Thank you for your tips, thank you very much, and thank you all for your monthly passes!

Li Chao hoped that after the drought and locust plague occurred, when the crops were not harvested, the imperial court would have grain to put away. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With food in hand, you can pacify and control the victims.

Li Chao's words, Shangzhou Assassin Shi did not dare not listen, Li Chao is now not only the right servant of the school inspection book, Pingzhangshi, and Hubu Shangshu, but also their current boss, Shannan Dongdao Xuanfu Envoy, Shannan Dongdao Metropolitan Governor. Li Chao even hung up on the observation that he could directly promote them.

The list was posted, and the officials announced it everywhere, beating gongs and drums.

As soon as the government's Hemai list came out, the big clans, wealthy households, and landlords all received the official documents.

Many people were watching, some were secretly complaining, and some people were pulling truckloads of grain to the government as soon as possible.

The grain merchants of Xinfeng Hall acted the fastest, and more than 100 grain merchants of all sizes directly organized a large convoy to pull a cart of grain to come, and they also wore red and hung colors, and beat gongs and drums.

"Reported to His Royal Highness the Prince, Li Xiangguo, and Du Li, who had Xinfeng Hall outside, and more than 100 grain merchants, after receiving the official document and buying it, they immediately responded, and the grain has now been delivered. There is a list here, which is the 137 grain merchants of the Xinfeng Guild Hall, who voluntarily sold grain to the imperial court at market prices for a total of 180,000 stones. ”

Shangzhou Thorn Shi's face lit up.

He was worried that after the official document was sent, he was afraid that no one would respond, and then he would be cold. I can't imagine that there are people who are so positive and so beautiful as soon as they make a shot.

180,000 stones, this number is auspicious, eighteen, to be sent.

That Du Li is usually a very delicate person, but he didn't expect that he would be so knowledgeable. It's really a great help to him, and I usually don't take care of him in vain.

With this 180,000 stone of grain, he can be regarded as a good start.

Li Chao couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He was also worried that he would encounter great resistance to buying this matter, but he didn't expect someone to support it so much.

"Xinfeng Hall, Du Li, what is the identity of this person?" Li Chao asked.

"If you return to Xiangguo, this Xinfeng Hall is one of the dozens of halls in Shangluo City, Shangzhou, China. They are all built by the Xinfeng merchants in Guanzhong, and most of these merchants are engaged in grain trading and transportation industries, so this hall is also called Xinfeng Grain Store. Du Li, a native of Xinfeng, the owner of the hall, is said to be a side branch of Jingzhao Du's family. ”

As soon as he said this, Li Chao didn't understand.

This Du Li turned out to be the doorman of Du Ruhan's family.

No wonder such a strong wind came out to support, maybe it was the Du family's instructions, maybe not, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that this Du Li made a good start.

"Is Du Li white?"

"Back to Xiangguo, Du Li is a good person, but he is white."

There are also several kinds of merchants, one is the merchant, which is generally those professional merchants, such as the shopkeeper of the shop, the man, the steward of the trading house, etc., these people are specialized in this industry, and even several generations are engaged in this kind of business. Their status belongs to the business register, which is relatively cheap.

Generally speaking, businessmen refer to this kind of people, who are not even qualified to participate in the imperial examinations and become officials, and they are not even qualified to go to the government to select soldiers.

And there is another kind of businessman, that is, although he is engaged in business-related, he is still a good citizen in terms of status. Such a person is both a businessman and a businessman.

Du Li is such an identity, he is in charge of business, but his identity does not belong to the business register, but to the good citizen. For a person like him, if someone takes care of him, then there is no problem in selecting government soldiers and taking the imperial examination.

Li Chao turned his head to Cheng Gan and said, "This Du Li is a disciple of Du Xiang's country, and this time he is especially supportive of the imperial court's Hemai, he is a good citizen, His Highness can summon him." ”

Li Chengqian made an exception today and put on the prince's dress, and tried his best to pose there as Li Chao explained. After listening to Li Chao's words, he pretended to nod.

"Well, then summon Du Li to come and watch alone."

Outside the Yamen of the Assassin History, Du Li and more than 100 other grain merchants of the Xinfeng Hall were standing there with some expectation and nervousness. Today, everyone listened to Du Li's words, took the initiative to come, and took out more than half of the stored grain at once, and scraped together 180,000 stones, which can be regarded as a bloody investment.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, and they have invested in the capital, of course, hoping for a return.

"The prince ordered, summon Du Li and other ten good businessmen to meet!"

Shangguan Yi, dressed in shining bright light armor, came to the yamen and announced loudly.

When Du Li heard the news, a smile appeared on his face, he could see the prince, it was enough for him Du Li to brag for a lifetime, and it would be his capital in the future.

There are nine other places, which are directly selected according to the top 10 grain sellers.

Compared with Du Li, these people are not so calm.

I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I want to see Li Xiangguo, my face flushed with excitement when I thought about it, my legs trembled, my lips trembled, and I couldn't speak.

The ten grain merchants were all strictly searched by Shangguan Yi, and they were taken to take a shower naked first, and then changed into white cloth robes.

After bathing, he changed into white clothes, and was then taught the etiquette of meeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before being taken into the yacha.

Li Chengqian sat in the hall with a serious face.

Li Chao was dressed in a purple robe and jade belt and sat aside.

The momentum of these two men is very strong, anyway, those lowly grain merchants feel very atmospheric when they see them.

"Sit down!"

Li Chengqian and Li Chao have been together for a long time, and their ability to pretend to be powerful is very strong.

Li Chao really can't see it, this is the Li Chengqian who has big pants and a small vest all day long, and his flamboyant tongue is delicious every day.

Between the noble prince, and some lowly grain merchants, or some small grain merchants, of course, there is not much to say. Summoning them is already a blessing they have cultivated in their previous lives, and it is an incomparable glory for their family.

A few clichés have already made a group of grain merchants dizzy.

Li Chao turned his head sideways and said to Cheng Gan, "Your Highness, these grain merchants are so loyal and patriotic, how can they not be rewarded?" The minister suggested that they should posthumously give their ancestors the ranks. ”

Li Chengqian asked, "What rank did Gu Dang posthumously give to their ancestors?" ”

"You can posthumously give away the five-rank loose rank." Li Chao replied.

Chase the five grades of the scattered rank, and the doctor is scattered. It sounds glorious, but it's actually a good thing. Li Chao did not ask Li Chengqian to confer official titles on Du Li and other ten people, but only gave them the deceased father or ancestor of these ten people, anyway, the ancestors who had died, and posthumously presented them with an official rank.

It is a posthumous rank, not an official position.

This posthumous gift is very interesting, generally the imperial court posthumously presents the ancestors of those meritorious officials, and the living generally do not get such glory anyway. is that after his death, he had no official in the first place, and he was posthumously presented as an official.
