It was nearly noon, outside the Qianqing Palace, Wang Chengen and two little eunuchs were enjoying the shade under the flowers and trees, in fact, it was cloudy today but still very hot, and a few palace people in the distance came, and it was Queen Zhou first, Wang Chengen hurriedly trotted forward to salute.

"Why are you outside, the emperor, it's time to eat?" Empress Zhou asked with some confusion.

"Back to the queen's mother, the emperor is talking to Chang Gong impartially inside" Wang Chengen hurriedly said, and Queen Zhou glanced at the closed door of the Qianqing Palace: "Has Chang Yu been here for a long time?" ”

"Back to the queen's mother, Father-in-law Chang came early in the morning" Wang Chengen said close to Queen Zhou and whispered: "Go south to quell the chaos."

Queen Zhou said: "The major affairs of the country, the palace will not be disturbed" said and turned to leave, walked a few steps and turned back and said: "If Chang Yu is dining in the palace at noon, ask him if he has time to go to Kunning Palace to sit."

Chang Yu is not available.

The monarchs and ministers in the Qianqing Palace discussed secretly for a long time, and Emperor Chongzhen did not leave him to eat at noon, but went straight to Wenyuan Pavilion, and he had to say hello to a few ministers for some things.

When Chang Yu withdrew from the hall, Wang Chengen stopped him and whispered a few words.

"Please tell the queen mother, our family has important official business, and we will go to the queen to say goodbye when we have time" After saying that, Chang Yu left in a hurry, Wang Chengen sighed, even the queen had to make an appointment to summon him, and the eunuch did it...... Really TMD cool.

Chang Yu went out of the palace and went straight to the yamen, pondering in the carriage all the way, and even when he arrived at the door, Lao Hu didn't even respond to a few shouts, so frightened that Li Muxian, who was on duty, thought that something had happened, and rushed into the car, but Chang Yu was startled and subconsciously kicked over, a good Li Muxian turned over and landed on an iron plate bridge, narrowly avoided it, and took a few steps back: "Factory Gong, you ......"

"I'm thinking about it," Chang Yu was slightly embarrassed, got out of the car, patted Li Muxian on the shoulder, and then entered the yamen and said loudly: "Chunxiang is there?" ”

The fan in the courtyard responded to the call, and Chang Yu asked him to call Gao Jie immediately, and repeatedly told him to only call Gao Jie.

Chunxiang was picking up rice, although he also went to Hi Pi last night, but as the second-in-command of Dongchang, he didn't dare to indulge too much, but even so, he didn't get up until midnight and returned to the yamen to wake up, and as soon as he picked up the meal, he was called to the lobby by Chang Yu.

"Brother, I encountered a tricky thing" Chang Yu closed the door and told Zhu Zhi'e about the Jin Palace, Chunxiang almost didn't drop his jaw, and jumped up and down in the lobby: "It's not a loss, it's the big brother, the little brother is in suit, the little brother is awesome to you, the little brother climbed the palace maid in the East Palace, and they all feel that they are awesome, but they are afraid of offending the prince, you are okay, you directly got a county lord, brother, are you going to play with fire?" ”

Chang Yu also beat his chest and paused: "Drunk messy sex, drunk messy sex, one didn't hold it...... Hey, isn't it about these times, how to deal with them now? ”

"What are you going to do with it? The reply letter was cut off, or at the risk of being punished by the emperor for the nine clans" Chunxiang rolled his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "Now that the eldest brother is being used, maybe the emperor will agree to the marriage?" ”

Chang Yu shook his head: "The risk is too great, and even if you agree, you have to agree when you hire people, and you have to settle accounts for me later" He took a long breath: "When you slowly figure it out."

"It's also slowly figured out, everyone has written to ask about the crime" Chunxiang pouted: "If you want me to say hurry up and cut the mess, I will find someone to kill that Zhu Youcai when I go back, just as if he didn't come, the county lord in Taiyuan can't wait for the news and slowly dies."

Chang Yu glanced at Chunxiang: "Good idea, I'll find someone to do it later."

"Don't, brother, I'll just say that casually" Chunxiang hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, and the words changed: "It doesn't work to be above board, and you can't do it soft-heartedly, so what do you want?" ”

Chang Yu frowned and looked out the window and said leisurely: "I'm about to go south to quell the chaos, and I don't have time to have a long relationship with children, but I do have intentions for the county lord of the Jin Palace, and I can't bear her, I want to go to a letter to appease her, but I always feel that it is too perfunctory, so it's better to let me come to the capital to relax."

"Pick up Kyori?" Chunxiang went away again: "Just now I said that you played with fire and said it wrong, you are setting yourself on fire!" How did he enter Beijing as a dignified Jin Wangfu county lord? What excuse did you use to let her come, there are countless thieves along the way, how do you keep her safe...... Brother, can you stop for a while, and when the affairs in the south are done, I can't wait for a trip to Taiyuan in person."

