?Chen Yue also poured a glass of turbid wine into his cup, tasted it on his own, and then he spit out ten words: "Grain and rice can be raw wine, and hungry people should do it as a workmanship."

Lu Da smiled and shook his head: "The hungry people can't even have enough food..." He said this and said, "He said, he looked up at Chen Yue, frowned and pondered without further ado.

Chen Yue continued: "In history, the most serious disasters in the past are not grain and rice, but caused chaos in the people, even plagues and bandits due to insufficient grain and rice. If a camp is set up outside the city, the district paintings are placed in it, and people are assigned to it with the right order of the village, and the people are well-constrained by one hundred people, the people's hearts can be calm; the accumulation of dirt can easily lead to disease evil into the body. When people clean up every day, they cannot eat the cold food and the water is cold. Whenever the sick are isolated from another camp, the epidemic can be slightly eliminated; and then the labor service is used to distribute grain and rice, which will exhaust the strength of the prime of life, and there will be no more chaos."

Xu Ke came back to his senses from his meditation, "What Shangwen said about labor-for-relief? This method is quite similar to what Duke Xiwen thought before, but it has more idea of ​​setting up a camp and clear filth. I wonder if it will have any effect. We have also discussed labor-for-relief before, but it is still due to money and food."

At this time, the government was usually combined with the local gentry and old man. Whenever there was a major event, the local parents and officials would attract people with respect or wealthy families to discuss. Xu Ke and Lu Da had a very good personal relationship with Fan Zhongyan, and they were all elderly people who retired after the officialdom. They had enough background and reputation, so they would naturally be taken to discuss matters.

During the conversation, Fan Zhongyan revealed the idea of ​​"work-for-relief". This incident seemed simple in later generations, but it was an extraordinary innovation at that time. I don't know if it was inspired by Fu Bi's disaster relief and recruiting militias in Qingzhou. After all, the previous old cases of disaster relief were opened to open Changping Warehouse and released grain. Previously, Xu Ke and Lu Da talked with Chen Yue, but no young man could come up with this solution, and he realized it at this time.

Chen Yue patted his forehead depressedly. Unexpectedly, Fan Zhongyan also thought about the matter of labor-for-relief, but he still did not show off. Although he never doubted the intelligence and ability of the ancients, he, who had more knowledge of thousands of years, always regarded himself higher. As a result, the two most central ideas of "refugee camps" and "work-for-relief" have already taken the lead, which made him not feel a little distressed.

"It turns out that Mr. Fan also had this intention, but I was offering a bad intention. As for money and grain, it's easier to say. Hangzhou has always been an important town in Jiangnan. Even if it has consumed a lot in recent years, there will always be a lot of grain and rice stored. In fact, if the grain shops have not raised prices and the people are rushing to buy grain, they can always survive the present, and things will be much easier to handle when the grain is transferred in Beijing."

Wenfuji brewing high-alcohol liquor and Xizi Building are about to open, so I will naturally pay some attention to the grain and rice industry, but Chen Yue can only speculate from the information he got from his hands and use the words just now to test it quietly.

Xu Ke did not hear the temptation in Chen Yue's words. As he heard from his grandfather, he said: "Chen Xishan told you everything. If the grain store could open up the grain, it would be no problem in Hangzhou. If the surplus grain that was often closed was used to provide relief to the hungry people from outside, he would always be able to support the money and food for disaster relief in the court."

"But it's okay now. After some time, disaster victims from nearby prefectures and counties flock to Hangzhou. Can grain and rice merchants be the cat that doesn't steal fish? I'm afraid they are already discussing hoarding goods now." Lu Da paused on the table and frowned.

"Even if you hoard grain and rice, it may not be difficult to open their pockets. In addition, it will be easier to summon wealthy families in the city to send donations.

"It's not easy to talk about it. I've asked people to check it before. The major grain merchants have only 30,000 to 40,000 stones of grain reserves. Now the situation is not enough for half a month. It must be someone who has hidden grain and rice privately. But even if they go to seal their shops, it will be useless. How can they let people find a handle? Carelessness will make the grain price in Hangzhou rise again..." Xu Ke sighed, and his eyes lit up: "Is it possible that Shangwen has a solution?"

"It's easy to send donations, but it's just a word of hype. In such a huge Hangzhou city, can't we find a few big heads who are willing to exchange money and grain for reputation? I think the jade plaque can be used well." Chen Yue finally turned the topic to the jade plaque, but he said more, so as not to be too obvious. He picked up the cup and drank a sip of wine, and said leisurely: "As for how to let the grain merchant spit out the rice himself, it's a lot of trouble, but it's not impossible..."

Chen Yue walked out of the restaurant in front of Fan Mansion. The work service in Xizilou, who came to welcome and send jade plaques, had dispersed. Fan Zhongyan's house was cold and there was not a lot of crowds on weekdays except for the guests visited by Fan Mansion. The restaurant I just came here probably just to do the business of Fan Mansion. Most of the people who came to visit Fan Zhongyan could only hand in the prayer letter in front of the door and learn from it. Zhejiang is far ahead, so I believe that those who want to try their luck can support the daily expenses of this restaurant.

Walking out of the alley and turning a street, the noise and noise of the street market suddenly came to my ears. The prosperity and wealth of Hangzhou was shrouded in a haze at this time. However, ordinary people didn't realize anything except complaining about the rise in grain prices. Everything was like the original.

Chen Yue sighed. He had just had some speculations before. After all, he was just a boy in his twenties. Even if he took out a few amazing poems, no one who knew the inside story would tell him the truth. After talking just now, he didn't expect that the situation was even more serious than he thought.

