"Biyun girl wrote to me about the method you proposed, the old man is ashamed, when he was anxious, he didn't expect the food hoarded by the people, if you didn't remind me, I grabbed it with both hands, there was no way."

Su Jin was silent, he was thinking about the real reason why the emperor saw him this time, since the strategy had been offered, there was no need to see him at all, the main reason for this meeting was probably because of Taizu's dream, and the emperor was afraid that he would have to ask for an understanding.

Yan Shuquan didn't notice Su Jin's expression and said to himself: "How can you be sure that there will be a large amount of grain in the people?" ”

Su Jin was stunned, and when Fu Bi saw this, he hurriedly pushed him and said, "My lord asked you something." ”

Su Jin came back to his senses and said busily: "What did the adults ask?" ”

Yan Shu said with a displeased face: "I said that the emperor wants to see you, you will not be able to give up, do you not want to meet the emperor or are you worried about something?" ”

Su Jin hurriedly said: "No, no, my lord misunderstood, I am thinking about what the emperor should ask when he sees me, and I will answer it carefully, so that there will be no mistakes." ”

Yan Shu smiled: "It's too early to think about it at this time, when the old man will teach you how to deal with it, first tell me how you judge that there is a lot of grain in the people?" ”

Su Jin said embarrassedly: "I was born in a businessman, and I am in the grain business, so I naturally have a grasp of the grain market." ”

"Oh? So, do you have food in stock? ”

Su Jin nodded and said, "We learned about the drought in the south in June, so we have made some preparations. ”

Yan Shu said with a straight face: "What preparations?" Hoarding food? ”

Su Jin said in a low voice: "It's ...... It's a little bit of a tun. ”

"How much?"

"First 80,000 stones, then ...... Added a dot. ”

"What are you doing? What is the total amount? ”

“…… Altogether...... 580,000 stones. "Su Jin also counted Yan Biyun's 500,000 stones, if Yan Shu knew that Yan Biyun had stored grain, then he wouldn't be angry with Yan Shu.

"What?"

"What?"

Yan Shu and Fu Bi both exclaimed at the same time, they couldn't believe what they heard, this Su Jin in front of him was just a small businessman in Luzhou, and he actually hoarded a huge grain of 580,000 stones without permission, if he didn't hear it with his own ears, who would dare to believe it.

580,000 stone is enough for all the people of a small city to eat for more than a month, and such a little-known small businessman has hoarded so much, you can imagine how much those big businessmen in the country should have hoarded.

Yan Shu trembled angrily, pointed at Su Jin's nose and scolded: "Profiteers, you profiteers, dare to risk the condemnation of the world, ignore the laws of the imperial court, and take risks to make huge profits, do you know that the lack of food in the imperial court is going to be on fire, and the emperor has taken the lead in reducing meals, in order to save food to survive the upcoming spring famine, the old man originally wondered that my Great Song Dynasty has had a good weather in recent years, why is there not enough food to eat, but it turns out that you profiteers are doing it." ”

Su Jin was depressed to death, and he was labeled as a profiteer, but when he stockpiled grain, he really didn't expect the people and the community, and the original intention of stockpiling grain was also to make money, and then he gradually felt that he shouldn't, but the ultimate goal was also to shift to the goal of cracking down on the Chamber of Commerce, but he never thought from the perspective of the people of the country.

Fu Bi hurriedly supported Yan Shu, who was trembling with anger, helped him sit on the chair, poured a cup of tea to make him feel good, and asked Su Jin to admit his mistake with a look in his eyes.

Su Jin thought for a while and stepped forward and said: "My lord, you are angry, you have misunderstood, this batch of grain was originally intended to stabilize the price of grain in Luzhou at the time of the spring famine and help the people, but I didn't think about making huge profits." ”

Yan Shu looked up and said, "Really? Do you really think so? ”

Su Jinmian did not change his face and said: "Biyun can testify for me in this matter, she knew about the grain storage at the beginning." ”

Yan Shu's face softened slightly, and he muttered: "Biyun girl knows that you are stockpiling grain? She didn't say a word to me about this matter, if you do this thing that endangers the people of the society for profiteering, Biyun's temper will stop you, it seems that the old man really misunderstood you. ”

Su Jin smiled secretly in his belly: The girl is outgoing, although the words of your boudoir are well written, but you can't guess the woman's heart, if you know that Yan Biyun knows that she is storing grain for profit, I am afraid that her nose will be crooked.

