The gate of the county government in Yangcheng County has not been opened for a while. As the eldest boss, Wang Wen rummaged back and forth between the Changping warehouse and the county government warehouse in Yangcheng County every day.
Even finding one more grain of grain would be good.
Wang Wen's cheeks were swollen to the size of a baby's fist, but even so he did not dare to stop, lobbying everywhere and even threatening wealthy households in the county.
The imperial court has been informed of the disaster on Henan Road, and the food relief funds will arrive in the near future. Although there may be layers of "peeling", no one dares to withhold the food relief funds.
But now "it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice"!
Simply having food funds for disaster relief is not enough. Money cannot buy food. It is absurd to say that the more food there is, the less money can buy it!
After Wang Wen checked the remaining grain in the Changping warehouse, he couldn't sleep every day. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would be frightened awake by the grain in the Changping warehouse...
There is grain in Changping Granary, but the grain is not only seriously inconsistent with the accounts, but it is not at all as recorded, "Save last year's new grain and replace it with this year's early grain!"
It is old grain that has been around for an unknown period of time, and some of it has even become sticky due to mold. Such grain should never be eaten by anyone. If it kills people, it will arouse public resentment, and this public resentment will be worse than
The disaster is even more terrible.
Now besides scolding his predecessor in his heart, Wang Wen has no other option. All grain stores in Yangcheng County do not sell grain. They are selling it at a price.
The grain merchants knew that the grain money from the court would definitely arrive, and the angry people would demand that the government government pay to sell grain for disaster relief. At that time, the person who would be really roasted on the fire would be the county magistrate himself.
Uncle Clan is right. The location of Yangcheng County is extremely important. The victims from Henan Prefecture to Kaifeng Prefecture must pass through Yangcheng County. This is his opportunity. If he can intercept the victims in Yangcheng County, he can do it in the court.
It's a beautiful story.
What the imperial court is most worried about is the influx of disaster victims into Kaifeng Mansion. As long as the victims can be kept out of Kaifeng Mansion, there will be endless ways to provide disaster relief!
But tens of thousands of victims are no longer what a small Yangcheng County can afford. Since they arrive in Yangcheng County, they will inevitably pass through Luoyang, Xijing...
Thinking of this, Wang Wen knew that he could not stir up this troubled waters, so he hurried back to the county government office to discuss countermeasures with Wang Yuan, the clan uncle. Who knew that he had just entered the yamen, and saw the clan uncle actually having sex with a young man?
Lang sat in the waterside pavilion and drank with each other. While drinking, they sang and sang.
They looked like a pair of friends who had been together forever, which made the servants beside them look dull. When Wang Wen saw the appearance of this young man, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mr. Ye Xiaolang?!"
Ye An quickly stood up, folded his hands and said politely as a junior: "Young man, Ye An, pays homage to the great master!"
Wang Wen squeezed out a smile in surprise and said: "What happened? Ye Xiaoyou didn't go to Wangjiazhuang with the commander, how could he get back to this county?"
Ye An glanced at the smiling Wang Yuan beside him, then turned around and showed the sunniest smile: "Because I want to make a big deal with the lord!"
Looking at Ye An's gloomy white teeth, Wang Wen laughed and said, "I'm afraid it's impossible to do business now. You've seen what Yangcheng County looks like. How can there be any business!"
"One hundred thousand catties of new grain! I wonder if the county magistrate has any intention?!"
“One hundred thousand catties?!”
Wang Wen almost jumped up from where he was. Looking at Ye An, who was still smiling, and Wang Yuan, who was nodding slightly, he knew something in his mind.
"When did Ye Xiaoyou become the lobbyist of the Wang family? I wonder how much the official Wang asked for it?"
"The lobbyist of the Wang family?"
Ye An, who sat down slowly, wiggled his fingers slightly: "If you don't work for the Wang family, Ye An's young mind cannot be someone else's lobbyist. He can only speak for himself!"
Wang Wen looked at Ye An's serious look and felt discouraged. No matter how talented the kid in front of him was, he couldn't possibly get one hundred thousand kilograms of grain.
"If Mr. Wang can provide 100,000 catties of grain, Wang Wen is willing to pay a premium to stop these victims. But if a little friend teases me, he will be severely punished according to the law!"
