The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

Hearing that some of them were indeed refugees, Xie Jingan's expression froze slightly, then his brows became more and more tightly frowned, and he began to think carefully.

He didn't feel uncomfortable buying them as slaves because he took advantage of the disaster, but thought about what he could do in this disaster. Of course, it would be better to take the opportunity to develop the fief. Population, he is now completely fed up with the small population, and the speed of encouraging births to expand the population is too slow, or finding ways to attract population migration from outside is the fastest.

Of course, he would not tell Mr. Chen about this idea, he just told Mr. Chen to be as careful as possible when transporting these refugees, not to attract the attention of others, and when things are done, it will naturally benefit him.

Old Mrs. Chen was willing to take the risk to help this favor in order to increase his weight in Xie Jingan's heart and gain some benefits. Now that he heard what he had been looking forward to, he was naturally overjoyed, and even the expression on his face became much happier. He agreed : "Your Highness, don't worry, although I don't have much ability, I can still do such small things, and I will definitely not cause trouble for Your Highness."

Xie Jing'an exchanged pleasantries with him for a while, and then he was sent out, and then he was summoned to be in charge of the intelligence organization.

This person is exactly the one that Jiang Zheng strongly recommended at the beginning. He is young, but has a calm temperament, which is different from Lin Yan's naturally stable temperament. , who grew up ahead of schedule, if not for his immature appearance, just with those eyes that seem to be calm most of the time, one would think that he is a middle-aged man who has seen through the world.

This person's surname is Tao, and the single name is "Autumn". According to him, his mother gave birth to him in autumn, which is the harvest season, and life at home will be easier, so he gave him this name with hope.

Due to malnutrition these years, Tao Qiu is not very tall, and his appearance is relatively ordinary. Coupled with a pair of lifeless eyes, he is even less noticeable, but this is in line with his intelligence organization temperament.

As soon as Tao Qiu entered the study and saluted, he stood quietly aside, waiting for Xie Jingan to ask questions.

Xie Jingan has always been straightforward, and even though this person is still under observation, he will be one of his confidantes in the future, so he didn't say anything, and asked straightforwardly: "What happened to what this king asked you to do?" ?”

Tao Qiu remained calm, and said slowly: "Currently, there are 32 people who have joined in and can do errands for His Highness, nine of whom are servants in the merchants' mansions of various families, 17 of them are in teahouses, restaurants, brothels and other places, and others There are beggars, peddlers, coachmen, a total of six people, all willing to be driven by His Highness."

Hearing that there were only 32 people, Xie Jingan was a little disappointed, shook his head and said: "Not enough, the number is too small, with these people alone, I can't even get the news of Mozhou, let alone other places, according to this king Look, I'm afraid you misunderstood what this king means."

Tao Qiu looked solemn, cupped his hands and said, "Please show me, Your Highness."

Xie Jing'an said: "There are so many people in the world, with different thoughts and dispositions, it is impossible for all of them to be loyal to this king, and this king does not want them to be too loyal, and it is even better that this king is the master behind the scenes. Don't know, just pick out some important news about what they saw and heard on a daily basis. Money is moving people's hearts. It is a good way to motivate people with money at the beginning, but this method is a double-edged sword. It depends on how you grasp it. The top priority is to make it work as soon as possible, I don’t want to hear any important news from other people’s mouths instead of yours.”

When Xie Jingan said so far, Tao Qiu vaguely understood what he meant. He finally got this opportunity to change his fate, so he naturally had to grasp it carefully. After thinking for a while, he immediately agreed, and solemnly said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, subordinate I understand, and I will prepare according to His Highness's wishes immediately after returning."

He talked about reassuring Xie Jingan, but Xie Jingan was really worried, but he couldn't do everything himself, so he had to forcefully suppress the worries in his heart and trust him, nodded and said: "Now that you understand, let's go and make arrangements. There are a lot of people here, and it is easy to cause trouble, maybe there are some people who fish in troubled waters, when you arrange them, let them pay more attention to the movements in the city, especially those who come from Chang'an, they should pay special attention."

Tao Qiu agreed again, Xie Jingan thought for a while and saw that there was nothing special to tell him, so he waved his hand to signal him to go to work.

