Chapter 702: Wow! There are even slower ones!
Guo Dan stayed in Weihui Mansion for two or three days, because he still had some things to arrange.
The main thing is that Weihui Mansion will import grain in the next six months.
He first arranged for everyone to release the news, saying that Kaifeng Mansion might close the grain route to Weihui Mansion.
The reason is that the current price of agricultural products in Kaifeng Province has risen, and at the same time, the big landlords in Kaifeng Province have rented a large amount of land, and they want to monopolize the agricultural product market in the entire Weihui Province.
Kaifeng Mansion is dominated by the peasant class, and the big landlords have taken so much land, and who will sell this grain to at that time, it just so happens that Weihui Mansion is on the edge of the disaster area, and it is very much in need of food.
They don't want to let grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang come in.
At the same time, in the name of Kaifeng Mansion, the news was released, saying that the price of grain in Guide Mansion is high, and you in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will transport grain to Guide Mansion to sell, don't come to our Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion.
The purpose of these news is to tell those grain merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, don't raise the price, brother doesn't want you to come now, we want to make this money ourselves, so as to avoid the grain merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang from speculating on high grain prices.
In fact, there has been news from Kouyi over there, and many officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are speculating on the price of grain shipped to Weihui Mansion, because for officials, as long as you don't increase the price locally, you have to ship it out, and you can raise it as much as you like, and this is not my responsibility.
At the same time, Guo Dan sternly warned the merchants of Weihui Mansion that the price of commodities cannot be increased, especially the goods shipped to Kaifeng Mansion.
One of the reasons why the agricultural product market in Kaifeng Province quickly became prosperous is that the price of commodities has not risen, and if the prices of commodities have also risen, the people still have no extra money.
The market will be depressed.
Weihui Mansion is to restrict agricultural products, while Kaifeng Mansion is to restrict commodities.
After arranging these things, Guo Dan and Aunt Xu set off for Beijing.
This time Guo Danxue was obedient, he did not go directly to the capital, but went straight to the Royal Racecourse, he was afraid that there was a eunuch guarding him at the gate of the city, and when he arrived at the door, he was called to the Royal Racecourse.
It's a painful feeling.
But Aunt Xu was unwilling to go to the Royal Horse Farm with Guo Dan.
"Layman, there's no need. I'm going back to my life, I don't want any more accidents with this kick, so you might as well go with me. ”
Guo Dan stood beside the carriage and said to Aunt Xu depressedly.
Aunt Xu smiled and said: "You have completed the task so well, facts speak louder than words, and you are already in your hands, as for the matter of inviting credit, I don't think I should teach you how to do it." ”
Guo Dan sighed and said, "Next time, I will invite Your Majesty, don't bring Xing'anbo anywhere." ”
Aunt Xu just glared at him slightly, then put on her hat, and just when she got on the horse and was about to leave, she suddenly saw a team of people coming towards her.
The road was so wide, Guo Dan hurriedly asked the groom to drive the carriage to the side.
"Guo Dan?"
When the group walked in front of Guo Dan, they suddenly heard a very surprised voice coming from the carriage.
The team immediately stopped.
"Huh? This sounds familiar! ”
Guo Dan couldn't help but look at the carriage, only to see a person coming out of the car, it was Song Jingsheng, the household servant.
"Guo Dan, why are you here?"
Song Jingsheng looked at Guo Dan in surprise, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Guo smiled lightly: "I'm back to come back to my life." ”
"Resurrection?"
Song Jingsheng almost didn't bite his tongue and said, "You... What is your life, has your mission been accomplished? ”
Guo Dan nodded.
Song Jingsheng was immediately stunned.
The air seemed to be forbidden at this moment.
Sorry to disappoint you. Guo Dan said secretly, and then asked, "Song Shilang, where are you going?" ”
"I'll go to Guide Mansion."
As soon as the words came out, Song Jingsheng regretted it.
There was a flood on both sides at the same time, he had just gone out, and Guo Dan had already come back to recover.
This.......
Of course, he had already sent people to Guide Mansion to urge the local government to help the victims, while he was sitting in the central government to dispatch food and other materials to the rescue.
"Uh... Then I wish Song Shilang a smooth journey. ”
Other than that, what else can Guo Dan say.
Song Jingsheng woke up suddenly, and asked urgently: "There are disasters in both Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, why did you complete the task so quickly?" ”
Guo Dan sighed: "This is very simple, if a disaster occurs, it is equivalent to a lack of food for the people, to solve the problem, it is to provide food to the people, and I will spend money to sell food to the people affected by the disaster." ”
Aunt Xu, who was riding on a horse, couldn't help but smile secretly with her hat.
But there's really nothing wrong with this, Guo Dan did the same.
That's what disaster relief is all about!
Song Jingsheng asked, "Do you spend your own money?" ”
"That's right!"
Guo Dan nodded, and said: "Money is something outside the body, life is more important, I'm not afraid that Song Shilang will punish me, I should destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster." ”
Song Jingsheng suddenly had mixed feelings, and I still assisted you in my feelings.
The two only chatted for a few short moments, because the atmosphere was indeed a little awkward.
Song Jingsheng couldn't pull his face and asked Guo Dan for experience, he had previously sarcastically mocked Guo Dan for his inexperience, and he didn't believe that Guo Dan had really completed the task.
You're exaggerating.
Even if you buy food, it takes time.
He thought to himself, okay, I'll inquire then, if you kid lies about the disaster, you will be good-looking.
