Although Lin Xulu can also take into account the overall situation and has a deep understanding of the mess faced by Jiangning City, Gu Tianqiao arrested Zhang Yubo without saying a word, which also made people angry.

Speaking of the grain merchants in Jiangning City, Gu Tianqiao is not the number one, and he Lin Xulu and the Jiyun Society, which Huaidong directly controls behind the scenes, are the first-class grain merchants. However, after the Huaidong soldiers and horses entered Jiangning, the manpower of the Jiyun Society was concentrated, mainly responsible for the supply of military supplies, and there was no interference in the rice market after the war in Jiangning.

Lin Xulu saw that Lin Jian pulled the problem to the price of rice in Jiangning, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yubo wants to kill the price of grain, but he is not bad in his heart, but he is afraid that he will cross the line." In case he doesn't get bright, take Gu Tianqiao's sacrificial guillotine, and the two sides of that end will be bigger......"

Lin Jian frowned and said, "That's right, then the third child, you go to Zhang Yubo's place and ask Zhang Yubo's subordinates to show mercy......"

Lin Mengde didn't say anything, he was also worried that Gu Tianqiao would cut Zhang Yubo just now, but Lin Jian said that Zhang Yubo would not cut people in a disorderly manner, so he didn't have to worry, but at this time, he instigated Lin Xulu to go over, and his mind was wilted.

Lin Xulu didn't know why, and when he heard Lin Lian say this, he saw the arrow as an order, and went to the government to find Zhang Yubo's theory when he left.

After Lin Xulu left, Lin Mengde said worriedly: "If Zhang Yubo's attitude softens in front of Xulu, it won't be a good thing......

"What are you doing with so many gains and losses, now that you are in your early third year, presumably your house will be quieter, don't bother me here anymore to clean up......" Lin Lian drove Lin Mengde out.

Lin Mengde had no choice, out of the courtyard, it was difficult to feel at ease when he thought about it, but Lin Lian's meaning was very clear, he would not be allowed to show up for the time being, and he couldn't sleep when he looked back, so he turned his head to find Gao Zongting - using Zhang Yubo as the Yin of Jiangning Mansion, Gao Zongting and Song Fu were the first to support, Lin Mengde was not familiar with Song Fu, and thought that if he could understand this matter, it would be Gao Zongting.

"It's strange, Lin Changshi said the same thing as the third master, I'm afraid that the shopkeeper Gu will behead Uncle Zhang, but the master's reply is different." Zuo Lan came over to help Lin Tie Kuan's clothes and waited for him to fall asleep again.

When the sisters Zuo Lan and Zuo Yan came to serve, the little girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old was now slim, and under Song Jia's training, she became more and more bright and charming. Thanks to Zuo Yan and the Xiangxiang clan to bring Song Jia into the palace to serve, leaving the dignified and polite Zuo Lan to serve by Lin Lian's side, otherwise the night will be long, and staying by his side will be even more tempting and tormenting.

In the cold night, the charcoal pot in the house was burning, but it was also warm as spring, Zuo Lan was dressed monotonously, the place that should be full was full, the place that should be thin was thin, and the body was still full of a faint fragrance, Lin Lian pondered in his heart, heard her say this, and said with a smile: "If you think about it carefully, how can it be different?" ”

Zuo Lan tilted his head and thought hard, shook his head and said, "I don't understand......"

"Then I ask you, should I be triumphant today, or should I be covered with thin ice?"

"There are Huaidong's soldiers and horses inside and outside Jiangning City, and in Jiangning City, the princes and princes, and even the Queen Mother have to look at Huaidong's face, according to reason, the adults are also proud," Zuo Lan asked, "But there are still internal and external troubles, so we can't relax our vigilance......

"Hehe," Lin Jian laughed and said, "It's easy to know and it's difficult, say not to let down your vigilance, but the people below think that if you win the victory, you should indulge it, and if you press it tightly, you will complain that your majesty is too harsh." Sometimes external pressure is necessary to maintain internal cohesion and follow-up. Zhang Yubo's side, I'm afraid that he won't cause trouble for me, and second, I'm afraid that he will cause big trouble - it's not so easy to be an adult these days! ”

"Yes," Zuo Lan said coquettishly, "I see adults frowning all day long, it's really not easy to think, if it weren't for the adults you lie down and close your eyes, Zuo Lan will rub your head for you......"