As soon as Tao Qiu left, Lin Yan, who was waiting outside, immediately walked in. He looked thoughtfully at the back of Tao Qiu who was walking away quickly, then turned around and closed the door, sat down after paying a salute, and said, "Are you Are you worried about the safety of the city?"

Xie Jing'an nodded and said: "As perfumes, soaps and other items are sold all over the country, our Mozhou has become more and more famous. There is an endless stream of merchants and families who come every day, and there are also people who come to look for errands. Mozhou is a small city, and soldiers There are not many generals, so there are so many people coming suddenly, I am afraid that there will be some troubles, let alone those who want to fish in troubled waters, if someone takes the opportunity to make trouble and kill one or two merchants from the south, that will be a happy event It's going to be a disaster."

Lin Yan has been busy with this matter these days. He led a team to patrol around the city almost every day before dawn. Even the child soldiers were taken out of the new barracks by him to go to some complicated teahouses and restaurants with many people. Although the inspection was a bit hard, luckily nothing went wrong.

Lin Yan said in relief: "Although the city of Mozhou is not big and there are not many generals, they are all extremely loyal to you. Even the people in the city respect you very much. If something really happens, it will not be handled like Chang'an It is very easy to wait for a big city, but it is not difficult, but you are right, you should be on guard. Later, I will talk to the guards and the recruits, let them be more careful and pay more attention The movement of those family merchants in the city."

This is the only way to go. Benefits and risks coexist. Since he wants to develop the fiefdom, there will inevitably be various hidden dangers. Now that he is still under control, it is considered excellent, and Lin Yan has contributed a lot.

Xie Jing'an looked at Lin Yan and felt more and more like a high-level soft light. It was perfect and had no flaws. He felt itchy in his heart. He couldn't help but sit closer to him, grabbed his hand and said with emotion: "It's been a hard time. You, without you, Mozhou City would definitely not be what it is now, I can't say that I'm still entangled with those aristocratic families."

Lin Yan also showed a slight smile, held Xie Jingan's hand instead, shook his head and said, "I'm just an ordinary general. I have no other use except for my higher martial arts skills, and I can't help you too much. You still have a good heart." Gully is the only way to govern Mozhou like this."

Lin Yan's words were serious and obviously not modest. Xie Jingan disagreed and said, "I know what you are capable of, so don't belittle yourself. Don't say anything else. It's just that you went out to suppress bandits a few times, I trained recruits and helped me with the case of the Liu family, which is a few great achievements, I intend to reward you, but unfortunately the time is not yet, so I can only wrong you first."

Hearing Xie Jingan's words about his grievances, Lin Yan's heart moved for some reason, and he blurted out: "You have already given me the greatest reward, so why are you talking about the grievances?"

Xie Jingan was startled when he heard this, and had some inexplicable memories of when he gave him the reward, but the next moment, he realized it and was shocked. He always thought that Lin Yan was a taciturn person who was not good at talking. It was also him who teased Lin Yan a lot, who would have thought that he would actually start talking about love to him at this moment.

Although Lin Yan's eyes were not affectionate, and even a little embarrassed, Xie Jingan could still hear his heart beating non-stop. Looking at Lin Yan, he felt that the more he looked, the better he looked. At the same time, the right hand held by him began to feel as if he had touched it. It became hot like a flame, and this hotness spread all the way to his heart, making his mouth dry and his eyes brighter and brighter. Just when he gradually pressed his head over and wanted to do something, he heard Lin Yan suddenly said in dismay: "When I came in, I met Mrs. Chen at the gate of the palace. You summoned him today, but you have some clues about the errand you asked him to do?"

Being interrupted by Lin Yan, Xie Jingan's expression froze, and he lost all thoughts immediately. He thought angrily in his heart, but he really couldn't praise him, so he thought that he was quite interesting, and then he made such a move, thanks to him I didn't kiss, or I would have died of embarrassment.

Xie Jingan beeped softly in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at Lin Yan with a bit of resentment. After sitting back again, after a while, he said with some disinterest: "Yes, I asked him to go south to help me Buying people, things went smoothly. It took almost no effort to buy more than 5000 people, and because Daizhou and other places were also affected by the disaster, they became refugees. Sending these 5000 people to Mozhou was much easier than imagined, but The journey is long, and it will take some time for all these people to reach Mozhou."

