As the first person to carry the pot in the household, Liu Tong thought that he would be able to get rid of the fate of carrying the pot by being promoted to Langzhong, but he was obviously too optimistic.

It was not Pan Huang who threw the pot at him this time, Pan Huang is human, he will not always have a sheep's hair, and he will not always let a subordinate carry the blame. But Yan Song's password was transmitted to the household department, and someone had to carry it out, so Pan Huang was very hesitant about who should take the blame this time.

That's right, as an old oilman in officialdom, Pan Shangshu only has a password from Yan Song, not a warrant, so he knows that this is definitely an errand to take the blame.

There is no credit for doing a good job, not only will it offend Yan Song, but if something happens, Yan Song will never admit that he said it, and absolutely no one dares to argue with him about it in front of Long Live .

Just when Pan Shangshu was worried, the second-in-command Zuo Shilang Tantong stepped forward: "My lord, you don't need to worry about this matter, just leave it to the lower officials to arrange." Pan Shangshu was overjoyed, praised him very much, and then let him deal with it with all his powers.

Tan Tong returned to his duty room and immediately asked the errand runner to call Liu Tong in. Liu Tong walked into Tan Tong's duty room nervously: "My lord, what do you command?" ”

Tan Tong smiled kindly: "Yan Shoufu has a password to order the household department to collect glutinous rice in the capital for use." It's not a big deal, but it's a good opportunity to practice your organizational skills. I immediately remembered you, you have just been promoted to Langzhong, and you haven't undertaken anything independently, so I'll leave this matter to you, remember, at least 600 stone glutinous rice will do. ”

Although Liu Tong didn't know why this happened to him, he still had basic vigilance: "My lord, what is the use of so much glutinous rice?" Besides, I'm afraid there is no boundary in the capital, so I have to let the grain merchants go out to find it. ”

Tan Tong shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry about what you do, in short, you received this errand." I'm afraid that only Zhang Tianci has glutinous rice in the hands of grain merchants, but let me point you out, all the construction teams in the capital have glutinous rice in their hands, more than dozens of stones, less than a dozen stones, all of them are bought, and it is not too much to get together five or six hundred stones. ”

Liu Tong wanted to refuse, but Tan Tong stared at him, so he had to take the task ticket, return to his duty room, and gather the staff and errand boys under his charge to figure out a way together.

When one of his subordinates heard this, he paused and said, "My lord, you shouldn't take this matter!" I've heard that Tan Kee Construction has recently been buying glutinous rice at a high price, but it can't be bought at all. They've tripled the price, and they can't buy it, so how can you buy it? ”

Liu Tong was taken aback, he definitely didn't care about the glutinous rice market, he didn't expect this thing to be so difficult! When he thought that this matter involved the construction of the talk record, it must be a project involving the concept of WTO accession, and he suddenly knew that he had been calculated by the talker.

That talk is also the backstage of the Shengshi Grain Bank, and it was clouded by Xiao Feng on glutinous rice before, and now this is to find the field.

If you get things done, it is nothing more than helping Tan Tong, Tan Xinren to get through the difficulties, and naturally Tan Tong will also benefit greatly. If you don't get things done, although you have suffered losses, you can take the opportunity to punish yourself and vent your evil anger.

In short, there is no benefit inside and out!

But at this point, he can only bite the bullet and lead people to buy from house to house. Unsurprisingly, all the grain merchants said that there was very little glutinous rice on the market, and they could not buy it. Even Zhang Tianci said so!

Liu Tong knew that Zhang Tianci was lying, but he had no evidence. Although the household purchase is not small, it is actually a paper tiger. This is not the same as the last time sorghum was traded, it was an emergency military supply, Zhang Tianci could raise the price as much as he could, but he couldn't hoard it and not sell it.

And this purchase is just the ordinary purchase behavior of the household department, which is neither urgent nor necessary. Zhang Tianci just told him clearly, I have it, but I don't sell it, in fact, Liu Tong is not wrong. Of course, the household department could find a way to put on small shoes for Zhang Tianci afterwards, but at the moment, he has nothing to do.

But Zhang Tianci is still a smart man, he not only gives face to the household, but also gives Xiao Feng face in name, insisting that he has no glutinous rice, and he can't help.

Seeing that Zhang Tianci was not afraid of the household department, Liu Tong had no choice but to follow Tan Tong's advice and go to find the construction teams. He was not fighting alone, and when he arrived at the first construction team, he found that the Ministry of Engineering had also sent Lang Zhong to handle it together.

It seems that Zhao Wenhua was also anxious, and openly began to put pressure on the construction team. You must know that the construction team may not be afraid of the household department, but it must be afraid of the engineering department. Now that the two departments are working together, which team can not be afraid?

But the first boss shouted bitterly: "My lords, it's not that I don't want to sell glutinous rice to you, think about it, the price of glutinous rice in this capital city has tripled, if I had, I would have sold it a long time ago." The problem is that I really don't! ”

Liu Tong was also anxious, as a man who carried the blame, he had to behave: "Bold, the two departments jointly came to the door, you dare to lie?" The official of the Ministry of Industry next to him immediately cooperated: "Don't you want to do this business in the future?" ”

The boss jumped to his feet and shouted: "Adults, if you don't believe it, my family, in the team, you can search!" Find a grain of glutinous rice and copy my house! Hit me on the board! All of them! ”

Liu Tong and the people from the Ministry of Industry couldn't take care of being reserved, so they really led people to search wildly. Two hours later, the two groups met in disgrace, there was no at home, there was no in the team, there was really not a grain of glutinous rice!

