Wake up and become a son-in-law

Wu Chengsi smiled and said, "My dear, you are being humble. Since there is not much, then there is a way. If even you can't do anything, Fengxian doesn't know who can do it..."

Lan Yuheng wiped the fishing rod in the snow, polished his palms and said nothing. Wu Chengsi was not in a hurry. Wu Landuo and others gathered around the fire. The former said lightly, "Why did the imperial court send him here?" ?Shouldn’t it be Di Renjie?”

"Sister Xiao'e, come and eat fish. I just grilled it and it's delicious." | Qian Youyou handed the grilled fish to Xiao'e. Xiao'e smiled and said thank you, and then handed another one to Ye Ying. "Since it's a pie, Wu Chengsi must be reasonable, but Wu Chengsi is still a figure, and it is estimated that others will come back without success..."

"Actually, Wu Sansi seems to be getting closer to her husband," Leng Siniang said in a low voice.

Qian Youyou shook his head, "Wu Sansi is far worse than Wu Chengsi. Although Wu Chengsi is very humble to brother Yuheng, such a person is very deep... he can't express his emotions and emotions, and he knows how to watch his words and hide his edge. Compared to those like Junchen, they are much better..."

"Then...he won't do anything to the prodigal, right?" Wulanduo asked worriedly

Qian Youyou shook his head, "He is very smart. If he really wanted to attack Brother Yuheng, he would have done it long ago. Speaking of what happened last time, he still owed him a favor... In fact, Wu Chengsi knew how to judge the situation. At that time, he Why did he let Sister Yu'er in? If he hadn't let Sister Yu'er in, there might have been another scene..."

While a few people were talking in low voices, there was suddenly the sound of falling into the water. Wu Chengsi was seen completely in the cold lake. Ye Ying and others hurriedly got up. It was Wu Chengsi who was holding a fishing rod in his hand and trying hard. Pull it up, and soon a big fish will appear in everyone's sight

"Hehe... This fish is quite big. My uncle is very lucky!" Wu Chengsi grabbed the flapping fish. The fish's body was extremely huge, and its scales were dark black. It looked like it had at least some Ten pounds!

Lan Yuheng weighs ten pounds! He was quite happy inside and didn't care at all about Wu Chengsi's situation. "Thanks for the hard work of the left prime minister."

Although Wu Chengsi's face turned pale from the cold, he still smiled and said, "Feng Xian has never caught such a big fish in such a long time. My uncle is indeed a very lucky person! It is a great honor to be able to catch a fish for my uncle." "

Lan Yuheng smiled faintly, "Is Prime Minister Zuo okay? Do you want my wife to get you some clothes?"

"No, no, it's just that the boots are a little wet." Wu Chengsi shook his head hurriedly. He rubbed his hands and said, "I would like to ask my uncle to give me some advice..." Obviously, business matters were more important to him now...

Lan Yuheng smiled and said, "Actually... this matter is very simple, it just depends on how the left prime minister makes his choice..."

Wu Chengsi cupped his hands and said, "Please let me know..."

"The famine in the Tang Dynasty is very serious now. People in many places have almost no food to eat. It is almost difficult to obtain food through conventional means... But we can think of other ways, such as..." Lan Yu Heng was a little bit hesitant to speak.

Wu Chengsi showed a wry smile, "You can just say so. If I can do it first, I will definitely do it."

"Okay... My method is just a reference. How do you see it for yourself?" Lan Yuheng said with a smile, "Although people in many places in the Tang Dynasty are short of food, these wealthy businessmen are extremely rich..."

Wu Chengsi was a little puzzled, "Do you mean..." Wu Chengsi didn't say anything, but the meaning was already obvious. If it was a house raid, there must be a legitimate reason... Secondly, it can't be like last time. Likewise, when there is a shortage of food, why don't you accuse people of unfounded crimes?

Lan Yuheng waved his hand, "Of course not. I wonder what the left prime minister's prestige is in the court?"

Wu Chengsi had an incomprehensible expression on his face, "What do you mean by this? I don't have much say in the court..." Of course Wu Chengsi must be being humble, he is the nephew of the current emperor. , naturally have more say than ordinary people

"What about the prestige of Mr. Zuo Xiang among the people?" Lan Yuheng asked with a smile.

Wu Chengsi smiled unnaturally, "Of course it's not as good as the emperor and my uncle..."

Lan Yuheng ignored Wu Chengsi's quiet flattery, "Then... the Left Prime Minister still has some weight. Since he has weight, the Left Prime Minister should have connections with many wealthy households, right?"

"Please make it clear! Fengxian is ignorant." Wu Chengsi really didn't understand what Lan Yuheng meant.

"Yes or no?" Lan Yuheng asked with a smile.

"Yes." Wu Chengsi admitted it generously. How many of these officials didn't know Hu Hao, just more or less?

Lan Yuheng nodded, "That's easy to handle. Mr. Zuo Xiang, you just need to investigate which family has the most expensive food... which family has the most food... you can go to him to get it..."

"Take it? Then...how is this different from a robber?" Wu Chengsi looked embarrassed.

