Chapter 374
Li Su and Qiao Rui were pointing their fingers at the country, but a group of women couldn't understand it at all. In addition, they were a little far away, so they were too lazy to listen to food.
However, even if you only take a look at it occasionally, looking at its expression from a distance, you can see that the father seemed to be a little confused and often was in a dilemma. Sometimes he spread his hands, as if he was emphasizing his own difficulties.
"Sister, don't my father and General Li can't control each other? Why are you so unconfident? Humph. I want me to say, no matter what you talk about, you can't lose your momentum, and who can't brag?"
Xiaoqiao whispered the oil stains left on the "Danyang Duck Oil Cookies" on his fingers. He was a little unwilling to give up, so he quietly told his sister that she was too young and didn't understand politics, so she recognized a little and hadn't read any classics.
In the eyes of such a girl, as long as both sides do not belong to the same camp, negotiations are just about momentum and output depends on yelling.
"They were talking about topics like fighting disasters and saving people. They couldn't hear it clearly and didn't understand it. My father seemed to have no money and food to learn General Li's approach." After all, Ohashi was thirteen years old, so he floated over and roughly knew what he was talking about.
Xiaoqiao's eyes turned and asked Zhou Ying:
"Sister Zhou, are your family very rich? It depends on how well you eat and wear, and whether General Li used his own money to win people's hearts as an official, so that's why? When he was a child, he always heard from his mother that when he was the late emperor, he could be an official if he had money. A county magistrate gave him 20 million a year, and it doesn't matter if he couldn't collect the tax, as long as he could afford it..."
"Zhi'er must not be rude! And you should call Mrs. Li, no big or small." Yang stopped just right, telling Xiaoqiao not to talk nonsense anymore.
On the other hand, Yang was also happy to suppress Zhou Ying's seniority, so he just scolded outsiders and stopped when he clicked.
Zhou Ying was a little unhappy, but she was just laughing and crying. She was not good at calculating with the little girl who had not yet studied and said calmly:
"Our general is indeed rich in family wealth, and this is true. I am a woman and don't understand government affairs. Maybe he is just paying money to be an official. However, being willing to pay money to be an official can be considered a love for the people as a child. I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
With Zhou Ying's original education at her parents' home, she must not be able to say such a way to show off her wealth, and she would not be able to have the position of "what is wrong with being rich?"
But after following Li Su for so long and being influenced by others, Zhou Ying's view of money is more enlightened than those gentlemen who are purely acting and speaking righteously but not profitably. She thinks that since it is beneficial to the country and the people, it is nothing wrong to have money.
Daqiao Xiaoqiao heard her speak so frankly, and she was speechless for a while and could no longer continue this topic. Her understanding of the Li family became much clearer in an instant.
"Even the female family members of General Li's family dare to tell the truth so much? That's a gentleman who is open and honest." Daqiao thought to himself.
As for Xiaoqiao, I haven't learned the "Analects of Confucius. Shuer" yet, and I don't know this sentence yet.
On the other hand, Li Su and Qiao Rui finished their talk soon. Li Su bowed and stood up to say goodbye, asking Qiao Rui not to miss the matter. Remember to pass the news of the surge in Jingzhao grain prices back to Nanyang as soon as possible, which is also for the common disaster relief benefits of both sides.
Zhou Ying was also a little impatient with socializing those ignorant girls. She looked sharp and saw Li Su getting up. She laughed and prepared to see the guests. Both sides went back to their homes.
Zhou Ying pulled her husband and asked Li Su to accompany her to take the car with her. Li Su brushed her sleeves and smiled and said, "The weather is still good, what kind of car to take? It took me a long time to play, but it took two or three hours to go back and forth. Isn't it just put the cart before the horse? It's just a quick look."
Li Su hates that it doesn't take long to do serious business, but it takes a long time to spend on transportation.
Just like in later generations, he signed up for a tour group. The one he hated the most was the kind of person who took a bus for half a day and got off and played for half an hour. That was simply spending money to find a burden. When he came, he was afraid of wasting time talking about serious matters and was afraid of not maintaining his mental state, so he took the bus. Anyway, he was fine when he returned, so he should ride his horse and watch it all. He was so happy that he would return.
