When Jiu Yiniang saw the clothes on An Xiyue's body, both of her eyes glowed green, staring straight at An Xiyue's cloak.
An Xiyue instantly made Jiu Yiniang jealous.
Tu Kui did not expect that the people who came to visit him were such an eye-catching couple, they were really talented and beautiful.
"The common people have seen the prefect." Nangong Yuanyi cupped his hands and said.
"You are Mr. Yuan from the south of the Yangtze River. I wonder what Mr. Yuan wants to do with me." Tu Kui got straight to the point and didn't want to waste time.
Nangong Yuanyi didn't expect Tu Kui to be so direct, "I've prepared some small gifts. I hope the governor likes it."
When Tu Taishou heard that they were here to give gifts, he was immediately elated, with a greedy light flashing in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shi presented the "small gift".
When Xiao Shi opened the gift box, Tu Taishou's eyes immediately dimmed as he took a look.
Nangong Yuanyi said: "I heard that the prefect worked hard for the people of Zhangzhou and was exhausted. Tu Taishou is really a good official who serves the people and the country. I also come here because of his reputation. I happen to be in the medicinal material business, so I specially selected two for the prefect. Excellent ginseng, I hope the eunuch will take care of himself."
Tu Kui listened to what he said very nicely, and he flattered him loudly, but he did not fall out immediately, "It is my duty to do things for the people. Mr. Yuan is ridiculous. Mr. Yuan, just say what you have to say." "I heard that I came to him for help, but this little greeting gift was too shabby.
"I know that the entire Zhangzhou is short of food and medicinal materials, so I have transported a batch of food from Jiangnan and it will arrive in Zhangzhou soon."
When Tu Kui heard this, he was surprised and said, "Do you have grain in your hand?" Unfortunately, all the grain in Zhangzhou and Yuzhou was monopolized by the Huo family. Although he also had a batch of grain, it had been sold out long ago.
Now I just watch helplessly as the Huo family puts a lot of money into their pockets.
Nangong Yuanyi said calmly: "Of course I have food. A few months ago, my family started to collect food and prepare to transport it to various places for sale. Unexpectedly, there happened to be snow disasters in Zhangzhou, Yuzhou and other places."
"But I also heard that bandits are rampant in Zhangzhou and it's very uneventful, so I'm afraid it's not safe to transport food in. Does the prefect have a safe granary to lend to Yuan? I can rent it for a fee. As long as my food safety can be guaranteed, I can Pay more rent.”
Now that Tu Taishou heard that there was grain, he was already tempted. Huo had already made several times the profit from selling grain in his territory.
Although he can also take a commission, who would object to having too much money?
Taishou Tu also knew that ordinary grain merchants could not enter Zhangzhou City without his warrant. The Huo family was also putting pressure on him, and he did not dare to offend Uncle Huo.
Taishou Tu said: "You want to enter Zhangzhou to sell grain?"
"Please ask Taishou Tu to be accommodating and make it easier."
At this time, Tu Taishou glanced at Jiu Yiniang and saw that Jiu Yiniang's pupils shrank. After hearing the news, Jiu Yiniang's thoughts did not stop at An Xiyue's cloak.
Immediately, Tu Taishou pretended to say: "Master Yuan has food to support the people of Zhangzhou. Of course I am very happy, because the disaster is serious and there are many people making trouble. Last time, there was an incident of people grabbing food in Zhangzhou. If it weren't for me, If the officers and soldiers suppress it, this matter will not end well."
Nangong Yuanyi said: "So I also want to seek help from the government. I don't want bandits to rob food. Zhangzhou is the territory of the Tushou Prefect. I believe the Prefect must have a way. When the time comes, we can rent the warehouse for rent." discuss."
At this time, Wu Liang and Sun Zuo happened to come to report the disaster situation to Prefect Tu.
