024 profiteer

Ten days later, Jiang Shoufu was indeed released, and in another eight days, the decree to give the archway also arrived. Originally, there were still three doubts and wait-and-see businessmen, but now they are full of suspicion, and all the merchants are jubilant and full of joy.

And what surprised everyone was that the eunuch who came to give the archway was speech after drinking. He actually said that if someone wanted to build a meritorious building in Ningfu, he might be able to get a few more places. As soon as this news came out, how could businessmen not take advantage of the opportunity to insert a needle? Before the eunuch left Ningcheng, at least dozens of people privately stuffed money for him and bribed the construction of the building.

In this way, the eunuch Xuanzhi returned to the palace with a huge amount of money of nearly 400,000 yuan. Qin Zaofeng then allocated these money to Bai Shaoqing. Bai Shaoqing exchanged all these silvers for grain and purchased them in large quantities from the surrounding four states and counties, but did not send them to the disaster victims, but stored them in the warehouses of the county governments.

Yan Lin is very puzzled by her move. Although the refugees in front of him have stabilized after more than a month of appeasement, both the hearts and the mortality rate have stabilized, but when he learned the news that the national teacher is here to help the victims, hundreds of refugees come from all directions every day. But the food they prepared is only enough to last for more than a month. How can this not teach him to be anxious? However, Bai Shaoqing just smiled and did not answer at all. There is nothing he can do.

After more than half a month, he saw that the granary was about to bottom out. Yan Lin turned around in a hurry. Although he knew that it was useless to find Bai Shaoqing, he still ran over. Before he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he saw Lin Fengyin's sedan chair parked outside from afar. This man was also strange. He ran this way for three or two days. He didn't know what to calculate. ,

He was thinking about it, but he suddenly felt that a hand around him was stretched out, and his palms were soft and delicate. He turned his head and saw that it was Bai Shaoqing. He was suddenly scared. He couldn't help running a few steps with her and hurriedly stopped, "National... National Master, what are you doing?"

Bai Shaoqing didn't look at him. He stared at the sedan chair outside the courtyard and hummed softly, "Come on, don't go in through the main door, come with me." After saying that, he turned around and left. Yan Lin had to keep up, but he saw that the white back in front of him was a little sneaky. He circled around the two private houses before going from the back wall into the small courtyard where she lived. He followed her gently to the window. The two poked the cotton paper on the window and looked in. They saw Lin Fengyin standing in front of the desk, holding a piece of paper in his hand. The sleeve robe was shaking, and even his clothes were shaking, as if they had seen something of fear.

Yan Lin frowned and turned her head, but saw Bai Shaoqing reaching out to him. She turned around the main door and walked in generously. She said, "It turned out that the Lin was outside." Lin Fengyin had already put down the paper in her hand when she heard her footsteps. At this time, she stood by the door in a regular manner, but her face was still on her own. The trembling muscles secretly betrayed his secret, which was also an experienced person. Although he had just been frightened, he tried his best to maintain his voice: "These days, the national teacher is really tired. The people are praised and grateful.

Bai Shaoqing went to the front of the case and sat down: "As long as the payment is not in vain, it is also willing to be tired. Is it for the matter of the archway?"

"Yes. Last time, the national teacher said that the disaster victims had not been appeased, and there may be something wrong with the construction. More than a month has passed. The people... specially came to ask when the construction can be started?

"It's time to build it when you go back. By the way, have you hired workers?

"There are some at home. Just ask for some outside."

"Oh, in fact, 70% or 80% of these disaster victims have recovered, and there are a lot of positive labor. The wages they want must be lower than that of ordinary carpenters. Why don't you openly call for workers in the city?"

"Ah, yes, that's what the national teacher said. The people will do it."

"Okay, then go ahead," Lin Fengyin left in a hurry and hurriedly went. Then Yan Lin walked into the room and said, "What did he just look at? Scared like that?"

Bai Shaoqing smiled and said, "That's all." After saying that, Yan Lin held it in his hand and only looked at her for a moment. He looked up at her in horror. Bai Shaoqing's tone was extremely stable and said, "What does Yan Sima think?"

"This... you are really too bold. If someone takes the opportunity to sue the court..."

"In order to let this class of profiteers voluntarily spit out money, my national teacher will naturally take the lead to be a profiteer once."

Yan Lin looked at the things in his hand from beginning to end again and sighed, "As long as you have seen it, you will believe it." With that, he looked at her helplessly and said, "The national teacher's trip is not appropriate. If someone really reveals the news that you have accumulated food and take advantage of the disaster to make profits for themselves... Do you know what the result will be?

"I just want to let them know that my national teacher seems to be sanctimonous, but in fact, I am doing the business of buying low and selling high with the grain merchants in private, and I have to open the grain to the public soon, in order to reduce the grain prices in the hands of the rich businessmen in the city, so that they can't accumulate, and my national teacher will find them to buy them at a low price. The news of grain that can't be sold must be released from Lin Fengyin today. Three days later, these merchants will be in a hurry.

"Where did you ask about these transactions?"

"It's these businessmen who have it. I just stopped them from going to other states and counties and forged some letters."

"So... how do they know that you will release food in three days? Didn't you publicize it?"

"Isn't there another Jiang Shoufu? I'm afraid this man is too busy to run to Lin Fengyin's place now. Naturally, there is no doubt about it.

Yan Lin meditated and was really frightened by her behavior. It seems that this national teacher, with the support of the Qin Emperor, really dares to mess up everything, but if he really says something wrong, it's really can't be said. After all, such a thing, don't say that he has a full plan now, even if he doesn't know anything, if someone If you sue the national teacher like this, you will certainly not believe it.

No wonder Lin Fengyin is so scared. For such a long time, this group of merchants, like the disaster victims, are full of trust and longing for this white-clothed national teacher. The national teacher with such a perfect image can actually do the private storage of grain to ignore the people's court. Compared with the food, this time is even more Lin Fengyin is afraid that he is already a national teacher. With such a big plan, I'm afraid that what they are worried about now should be their lives!

Yan Lin shook his head and sighed. He took a look at Bai Shaoqing, who was buried in the file. He really had mixed feelings.
