Lord of the House: Chapter 139 borrow a knife

Although Lin Xulu can also take the overall situation into consideration and has a deep understanding of the mess that Jiangning City is facing, but Gu Tianqiao caught Zhang Yubo when he disagreed with Zhang Yubo, which made people angry.

When it comes to grain merchants in Jiangning, Gu Tianqiao is not yet ranked first, but Lin Xulu and Jiyun Club, which is directly controlled by Huaidong behind the scenes, are the top grain merchants. However, after Huaidong soldiers and horses entered Jiangning, the staff of Jiyun Club were concentrated, mainly responsible for the supply of military supplies.

Lin Xulu saw that Lin Fu brought the problem to Jiangning's rice price, and said thoughtfully: "Zhang Yubo wants to kill the grain price, but he is not bad at heart, but he is afraid that he will cross the line. , that end is bigger on both sides..."

Lin Bie frowned and said, "That's right, the third one, go to Zhang Yubo's place and ask Zhang Yubo to be merciful..."

Lin Mengde didn't say a word. He was worried that Gu Tianqiao would cut Zhang Yubo, but Lin Fu said that Zhang Yubo would not cut people illegally, and told him not to worry. At this time, he encouraged Lin Xulu to go there.

Lin Xulu didn't know the reason, but when he heard Lin Fu say this, he saw Ling Jian, and after leaving, he went to the government office to find Zhang Yubo's theory.

After Lin Xulu left, Lin Mengde said worriedly: "If Zhang Yubo softened his attitude in front of Xulu, it would not be a good thing..."

"There are so many things to do when you worry about gains and losses. Now that the third child is in his early years, I think your house will be quieter, don't disturb my cleaning here..." Lin Bielian drove Lin Mengde out.

Lin Meng had no choice but to think about it when he got out of the yard, it was hard to feel at ease, but Lin Fu's intention was very clear, he would not be allowed to show up for the time being, and he couldn't sleep when he went back, so he turned to look for Gao Zongting - using Zhang Yubo as Jiangning The governor, Gao Zongting and Song Fu were the first to support. Lin Mengde was not familiar with Song Fu, so he thought that if he could understand this matter, it was Gao Zongting.

"It's strange, Lin Changshi said the same thing as the third master, afraid that the shopkeeper Gu would kill Uncle Zhang, but the master's reply was different." Zuo Lan came over to help Lin Fu undress and waited on him before falling asleep.

When the sisters Zuo Lan and Zuo Yan came to serve, the little girl who was only 14 or 15 years old is now also slim and graceful. Fortunately, Zuo Yan and the Jinxiang clan brought Song Jia into the palace to serve him, leaving the dignified and courteous Zuo Lan to serve by Lin Fu's side.

In the cold night, the charcoal pot was burned in the house, but it was as warm as spring. Zuo Lan was dressed in monotonous clothes, full of places that should be full, and thin in places that should be thin, and her body still had a faint fragrance, Lin Fu was thinking about things, listening to She said this and smiled: "If you think about it again, how can it be different?"

Zuo Lan tilted his head to think hard, then shook his head in resignation and said, "I don't understand..."

"Then let me ask you, should I be complacent today, or should I be like thin ice?"

"Jiangning City is full of Huaidong's soldiers and horses. In Jiangning City, princes, princes, and even the Queen Mother have to look at Huaidong's face. According to logic, the adults are also proud of the spring breeze," Zuo Lan asked, "but there are internal worries. There are still foreign invasions, so we cannot let our guard down…”

"Haha," Lin Bie laughed and said, "It's easy to do it, and it's hard to say it's hard to let go of vigilance, but everyone below thinks that they have won a victory, so they should indulge. I'm pressing **** this side, and I'll complain later. The emperor is too harsh. Sometimes external pressure is necessary to maintain internal cohesion and follow-up. For Zhang Yubo, I am afraid that he will not cause me trouble, and I am afraid that he will cause big trouble—this year It's not that easy to be an adult!"

