"Seed grain is not the price." Manager Yun was a little angry. In his opinion, any transaction that did not explain the reason was a deception.

Yun Zhao smiled at the statement that Manager Yun had observed his words and expressions.

Manager Yun didn't know Yun Zhao's real purpose and Yun Zhao's views on businessmen like Zhangjiakou, so he could only consider it from the perspective of interests.

I hope to make things smaller and eventually achieve this lucrative deal.

Not only did Manager Yun look at it like this, but even Yun Fu and Yun Meng were somewhat confused about the obvious hostility that Yun Zhao showed.

It’s better for my family to sell sorghum at a suitable price. As for whether they want to feed animals or use them as seeds, that’s their business.

"That's it. You are responsible for raising grain and making the business done. We will rely on these merchants outside the mouth in the future."

Manager Yun was very happy and said repeatedly: "Young master, leave it to the old slave. As long as you harvest the autumn grain this year, 50,000 harbors of grain will not be difficult to raise."

Yun Zhao nodded and left the hall.

Seventy percent of the 50,000 harbors of grain should be supplied to the soldiers of the Nine Borders of the Ming Dynasty for salt gushing. This is certain.

The remaining 30% is sorghum, which can be used as livestock feed and suitable for people to eat, can escape the monitoring of the border army, and it is hard to say where it will be transported to in the end.

Yun Zhao originally planned to fry the sorghum, but later he found that it was too obvious to do so, so he planned to smoke the sorghum with sulfur and then polish it with wax to make its color look better and more shiny.

He didn't know if the sorghum that was fluffed with sulfur and polished with wax would change, but he just wanted to destroy it simply with the experience of later generations.

Anyway, if you smoke it with sulfur, you should not eat anything that is polished with hot wax. At most, it will not be beneficial to people.

If this batch of sorghum finally entered the mouths of the border army, the problem would not be too big. If it accidentally flowed into the hands of the rest of the people, I don’t know if such seeds can still come out?

This method was known to Yun Zhao when he helped farmers who bought fake seeds and had no harvest in the lawsuit, and it was the worst.

Seeds fumigated with sulfur do not develop insects, and seeds polished with wax are bright and full in color. Whether they will emerge depends on the farmers' luck.

This matter must be done secretly. It is best not to let people like Manager Yun know about it, so that they can cover up the matter.

You must be vigilant enough towards businessmen, even if they belong to your own family.

Throughout the dynasties, no matter when it was, merchants were the ones that the government could not trust, and there were absolutely no exceptions!

There is no need to be such a troublesome business with Zhang Daoli. Zhang Daoli opened the treasury and took out all the money in it, not even letting go of copper.

He purchased 210,000 dan of grain in Lantian County at a price of five cents below the market price, and made great efforts. Under the supervision of all the officials of Xi'an Prefecture, the two governors of Shaanxi, the officials of the Qin Palace, and countless people, he put 210,000 dan of grain into the granary.

This move brought him great reputation.

After doing this, Zhang Daoli took his wife and children, as well as two carriages to salute, and left Xi'an Prefecture as an honest official, and went to Nanjing to take office.

Before the carriage left Xi'an City, his carriage was wrapped in a package with the umbrella and the flag of the people.

When he was about to leave Xi'an City, an old man took off Zhang Daoli's boots with his own hands to show that he wanted to leave the boots.

After being replaced by the beauty of Xi'an City, Zhang Daoli broke a willow branch from the weeping willows by the moat and inserted it into the car. After drinking three glasses of wine, he resolutely got on the carriage and shed tears to the people of Xi'an.

Yun Zhao watched Zhang Daoli leave at Baqiao and saw this grand farewell scene with his own eyes. Even if he knew what kind of person Zhang Daoli was, he could only admire him at this moment.

At the same time, he was shocked by the low demands of the people of the Ming Dynasty for officials.

"That's right, that's what it is. Zhang Daoli is a smart person. Before leaving, he did a good thing for the people of Xi'an, so it's also worth it to have such a scene."

Hong Chengchou sat lazily on the mat, yawned and said slowly to Yun Zhao.

"You are here to block me, are you?"

"What do I do if I block you? I am now an idle official. What's wrong with returning to Xi'an to recuperate for a few days?"