"The old man hates these vampire-like profiteers the most in his life, the old man is in charge of the three divisions, and has always had an encouraging attitude towards normal business, but in recent years, the business is not right, hoarding, price gouging, and private sale of contraband are endless, and there are clear provisions in the Song Dynasty criminal system, which must be severely cracked down on the above behaviors, and the heavier ones will be exiled from the house, and the lighter ones will also be punished for bankruptcy, but there are always people who take risks and dare to challenge the court law for profiteering, how can the old man be appeased."

Su Jin said: "What the adults said is that although Su Jin would never do such a thing, do you think that if I really want to make huge profits, why should I offer this plan to the adults?" ”

Yan Shu nodded and said: "That's right, I'll believe you once, but no matter what your purpose is, hoarding is a violation of the laws of the court, and I want you to understand that even if you don't offer this strategy this time, the old man will be able to think of this sooner or later, there have been too many affairs recently, and I can't think of it for a while, if you think that the old man doesn't know the doorway, you are very wrong." ”

Su Jin said: "That's natural, the adult is in the position of the third division, how can these tricks escape your eyes, since the words have been made clear today, the kid is here to express his attitude, as long as the adult says a word, I Su Ji will return all the grain to the court, and share the worries and solve problems for the court." ”

Yan Shu saw Su Jin's resolute attitude, but he was a little apologetic, and he pointed his nose and scolded him, this kid didn't even complain, but he was a guy who knew how to advance and retreat, so he motioned for Su Jin to sit down on the chair next to him, and said with a pleasant face: "You can be so resolute The old man is very pleased, the old man believes in Biyun's vision, and also believes in his own vision, if this matter is not mentioned when facing the saint, so as not to cause misunderstanding." ”

Su Jin said: "I understand." ”

Yan Shu said: "However, your small Luzhou alone has nearly 600,000 grains, and other merchants also have a lot of grain?" ”

Su Jin scratched his head and said: "That's not it, there is a chamber of commerce in Luzhou, except for the first Su Ji, all the other companies have joined the chamber of commerce to operate in a unified manner, as far as I know, they have hoarded a total of 300,000 stones, plus my 580,000 stones, plus unknown variables, it is estimated that it will not exceed one million stones." ”

Yan Shu rolled his eyes, this kid is a big deal, one person eats more than all the merchants combined, and said that it was just to stabilize food prices, and the purpose was questionable; But since Su Jin has already stated that he will hand over the grain to himself, there is no need to delve into it.

Yan Shu thought for a while and said to Fu Bi: "Yan Guo, take out the booklet that you have sorted out before in the future." ”

Fu Bi agreed, turned around and walked to the corner, turned out a thin silk book in a mahogany cage, and handed it to Yan Shu.

Yan Shu handed it to Su Jindao: "This is the list of merchants who operate grain registered in my three divisions, there may be omissions, but it can be roughly used as a reference, and at the end of last year, I ordered all states and counties to reprint and revise it, you can take a look." ”

Su Jin said: "I can't read this booklet, this should be a secret of the imperial court." ”

Yan Shu glared and said: "If you want to see it, you can watch it, when you are the emperor, are you chatting with you to catch up with the past?" The emperor is going to send you an errand, and the errand is related to this matter. ”

Su Jin scratched his head and said, "My lord, you're not joking, how can you let me do it?" You have so many capable officials, why do you want me, a grass worker, to take on this important task? ”

Fu Bi smiled and said: "Little Brother Su, you are stupid, this errand is a miracle to be done, since you have proposed the direction of raising food, how can this credit be grabbed by others, my father-in-law's move is to promote you, don't you understand this?" ”

Su Jin scratched his head and said, "I understand, but I can't help it, wouldn't it be a mess to hand it over to me?" ”

Yan Shu glared at Su Jin and said: "If you are hypocritical, don't blame the old man for turning his face, although the old man does not have a deep relationship with you, but your temperament is in the hands of the old man, you will have a way, but you don't want to think about it; If you are procrastinating and making awkward mistakes, you and Biyun will not blame the old man for repenting. ”

Su Jin had a bitter face, and scolded in his heart: Old thing, what kind of thing, actually playing scoundrel with me, this matter is clearly not an easy errand to do, I'm afraid that no one dares to take over, and actually threw this hot potato into his hands, it's really fucking inexplicable.

"Of course, the old man is in charge, whatever you need, the old man will provide it to you as long as he can provide it, no accident, the saint will give you a title, give you a name, and let you act cheaply. This matter is not easy, but once it is done, you will be able to rise to prominence in the future, not to mention official positions, and other gifts can be satisfied. ”

Su Jin's heart moved: "For example, ......"

Yan Shu smiled and nodded: "For example, in that incident, the emperor came forward, and the old thief dared to agree?" ”

Su Jin was overjoyed, if this is the case, this matter must be handled well, it is related to the happiness of a lifetime.
