Chapter 660: The Treacherous Scheme Succeeded?
The high-roller from Huguang was obviously full of sincerity, and even promised Chen Wenshan, "If your county has enough grain, you can pay the deposit at this moment!" ”
Chen Wenshan was even more excited, seeing that this person came to Longtan to buy rice with sincerity, and didn't want to miss out on such a big customer, he decided to treat each other with sincerity. ”
Longtan rice rolls are also a companion product after the rice turmoil, and with this coupon in the territory of Nanzhili, you can exchange huàn rice from all major named rice merchants, especially the named rice coupons with the surname Shen of Changshu and the surname of Zhou in Taicang are the most popular among millet merchants everywhere.
The Huguang High Roller laughed, "The price of rice in Tianfu is overturning, and I am also here to admire it!" Then he made a silent expression. Obviously, this person also heard that the price of rice in Yingtianfu had plummeted, and wanted to buy rice to fight the autumn breeze and take advantage of it.
Chen Wenshan doesn't mind this person buying low and selling high, as long as he is willing to take away all the rice coupons in his hand, even if he lets him make some more profits, he is willing to do it. However, although he is in the officialdom, he also knows some important things for business, that is, he can't reveal all the details of himself, so he is still reserved: "If you expect the price of rice to be as low as half a month ago, you are afraid that you will be disappointed, although it is still not very high now, the list has always risen." ”
The high roller said casually: "If you come, you will be safe, and you will open the skylight to say something bright, if your county can come out with this number, you can place a deposit today, if you really can't do it, you won't make much noise in the next." At the same time, the high roller stretched out his right hand and lowered it, gesturing a number.
Chen Wenshan's heart was beating wildly, this number was still above the bottom line in his heart, how could he not be excited. He still had to maintain the same reserved attitude as before, even though his voice was shaky enough to be clearly heard.
"The rice coupons of the county, how to exchange huàn into rice, I have to explain it clearly and listen to the distinguished guests......"
The high roller waved his hand: "I have already inquired about what the county lord wants to say, otherwise how can I press this price?" If all the rice in the county is here, I'm afraid that if you add eight yuan, you may not be willing to sell it, right? ”
This rhetorical question is talking about Chen Wenshan's heart, it is true, he has been an official for many years, and he has dealt with all kinds of people, but there are not many people who are as happy as today. Just thinking of this, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and he became suspicious.
"In the past, it has always been a wave of three responsibilities to do something, and it seems that it is now so easy for the first time in decades, right?" Then he secretly scolded himself again: "Bah, it's really cheap, when things are difficult, pray for a good time, but when things go well, you look forward and backward?" Is that a person who has achieved great things? Besides, since he met the marquis of Zhenyu, his official fortune and financial fortune have been rising, which is also the so-called unlucky delivery, and now it is not officially handed over? ”
The high roller sat quietly in the guest seat, holding the tea bowl and sipping the tea slowly, seemingly unaware of the ups and downs of Chen Wenshan's inner struggle. Just wait for him to sit down and decide.
In Longtan Daying, there have been more official documents from Jiangbei in the past few days, and Li Xin is still as good as before, and Mi Yan and Li Da are assisting in transcribing official documents. However, at this moment, Li Da was dragging an official letter in his palm, and his face looked a little dignified.
"The military report in Jiangbei said that the situation in Henan was erosive, and the thieves went out of Henan to attack Shandong again, and the Grand Canal was only afraid that it would be intermittent."
Without waiting for Li Xin to answer, Mi Yan on the side also pointed to a military report in front of his case, and said strangely: "It's really weird!" If you look at my military report, it clearly says that Yang Sichang achieved a great victory in Henan, beheaded more than 10,000 people, and lifted the siege of Kaifeng by thieves in one fell swoop. At the same time, he pointed to another military newspaper, "Look at this newspaper, even the emperor has issued a decree to praise him, how can he talk about the erosion of the situation?" ”
Li Xin was also confused, what is the problem with these two contradictory military newspapers? He took the two copies of the military newspaper and read them carefully, and when his eyes fell on the time to settle the payment, he suddenly realized. It turned out that there was a time difference of half a month. The military report of Henan's great victory was half a month ago.
After Li Xin's guidance, Mi Yan and Li Da also suddenly realized, only then did they realize that they had ignored the time payment under the nervousness. Li Da seemed to remember something and quickly flipped through the several official documents in front of his case, and then frowned and asked: "It's really strange, more than half of my official documents here are ten days ago." ”
Hearing Li Da say this, Mi Yan also looked through the official documents and military newspapers in front of his case, and it turned out to be the same. After a while, he suddenly realized, "Needless to say, except for Zhang Fangyan, who is stationed in Jiangbei, how can he be so desolate in military affairs?" The official document of the military newspaper ten days ago was delayed until today, but fortunately there is nothing bad about it, otherwise this old man will not be able to escape the blame! ”
Mi Yan's voice was already a little excited at the end, and his good impression of Zhang Fangyan, an old man with a round outer circle and a square inside, was gone.
Li Da seemed to wake up again, patted his head and said: "Jiangbei is doing this, I'm afraid it's not a causeless effect, right?" As he spoke, he looked at Li Xin, but his eyes flickered with the desire to speak.
