The Big and Big Qinghe

Butler Xie San is a smart man. He was so good at wearing the same pants as Longkou and Liu Peng, but at this time he lowered his voice and said carefully: "Master, you can't say this. If it reaches Longkou, it will probably be a big trouble!"

Master Tao really thought that Butler Xie San was considering the problem from his own standpoint. He smiled and said, "So what if it is spread? If Liu Peng wants to be the county magistrate of Zhaoyuan, I must nod. Others have the final say in being the county magistrate, and my words are not useful, but he is too young and has too little experience and has no fame. How can I not nod if I want to reach the top in one step!"

Butler Xie San agreed deeply: "This is the reason, but since Longkou is not allowed to go to Pingshan to serve porridge, what else can I do? There are thousands of people gathered in Pingshan now, so I can't see them starving to death!"

However, Master Tao had a sudden inspiration. He said, "There is a way, of course there is a way. I thought about it and immediately banned the delivery of grain and firewood to Pingshan. There are thousands of people in Pingshan. As long as there is no grain and firewood, I think what they will do, and what else can they do besides dispersing?"

Butler Xie San subconsciously felt that Master Tao’s idea was inappropriate, but he was not convenient to point out that there might be something wrong with it. He just advised: “Master, if someone is starved to death, it will inevitably affect the Master’s official voice.

"There are no people starving to death in the six prefectures, nine prefectures and eighty counties in Shandong. Besides, there is no food or firewood, and the refugees will naturally disperse. Although the rice price in Dengzhou Prefecture is a bit higher, there is food everywhere!"

Hearing this, Butler Xie San dared not persuade him anymore. He could only say one sentence: "The master is wise!"

However, the prefect Tao laughed: "I will order Penglai County tomorrow that the people in Pingshan have poor intentions and sent them to lobby for disbandment. At the same time, it is prohibited to transport rice, beans, firewood and grass to Pingshan."

Master Tao felt that this was a strategy to defeat the enemy without fighting.

At this time, Lijin County was a different scene.

The relatives of the Xiao family had overturned the roof. They asked loudly: "Why is a stone of rice only sold for three taels of silver? A stone of rice costs three taels of silver in Dengzhou, but when transported to our Lijin, why is it still only sold for three taels of silver after being transported into Qinghe?"

"Yes! Is it a loss like this? I think we have to make at least profitable shipping! Even if we don't make shipping, someone will have to pay the money after we arrive!"

"Dengzhou is a stone of rice and three taels of silver. We don't have five taels of silver here, at least four taels of silver!"

Everyone's opinions were consistent, that is, the price of one stone of rice and three taels of silver was really inappropriate, but at this time Liu Kangjie said: "One stone of rice and three taels of silver is enough. If Dengzhou had not already sold one stone of rice and three taels of silver, I would have planned to only sell one stone of rice and one tael of silver. I have gone out for a few days and someone in Lijin has already sold his children. I heard that some places have starved to death. One stone of silver is still like this. If it goes up further, the situation may be worse."

Liu Kangjie is a good old man. Many times he has no choice but to be tough enough. He is often confused. However, good old man also has the advantage of good old man, that is, his heart is soft-hearted.

He was already satisfied with his life. He never dreamed that he would have made such a leap at this age. He became a salt farm ambassador, and his son Liu Peng was even more amazing. He served as the inspector of Dongliang Haikou and was even more famous in Dengzhou Prefecture.

With such a wealthy and great honor, Liu Kangjie was already satisfied. He no longer pursued more external things, but considered the issue of accumulating more good deeds: "Anyway, I am just saying that. If anyone wants to raise the rice price randomly, then go back to Dengzhou!"

How could we go back to Dengzhou? Everyone is following Liu Kangjie in Lijin to call the wind and rain and be majestic, but the situation is different when it comes to Longkou. Liu Peng has his own team. His relatives have to start from scratch, so everyone suddenly became silent. But someone soon came up with the idea: "Sister, tell me, the rice price outside now starts at a stone of rice and five taels of silver. Wouldn't we offend people if we sell three taels of silver?"

In their impression, Liu Xiao is a very rich woman. She has such a family business and has to be petty for 180 cents. This time it is related to more than 10,000 taels of silver!

Liu Xiaoshi had to be moved, but the development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations. Liu Xiaoshi shook his head and said, "The old man and I both have the same idea. Just make other money with confidence. We cannot make such money that is harmful to good deeds! That's right, I have inquired. Now a dou of rice outside is sold for five cents of silver, but this is why we have to transport rice from Dengzhou. It's not a question of how many taels of silver, but it's a matter of life-threatening!"

Liu Xiao became so powerful that even Liu Peng didn't dare to speak much, but she felt soft-hearted and could eat vegetarian food for days and nights: "What you saw were thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver, but what I saw was thousands or tens of thousands of lives. Peng'er sent this 30,000 stone of grain to do good deeds for everyone, not to make everyone rich!"

