When Lao Wang heard this, he fell to his knees in fright, trembling: "Lord Zhou, the villain really doesn't know anything." The villain didn't do anything bad, I really don't know why the fish in the other fish ponds died, but the fish in the villain's fish ponds were fine, it was really not the villain's doing. Even if the villain is given a hundred dares, the villain will not dare to do such an unreasonable thing. ”

Obviously, Mr. Yan asked him to buy these fish ponds, thinking of this, his eyes lit up: "It was Mr. Yan who asked the villain to buy the fish pond, even if someone did something bad, it was not small, it was probably Mr. Yan'......"

Zhou Du saw that Lao Wang was trembling with fright, stepped forward to help him up, and said softly: "I'm just asking casually, what are you panicking about?" ”

Lao Wang said in his heart that this is a fatal matter, can he not panic?

After that, Zhou Du asked Lao Wang a few more questions, and then went to the homes of ordinary people with fish ponds nearby to inquire about the situation.

The answer he got was the same result, the fish raised by these people were all dying due to heavy rains, and some of the fish ran away from the fish pond, and it was a natural disaster that caused the blood loss of fish farming.

Lao Wang's acres of fish ponds have not been affected by the topography, and all this is not man-made.

On the way back to the capital, Qi Zhiyuan chattered endlessly: "That Mr. Yan is really a god, and as soon as he said it casually, he asked Lao Wang to buy a fish pond that would lay golden eggs." There are also 2,000 acres of wasteland in the southern suburbs, which were bought at a low price, and the land price has increased more than tenfold after this rainstorm......"

"Zhiyuan, do you think it's just a coincidence?" Zhou Dui, who had been silent for a long time, interrupted Qi Zhiyuan's words.

Qi Zhiyuan was stunned for a while, and then said, "If these are all coincidences, it is too terrible." ”

"It's really terrifying, as if Mr. Yan can predict the prophet. He may have known in advance that there was this rainstorm, that the wasteland could be turned into fertile soil, and that he could make a lot of money from the few acres of fish ponds that Lao Wang bought. A cold smile appeared on Zhou Dui's lips, and the smile dispersed before he reached the bottom of his eyes: "After he did this series of things, the world evaporated, and he never showed his face again, Xu knew that I would track down his whereabouts." ”

Qi Zhiyuan listened to it with a hairy heart: "That Mr. Yan is not a monster, right?" ”

"Even if it's a monster, I'm going to make him visible. However, I have a way to force Mr. Yan to show up. ”

Zhou Dui's cold voice came from the carriage into Qi Zhiyuan's ears, and his eyes lit up: "What method?" ”

"Throw Rong Song into Dali Temple, torture him, and force him to truthfully confess Mr. Yan's whereabouts. Or use Rong Song as bait to let Mr. Yan take the bait. The corners of Zhou Dui's lips curled slightly.

Qi Zhiyuan was dumbfounded for a while, and after a while, he said: "Miss Su and Miss Gu have a very close personal relationship, and Rong Si and Miss Su are married, if Miss Gu knows that Rong Si was thrown into Dali Temple by the son......"

If he doesn't say the rest, Childe should know that it's hard to be good, right?

It took a while for the voice of the son to come from the carriage: "Rong Si is also righteous and evil, if he takes the wrong road, he has Mr. Yan's support behind him, but he is afraid of endless disasters." First of all, he took the land in the southern suburbs, and then opened a grain stack, and planted tens of thousands of acres of grain in Mocheng, so that in less than three years, Rong Si is likely to become a figure who shakes the livelihood of the people of the Great Jin Dynasty. Regarding the livelihood of the people of Dajin, I have to guard against four. I'm most afraid that he will collude with Zhou Xing, if that's the case, I will definitely make a move against Rong Si. ”

Even if Xi Yan had a very personal relationship with Su Mei, he had to find a way to get rid of Rong Si.

"King Qin did want to recruit Rong Si, and Gongzi's worries are not unreasonable." Qi Zhiyuan said with a straight face: "If the prince wants to take down Rong Si, his subordinates will personally go to get people." ”

"Don't worry, send someone to keep an eye on Rong Song first, and the Qin Wangfu side should also watch closely, and pay attention to whether Zhou Xing and Rong Si are colluding. I won't be moved until the necessary moment. "Zhou Du still cares about Gu Xiyan in the end.

Qi Zhiyuan thought of Mr. Yan's character, and his head was also big: "It would be good if I could know who Mr. Yan is, this person has never come forward again, it is estimated that only Rong Si knows who Mr. Yan is." Otherwise, let Miss Gu go to Miss Su to set up the fourth? ”

Zhou Du twitched the corners of his eyes, "I don't want to put Xiyan in a dangerous situation. Let Xiyan come forward, it is better for me to approach Rong Si myself. ”

Qi Zhiyuan could only sigh in his heart, Childe used to do whatever he wanted, but now for Miss Gu, Miss Gu will be a weakness that Childe can't pick up in the future.

That afternoon, Rong Song was supervising the progress of the grain stack in Bafang Hutong, when suddenly a crimson figure came into view.

The person who came was slender, with a loose posture, clear eyebrows and elegant eyes, and a clear temperament.

He walked in the bright sky, not like a mortal.

It was Zhou Dusk.

"Childe?!" Rong Song was surprised that someone like Zhou Dui would appear in such a place.

Zhou Du sat down opposite Rong Song: "I heard that the street of Bafang Hutong has been taken down by you, so I came over to take a look." ”

Rong Song remembered that Zhou Du was a household official, and it seemed reasonable to care about these things, plus Zhou Du was Xi Yan's fiancé, so he didn't have any vigilance.

"I thought that there were only two Taicangs in the entire capital, and for the huge capital, food was quite important, so I thought about doing business in this area. If you can do a good job of the grain stack, you should be able to earn some silver in the future. Rong Song said, pouring tea for Zhou Dusk.

These were all Xiyan's ideas, and he was just helping her implement them.

Since Zhou Du entered the household department as an official, he knew what the biggest drawback of his father's political achievements was, that is, he did not pay attention to food production.

Anyone who dares to make a fuss about food can easily lead to a series of civil strife.

This is not just a problem of his father, but since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, all the ancestors did not value food. Because there has never been chaos, so that each generation of emperors has continued the practice of their ancestors.

"If your grain stack is doing well, have you ever thought about becoming an imperial merchant?" Zhou Dusk probed without a trace.

Because of the fiancée relationship between Xiyan and Zhou Dui, Rong Song never expected that Zhou Dui was testing himself.

He remembered Gu Xiyan's original intention of opening the grain store, not mainly for cheap silver, but for the people to have enough food and clothing. If you can become an imperial businessman, you will have more right to speak, right?

"Of course I thought about it, but it's not so easy to become an imperial merchant, just wait for the grain stack to open up in the future before making plans." Rong Song replied.

Zhou Dui's eyes flashed slightly, and his heart was really ambitious. If you really want to become an imperial businessman, won't you be able to control food prices even more?

"Do you open a grain store mainly to make money?" Zhou Du asked again.

Rong Song smiled dumbly: "Of course, doing business is to make money, but it's not quite. ”

Zhou Du was interested when he heard this: "How do you say this?" ”

Rong Si is a businessman, from a business family, who originally only focused on profits, but at this moment he said that it was not entirely true.