Lin Lian glanced up at Zuo Lan, Xiao Nizi would be quietly seducing, and she didn't know if she learned it from Song Jia. Lin Jian thought about Song Jia's words, the Zuo sisters and the Jinxiang clan are girls of different races, and they can't rest assured that they can marry the generals below, so they can only stay in the inner house and use them as female officials, and said: "That's good! Reaching out, pretending to touch her bulging breasts unintentionally.

Zuo Lan's body subconsciously shrank, and then he was stunned, looking at Lin Lian's eyes as if they were hydrated, Lin Lian and Song Jia's sexual affairs were all served by the Zuo sisters, and the affairs of men and women had long been familiar, and they were already ripe honey and peaches, just one taste.

Gao Zongting has not yet set up his own door in Jiangning City, and his family is still in Chongzhou, and he occupies a single courtyard in Chen Yuan.

Lin Mengde came around the corner, saw that there was a lamp in the courtyard, and he didn't get through, so he went straight inside, and walked to the eaves of the porch, only to see Gao Zongting sitting in front of the lamp holding a scroll and reading, and asked with a smile through the window: "On such a cold day, the window is not closed and reading at night, Mr. Gao is really interested......

"I'm always worried that I don't think well, open the doors and windows, and people can be more sober." Gao Zongting put down the scroll, opened the door and entered Lin Mengde into the house, the movement here was so startled that the attendant got up from the outer wing to take a look, Gao Zongting said, "Lord Lin come here, I will make tea myself, you continue to sleep......"

The hot water on the heating stove was about to boil, and white steam was coming out.

"Brother Mengde rushed to Chen Yuan before dawn, wouldn't he have the leisure to come to me to talk about books?" Gao Zongting asked.

"Zhang Yubo detained Gu Tianqiao, Zong Ting really doesn't know?" Lin Mengde asked.

"Of course I can pretend that I don't know what happened in the middle of the night," Gao Zongting joked and asked again, "What did the adults say?" ”

"The lord asked Xu Lu to go to Zhang Yubo's side to intercede, but he stopped me." Lin Mengde said.

Gao Zongting frowned and said, "My lord is also embarrassed! In the first two days of entering the city, the whole city was saying that it should be you Lin Mengde who should be the Yin ...... of Jiangning Mansion."

"It doesn't matter if I don't take this Jiangning Mansion Yin Zhen, at this time, I am even more glad that I didn't climb onto the fire frame by myself to be burned!" Lin Mengde smiled bitterly, "If you want to say that the division of officials and rewards is far from the time, it is far from the time, but not everyone has enough patience." ”

Lin Mengde is an understanding person, and it was a while before Tianming, so Gao Zongting said to him in detail: "The materials controlled by the military department must first ensure military supplies, and it is impossible to directly transfer a large amount of rice and grain into Jiangning City to save the city; In addition to the necessary relief grain, the food of more than one million people in Jiangning City mainly depends on grain merchants to solve the ......"

“…… Jiangning's four rice cities, and Hekou Town, which is dominated by the Dongyang Township Party, preserved its strength during the war and did not suffer major losses. For example, almost all of the people who control Jiangning Mi City today are Dongyang Township Party - first, the Dongyang Township Party has not suffered major losses, and has a large amount of grain reserves and sufficient silver money to purchase surplus grain from the people; Second, the prefectures and counties near Jiangning, and Dongyang Mansion on the north bank have been the least affected by the war over the years, and the surplus grain of the people is relatively sufficient, which is also something that others cannot interfere with......"

"Over the years, Huaidong can rise, and the Dongyang Township Party behind the scenes support is indeed inseparable, when the Ninglu dispute, the Gu military department also turned its face away, but most of the Dongyang Township Party still chose to stand on the side of Huaidong, after the defeat of Qingzhou, the past enmity and enmity became a cloud of smoke, and the Dongyang system was even more indistinguishable from each other. Huaidong won today's victory, and the gentry and businessmen of the Dongyang family celebrated with the crown, which is also natural and natural. But it won't just celebrate, there are only two things to ask for next, one is to be promoted, and the other is to get rich. You should have a deep understanding of the dream......"