Ye An smiled and looked back at Wang Yuan, who seemed to be having fun, and pretended to be angry and said: "It seems that the eldest master still doesn't believe me, so the boy left!"
Wang Yuan, who was originally calm, looked a little disappointed when he saw his nephew, and slowly said: "Don't worry, little friend, the whole story was not told to Wen Ping, so misunderstanding is inevitable! It was Mr. Guanmiao's food that he exchanged for a treasure from Wang Hao.
, a full 100,000 kilograms, this food can solve the urgent need and provide relief to the victims!"
"Mr. Guanmiao?! It turns out that those who have attained the Tao are righteous!"
Wang Wen immediately stood in awe after hearing the name of Lao Dao, and his expression of admiration made Ye An quite unhappy. He used the name of Lao Dao to keep himself out of the matter, but he didn't expect that it actually fulfilled Lao Dao's reputation.
However, it's okay to share half of the two hundred thousand kilograms of food with the old man, but the remaining one hundred thousand kilograms are his own and no one can touch them. This is Ye An's first pot of gold in this world.
Especially the money earned from Wang Hao, who was taken advantage of, has even more extraordinary meaning.
"So, one hundred thousand catties of grain belongs to Wang Daguan's Zhuangzi?"
"To be precise, it's in the boy's granary. Wang Daguan has sold the grain to the boy, and also spared a granary. The eldest master is a gentleman. Ye An trusts the eldest man's character, and he also asked the eldest master to send someone to bring the grain.
Transport it back... You don't know something. The official may have received the news and is planning to break the contract and get the grain back. But when it gets into the hands of Wang Daguan, I don't know how much the grain will cost..."
"How unreasonable... How can we deprive the victims of life-saving food? Brother Ye, don't worry, Wang will send someone to transport the food!"
They are all smart people, and they are obedient and close friends. Ye An's intention is very clear. How could Wang Wen not know that Wang Daguan wants to go back on his word? Now Ye An is using the face of the county magistrate to get the food back.
Wang Yuan on the side can see more clearly. This Ye Xiaozi is not ordinary. Even if all the money is given to Yangcheng County for disaster relief, the cooked duck cannot fly away, but if the food is returned to the Wang family, he should be treated accordingly.
It is more advantageous, but this kid is not like this. The whole story is interesting, but it can also be seen from this that it is his character that Ye An must retaliate!
Such a person is most suitable to hang out in the court. If he enters the court by practicing literary skills, he will be a rare talent!
It's a pity that the edges and corners are too sharp and need to be polished! As for the fact that this matter involves the family of Wang Zeng, the Prime Minister of the dynasty, that doesn't matter. Wang Wen is the magistrate of Yangcheng County and it is natural for the court to gather the victims. It is not because of these 100,000
The Wang family was offended by the five kilograms of grain, not to mention that Ye Anchong was blocking everything, and Mr. Guanmiao was the guarantee, so the Wang family was given some face to avoid making things difficult.
Thinking of this, Wang Yuan secretly sighed, this guy has taken advantage of his situation to the extreme. Although his method is small, it cannot be underestimated!
The higher the evaluation of Ye An, the more unhappy Wang Yuan became. The stubborn boy refused to join the Sanhuai Wang family. It was really annoying!
Seeing Wang Wen leaving in a hurry, Wang Yuan shook his head slightly. He was usually a steady person, but when he encountered an emergency, he lost his composure. He turned to look at Ye An, only to see him rudely eating on the table.
refreshments and make tea there.
"My little friend, you have already asked someone to work for you. Isn't it time to discuss what we are waiting for?"
After swallowing the cakes on the table in one gulp, Ye An respectfully served Wang Yuan with tea: "I wonder if Mr. Yuanbo has any advice? Where can I wait to discuss this matter?"
"Wen Ping is helping you recover the food..."
"I'm not helping the boy!"
Ye An waved his hands anxiously: "This is to help the victims of the Yangcheng County disaster to share the worries of the imperial court! There are only more than a thousand people at the moment, and the small Yangcheng County has been crowded. If tens of thousands of victims come...
…”
Seeing Ye An stuffing cakes into his mouth after speaking, Wang Yuan's words were stuck in his throat, and he felt a little short of breath for a moment.
He is so slippery and so sophisticated, where did such a monster come from!! 1603447810
