Chapter 65: Road Money

(The second update, ask for a red ticket)

Returning to the twenty-mile road, it was very convenient to take the carriage, Fan Ding took Su Mei's identity deed and returned to the estuary, delayed for less than an hour, Su Mei received the news first, and had been waiting in the grass hall for a long time.

"Su Mei thanked the marquis and the old ......"

No matter what kind of purpose is hidden behind it, Yuan Guizheng can let Fan Ding bring the deed of identity today and allow himself to get out of the country, and this favor still has to be inherited. Su Mei knelt on the ground and gave a big gift to Yuan Guizheng and Fan Ding.

Yuan Guizheng laughed and said, "When will Miss Su Mei invite us to eat the wedding wine that you and Lin Zhizhi made?" The cypress garden in Dustpan Lane and the small cypress garden here are the dowries that I and the feudal elder gave you. ”

Fan Ding also prepared, and took the title deed and house deed of Baiyuan and Xiaobaiyuan, put them together with the deed, and handed them to Su Mei; From then on, even if Su Mei was out of the country, it had nothing to do with the feudal building!

Su Mei took over his own deed, stood up, blushed, and said, "Master Hou made fun of Su Mei." ”

Yuan Guizheng was only shy when Su Mei saw that she had taken over the land deeds of Bai Yuan and Xiao Bai, and how to arrange it next was a matter between her and Lin Lian, and she didn't ask anything more.

Besides, if Lin Jian wants to marry Su Mei as a concubine, he can only marry secretly. Lin Bin's main room, the Gu family, is the daughter of Gu Wuchen, the Gu family is now a prominent family in Jiangning City, and the son-in-law is busy marrying a singer in Jiangning City, and the Gu family's face is always dull.

Su Mei got rid of her nationality and is no longer a singer, so she has to abide by the rules of a good woman. There is still something to talk about here, so she will leave and go back to Xiaobaiyuan first. The mother-in-law, maids, and nurses of the clan family will all be withdrawn today, and there are still many things to sit on.

For the generosity of Yuan Guizheng, Lin Jian did not express it, he picked up the teacup, sipped slightly, and said: "In the past, the two families were a little unhappy, but today they have disappeared, the feudal building is a few businesses in Jiangning, and the business is also big, I also want to ask the veteran of the domain to do the business in Chongzhou, and add some financial resources to Chongzhou......

"How dare the old child disobey the invitation?" Fan Ding laughed.

Previously, due to the death of Tang Haoxin, Lin Jian held a grudge against the Liang family, and blockaded the merchant ships of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and the Fan Family, which was the ship of Yudong Gongzhuang, and the entry and exit of the river mouth was also greatly restricted.

The price of rice in Jiangdong is six dollars a catty, and Gyeonggi is almost ten times that amount. Although Gyeonggi Rice City was controlled by Zhang Xie and the household officials, in any case, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and the Liang family and the Empress Dowager Liang had to intervene in it, and Zhang Xie always had to share some meat.

Even if Zhang Xie allowed the feudal building to intervene in the Gyeonggi rice market on behalf of the Hou Party, he would always have to transport rice north to make a profit, but Jiangkou and Huaikou were blocked by Lin Bin, and although the feudal family had a few sea ships, they could not transport rice north.

On the side of Yudong Gongzhuang, because of the restriction of Lin Binding, they could only transport silver to the north, but they could not transport rice to the north, so they could not tell all kinds of hardships. This time, he took out 120,000 taels of silver and Su Mei's deed, even if he bought a road from Huaidong, it was worth it.

Of course, it's not enough to just buy access.

Among the merchants in Jiangning, the fleet of the feudal family is also considered to be one of the handful, but compared to the Heishui Ocean Shipping Company formed by the Lin family and the Jinhai maritime merchants, which has a shipping power of nearly 200,000 stones, the feudal family is too inadequate.

Counting the 100 stone boats that go to Huaikou and Jiaolai River, the total capacity of the Fanjia fleet is also about 10,000 stones. Although the offshore grain ships of the Heishui Ocean Shipping Company sail from Chongzhou to Jinhai directly, with fast speed and high efficiency, and can go five or six times a year, the offshore route cycle of Huaikou and Jiaolai River is extremely long, and it can go two times a year, which is already the limit.

