The fertile water of farming does not flow to outsiders' fields

Xue Yinsong showed a rather embarrassed expression, thought for a while and said: "This batch of rice is only [-] dans in total. I must have [-] for myself. How about [-] for the guild and [-] for you?"

"How can [-] be enough?" Shopkeeper Li immediately showed a displeased expression: "Brother Xue, don't be greedy. Your granary must not be big at the beginning. Where can you put so much rice? This is the rainy season or something, be careful of [-] The rice is folded in your hands. How about this, you want [-] for yourself and [-] for the guild, how about giving me [-]? If you don’t have enough, I’ll distribute it to you.”

Of course, Xue Yinsong didn't believe this lie, but he didn't point it out: "No, no, no, I spent a lot of effort to get the rice back, but I didn't take the majority of it myself. Who would believe it? Besides, I'll go back and forth and talk less. Who is willing to subsidize the ten taels of silver?"

Shopkeeper Li flicked his beard, and immediately replied: "How about this, let me talk to Chairman He, and try to waive the membership fee for you. The ten taels will count as your membership fee and membership wine, how about it?"

Xue Yinsong scolded the old fox in his heart, and wanted to take advantage of Lao Tzu by giving him a false name, but on the surface he replied in embarrassment: "This... I'm a little bit at a loss, right?"

Seeing that he was moved, shopkeeper Li hurriedly packed the ticket: "But it's definitely worth it. Think about it. Next time you have cheap rice, the guild will also give you some shares for free. When you make a lot of money in the future, then you won't be disappointed." You will feel that it is expensive, and maybe you will have to serve wine to thank me."

Xue Yinsong was embarrassed and had to answer: "Well, I will suffer a loss this trip. Where is the rice from the guild? Where is the rice from shopkeeper Li?"

Shopkeeper Li said: "I'll ask the president for the rice from the guild before making an order. My rice will be sent directly to Lijiazhuang, 30 miles south of the city, and I will ask someone to collect it."

Xue Yinsong pretended to be dissatisfied and muttered: "Okay, let me inform you when the rice arrives, you prepare the money, and first agree on the first hand of the money and the first hand of the goods, I will not default on the payment of the goods." Finally, the shopkeeper Li couldn't hold back his indifference. The expression showed a look of joy: "No problem, as long as your rice is good, I will pay with full ingots of official silver. The Huaizhou official silver minted last year is absolutely fine."

The two agreed that Xue Yinsong would bring tea to see off the guests, and shopkeeper Li also went there happily. It can be said that everyone is happy.Seeing the people leaving, Qu Hongxiang sneaked in from behind and asked with a smile, "Isn't this pot water good for making tea?"

"It's just nonsense!" Xue Yinsong pulled his face down. This girl looked cute in front of her, but now she is acting lawlessly. Next time you mess around again, pack up and go back to the countryside to stay."

Qu Hongxiang pouted: "The catfish mouth with goatee beard doesn't look like a thing at first glance, besides, the boy said, this man has punished his boss before, and I am helping him to avenge it."

"You shouldn't care if you are a good person." Xue Yinsong frowned when he heard the teacup, "Go and wash the cup, what kind of smell is it?" Qu Hongxiang turned her head and shouted with a smile: "Man, the shopkeeper told you to wash it. teacup!"

Zha Jin came back the next day with some bad news. The boats on the Kuanshui River were too small. If he wanted to send rice to the Fuchun River, he had to use a big boat.

Xue Yinsong might as well pour cold water on him, and asked in surprise, "Does the boatman mean that he doesn't want to go?"

Zha Jin nodded: "He said that his boat is a ferry boat, and it can't travel long distances, especially when entering the Fuchun River. Once the river is wide, the wind and waves will be strong, and his boat can't stand the wind."

Xue Yinsong frowned: "This is troublesome. Is it possible that I have to go to Nanmeng to find a boat?"

Zhajin volunteered: "I'll go on horseback, and I can reach Nanmeng in just two days by running all the way." Of course Xue Yinsong knew the meaning of running all the way. , not in a hurry."

Zha Jin suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly added: "The boatman told us to keep an eye on the Kuanshui River, because a large tributary of the Kuanshui River passes through Dongguan Township."

Xue Yinsong looked at him in a daze: "Ah, what happened to Dong Guanxiang?"

"Dongguan Township is the last waterway of the Tuma Tea Ceremony. The goods that take the waterway have to enter the Fuchun River from the Kuanshui River. The boatman said that they are lucky to transport tea in this season, and they are most willing to transport rice. One is to prevent the Fuchun River from being packed. Second, if their Yunnan tea is transported with rice, it will increase the fragrance of the tea."

Xue Yinsong recalled that there were many main land transport lines in ancient times, such as the Silk Road, tea ceremony and salt road, etc., mainly to increase economic exchanges with mountain basins and basins in the south of the west: "That's a good idea, but how can I find this kind of ship? It is impossible to send Are people guarding the riverside day and night?"

Zha Jin said: "The boatman said that there is a place called Huishui Bay to the south of Chenjia Village. It is a relatively slow bend of the Kuanshui River. There is a pier there."

Xue Yinsong thinks about it, at least it is better to have a boat than no boat: "That's great, have you ever asked about the boat schedule?"

Zha Jin laughed and said, "Of course I asked. The boat leaves every three days, and it takes seven days to travel from Huishuiwan to Nanmeng. The best thing is that there are a few vacant houses at the pier, enough for us to store rice."