In fact, there is no need for Li Da to remind him, Li Xin has already guessed the thoughts of the Jiangbei side, and the reason why he did this is that he is afraid that the Jiangbei side has already started to transfer the Three Guards to Shandong to quell the chaos and clear the Grand Canal.
Mi Yan quickly thought of this, and slapped the table case with some indignation.
"How? Want to borrow a knife to kill someone? Don't talk about whether the thief's strength is worthy or not, just so hard at Jiangbei, we can't take their wish lightly! ”
Li Da echoed in a timely manner: "What Brother Mi said is very true! ”
The eyes of the two people looked at Li Xin in unison, as if they were waiting for him to make a decision, but Li Xin pushed the official document in front of him, "What are you looking at me for?" These are all expired documents, don't delay my work here anymore, go back and rest! ”
Li Xin got up and stretched out a long lazy waist, the candle flame in the room flickered, and the night outside was getting darker.
……
"Li Xin's guy has already been tricked! Sold 800,000 stone of rice coupons in his hand to Zuo Menggeng's house, and this plan can be regarded as a success. ”
The old servant was overjoyed and excited, and praised the head of the family, Ruan Dacheng, for being like a god, and it was Zhuge Kongming who was alive. However, then he was a little worried, "The difficulty is in the promotion, to find such a suitable candidate, you have to think carefully." ”
Ruan Dacheng laughed: "Why bother to think about it, the ready-made candidates are in front of you, wouldn't it be a pity not to!" It's a pity that Zuo Liangyu Hero I gave birth to such a stupid son, they all say that the tiger father has no dog son, it seems that the tiger has nine sons, the children are different, and they are like wolves and tigers, and there are stupid and stupid people like pigs and dogs, and they are not even like fathers! ”
The old servant saw that the head of the family had sold the guanzi, and he didn't want to continue to ask how to raise it, but he just echoed, "What the master said, don't talk about ordinary people, isn't it the same even in the heavenly family?" Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty was so wise and scheming, but his son asked the hungry people why they didn't eat minced meat. Emperor Wen of Sui opened a new dynasty with his martial arts, didn't he also give birth to unscrupulous people such as Yang Guang, and caused Jiangshan II to die......"
Ruan Dacheng's old servant does have some insight, although he is a slave of his family, but he is not comparable to ordinary family slaves, so he has repeatedly entrusted secret affairs to him to handle.
"Don't talk about this, Zuo Liangyu can't get on the stage than them, and King Shen is even more ......" He wanted to say that King Shen was just a conspiracy and ambition like King Ning during the Zhengde period, but in fact, he didn't have the intelligence and luck to share half of the big things. However, when the words came to his mouth, he stopped again, after all, it involves the secrets of this dynasty, and he must be cautious in everything he says and does, otherwise he will be caught by those Fushe Xiaoxiao who make trouble all day long, and some of them will really have a headache.
So Ruan Dacheng changed the subject, "Didn't you just ask, who should be used to raise it?" In fact, the candidate for this matter has been there for a long time, but it is there! ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the east, and the old servant immediately understood that the place where the people of the Restoration Society often gathered was in the east of Ruan Dacheng's mansion, so they never said their names in private when they talked about the people of the Restoration Society, but only pointed to the east to refer to them.
The old servant's eyes are also bright, and it is most appropriate for these stunned young people to do this. First of all, if the people of the Restoration Society want to be enemies of the head of the family, they will raise it, and no one will suspect the head of the family. In addition, the influence of the Fushe cadres and others in Shilin and the imperial court is obviously better than that of a certain official, and if they raise it to the imperial court, or even do some radical behavior, the influence will be more objective.
The old servant suddenly realized a problem, so he blurted out: "Could it be that the old man didn't plan to let Zuo Mengeng transport the grain out of Nanzhili?" ”
Ruan Dacheng showed a little smile on his face, with a hint of teachableness.
"Not only can't their food get out of Nanzhili, but they also have empty gloves for the white wolf!"
Ruan Dacheng's plan is that according to Zuo Menggeng's prior arrangement, he will inevitably go to Changshu to transport rice after he buys the rice coupon, so it is particularly important to grasp the time of the resumption of the society. It must be that when they hand over the money and food, and the fleet will not be released, the people of the Fushe will make a big deal and muddy the waters, and then Zuo Mengeng will become the target of everyone, but I am afraid that the fleet he hired will not even be able to get out of Changshu!
At that time, these grains will still be in the Shen family in Changshu, and the silver in the Shen family's pocket will be more powerful if they want to spit it out again. This is also the idea of Ruan Dacheng who has been playing well a long time ago, the white wolf with empty gloves. Regarding this point, he has already communicated with the patriarch of the Shen family in Changshu, just waiting for it to come to fruition! King Shen's intentions are ill-intentioned, and Li Xin's sale of rice with him will inevitably shake the government and the opposition, so that the gunpowder and guns are loaded, and the arquebus will be lit by the lords in the court. And what is waiting for Li Xin can only be described by an idiom, disaster is not a single line!
What a master and a servant said was rising, and before he knew it, the sky was already bright, but he was unaware that the family members climbed and pushed the door in.