With such a lot of effort, of course, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion is not just to transport an extra 20,000 stone rice grain into Beijing every year for sale.

Fan Ding smiled and squinted, and said: "There is a surplus of rice and grain in the feudal mansion every year, but there is too much shortage on the Gyeonggi side, and without a big ship, the two sides will not be able to help." Xiao Lao'er wants to discuss with the envoy, the surplus rice and grain on the Jiangdong side can be sold to Huaidong at a discount, but if we want to make the system make it possible to pull out some extra rice and grain in Jinhai to supplement us, we can settle the settlement at a higher price than the official price......"

"I don't know how much rice grain can be left in Jiangdong every year?" Lin Jian asked quietly, and did not look at Yuan Guizheng's expression.

"I don't really know what to do?" Fan Ding asked.

"Oh," Lin Jian patted his head, and suddenly realized, "Did the feudal elder say that the rice grain left over from the Yudong Palace Festival?" ”

Fan Ding nodded, Yudong Gongzhuang is separated from Chongzhou by a river, and it is impossible to hide from Lin Lian's eyes. If Lin Jian really fooled the past, he would not have blocked the way out of Yudong Gongzhuang so carefully before.

Yudong Gongzhuang is the private land of the Empress Dowager Liang, and the income of money and grain, also known as the granular silver of the palace, is privately withdrawn by the Empress Dowager Liang.

In order to avoid arousing the vigilance of Emperor Chongguan, the amount of silver that is openly transported north every year is very limited, and the excess part is secretly digested by the feudal mansion and diverted to the Liang family and the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.

Yudong Gongzhuang and Chongzhou are separated by a river, how can Lin Jian not find out the situation of Yudong Gongzhuang in the past two years?

There are more than 12,000 households in Yudong Gongzhuang, and more than 4,000 hectares of grain and cotton fields have actually been reclaimed, but less than a quarter of the data reported to the internal government department have been reported. According to the regulations, the surplus grain of Yudong Gongzhuang must be purchased by the official warehouse of Pingjiang Prefecture, which is almost more than 80,000 stone japonica rice every year. After deducting the daily expenses of the palace, almost 20,000 taels of silver go north every year and are sent to the Empress Dowager Liang's Wanshou Palace for use.

The extra rice grain digested by Yudong Gongzhuang to the grain merchants of Pingjiang Prefecture through the feudal mansion every year is more than 300,000 stones. Pingjiang Prefecture planted mulberry cotton in a large area, resulting in a decrease in grain fields, and the grain production of Yudong Gongzhuang made up for the lack of grain demand in Pingjiang Prefecture.

A large amount of silver money flowed into the hands of the Liang family and the Yongchang Marquis Mansion through the feudal building.

Fan Ding looked at Yuan Guizheng, how to determine the final number, and he had to make an idea.

"There are always 200,000 stone japonica rice...... Yuan Guizheng said.

"I don't lose Hou Ye's," Lin Jian said, "Hou Ye handed me 200,000 stone japonica rice in Chongzhou, then I will take 40,000 stone japonica rice for Hou Ye in Jinhai!" ”

Fan Ding secretly felt that Lin Bin's heart was so black, 200,000 stone japonica rice, he opened his mouth and ate eighty percent!

"What about 300,000 stones?" Yuan Guizheng asked quietly.

"Sixty thousand stones!" Lin Jian said, "It can't be any more, Jinhai and my eldest brother also have to share the profits; Besides, the capacity of the whole line is very limited, and the annual grain of 2.4 million stone of the household must be guaranteed, and it is not easy to squeeze out 60,000 stone! ”

"How quickly can I get food in Jinhai?" Yuan Guizheng asked.

"The rice grain in Chongzhou is in the warehouse, and the Jinhai side can be withdrawn at the same time!" Lin Jian said.

In addition to delivering rice and grain to the Jinhai warehouse of the household department on time, Lin Xuwen and Sun Shangwang also mastered a large amount of additional grain in Jinhai. Some of this grain is surplus from the capacity of the grain road; In addition, although the three prefectures of Yannan were severely devastated, the production organization of Hejian Prefecture, especially Jinhai County, was relatively well restored, and some grain was saved.

