Jiang Lun glanced at his son-in-law, and felt that things were not simple, his son-in-law was a good hand at being an official, but the time was not good, and every time he was promoted, he always had a little bit of luck, and God had to do something for him.

Otherwise, at his age, he would have become a Beijing official a long time ago with his scheming.

Now that he has resigned and returned to Beijing, Song Sanye is an upright official, but he is too upright, and the Song family still has someone to control the overall situation.

"Do you know about Yancheng?" Jiang Lun said.

Song Nanyong nodded, "Dad, I always feel that this matter is boring, and I am uneasy, so please give me some advice." ”

Jiang Lun's eyes narrowed, looked at his son-in-law and said, "If you have any ideas, just say it." ”

Song Nanyong said solemnly, "I am thinking about this matter, I am afraid that someone may deliberately manipulate the third brother, the emperor's northern tour has the intention of fighting with the northern underworld, and the autumn is high and the horse is fat, and the captives will come again, and they must grab some grass and grain for the winter." Every year, and this year will be no exception. At this time, the household department is the most difficult time, if someone deliberately frames him, the third brother is only afraid of danger. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't have anything to do, I heard from the third brother that the left and right ministers have sent someone to Yancheng to find out the truth. But it takes time to go back and forth, and the preparation of food and grass cannot be delayed. When Cao Dingwen was the secretary of the household department, the household department had been corrupted by him, and it was only difficult for the household department to prepare all the grain and grass. ”

Even if Song Nanzhen has worked hard since taking office, the hole in the household department is too big, and he can't completely fill it alone.

The emperor is also an emperor who loves the people, and he will definitely not easily increase taxes for the people, and if he does not increase the household department, there will be no source of replenishment. At this time, the granary of Yancheng was burned down again, which can be said to be worse.

Jiang Lun bowed slightly when he heard this, "The difficulty of the household is known to everyone in the court, but it is very difficult to solve it. ”

"Then you can only buy food."

"Buying grain?"

"Yes, since there is no surplus grain in the official warehouse, we can only buy grain from the grain merchants to tide over the current difficulties first."

"What you said is simple, the household has no money, how can I buy food?"

Song Nanyong also said: "This is also where I am embarrassed, so I came to consult my father-in-law." ”

Jiang Lun: ......

What a good son-in-law for him.

His father-in-law was also stumped and couldn't have a son.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and he is not a fairy, so he can conjure money and food by casting a spell.

Weng and his son-in-law sat opposite each other, both frowning.

Song Nanyong accompanied his father-in-law and talked for a while, and then went home with his wife after eating at his father-in-law's house.

Song Nanyong's heart was slightly relieved, he handed the words to his father-in-law, as long as his father-in-law could buy grain from the people in front of the two fathers, then the third brother's dilemma would have a chance to be solved.

Although the Xie family is a cloth merchant, Xie Jinshu has known a lot of merchants in the past few years in the capital, and has a good relationship with Concubine Ming and the Xie family, Xie Jinshu's sister is also married to Ji Yunting, and Ji Yunting supervised the transportation of grain and grass last time, speaking of which, everyone is closely related to this matter.

Only by dragging Zuo Xiang's son to the third brother's boat, Zuo Xiang will not deliberately embarrass the third brother, but on the contrary, he will do his best to be thoughtful about this matter, after all, he can't ruin his son's opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

In this way, Yancheng will be able to pass this pass.

Song Nanyong went back to his house to rest for a day, divided the labor with his wife, asked his wife to visit Xie Linlang, and went to see Xie Jinshu, in order not to attract attention, he went out early in the morning and directly blocked Xie Jinshu at home.

At this time, Song Yunzhao didn't know about Yancheng, but he was also worried about the grain and grass, her father was the head of the household, and if he didn't prepare the grain and grass effectively, he would definitely be impeached and suppressed by the opponent.

How many people are staring at the position of the head of the household, and there is a chance to definitely press her father down.

Preparing grain and grass is a big deal, and other emperors may increase taxes and exploit the people, but she knows that Feng Yi will not do this.

Then I have to think of something else.

She is now trapped in the four corners of the palace wall, what can she do, Feng Yi is not here, she can't even get out of the palace gate.

It's not her nature to be beaten passively, so she can only give it a try.

After the incident of Baojiaolou, the Tao family is now notorious, and even the Guen Houfu and the Queen Mother have lost face, but the cooperation with the Ling family has not continued, and Yun Zhao has never mentioned it to Ling Yunhe.

This person can bear his temperament, and he is not in a hurry to ask Xie Jinshu to intercede for him.

This person is a good material for business, Song Yunzhao thought about it and wrote a letter to Xie Jin, asking her to convey it to Ling Yunhe, Ling Yunhe wanted to continue to do business with Bao Xianglou, and he had to do something for her first.

That's buying grain.

Song Yunzhao counted the money earned by the treasure makeup building during these days, a drop in the bucket, with her own strength, she couldn't afford the three armies, but no matter how difficult it was, she had to make up a little bit of it.

And Xie Jinshu and Ling Yunhe are both smart people, they are in business families, they must be rich, do they have to show their loyalty in the face of national disasters?

If they take the lead, will others follow suit and do some good deeds?

This is just her own idea, whether it can be successful depends on the ability of these two people.

Xie Jinshu saw off the newly appointed Ning Anbo on the front foot, and before he could ease up, he received a letter from Concubine Ming.

After reading Concubine Ming's letter, Xie Jinshu's eyes lit up, isn't this way coming?

Oops, this luck!

Xie Jinshu patted his head hard, why didn't he think of this solution?

Ning Anbo said that he quietly bought grain in private, but the grain merchant's grain is not something you want to give, the merchant pursues profits, if there is a war with the Northern Underworld, the price of grain will inevitably rise, and the grain merchant will definitely make a lot of money by pinching the grain.

There are not enough benefits, who wants to work in vain without earning silver.

But isn't it now?

If he can say that he can move several major grain merchants to donate grain, or sell it to the court at a low price, then he will be able to ask Concubine Ming to speak well in front of the emperor as a representative of the grain merchants.

With this glorious person praised by the Son of Heaven, do local governments dare to embarrass them easily?

The more Xie Jinshu thought about it, the more excited he became, he had to plan this matter carefully.

If it doesn't mean that the concubine is really smart, the trick of the empty glove white wolf is really wonderful.

He has to learn, learn well.

Concubine Ming told him that this matter was secret, and he knew in his heart that he must be paving the way for Song Shangshu, who let the Song family have a household Shangshu, if it wasn't for her own father, Concubine Ming could do her best?

Xie Jinshu quietly went to see Ling Yunhe, whether Ling Yunhe can successfully get out of the Ling family and whether he can break free from the quagmire depends on this time.

On the other side, after Xie Linlang sent the eldest lady away, she sat alone for a long time, and after sorting things out thoroughly, her eyebrows were furrowed, her father-in-law would not easily talk about what her husband did, and she didn't dare to talk about the court in front of him as a daughter-in-law.

Then you can only start with the mother-in-law, the husband and wife are one, and the mother-in-law is worried that her son will urge her husband to make it convenient, and there is still hope to achieve her goal.

But how to let the mother-in-law know about this, with the bad relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they must not tell her from her mouth, otherwise they are afraid that it will have the opposite effect.

She needs to think about it.