She scolded her: "Besides, we can not only make money for one stone of rice and three taels of silver, but also make a lot of money. We should not be too greedy, so we should do it as Peng'er said, and sell it for one stone of rice and three taels of silver. If anyone is not satisfied, go back to Dengzhou!"

After Liu Xiao said this, the relatives below were silent and no one dared to speak more.

Xiao Maxiong has always admired Liu Xiaoshi very much. Today, Liu Xiaoshi's words made him even more determined: "Sister, I think you are doing this beautifully. Our family is no longer a time to be petty. We have to consider Mr. Liu and Xiaofei."

When talking about the word "Xiao Fei", Xiao Maxiong deliberately emphasized his tone, but Liu Xiao is a smart person. Xiao Maxiong doesn't need to mention anything deliberately. She understands what Xiao Maxiong wants to say.

But she sighed and asked, "Is it okay for Xiaofei to be in Longkou?"

"Fortunately, all of us are taking care of him, and Mr. Liu is also very careful about Xiaofei's affairs." Xiao Maxiong replied: "Now Xiaofei takes into account both knowledge and things, and he will definitely become a great player in the future."

"I feel much more at ease when you say this. If Tayce's new things are not available in the exam room, I'm worried that Xiao Feibai will learn it."

But Xiao Maxiong said, "How could it be in vain? Our family doesn't have to consider the issue of imperial examinations. Besides, we just go to the imperial examinations, and at most we can just be a deputy juren!"

Liu Xiao nodded: "This is true that our family has never produced any real study seeds. Alas, there is really no one in our family! Look at what the scene is today, and they all want their lives when they see money."

The "our family" she said is not the Liu family, but the Xiao family, but Xiao Maxiong did not dare to take on this topic: "Sister, our Xiao family still has someone, but it has not been found yet. However, I think that Li Jin may not be able to open up the situation when his brother-in-law and sister are doing the right thing."

Liu Xiao did not expect Xiao Maxiong to say this. She asked, "But your brother-in-law is a miserable official. He will leave his post if he is one or two salt ambassadors. No matter how much we spend on Lijin, we will eventually get cheaper."

But Xiao Maxiong said, "One or two salt ambassadors are enough. Sister, you probably don't know that Changyi County is now the territory of our Longkou. That's right, it's Changyi County, Laizhou Prefecture. In this case, it won't take three to five years to make great achievements in Lijin! The key is that someone needs to be!"

Liu Xiaoshi knew that "someone" by Xiao Maxiong did not mean anything. Liu Kangjie himself was useless and there was no suitable candidate among his relatives. Even the Liu family could not find someone who could stand alone: ​​"Maxiong, please pay attention to your sister and see where the talents can take the lead. Please ask him to take charge of the overall situation in Lijin. I will ask your brother-in-law to do it according to his method."

Xiao Maxiong shook his head and said, "Talents like Zhuang Diaozhi are not something we can find whenever we want. We have to find it with our heart, and even if we find someone, we may not be our own family."

Liu Xiao had long heard of Zhuang Dianzhi's name: "It doesn't matter! Look at Zhuang Dianzhi's surname is Liu, the key is that there must be such a person so that we can pave the way and build a bridge for Xiaofei."

Xiao Maxiong nodded and said, "I know this. I'll help my sister stare at it, but sister, you can pay more attention to Lijin. We still have good daughters in our family."

"Yeah!" Liu Xiao nodded and said, "This is a solution."

Liu Peng was also talking to Gu Mengyu and Jiang Qingyue about the issue of transporting grain to Lijin this time: "Although 30,000 stones cannot solve the big problem, it is at least an urgent need for Jinan Prefecture, and we can only do this."

This time, the grain transport was docked from Lijin and then transported to both sides of the Daqing River by using salt ships. Although there were only 30,000 shi of grain, the rice prices on both sides of the Daqing River fell accordingly.

It turned out that the rice price had started at least four taels, and there were even five taels and six taels. As soon as the grain ship in Longkou arrived, it immediately fell back below four taels. The situation of half of Jinan Prefecture eased. Even the provincial governor, inspector, and governor remembered Liu Peng's name and wrote a letter to ask if he could continue to receive rice beans from Jinan Prefecture through the Daqing River.

"The Daqing River needs to be slowed down!" Gu Mengyu said: "The biggest problem now is the Xiaoqing River!"

Going along the Xiaoqing River, you can go straight from Yangjiaogou in Qingzhou Prefecture to Zhangqiu County, Jinan Prefecture. The problem is that the official school of Hengwang Mansion has been guarding Yangjiaogou and does not allow grain ships from Denglai to dock in Yangjiaogou. Therefore, Jiang Qingyue asked: "Do you want us to wash Yangjiaogou? Yuchan, what do you think of my idea?"
