On the wharf, the autumn wind hunts, blowing people's clothes flying.

Ji Wuyin and Gu Huaisheng are old and young, standing opposite each other.

Ji Wuyin's face was full of red light, and his spirit was very good.

In contrast, Gu Huaisheng was a little less angry.

"Shopkeeper Ji, the juniors wish you a safe journey here."

Even if there is a wide cloak to cover it, it can still be seen that Gu Huaisheng has lost a lot, Ji Wuyin sighed, the ship is difficult to turn around, and he can't help himself.

He patted Gu Huaisheng on the shoulder, didn't say anything, everything was silent, "No matter what, take care of yourself." ”

"Thank you." Gu Huaisheng's attitude was polite and detached, not as familiar as before.

The relationship between people is like this, and it changes because of the change in position. Ji Wuyin has experienced a lot and can see it.

Ji Wuyin is leaving, Gu Huaisheng is going to send it, Xie Zhan knows this.

What Xie Zhan didn't know was that Ji Wuyin did not go north directly, but transferred to Xuzhou halfway, and then arrived in Luoyang from Xuzhou. This time, Liaodong County's plan for Nanyang was coordinated by him.

And with Ji Wuyin's departure, Ji's various branches in the Central Plains also moved.

At this time, Xie Zhan didn't have time to pay attention to Ji's side, and he was now paying full attention to the progress of Zhang Xian's disaster relief in Nanyang.

Nanyang's disaster relief efforts have not been effective.

In contrast, his previous achievements in managing the disaster in Nandi were much better than those in Nanyang, and it can be said that he handed in an answer sheet that satisfied the emperor.

Xie Zhan felt that it was good for Ji Wuyin to leave the southland, because he would also leave the southland for a while, and if Ji Wuyin was still in the southland, he would not be at ease.

Xie Bai sorted out the news of Nanyang and reported it to Xie Zhan, "The head of the family, the wealthy merchants around the area have jointly established the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce, and the price of grain in Nanyang and the surrounding areas has been raised to two hundred and sixty wen a bucket. ”

Xie Nan gasped.

When Xie Zhan heard the news, his eyebrows were still cold, obviously not very surprised by this result.

Due to various reasons, this year's grain prices have been high for a long time, and the grain price reached 300 wen per bucket at its peak.

In the middle of the year, the summer grain in Jianghuai and Huai came down, and the price of grain rebounded, and in many places a bucket of grain only needed about 150 wen. If the wind and rain are good, food prices will drop even more at the end of the year.

The southerly sun moved. Nanyang has always belonged to the granary of the Central Plains, and if something happens to the granary, the price of grain will definitely not be stable.

The grain merchants' chamber of commerce, which was established by wealthy businessmen in the Nanyang area, directly raised the price of grain from 150 to 260 wen in one fell swoop, obviously intending to make the country rich.

Zuo Anmin sent back the news that more than half of the grain brought by Zhang Xian had been used, Xie Zhan was sure that when Zhang Xian ran out of food, maybe the price of grain in Nanyang would rise even more.

"Liaodong County will definitely make a move." Xie Zhan is sure to be authentic.

Zhang Xian is to Lu Songli, which is equivalent to Zuo Anmin to him.

If Zhang Xian can't solve the problem of Nanyang this time, he will definitely have to fold on this matter.

Because the disaster in Nanyang is different from the flood in Nandi. Nanyang is a ground movement, and if it is not handled well, the emperor will be involved. Their emperor cherishes his reputation very much.

If this matter falls on Zuo Anmin, he will definitely try his best to help Zuo Anmin. Presumably Lu Songli will be the same.

Xie Nan and Xie Bai, you look at me, I look at you, the two of them subconsciously feel impossible, right? The current situation in Nanyang is very tricky, what can Lu Songli do?

Xie Zhan was also thinking about what kind of method Lu Songli would use to solve Nanyang's problem if he made a move. He couldn't think of it, but he felt that he probably couldn't get out of the game of money and food.

If you don't understand, you can put it aside for the time being, Xie Zhan asked, "How are you preparing?" ”

Xie Nan and Xie Bai glanced at each other, and replied at the same time, "Homecoming, we are already ready, the Gu family and the Lu family are ready, and they can leave at any time." ”

"Okay, early tomorrow morning, we'll leave for Runan."

Runan is east of Nanyang, and Luoyang is north of Nanyang.

There is also a Xuchang between Runan and Luoyang.

Liaodong County, Fang County

Lu Songli left Houcheng and went to Fang County, she was going to meet someone, and Qin Sheng escorted her.

The best restaurant in Fang County, closed for guests on this day.

Lin Shan, the deputy leader of the Cao Gang, was on the first floor at the moment.

Recently, they have cooperated with the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce and the Ji family, and have made a lot of money, so when he was invited by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, he decided to come here to see after a little thought.

The subordinate reported: "Deputy gang leader, the people from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce have arrived!" ”

Lin Shan got up and went to greet him.

Lu Songli brought someone in, and smiled before speaking, "Deputy Gang Leader Lin, I'm late, it's rude." ”

Lu Songli met him in his capacity as president of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.

"It's okay, it's me early." Lin Shan was not very surprised when he saw Lu Songli, he had long known that the president of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce was a woman.

Wu Ren is the general manager of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. There is also President Lu Songli above the chief steward.

"Deputy Gang Leader Lin, please come in."

"President Lu, please—"

After the two entered, the guests sat down.

Lin Shan changed his laziness in the gang and sat upright.

After a few polite greetings between the two sides, Lu Songli went straight to the point, "Deputy Gang Leader Lin, I invited you here this time to discuss a deal with you. ”

"President Lu, please speak."

"Then I'll get straight to the point. In the next period of time, if a rich family comes to you to transport grain, please don't shirk it, and don't sit on the ground and raise the price. You Cao Gang just charge fees normally. Afterwards, our Liaodong Chamber of Commerce will compensate you a sum of silver, the amount of this silver is related to the amount of grain you transport, this is a contract, you can see it first. At Lu Songli's signal, her people presented the contract to Lin Shan with both hands.

After Lin Shan took it, he carefully read it page by page.

Lu Songli drank the tea slowly, and did not urge.

Lin Shan's speed was not slow, and he found that the compensation that Lu Songli just mentioned was compensation according to the river section, and the compensation standard for each section of the river was different, which was very rigorous.

After reading it, he handed it to his henchmen behind him.

It's a big deal, Lin Shan is sure. And he has a strong premonition that this business can be done.

It took his men a quarter of an hour or so to read the contract, and when they finished reading, their men nodded at him.

The contract of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is full of sincerity, detailed and appropriate, and there is no nonsense.

At this time, Lu Songli asked with a smile, "Deputy Gang Leader Lin, after reading the contract, what do you think?" ”

"President Lu is very kind." At this time, Lin Shan had a smile on his face, and he found that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce was like a god of wealth, and often brought opportunities for their Cao Gang to make money.

Lu Songli: "Then the cooperation is pleasant? ”

Lin Shan: "It's a pleasure to work together. ”