"......" Lin Mengde smiled bitterly and said, "I knew that I would live in Chen Yuan with you, and I could still be quiet, and the threshold was almost broken......

"Now that the Huaidong soldiers and horses have controlled Jiangning City, you and I can still stay sober, knowing that the current situation is still a situation of internal and external troubles, and we can't relax our vigilance, but the people below may not be able to take such a long-term view......," Gao Zongting said.

Lin Mengde had to smile bitterly again and again, and when he entered Jiangning City, he had a sense of pride, but everything was not comfortable.

Thousands of miles of officials in order to seek wealth, the reality has formed a situation in which the Dongyang Township Party monopolizes Jiangning Rice Market, and the grain supply is indeed very tight. In Jiangning's current situation, if you have food in your hand, you can make ten or twenty times the profit, and how many people can reach out and not be greedy for the huge wealth sent to the door? Even if there is no Huaidong behind them, there is no grain merchant who can hold back his temperament and not increase prices, and there is no one in a hundred miles.

If this situation is not controlled, it seems that in a short period of time, the wealth in the hands of the Dongyang Township Party will increase rapidly, and even the Huaidong Military Division can get a lot of gold and silver from it, but in essence, it will be a great harm.

The essence of gold and silver is rooted in one of the circulation of commodities, the shortage of materials, the rise in prices, on the other hand, is the process of rapid depreciation of gold and silver - Jiangning is not isolated, the sharp increase in grain prices in Jiangning will quickly spread to the surrounding prefectures and counties, Jiangnan and other towns, weaving and dyeing and other workshops as the first to fall into trouble, large-scale famine and the enemy.

The situation in the heartland of Jianghuai is turbulent, how can we resist foreign aggression?

For Huaidong, which is improving the coin system, maintaining stability and resuming production is the core interest.

Lin Mengde, who controls Huaidong's finances behind the scenes and is known to outsiders as the God of Wealth in Huaidong, understands these truths more deeply than anyone else.

Jiangning's grain prices must be suppressed as soon as possible, but Jiangning will face a serious shortage of grain in the next three to five months, even before the autumn harvest next year, and there is no other clever way to lower grain prices except for the government to forcibly suppress grain prices.

Food grows in the ground, and there is no way to conjure it out of thin air.

However, if Huaidong directly intervenes to suppress grain prices and strictly prohibit Dongyang Township from profiting from it, there is a possibility of a backlash within the Dongyang Township Party. The internal division between Huaidong and Dongyang will only have emptiness that will be taken advantage of and used by Empress Dowager Liang and others, so they can only borrow Zhang Yubo's hand to suppress Jiangning's grain prices.

When Lin Jian entered the city, Zhang Yubo was old, but he avoided it, which caused everyone in Huaidong to complain.

Lin Jian visited Zhang's house at night, and cited Zhang Yuboquan to know the Yin of Jiangning Mansion, and others would only say that Lin Jian was generous.

At this time, Zhang Yubo took Gu Tianqiao from the Dongyang Department to suppress Jiangning's grain prices, and others would only complain that Zhang Yubo was ungrateful, and his anger was concentrated on Zhang Yubo's head.

"The price of food is just one of them," Gao Zongting said, "and it is inevitable that some people will relax their requirements for themselves and do some things to bully men and women." When the time comes, maybe you really want to kill the atmosphere with a ruthless hand, and the adults don't let Mengde be the governor of Jiangning Mansion, because they don't want to put you on the fire rack to roast ......"

"Alas, people have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, using Zhang Yubo, a person who dares to pluck the hair on the head of the tiger in Huaidong, to serve as the governor of Jiangning Mansion, the benefits are much more than imagined," Lin Mengde smiled lightly, there are some truths but can be understood, but after Gao Zongting said this, some things were completely put down, and said, "In this way, in the past, Xulu can't fish people out." ”

"If you don't vomit some blood, how can you not fish it out? Zhang Yubo is not a soft bone," Gao Zongting said with a smile, "Let them stalemate for two days first, and make a storm in the city, and then the adults will probably let you go to the soft and help with bloodletting......"
