Chapter Eighty-Three: The High Wind and Bright Festival
The residence of the governor of Henan.
"When the army first came, Kaifeng should have tried its best to supply." Gao Mingheng paused, and said with a wry smile: "But the people in the city are like this, and I am afraid that the Qin Supervisor Army also knows it." There really is no military ration to raise. ”
Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "It seems that Master Gao thought that I was here to cry for food." ”
"Isn't it?" Gao Mingheng complained in his heart, but there was a smile on his face: "The friendly army of Shandong Town has entered Henan, and these chores should have been helped by Henan." It's just that...... Really...... It's ......."
As he spoke, Gao Mingheng was also stuck.
Zhu Cihong didn't care about this, but said: "If the governor thinks so, the lower officials are already satisfied." The local people in Henan are willing to supply military rations, and the whole town of Shandong can naturally fight with peace of mind. Regardless of the food for the time being, as long as the rest of the military food can be supplied, it is also a great good. ”
"This ...... Of course it should be. Gao Mingheng had some doubts, and his speech became slurred, and he didn't have the style of a local military and political chief at all. Here, of course, because Zhu Cihong is already the commander of the Henan war, the most fundamental thing is ...... Guilty. The weakness of the heart lies in the fact that the grain in the Henan treasury is not willing to be taken out to alleviate the shortage of grain in the city, nor is it willing to be handed over to Zhu Cihong's Shandong Town. He didn't want to let Henan Bing Province eat frugally, so he gave Shandong Town a fragrant and spicy meal. Moreover, this time there was a shortage of grain, and Henan official Wu Shijiao and others also participated: "It's just that there is a shortage of grain and rice, and you have to think of a way again." Not to mention anything else, as soon as there is a shortage of food, the whole Kaifeng will be in chaos. ”
"Okay, then the lower official has a happy event to tell the governor." Zhu Cihong laughed loudly and looked at Gao Mingheng with blazing eyes.
"Oh?" Gao Mingheng suddenly became vigilant.
Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "There are millions of people in Kaifeng. In fact, there is a lot of grain in stock. As long as the people believe that there is enough food, the merchants believe that it is not profitable to speculate on grain and rice. The dilemma of food shortage in the natural city can be alleviated. The people have no worries about food, so naturally they will not rush to buy. Merchants are out of profit. Naturally, they will no longer hesitate to sell. When the time comes, the matter of military ration collection will naturally go with the flow and be solved without breaking it. ”
"That's right." Gao Mingheng bowed his head slowly: "But there is indeed a shortage of food in the city." There is still a shortage of military supplies, let alone people's homes. Even the upper and lower treasury of Henan is also empty of grain and rice, and even the supply of military materials is not enough, not to mention the market price. ”
As he spoke, Gao Mingheng became more and more vigilant. Didn't Zhu Cihong want to let himself catch the people who rushed to buy? It's not right, the people's feelings are like water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. At this time, the people who rushed to buy grain and rice were the big waves of the river, like the rushing water of the Yellow River, who would dare to resist?
Could it be that he is looking for a grain store to raid his house?
It seems that merchants have always been sheep to the slaughter of the powerful. But at this time, those who dare to hype up grain and rice are all characters with extravagant backgrounds. Kaifeng prefect Wu Shi said not to say, the supervisor Hou Sui's Guide Hou family under the command of many rice lines, the same powerful and wealthy Jiao family rice line, which is not in Kaifeng intertwined, the power is amazing. There's not a single one to mess with!
"This ...... The enemy outside the city is current, but the city is still ...... It's still ......" Gao Mingheng pondered: "The town is quiet." ”
"Haha...... Adults are worried. Zhu Cihong laughed and said: "The market affairs mainly rely on market forces to solve. Administrative methods are not always so symptomatic. If you want to stabilize the price of rice, of course, you must put grain and rice to solve the dilemma of supply and demand. ”
Now. Gao Mingheng became more vigilant.
I have already emphasized the shortage of the treasury once, why does Zhu Cihong still mention the need to put grain and rice?
It's just that Gao Mingheng hasn't said anything yet. Zhu Cihong looked like I knew, and said loudly: "This time the people in the city. The lower officials will contribute and solve it with one force! ”
"What?" Gao Mingheng was stunned. His face was full of disbelief and felt like he was in a dream. Shocked and surprised, he hurriedly asked, "Lord Qin, ...... Qin This, Lord Qin will solve it with one effort? Solve this ...... This lack of food in Kaifeng? That is to say......"
"Not bad!" Zhu Cihong's expression was firm, as if bathed in the holy light of benevolence and righteousness: "The people of Kaifeng are short of food, everyone is worried, not only can the military funds not be raised, but the millions of people in the city will fall into the suffering of hunger strike without food. In the history books of the past dynasties, I can't bear to read the matter of changing children and eating. How can this official ignore such a thing? Therefore, this official decided to crack down on speculation and speculation in rice prices, open up military rations to supply the people, and stabilize Kaifeng! ”
"Lord Qin is really ......" Gao Mingheng couldn't think of any words to describe for a while: "Gao Feng Liang Festival...... Benevolence and virtue are unparalleled. ”
"The Governor has won the prize." Zhu Cihong regained his composure, chuckled, and said: "It's just that Shandong Town is a military town after all, and it is inconvenient to meddle in civil affairs. Therefore, the lower officials need the real support of the governor, open a commercial house, have the right to sell grain alone, and even more need local support, so as not to be disturbed by the small night. ”
Hearing Zhu Cihong say this, Gao Mingheng was already pleasantly surprised. Someone came forward to calm the price of rice and alleviate the crisis of food shortage in Kaifeng City, such a good thing, where would Gao Mingheng hesitate, and immediately said: "This matter, this official will definitely help!" Make a difference! ”
……
On the private room that occupied the entire third floor of the Qixiang Pavilion, Hou Fangyu held his hands behind his back and looked at a small business house that occupied two facades downstairs outside the window, and frowned: "What is the origin of this Hengxin Commercial Bank, how dare you ...... Dare to be out of line? Thirteen taels, beyond the number of roads booked! Is it the people under the hands of the six of us who are united in the discussion? ”
Hou Fangyu said this, and several young people in the private room suddenly became anxious.
These people are all dressed in brocade clothes, and they look pampered, and they are obviously rich and noble. And those who can be with Hou Fangyu at this time are naturally the people of the six families that Hou Fangyu said.
"It's not us! The grain and rice of Jiaojia Rice Store are all fixed, and these days are diligent and diligent, and there is no omission. It's impossible to open another rice shop! ”
"Our Liang family's rice shop has no possibility of opening grain again, the guy who runs the hall there, the shopkeeper who presides, none of them is from the Liang family!"
"Yes, it's not our Qi family. The six of us are all famous and surnamed in Kaifeng City, and the guys may not recognize them, but which one of the shopkeepers who came out alone can't recognize them? ”
"It's strange, isn't it the Wu family?"
……
As soon as they said this, these people in the field suddenly realized that there was really one person missing. There are a total of six grain stores that are jointly hyped, but there are only five people in total.
"Fart!" Suddenly, a person strode upstairs, and when he heard the words, he suddenly scolded angrily: "Slandering our Wu family like this, could it be that you can please the grain store from all over the world?" Chaozong, I inquired clearly! These grains are all military rations! (To be continued......)
