After being reborn, she became the richest man without being a queen

Chapter 50
The investigation cannot be done overnight.

Zhao Yi dispatched two chief officials to Yangzhou to investigate, while Shen Qingling left the government office to meet Zhou Langhuan.

Zhou Langhuan, who was squatting at the door to count the weeds, was overjoyed when he saw Shen Qingling coming out. He greeted him like a little girl, and after realizing that Ren Shaochun was following him, he regained his composure in the blink of an eye.

"Sorry for keeping sister Langhuan waiting for so long." Shen Qingling didn't expect Zhou Langhuan to come directly to block people at the gate of the government office, and was a little surprised, "The trial of your father's case took a long time today. Forget about the time."

Regarding Shen Qingling's confession, Zhou Langhuan was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and shook his head, saying: "Soon, if the real culprit can be found out as soon as possible, Langhuan is willing to wait another whole day."

Lunch was a makeshift meal in the government office, and when it was dinner time, Shen Qingling simply took over and led Zhou Langhuan to Yunyan Pavilion.Ren Shaochun had the cheek to accompany him, Shen Qingling didn't bother to care about him, so he held Zhou Langhuan's arm and chatted about yesterday's food distribution and storage method along the way.

The so-called divided grain storage is to divide the new grain purchased by the grain bank into ten grades over time in addition to the existing division of new grain and old grain, and the price of each grade is different.

This is a whole new method.

Nowadays, most people don't like to buy the new grain that has been pressed in the warehouse for a long time, and they all buy new grain, so naturally there is no market for the underlying grain.As a result, old grain that is not old grain becomes a problem.

If these new grains that have been squeezed out for a long time are pressed into old grains, or directly used as old grain prices, all the grain merchants will be blinded by crying, but if they are new grain merchants, ordinary people will definitely not buy them. .

Discounted price?

It’s not impossible, it’s just that it’s hard to have a constant standard, today there is today’s price, tomorrow there is tomorrow’s price, the one who buys first feels that he has suffered a loss, and he will definitely refuse to buy again next time.

If according to what Shen Qingling said, the grain bank sorts the grains in the warehouse every time new grains enter the warehouse, then the follow-up can give priority to the long-unsold ones, and there are corresponding standards.

Wealthy families or aristocratic families want to choose the best, so they choose first-class new grain, the price is relatively high; when ordinary people are short on money, they can choose tenth-class grain. Does not affect the use, it can be described as high quality and low price.

Zhou Langhuan was so fascinated by what he heard, that he didn't even realize that the waiter in the shop had finished serving the food, and he was still calculating with his pen.

"Is this method not breaking the law?" Ren Shaochun didn't understand that, before lifting the chopsticks, he lowered his voice and asked Shen Qingling, "Why does it sound like it violates the imperial court's prohibition a few years ago?"

Shen Qingling raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Do you still know what prohibition the court issued?"

When Ren Shaochun heard this, he smirked and said, "I don't understand, but my second sister is married to a grain merchant in Lizhou, and every year when she returns home, she will mention a few things. Listen, you should listen to something."

After he finished speaking, he began to bury his head in eating.

"Strictly speaking, it's not illegal." Shen Qingling insisted on not eating or sleeping, so she hadn't started yet, and explained patiently: "In the seventh year of Chengde, the government ordered grain merchants to confuse grain prices, causing floods and droughts in prefectures and counties Other grain merchants put in the warehouse at the normal average price at the end of the year, but they did not ask for more grain prices outside the warehouse."

Not to mention, selling squeezed new grain at a discount will help improve people's livelihood to a certain extent.

Zhou Langhuan, who recovered from the calculation, looked at Shen Qingling with great admiration, and said earnestly: "Sister Qingling gave me all the money, I am really grateful to Langhuan, but in the future, Sister Qingling has orders. Never refuse."

Shen Qingling didn't want to repay favors, so she didn't care what Zhou Langhuan said, but just gently signaled Zhou Langhuan to move his chopsticks.

After all, it is the restaurant of the Du family.

When the group of three were halfway through eating, the door of the private room was knocked open with a bang.

The four burly men headed by Du Chengyu ran into the sight of Shen Qingling and the others, and judging by their aura, they were clearly looking for faults.

"Du Chengyu, get out." Ren Shaochun's face suddenly darkened, he stood up with his chopsticks backhanded, and said, "If you dare to act wild here, be careful that you won't be able to walk around!"

But seeing Du Chengyu swaying his flesh, he laughed and said: "I told Ren Sanlang how he said that he would not go to Lanxiangyuan in the future. It turns out that he is accompanied by beauties!"

Anticipating that the dog would not be able to spit out ivory, Ren Shaochun kicked away the chair, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go over and do something.

Shen Qingling stretched out her hand to grab him, then slowly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said: "Mr. Du Xiaolang is not at home to wash the dust for elder brother? After all, elder brother has only walked through the yamen once."

The house suddenly fell silent.

"Of course, I don't care if Mr. Du Xiaolang returns or not. It's just that Mr. Du Xiaolang must not forget that Yunyan Pavilion has a wide range of good relationships and is doing business in the market. You can make up for it in the day."

Her voice was not loud, and her eyes were extremely peaceful.

But no one present dared to directly contradict back, let alone contradict, even dared to make eye contact.Just looking at Shen Qingling's calm and breezy aura, it is far more oppressive than Du Chengyu and the others.

After a short silence, as if to make amends, Du Chengyu said sternly: "The Yunyan Pavilion belongs to the Du family, that is, my young master. I am not afraid of being threatened by you, my young lady, young master."

It can only be said that compared with fools, people who are stupid and easily incited are the kind that Shen Qingling hates the most.

"We have no enmity with Mr. Du Xiaolang. The three people around you don't look like servants of the Du family in terms of their clothes." Shen Qingling got up, moved her lotus steps lightly, and said as she walked, "Golden silk is wrapped around jade. The rare top quality, from the perspective of craftsmanship, should be produced by the Southern School Xuanyuan, it seems that this one is either rich or expensive."

The one named by Shen Qingling was the big man in blue shirt standing on the left side of Du Chengyu.

This person is about eight feet tall, with sword-shaped eyebrows and raised eyes, and is dressed very plainly, but there is a luxurious jade pendant hanging on his waist.Once Shen Qingling pointed it out, he immediately stretched out his hand to cover the jade pendant around his waist.

The other two looked at me, and I looked at you, and hurriedly covered up the things on their bodies that could indicate their identities.

"Everything sold by the Xuanyuan family of the Nanpai will be registered, and your Excellency's golden silk jade is no exception." Shen Qingling raised her head to look at him with a half-smile, "Let Du Xiaolang-jun provoke guests in Yunyan Pavilion, I think that Du Yanei, who has just been hit by bad luck, is about to show his anger."

Although there is a difference in height, the power is completely opposite.

As soon as Shen Qingling said these words, even Du Chengyu shivered inexplicably.He rolled his eyes a few times, raised his chin and said, "Master, you didn't provoke the guests. Why, you mistakenly thought that there was no one here, so you can't open it, why can't you take a look?"

Speaking of Du Chengyu, it would be meaningless to continue making trouble.

The two men beside him tugged at Du Chengyu's robe, winked at each other, and then scattered like birds and beasts.
