Chapter 134 Who is the official and who is the thief

"That's not the price of seed grain." The cloud shopkeeper was a little angry, in his opinion, any purchase and sale without explaining the reason was cheating.

Regarding the statement of the cloud shopkeeper after observing the words and feelings, Yun Zhao smiled.

The shopkeeper didn't know Yun Zhao's true purpose and Yun Zhao's opinion of these merchants in Zhangjiakou, so he could only consider it from the perspective of interests.

Hopefully, things will be minimized and this lucrative deal will be finally reached.

Not only did the shopkeeper look at it this way, but even Yun Fu and Yun Meng were a little confused by the hostility that Yun Zhao obviously showed.

The main thing for the family is to sell the sorghum at the right price, and whether the family wants to feed the livestock or use it as a seed is the family's business.

"That's it, you are responsible for raising food and doing business, and we will have more places to rely on these merchants outside the mouth in the future."

The cloud shopkeeper was very happy, and said continuously: "Young master, leave it to the old slave to do it, as long as the grain is harvested this autumn, it will not be difficult to raise 50,000 quintals of grain." ”

Yun Zhao nodded and left the hall.

Seventy percent of the 50,000 quintals of grain should be supplied to the Ming Dynasty nine-sided soldiers in exchange for salt, which is certain.

And the remaining 30 percent, that is, sorghum, which can be used as livestock feed and suitable for human consumption, can be escaped from the monitoring of the border army, and it is difficult to say where it will be transported in the end.

Yun Zhao had planned to fry the sorghum in unison, but later found that it was too obvious, so he prepared to smoke the sorghum with sulfur and then polish it with wax to make it look better and shinier.

He didn't know if the sorghum that had been smoked with sulfur and polished with wax would change, but he just wanted to destroy it simply with the experience of later generations.

Anyway, what has been smoked with sulfur and polished with hot wax should not be bad for people, at most, it will not be good for people.

If this batch of sorghum finally enters the mouth of the border army, the problem will not be too big, if it accidentally flows into the hands of the rest of the people, I don't know if such seeds can still come out?

This method is still the method that Yun Zhao knew when he helped farmers who bought fake seeds and caused no harvest in the past, and it was the worst one.

The seeds smoked with sulfur do not produce insects, and the seeds polished with wax are bright and full in color, and it depends on the luck of the farmer whether the seedlings will emerge.

This matter must be done secretly, and it is best not to let people like the cloud shopkeeper know, so that the matter can be covered up.

Be wary of businessmen, even if it's your own.

In all dynasties, no matter what time it was, merchants were the untrustworthy people in the eyes of the government, and there were absolutely no exceptions!

There is no need to be so troublesome to do business with Zhang Daodao, Zhang Daodao opened the treasury and withdrew all the money in it, not even letting go of the copper.

He bought 210,000 quintals of grain from Lantian County at a price five cents lower than the market price, and under the supervision of all the officials of Xi'an Prefecture, the two courts of the Shaanxi Governor's Office, the officials of the Qin Wangfu, and hundreds of ordinary people, he loaded 210,000 quintals of grain into the granary.

The move brought him great prestige.

After doing this, Zhang Daodao took his wife and children, as well as the salute of two carriages, and left Xi'an Mansion as a clean official and went to Nanjing to take up his post.

Before the carriage left Xi'an City, his carriage was wrapped in the Wanmin umbrella and Wanmin flag.

When he left Xi'an City, Lao Suo took off Zhang Dao's boots with his own hands to show that people wanted to leave their boots.

After being put on new boots by the beauties of Xi'an, Zhang Daodao broke a willow from the weeping willow on the side of the moat and inserted it in the car, drank three glasses of wine in a row, and resolutely got into the carriage and said goodbye to the people of Xi'an with tears.

Yun Zhao watched Zhang Daodao leave in Baqiao, and saw this huge farewell scene with his own eyes, even if he knew what kind of person Zhang Daodao was, at this moment, he only had admiration.

At the same time, they were also shocked by the low requirements of the Ming people for officials.

"That's right, that's what it looks like, Zhang Dao is a smart person, and he did a good thing for the people of Xi'an before leaving, so there should be such a scene."

Hong Chengchou sat lazily on the mat, yawned and said to Yun Zhao slowly.

"You're here to block me, aren't you?"

"What am I blocking you for, I'm an idle official now, what's wrong with going back to Xi'an to recuperate for a few days?"

