Early next morning.
Ye Yan got up early and slept very comfortably.
First, he went to bed early last night. After listening to Mingyu's story about what happened in the past two days, he fell asleep quickly.
The second is to return to a familiar place.
Peach Blossom Spring is indeed a better place to live, but living in such a place for the first time always feels a bit strange.
Isn't there a saying that goes like this, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.
Of course, Ye Yan got up so early not because he had slept well.
For a veteran homebody, sleep is never too much.
The reason why he got up so early was entirely because he had something to do.
He had to hand over the grain he brought back yesterday to Ye Chen as soon as possible. If it was later, he might not be able to make it in time.
After a day of giving porridge, Ye Chen's house didn't have much food left.
Now that we have food, there is no need to empty out Ye Chen's family fortune.
Also, Ye Chen has a lot of things to do. If he hadn't come to him earlier, he might still not be able to see anyone today.
Ye Yan understands this male protagonist very well.
When he has something to do, he is a complete workaholic.
Just like him, in order to finish the book as soon as possible and give an explanation to himself and the readers, he stayed up late for several days to type.
After washing up, Ye Yan called a group of guards, took Bai Enci and Mingyu, and came to the palace where Ye Chen lived.
Just as he was about to let someone know, Ye Chen walked out.
Sure enough, his guess was correct. If he had been a step later, he would not have met Ye Chen.
"Brother Imperial, what a coincidence." Ye Yan greeted with a smile.
Seeing Ye Yan, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Seventh brother came to see my brother, what do you want me to do?"
Ye Yan smiled and stepped aside, revealing the bags of food placed behind him.
"I'm here to deliver food to Brother Huang. Didn't we agree before?"
Ye Chen's expression was a little complicated, and he sighed slightly and said, "Let's talk about this in the palace."
Under Ye Chen's guidance, Ye Yan came to the pavilion where he and Ye Chen enjoyed the snow and drank tea last time.
Ye Chen didn't say anything immediately when he came up. He knew that Ye Yan liked to drink the tea he made, so he worked for a while and made Ye Yan a pot of tea before sitting across from Ye Yan.
"Brother Huang is really sorry for you, seventh brother, this time. Not only did I not provide any help, but I actually hindered you, seventh brother."
Ye Yan took a sip of hot tea, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Huang couldn't help himself, I can't blame you.
Besides, who said that Brother Huang didn't help me?
If the emperor didn't believe me, how could the grain merchants return wealth to the people this time and spend high-end money to buy so much grain from the people. "
Speaking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile and said: "This is indeed a great thing for the Imperial City and the people around the Imperial City.
Brother Huang, I received news this morning that those grain merchants were also willing to sell grain at normal prices in the name of charity.
This time in and out, the people are equivalent to making a lot of difference. "
Ye Yan chuckled and said: "These grain merchants are smart, but they have already shown their sincerity first, so there is no need for us to offend them too much."
Ye Chen nodded.
With the food Ye Yan brought, the food provided by these grain merchants was no longer a necessity, and there was no need for him to be polite to these grain merchants.
He had already planned to find trouble with these grain merchants after the disaster relief was over.
The people of the Daqian Dynasty were in dire straits. Instead of helping, these businessmen only added fuel to the fire. This is simply abominable.
If you can't touch the aristocratic family that supports them, then there are plenty of ways to touch a small businessman like you.
At least the food eaten must be vomited out.
But now, as Ye Yan said, there is no need to offend these people too much.
What's more, if we really get to the bottom of it, those who support him will probably not be able to please him.
He is not a person who grew up in swaddling clothes. He has long known that where there is light, there is darkness.
For some things, as long as it is not necessary and does not exceed the bottom line, turning a blind eye is the best choice.
Take this incident as an example. These merchants also used real money to purchase grain. Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with that.
It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits.
The purpose of those who support him and the wealthy families behind him is not to starve the refugees to death.
Supporting merchants to purchase grain is only their means, not their purpose.
As the saying goes, it is the common people who suffer in the end.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen looked at Ye Yan seriously and said, "Seventh brother, take this batch of food back.
Now that food prices have returned to normal, and the disaster relief money is in my hands, the refugees will not be short of food. "
"With so much food, can I eat it all when I take it back?"
Having said this, Ye Yan paused for a moment, and then said in a joking tone: "Besides, brother Huang doesn't think that I will give this batch of food to him for nothing, right?"
"Ah? Isn't it free?" Ye Chen was a little confused.
He told Ye Yan to take the food back sincerely, but he knew very well that it was impossible for Ye Yan to take the food back.
But he still had to persuade me. This was a matter of attitude, not acting.
But he didn't expect that Ye Yan didn't want to give him food for free.
In his mind, this batch of food really didn't cost a penny.
Ye Yan nodded and said, "These grains are not mine. I can only make the decision and sell them to you, Emperor Brother, at half price."
Ye Yan's words are both correct and incorrect.
This food is indeed not his, but belongs to the Bai Li people.
However, even if he gave it away for free, the Bai Li people wouldn't say a word.
But after giving it away, it would be impossible to open a hotpot restaurant in large quantities.
He doesn't have that much money.
If a hot pot restaurant cannot be built, it will be difficult for the Bai Li people to make early arrangements.
Hearing Ye Yan say this, Ye Chen suddenly felt much more relaxed.
He realized that this might be the best outcome.
Not to him or to anyone.
Ye Yan is indeed not suitable to be in the limelight in front of the people now.
Otherwise, the father's goal will be achieved.
Anyway, in the hearts of the people, Ye Yan's batch of grain was also exchanged for disaster relief money.
Everything went well and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
Then, Ye Yan began to prepare to reveal his second purpose.
In fact, this second purpose was his main purpose of coming to Ye Chen early this time.
After doing so much, his ultimate goal is to improve the reputation of the female villain Lin Yuyu.
But Lin Yucheng had only mentioned it to Ye Yucheng so far, and the rest of the people didn't know who Lin Yucheng was.
This is not enough.
He wanted to use the momentum to gild Lin Yuyu's body.
Of course, Lin Ranyu won't be the only one who can benefit.
Lin Xianyu participated in so much, so it would be unreasonable not to give him some reward.
There are also the group of girls from Huayuanfang.
So far, except for Miss Qing Chen, this group of girls has really gotten nothing, and their work is completely in vain.
Now is the time to harvest.
