After Pei Yue returned to Chengjing, his whereabouts were no longer a secret.

Hearing that the young dignitary was visiting Lin Qingyuan's former residence, Song Ximeng, the governor of Qinzhou, showed a faint smile.

Chengjing Prefecture Yin Luqi whispered: "Master Fang Bo, is the Marquis of Zhongshan confident?"

Song Ximeng chuckled: "What do you want to say?"

Although Lu Qi was not Song Ximeng's best confidant, he got along quite well in Qinzhou in the past few years. Even though outsiders secretly laughed at Song Ximeng for being a clay sculpture governor, Lu Qi felt that his Shangguan had a lot of beauty, but he didn't show it for some reason.

He said respectfully: "Now the Korean political generals will

The grain from Changpingcang was used to help the people in the city, but the share of the lower counties was obviously not enough. The official felt that it was impossible for the Marquis of Zhongshan not to be aware of this problem. He still had the leisure and grace to visit Mr. Lin's former residence outside the city today. It can be seen that

There must be a perfect plan."

Song Ximeng said calmly: "You have great confidence in Zhongshan Marquis."

Lu Qi sighed: "My lord, this is a young and weak first-class prince. Only someone like Wang E, who sits in a well and watches the sky, dares to look down upon him."

The two of them had a busy day today, running around the city to check the status of grain sales. In fact, Changpingcang has always been in charge of the governor's office. It was Song Ximeng who originally decided on the distribution of grain. However, after Han Gongduan arrived, he took the initiative to hand over this power.

go out.

Regarding Lu Qi's judgment, Song Ximeng was noncommittal and said slowly: "Qinzhou has a food shortage and the people are struggling to survive. This is the responsibility of the government. Of course, the responsibility for this matter lies with me. You are just following orders."

Lu Qi said solemnly: "My lord, I know how much preparation you have made to solve the troubles in Qinzhou. The people must endure the pain for a while, so that we can completely clean up the legacy left by the previous dynasty. If the court blames it,

I am willing to advance and retreat together with you, sir."

Song Ximeng was not surprised by this answer. The reason why he was willing to let Lu Qi participate in his plan step by step was naturally because of his character.

He smiled and said: "Wang E and his ilk are privately criticizing me as a clay governor, and saying that you are a paper governor who is proud of the power of the clan in Qinzhou, so we must be worthy of this praise."

Lu Qi also smiled and said: "Han Shenzheng and Zhongshan Hou are retreating in order to advance this time. Can they be considered to be in harmony with the adults?"

Song Ximeng said solemnly: "I can understand Han Shenzheng's reticence, but Pei Yue... I really can't see through this person."

Lu Qi asked in confusion: "Why do you say this, sir?"

Song Ximeng picked up the tea cup at hand, blew the tea gently, took a sip and said slowly: "He and I have taken two different paths. In the past few years, I have been searching for evidence of the crimes of the seven families, and even deliberately showed weakness.

Let them get even more carried away in order to capture them in one fell swoop at the critical moment."

"What's different about Marquis Zhongshan? Isn't it also true that he brings around young officials who are deeply connected to the Seven Families?"

"No, you still don't understand. This is just Pei Yue's deception. Judging from the news from Biyu Pavilion, Pei Yue has prepared enough food and wants to defeat the powerful families in Qinzhou in an upright way."

Lu Qi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said in shock: "How much food is needed? How can we raise it all in a short time?"

Song Ximeng looked at him with approval and sighed: "It will take at least two months to prepare so much food. Do you know what this means?"

Lu Qi said in a complicated tone: "At that time, the consequences of the drought had not yet fully emerged. The price of rice in Qinzhou was indeed rising, but there was no food shortage yet. The Marquis of Zhongshan was preparing so early. He is really unfathomable."

Song Ximeng nodded and said, "That's why I said I can't see through him."

Lu Qi deeply agreed with this. Such sophisticated ways of doing things can usually only be seen in old officials, but Pei Yue was too young and too mature.

He realized that the dormancy of the past few years was finally coming to light, and he couldn't help but said with excitement: "Sir, should we make some ambush first?"

Song Ximeng shook his head and said: "This is not a competition for military glory on the battlefield. There is no need to prioritize. Although Pei Yue and I have different methods, we are both busy for the people of Daliang and Qinzhou. Now it seems that his methods are more peaceful. We just

All you need is assistance and response."

Looking at the noble and scholarly governor, Lu Qi stood in awe and nodded solemnly.

…

Not only the governor's office is waiting, but Wang E and others are also waiting.

From the day Pei Yue returned to Chengjing, Wang E and other family heads continued to do superficial things, while they began to continuously strengthen surveillance in the city and Qinzhou.

On the surface, Pei Yue relied on Beiwei Camp to be unstoppable. He could even rush into Wang's house and ransack it, but he certainly couldn't do that. Although the Seven Families have been embezzling people's fields, they know how to pretend, and the people in the city and

Porridge shops in major cities have been open for several months, so they have a good reputation among the people.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, not to mention that what Pei Yue and Han Gongduan are facing is not a poisonous snake, but an intricate and interconnected nest.

