What else did the shopkeeper want to say? Song Jiachen coughed quickly as if there were chicken feathers stuck in his throat.

"Ahem, cough, cough... Now that Mr. Ye has found this food, it might be a little inappropriate to interrogate these two people in broad daylight in front of others. If this kind of thing spreads, it will inevitably make people think that Jinyiweizhen is a submissive.

Aren't you buying food by force and selling by force? Take out your money and buy it with others!"

Ye Biqing raised her eyebrows and said, "Prefect Song has agreed to my official buying and selling grain at this time?"

Song Jiachen said displeasedly: "Master Ye, when did I stop letting you buy and sell grain? I just think that Jin Yiwei's approach is a bit inappropriate."

Ye Biqing smiled slightly and ignored him, then looked at the two people kneeling on the ground: "How much does food cost per stone in Taiyuan?"

Song Jiachen replied: "Master Ye, the price of food in Taiyuan is not as good as before. In the past, the price of food in Taiyuan was five cents per stone, but now it is probably twenty taels of silver per stone!"

Ye Biqing sneered and didn't say anything, but looked at the two people kneeling on the ground. The two people naturally understood that Mr. Song was passing a message to them, so the owner of the grain store raised his head and gestured with two fingers.

.

"Sir, one stone and two taels of silver. Magistrate Song is right. There is no food in Taiyuan. I bought all this food at a high price nearby. Including transportation and the efforts of the guys, it still costs two taels of silver no matter what!"

Ye Biqing smiled slightly: "Two taels of silver is just two taels of silver. You can get as much grain as you want. I will continue to open a porridge shed here today!"

The headmaster didn't dare to make any arbitrary decisions and glanced at Song Jiachen. Song Jiachen nodded imperceptibly. Then he agreed and led the guards in royal robes to take out all the food hidden in the food store.

The people cheered for a while, and the rice was put into the pot, and immediately started to be put into the water again. Ye Biqing discovered that the food included not only polished rice and brown rice, but also a lot of wheat. Ye Biqing immediately decided to send someone to grind the wheat into flour, and then requisitioned it.

The steamed bun shop's basket, the porridge and steamed buns will be given to the victims today.

Song Jiachen felt a little dissatisfied when she saw Ye Biqing buying the grains for free. Whether it was the prefect's yamen, the third division's yamen or the Jin Palace's grain stores, they all took them out and put them in this grain store. Now the grains in this grain store are all used by Ye Biqing.

I bought it, so although the yamen will be out of food, it is still good. At least it won't be afraid of inspections from the higher authorities.

Song Jiachen stopped delaying here and hurriedly rode to the Zhensi Yamen. After arriving at the Zhensi Yamen, he told Master Sansi and His Highness the King of Jin what had just happened at the porridge shop.

After hearing this, the master of the Sansi Yamen frowned and Wen Bin said.

"This Ye Biqing is really not simple. We designed it so well, but he broke it so easily. He also sold all our food. But at least we got the money back, which is pretty good."

Xie Qiu raised his head and looked at King Jin: "Your Highness, what should we do now? The grain is gone. Why do the grain merchants in Henan and Shandong still have to arrive in a day or two? If the grain merchants in Henan and Shandong don't

If we wait until the grain merchants from the Northeast arrive, everything will be in chaos!"

King Jin curled his lips and let out a long breath: "Forget it, it's easy to say, Ye Biqing didn't push us to a dead end, he must know where this food came from, and he will take this food without batting an eyelid today."

After buying it, he just wanted to give us some dignity."

The people present were all elites in the officialdom, and everyone had thought of this. It seemed that Ye Biqing was not without room for negotiation, but according to his negotiation method, at least half of the disaster relief money would not be visible.

, the remaining half can be eaten by the people instead of giving it to the people. What will they do?

Ge Congwen looked at His Royal Highness the King of Jin: "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

King Jin thought for a long time: "That's all, this Ye Biqing is so smart and not an easy character to deal with. Since he dares to openly confront me and you, it means that he has received instructions from my uncle. This is

What this uncle Wang wants, since it is his will, let’s do it according to his wishes.”

"As for the disaster relief money this time, we will not consider it for the time being. When there is such an opportunity in the future, when the court is ready to distribute some money, everyone is making a fortune. I promise you, as long as you work hard

If you follow me, I will not treat you badly."

These officials all have their own evil intentions in their hearts. Some of them plan to continue to follow, and some have already planned to join the Ming Dynasty. Since you can't give me money, then find someone who can.

Although the four officials present felt aggrieved, there was no other way. If they didn't obey me honestly, they wouldn't even be able to get the five or five.

His Highness the Prince of Jin had already made the decision, and they had no choice. After unanimously agreeing, His Highness the Prince of Jin asked Song Jiachen to invite Ye Biqing over. Meeting him in the palace would be regarded as a sign of goodwill.

Song Jiachen received His Highness's order, left the Zhensi Yamen, and returned to the grain store.

"Your Highness, Mr. Ye, please come over!"

Ye Biqing looked up at Song Jiachen and saw that Song Jiachen's expression was much better than last time. Ye Biqing also knew the principle of climbing down the old slope. If someone gives you a step, you can just get down.

"Well, since it is the invitation from His Highness Prince Jin, I have to lead the way!"

Ye Biqing got on the carriage. When Song Jiachen saw that Ye Biqing did not ride a horse, but got on the carriage, he felt very disdainful. What is this called?

After all, this man is also an official of Jinyiwei. In addition to reading the book of saints, officials in this world must also learn to ride horses. This is also considered the six skills of a gentleman.

Mr. Ye looks like a girl, and does things like a girl. If this person wasn't too difficult and smart, Song Jiachen would never like such a person.

After Song Jiachen brought Ye Biqing to the palace, he left alone. Ye Biqing got off the carriage and saw that Song Jiachen had left, but he didn't care. He raised his head and glanced at Prince Jin's palace, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"My dear, this is so awesome, it's like a smaller palace!"

She thought this in her heart, but she bravely stepped up the steps, came to the door of Prince Jin's Mansion, and knocked on the door.

As soon as the door opened, an extremely beautiful maid inside made an invitation gesture. Ye Biqing entered this courtyard and found that the Prince Jin's Mansion was really grand.

After walking for a long time, she finally arrived at the central hall. When His Highness Prince Jing saw Ye Biqing coming, he stood up and said with a smile.