When passing by Wen Fuji, Chen Yue called Luo Liang out and asked him to accompany him to return to the Chen family.

Although Luo Liang didn't know what the boss was looking for him, he saw a touch of solemnity between Chen Yue's eyebrows instead of the usual Feng Qingyun. He also knew that there was something important to ask him for instructions, so he followed him and walked with him to the Chen family's yard.

After returning to the room, Chen Yue asked Xian'er to call Chen Qi over. He was planning to take out all the recent profits of Wen Fuji and go out to buy grain. I believe Fan Zhongyan and others have already found someone to do this, but they only took the people's hearts to not let the outside world know that it will take at least one month to go out to buy grain when the food is transported. Only when the famine really breaks out will the court allocate the food, and this batch of grain will arrive earlier.

Wen Fuji's profits and the Xizi Building were used as a means of making use of the total amount of grain that could not exceed 10,000 shi. The freight costs on the road were deducted, so the actual grain was even less. Compared with the million people in Hangzhou, it was just a drop in the bucket. Of course, these grains and rice had other uses, and they had to pry open the fingers of grain merchants to solve the current situation.

Not being in his position or doing his own politics. Chen Yue did not have such a broad mind as his own responsibilities, but he was willing to take the lead in the people around him in trouble. Moreover, this matter was not a loss deal for him. Not to mention the reputation of making a lot of money from the upper class of Shilin after the event was completed, the influence of Xizilou and jade tablets could almost be said to be achieved overnight. It saved a lot of time to build momentum, and even if the grain and rice were sold at a fair price, in comparison, there would be a lot of profits.

Luo Liang has been in Chen Yue's subordinate for two months. During this period, he has gained a lot of progress in his experience and Chen Yue's personal professor, and he has also gained some connections and reputation, but it is far from enough to ask him to do this.

Chen Yue himself was unwilling to come forward, so it would be best for Chen Qi to do it. Although he is far from mature in all aspects and is even worse than Luo Liang in dealing with things, he is a child of the Chen family in Fenghuang Lane, Hangzhou. He is a child of the Chen family with a tiger skin and a big banner. With this natural advantage, he is much more convenient than Luo Liang to do things. Moreover, Chen Qi has 10% of the members of Wenfuji. It is not easy to let him participate. With Luo Liang's assistance, he will never make things too ugly.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Xian'er ran back alone and said angrily: "Even though he saw the seventh brother wandering around at home, he told him that the young master invited him over, but he said he wanted to go back to study. He repeatedly invited him but refused to come over."

Chen Yue patted his forehead. Chen Qi was afraid that he wanted him to "take responsibility" again. Since he paid back the three guan of money, he has never dared to come to his side for a long time, but this time he really wanted him to take some responsibility. He had no choice but to stand up and go to find Chen Qi in person, and then turned to Luo Liang and said, "Brother Luo and Xian'er go to get a hundred guan of money, and come with me to find Brother Qi." Chen Yue arranged Xian'er at home to serve him, and he naturally felt that the woman was careful. Later, Chen Yue used to using it, so he did not arrange for Shutong Xiaosheng to come over. Chen Yue also felt that it was unnecessary, but when he wanted to carry heavy objects, a woman could not use it anymore, so he still asked Luo Liang to help.

Chen Yue asked the two of them to withdraw money and came to Chen Qi's courtyard alone. He stayed outside the courtyard for a while, and saw that there was no sound in the courtyard, so he pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in.

"The way to university is to be clear about virtue, to be close to the people, and to stop at the ultimate good.

Only by knowing the end can one be calm, only by being calm can one be calm, only by being quiet can one be at peace, only by being peaceful can one be considered, only by thinking can one get it. Things have the end, and things have the beginning and beginning. Knowing the beginning and end, then you will be close to the way.”

As soon as he walked into the yard, aloud reading sound came from Chen Qi's room. Chen Yue shook his head and smiled. His cousin's acting skills were really bad. Not to mention the sudden sound of reading, even if he wanted to read, don't pick up the first place in "The University". It reminded him of the jokes on the screen every time his parents came over in his previous life.

"Brother Seven, don't act anymore, why don't you come out soon." Chen Yue was too lazy to gossip with him and directly poked it out.

"Ah, it's Brother Fifth, I'm rude," Chen Qi pretended to be surprised and poked out the window and looked at it, then opened the door and walked out, but there was a resentful look on his face, "How did Brother Fifth say I'm acting?"

"When I was outside, I didn't make any noise, but I just started reading and wasn't I still acting?" Chen Yue smiled and patted Chen Qi on the shoulder, "If it were me, I might as well pretend to be studying, and I would read it out and do something that is not silver here?"

Chen Qi sneered and said with a shy face: "What the fifth brother is saying." He didn't ask Chen Yue what he was asking him to do, so he could take the initiative.

Seeing that he could calm down, Chen Yue coughed and said, "Brother Qi has a certain amount of element in my winery, do you still want it now?"

Chen Qi changed his face as soon as he heard this, thinking that the fifth brother was indeed going to cheat him, so he waved his hand decisively: "What are the words of the fifth brother? What do you want to do? My brother is willing to ask for something else? I don't want it anymore. I will do it all to help the fifth brother. If the fifth brother becomes successful in the future, it will be good for me."

"Don't really want it?"

"From the promise, the winery will have nothing to do with me from now on. If I can't get entangled in the future, I will call you grandpa!"
