Chapter 6: Messaging Channels

The young man's eyes lit up. The smile instantly became sincere.

"Yo, it turned out to be Boss Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, rare guests, please inside, our shopkeeper is in the backyard. The little one will help you shout out. ”

Di Ying nodded, and paced to the room where the distinguished guests were received.

He started this carriage and horse shop.

The owner on the bright side is Di Shun. Nai Di Ying's hair is small.

At a very young age, Di Ying had a master who was very good at medical skills and autopsy, and the biggest thing he and his master always pondered was the circulation of news channels.

The master said: No matter what he wants to do in the future, this must be there.

And the most inconspicuous and the most frequent travel between places is the carriage and horse shop.

If Di Ying wants to establish such a news channel, he needs to be the owner on the surface, and the candidate is particularly important.

He carefully selected Di Shun in Dijia Village for more than ten years, and only then did he pick Di Shun from the friends who grew up wearing open crotch pants together.

Di Shun was almost choked to death by the apricot kernel when he was a child, and was saved by Di Ying.

Di Shun is really capable.

It's not good to study when you're a child.,But it's very clever and intelligent.。 And since he was saved by Di Ying, he has obeyed Di Ying's words.

Di Ying wanted to train him well. Every time I go out to take an exam, whether it is the children's exam, or the government exam or the Beijing exam in further places, I will bring Di Shun with me.

Not only can they take the opportunity to do some small transactions to make money such as transporting goods from the south to the north and sending goods from the north to the west, but also to familiarize them with the situation in various places, as well as exercise Di Shun's eloquence and ability to communicate with people.

After the nomination of Di Ying's gold list, the first "road to traffic" appeared in Bingzhou.

This was instructed by Di Ying's master before he died.

The master told him: "Since you are determined to serve the law and the people, you cannot cover your ears and nose. After cultivating the news manpower, you have to use it in practice, and the first stop is to open it in Bingzhou City. ”

Di Ying remembered, so Di Shun came to Bingzhou at that time and opened this carriage and horse shop.

"Brother Ying, you're finally here. Tell me about you, it's been a few months since you took office in Bingzhou before you came to see my brother. I don't know how hard it is for me to come in the wind and go in the rain? No conscience. ”

As soon as Di Ying sat down in the reception room, Di Shun blew in like a gust of wind.

Closing the door, Di Shun "crackled" and began to "complain".

In his eyes, he looked excited.

Di Ying was also excited.

They brothers, but they haven't seen each other for more than a year.

It felt like a long time ago.

But it was as if they had just separated yesterday.

Di Ying raised his fist and touched the opponent's fist.

Then he looked serious and lowered his voice: "Do you know what is going on with the grain seed? ”

"I knew you were here to ask about things. Alas, I don't care about my brother, whether I'm living well or not. ”

Di Shun continued to complain when he heard the questioning.

is as chubby as Di Ying, but the face is a few shades darker, but it is also serious.

whispered back, "I've really been waiting for you for a long time." You should have asked about these things a long time ago. ”

As he spoke, he took the pen and paper that had been kept on hand next to him to fill out the bill of goods for the customer, and said while drawing.

"The water system of Bingzhou is developed, not to mention the Weishui in the southeast, that is, the Fenshui outside the city, all of which go directly to the canal.

As you know, there is a dam upstream of the canal.

If there is a big rainy season that year, the dam will inevitably collapse.

If the water rushes down, the Fen River will also flood, and a large number of villages and fields in the north of the state city will be washed away. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Di Ying suddenly got up.

"What do you mean...... They used this as an excuse to ask the imperial court to allocate grain for disaster relief, and then they detained and resold all the grain.

And what sent the people away was old grain, old grain?

And that's not all, right? Those people usually collude with grain merchants to go to various places to collect large quantities of old grain and replace it with new grain every year.

According to the direction of the canal, all the new grain was sold to the west. Right?! ”

As he spoke, Di Ying slammed his fist on the table.

His chest rose and fell violently: "In order to ensure a bumper grain harvest, I will not do anything about grain seeds in previous years." It's just that there was no heavy rainy season last year, and the grain harvest was already poor.

And because they are becoming more and more greedy and have a growing appetite, they have already sold all the new grain.

Now that it's not raining, they can't break the embankment, and there is a problem with the grain.

If I am not mistaken, the people who came to make noise have been arrested by the soldiers and horses of the Governor's Mansion and put in the prison of the Assassin's Mansion.

The grain merchants have also urgently raised funds in other state towns, and will only let those people out when the good grain is planted.

I think it's been a few batches......

Today I was at the Laiwan Wharf and found that there were grain ships docked and transported. ”

"Well, that's right."

Di Shun took over the conversation and continued: "They originally wanted to wait for the rainy season this year to break the embankment, and when the relief grain allocated by the imperial court arrived, it would be used as grain to make up for the deficit in the granary.

But people are not as good as heaven. This year's rainy season came late, and it didn't rain much, only a little drizzle all the time.

The rise in the river is slight. They can no longer use this as an excuse to burst the levee. I had to raise money first. ”

"No,"

Di Ying quickly calmed himself down after throwing a punch.

He sat down and carefully analyzed: "According to the degree of greed they have, it is impossible for them to spend a lot of money out of their own pockets to buy grain.

It was already raining lightly, and they were able to break the levee first.

Almost all of the rice that has been raised now is stale grain that has been harvested at a low price.

No wonder food prices have been high lately. The good grain they harvested, at this juncture, still refused to be allocated to the people, but they happened to be able to make a lot of money. ”

"What are you going to do then?!"

Di Shun was anxious when he heard this. The round eyes widened.

The light rain has been drifting for two days, and if it is really like Di Ying said, they are going to break the embankment, if nothing else, it will be within one or two days.

After all, the imperial court allocated grain and grass, and it will take some time to transport it here.

A large number of people will make a fuss because of the price of grain and the type of grain, and when the time comes, the Governor's Office will send troops to "suppress" it......

That's all a life!

"Don't worry, sit down first and listen to me."

Di Ying sat down Di Shunla, his mind spun quickly, and then he was given a task after task.

……

At night, the light rain is still drifting, just like the largest flower boat on the Fen River, gently swaying in the rain and mist.

On the boat, Ma Xinggui, the eldest son of Ma Guangjin, the governor of Bingzhou, and She Yanbo, the eldest son of She Jianhong, the assassin of Bingzhou, were listening to small songs and drinking flower wine.

A beautiful room with infinite warm light.

In the same cabin, there are also the governor of the Assassin Mansion, Meng Zhenyao of Meng Zenglu's family, and Wu Jicai, the deputy governor's family.

Ma Xinggui's father was in charge of the military power of the state, so naturally he didn't have to take others seriously.

After drinking two glasses, he smiled at Meng Zhenyao and asked, "You can still come out to drink flower wine now, it seems that your stepmother is very broad-minded." ”
