Ye An walked into the county government gate of Yangcheng County grandly.
Now this place has become a taboo place in the county town, and Sun Quanbin's arrival almost took over the place.
Of course, the heavily armed soldiers under him are even more intimidating, but Ye An doesn't care. He is now more or less a person who has stepped into the literary world. In the future, he will pay homage to Wang Wen as a junior. If these big-headed soldiers dare to stop him,
If you hold on, Wang Wen will definitely hit your skull with an inkstone.
The high status of literati in this era is... outrageous.
Sun Quanbin could be rude to Wang Wen, but he greeted Wang Yuan with a smile and politeness. The reason was that Wang Wen had an official position and Wang Yuan did not...
This "old man" from the Sanhuai Wang family has been following Wang Dan for a long time and is also a figure in Tokyo. Although he has no official position, how can he be easily offended by someone who is invited into the palace by the Queen Mother?
But when Wang Yuan saw Ye An entering the main hall of the Yamen in a grand manner, the expression on his face could even be seen by Sun Quanbin, who was concerned and reproachful for this boy.
But his tone of caring about Ye An made Sun Quanbin curse in his heart.
Pointing at Sun Quanbin, Wang Wen said to Ye An in a deep voice: "All one hundred thousand kilograms of grain were given to this eunuch?!"
Ye An smiled bitterly and nodded: "One hundred thousand catties of grain, not less than one catty, were all given to Li Li. Wang Daguan sent people to load the trucks, and also allocated customers in Zhuangzi to transport them to deduct taxes."
"What should we do in Yangcheng County?! How can you ignore death? The lives of the people in Xijing are lives, but the tens of thousands of lives in Yangcheng County are not lives?!"
Wang Yuan was furious, pointing at the county government office and shouting questions, his tone seemed to turn every word into a barbed whip and hit Ye An on the body.
Ye An shrugged his shoulders and looked at Sun Quanbin who was not paying attention. He turned back and saluted Wang Yuan and said, "Sir, Ye An will remember your kindness! But Yangcheng County is not without food. These 100,000 kilograms of food are given to us."
Tiju's role in providing relief to Luoyang is greater than that in Yangcheng County, and Tiju will not just rush to Luoyang with the boy's 100,000 kilograms of grain, right?"
After Ye An finished speaking, he looked at Sun Quanbin slyly.
He was not angry at Wang Yuan's reproach to him. This reproach was more like a reproach for caring for the younger generation, with a hint of anger. Over the years, Ye An had already been able to distinguish who was truly kind to him.
Although Wang Yuan's condescending attitude made him uncomfortable before, now that he sincerely protects him, Ye An feels inexplicably warm in his heart.
Regardless of Wang Yuan or Wang Hao, in the final analysis, these two people were still members of the scholar-official class of the Song Dynasty. They still had a concern for the country and the people in their hearts, and they still had the intention of protecting their younger generation who was late in learning.
This is probably the obsession of a gentleman in the hearts of the Song people, and it is also the realm pursued by the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, right?
One hundred thousand kilograms of grain was given to Sun Quanbin. Once word spread, his reputation would be completely ruined. At least in Yangcheng County, he would be known as "arrogant and stingy jackal".
Sun Quanbin smiled, and the roughness on his face became more and more fierce, but the anger in his eyes became more and more serious: "This is natural! A certain family wants to dig out all the food in Yangcheng County! Except for the relief of Yangcheng County
All the remaining families of the victims will be taken away!"
Wang Yuan suddenly trembled, and pointed at Sun Quanbin: "How dare you do this?"
They are all sensible people, and there is no need to pretend to be confused. After listening to Sun Quanbin's words, Wang Yuan knew what he was going to do, which was to rob and relieve natural disasters!
"How can people's wealth be plundered? The state and the dynasty will never allow competing for profits with the people!"
Sun Quanbin laughed loudly, his laughter getting weirder and sharper: "Robbing people's wealth? No, no, no, sir, you are praising a certain family too much.
A certain family cannot do such immoral things. What a certain family wants to spend money to sell is the grain of those merchants who hoard grain. Those people are not considered "people", and a certain family is not robbing, but buying!"
The anger in Wang Yuan's heart disappeared somehow. He knew very well what kind of existence was behind those merchant families. He looked at the determined Sun Quanbin and slowly said: "Do you know that there are people behind those people?"