Even the people who delivered food to the Imperial Envoy and the Beiwei camp were the spies of the Seven Families. No move by Pei Yue could escape the eyes of Wang E and others.

In the flower hall of the palace, Sun Mingchun said doubtfully: "Kunwu Gong, Han Shenzheng and Zhongshan Hou really place their hopes on us?"

After all, he is also an important minister whom His Majesty trusts, so he is not so naive, right?

Wang E remained silent.

Yu Guangcun frowned and said: "My people have been keeping an eye on Yongzhou. The imperial court has not made any big moves. Although the Yongzhou Governor's Office has allocated a batch of grain to go south, it will not affect the overall situation."

Thanks to its unique water conservancy advantages and endless plain terrain, Yongzhou has always been the most important granary on this continent. In normal times, without considering the disaster-stricken areas of Yuzhou and Dengzhou, Yongzhou could have

Help Qinzhou overcome this difficulty.

But last year, the imperial court fought a national war on the border of Lingzhou that lasted for more than half a year. The grain and grass consumed by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses severely damaged the vitality of the six Changping warehouses in Yongzhou. Within a few months, Qinzhou suffered from a severe drought. The imperial court and

The support that the Yongzhou government can provide for the time being is really limited.

Everyone in the hall knew this very well, and that was why they decided to follow Wang E's footsteps and create a food shortage in Qinzhou.

Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said, "The imperial court has no food, so what can we do if we don't rely on us?"

Wang E finally spoke and said in a deep voice: "According to the estimation of the accountant in my house, Chang Pingcang in Qinzhou can only last for six days at most."

Everyone's heartbeats suddenly accelerated.

Sun Mingchun gritted his teeth and said, "Kunwu Gong, do you want the people below to start building momentum?"

This is obviously to force Han Gongduan and Pei Yue to bow their heads and at least acquiesce to the major grain dealers selling grain at high prices. As long as this opportunity comes, they will have many clever ways to achieve their goals.

Just when Wang E was about to speak, Liu Yongdu, the head of the Liu family, said cautiously: "Everyone, my men discovered a small thing. I wonder if it is of any use."

Wang E immediately said: "Say!"

Liu Yongdu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "They discovered that recently there are people buying up shops in Chengjing City and the lower counties, and in various cities."

Sun Mingchun said impatiently: "What are you going to do about such a small thing?"

Liu Yongdu smiled coquettishly.

Wang E frowned and asked, "Who is doing this?"

Liu Yongdu said nervously: "My people have inquired and found out that the buyers are all locals from Qinzhou, but someone leaked that the shop will be converted into a rice store after the sale."

Wang E suddenly changed color.

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

The grain reserves in Changping Granary were decreasing day by day, and the imperial court was unable to support them in a short period of time. However, Pei Yue and Han Gongduan were able to remain stable. These people were puzzled.

Could it be said that Pei Yue can really conjure endless food?

At this moment, the exotic flowers and trees outside the flower hall rustled.

Zhao Xin was surprised: "The wind is blowing!"

…

Daliang's maritime transportation is mainly concentrated in the coastal areas. From Kyoto to the east along the Qishui River, passing through Qinzhou, you can reach Hanhai, and then go south to Lizhou and Yaozhou.

At a dock somewhere along the coast of Lizhou, rows of cargo ships were waiting to unload, while warships from the Qinzhou Navy were cruising outside for protection.

A young man came to the solid land with a pale face, and it took him a long time to get used to this feeling of happiness again.

Qinzhou Navy General Hu Dayou smiled and stepped forward to support him and said: "Master Wang, the sea is indeed

It’s hard to get used to it, but it should get better if you come here a few times.”

Wang Yong waved his hands repeatedly, shook his head and said: "Commander Hu, after I finish this matter for the young master, I probably won't take your boat again."

Hu Dayou laughed loudly, and then he spotted a group of cavalry rushing towards him from a distance.

The leading general was none other than Tang Linfen, the deputy commander of the Tibetan Front Guard.

After he dismounted and greeted Hu Da, he turned to Wang Yong and said, "Why are you here in person?"

Wang Yong said sternly: "Here are not only the grains from various stores in Kyoto, but also the grains we purchased in Qinzhou and Lizhou, which are worth more than tens of millions. To be honest with you two generals, let alone the wealth my young master has accumulated in the past few years.

, even emergency money from everywhere was thrown in. How can I feel relieved if I don’t come over and watch it myself?”

Tang Linfen and Hu Dayou looked serious. The former raised his hands and said, "The carriages and horses are ready, but I guess they will have to be sent over in batches."

Wang Yong nodded and said, "I'll leave it to the general to transport food!"

Tang Linfen said solemnly: "How dare you fail to fulfill your responsibilities?"
