Langyatai.
Li Si flipped through the bamboo slips.
The more I looked at it, the happier I became, and I couldn't help nodding my head in approval.
"I didn't expect that this little pavilion chief could be so talented."
"Such a capable official deserves a generous reward!"
Dasuo Surabaya County Council will cause food prices to rise, which he had already expected. It's just that he doesn't bother to care about such trivial matters, and the county guard is responsible for how to deal with them. If the county guard didn't do his job properly, he would come out and reprimand him.
However, this letter of remonstrance benefited him a lot. The purchase restriction order has been implemented. This is indeed a good idea. The important thing is that it can solve the urgent needs of Sishui County. He heard that the price in Surabaya County has only risen to 100 yuan per meter and stone.
Of course Ye Zhuang could order it, but he could only maintain the original price. But doing so is not only offensive, but also simply unrealistic. If the price of grain is too low, people who don’t need to buy rice may buy it and hoard it, and then it will rise in the future.
However, the average loss later is too taken for granted. Set the granary as a constant level warehouse. When the grain is low, the number of merchants will be increased and the merchants will be bought. When the grain is high, the merchants will be reduced and the merchants will be sold. It seems like a good idea at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you will realize that it has many disadvantages.
There is definitely no problem in selling the rice this time to balance grain prices, but what if we can't make up for it next year or in consecutive years? What if we really need to use the granary but there is no grain available?
"As for the Quyuanli..."
Ye Zhuang stood in the audience with cold sweat on his back.
"How can you believe such a fallacy?!"
"Ahem..."
Ye Zhuang wiped his sweat.
This line is really familiar.
"That's all, it's okay to play some tricks." Li Si didn't pay much attention and continued: "Although Cao Xiu is only the chief of a small pavilion, he has a humble position and dare not forget about the country. Let him advance to the second level and reach the official level. The official is a stingy man when he comes to the countryside. He is given two yi of gold and two concubines."
"only!"
Ye Zhuang raised his hands and bowed.
The reward given by Li Si was not small. Two pieces of gold are worth more than 20,000 yuan. There are also two concubines, and the adult concubines are worth more than 5,000 yuan.
"in addition……"
Li Si's voice suddenly turned cold.
There was deep anger hidden in his eyebrows.
"Has the emperor been found now?"
"Never..."
"Any news about those two children?"
"without……"
boom!
Li Si suddenly raised his hand and slapped it hard on the desk.
"Prime Minister, calm down!"
"Now that the emperor's life or death is uncertain, I, Marquis Tongwu and others have not rested for days. As a county guard, you have only cared about the county government and ignored the emperor's safety since you learned about this matter. Can you still clearly distinguish what is more important?!"
"Zhuang knew he was wrong!"
Ye Zhuang admitted his mistake on the surface, but felt MMP in his heart. So many of you have found it now, but you haven't found it yet. He only had a few days, could he find it just by blowing his breath? This is impossible. If he ignores Sishui County, he will be derelict in his duties and will be dismissed according to Qin law.
"Back off!"
"only!"
As soon as Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Ben broke in.
"Is there some news from Marquis Tongwu?"
"Of course!"
"The Marquis of Tongwu is indeed the humerus of Qin Ting..."
Li Si was about to raise his hand to flatter him, but Wang Ben shook his head in embarrassment, "I just got the news that the eldest son has left Xianyang and said he was coming to help us find someone."
"Nonsense!"
Li Si's face turned red with anger.
They got news last time that Fusu was coming to help find someone, but this matter was severely criticized by Prime Minister Right. Who would have thought that Fusu would leave Xianyang rashly.
Is this help?
This is adding to the chaos!
Wang Ben also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The eldest son has always been filial. Knowing that something happened to His Majesty, it is normal for him to come here to help regardless of etiquette. Fortunately, my son Li'er also came with me, so nothing will happen."
"..."
Li Si suddenly fell silent upon hearing this.
Fusu was taught by hundreds of schools of Confucianism and Legalism and was extremely filial. Moreover, this man was famously stubborn. When his temper got worse, no one could persuade him. Even the emperor dared to quarrel with him. In his opinion, his confrontation with the emperor was also out of filial piety. Filial piety does not mean obeying everything, but having the courage to point out the emperor's mistakes and make him correct them.
It was normal for Fusu to come running after learning that something was wrong with the emperor.
"That's it!"
Li Si didn't want to worry about this anymore and waved it away.
…
…
Pei County, Guan City.
A large number of people are waiting in line.
"Did you hear that?"
"What's the matter?"
“Huaiyin County, it’s also worth a hundred dollars a stone!”
"It's cheap." The hunched old man shook his head and said with emotion: "If it weren't for the advice of the pavilion chief Cao Xiu, we poor households in Luzuo would probably have no rice to cook with. As a native of Peixian County, I am really the best one. Good luck waiting!”
"What my father-in-law said is that the price of rice in our Pei County is the lowest among the counties, and a rice stone only costs 60 yuan. Cao Jun is really a timely help to Pei County, and he contributes at the critical moment."
"Humph, Nai Gong knew that he must be a great person when he first met Mr. Cao. There is a saying in Fengyi, saying that Cao Xiu will come soon. Cao Jun cares about the poor people in Guizhou, and his two or three sons will know it from now on."
Listening to their discussion, a young man showed a different expression on his face. He covered his clothes very tightly, wore a sword around his waist, and wore his hair in a simple bun. Wearing a green cloth, wearing a pair of straw sandals.
He is not from Peixian County. He came here just because the price of food here is cheaper. In other counties, rice and stone cost a hundred cents. If it hadn't been for the county governor's order, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been sold at a higher price.
"Timely rain Cao Xiu?"
"If you say Cao Xiu, Cao Xiu will be here?"
"Ah……"
The young man sneered and shook his head.
He had never met Cao Xiu, but he knew from this method that this person was anything but simple. These words sound very smooth. The key is to make the head of Guizhou have a good impression on him. He is indeed good at manipulating people's hearts.
"Do you know why the price of rice is so cheap in Pei County?"
"Is it Mr. Cao who sells rice at a low price?"
"Not only that." The old man waved his hand, "I heard that Mr. Cao also persuaded the four major clans of Xiao, Cao, Wang and Yong, and they jointly provided rice to control the price of food."
"Um?"
When the young man heard this, he immediately became interested.
In this way, Cao Xiu really has some abilities.
Such a talented person is just a pavilion chief?
It seems that he has gained something unexpected during his visit to Pei County.
As he thought about it, he became fascinated. But he didn't notice that the person in front had left, and the person behind naturally walked up anxiously, and the two of them bumped into each other.
"Alas, your mother and maidservant!"
"Are you blind?"
The strong man behind stared and cursed. He was a butcher in Peixian County, but he was mainly responsible for killing pigs, and his name was Heibei. He has a hot-tempered and impulsive personality. He made a big mistake before, and he managed to pay for it by inheriting the title from his father.
Looking at the eight-foot-tall young man in front of him, Hei Bei was not afraid at all. Even though he had a sword on his waist, in the eyes of a butcher like him, he was just a bid-taker.
The young man frowned.
Thinking that it was his fault, he walked forward.
The more he ignored him, the more enthusiastic people like Hei Bei became.
"Nai Gong is talking to you, don't you understand?"
"Xin doesn't want to argue with you."
The young man waved his hands calmly.
"Huh? Are you not from Pei County?"
"I am believed to be from Huaiyin County."
As soon as this accent came out, Black Back immediately frowned.
Are outsiders coming to Pei County to grab rice? !
If it doesn’t work, you have to make things difficult for him!
