirong.

Cao Zhirong smiled: "How do I know? ”

Zhou Yuru's abacus crackled in his heart, if the tattered grain he got in Feng Zhong's hands was mixed with a small amount of rice grains, it would not be difficult to sell it, and the price of grain could not be controlled at all now, and Jinghe Mansion was richer than Qinghe Mansion.

Moreover, it is almost enough to solve the urgent need to have 10,000 stone grain, and it is impossible for the imperial court not to provide disaster relief all the time, as long as the imperial court has issued a holy decree for disaster relief, and he will go to the king of Jin to ask for food, the king of Jin will definitely take the opportunity to sell grain, and no matter how expensive it is, it will not be more expensive than the grain in Qingwa Village.

After thinking about it, 10,000 stone of grain was a million taels of silver, and he felt that he could die a death, so much silver had to be taken out, and there was not enough on the account of the yamen, and all his belongings were also pressed.

The official has been promoted to one level, and now he is the official position of the fourth grade, and then he is one step from the third grade, and things are done beautifully.

Cao Zhirong casually watched Zhou Yuru go faster and faster, raised his eyebrows slightly, and sneered in his heart, as long as he got on the thief ship, if Zhou Yuru dared to be difficult for himself, then don't blame himself for being polite!

"Good! 10,000 stone grain, I will bring it back immediately. Zhou Yuru said.

Cao Zhirong got up: "I instructed someone to invite the people from Qingwa Village to come over, how to talk about it, the lower officials will not be involved." ”

Zhou Yuru and Cao Zhirong are at the same level, and this subordinate made Zhou Yuru feel that he was already a member of the third grade, and waved his hand to ask Cao Zhirong to invite.

Soon, Qin Yuanfeng came.

Zhou Yuru asked for grain, Qin Yuanfeng asked for silver, and after the transaction of silver and goods was negotiated, Qin Yuanfeng said: "Lord Zhou, there is no evidence, write a deed." ”

"You don't trust this official?" Zhou Yuru immediately became vigilant, what is this black and white letter? It's evidence with teeth, and I don't want to write a deed and leave someone to handle it!

Qin Yuanfeng looked at Zhou Yuru: "If Lord Zhou has another way, there is no need to write this deed, and the business of my Qingwa Village is not just done by anyone." ”

The atmosphere was deadlocked, Zhou Yuru didn't dare to play prestige in front of Qin Yuanfeng, after all, the Qingwa Village was full of people from the army, not to mention killing people like hemp, but killing people was too easy for them, it was commonplace!

"That's it! Write! Zhou Yuru went out and invited Cao Zhirong to come and asked Cao Zhirong to be a Chinese writer.

This hand really caught Cao Zhirong off guard, he just waited to grab Zhou Yuru's handle, but he never expected Zhou Yuru to pull himself in, write the deed, and get on the thief ship.

However, Cao Zhirong didn't dwell on it for a while, wrote the deed bit by bit, and took the lead in stamping the letter.

Put away the two copies in duplicate, Zhou Yuru went out and left with people, Qin Yuanfeng met Cui Peng and others who came to answer outside the city of Qinghe Mansion, and told Cui Peng to lead the way and take a step first, he turned his horse's head back to the city, and entered Fang Jing'an's Shou'an Hall generously.

"It's a life talisman." Qin Yuanfeng handed the deed to Fang Qingying.

Fang Qingying was stunned: "Is it so fast?" ”

"Cao Zhirong is not simple, the big boss is more wary of this, after his subordinates go back, they will immediately send people to Qinghe Village, twenty miles north of the city, and the people who live there are all our people." Qin Yuanfeng said that, he pondered for a long time, and his eyes never left Fang Qingying.

Fang Qingying raised his eyes: "Let's go?" ”

Qin Yuanfeng immediately retracted his gaze, took two steps back, and fell to the ground on one knee and clenched his fists: "Subordinates retire, if there is a chance, they will see you again, take care!" ”

At this moment, Fang Qingying knew that parting was imminent, and he would return to Qingwa Village again, but he was afraid that it would be an empty cottage .......