"That's right," Zuo Lan said softly, "I see adults frowning all day, thinking it's really not easy, if it wasn't for you to lie down and close your eyes, Zuo Lan would rub your head..."

Lin Fu raised his head and glanced at Zuo Lan, but the little girl would seduce people quietly, and she didn't know if she had learned from Song Jia. Lin Fu thought about Song Jia's words, the Zuo sisters and the Jinxiang clan are women of different races, and they can't trust the marriage to the generals below. , pretending to touch her bulging chest unintentionally.

Zuo Lan's body shrank subconsciously, and then she was stunned there, looking at Lin Fu's eyes as if they were hydrated. The relationship between Lin Fu and Song Jia was served by the Zuo sisters, and the affairs of men and women have long been known. , is already ripe honey, peach, only one taste.

Gao Zongting has not yet established his own business in Jiangning City, and his family is still in Chongzhou, occupying a single courtyard in Chenyuan.

Lin Meng had to turn around and look for it. Seeing that there was a lamp in the courtyard, he didn't know what to do, so he rushed in and walked under the porch. Only then did he see Gao Zongting sitting in front of the lamp, holding a scroll and reading, and asked with a smile, "It's so cold. Mr. Gao is really interested in reading at night with the windows closed..."

"I'm always worried that I'm not thinking carefully. Open the doors and windows, and people will be more awake." Gao Zongting put down the scroll, opened the door, and entered Lin Mengde to enter the room. Lord Lin, come here, I will make tea myself, and you all continue to sleep..."

There was hot water on the heating stove, and it was about to boil, and white steam was coming out.

"Brother Meng came to Chen Yuan before dawn, wouldn't it be because he had a leisurely interest to ask me to talk about the book?" Gao Zongting asked.

"Zhang Yubo detained Gu Tianqiao, Zong Ting really doesn't know?" Lin Mengde asked.

"Of course I don't know what happened in the middle of the night," Gao Zongting joked and asked again, "What did your lord say?"

"My lord asked Xu Lu to go to Zhang Yubo's side to intercede, but he stopped me." Lin Mengde said.

Gao Zongting frowned and said, "Your lord is also embarrassed! In the first two days of entering the city, everyone in the city was saying that you, Lin Mengde, should be the governor of Jiangning..."

"It really doesn't matter if I'm the governor of Jiangning, but at this time, I'm even more grateful that I didn't climb onto the fire stand and suffer the flames!" Lin Mengde said with a wry smile, "It's far from the right time to say that you will be rewarded by officials. But not everyone has enough patience."

Lin Mengde was a sensible person, and it was some time before the dawn of time when Gao Zongting told him in detail: "The materials controlled by the military commander must first ensure military supplies, and it is impossible to directly transfer a large number of rice grains into Jiangning City to save the city; in addition to the necessary relief food , the food for more than one million people in Jiangning City mainly depends on grain merchants to solve..."

"...The four major rice markets in Jiangning, and Hekou Town, which is dominated by the Dongyang Township Party, retained its strength during the war and suffered no major losses. Today, almost all of the rice markets in Jiangning are controlled by the Dongyang Township Party—one The party who came to Dongyang Township did not suffer any major losses, and held a large amount of grain reserves and enough money to purchase surplus grain from the private sector. Second, the prefectures and counties near Jiangning, and Dongyangfu on the north bank was the least affected by the war over the years. The private surplus is relatively sufficient, which is why others cannot interfere..."

"Over the years, the rise of Huaidong is inseparable from the behind-the-scenes support of the Dongyang Township Party. During the Ninglu battle, Gu Bingbu also turned his face and left, but most of the Dongyang Township Party still chose to stand on the side of Huaidong and Qingzhou. After the defeat, the enmity and enmity of the past became clouds, and the Dongyang family was even more indistinguishable from each other. Huaidong won today's victory, and the gentry and merchants of the Dongyang family celebrated with their crowns. , there are only two things to ask for next, one is to get promoted, and the other is to get rich. You should have a deep understanding of the dream..."