"Aren't you suppressing bandits in Yansui?"

"There are almost no people in Yansuidi, where are the bandits?"

"Didn't they all go to Shanxi? Why don't you go along? ”

"With Cao Wenzhao here, a certain family can take a rest."

Yun Zhao can still understand Hong Chengchou's depression, everyone has been busy for several years, and in the end, the big bargain was taken up by Cao Wenzhao who came from afar, and his heart is naturally not a taste.

Hong Chengchou invited Yun Zhao to sit on the mat, poured him a cup of tea and continued: "Don't think about it, Hong is not a person with a small belly, let alone the credit of Cao Wenzhao.

You may not know that Your Majesty asked Du Qiaolin, the envoy of Shanxi, Liu Jiayu, a political officer in Shaanxi, and the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

One said: Kou is in Pingyang, or in the meanders of the river, and has gradually crossed the river recently. The meanders of the river are still blocked, and they must be created greatly, but the soldiers are outnumbered and lacking in salaries.

One said: Mountains and Shaanxi are separated by a river, and they come and go, so the river is trapped alone.

His Majesty said, "If the king has surrendered, why should he kill him?"

Some people said: This is Hong Chengchou's fault.

His Majesty said: Kou is also my child, it is appropriate to caress him, and there is no need to be specialized. ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "Then you, the governor of Yansui, went back to Xi'an to rest?" ”

Hong Chengchou sighed and said: "My Shangguan Yang He played His Majesty and said: The border soldiers were born in Saishang, and there is nothing else to do in the army, and the dead of fathers, brothers and sons are killed, and the living are replenished."

Charging into battle, often hanging bloody knives, lying in the snow and sleeping frost, half as the bones of the battlefield. After aiding Liao, a few people never returned. The soldiers on this side also share the suffering.

The ministers are out of the jam in autumn, and they see the Yanxi area, and the yellow sand is more bitter than the second road in the middle and east. In the past, the monthly salary was real-time, but it was short for four years, the land was barren, and there was no product. Frequent drought resistance, millet is as expensive as a pearl. If you don't want to be a thief, you can't get it! ”

"Huh? You mean, the court has begun to sympathize with the thieves, right? ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "That's the case, now the imperial court is appeasing the Liukou, pig, prepare for another chaos in Shaanxi." ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "I only need to take care of the people in Lantian and Lantian, and there are no thieves in Lantian anymore." ”

Hong Chengchou looked at Yun Zhao's eyes and said, "There will be, there will be, if it goes on like this, there will be many thieves." ”

Yun Zhao saw serious anxiety in Hong Chengchou's eyes, took a sip of tea and said, "I'm just a county order, and a county order who doesn't want to make myself like an artillery battle."

I want to take the people of Lantian County to live a life that people should live now, and I don't want to get involved in too many things.

Nowadays, as long as I am an official, they want to ask me for food, but the problem is that they still refuse to give money.

Official, you don't want to ask for food from me for nothing, do you?

To tell you the truth, if you want food, you will have to wait until three years later, and before that, every grain of grain in Lantian County has been arranged. ”

Hong Chengchou smiled: "When you see me, you don't need to cover your pockets first." ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "The current officials are more terrible than robbers, Zhang Daodao used his master in the capital to suppress me, and forcibly took away 210,000 quintals of grain from Lantian County at a price five cents lower than the market price.

Another merchant in Zhangjiakou, Huang Yongfa, used salt and a price higher than the market price to get 50,000 quintals of grain from me and gave it to the border army.

Official, do you think a small Lantian County can support geometry? ”

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "No one can do anything about Zhang Daodao, his master is really powerful, you and I can't afford to provoke him."

It's this Huang Yongfa...... How are you going to deliver food to him? ”

Yun Zhao looked at Hong Chengchou's eyes and said word by word: "I only sent out of Lantian County, and the rest is none of my business." ”

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "Thieves are like hemp, there were thieves who robbed grain in Shaohua Mountain before, this time I don't know who can take away these 50,000 loads of grain?" ”

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "Huang Yongfa himself is a horse thief, and he will not let others have a chance." ”

Hong Chengchou picked up the teacup and invited Yun Zhao to drink together, and then asked the old servant to pack up all the furnishings and walk upstream along the Bahe River with his hands behind his back.

It can be seen that the anger in his chest needs to be extinguished by the water of this river!
