Chapter 319: Evil fate must be strangled to death!
The grain merchants in Bingzhou City changed their tune.
They once again gathered outside the governor's house and begged to see Li. This time they did not dare to sell at a high price, but asked Li to collect the grain quickly.
The price is negotiable, it's whatever you say.
Liu Asi appeared at the gate of the governor's house and proudly told the grain merchants that the governor was seriously ill and could not see visitors.
The grain merchants sat cross-legged outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion, collectively chanting sutras and praying for Governor Li...
I don't know whether it was the grain merchants' savvy thoughts or Li Cishi's good fortune. After a period of pious prayers, Li Cishi recovered from his illness without any medicine, and he walked out of the gate of the governor's mansion with Bu Qu's support.
The grain merchants were moved to tears.
You're finally fucking out!
When we sell the grain, we will immediately curse you to death.
"Ten cents per liter!" a grain merchant shouted the price without hesitation.
Li Qishi's legs went weak and his eyes turned white, as if his old illness had relapsed and he was about to die soon.
"Eight articles!" Another grain merchant shouted again, which was better than building a seven-level pagoda.
Li Qishi opened his mouth wide and gasped for air.
"Five articles!" Another grain merchant hung his life for the beloved Governor Li.
Li Qishi was twitching all over and worked hard.
"Four articles, four articles!" a grain merchant said sadly and angrily: "If Li Ci is still ill, I will go to hell with Li Ci!"
A magical scene happened. Li Jishi, who was twitching all over, suddenly stood up straight. His face was rosy and energetic. His appearance of being active and living for a hundred years was particularly despising. If the grain merchants didn't quit, they would definitely not be able to survive him.
Li Qinzai pushed away the man who was supporting him, straightened his clothes, bowed to the grain merchants, and then... raised his arms above his head and bent them.
Listen to me, thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm...
Show your heart, yeah!
After performing a set of movements in a smooth and flowing manner, Li Qinzai finished his work and turned around and returned to the Governor's Mansion.
The grain merchants looked at each other with blank expressions.
This guy... didn't say a single word from beginning to end, but for some reason, it was extremely insulting.
Especially the comparison, although I don't know its meaning, it makes people feel strong discomfort inexplicably.
After Li Qinzai entered, Liu Asi stood on the stone steps outside the mansion, held his head high and said loudly: "Four coins per liter, weigh it on the dendrobium tree!"
The grain merchants slumped their shoulders and sighed in despair, but they still lined up obediently, and carts of grain began to gather in front of the governor's house.
After Li Qinzai entered the door, his expression felt relaxed.
The grain merchants' grain has finally been completely left in Bingzhou City. These days, they have been making a lot of tricks, just for this purpose. At this moment, the goal has finally been achieved.
A rough calculation shows that the grain transported into the city can at least provide relief for the city and the four surrounding counties for more than two months.
More than two months later, the relief food from Jiangnan Road really arrived in Bingzhou. Li Qinzai was willing to swear with his remaining integrity that he would not lie this time.
Of course, Li Qinzai has no control over the expressions of the grain merchants at that time. The grain has been harvested, so what's the use of keeping you?
The only difficulty right now is... no money!
The purchase price of grain was four cents per liter, and Li Qinzai could not come up with the money. He had already spent all the money from the treasury allocated to him by Li Zhi.
This... is indeed a trouble. Li Qinzai can't find a solution for the time being. The grain merchant can only owe the money for selling grain today.
…………
Jinyang Palace.
The Lord of Jinxiang County seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. When he passed by the still smoky side hall at noon, the Lord of Jinxiang County not only did not frown in disgust, but also smiled and greeted his father's group of friends.
This smile not only made the friends and friends uneasy, but also made Prince Teng feel guilty.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Has my dear daughter given up on treating me?
The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became. Prince Teng simply abandoned his friends who were fighting crickets vigorously and chased him out alone.
"Daughter, good daughter, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Prince Teng asked nervously.
The head of Jinxiang County looked puzzled: "My daughter is in very good health."
Prince Teng observed her expression and asked tentatively: "I wonder why Rui'er is so happy? Tell her to make your father happy too?"
The Lord of Jinxiang County couldn't help but smile again and said: "Father, the people of Bingzhou City have been saved, and the people of the four counties under his jurisdiction have also been saved."
"What's wrong?" Prince Teng was confused.
"Early this morning, all the grain merchants in Bingzhou City gathered at the Governor's Mansion and sold all the grain to the Governor's Mansion at the price of four cents per liter." Jinxiang said happily: "Father, do you dare to believe it? It is a year of great disaster.
, the price of food in other places has increased more than dozens of times, but the price of food in Bingzhou has been reduced to four cents, four cents!"
Jin Xiang's tone increased, and he couldn't hide his joy.
Prince Teng squinted his eyes and did not show much happiness.
After all, he has been just a royal playboy since he was a child, and he doesn't really care much about the suffering of the people at the bottom.
But out of flattery to his daughter, Prince Teng still echoed: "Ah, four articles, amazing!...Why are the grain merchants willing to sell it at this price? Isn't this a loss?"
Jinxiang said more and more happily: "The newly appointed Governor Li is very powerful, but my daughter was mistaken before. He spent huge sums of money to collect grains in the past few days and attracted grain merchants from all over the country. However, after the grains came into the city, he complained that he was sick and could not come out.
, and then the food relief from Jiangnan Road happened to arrive, and the food was instantly worthless..."
"Yesterday, my daughter also heard that the soldiers of the Ningshuo Governor's Office were ordered to dig up the road outside Bingzhou City, saying that there was a civil unrest in other places, and the grain merchants could not resell the grain out of the city. The situation was getting more and more dangerous, and the grain merchants could not
Without gritting his teeth, he sold the grain to the governor's office for four cents a liter."
Jinxiang praised sincerely: "The methods of layout, temptation, coercion, and closing the net are really clever and powerful! No wonder he is so highly valued by the emperor. He really has some ability. The people of Bingzhou are very lucky."
Then Jin Xiang showed a look of shame and sighed: "I thought that my daughter originally blamed him for his careless governance and putting the people in dire straits. I didn't expect that he quietly laid out such a wonderful chess game. It's ridiculous that my daughter is so stupid that she doesn't know the depth of wrongly blaming him. , I feel ashamed just thinking about it..."
Prince Teng opened his small mung bean eyes and blinked in confusion.
Although he didn't understand the words, he could understand his daughter's expression, and the more he understood, the more he felt something was wrong.
When a woman shows admiration for a man, will the next development be good?
My precious daughter, the dignified county lord, actually worships a married man...
Dama!
Prince Teng's heart suddenly tightened, and he secretly clenched his fists.
Let’s go! We must take our daughter and leave Bingzhou immediately! We’ll leave tomorrow!
Let this bad relationship be completely strangled in the cradle!
While Prince Teng's expression was gloomy, Jin Xiang hesitantly said: "My daughter wrongly blamed Li Jishi and was very rude to him at the beginning. Now she cannot pretend to be ignorant and pretend it never happened. My daughter wants to... apologize to him in person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Teng screamed as if his butt was touched by a gangster: "I'm going!"
Jin Xiang looked at him with a puzzled expression.
King Teng coughed twice and said: "My father will apologize to you, so you don't have to go. My father is also a member of the royal family. Li Qishi has made great contributions to the country and saved the people from fire and water. My father should be the representative of heaven." I would like to express my gratitude to him.”
"My daughter can stay in the palace with peace of mind and pack her luggage. My father is going to have a formal meeting with Governor Li. Be good and stay in the palace and don't run around."
