Chapter 295 Fight for the People and Fight for the People!

After returning to Yangzhou, Song Yi found that he had received many more invitations, because he was already a real important figure in Yangzhou at this moment.

In the eyes of businessmen, Song Yi is the mysterious owner behind the game hall, and the latest hot pot restaurant is suddenly popular, so for businessmen, Song Yi is a person worth making friends with.

In the eyes of officials, Song Yi is a flower exploration after the opening of the list in the capital, and the more well-informed people understand that Song Yi is a young man who is appreciated by the Holy, which is enough to make Song Yi the target of Yangzhou officials.

For Song Yi himself, he rejected most of the invitations and put his time on making juice drinks with Xu Chang and accompanying Qingyan.

But it is inevitable that some people can't refuse, such as a local parent official.

In Qingyuexuan, the famous girl Rouchan is swinging her soft waist and dancing gracefully. Lord Zhizhou sits at the same table and watches the graceful style of Jiangnan's small jasper.

Zhizhou adults are not good at drinks, and Jiangnan tea ceremony is popular, so the best tea girl in Qingyuexuan is the best tea on the table.

"Mingzhuan is now settled in Yangzhou, can you get used to everything?"

"Everything is fine. Adults have a heart."

"Hehe... You took Tanhua, which is also a way to win glory for my Yangzhou. Of course, I can't slack off. I heard that the game hall in the city is also your industry..."

"The game hall is indeed my industry. If there is any problem, please say it bluntly..."

"I've seen it, everything is justified, but... Some people have jointly reacted that it is said that there is a private gambling industry in the game hall?

Song Yi frowned and said in awe, "If this matter is true, you can investigate it according to the law. Song Yi will never run a gambling house in private, but if it is not the responsibility of my game hall, I also hope you can observe it clearly!"

"Hehe... Ming seal does not need to be filtered. It's just what those people say. Of course, I won't listen to biased, and I have really checked it. Although the way of the game hall is a little strange, it is true that there is no practice of running a gambling house privately. On the contrary, some people gamble privately through the way of games. You can be a little restrained and can't afford disputes. ..."

"Thank you for your suggestion, Song Yi Province's..."

"This matter is nothing. I heard that you have a close contact with this person?" The lord of Zhizhou asked with a slight smile.

Song Yi replied with a little caution in his heart, "I originally responded to the messenger of Wang Kuanglu Mansion in Bianzhou, and Wang Kuanglu also built a shipyard and a new ship for the imperial court. It is naturally inevitable to deal with the people of the Salt Gang... Is there anything wrong with this?"

"You can think about it by yourself. Don't get too involved with the salt gang... I am also a good word."

"I understand..." Song Yigong answered, but his heart was slightly thinking about what did Lord Zhizhou know?

But after saying these two things, Lord Zhizhou seemed to put his eyes and thoughts on the beating posture of the soft cicada girl, stroked her beard and occasionally nod, and was addicted to it...

"The figure of this soft cicada girl is really soft and boneless. What do you think of this dance?" Lord Zhizhou asked happily.

"It's very Jiangnan style!"

"Haha, it is said that the export of the seal must be a good sentence. Is it so cherished as gold today?" Lord Zhizhou asked with a smile.

Song Yi really couldn't figure out the intention of this Lord Zhizhou, so he had to smile helplessly, "Your Excellency is overreputed. Song Yi is just an ordinary person with a little better luck. How can he export it..."

"She is my niece... What does Mingzhuan think of her appearance? Lord Zhizhou suddenly stared at Song Yi and asked with a smile.

Song Yi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in a daze and said, "It's beautiful... Very beautiful!"

"What do you think of Mingzhuan?" Lord Zhizhou asked seriously.

"Ha?" Song Yi looked stunned, and his heart was even more surprised. What's the trouble?

When Lord Zhizhou saw Song Yi's sweaty head, he immediately laughed, patted the table and said with a smile, "I'm just kidding you. I know that there are two beautiful family members in your family. Although this soft cicada is beautiful, how can it be as Hua Kui... Today's meeting, there is actually something to ask for..."

Song Yi pretended to be sincere and frightened and asked, "How dare Song Yi be? If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly..."

After tasting a sip of tea carefully, Lord Zhizhou lowered his voice and said, "There is one thing I don't understand!" I heard that... Are you collecting food?

Song Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Lord Zhizhou in surprise. He didn't know why he knew this secret thing.

Lord Zhizhou was originally a smart person, and there was no need for Song Yi to answer. Naturally, he understood that he was right, so without waiting for Song Yi to speak, he then lowered his voice and said, "It's not a fault to collect grain, but I want to know why?"

Song Yi thought for a moment, and then replied very cautiously, "Adults also know that now I have more business in the city, and the opening of a hot pot restaurant may inevitably expand, and naturally I need a lot of rice... Of course, I don't need so much. The point is that I myself want to try to open a rice shop in the future..."