Zhou Ying pulled her sleeve and acted coquettishly: "If they don't ride often, they won't ride fast."
Li Su turned over the horse, hugged Zhou Ying's waist, carried it up, placed it in front of his saddle, then opened the folding fan and protected the girl: "Let's ride together, are you okay?"
Anyway, Li Su is thin and does not wear iron armor, so Zhou Ying is extremely slim. Li Su's horse has always been the best strong horse, so it is easy for two people to ride like this.
This scene really made the aesthetic standards of large and small bridges refreshed, and it was a fashion vane for a while.
Zhou Ying leaned back and felt her husband's broad and warm chest. She was very intoxicated. She was a little mean and looked up to Li Su's neck and whispered: "Husband, I just heard Sister Miao say yesterday that you wrote a poem about traveling to Huashan, which was a poem about her. She liked it so much.
Why don’t I know that you don’t even write for me. In terms of relatives and alienation, Sister Yan, who is more close, can write for Miaoer, who is not close or not, but I don’t have it. I want it too, just have fun, right?"
OK, it’s become jealous if you write poems together.
Of course, Li Su could handle it, but he was also afraid that it would seem too easy. He was often asked to write in the future, so he would easily be squeezed out and missed. He was not like those time travelers who used this to get into the ladder and needed to show off in exchange for profit.
So, he waited for Zhou Ying to beg him for a while before he looked like he was "exhausted, no one was allowed to take the example."
"Oh, you don't know. I'm here to talk about national affairs today. I'm exhausting my mind, so I can't think of those despicable sounds - just make up a few words, so I won't be as an example. Well, Leyouyuan...just this: I feel uncomfortable in the evening, and drive to the ancient land. The sunset is extremely beautiful, but it's just near dusk."
If the color today is not as late as when Zhou Ying and Liu Miao came to play three days ago, the reflection of the sky today is not as good as the reflection of the clouds that day. You can only see the sunset and not see the burning clouds.
After hearing this, Zhou Ying felt that it was not very appropriate to the scenery at first, but when she thought about it, she felt like a dream. It seemed that she was traveling with Liu Miao that day, and her husband saw it next to her, which felt quite like traveling through time.
"Although it is simple, it is quite timeless. It's just a little bit old, not like the feeling of our age. Forget it, let's just do it. As long as it is given to me by my husband, I'll be happy with everything." Zhou Ying commented thoughtfully and praised her.
Duling is in the southeast and Chang'an is in the northwest. Li Suzhou Ying rode her horse back toward the sunset. The inspiring and free manner of words really makes the bridges that are gradually moving away and envious, although the poems can no longer be heard clearly.
"After going back, you must make a few sets of dresses and jewelry like Mrs. Li. It looks so cool and cool." The girls fantasized in their hearts.
...
The day after the meeting, Li Su ordered the opening of the Chang'an treasury official warehouse and began to sell grain to ordinary people without limit.
Of course, in order to ensure that people who buy food are in urgent need, the food price is very high.
Before Li Su started selling, the price of grain in Chang'an City was between 1,600 yuan per stone and 1,800 yuan. Li Su directly marked the price of white rice for 5,000 yuan, three times higher than the current extremely high grain price.
As soon as the price was released, the whole city was in an uproar at the first time, and all the people couldn't believe it, especially those who had originally expressed their hopes for Li Su and thought that he was a model of saving the people. They beat their chests and stamped their feet, and they were so angry that they could not be as strong as steel.
However, no one bought this price immediately. After all, there are cheaper ones sold in other grain merchants, and they can buy bargains. But these bargains also rose very quickly. Seeing the support of the government, the cheapest white rice instantly rose to more than 2,000 yuan, most of which stayed at 2,200 yuan, and there was a continuous upward trend.
But soon, these bargains disappeared. On the afternoon of the 16th, just half a day after Li Su announced the price of official grains, he began to personally send people to take out the treasury money and shop at grain merchants in the Chang'an market.