Xie Jingan briefly recounted what Old Master Chen had told him, then paused as if he had thought of something, and then hesitantly said after a while: "From what Old Master Chen said, it seems that there are many prefectures and counties affected by the disaster this time, and the refugees There are also a lot, and I have started to go south. I am thinking, since I am a vassal king, if I can do something within my ability, I can not only save the lives of those people, but also expand the population of the fief. how about?"

Xie Jing'an has been worrying about the scarcity of the population these days, Lin Yan naturally knows it well, now that he heard his proposal, he couldn't help but frown and thought for a moment, but still shook his head and said: "If this matter is done, we can Improving your prestige can also help the people and expand the population of the fief. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone, but although the idea is good, it is difficult to realize it. Let alone whether you can spare people to do this errand, it is just to relieve the refugees Grain is a huge number. Now it is winter and spring is coming. There is not much grain left, and it is far away from the autumn harvest. Even though there is still a lot of grain in the granary, there is still a lot of food consumed every day. .”

If it was anything else, Xie Jingan was still worried, but when he heard that it was about the problem of food, his expression immediately relaxed, and he said: "There are a lot of refugees, so if you want to help them, you will naturally need a lot of food, but I don't have anything else. There is still some money, if it is really not enough, just buy some elsewhere, or find some big grain merchants and some prescriptions to exchange for some. I remember that the Yao family seems to have a shop selling grain, although he is not a big grain merchant , but there must be food in reserve, as long as I discuss it with him, I think he will not refuse."

Lin Yan originally had some pros and cons to analyze, but before he finished listening, he choked on these words, and after a while he laughed and said: "I forgot, besides being able to manage fiefdoms, you are also good at making money, even with those cunning and treacherous The merchants of the aristocratic family will not suffer from doing business, since you have a plan in mind, you can do it directly, but you still need to discuss the regulations carefully."

This is natural, as soon as Lin Yan agreed, Xie Jing'an's spirits immediately perked up, he didn't even feel like having lunch, so he immediately called Cui Tong and told him to rush to invite Liu Zhubo.

As Mozhou became more and more lively, Mr. Liu had more and more things to be busy with. He used to come to the palace to report to him every day, but now unless he can't make up his mind about something important, he can't make up his mind in three to five days. People who can't see him.

Taking advantage of Liu Zhubo not coming yet, Xie Jingan appeared to be in a daze on the surface, but actually opened Taobao in his mind and started to solve the food problem.

It is also thanks to him that he turned Taobao upside down last time when he had nothing to do, and found the upgrade function. Although he racked his brains to upgrade to the second level, he finally upgraded to the first level and solved the problem of not being able to talk to the merchants. limit.

When it comes to the upgrading process, Xie Jingan really finds it difficult to describe it in words, but fortunately, although the process is a bit tortuous and long, the final result is good. Now he has sold many more expensive solid wood tables and chairs in his shop, and also sold He bought some medicinal materials that have been prepared for some years but are not too outrageous. Although he didn't make many deals, he was upgraded to a level, allowing him to talk to merchants and designate a delivery location.

Quickly recalling the sad process of his own upgrade, Xie Jingan quickly put it to the back of his mind, and quickly bought food on Taobao.

Because the amount of grain to be used this time was huge, Xie Jingan was afraid that something would happen if he bought it later, so he simply bought a lot more at once, and bought dozens of tons. If the granary was not big enough, Xie Jingan wished he could buy more. However, if this is the case, it can cope with the disaster relief for the time being. As for it is not enough, then we can only go out to buy, or exchange some with the family merchants.

After all, grain husking and planting techniques are still relatively backward in this era. Naturally, the grain bought from Taobao is very different from here.

After adding it to the shopping cart, I discussed with the merchant that the packaging should be changed to sacks, without the place of manufacture and the date of production. After a while, the merchant agreed to pay a part of the packaging fee.

After changing the address, submitting the order and paying, Xie Jingan completed it in one go, and almost finished it, Liu Zhubo came.

