Chapter 44 Grain Purchase
Since Zhao Yun arrived, Li Huiyi chatted with Zhao Yun when he had nothing to do, and people who didn't know thought that there was something wrong with his orientation.
On this day, when Li Huiyi was pestering Zhao Yun, Chen Gong came to the mansion and found him and said, "My lord, now that there are too many soldiers recruited, there is not much food left in the treasury, and it can only last for three months, what should I do?"
Li Huiyi thought about it and replied, "How much money is left in the government treasury?"
Chen Gong replied, "Lord Qi, there are about a billion dollars in money, and twenty boxes of jewelry."
After hearing this, Li Huiyi said, "We can go elsewhere to buy grain and buy it at a higher price than the market price!"
Chen Gong said, "Yes, but I don't know who the lord wants to send"?
Zhao Yun was entangled by Li Huiyi all day long, and he wanted to go out for a walk, so he answered, "I am not talented, I am willing to go."
Li Huiyi thought for a while and said, "Since Zilong wants to go, then I will ask Li Quan to go with you, you can see it?"
Zhao Yun thought that as long as he stayed away from you, he said, "Whatever, this is the best."
Li Huiyi said, "Okay, then tomorrow I will ask Li Quan to find you and go out to buy grain together."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun replied, "Since this is the case, I will go and prepare and say goodbye."
After Chen Gong saw Zhao Yun leaving, he said, "Is this person credible?"
Li Huiyi said, "Don't worry, the people I choose will not be blind."
Seeing what Chen Gong wanted to say, Li Huiyi diverted the topic and said, "Gongtai, I want to go to Zhen's Mansion and exchange jewelry for food, do you think it is feasible?"
Chen Gong thought for a while and said, "It can be, but I don't know how much I can get in exchange."
Li Huiyi said, "As long as you can exchange it for food, it doesn't matter how much you have, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs"!
Chen Gong smiled and said, "Lord, you are a goose plucking!"
After Li Huiyi and Chen Gong finished talking about the old days, Li Huiyi went to Zhen's Mansion alone.
Li Huiyi came to Zhen's mansion and said to the people at the door, "Go and inform your master, and say that General Li Huiyi is coming."
After hearing this, the people at the door immediately ran in to report that after a while, they saw the head of the Zhen family come out and say, "The general will come to this mansion and miss the welcome, and I hope the general will forgive the sin."
Li Huiyi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's me who came uninvited."
After hearing this, the head of the Zhen family said, "General Hou, please, I have asked my subordinates to prepare high-quality tea."
Li Huiyi said, "Since this is the case, then I am not welcome."
After the two of them finished sitting, the head of the Zhen family asked, "I don't know what the so-called matter is the general's visit?"
Li Huiyi said, "I have nothing to do, go to the house and sit down, and by the way, I want to ask the head of the house to help."
After hearing this, the head of the Zhen family said, "I don't know what it is, as long as I can help, I will definitely help."
Li Huiyi said, "Okay, I like people who are as cheerful as the head of the family, and this time I came to buy food from the head of the family."
After hearing this, the head of the Zhen family said, "I don't know how much General Hou wants, if not much, there are still hundreds of stones in my house that can be given to General Hou."
Li Huiyi said, "A few hundred stones is too little, not enough for a day, is the head of the family without food?"
The head of the Zhen family replied, "Yes, yes, but I want to buy it from the master's family, I'm afraid the price will ......."
Li Huiyi saw the look of the head of the Zhen family who wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "Don't worry, the head of the family, I will buy it at a higher price than the market price, do you think it is feasible"?
The head of the Zhen family said excitedly, "General Hou's words are serious."
Li Huiyi replied, "It's true, the head of the family can go to the treasury with me to get money and buy grain."
The head of the Zhen family said, "Okay, I don't know how much General Hou wants to buy"?
Li Huiyi said, "The more the better, tomorrow the head of the family can go to the treasury and take all the money away."
The head of the Zhen family said, "General Hou rest assured, I will use the least amount of money to buy the most grain."
Li Huiyi smiled and said, "Thank you to the head of the family, if the head of the family has something in the future, come to me as soon as possible."
The head of the Zhen family said, "General Hou's words are true."
Li Huiyi said, "The big husband has a word, and the horse is difficult to chase."
The head of the Zhen family said, "The dog has always admired General Hou and wants to get an errand under General Hou, I wonder if General Hou can arrange it"?
Li Huiyi laughed and said, "Okay, then how about letting him follow me as a master first?"
The head of the Zhen family said excitedly at the time, "Thank you General Hou, I'll call the dog over."
After a while, a young man came and said, "What's the matter with my father coming to me in a hurry?"
The head of the Zhen family said, "I haven't seen General Hou yet"!
The young man said, "Zhen Que has seen General Hou, and he has just been rude, so please forgive General Hou."
Li Huiyi smiled and said, "It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty, I am now lacking a thin official position, I don't know if you are willing to go!"
The young man knelt down and said excitedly, "I am willing, thank you General Hou for your appreciation, from now on I will only look forward to General Hou's horse."
Li Huiyi said, "Get up, under my hands, you must have real materials, it is useless to just rely on lip service, if there is no merit in office, you will be replaced at that time."
Zhen Que said, "General Hou rest assured, if I don't do well, General Hou will replace me, and I have no complaints."
Li Huiyi said, "Okay, in that case, you will go back to the government with me today to report on your work."
The head of the Zhen family said, "General Hou, if you don't stay for a meal and leave, the dog can clean up."
Li Huiyi said, "In that case, then I will disturb the head of the family."
After Li Huiyi finished eating at Zhen's mansion, he took Zhen Hu back to the mansion, found Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, introduce you to someone."
Chen Gong said curiously, "I don't know who it is?"
Li Huiyi said, "Zhen Hu, the son of the Zhen family, I have now named him the main book, and I am ready to let him manage the money and grain, and the public station will hand him over."
After hearing this, Chen Gong said, "Okay, don't worry, the lord."
Li Huiyi said to Zhen Yu, "This is Chen Gong, Chen Gongtai, my right-hand man, you will listen to his arrangement in the future."
Zhen Ju said to Chen Gong, "I've seen Lord Chen, please take care of me in the future."
Chen Gong said, "Well, managing money and food is a big deal, and you must be careful and careful in doing things in the future, and you must not be sloppy, if something goes wrong, no one can save you."
After hearing this, Zhen Que said, "Don't worry, Lord Chen, I will definitely manage it carefully, and there will be absolutely no mistakes."
Li Huiyi said, "Gongtai, you should first take him to familiarize himself with the environment, so that he can carry out his work in the future."
After Chen Gong and Zhen Que left, Li Huiyi went to find Li Quan.
Li Huiyi found Li Quan and said, "How is the progress of Tianyan now"?
Li Quan replied, "Lord Qi, the eye of heaven has been initially formed."
Li Huiyi said, "Okay, then you put down the things at hand first, and tomorrow you and Zhao Yun will go to other counties to buy grain, remember that you can't buy it in your four counties."
Li Quan said, "Yes, I just don't know how much the lord wants to buy."
Li Huiyi said, "Tomorrow you will bring 20 boxes of jewelry, and you can buy as much as you can."
Li Quan said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely buy more back."
Li Huiyi said, "Okay, you can get busy first, I won't bother you, go back first."
On his way home, Li Huiyi thought that a nationwide drought would break out next year, and the people would have no harvest and starvation would be everywhere. At that time, the people could not survive, so they could only follow Zhang Jiao's uprising and rebel.
Li Huiyi sighed when he thought of this, and said to himself, "This big Han world is about to be in chaos, and now I can only take care of the people in my own county."