As for the reason, I am afraid that the autumn harvest of Jingzhao in the year of disaster will be insufficient, which will affect the supply of military rations for the king-stricken army. This is still normal for the time being.
Then Li Su's purchase price was from 2,200 yuan to 3,000 yuan, and he scattered hundreds of millions of yuan in copper coins, bought hundreds of thousands of stones of grain, and bought out all the cheaper than 3,000 yuan in Chang'an City.
Li Su confiscated the three thousand more. He only paid 3,000 unlimited purchases and then sold 5,000. The area left in the guide price was followed by the merchants themselves to raise the price. This is also Li Su did not want to damage the credibility of the government in the future, and did not want the truth to remain the innocent reputation of exploiting the people after the truth was revealed.
After all, his ultimate psychological price of calming the grain price is to buy/sell it for 3,000 yuan per stone. He cannot go back on his word, nor can he leave the reputation of "taking a fake high purchase price to cheat foreign merchants first". Those above 3,000 yuan should be the instant price during the fluctuation process, not guided by the government.
After hearing that Li Su did this, Qiao Rui didn't believe it at the first time. Instead, he sent a mini-journal to the Chang'an market to conduct an undercover investigation. It took two days to confirm, not only to confirm the price, but also to confirm whether the transaction volume was really increasing. It was Li Su who was making a fake market with his left hand and his right hand.
Two days later, on June 18th, Qiao Rui was sure of it and finally used a fast horse to return the grain price of Chang'an back to Nanyang with military information and private messages. His messenger had a fast horse station to transfer to the station. He traveled more than 300 miles a day, left Wuguan on the 20th, and sent it to Wancheng on the 21st, which was known to Yuan Shu.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shu couldn't read such reports related to logistics and people's livelihood, and he threw them directly to the people below to deal with them as appropriate. After reading them, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and other advisers found it profitable and it would be okay to do a vote, so he approved it according to this tone.
With the acquiescence of Yuan Shu's counselors, those officials and businessmen in Jingbei who had some connection with Yuan Shu's official activities started to inquire and confirm the market situation in Chang'an first, and then according to the policy promoted by Li Su, they went to Zhuyang County, Nanxiang County and other places on the junction of Nanyang County and Shangyong County to follow the official and businessmen in Shangyong to handle the "deposit of the money-induced pledge" procedures to ensure that the luxury goods they could get back after selling the grain were available, and then they began to organize transportation.
The specific operation is as follows: For example, a Yuan Shu merchant from Nanyang County transported 10,000 stones of white rice, which was worth 8 million yuan locally in Nanyang, and transported to Chang'an was worth 30 to 40 million yuan.
Then, according to Li Su's promised 30 to 40 million, they first asked Shangyong's Yizhou official merchants to inspect the goods before departure. After confirming that it was correct, Yizhou official merchants cut out Shujin salt, iron and porcelain and other goods worth 30 to 40 million in Nanyang from the official warehouse, and moved them to another empty room in the Di Pavilion, and both parties posted seals to deposit them.
As long as the Nanyang merchants transported the grain to Chang'an after half a month, they would transport the bill of lading bills stamped with Jingzhao Yin Li Su. The quantity matched the original pledge seal to ensure that the grain was not short of pounds in Chang'an. Then the Yizhou official and businessmen on the Shangyong border would immediately unveil the seal in the delivery warehouse. If there was short of pounds, then the deposited goods would also be deducted some weight, and the bill of seals of Jingzhao Yin Gongzhao Yin's seal shall prevail.
The first batch of local merchants in Nanyang organized a source of goods on June 23rd. It was already early July when they were transported along the Danshui Valley of Wuguan Road and the subsequent land transport to Chang'an by land.
Before this batch of grain arrived in Chang'an, some changes occurred in Chang'an City - because Cao Cao sent Xue Ti to secretly meet the king's necessary information for the second time, it happened during the seven or eight days.
Unfortunately, Xue Ti certainly could not see Wang Bi for the second time. He had been arrested by Li Su. He beat him to death and tortures that all kinds of Han people had never seen before. He confessed that he was assigned by Cao Cao to spy on the court.