I don't know where he came back from, he was quite travel-laden, maybe he was jogging all the way, and he was still a little out of breath, Xie Jingan excused him and let him sit on the chair and rest for a while before going straight to the topic and talking about himself. speak out your plan.

Sure enough, as Xie Jingan expected, Liu Zhubo was overjoyed after listening to it, then thought for a moment, and then he was a little embarrassed and said roughly the same thing as Lin Yan.

Regarding this, Xie Jingan waved his hand, and instead of persuading him or saying a solution, he said sternly: "Just now General Lin and Liu Zhubo raised the same question, since you are both worried about the lack of food, let's just go and see See how much grain is left in the granary, if there is really no surplus, then I will think of another way."

Now all affairs in Mozhou are presided over by Liu Zhubo. As for how much grain is in the granary, he is naturally very clear. He wants to persuade Xie Jingan and see how much surplus grain there is, so there is no need to be so troublesome. The account book was presented, and everything could be seen clearly, but the words came to his lips, seeing Xie Jingan's excited look, Liu Zhubo couldn't say these words, and Lin Yan didn't say anything. He was stunned for a while, and agreed.

The location of the granary is not close to the palace, but it is not too far. The group of people rode horses and arrived in less than half an hour. Unlike Xie Jingan's rather happy expression, Liu Zhubo's expression was extremely serious and a little distressed. I was thinking about how to comfort King Shun when he saw that there was not much grain left in the granary, and what advice should he give when he was very disappointed.

Thinking hard along the way, Liu Zhubo finally came up with an excuse and a solution before reaching the granary. After deliberating for a while, seeing that there was nothing wrong, he stood quietly behind Xie Jingan, only waiting for the granary to be opened. He could say that.

Unexpectedly, as several granaries were opened one by one, Xie Jing'an was not disappointed, but Liu Zhubo opened his mouth wide in shock, his eyes almost popped out, and he found his voice after a while, and said in disbelief, "This... …There is so much grain, I remember that although there are still some in the granary, it is not much, I brought people to check it a few days ago, and it is true that there is not so much.”

Master Liu Bo was puzzled, his face lost his usual shrewdness, and he was rather dazed. Xie Jingan couldn't help feeling guilty when he saw it, but the guilt came from guilt. He couldn't tell the truth, after all, the truth was too unbelievable. , for the development of the fiefdom, let Master Liu take the blame for it.

Thinking of this in his heart, Xie Jing'an said: "Didn't you tell me that there is not much grain in stock, but I see a lot of it, this granary must be tens of feet high, it is all piled up, sir There must be tens of thousands of stones."

With Liu Zhubo's confused expression on his face, Xie Jing'an ordered the granaries to be opened one by one. Except for the two granaries which were not full of grain, the others were full.

Not to mention Liu Zhubo, even Lin Yan was very surprised, but he was not in charge of the food matter, he just thought that some other aristocratic family had done business with Xie Jingan recently, he was surprised for a moment and then his expression remained normal.

But Liu Zhubo didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Xie Jingan was afraid that he would be so stimulated that something might go wrong, so he hurriedly enlightened him and said, "Isn't it a good thing to have more food? Maybe it's because you've been too busy these days, and Which aristocratic family has not had time to tell you the money for the grain delivered as goods, so you don’t know, after all, there is more grain, not less, so don’t get entangled in it.”

That's what he said, but Liu Zhubo couldn't care less for a moment, Xie Jingan saw that his expression was still a little dazed, so he had no choice but to stop persuading him, but took him back to the palace, and together with Lin Yan, they had lunch and Discuss the disaster relief.

Xie Jing'an's fief was extremely lively, and Chang'an City was also in chaos. The Great Zhou Dynasty, which had been stable for more than ten years, never expected that there would be a day when Jahee would make another big move southward.

The ministers in the Ren Dynasty and Emperor Kang Ping no longer paid attention to it. For the sake of their own lives, they began to open the morning court again and again, and discussed countless times in private. Should this battle be fought? , how to fight this battle.