No, Chang Yu shook his head: "You can't understand how difficult it is for a girl's family to wait for her sweetheart through the autumn water, although she is not there when she comes to the capital, but she can let her know that she has done something for her, and she will be very happy, instead of looking forward to it every day in the Jin Palace...... What kind of eyes do you have, you will know how it feels when you are separated from Linglong for a while in a few days."

"Okay, good, you're right, you're the best at flirting with your sister, I'll just ask, what excuse do you have to get Zhu Xianxuan to let his sister come to the capital to play?"

"Good question!" Chang Yu raised his hand and kept Chunxiang: "This is why I came to you, I will leave this matter to you, no matter what excuse you use, just get people to the capital for me to come to the capital safely."

"My God, how can you be so shameless" Chunxiang covered his face with his hands: "I have enough things at hand these days, and you still ......"

"Don't call" Chang Yu smiled: "I have to tell the prince about Linglong's affairs, otherwise...... Hey, if you help me, I'll help you! ”

Well, Chunxiang slapped his thigh: "Let me think about it, hey......"

"I'm going south in a few days, and the matter at hand has to be dealt with quickly" Chang Yu put away the frolicking just now, and said seriously: "Did you tell Wu Mengming about the sons of North Korea?" ”

"Anyway, I met him in the big world yesterday, and he has been busy enough in the past few days, but he also responded to this matter, and he sent his henchmen to do it" Chunxiang continued: "Lao Wu also told me good news, our dart game has finally opened, and it has received more than ten deals at once."

Ah, Chang Yu was stunned, and then realized that with the war in the five northern provinces subsided, the business of the merchants had to start to make a living, and now the capital is short of materials, it is a good time to go south to buy goods and go to business, but although the war is gone, the smoke of gunpowder still exists, because of the war disaster implicated hundreds of people in the family ruined, lingering and starving everywhere, since it is also full of thieves, at this time the business of the dart bureau is of course good, and the four seas dart bureau is the official background of the east factory is firmly reliable.

After a few months of idle food, he was finally able to make money for Lao Tzu, Chang Yu was very pleased, and then asked the Octopus Chamber of Commerce if he could go out of Beijing.

Octopus Chamber of Commerce is the imperial merchant held by Chang Yu and Wu Mengming, mainly for the imperial court to purchase and transport military rations, previously went north to the outside of the Guan, refused to go south to resist thieves and chased the Tartars to the south, grain and grass were supplied by Octopus, but it was also emptied.

In fact, not only is the Bada empty, and the entire northern grain is in a hurry, not to mention the natural disasters of locust drought in the past few months, the thieves and the Qing army have been wasted, and the common people are so hungry that they can't even gnaw on the bark immediately.

The food in the capital is in a hurry!

As the largest grain merchant in the capital, Octopus not only has to supply military rations but also take care of the people's livelihood in idle times, a while ago because of the war caused by the canal interrupted the grain supply in the south can not come, and now the war has gone to the grain merchants are in a hurry to go south to purchase, Octopus is not willing to be left behind.

It is said that the grain in the south is being transported to this side, and the waterways are there, and the latest batch is in Xuzhou, Chunxiang smiled, Chang Yu was stunned, but he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, awesome.

As an imperial merchant, you must have a far-sighted vision, a while ago when the thief army approached the capital, Octopus felt stretched thin when preparing grain and grass, and only relied on high prices to buy grain and grass in the Gyeonggi area for a while, so he allocated people to go south to buy grain along the way.

In the past two months, there have been a lot of hoarding goods than other grain merchants have taken the lead, this is to have a background to do things, during the war other grain merchants nested in the city and did not dare to move, but Octopus is different, they can take the army's free ride, for example, when Baoding Mansion defended the war, Octopus's grain and grass supply team was in nearby Dingxing County, and the grain was handed over and went south to purchase.

In addition to having a background, there is money, and more importantly, siblings and their own armament, and the robbers of hundreds of people are generally helpless against them.

These are not comparable to other merchants.

"Xuzhou ......" Chang Yu muttered softly: "Send a message to Octopus, build a grain and grass base in Xuzhou, and send part of the grain and grass purchased south to the capital, and hoard the rest over there."

"The eldest brother is going to be used as military rations for the south?" Chunxiang reacted, but Chang Yu shook his head: "If you don't need to be prepared, don't use it until the last resort."

"If you don't need it, how to solve the problem of grain and grass going south?" Chunxiang asked with a frown.

Chang Yu took a long breath: "Naturally, it is a flower child, and it takes all the way to go all the way, this kind of cheap without capital and profit can be taken advantage of, and the emperor also likes it."

Chunxiang rolled his eyes: "There are natural disasters and man-made disasters everywhere, and the harvest is lost every year, in your words, the landlord's family has not much surplus food, you ask who is going, and what you want is not a star and a half, it is tens of thousands of mouths."

"Friend, you're still too young," Chang Yu smiled.
