The best eunuch

Chapter 95 Arriving in Shandong for the first time, a black-hearted grain merchant

"Crack!" In Cai Jing's study in the Grand Master's Mansion, Cai Suo patted the table vigorously.Cai Jing glanced at Cai Tao, and Cai Tao immediately understood that he had overstepped the action just now, which made Cai Jing very unhappy.

Cai Tao hurriedly calmed down and said: "I'm sorry father, the boy just overstepped. But that Liang Xin is too shameless, he has already made a deal with the boy and yet he still uses those evidences to threaten the boy."

Cai Jing looked at Cai Tao and asked, "Since it's a deal, why don't you take the opportunity to let him hand over all the evidence to you?"

"This..." Cai Tao was speechless for a while.In fact, he was thinking at the time that firstly, Liang Xin could not break his promise so shamelessly, and secondly, if Liang Xin wanted to go back on his word, then the evidence handed over might be withheld or forged.That's why Cai Tao didn't ask Liang Xin for these evidences at that time.But he couldn't explain these in front of Cai Jing, because if he said these words at this moment, Cai Jing would regard him as a cover-up.

"Forget it. We'll promise him once this time, anyway, it won't do him any good if he gets involved in such a big event." Cai Jingping said flatly.It is this plain appearance that Cai Tao will feel a lot of pressure every time he sees it.He has even begun to slowly understand why his eldest brother and his father turned against each other and turned against each other.

Here in Shandong.It should be that the matter of Yanyun Mansion forced Liang Xin to speed up the pace of disaster relief. He first went to Qingzhou, the capital of Shandong, and only after arriving here did Liang Xin disclose his identity to more than 30 village owners of the Green Forest League.

Qingzhou Yunlai Inn.One of Xichang's intelligence sites in Qingzhou.Liang Xin held a meeting with the village owners of the Green Forest League in the other courtyard in the backyard of the inn.When Liang Xin disclosed his identity, the village owners of the Green Forest League were shocked.

They didn't know how to react for a moment, but there was a deep sense of uneasiness in their hearts.After all, they are now on other people's territory, and at the same time they are here to rob other people's money.In case someone wants to attack him, maybe they don't even have a chance to resist.

Liang Xin knocked on the table and said: "Everyone don't have to worry. I have been with you for a few days, and I can be said to be friends anyway. I revealed my identity to everyone today, in fact, it is just to be honest with everyone."

indeed.During this period of time, Liang Xin has treated these people really well.Everywhere I go, I don't talk about the delicious food and drink, and every day, the village owners will talk about wine and talk about the world.This person is all about feelings, after a few days of getting along, Liang Xin is already a convincing leader in the hearts of everyone.

Huang Dixing of the Fire Dragon Gang was the first to stand up and salute Liang Xin: "Master, you don't need to say more. Since you are honest with us, then we will not hide it. We are all here to intercept disaster relief funds. If the disaster relief official is the lord, then we will not have any other thoughts. If the lord is useful to us, then just give orders, if not. Then we will go back to the Daming Mansion."

Liang Xin glanced at Huang Dixing with admiration in his eyes.He said: "Since getting along with everyone, I also feel that everyone is a man of temperament, and everyone is a good man. After all, occupying the mountain as king is not a long-term solution. If you don't dislike it, I will admit you into it. I am Xichang, and I will serve the imperial court with me in the future."

"This..." This sudden news made all the village owners feel a little unprepared.They were used to lounging in the mountains and green forests, and they felt a little uncomfortable when they were asked to accept the imperial court's offer.Of course, not everyone is moved.After all, bandits in the green forest are despised by others, and being able to become a full-time official is a huge attraction for everyone.

After all, Liang Xin had been with these village owners for several days, so he was very clear about their concerns.So Liang Xin said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will still be your king of the mountain after joining our West Factory. It's just that you can no longer rob ordinary people. The West Factory will provide you with daily necessities, and I will pay you every month." You will not be stingy either. Your mission is to be the intelligence station of our West Factory, helping us obtain information and supporting our intelligence points when necessary."

"That's it. That's a good relationship. Being a bandit is poked in the back every day, and even smeared the face of the ancestors. I am happy to work with the leader, and I will be the first to join." Ge Daxiong from Poisonous Wolf Village said this.

