Chapter 002: A million stone grain will be auctioned
The gate of Wuling County.
Pedestrians and cars are endless, and it is very lively.
Fang Yuan took the county clerk and the chief bookkeeper to stare at passers-by in a corner outside the county gate.
To be precise, it was the county clerk and the chief bookkeeper who stared at the passers-by, and Fang Yuan sat on the side drinking chilled watermelon juice.
However, more than an hour passed, and the few possible characters found were not the emperor, and when I went to talk for a while, I knew that it was not the emperor.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Fang Yuan had no intention of waiting here, thinking that it would be better to think more about tomorrow's grain auction if he had this time.
So he got up and patted his crumpled official uniform and was about to leave.
"County honor, county honor, aren't you waiting?"
Zhang San hurriedly approached Fang Yuan and asked respectfully.
"No waiting."
"I'm going to wait for you."
Fang Yuan Gu walked back to the county gate.
"County Zun, wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
Zhang San chased after Fang Yuan and persuaded.
However, Fang Yuan ignored him and didn't look back and left.
Fang Yuan had already walked to the gate of the city, and he still heard someone shouting about the county honor.
thought it was still Zhang San calling him, so he ignored it, until someone patted him on the shoulder and reacted, it was not Zhang San's voice.
Looking back, Fang Yuan was suddenly shocked in his heart, what an extraordinary temperament!
Not only that, but the other party is elegant and noble but not losing its might, the posture of the dragon and phoenix, and the watch of the sky.
The slightly older middle-aged man behind him was also extraordinary, but his eyes were a little unkind.
"Did you call me?"
Fang Yuan responded politely with a friendly attitude.
I guessed in my heart that the man in front of me wouldn't be Li Shimin, who was interviewed privately by Weifu, right?
"Yes, are you the county lord of Wuling County?"
Li Shimin looked at Fang Yuan excitedly.
At the same time, he looked at Fang Yuan, and secretly sighed in his heart that Fang Yuan was a personable young man.
is so young, it is estimated that he is already the county magistrate of Wuling County in his early twenties, and he is not dissatisfied when he is disturbed by a stranger, which shows that he has a good character.
Or it's your own dream of being a virtuous minister!
"Exactly, this official source, may I ask you ......"
Fang Yuan nodded and reported his name.
Although he suspected that the other party might be Emperor Li Shimin.
But judging from the current situation, the other party cannot be Emperor Li Shimin.
If it was the emperor, even if it was a private visit from Weifu, it would be impossible for a person of that status to look at him so excitedly.
And when the emperor travels, the security work must be thorough, and there must be no fewer people to protect him, but there are only two of them.
To say that the middle-aged man behind him was a guard, Fang Yuan would not believe it, the other party was sick, and he could kill three of them with one punch.
"My name is Li Daye, and I'm from Longxi."
"This is my housekeeper, just call Lao Du."
Li Shimin has already thought about it and will not reveal his identity for the time being.
Because it was a private interview with Weifu, he had no intention of revealing his identity.
Secondly, considering that Fang Yuan may be Ying Mengxianchen, he wants to clearly understand how Fang Yuan is a person and an official, so as to determine whether to reuse it in the future.
Li Daye, possibly a pseudonym!
Longxi, it may also be fake!
But considering the other party's look towards him, Fang Yuan was basically sure that the other party was not Emperor Li Shimin.
"Fortunately, I don't know what the official is talking about?"
Fang Yuan nodded and said indifferently.
Since he is not the emperor, there is no need to be polite.
"I am in the grain business, and this year there has been a drought and locust plague in many places, and there is a serious shortage of food."
"I heard that there is grain for sale in your county, so I came here to ...... The county can rest assured that the price is not a problem. ”
Li Shimin's fists clenched slightly, and his heart slowly became nervous.
He hadn't actually heard of it, but said it himself.
If Fang Yuan was his own Ying Mengxian minister, then there would definitely be a way to help him solve the problem of the guilty edict, and the biggest problem of the guilty edict was the problem of food.
As long as the grain problem is solved, then the rumors will be self-defeating, the people's will will be restored, and there will be no need to issue an edict for their own crimes.
Therefore, he guessed that Fang Yuan had grain, and Wuling County had grain!
"I see, Boss Li has come to the right place."
"Our county will have one million stone of grain to be sold tomorrow in the form of bidding, and the one with the highest price will get it."
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he smiled again, becoming more polite.
It turned out that another God of Wealth had arrived, so it had to be welcomed.
Tomorrow is the day of grain harvest in Wuling County, and it is also the day of the first grain auction sale.
These days, the caravans from all over the country have entered Wuling County, waiting for tomorrow's grain auction to sell.
Fang Yuan thought that Li Shimin was also one of the insiders, that is, a person from a certain caravan, and he no longer doubted that the other party was Emperor Li Shimin.
This year, grain in Wuling County has reached a new high, but drought and locust plagues have occurred in many places, and the grain harvest has not been good, and it has been wreaked havoc, and there is no grain in various places.
Fang Yuan was worried that he would be forcibly transferred away by the imperial court after knowing that Wuling County was highly productive, so he only used commercial channels to contact caravans from all over the world to come to bid, and the official information was well concealed.
"A million stones?!"
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui exclaimed in surprise.
Both of them looked incredulous, thinking they had misheard.
It is not for nothing that a county can produce millions of stones, but that is when the wind and rain are good.
This year, the world is suffering from a severe drought and a locust plague, and there is little grain in the whole country.
The first reaction of the two was that Fang Yuan deceived them, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, they felt that it was impossible, the two sides met for the first time, and it was even more unnecessary for the other party to be the honor of a county.
"County Zun, hurry up and take us to have a look."
Li Shimin said excitedly.
He couldn't wait to see the grain grown in Wuling County.
That is not only food, but also the lives of the people in the world, and the most powerful counterattack to solve their own sins.
"Boss Li, don't worry, it's not early now, and the official will personally take you there early tomorrow morning."
"Here, please, I'll take you to the State Guest House for one night."
Fang Yuan smiled.
Make a gesture of please and walk in a certain direction in the city.
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, still with a deep excitement in their eyes.
But neither of them is an ordinary person, they quickly controlled their emotions, and they also understood that now that the sun had set, and the two of them had walked for so long, they should see it again tomorrow.
As soon as the two of them followed into the city, they once again felt the extraordinaryness of Wuling County, the city was full of people, and there were many convoys full of goods.
Soon, the two followed Shangyuan and came to the door of a luxurious and atmospheric inn, with two neatly dressed guys standing on both sides of the door, and a plaque directly above the door: State Guest House!
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were surprised, it was obviously a relatively luxurious inn, why did they call the State Guest House such a strange name?
Just when both of them were confused, the little guys standing on both sides of the door bowed at the same time and made a gesture of invitation:
"Welcome to the guest house, the State Guest House will provide you with the best quality service at 12 hours, so that you can truly feel at home."
The two of them were startled and looked at Fang Yuan on the side.
Among the crowds of people coming and going around, there were more than a dozen ordinary people who almost rushed towards Li Shimin and the others.
"Hehehe, this is the most high-end hotel in Wuling County, you will rest here for a night, and tomorrow morning I will ask you to visit the fertile fields and bid."
Fang Yuan smiled, and also made a gesture of invitation.
"Then tomorrow I will wait for the summons of the county honorable."
Li Shimin also smiled and walked into the guest house with Du Ruhui.