He really couldn't believe it.
Royal Stud Farm.
Working here made it easy for the emperor to work, and at the same time enhanced friendship between colleagues, because everyone lived together and it was convenient to visit the door.
In the evening, Shen Shixing took a walk on the grass with Wang Xijue and Xu Guo.
"I heard that Song Shilang has set off today." Shen Shixing asked.
Wang Xijue nodded and said: "This time, the household department is very well prepared, and has already sent people to Guide Mansion to open a warehouse to help the people, and then let the Daimyo and Hejian Second Mansion prepare food. ”
Xu Guo also said: "This time, the government and the opposition can be said to be working together, and there should be no one to get in the way, because if you lose to Guo Dan, no one will have a dull face!" ”
In the early Ming Dynasty, the disaster relief system was relatively sound, but in the middle and late periods, every time disaster relief, the first thing to feed was the group of officials.
It often makes a mess.
Why Wang Xijue is not worried about Song Jingsheng, is afraid that there will be another moth.
But this time there is a competitive relationship with Guo Dan, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are more united, so I can't afford to lose my face!
Everyone tried their best to cooperate with Song Jingsheng.
Wang Xijue said: "Shen Shoufu, if this time is really successful, if there is anything to do in the future, we can also do the same, push Guo Dan out first, and urge everyone to unite." ”
Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "This trick is not good!" Because this result comes out, the losing side will definitely be in trouble. But I'm a little worried about Guo Dan now, the imperial court plans to give tax exemption to Guide Mansion, and plans to send grain relief, and Guo Dan can only rely on himself, by the way, is there any news about Guo Dan? ”
Wang Xijue shook his head and said: "Only last time, Huang Daxiao made a twist and impeached Guo Dan and the landlords of Kaifeng Mansion to raise prices, and Jiang Yinglan's side has not yet written it." ”
At this time, Jiang Yinglan had forgotten about it, and he didn't know how to write this fold, as an inspector, he had only met the inspected person once, and the first thing was to say goodbye.
If he doesn't get it right, he will be punished for dereliction of duty.
You're too slow.
At this moment, Song Qi came over panting, "Shen Shoufu, two scholars, Guo Dan is back." ”
"What?"
The three of them were stunned.
As soon as Guo Dan entered the royal racecourse, all the ministers learned the news, but everyone couldn't believe it, and even many ministers thought that Guo Dan must have been arrested because he took the opportunity to make money, so they rushed over.
Wanli himself was frightened.
If Guo Dan returned to the capital first this time, there would definitely be no eunuchs at the gate of the city, because no one expected that Guo Dan would come back so soon, and they thought that it would take at least half a year.
Even the East Factory didn't pay much attention.
The ministers were waiting at the outer gate, and Wanli was not very good at summoning Guo Dan alone, after all, the last time the price of grain rose, the ministers were very suspicious of this, so he temporarily held a court meeting, and the location was the corridor conference room.
"Caomin Guo Dan, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."
"Hurry up and excuse me."
Without waiting for Guo Dan to stand up, Wanli hurriedly asked, "Guo Dan, why did you come back?" ”
Guo Dan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, now that the disaster in Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion has been alleviated, and the local people have returned to their usual lives, the grass people will rush back to report to Your Majesty, so as not to worry Your Majesty." ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked.
Song Jingsheng just set off today, and you kid will come back to recover his life.
You have gone the way of immortals, it is unlikely that mortals can do all this.
"Really... Are you sure? ”
Wanli couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Your Majesty, don't trust him."
Yang Mingshen hurriedly stood up, he immediately turned around again, and asked Guo Dan: "Guo Dan, this official also asks you, are you uniting with the local big landlords in Kaifeng Mansion to take advantage of the disaster to raise the price of grain." ”
Guo Dan said: "There is such a thing, but the grass people did not force them, the grass people just gave a suggestion, and they agreed voluntarily." ”
It's just the advice you give, and no one cares if you force them or not, it really doesn't matter.
Shen Shixing and the other ministers couldn't help but look at each other, you admit to playing like this, how can you deal with the disaster so quickly.
You're clearly deceiving people!
"That's it."
Yang Ming said deeply: "Under this disaster, you dare to cooperate with the landlord to raise the price of grain, what kind of heart do you have?" ”
Guo Dan asked, "I wonder how Scholar Yang learned about this?" ”
Yang Ming snorted deeply: "Huang Yushi has already taken everything you did in Kaifeng Mansion to the imperial court. ”
Guo smiled lightly: "Did Huang Yushi say that I later took out hundreds of thousands of taels to the victims and let them buy food?" ”
"Oops!"
Suddenly I heard a groan.
Then I heard a shout: "Your Majesty." ”
The ministers immediately looked back and saw the fat house, no, Wanli was sitting on a chair, covering his chest with one hand, and his fat face was grief-stricken.
"I'm fine."
Wanli waved his hand, and Li Gui, who stopped him, looked at Guo Dan with tears in his eyes, "You... What do you say, you take out hundreds of thousands to buy food for the people? ”
Speaking of the back, he choked up.
It's all my money!
You're dead, kid.
"Your Majesty, yes."
Guo Dan said: "Since the grass people contracted Weihui Mansion, Your Majesty has repeatedly warned the grass people that they must treat His Majesty's people well, and the grass people dare not forget. It is true that the grass people have made a lot of money from Kaifeng Mansion in the past two years, but this time it was all returned to them, alas... There is nothing left. ”
As he spoke, he also secretly glanced at Wanli.
