Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 2 One million stones of grain will be put up for bid
Chapter 2 One million stones of grain will be put up for bid
The gate of Wuling County.
There is an endless stream of pedestrians, cars and horses, and it is very lively.
Fang Yuan, along with the county magistrate and the chief bookkeeper, stood in a corner outside the county gate and stared at passers-by.
To be precise, it was the county magistrate and the chief clerk who were staring at passers-by, while Fang Yuan sat aside and drank ice-cold watermelon juice.
However, more than an hour passed, and none of the possible figures discovered were the same. After a short conversation, I realized that he was not the emperor.
Seeing that the sun was about to go down, Fang Yuan no longer wanted to wait here, thinking that he might as well think more about the grain bidding tomorrow if he had this time.
So he stood up, patted his wrinkled official uniform, and left.
"County Lord, County Lord, aren't you waiting?"
Zhang San quickly approached Fang Yuan and asked respectfully.
"No more waiting."
"I have to wait for you."
Fang Yuanyuan walked back to the county gate.
"Your Majesty, wait a little longer, wait a little longer."
Zhang San chased after Fang Yuan to persuade him.
However, Fang Yuan ignored him and left without looking back.
Fang Yuan had already reached the city gate, but he still heard someone shouting "Xian Zun, Xian Zun".
He thought it was Zhang San calling him, so he ignored him. It wasn't until someone tapped his shoulder that he realized that it was not Zhang San's voice.
Looking back, Fang Yuan was suddenly shocked, what an extraordinary temperament!
Not only that, the other party is elegant and noble yet powerful, with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and the appearance of the sun.
The slightly older middle-aged man following him was also very imposing, but he looked at him with a somewhat unkind look.
"Is it you who called me?"
Fang Yuan responded politely and had a friendly attitude.
I guess the man in front of me is not Li Shimin who visited privately incognito, right?
"Yes, are you the county magistrate of Wuling County?"
Li Shimin looked at Fang Yuan excitedly.
At the same time, he looked at Fang Yuan, secretly sighing in his heart that Fang Yuan is a personable young man.
At such a young age, he is probably only in his early twenties and is already the magistrate of Wuling County. He is not dissatisfied when he is disturbed by a stranger, which shows that he has good conduct.
Or maybe it’s my own Ying Mengxianchen!
"Exactly, my official source, are you..."
Fang Yuan nodded and announced his name.
Although I suspected that the other party might be Emperor Li Shimin.
But judging from the current situation, the other party cannot be Emperor Li Shimin.
If it were the emperor, even if it was a private visit incognito, it would be impossible for a person of that status to look at him with such excitement.
Moreover, when the emperor travels, the security work must be thorough, and there must be no shortage of people to protect him, but there are only two of them.
Fang Yuan would not believe that the middle-aged man behind him was a guard. He looked so sick that he could kill three of them with one punch.
"My name is Li Daye, from Longxi."
"This is my housekeeper, just call me Lao Du."
Li Shimin has already decided not to reveal his identity for the time being.
Because it was a private visit on Weibo, I had no intention of revealing my identity.
Secondly, I also considered that Fang Yuan might be Ying Meng Xianchen, and wanted to have a clear understanding of Fang Yuan as a person and as an official, so as to determine whether to reuse him in the future.
Li Daye, may be a pseudonym!
Longxi, it may be fake!
But considering the other party's look towards him, Fang Yuan was basically sure that the other party was not Emperor Li Shimin.
"Nice to meet you, but I don't know what you mean by stopping me?"
Fang Yuan nodded and said calmly.
Since you are not the emperor, there is no need to be polite.
"I'm in the grain business. This year there are droughts and locust infestations in many places, and there is a serious shortage of grain."
"I heard that there is grain for sale in your county, so I came here specially... Don't worry, the price is not an issue."
Li Shimin clenched his fists slightly, and his heart gradually became nervous.
He actually didn't hear it, but said it himself in response to the situation.
If Fang Yuan is his Ying Meng Xianchen, then he must have a way to help him solve the problem of Sin Ji Zhao, and the biggest problem of Sin Ji Zhao is the problem of food.
As long as the food problem is solved, then the rumors will be self-defeating and the people's support will be restored, and there will be no need to issue edicts to offend oneself. If the ministers dare to force themselves to issue edicts to offend oneself, they are seeking death.
Therefore, he guessed that Fang Yuan had food and Wuling County had food!
"I see, Boss Li has come to the right place."
"Tomorrow our county will have one million stones of grain sold through bidding, and the one with the highest price will get it."
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, he smiled again and became more polite.
It turns out that another God of Wealth has arrived, so we must give him a good welcome.
Tomorrow is the day of grain harvest in Wuling County, and it is also the day of the first grain auction.
Caravans from various places who have received the news these days have entered Wuling County, waiting for tomorrow's grain auction to be sold.
Fang Yuan thought that Li Shimin was also an insider, that is, someone from the caravan, and he no longer doubted that the other person was the Emperor Li Shimin.
This year, Wuling County's food supply reached a new high, but drought and locust plagues occurred in many places. The food harvest was not good and was severely damaged. There was no food in various places.
Fang Yuan was worried that the imperial court would forcibly transfer Wuling County after it found out about its high productivity, so he only used commercial channels to contact the world's caravans to bid, and the official information was well concealed.
"One million stones?!"
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui exclaimed.
Both of them looked in disbelief, thinking they had heard wrong.
It is not impossible for a county to produce millions of stones, but that is when the weather is good.
This year there is a severe drought and a locust plague. The whole country is short of food. How did Wuling County grow millions of stones of food?
The two people's first reaction was that Fang Yuan deceived them, but in the blink of an eye, they thought it was impossible. It was the first time that the two of them met, and there was no need for the other party to be the leader of the county.
"Your Majesty, please take us there quickly."
Li Shimin said excitedly.
He can't wait to see the food grown in Wuling County.
It is not only food, but also the lives of the people in the world, and it is also the most powerful counterattack to solve one's own sins and edicts.
"Don't worry, Boss Li. It's getting late now. I will personally take you there tomorrow morning."
"Please come this way, I will take you to the Guest House to stay for one night."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Make a gesture of invitation and walk towards a certain direction in the city.
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui looked at each other, their eyes still full of excitement.
But both of them are not ordinary people. They quickly controlled their emotions and understood that the sun has set now and they have walked for such a long time, so they should watch again tomorrow.
As soon as they entered the city, they felt the extraordinaryness of Wuling County again. People were coming and going in the city, and there were many convoys loaded with goods. Even though the sun had gone down, it still looked like a bustling scene.
Soon, the two followed Fang Yuan and arrived at the door of a luxurious and elegant inn. There were two neatly dressed young men standing on both sides of the door. There was a plaque directly above the door: Guesthouse!
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were both surprised. It was obviously a relatively luxurious inn, so why did it have such a strange name as the Guest House?
Just when both of them were confused, the boys standing on both sides of the door bowed at the same time, making an invitation gesture:
"Welcome distinguished guests, the Yingbin Hotel will provide you with the best service around the clock to make you truly feel at home."
The two of them were startled and looked at Fang Yuan who was standing aside.
Among the crowds of people coming and going around, there were more than a dozen ordinary people who almost rushed towards Li Shimin and the two.
"Hehehe, this is the most high-end hotel in Wuling County. You can rest here for one night. I will have someone come over tomorrow morning to invite you to visit the fertile fields and bid for them."
Fang Yuan laughed and made a gesture of invitation.
"Then we will wait for the county magistrate's summons tomorrow."
Li Shimin also smiled and walked into the guest house with Du Ruhui.