Whose family? If you do this, I’m afraid you will offend many people!”
Sun Quanbin grinned: "You are indeed someone who has followed Xianggong Wang! You really have some courage. When a certain family returns to the capital, they will definitely say that you argued hard and spent a lot of time to get food, excusing your Wang family.
Fan."
Wang Yuan smiled bitterly and pointed around: "Yangcheng County has become like this. If Wang Wen wants to have a good reputation, he can only save the victims here."
Sun Quanbin clapped his hands and said: "That's it. A certain family belongs to the Queen Mother, and they are just scumbags. They are not afraid of offending those people. As long as they take care of the officials and the Queen Mother's errands, they don't care about other things!"
Wang Wen nodded with a lonely face, looked at Ye An and said: "The devil is as tall as the devil, so be careful if you take revenge on others now."
Ye An smiled and crossed his hands and said in return: "Thank you sir for your concern, Ye An will keep it in mind! But this matter has nothing to do with the boy!? Are you a high official?"
Sun Quanbin pointed at his nose and said with a wry smile: "Oh! In the end, it was all blamed on a certain family, no matter how many lice it itch, no matter how many debts there are! Who made a certain family the eunuch?"
………………………………
The Qian family does not own land in Yangcheng County, but this does not prevent them from purchasing grain here.
Yangcheng County is located between Songshan Mountain and Jishan Mountain, with the Ying River running through the hinterland. Yangcheng County, with thousands of miles of fertile fields, has always been the production center of Henan Prefecture.
The grain shops here not only sell grain, but also purchase large amounts of grain and transport it to sell elsewhere to earn the price difference. This simple trade can be almost a profitable business.
But the premise is that you have your own transportation channels and can open up many joints in them.
The Qian family has both, so it is natural that they will make a lot of profits. However, at the moment, Henan Prefecture is experiencing a locust plague and food prices are soaring. This can be regarded as the Qian family's luck, but this luck will soon turn into disaster.
The Qian family's shop in Yangcheng County received no less than 3,000 shi of grain due to the summer harvest, which was tantamount to a windfall for the Qian family's foreign residence.
At present, the price of one stone of grain in Yangcheng County has risen to one thousand and three hundred cents. Even so, the price is still high and there is no market. A group of grain merchants have already discussed that if the price can be increased to another three hundred cents, then they can buy rice from abroad.
Qian Tao firmly remembered the words of his second brother Qian Hui: buy slowly and slowly, there is no chance it will rise again!
After turning over an unknown amount of money, he could wake up from his dreams with a smile. For some reason, his second brother had disappeared in the past few days. He said he had gone to the Wang family, but asked someone to tell him that he had gone back to Tokyo city first.
Qian Tao has no doubt that he is there. Although his second brother is gone, he must do his job well. The reputation of the boy named Ye An in Yangcheng County has been ruined by him. How many people hear this name every time?
He would call him a jackal and compare him to an arrogant "Yelang".
In Qian Tao's view, the more severe the disaster in Yangcheng County, the more money the food in the shops will earn. How much is a human life worth? In which year was there no disaster that killed no one?
However, Yangcheng County is lucky. The county magistrate actually brought back 100,000 kilograms of grain from Wangjiazhuang, but it was only enough to last for a while. You still want to force a group of grain merchants to buy rice?
Don’t you know that it has already been seen through by the experienced shopkeepers!
Standing at the door of the shop, looking at more and more victims outside, Qian Tao's heart couldn't help but fly out of joy. Last night, he exchanged a few pancakes that were so unpalatable that they were fed to dogs for three young women.
When people come back and spend the night, the feeling is... sizzling.
Thinking of this, Qian Tao's heart became even hotter. He hurried back to the room and picked up a white flour pancake, intending to change it to a better-looking one. But then he put it down and picked up some millet and wild vegetable pancakes again.
Bang…………bang…………
The wild vegetable and millet cakes fell to the ground. Qian Tao watched in stunned silence as the large group of soldiers broke open the thick wooden door and kicked away the shopkeeper who stepped forward to stop him with a big foot.
Qian Tao's face instantly turned red: "Thiefs! Thieves with the army! These tricks are really blind! Do you know whose store this is?! How presumptuous!"
But he didn't notice that the faces of these "thieves" were very clean...