In order to resist this search, even the seasonal glutinous rice steamed cakes are not eaten at the boss's house!

Governor Liu Tongqing was strange, but he didn't have time to think about it, and the two people immediately rushed to the next construction team.

The second construction team is more profitable than the first one, and the boss really has half a bag of glutinous rice at home. The boss looked at Liu Tong pitifully: "Adult, the child wants to eat glutinous rice cakes, but I bought it from the black market in the alley on the street at a high price, why don't you take this half bag of rice away?" Even if the villain honors the adults! ”

Liu Tong didn't come to raid the house, can he really take half a bag of rice from others? Besides, this bit of rice is a fart! Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Industry was probably forced by Zhao Wenhua, and he really wanted to take out the silver and buy the half bag of rice!

The boss's youngest son quit and cried: "Dad, I want to eat glutinous rice cakes, don't sell rice, I want to eat glutinous rice cakes!" ”

The crying was quite loud, attracting a group of onlookers. The worst of these construction team owners is also a well-off family, and there are no poor people. Now for such a little glutinous rice, it's like a broken family and can't go on! Who isn't curious?

Liu Tong glared at the Ministry Lang Zhong angrily, who blushed and put down the half bag of rice that he was going to carry on his back. Langzhong, a dignified official of the Ministry of Labor, is a five-grade official, and he snatched a mouthful of glutinous rice cake from the mouths of other children's mouths like robbing a house, which is really embarrassing and thrown home.

One after another, all the construction teams are almost identical, and the team at home searches casually, and if I find glutinous rice, I lose. After the last search, Liu Tong couldn't help but explode, grabbed the boss's collar and shouted: "Tell me honestly, where did the glutinous rice go?" ”

The boss was really frightened by Liu Tong, so he reluctantly pulled Liu Tong aside and whispered: "My lord, let me tell you the truth, the glutinous rice of our construction team was sold to Zhang Tianci, and he collected it at three times the price." ”

Liu Tong said angrily: "The household department is also willing to collect it at three times the price, why are you unwilling to sell?" ”

The boss shook his head and said: "There is something that can't be explained, who doesn't know that the household department collects glutinous rice in order to help build a conversation?" If we sell rice to the household, we will wait for our peers to raid our homes. ”

Liu Tong asked again, but the boss refused to say anything. Liu Tong also knows that the construction team is completely out of play, and now there is only one Zhang Tianci left. But let Zhang Tianci spit out the glutinous rice, unless he directly leads the troops to rob it.

But this is a commercial act, even if it is six, it can't be so arrogant.

Liu Tong returned home worried, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard his son shouting: "Glutinous rice, there is glutinous rice!" ”

Liu Tong had been tossed so reflexively this day, he immediately jumped up: "Glutinous rice!" Where's the glutinous rice? ”

Shouting as he ran into the back hall. I saw the lady sitting in the middle of the back hall, smiling at what her children were fiddling with there.

Liu Tong looked left and right: "What glutinous rice?" What did Peng'er say about glutinous rice? ”

The housekeeper chased in from behind and whispered to Liu Tong: "Master, this matter is a small negligence." Glutinous rice is very easy to buy every year, but this year, for some reason, it has not been possible to buy glutinous rice on the street since ten days ago. The young lady and the young master all wanted to eat glutinous rice cakes, but the villain had no choice but to ask from one grain store to another.

This is still a coincidence, I met a coincidence in the Tianci grain store, and I heard that the young lady wanted to eat it, so the shopkeeper secretly sold me a bag. No, the freshly made glutinous rice cake, the lord will have a piece while it's hot? ”

Only then did Liu Tong see clearly that his daughter and son were really eating around a plate of glutinous rice cakes.

Thinking that Zhang Tianci obviously had a lot of glutinous rice, but he refused to sell it and refused to let him unload the pot on his body, he was suddenly furious, and he couldn't wait to slam this plate of glutinous rice cake on the ground and step on 10,000 feet to vent his hatred.

He rushed forward and grabbed the plate of glutinous rice cakes, Liu Xueer and Liu Peng immediately looked at him vigilantly, held down the plate at the same time, and shouted in unison: "Mother!" ”

Mrs. Liu bounced up from the chair like a spring, pointed at Liu Tong and asked, "What do you want to do?" The voice was stern and shriek, like a silver needle.

Liu Tong was suddenly deflated like a balloon pierced by a silver needle, and looked at the plate in his hand blankly. Then he picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake, stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered angrily while eating: "Zu Xun, Zu Xun, don't forget Zu Xun!" You can't waste food! ”

At this time, after Zhao Wenhua got the reply from the Ministry of Works, he had already overturned the table.

Tan Xinren, who was sitting opposite him, was covered in wine and vegetable soup, but he didn't feel anything, he just looked at Zhao Wenhua blankly, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth.

"Lord Zhao, otherwise, let's grab it!"