"Master Zuo Xiang, what you said is wrong. This is not called taking... it is called borrowing!" Lan Yuheng shook his head in denial.

"Do you want me to borrow it?" Wu Chengsi seemed to be deep in thought. Lan Yuheng continued, "That's right. You can first ask the big family you met to lend you food. It's just a lot more. You can use the excuse of a border emergency. Three years. Set up an IOU for the first phase... Just pay it back with interest after three years. You can then use this IOU to borrow food from famous wealthy businessmen. As for how much you borrow... it all depends on your face value, Mr. Zuo Xiang. How much is it..."

Wu Chengsi's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea. He used the pressure of the court to ask them to borrow food. Do they dare not to borrow it? If you don't borrow it, you will offend the prime minister of the dynasty, and even more so the imperial court. If you borrow it... you will definitely not dare to raise the price. By then the crisis will be resolved, and three years later...

"But in three years, this money..." Wu Chengsi had a headache when he thought that he would have to pay it back with interest in three years...

"You can ask your mother-in-law. You borrowed this money from the court, and it's not for you personally. What's there to worry about? Who knows what will happen in three years? At worst, just write an IOU. These Rich merchants have made enough money from the country's financial crisis? Now it's just to let them spit out the money. They will definitely have to pay it back later, but it can be measured in food. If it goes through, the food may not be valuable in the future. The so-called "take from the people and use it for the people", if the Tang Dynasty lost its people, it would be waiting for the country to perish!"

Lan Yuheng said very decisively. Anyway, I have told you everything thoroughly. Whether he does it or not is all his own business. Wu Chengsi couldn't help but sigh, "My uncle is more ruthless than the robbers in the mountains in killing the rich and helping the poor." There are so many... Fengxian is ashamed of himself.”

"I'm not a robber. Robbers will not pay back what they borrowed, and they will also cause death. We are saving people, and this food will definitely be returned in the future. It's not like we won't return it to them," Lan Yuheng said calmly.

Wu Chengsi nodded, and now a new question came up, "Although I know a lot of household tycoons, they don't have much influence. I wonder who I think is more suitable?" There must be someone who takes the lead, and there must be someone who takes the lead. Is it more powerful?

Lan Yuheng was silent for a while, "I think you can ask the Qian family..."

Wu Chengsi looked shocked, "This...isn't this good? After all, he is your father-in-law..."

Lan Yuheng said lightly, "Since you asked like this, is there any better candidate?"

Wu Chengsi smiled awkwardly, "Then... Fengxian will take care of it now. Thank you very much, uncle..."

Lan Yuheng waved his hand, "Okay, it's up to you what to do. I won't let you eat here."

"Thank you, uncle!" Wu Chengsi saluted solemnly

"Qing Yi, let's go back to eat." Lan Yuheng shouted. Ye Ying and Leng Siniang hurriedly patted the snow on their bodies and came over to support Lan Yuheng. Lan Yuheng seemed to think of it again halfway through. What "By the way, bring that fish with you and make fish head soup tonight"

"Okay, uncle!" Xiao'e hurriedly picked up a fish that seemed bigger than her, and followed it in three steps...

"What?" Li Shiqi looked in disbelief after listening to Lan Yuheng's method. Shangguan Wan'er and Mu Yu'er also looked at Lan Yuheng with strange eyes. Isn't this trick too successful? ?

"Yuheng...are you like this...too much? Aren't you dragging the Qian family into trouble...How can a sister like you explain to her father?" Li Shiqi originally wanted to say it was wrong, but she couldn't. If you say it now, it will throw water out. How is it possible to take it back?

"Yes, Yuheng... You are like this... Youyou will definitely be scolded when the time comes. Saving people and disaster relief is a good thing, but it also depends on the situation... After all, you are the son-in-law of the Qian family..." Mu Yu'er He also reluctantly agreed.

Lan Yuheng scratched his head, "There's nothing we can do about it. There has to be a leader, right? After everyone has paid, the Qian family won't pay... Can this convince the public? Only the Qian family has handed over the food, and the rest Only those who obey will obediently hand over the food and grass, do you understand?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, "My husband is right. If a big family like the Qian family can't provide food, don't count on the small families. Therefore, we must let a large and prestigious family provide food first, and the Qian family is undoubtedly the best choice." , and although the Qian family would feel reluctant if the money came out, other big families would still pay their share, so the Qian family wouldn't lose too much, not to mention that the Qian family would definitely not default on their arrears if their husband-in-law is here. It’s just about the price... that’s another story.”

It is normal for money to depreciate and increase in value, but this food is different. Although it is a necessity for people, once food and clothing are solved, the price of food will go down, so they will lose money no matter how you calculate it, but just like Sapphire As Heng said, they have made a lot of money from the national crisis anyway, and now it’s time to spit out some.

Li Shiqi and Mu Yu'er pursed their lips and stopped talking. They just glanced at Leng Siniang and Ye Ying. Both of them looked embarrassed... At that time, they were all busy chatting and did not listen to Lan Yuheng and Wu What did Chengsi talk about? Now he is probably complaining about it from his two sisters...
