Chapter 32 Wine Bags and Rice Bags

Hearing this, Zhou Mi couldn't help but gasp.

As if he couldn't believe his ears, he looked at Su Chen in front of him: "Two hundred thousand stones? ”

"Not bad!"

Su Chen nodded slightly.

At this time, Zhou Mi was already completely stunned.

In his own grain depot in Dazhou, it is not so easy to take out 200,000 stones at once, and many of them are strategic reserve grains.

In fact, there is no way to use it.

Su Chen actually dared to open such an opening?

How much grain is there in Yazhou? Zhou Mi is a little unimaginable.

"Price!"

Zhou Mi forced himself to calm down and asked two words.

It is naturally best to be able to take out the grain, but this profiteer cannot let go of this good opportunity. Nowadays, the price of the Shendu is about enough to buy five stones of grain for one tael of silver.

"That's it!"

Su Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I don't want silver for these grains!" ”

"Oh?"

Zhou Mi looked at Su Chen in front of him, and his eyes widened instantly.

Su Chen sighed, and then continued: "The disaster relief thing is the most important thing, and this thing is temporarily here for me." And the grain, I lent it to you. You don't need to pay any interest, but you can figure it out yourself! ”

"Time is running out!"

"There are a lot of people in the whole river, and there have been two years of drought and now it's winter. Natural and man-made disasters, I'm afraid that someone will not be able to support it soon! ”

"Disaster relief cannot be delayed!"

"I'm in charge of transporting things to the north, and at the same time, you also have to send a group of people from the Shendu to pick them up halfway!"

"In this way, the time can be reduced to a minimum!"

Su Chen's brows furrowed deeply: "Since it was borrowed, it is natural to pay it back." When you return the money from this house, plus the money and interest on coffee, and 200,000 stone of grain, I will also return this thing to you. How is it? ”

At this time, Zhou Mi looked at Su Chen in front of him with some meaning.

Su Chen is greedy for money, which Zhou Mi is particularly clear.

However, at this moment, Zhou Mi suddenly realized that he didn't recognize Su Chen.

"But!"

At this time, Su Chen's words changed, looked at Zhou Mi in front of him, and then said softly: "I also have a condition!" ”

"You say!"

When Zhou Mi heard Su Chen's words, he immediately felt a little flustered.

"This time, all the grain, two hundred thousand stones, was thrown to the people on the road to eat and feed the horses. You can't enter the Shendu and be transported directly to the river, and you can't be distributed by the officials of the river, you need to be unified by your people for disaster relief! ”

Su Chen's words were unprecedentedly calm.

Zhou Mi was stunned there, and then looked at Su Chen in front of him: "Are you worried that there are officials in Hejian who will use the food money for disaster relief?" Unlikely! ”

"The governor of Hejian Mansion is personally selected by His Majesty today, and he has been serving in Beijing for three years, and he has been working hard!"

"Meihuawei has also checked countless times!"

Zhou Mi's voice was a little solemn, she still trusted the person she selected.

"During his tenure, he has made a lot of achievements, only because he was born in Hejian and wanted to return to his hometown to report on his work, His Majesty allowed him to return to Hejian as an official, and directly named the official Yin!"

Su Chen glanced meaningfully at Zhou Mi in front of him.

This Zhou Mi really knows everything about the Shendu, and it is definitely not an easy thing for a princess to be able to master so many secrets. Could it be that she has an unsavory relationship with His Majesty today? I haven't heard of any scandals between His Majesty and the princess before?

"Huh!"

At this time, Su Chen slowly stood up, with a little helplessness in his eyes.

glanced at Zhou Mi meaningfully, and then continued: "People will change, different times, different environments, it is possible to change a person!" ”

"Not before, doesn't mean not now, not now, doesn't mean not in the future!"

Su Chen shook his head slightly and said: "People have two hearts, one is greedy, and the other is unwilling!" ”

Zhou Mi didn't know what to say for a while.

"Why do you say that? Could it be that you see something? Zhou Mi's voice was very soft.

"It's just a superficial calculation of a very clear account!"

Su Chen's voice was very soft, and he said lightly.

"What's the account?"

Zhou Mi's heart was more or less unconvinced.

"How much does Hejian Province need to pay for each year?" Su Chen's voice was very soft, and he asked quietly.

"Fifty percent!"

Zhou Mi pondered for a moment: "Because the land between the rivers is fertile and broad, suitable for farming, and the general life of the people is relatively rich, so the tax is a little higher!" ”

"Hmm!"

"Reasonable, too!"

Su Chen nodded lightly, these were not actually handed in by the people. but after the people have paid the grain tax. It was unified into the grain depot by Fu Yin, and after very fine calculations, it was handed over to the imperial court!

Other words.

Every year, Hejian Mansion can still leave fifty percent!

"Then let me ask you again, although the territory of Hejian Mansion is vast, it has not been warned, except for these two years, at other times, I have never heard of any natural and man-made disasters!"

"Even if we calculate, the entire Hejian Mansion will spend thirty percent on food alone!"

"In other words, there can be 20% surplus grain in their grain depot every year!"

"Don't do it, I'll give them forty percent of the expenditure!"

Su Chen's voice was a little contemptuous, and then he continued: "That can also be left." Yicheng's surplus grain, how many years has he served as the governor of Hejian Mansion? ”

Having said that, it won't be interesting anymore.

Zhou Mi let out a long breath and tried his best to stabilize his emotions.

Looking at Su Chen in front of him, he pondered for a moment before continuing: "The drought is indeed terrible, but as long as there is food, it is not unbearable. It's just that you need to find a water source, but between the rivers, between the nine rivers, even if there is a drought, then the nine rivers should not be cut off! ”

"Do you agree with that?"

Su Chen asked.

Zhou Mi didn't speak, but his face was pale, and he nodded slightly.

"As long as the governor of Hejian Mansion can arrange manpower to divert water, water and food, it is absolutely impossible for the people to not be able to support it for such a little time!"

"Then there are only two possibilities!"

"The first possibility, that is, the officials in the entire river room, all of them are wine bags and rice bags, and it is impossible for me to hand over the grain to them!"

"As for the second possibility......"

Su Chen smiled faintly and didn't continue, just looked at Zhou Mi with interest.