With him as the leader, the rest expressed their willingness to join.After Liang Xin nodded, the first task he assigned was to solve the disaster relief in Shandong with him.

Come to Qingzhou Mansion.Liang Xin took out the imperial decree to show his status as an imperial envoy, and Yin Jiangxia, the prefect of Qingzhou, immediately expressed his full support for Liang Xin's disaster relief.Liang Xin didn't ask Jiangxia if there was any grain in the Qingzhou government granary. The answer should be yes, no.

Liang Xin first asked Jiang Xia to call Shandong grain merchants to the government office for a meeting. He only brought money and no grain, so the first thing to do was to buy a large amount of grain.

Jiang Xia was quite efficient in doing things, and within two hours, all the grain merchants in Qingzhou were summoned to Qingzhou Mansion.Before going to the meeting, Jiang Xia whispered to Liang Xin: "My lord, be careful for a while, these grain merchants are very dark. Since the severe drought, I have asked them to sell some grain and grass at a low price several times. They said They didn’t agree to anything, and raised the price of grain to six pennies a bucket.”

"Six strokes and one fight?" Liang Xin was shocked and angry when he heard it.During the Zhenghe period, the price of food in the Song Dynasty has been rising, and it has risen to more than 200 Wen a bucket.If it is affected by the disaster, the food may rise to nearly a thousand pennies.But these six pennies are a bucket of money, isn't this a money grab?

Liang Xin's eyes became a little hot and cold. He nodded to express his understanding and walked into the meeting hall of Qingzhou Mansion.There were more than 40 big grain merchants in Qingzhou sitting in the hall. Seeing Liang Xin walking in wearing a python robe, these grain merchants didn't stand up and salute Liang Xin.

Liang Xin didn't mind, instead, he bowed his hands and saluted the grain merchants first: "Good morning, all the grain merchants in Qingzhou. This Marquis is the loyal Marquis appointed by the emperor. Yamen, this time I came here to provide disaster relief in Shandong."

Hearing what Liang Xin said, these grain merchants slowly got up and saluted Liang Xin and shouted: "See Lord Hou."

Liang Xin nodded: "You don't need to be too polite, please sit down."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." The grain merchants sat back to their original positions.

Liang Xin said: "The reason for calling everyone here is because of the emergency in Shandong. When I came, I only brought money and no food. So I want to ask you to buy food for disaster relief. I wonder if you have any food in your hands now? What is the price?"

"There is grain. It's just that the price may be more expensive. Now that there is a shortage of grain in Shandong, the purchase price of grain also changes every day. Now the grain in my hand is taken back by six guan per bucket. Since Lord Hou wants to buy it Go to disaster relief, then I won't earn a penny, and sell it to Lord Hou at the original price."

The person who said this was Mi Renliang, the largest grain merchant in Qingzhou, known as the King of Rice in Qingzhou.As soon as he said those words, the rest of the rice merchants immediately responded, saying, "That's right. We don't make money from Lord Hou, so let's sell the rice to Lord Hou at the price of six guan per bucket."

Liang Xin frowned slightly and asked Mi Renliang: "Can't it be cheaper? The price of Liuguan per bucket is indeed too high."

"Master Hou. The villain has a small business. You can't let the villain do a loss-making business, right? Otherwise, the price can't be lowered. The villain will donate five hundred guan of silver to the adult for disaster relief. how?"

Liang Xin looked up at Mi Renliang, and he stopped talking.Just looking at him without saying a word made Mi Ren feel guilty, and in the end he didn't dare to meet Liang Xin's eyes.

Finally, Liang Xin smiled and said, "According to what you all said, six guan silver per bucket. You prepare the food for me, and I will send someone to pick it up at that time. I will pay the deposit to everyone today, but if I take it in two days No food. Humph, you have to return ten times the deposit to me.”

"My lord, you can rest assured, we have food."

The grain merchants promised that while Liang Xin paid the deposit, they asked them to type out a receipt, and stated that if they failed to pay the grain after two days, ten times the deposit would be refunded.

After the meeting was over, all the food left happily.Liang Xin immediately returned to the Yunlai Inn in Qingzhou to convene a meeting with the village owners of the Green Forest League.

When everyone arrived, Liang Xin said with a smile: "Brothers, the opportunity to make a fortune is here..."