Xue Yinsong nodded and applauded: "That's all right. Let's transport the rice to the pier first. It is enough for a boat to test the water first. If there is no problem, we will start transporting in large quantities."

Zha Jin said: "Nanmeng hasn't contacted yet, why don't I go?" Xue Yinsong said with a smile: "Of course it would be better if you lead the way. Take it easy, so I will trouble you to go there, I remember that there is an inn in the south of Nanmeng City, you can live in it after contacting, and I will come to find you when the time comes."

Zha Jin laughed and said, "That's no problem. My horse is the most durable horse and can reach Deyang in less than three days, and it's only one day's journey from Deyang to Nanmeng."

Xue Yinsong shook his head: "No rush, no rush, it will take 2-3 days for me to transport rice to the pier, and at least 7 days to go to Nanmeng. You can rest at home for two days, as long as you arrive at Nanmeng before me. .”

Once the water and land transportation was arranged, the whole thing was almost half successful. Xue Yinsong let out a soothing breath, and immediately tensed his scalp and prepared to go to Que Hongze's Southeast Liangdao Terrace.

Supplying Chenmi to the He family is a variable. Xue Yinsong was somewhat worried that Que Hongze would not agree, but now he can only say that the plan has not changed quickly. At the beginning, he also did not agree to join forces with the guild, but the current situation forced him to be obedient. .

It is said that if you want to take something first, you must give it first. If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you can't get a tiger's cub, and you don't want your child to be caught by a wolf... Xue Yinsong thought of a lot of excuses to fully explain his point of view.

But—Que Hongze really disagreed.

Because it was Xue Yinsong who came to visit, Que Hongze served tea in the ear room of his mansion. He was wearing an official uniform and was wearing a beaded hanging. He refused Xue Yinsong's suggestion without any discussion.

Xue Yinsong explained: "I didn't want to at the beginning, but for the time being, it's better to collude with them, mainly because I don't want to make enemies directly." He didn't really want to reveal the whole purpose of his plan to enter Deyang, so he had to find this excuse.

Of course, Que Hongze would not take the He family seriously. First of all, he did not show up. Secondly, there is the Taishi Party behind him. Have you ever thought about how dangerous it is to release the [-] tans of rice? The food consumption in the entire Fuchun County will not exceed [-] tans per year, and they took the [-] tans of rice that can fight you for at least two years."

Xue Yinsong thought that maybe half of the [-] dan would flow into Deyang, but he refused to tell the truth: "It doesn't matter, as long as we raise the purchase price during the autumn harvest, they will have to compare the purchase with us. There is no impact on the grain households, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with giving them a small profit for the time being.”

Que Hongze paced back and forth a few times, thinking quickly in his heart, it was indeed beyond his expectation that the other party openly approached him, but he was unwilling to offer 20 dans of low-priced rice just for that.He only has a quota of [-] dans of low-priced rice every year. It can be said that [-] is not a small amount. If this price war drags on into a tug-of-war, then he will definitely not be able to complete the ruthless rice in Fuchun as quickly as possible. Attack the He family's plan.

Whether he can successfully complete the task, and whether he can deal a severe blow to the He family are his top priorities right now, which are related to his promotion in two years.Que Hongze took a few steps back and forth, and asked, "How can you ensure that they won't fight you after they get the [-] tans of rice?"

Xue Yinsong thought about it, and said with a wry smile, "It's very possible, but as long as I insist on lower prices, they can only follow me to lower prices."

Que Hongze considered a few words and said: "Based on what I know about them, the most likely thing they will do is to force you out of Fuchun County after getting the rice, and then sell the rice at a high price." Of course, Xue Yinsong did not rule out such a possibility, but He didn't think the other party had this ability: "It's possible, but what happens next is indeed unpredictable, so we can only take one step at a time."

Que Hongze was able to achieve today's southeast food road, naturally not by winning through danger. He has always pursued the word "stability", and he is not very comfortable with this method of walking and thinking, thinking and doing: "If you can't get it If there is a good way to control the situation, then I will never agree to this risky plan."

Xue Yinsong thought for a while and said: "On the surface, we are at a disadvantage by giving them low grain prices, but the risk has also been transferred to them. In the future, we only need to use this batch of rice to make a big fuss. Rice from Jeju, soaked in water."

It's better not to explain too clearly the tricks of Xia Sanluan. Xue Yinsong refused to say anything after seeing it, and Que Hongze didn't say anything.

In the end, Xue Yinsong had no choice but to say: "On the surface, we have low-price rice supply, and the common people come to us to buy rice, and the scenery is endless for a while, but I doubt how long this situation can last. You must know that the He family is not a vegetarian. Just look They can expand all the way from Qinchuan City and control the entire northwest and central regions of the Celestial Dynasty. They know that the He family is definitely not a group of mobs. If they face me head-on, and my current foundation is weak, it is better to take a step back and take a breather than knowing that I will lose Use your breath to figure out what to do next.”

Que Hongze was a little moved, but after thinking for a moment, he still slowly refused.Xue Yinsong had no choice but to leave. The other party did not agree to let go of the supply, and he did not dare to risk his own plan. It seems that this plan is not as easy as imagined.

The slobber war in the afternoon was really exhausting. After dinner, Xue Yinsong lay on the bed early for the first time in a daze. After the little scholar checked the homework of the two boys, he pushed the door in and saw him sighing with his hands on the pillow.

The little scholar smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
