Chapter 238 Method
Yan Biyun straightened her underwear, picked up the purple skirt on the hanger and put it on, combed her long hair carefully in front of the mirror, pulled a double bun, inserted jewelry between the cloud temples, and carefully tied the jewel and gold necklace given to her by Su Jin on her swan-like slender neck.
Su Jin watched her dress up intently, only to feel that every move she made carried a suffocating beauty, and actually forgot that Yan Biyun hadn't answered his question yet.
Yan Biyun finished dressing up, turned his head to look at Su Jin's stunned appearance, and sneered: "Where did you come from, the goose, I came here early in the morning in a daze, and I didn't get out of bed, the slave family has something to show you." ”
Su Jin smiled awkwardly, hurriedly got out of bed, and sat down with Yan Biyun to the desk outside, Yan Biyun took out a box from a small cupboard, and after opening it, there was a thick stack of letters and papers inside.
Yan Biyun picked up the top letter and handed it to Su Jindao: "Take a look." ”
Su Jin took it and looked at the envelope, there was not a word on it, and said suspiciously: "Whose letter, how come there is not even an address, recipient, or signature." ”
Yan Biyun smiled: "Do you still need these letters from my uncle?" The letter sent by the servant at home is not delivered by the official express delivery bureau, and I am afraid that it will not be delivered to the wrong place? ”
Su Jin nodded silently, took out the letterhead to take a closer look, it was indeed Yan Shu's letter to Yan Biyun's family, and he talked about the family routine, saying that everything at home is fine, and he is in good health, obviously Yan Biyun's answer to the letter of greetings, and the latter gradually involved some recent things in the court and trivial matters in office, and then a few words that appeared one after another made Su Jin's mood tense all of a sudden.
“…… This year, there is a great drought in the south, and the whole court is worried about the food this winter and next spring, and the saint has called the court to discuss this matter, but the 'meal reduction order' is really a helpless move, and it is difficult to solve the fundamental worries of a drop in the bucket, and every time I think of this, my heart is like a burning ......."
Su Jin sighed and said, "Does the imperial court finally know about the great drought in the south?" ”
Yan Biyun picked up the teacup and poured a cup of tea for Su Jin, sat next to Su Jin and said, "How could the imperial court not know about this?" I am afraid that the drought in the south has long been reported to the imperial court, but the imperial court has not paid attention to it; Later, the drought became more and more severe, spreading to nearly 20 state capitals in the south, and by that time there was nothing to be done. ”
Su Jin said: "It turns out that this meal reduction order is to save food, how much can this save?" And how many people can actually implement this decree? The people eat more and eat less, is it possible that the government still sends people to watch from door to door? It's ridiculous. ”
Yan Biyun frowned and said: "It is true that all this can only be done by consciousness, if you want to force the execution, I am afraid that it is not possible, the imperial court is just an example, if you can save a little, you can save a little, and by next spring, every grain of grain will become extremely valuable." ”
Su Jin was silent, thinking carefully about what the problem was.
Yan Biyun continued: "Uncle is afraid that there will be a few more hairs for this matter, and we as juniors can't help with such a big thing, which is really worrying. ”
Su Jin stood up and paced slowly, lowering her head and thinking, Yan Biyun looked at Su Jin, she didn't know what he was thinking, but she didn't interrupt her, she was used to Su Jin's sudden silence and pacing back and forth when she was thinking about the problem.
"Sister Yan, I have a solution, or I can solve the current dilemma." Su Jin suddenly stopped and looked at Yan Biyundao.
Yan Biyun raised her eyes and looked at Su Jin, although she knew that Lang Jun was a talented person, but such a big matter, he said that there was a way to solve it, it was really hard to believe.
"Do you have a way? Can you do such a big thing? ”
"Of course I can't do ......it," Su Jin muttered, "but someone can do it." ”
"Who can do that? What's the solution? Yan Biyun saw that Su Jin seemed to be confident, and she believed it a little in her heart.
"You answer me a question first, is there really no food in the world?" Su Jin looked at Yan Biyun Dao.
Yan Biyun thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up and said, "You mean ......?"
"Yes, my little Su Ji, the grain in his hands has exceeded 80,000 stones, and several major merchants in Luzhou have secretly hoarded 300,000 stones, you think about it, the world's giant businessmen, there are more than 10 million people in the grain business, if they say that they have no grain in their hands, I don't believe it."