I haven't paid much attention to the news of the border for more than ten years, and suddenly jumped out like this. The ministers in the court and Emperor Kangping are really in a state of distress. According to their thinking, the Great Zhou Dynasty has not experienced wars for more than ten years. It is best not to fight this battle. Don't fight, it's just that the attack is fierce. Everyone knows that it is impossible for the attack to retreat without paying a big price.

Now that the war has not yet started, many people who are greedy for life and fear of death tried their best to talk about peace, and even mentioned marriage, which brought panic to the harem.

The entire city of Chang'an was in a tense atmosphere, but Qi Wang and Tai Wang were uncharacteristically calm, as if the big event of Jaw Ho's massive southward movement hadn't happened, what to do or what to do, the only difference was that Qi Wang went out The habit of hunting stopped, and instead started to help Miss Yang find her family.

On this day, the two brothers got together as usual, because there was no news about finding a relative for Miss Yang, Qi Wang was a little absent-minded, and after entering the flower hall, he sat down on the chair listlessly, staring out the window, maybe thinking, Still in a trance.

King Tai seemed to be getting fatter compared to the previous days. He first ate two cups of tea and a few pieces of cakes that were not too sweet, then he turned his attention to King Qi and asked lightly: "What? Didn't help Miss Yang find relatives. Didn't she say that she remembered that she was from Chang'an? Her father was an official. Although there were many officials surnamed Yang in Chang'an city, there were not too many. After so many days of searching , even if you come to ask one by one, there should be a result."

Qi Wang regained his senses and said: "That's what I said, but it's strange. After working for so many days, I still don't have any clues. I have checked almost all the people with the surname Yang in the entire Chang'an city. I thought, is it right?" After Miss Yang was abducted by the Liu family, her family was transferred out of Chang'an, if this is the case, then it is really a needle in a haystack."

"That's not necessarily the case." King Tai shook his head and said, "Isn't it true that the surname Yang in Chang'an City has not been checked yet? I remember that the prince's teacher has a surname Yang, but I don't know if the family has ever lost a daughter. You Did you send someone over to inquire?"

"That's not true," Qi Wang was stunned for a moment, and said: "There are only three sons in Grand Master Yang's family, and I have never heard that he had a daughter, but you are right to remind, as long as the surname is Yang, it may not be possible." , You have to ask again to know if it is true.”

Said that King Qi was going to call someone to order, King Tai saw his anxious appearance, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, laughed and said: "If you don't know, you think the third brother is your real brother. You refused to ask you to do me a favor, and the third brother is just a few guards begging you once, you will help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, it really makes me, a real brother, very sad."

King Tai said chilling words, but there was a slight smile in his eyes, obviously he was just joking with him, King Qi naturally saw it, and he was not in a hurry when he heard the words, he said slowly: "Who is the third brother's vassal? And you are still in Chang'an, eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and you can't play with me at all. Naturally, I don't like to help you, but then again, my favor is not for third brother Bai, not now. Is there going to be a war at the frontier gate? I wonder if I can ask my third brother, even if I am not allowed to go to the battlefield, as long as I go to the frontier gate once, my wish for so many years has been fulfilled. "

King Tai was eating snacks and drinking tea leisurely, when he heard King Qi's words, he coughed out loud, stopped after a long while, looked at him in disbelief and said: "You are crazy, others can't wait to leave the border Even further away, you have to get closer to the front, let alone you go to the border, even the third brother will be called back, this time it is not like a small group of people rushing to the border in the past, but a large army, even if there are General Song is guarding the border, and this time the border is also very dangerous, I think you should give up this idea as soon as possible, so as not to lose your life."

Qi Wang worried: "Are the chances of winning the frontier this time so low? More than ten years ago, General Song was able to take back the three prefectures of Tanjiping and Pingping from the hands of Jai Heo. This time, if you have the city to hold on, will you still lose? Three There are still a lot of people in my fief."

King Tai sighed: "I don't know what you know. It's just that the Zhou Dynasty has been stable for more than ten years. The courtiers and father have lost the vigor of more than ten years ago. Could it be that you didn't listen?" Are you talking about the rumors of peace talks in the city? In my opinion, they may not be rumors, but the rumors released by the ministers of the court, and they want to use this to force the father to talk about peace and get married."