"Is that true? Does it have nothing to do with the battle situation in the sixteen states of Yanyun? The adult of Zhizhou asked with full of eyes.

"Of course... There is also a trace of connection, but it shouldn't be too much, right? Song Yi asked cautiously.

Lord Zhizhou suddenly became solemn and said, "I have said that if you ask for something, naturally I don't want to hold you accountable... The war in the sixteen states of Yanyun was too far away from the south of the Yangtze River, and when I noticed it, I found that all the rice grain in many places near Yangzhou had been bought up. Recently, the war has improved slightly... The rice market has become a little complicated! As a parent official in Yangzhou, I naturally don't want to be unfavorable to the people or in the future... So the reason why I'm looking for you is that you are not a businessman in the rice and grain industry. I want to know your thoughts and purposes... Then there will be countermeasures."

"Song Yi admires Song Yi for his kindness to the people, but to be honest, Song Yi has no desire to make huge profits. Adults can rest assured!" Song Yi said sincerely.

"I believe you may not have the desire to make huge profits, but what about other businessmen? I have been in Yangzhou for ten years... It's not a big achievement, but it's not the kind of mediocre person who doesn't care! Therefore, hoarding rice and grain really makes me a little worried..."

"Of course, what adults are worried is reasonable, but at this time, spring ploughing has begun, and it is not far from the autumn harvest. If there is no major change in the war, Yangzhou City naturally does not need to worry!" Song Yi said.

"It's not... The war may not be clear, and I also believe that Zhao will never lose, but Jiangnan is really complicated. Some things are really beyond my ability, so I am worried! For example, the salt gang... For example, in the Chamber of Commerce, there are always some people who can disturb the situation for money..." Lord Zhizhou said with an upright face.

The soft cicada girl on the field is still swaying her delicate figure briskly. The sound of silk bamboo is pleasant to the ear, and the fragrance of tea lingers in the nose, but the righteous image of the adult of Zhizhou makes Song Yi feel unreal. In the unreal, there is a little recognition.

"What do you think Song Yi can do?" Song Yi asked after a moment of meditation.

"There is still free space for grain in the treasury..." Lord Zhizhou said meaningfully.

Song Yi was suddenly shocked and asked cautiously, "What do you mean, adult?"

"Others don't know, but I do. You have received the appointment of the Holy... So what I want you to do is to collect food!" Lord Zhizhou said seriously.

Song Yi looked at Lord Zhizhou with a serious expression and couldn't believe it.

The government does not participate in non-governmental commercial activities, and officials are not allowed to use the government's inventory silver privately. This is a taboo. How can the governor of Yangzhou dare to be so bold?

Although everything sounds so legitimate, Song Yi always feels that this matter seems a little ridiculous. Zhizhou actually wants to ask an unknown businessman to collect food for the government... Is this a common thing?

"Adult... Song Yi did not dare to accept this matter, according to the law... Can't court officials participate in this kind of thing? Song Yi said in embarrassment.

"Of course, I also know that I can't, but I know this matter a little late and neglect the motives of those people... And you don't know that in winter, the imperial court used troops in the sixteen states of Yanyun to collect grain and grass from the south and south of the Yangtze River. At that time, I thought that the war would be solved quickly, so I mobilized most of the rice and grain from the treasury and handed it over to the court... Now there is more than spare space in the treasury, and there is almost nothing left! The official's concern is that if those people don't release food until autumn, the grain prices on the market will not be chaotic because of the war, but they will still be chaotic because of the war... Do you understand the importance of it? Lord Zhizhou said in an awe-inspiringly.

Song Yi realized that he had put his bet on Yue Wu, but it seemed that more businessmen were not short-sighted, but because the purpose of those people was to suppress the situation that the war was difficult to end for a while! Those people... The purpose is to make huge profits!

As the saying goes, war has always been the best time for businessmen to rise...

Seeing the awe of Yangzhou Zhizhou, Song Yi realized that he thought that he would win was just the tip of the iceberg. It seemed that more people were preparing to disrupt the market...

"My lord, the fact of collecting grain is not suitable for the government to intervene. If it is known at that time, there will be endless trouble. If not, I'd better think of another way! After all, it's a big deal, and I have to think about it carefully..." Song Yi said cautiously.

"That's good, but you must reply to me as soon as you can, because there is not much rice in circulation on the market today. If I hadn't paid attention to you, I wouldn't have known that this matter had developed to this point..."

"Adults have bothered. As a citizen of Yangzhou City, Song Yi naturally does not want innocent people to suffer. After I figure out about this matter, I will reply to you as soon as possible!" Song Yi replied respectfully.

"That... Are you really not thinking about the soft cicada? She is really my niece!" Lord Zhizhou suddenly asked with a playful smile.

Song Yi looked at the changeable parents and officials with tears and laughter. In his heart, he couldn't secretly praise the adult's face-changing skills, and he could change the atmosphere in a moment...