"Yes, the price of grain in the south has soared nearly three times in a few months, not to mention that you and the Luzhou Chamber of Commerce are stockpiling grain, the south has a bumper harvest last year, and there is plenty of grain in stock, if it weren't for many merchants to purchase grain, why would it soar so fast."
"It is this truth, and I have sent someone to inquire about the grain-producing areas in the Jingdong area, and the merchants in the Yingtian area of Bianliang have already collected not a drop of grain on the market, there is no grain in the market, and there is no grain in the official warehouse, but there is countless grain in the secret granary of the merchants."
"How many, in your opinion?"
"I just roughly estimated that the amount of grain stored by the merchants is at least 50 million stones, and even if you can get fifty percent, you can help the imperial court solve this worry."
Yan Biyun was both excited and surprised, and said, "How much can it be?" ”
Su Jin said: "This is my rough estimate, the actual number or more, Lord Yan should have the names and business classification lists of all the merchants in the Great Song Dynasty, as long as you can know how many merchants in the Great Song Dynasty are engaged in grain and their scale, you can get a more accurate figure." ”
Yan Biyun excitedly grabbed Su Jin's hand and said, "If this matter is successful, you will not only solve a piece of your uncle's heart, but also make a great contribution to the imperial court." ”
Su Jin reached out and touched her face and said with a smile: "Don't be too happy too early, even if you estimate how much food you have, you need to have a good way to make these people spit it out willingly, otherwise it's not in vain?" ”
Yan Biyun nodded and said: "This is the truth, for example, you Su Ji has hoarded a large amount of grain, and when others inquire about it, you must also say that there is no grain in stock; First, the imperial court strictly investigates the crime of hoarding, and second, you hoard to make a lot of money, how can you take it out willingly. ”
Su Jin said: "That's right, this is the difficulty of this matter, you have to think of a good way to come out, once it is self-defeating, these people are afraid that they will collect the grain more tightly, and then not only can the matter not be done, but it will have a bad reputation, if you write to inform Lord Yan about this matter, you must remind him of this." ”
Yan Biyun got up and suddenly stretched out her mouth to kiss Su Jin's face, this was the first time Yan Biyun took the initiative to kiss herself, Su Jin was flattered, covered her face and said, "This is ......"
Yan Biyun blushed and said: "Lang Jun can think for the court, can think for my Yan family, the slave family is very happy, Lang Jun seems to be different from before, and he is more thoughtful." ”
Su Jin pretended to be disappointed and said: "It turned out to be for this, I thought that Yan Dadong's family gave me a kiss because they loved me, and it turned out to be because of gratitude." ”
Yan Biyun said angrily: "Is there any difference here? ”
Su Jin said: "The difference is big, if you love me, you will definitely kiss not here, but here." ”
Su Jinnu raised his mouth like a chicken butt, Yan Biyun picked up a piece of pastry on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, the pastry was fragile, and Su Jin's mouth was full of pastry crumbs, which looked more like a chicken butt.
Yan Biyun couldn't help but laugh when she looked at it, covered her mouth and smiled and bent over.
Su Jin had a bitter face, his hand was a chicken claw, and he hit the beauty's crisp breasts, so frightened that Yan Biyun hurriedly retracted.
Su Jin was still about to attack, Yan Biyun hurriedly begged softly: "Don't make trouble, everyone outside is up, you won't be able to see people after a while, you should also go to the academy to study, think about what is a good way today, ...... at night At night...... The slave family goes to see you, you have to find a way to get out, and the slave family still has a secret to tell you. ”
Su Jin wanted to pester and ask what secrets, but looking at the bright sky outside, there was really no time, Fang Zimo was not easy to mess with, even if Su Jin was already a big celebrity in the academy, even if Su Jin's water tune song had spread throughout Yingtianfu, as long as he was late, this old gentleman would not tolerate it, and would still wave the ring ruler with agility to punish him.
Su Jin had to get up, took advantage of Yan Biyun's unpreparedness, hugged him and gnawed hard for a while, and then let go of Yan Biyun and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.
Yan Biyun's face flushed, and she stood unsteadily holding on to the case, and it took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief, tidy up her clothes and hair, and said softly: "Wrongdoer! ”。
Yan Biyun thought for a moment, came to the side of the desk, polished the ink and laid the paper, and after a little thought, he wrote with a brush: "Worship my uncle, the family letter has been received, and there may be a solution to the worries that my uncle said; Today Su Jin mentioned ......"
In a moment, he wrote a few pages of paper, dried them, sealed them, and ordered them to be sent to the capital in a hurry.