"..." Lin Meng smiled bitterly and said, "If I knew earlier, I would live in Chen Yuan with you guys, and I could still be quiet, but the threshold was almost broken..."

"Now that Huaidong soldiers and horses control Jiangning City, you and I can still stay awake, knowing that there is still a situation of internal and external troubles, and you can't relax your vigilance, but the people below may not be able to look so far..." Gao Zongting said.

Lin Mengde had to smile again and again, and when he entered Jiangning City, he felt a sense of pride in the spring breeze, but not everything was comforting.

To be an official for thousands of miles in order to seek money, the reality has formed a situation in which the Dongyang Township Party monopolizes the rice market in Jiangning, and the food supply is indeed very tight. In the current situation of Jiangning, if you have food in your hand, you can make ten or twenty times the profit. How many people can reach out and not be greedy for the huge wealth that is delivered to your door? Even if there is no Huaidong behind him, there is no grain merchant who can hold back his temper and not raise prices.

This situation is not under control. In a short period of time, it seems that the wealth in the hands of the Dongyang Township Party will increase rapidly, and even the Huaidong Military Division can extract a large amount of gold and silver from it, but it is essentially a great harm.

The essence of gold and silver is rooted in one of the circulation of commodities. Materials are in short supply and prices are rising. On the other hand, it is the process of rapid devaluation of gold and silver. Jiangning is not isolated. As prefectures and counties spread, cities and towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and urban households who work in weaving and dyeing workshops will be the first to fall into trouble, and large-scale famine will break out and the enemy will be moved.

The situation in the heart of Jianghuai is turbulent, how can we defend against foreign aggression?

For Huaidong, who is improving the coin-raising system, maintaining the stability of the situation and resuming production are the core interests.

Lin Mengde, who is known as the God of Wealth in Huaidong by outsiders who master Huaidong's finances behind the scenes, understands these principles better than anyone else.

Jiangning's food price must be suppressed as soon as possible, but Jiangning will face a serious shortage of food in the next three to five months, even before the next autumn harvest~www.mtlnovel.com~ In addition to the government's forcible suppression of food prices, and There is no other magic trick to lower food prices.

Food is grown from the ground, there is no way to make it out of thin air.

However, if Huaidong directly came forward to suppress food prices, and it was strictly forbidden for Dongyang Township to make profits from it, there would be a possibility of a rebound within the Dongyang Township Party. The internal differentiation between Huaidong and Dongyang will only have emptiness for the Empress Dowager Liang and others to take advantage of, so they can only use Zhang Yubo's hand to suppress the price of food in Jiangning.

When Lin Fu entered the city, Zhang Yubo was an old man, but he avoided seeing him, which caused the people in Huaidong to complain.

Lin Fu visited Zhang's house at night, and mentioned that Zhang Yubo had the right to know the governor of Jiangning, but others would only say that Lin Fu was generous and generous.

At this time, Zhang Yubo used Gu Tianqiao from the Dongyang Department to suppress Jiangning's food prices. Others would only complain that Zhang Yubo was ungrateful, and their anger was concentrated on Zhang Yubo's head.

"The price of food is only one of them," Gao Zongting said. "In the future, it is inevitable that some people will relax their requirements and do something to bully men and women. At that time, they may really kill them. With a killing ethos, adults don't let Mengde be the governor of Jiangning, because they don't want to put you on the fire to bake..."

"Hey, people don't have far-sighted thoughts, and there must be near-term worries. Using Zhang Yubo, a man who dared to pluck the hair of a tiger in Huaidong, as the governor of Jiangning, the benefits are much more than imagined," Lin Mengde smiled lightly, a little bit. It makes sense, but I can understand it, but after Gao Zongting said this, some things were completely put down, and he said, "It seems that after the past, the people will not be able to be fished out."

"If you don't spit out some blood, how could people not be able to fish it out? Zhang Yubo is not a jerk," Gao Zongting said with a smile, "Let them stay in a stalemate for two days first, and the city will be full of trouble, and then the adults will probably ask you to serve it. Soft, help with bloodletting..." My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