"Aren't you suppressing bandits in Yansui?"

"Even the people in Yansui land are almost gone, where do you get the bandits?"

"Didn't you all go to Shanxi? You won't go with you?"

"With Cao Wenzhao here, a certain family can rest."

Yun Zhao could understand Hong Chengchou's depression. Everyone was busy for several years, but in the end, the big advantage was taken by Cao Wenzhao who came from afar, so he felt very uncomfortable.

Hong Chengchou invited Yun Zhao to sit on the mat, poured him a cup of tea and continued, "Don't think about it, Hong is not a petty person, nor is it the little credit of Cao Wenzhao.

You may not know yet. Your Majesty asked about the situation of Shanxi Censor Du Qiaolin, Shaanxi political participation in politics, Shanxi and Shaanxi.

One said: The enemy is in Pingyang or in Hequ. I heard that it has gradually crossed the river. The river is still blocked, so I must make a big deal, but there are few soldiers and shortages of wages.

One said: Mountains are separated by the river, and they are suddenly gone and come, so the river bend is trapped alone.

Your Majesty said: "When the King Zuo Gun surrenders, why should he kill him again?

Some people also say: This is the fault of Hong Chengchou.

Your Majesty said: I am a child, so I should comfort him, and there is no need to give me a special care."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Then you, the Governor of Yansui, will you go back to Xi'an to rest?"

Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "My Shangguan Yang He came to Your Majesty and said, "Border soldiers were born on the frontier, and there was nothing else to do if they were not allowed to join the army. Those who were fathers, brothers, and children died in battle, and those who were alive would be replenished."

When they charge in battle, they often hang a blood-carred sword, lie in snow and frost, and half of them are used as bones on the battlefield. After aiding Liao, they have always fought back several people. The soldiers here share the pain.

I was in a position to go out of the border in autumn and saw that the Yanxi area was more bitter than the middle and east roads. I had a monthly salary in the past, and I had four years of lack of land and no one was produced. I resisted drought frequently and the millet was as expensive as pearls. I wanted to avoid being a thief, but I could not get it!"

"Huh? You mean, the imperial court has begun to sympathize with the bandits while suppressing the bandits, right?"

Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "That's right. Now the court is recruiting bandits. Pig, be prepared for another chaos in Shaanxi."

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "I just need to take good care of the people in Lantian, and there are no bandits in Lantian."

Hong Chengchou looked at Yun Zhao's eyes and said, "There will be some, there will be many thieves if this continues."

Yun Zhao saw a serious anxiety in Hong Chengchou's eyes, took a sip of the tea and said, "I am just a county magistrate, and I am a county magistrate who doesn't want to make myself like a firecracker."

Now I want to take the people of Lantian County to live the life that people should live, and I don’t want to participate in too many things.

Nowadays, as long as I am an official, I want to ask me for food, but the problem is that they are still unwilling to give money.

Official, don’t you want to ask for food for nothing from me, right?

Let me tell you the truth, you have to wait until three years later if you want food. Before that, every grain of food in Lantian County has been arranged."

Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "There is no need to cover his pocket first when he sees me."

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "The current officials are more terrifying than robbers. Zhang Daoli used his capital's master to suppress me and took away 210,000 dan of grain from Lantian County at a price of five cents below the market price.

There was also a Zhangjiakou merchant Huang Yongfa who used salt and 10% of the market price and got 50,000 dan of grain from me to the Bian Jun.

Official, how much do you think a small Lantian County can support?”

Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "No one can do anything about Zhang Daoli. His staff is really powerful and I can't afford to offend you or I.

But Huang Yongfa...how are you going to transport the food to him?"

Yun Zhao looked at Hong Chengchou's eyes and said word by word: "I only sent it out of Lantian County, and the rest is nothing to do with me."

Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "Thieves are like mahjong. There were thieves robbing food on Shaohua Mountain before. I wonder who can take away the 50,000 dan of food this time?"

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Huang Yongfa himself is a horse thief and will not give others an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Hong Chengchou picked up the teacup and invited Yun Zhao to drink together, and then asked the old servant to pack up the furnishings and walked upstream along the Ba River with his hands behind his back.