Since Gyeonggi Rice City was controlled by Zhang Xie and household officials, Lin Xuwen and Sun Shangwang had an additional large amount of grain in Jinhai, which was mainly used to adjust the transportation capacity of the Jinhai grain road. In addition, it is also necessary to be prepared, and allocate 60,000 stone of rice grain from it to the rear party, and the problem will not be very big.

As long as the Hou Party can open up the opening of Zhang Xiehe and the household department, and get a piece of the pie from the Gyeonggi rice market, 60,000 stone of rice grain, they can make a lot of profits.

Even if a considerable part of the profit will flow into the Liang family, Chongzhou will make more profits. After this deal is completed, Chongzhou's rice grain reserves can increase by 300,000 stones, so what can not be done?

At this time, Chongzhou also has to reserve materials on a large scale, even if it is in the land of fish and rice, the rice grain reserve should be maintained at more than one million stones, which is a relatively reasonable level.

"Okay, let's do that!" Yuan Guizheng is the final word.

Fan Ding is helpless to think about it, the entire Jinhai grain road is controlled in the hands of the Dongyang family, and he can take 60,000 stone rice grain into Beijing and exchange it for silver, which should be enough for the Liang family to build a road from Jinan Mansion to Weihe! At that time, the benefits of going north to Surabaya will be taken to Jinan, and then the rice and grain will be transported to Gyeonggi through the Wei River.

After negotiating things, Yuan Guizheng, Yuan Jinsheng, and Fan Ding said goodbye and left, and did not say whether to invite a banquet, the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and the Huaidong Military Division had too close contacts, and it was not good to hear it out, and Yuan Guizheng did not want the Yongchang Marquis Mansion to be targeted by Ning Wangfu from now on.

*************

Lin Jian walked back to the East Wing Courtyard, stood in front of the window with his sleeve hands, looked at Gao Zongting in the outer courtyard, arched his hand and said, "Let Mr. Gao wait for a long time." ”

"The envoy is polite," Gao Zongting said, "The Marquis of Yongchang is gone?" ”

"Let's go," Lin Jian said, "he wants to get 60,000 stone rice grain from Jinhai, and I have already agreed to him." ”

"In addition to handing it over to the household department, how much rice and grain have you saved in Jinhai?" Gao Zongting asked.

"Li Bingbu wants to attack Liaoxi, and I can supply an additional 100,000 stone grain," Lin Jian said, "I originally planned to take Daishan and Changguo first, and suppress the luxury water camp in the inner line and did nothing." After that, the main force of the Jinghai Division was able to escape and go north. If Li's troops can fight Liaoxi after that, I will at least be able to suppress the Goryeo naval army on the northern front and strike at the coast of Liaodong. Now, although I threw out a plan to King Ning to use troops, I don't know if someone will drag Huaidong's hind feet behind his back and report to the luxury family. I think that no matter how smooth it is, the main force of the Jinghai Division will be drawn out after the autumn of next year. Why didn't Li Bingbu try his best to stop Chen Zhihu from going south? At this time, it is too dangerous to only use the Jibei Army to fight Liaoxi! ”

"What good plan can Li Shuai have?" Gao Zongting said bitterly, "Although Li Shuai is in the position of the secretary of the military department, but the princes of the imperial court, Li Shuai is the last to know Chen Zhihu's order. Li Shuai entered the palace to advise, but he didn't even see the emperor's face, and the emperor asked Li Shuai, how long has the five-year period passed? Even if Chen Zhihu is not transferred south, Li Shuai will be ousted if he does not fight in western Liaoning this year! ”

"......" Lin Jian was speechless, he was still suffocating everywhere in Jiangning, how could Li Zhuo's situation in Yanjing be good? After thinking for a moment, he said, "Since they are so taboo that Li Bingbu holds military power, why didn't Mr. Gao persuade Li Bingbu to hand over military power?" ”

"I have persuaded," Gao Zongting said quickly, "Li Shuai said that he would have more hope if he went to fight Liaoxi; Even if you lose, retreat is it, and you won't retreat and hurt your vitality! ”
