The girls returned the salute one after another, blushing and their eyes bright.

Fang Cai Yan Saburo recognized it, and the first one was Liu Chuanfang's granddaughter Miss Liu, who had met by chance with Han Zhao eating crabs by the lake.

She introduced Yan Saburo again: "This is the young owner of Pingcheng Zhuang Ji Zhuang Dong and Zhuang Gongzi. ”

When Zhuang Donghe heard Yan Saburo's name, he was obviously taken aback, and looked him up and down. Zhuang Donghe also heard that the monarch's best friend was still a young man, but he was a wealthy man, but he didn't expect him to go in and out of the small shop on the edge of the night market.

Chitose crossed his arms and smiled lightly: "You said that this ring is two thousand silver, so can it be sold?"

In front of Miss Liu, Zhuang Gongzi's face immediately turned embarrassed.

A mere sapphire ring can be sold for one hundred and fifty taels, which is very good, and of course he wants two thousand taels, but it is twenty million yuan! In fact, as long as Yan Saburo cuts the price again, he can buy it without two thousand taels. Zhuang Donghe has calculated it, and if he has money in the account, he will buy another piece of jewelry for Miss Liu, and everyone will be happy.

Suddenly, the situation became what it is now.

Yan Saburo squeezed Chitose's hand: "Naughty." He said to Zhuang and Liu, "Fortunately, we still have something to do, let's go first." ”

He paid for the hairpin, grabbed her and left the shop.

"That's a soul stone, you just let it go?" Chitose squinted at him, "Miliu pointed you to Jinshi Yuan, isn't it just for the soul stone ring?"

This morning, the kestrel demon flew back from Taoyuan and brought a message to Yan Saburo.

This monster flies like a meteor, much faster than a land trip, and can go back and forth to Taoyuan once and a half a month. Ever since the Kestrel Demon received his salary from Tsubamezaburo, his connection with Taoyuan had become solid.

For example, he already knew that Wu Shuyu gave birth to a daughter in Taoyuan Realm, and immediately became the pearl of the winning king.

The old man rebelled and ruined his family, and he was disheartened and lived in seclusion, but he didn't expect his daughter to return suddenly, and he added a relative to him, and he had to enjoy the joy of family.

The victorious king's attitude towards Tsubame Saburo immediately became enthusiastic, and the correspondence became more frequent.

The two have a tacit understanding:

chatting about things inside and outside the paradise, normal ink;

If dying is involved, the victorious king will write in scarlet.

The letter sent this morning was unfolded into a few big red characters:

Swallow tower under the golden stone edge.

This sentence sounds quite poetic, but Yan Saburo often walks under the swallow tower, and at a glance he understands that Miliu gave him a little clue. It's just that the so-called "heavenly machine cannot be exhausted", and the dying can't interfere too much in the world, so you have to be vague when you say something, and play the game of guessing and guessing.

As a result, he and Chitose visited here, and sure enough, they found the soul stone.

As a dying indication, this thing should be important.

"Forced to buy a ring, swept the face of the Zhuang and Liu families, why bother?" Yan Saburo was not in a hurry, "Let's go back and find Liu Chuanfang." ”

After such a show tonight, the sapphire ring that Zhuang Donghe bought had to be given to Miss Liu.

"Rotten good guys. Chitose muttered, but didn't break free of his hand. Yan Xiaosan considered the world situation and became more and more thoughtful.

......

The next day, before Yan Saburo went to find Liu Chuanfang, Huang He came over with a small box:

"Young Master, Liu Fu sent a gift, saying that you urgently need it. ”

Yan Saburo raised his eyebrows.

Sure enough, the brocade box contained the sapphire ring, shining in the sunlight.

"That little girl is really good. Chitose snapped his fingers, his eyebrows fluttering, "It's really your fan sister." ”

Yan Saburo shook his head, and he didn't know who the person who had eaten Miss Liu's vinegar before.

There is also a small note in the box, with beautiful handwriting:

The ring is given to the beauty.

Obviously, Miss Liu also understands that Yan Saburo wants to buy this ring and give it to the beautiful woman next to her. So after Zhuang Donghe gave it to her, she transferred the ring to Yan Saburo.

This hand is very beautiful, and it directly dispels Chitose's suspicions. And she also noticed that the box was sent in the name of Liu's house, not Miss Liu herself. Otherwise, it would be a bit unruly for the little girl to send such a close-fitting jewelry to Qing Lebo in private.

Yan Saburo handed the ring to Chitose with a note: "Give it to you." ”

She put the ring on her ring finger and looked at it carefully, "What is the use of this soul stone?"

Soul Stones are incarnated by ghosts after they have died, and are related to their lifetime talents, so each one has a unique purpose. Most of the soul stones have been used by the sea god, and only a few remain.

When Miliu specially let them encounter this soul stone, it must have a deep meaning. Unfortunately, it was never known.

After lunch, Yan Saburo sat down to read less than two pages, and Li Kailiang came to him to report to work.

With him in charge, the industry under Yan Saburo's name has become bigger and bigger in the past two years, and the total assets have more than tripled compared with two years ago. Of course, the negative effect is that Li Kailiang's reporting frequency is high, and the time is long, and the trouble is also ...... Much more.

After all, everything that money can solve is a trivial matter, and even money can't solve it, and Li Kailiang can only ask Yan Saburo to decide.

"The price of rice and noodles has risen again, and now the wholesale price of the grain market is 80 wen per bucket, and it is 110 wen to sell it in the market. He submitted several files, "Within the six states of the capital, there are grain merchants who are frantically hoarding grain, not to mention the vicinity of the disaster area, where the price of each bucket is 100 wen, and the market price is 167 wen. ”

Yan Saburo took it and inspected them one by one, his face solemn. "Before the flood, each bucket was no more than fifteen wen. ”

One bucket is 14 catties, and the original price of about one catty is very close to the people; after the flood, the price of grain in the disaster area has increased by as much as 10 times!

This is someone stirring up trouble.

At present, the abnormal rainy season has passed, and the ground of Shengyi has not been wet by rain for more than 20 days.

This is back to the state of frequent drought in autumn and winter.

Now that the sky is no longer pouring water, the water level of the Bailingchuan River and the downstream Lanjiang tide head has also rapidly receded, and the once submerged farmland has basically recovered, and it has been exposed to the autumn sun for a long time. Wei Guo seized the time to organize production and successfully replanted a crop in the autumn so that there would be a harvest next summer.

However, this year's summer grain loss is after all. When the flood hit, no one knows how many hectares of crops were flooded and rotted directly in the ground, and the grain that was originally piled up in the warehouse was also soaked in water, and even if the flood finally receded, it would be rotten and moldy.

After the flood, although the country was urgently replanted in the autumn, the people could not delay a day of food. The price of grain has risen in response, and the price of poultry meat and eggs has also risen.

Merchants from all over the country took the opportunity to cover grain and sell it, hoarding and raising prices.

The chamber of commerce under Yan Saburo's name has long been renamed Yan Ji, and food is also one of the main livelihoods. Since the beginning of the disaster, Li Kailiang and Huo Dongjin have discussed it and insisted that Yanji sell affordable grain.
