Liang Xiao's brows trembled and he looked at the smiling Gongsun Yue in front of him.
She is beautiful and dangerous.
"Miss Third, you always threaten me when you disagree with me, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Yue became more and more proud and looked indifferent.
"No big deal, sister Yue Lian will be your slave and maid in the next life. Even if you are criticized by thousands of people, I will serve you for the rest of your life, be obedient to you, and obey your words~"
Liang Xiao suddenly thought deeply.
Yue Lian...
It seems that this name is the reason why I can't bear it.
He could manipulate a big and cunning family like the Tuoba family into his hands, but this time, he had to negotiate with Gongsun Yue and compromise appropriately.
This was Duan Yunxiu's suggestion.
He had no objection, after all, so much food was indeed beneficial to his plan.
"Miss Third, you will have your retribution."
Liang Xiao curled his lips and symbolically threw out a sentence that even he didn't believe, trying to regain his place.
"Retribution will only happen in the next life~" Gongsun Yue said in high spirits, "Now, I have a million stones of grain in hand, collected from Youzhou and the surrounding area. What does this mean?"
Looking at the silent Liang Xiao, Gongsun Yue felt so relieved that she almost forgot who she was.
She doesn’t believe in any next life!
"It means that unless my brother Liang Xiao asks for help from the imperial court, it will be almost impossible for you to raise food from the people of Youzhou!"
Liang Xiao was silent and did not deny it out loud.
The grain in Youzhou has indeed been purchased by the Gongsun family and those rice merchants.
According to common sense, it would be difficult for the rice merchants of the Gongsun family to raise so much grain.
But this time, Gongsun Yue got the support of the imperial court, that is, the support of Duan Yunyi...
Originally, he reminded Duan Yunyi and Zhuge Hui to arrange rice merchants in Youzhou to raise food.
After reading Duan Yunxiu's family letter, he realized that Gongsun Yue was actually the rice merchant arranged by Duan Yunyi!
"Brother Liang Xiao, I admire you for your dedication to serving the country and the people, so you work tirelessly to raise food and grass. Do you want to reward me?"
Liang Xiao looked at Gongsun Yue who was talking and laughing, feeling helpless.
"How much do you plan to sell it for?" Liang Xiao curled his lips and asked.
"Promise me a condition first, and then we'll discuss it!" Gongsun Yue suddenly had a look on his face.
Liang Xiao said: "Open the skylight and speak frankly. It is impossible for me to abandon my wife and son!"
Gongsun Yue was stunned, staring at Liang Xiao with resentful eyes, and said word by word: "From now on, I want to live in your house!"
Liang Xiao almost fell down.
But he soon came to his senses.
Jiang Fuxue came to Yanzhou with him, and she had no reason not to come.
Women from the Gongsun family are extremely dangerous!
"I heard that that manly woman is already living in your house, and I want to play with her!" Gongsun Yue said with a guilty conscience.
"How about changing the conditions?" Liang Xiao frowned.
Gongsun Yue looked regretful.
"Then I can only let my food rot in the warehouse? Oh, one million shi is actually only tens of thousands of taels of silver~"
Liang Xiao remained silent.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Gongsun Yue suddenly realized that she had made a mistake.
He really cares about the people of Yanzhou...
"A large part of the reason why I raised this food is because I admire your determination to come to Yanzhou..."
Gongsun Yue said and looked at Liang Xiao with resentful eyes.
This time, she didn't lie.
Liang Xiao finally expressed his stance: "You have to promise me that you won't affect other people by fighting with Qin Xue."
Gongsun Yue's beautiful eyes lit up, and she nodded: "She and I have a personal grudge, so of course it won't affect innocent people! Then...you agreed?"
Liang Xiao nodded and said, "Can we talk about the one hundred stones of food?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Yue almost jumped up and kicked Liang Xiao.
Is it true that I am not as important as the one million stones of food?
"How much do you think we should pay for these grains?" Gongsun Yue said.
"The government will buy it for seventy coins and one stone." Liang Xiao replied.
Gongsun Yue felt warm in his heart.
In fact, she already knew that Liang Xiao planned to purchase grain from those small and large rice merchants at a price of sixty cents per stone.
Looking at it this way, he still takes care of himself.
"Why is my food worth seventy cents?" Gongsun Yue couldn't help but ask.
"Is seventy coins too little? I only give sixty coins to other rice merchants." Liang Xiao asked rhetorically.
"I mean, why can you raise the price of my grain by ten cents per catty?" Gongsun Yue snorted.
Liang Xiao said without hesitation: "You have worked so hard to raise so much food and send it to Yanzhou. Considering your intentions, it is appropriate to increase the price by ten cents."
Gongsun Yue was stunned for a moment, then covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Then let's make a deal~"
The two were surprisingly straightforward in negotiating food prices.
Before leaving, Liang Xiao turned around and said, "I hope you can work with Qin Xue to protect Xue'er."
Gongsun Yue just nodded silently, feeling complicated.
She had long known that she was not as important as Jiang Fuxue in the hearts of her elders.
On the contrary, this bastard Liang Xiao always took care of her and always spoke softly to her without scolding her.
Although he may not be as important as a million stones of food.
In the prefect's mansion.
When Mu Qinxue learned that Gongsun Yue was coming, she looked obedient and said to Liang Xiao, "You are busy with your business~"
After Liang Xiao left, Mu Qinxue hummed and said: "Just in time, have you met your opponent in chess? Let's see how my sister can train her to be a girl with the same wife~"
Jiang Fuxue was secretly happy.
Gongsun Yue took the initiative to send it to the door, which was really unexpected.
Gongsun Yue brought his people into the prefect's mansion that day, and at Jiang Fuxue's request, lived next door to Jiang Fuxue.
Jiang Fuxue's room is in the middle, Gongsun Yue and Mu Qinxue are on both sides of her room, symmetrically.
At the same time, Higashiye Nanye, a rice merchant of the Higashino clan, returned to resume his duties.
The head of the family, Dongye Xuanji, frowned.
"He only spent sixty cents to buy grain. Is this appropriate? If the local impact was not taken into consideration, one hundred cents and one stone would be appropriate."
Higashiye Hongji said: "Even if one stone is forty cents, we can still make money. Sixty cents is already the current market price, so we should be satisfied."
Higashi Ye Xuanji smiled bitterly and said: "What I'm worried about is that he will use this to enrich himself, collect our food, and then resell it at a higher price! By then, public resentment will boil, and we will become an accomplice!"
"This is not something we can decide. It depends on his subsequent actions. In short, do what dad wants and don't offend this person or other aristocratic families."
"Liang Xiao came to Yanzhou to be the prefect, what a big trouble!" Dongye Xuanji had no choice but to arrange for rice merchants to hand over the grain to the prefect's mansion for counting.
After Long Wushuang returned to the inn, he described the process to his subordinates.
"Sixty cents and one stone? Young Marshal! We purchased the goods at thirty-five cents. Including shipping costs, we need forty cents and one stone. How can he be so deceitful!"
Long Wushuang said seriously: "Sell it to him first, and then leave Yanzhou quickly!"
