Chapter 388: Affordable Grain (Minor Repair)
Liaoxi County
The Assassin Mansion and the County Shoufu are about to hold a happy event, and the second miss of the Shi family and the eldest son of the Lu family tied the knot.
Previously, the Shi Mansion and the Lu family were now plagued by gossip.
Shi Xue, the second lady of the Shi family, has a damaged reputation because she is in the center of gossip. Even if the Shi family invited the famous stable woman of Liaoxi County to verify Shi Xue's identity, indicating that she was still a yellow flower girl, no one believed her.
Everyone only thinks that either Wen Po received the money, or Wen Po was hindered by the prestige of the Assassin Mansion and didn't dare to tell the truth.
Making Huang Yao is like this, it is equivalent to yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, and it is difficult to win people's trust no matter how he explains it.
Moreover, it is a fact that she was captured by bandits, and this rumor is spread with truth and falsehood, and Shi Xue is speechless.
Lu Yiliang was also not happy, he was also slandered by rumors. I don't know which of the immoral things came up with it, and directly related his embarrassment to Lu Desheng and his collusion with the cottage.
He embarrassed Lu Desheng, that is, he was standing up for the destroyed Liufu Village.
In short, Lu Yiliang is not good at going against Lu Desheng again.
He was very aggrieved, but he had to stop fighting.
In order to dispel the rumors surrounding Shi Xue, Shi Tao decided to marry her to Lu Yiliang's eldest son. There is no way, the reputation of the second daughter is ruined, and it is impossible to marry highly.
He wanted to marry his second daughter to Qin Sheng, but neither Qin nor Lu cooperated. If it drags on any longer, the reputation of the Assassin Mansion will be unfavorable.
If Shi Xue's matter is not resolved one day, the Shi family will always become the talk of the people after tea and dinner, and the Shi family will have other unmarried girls, which will bring fame.
Lu Yiliang originally wanted to marry Shi Xue for his eldest son, but now, he seemed to have been hit by a pie falling from the sky.
The two sides hit it off and decided to get married.
Faced with such a result, Shi Xue cried uncontrollably, "Dad, this wave of rumors must be done by the Lu family, you must be the master of your daughter!" ”
"Don't worry, Dad won't let you suffer this grievance in vain."
If Lu Desheng learned this, he would definitely roll his eyes, and then despise the Shi family's father and daughter, even if the Shi family guessed that it was them, what if she Shi Xue was a girl's family, she was in prison, and she was lucky to be rescued, and then she was quietly escorted home, and everyone did not say anything about it. In the future, she can live her life well.
Everyone quietly covered up this matter for you, if you have to take revenge, then don't blame others for lifting your fig leaf.
Luoyang
Liu Xiaohuai came back from outside, with a happy face, "Master, the grain that is often closed has arrived." ”
Previously, Zhang Xian took one million taels of silver as collateral through secret folding, and made a military order to borrow one million stone of grain from Dali's regular liquidation.
The reason why Song Mo agreed was because even if Zhang Xian's plan failed, he would not lose.
Don't look at the current Nanyang bucket of grain is 280 wen, 10,000 stone is about 28,000 taels, and 1 million stone is 2.8 million taels.
However, the one million stone of grain that is placed in the regular position is usually collected at a low price, and it doesn't even cost a million taels.
In addition, the disaster in Nanyang was the turning of the earth dragon, and Song Mo really wanted to solve it well.
Now, the food is in place.
Ji Wuyin asked Liu Xiaohuai, "Where are the grain merchants from all over the world?" ”
The news that came back through Ji's branches in various places before, because the news of the highest grain price in Nanyang spread all over the country, and the grain merchants set off one after another to transport grain to Nanyang to sell.
"The fastest moving grain merchants, the grain ship is about to dock."
"Good! Now it's time to see how we perform! It's time for food prices to be like onions! ”
Nanyang
The subordinate asked, "My lord, is the food for disaster relief running out?" ”
Zhang Xian: "Well, this batch of relief food is indeed running out. ”
Zuo Anmin frowned, in fact, in order to prolong the time of disaster relief, so that more victims can rebuild their homes during this time, they have already saved a lot. No matter how much you save, there is only so much relief food that the emperor has pulled, and there will always be a time when it runs out.
He looked at Zhang Xian, and the head of the family said that Zhang Xian must have a way to get through this difficulty, what would he do?
Zhang Xian thought to himself, the bureau has been laid out, and the next step will be the harvest period.
After the news that the disaster relief food was about to run out, the people of Nanyang were in mourning.
Grain merchants from all over the country were already paying close attention to Nanyang, and after receiving the news, they urged the grain ships to move forward quickly.
On this day, several ports and wharves in Yuzhou were full of large and small grain ships from all over the country, especially Luoyang, which was the most lively.
Grain merchants who are familiar with each other greet each other, those who inquire about the news go to inquire about the news, those who rent warehouses rent warehouses, those who unload grain unload grain, and those who are looking for sellers are looking for sellers, everyone wants to take the opportunity to make a big profit and eat a big meat.
At this moment, Nanyang's Ji's branch officially announced that there was a large amount of cheap grain to sell!
The people of Nanyang buy according to the capitation, and after registration, they can obtain the qualification to buy affordable grain.
As soon as the news came out, countless ordinary people flocked to tell each other, and soon, Nanyang's Ji's semicolon lined up in a long line.
In the grain store under the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce, there is a sister-in-law who is choosing grain with a sad face.
At this time, her husband rushed in and pulled the person away, "Hurry up." ”
"Well, I haven't bought food yet."
"What to buy? Don't buy it, this black-hearted high-priced grain, who loves to buy it! ”
"But there is no food at home."
"Let's go to Beicheng to buy cheap grain!"
"Cheap grain? How much is a bucket? "No matter how cheap the grain is now, it is estimated that it will cost two hundred and one buckets, right? But even if it's two hundred and one buckets, it's cheaper than the grain of the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce.
"One hundred and twenty wen a bucket!"
"What? Did I hear me right? Is it really one hundred and twenty wen a bucket? ”
"Really! You heard it right. ”
"It's so cheap, can you eat the grain?"
"Don't worry, I've seen the grain, it's okay!"
"Then let's go!" What if it's too late?
One hundred and twenty wen a bucket, it's really a grain that can't be parity anymore, even if it's a bumper harvest year, it's only this price, right? Is the Ji Chamber of Commerce the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering?
