"I saw Xiongtai standing here from a distance, did Xiongtai encounter difficulties?" The Su family asked politely with a smile on their face.

"No, I just heard people say that the young master of Qingzhou county magistrate's family is extremely intelligent, so I want to see him."

There was a faint smile on the corner of the man's mouth, Su Jiabao couldn't tell what it meant, but he could hear a hint of seriousness from his tone.

Su Jiabao raised his eyebrows lightly, and repeatedly said modestly that he didn't dare to take it, but the proud look on his face made people want to laugh.

Su Jiabao generously introduced himself: "I am Su Jiabao, Qingzhou County Magistrate Su Wei is my father, I don't know your brother's name?"

"My surname is Xia, my name is Yuan," the man replied.

Su Jiabao and Xia Yuan walked in front together, talking casually.

"Where did Brother Xia come from?"

"south."

"Where does Brother Xia want to go?"

"north."

"Looking at brother Xia's attire and attendants following him, he must be a son of a rich family."

"It's okay."

Su Jiabao maintained his smile, glanced at the person next to him from the corner of his eye, and stopped talking.

Lu Dayou, who was following Su Jiabao, looked straight at the man in black, and sighed inwardly: This man is really good-looking, he is the best-looking person Lu Dayou has ever seen.

The guard followed by the man in black was named Zhao Fei. Seeing Lu Dayou's strange eyes staring at his master all the time, he also looked over with cold eyes, and there was a hidden warning in the depths of his eyes.

The nervous Lu Dayou didn't feel the cold gaze at all, and continued to stare.

Su Jiabao coughed lowly to bring Lu Dayou back to his senses, and then Lu Dayou remembered that his brother was still beside him, looked left and right, this comparison, Lu Dayou knew it well, this man is still Not as good-looking as his brother.

The group of four stopped at the inn where Xia Yuan was staying. Su Jiabao made an appointment with Xia Yuan that he would take Xia Yuan for a stroll in Qingzhou City tomorrow.

Su Jiabao who returned to the Su Mansion learned that Su Wei was still in the county government office, so he ate and lay on the bed thinking about the two people he met today.

After thinking for a long time, Su Jiabao finally guessed something about the identity of the man named Xia Yuan.

In the middle of the disaster, Xia Qichao encouraged merchants from all over the country to contribute to the disaster relief. The rewards he gave were official positions. Only then did I know, after all, this kind of good thing, first come, first served, no one wants others to get this benefit, they have official positions and money, do they worry about not being able to get promoted in the official position in the future?

Seeing that person answering questions in the daytime without leaking, it should be the first group of people who got the news faintly, so this person either has a high-ranking official in his family or has a lot of money in his family. No matter what he thinks, Su Jiabao feels that if this fat fish is released In the past, he suffered a little.

Su Jiabao propped his chin with one hand, his eyes twitched in circles thinking of an idea, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Yes."

The next day.

After Su Jiabao took Xia Yuan around half of Qingzhou City, he took him to Qingjiang Tower.

Qingjiang Tower is now closed to thank guests, but today Su Jiabao has a plan, so he asked Xia Wen to come to Qingjiang Tower early to prepare.

As soon as Xia Yuan and Zhao Fei entered the door, they could smell the tempting fragrance. Immediately afterwards, Wu Yan brought a porcelain bowl from the kitchen and put it on the table.

Xia Yuan looked puzzled when he saw the things in the porcelain bowl, Su Jiabao's eyes signaled him to have a taste.

The guard standing behind saw this and wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Xia Yuan's dark eyes.

Xia Yuan picked up the spoon and took a sip. The taste was smooth and extremely tender, accompanied by the fresh bean aroma, he couldn't help but take another sip.

When Su Jiabao saw that there was something going on, he changed his usual gentle and elegant appearance, and smiled kindly, "Brother Xia, what do you think of the taste?"

"It's very delicious." This sentence is true. Because of his status, he also chooses carefully the food he eats on weekdays. I don't think this food really surprised him today.

Su Jiabao got an affirmative answer, and the smile on his face became brighter. He clapped his hands, and then, the back kitchen brought out three more dishes, and Su Jiabao signaled Xia Yuan to have a taste.

Xia Yuan knew that the person in front of him had something to do, after tasting it, he put down his chopsticks and waited for him to speak.

"Cough cough." Su Jiabao pretended to cough twice, and then said, "Have Brother Xia eaten these things before?"

Xia Yuan shook his head and replied, "Never."

"Let me tell you, Brother Xia, only I know how to make this thing, and," Su Jiabao pointed to several dishes on the table, "bean sprouts, dried tofu, tofu skin, tofu, tofu brain, and you The soy milk at hand is all made from beans, and the most important thing is that one catty of beans can get fifteen catties of bean sprouts, three catties of dried tofu, and three to four catties of tofu." Su Jiabao approached Xia Yuan, slowly Say the following words.

Xia Yuan, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help showing a look of horror at this time, but he returned to normal in an instant.

The old God of Su Jiabao was waiting for Xia Yuan to speak, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sound from this person, so he could only ask, "Brother Xia, are you interested?"

"Have."

"I'll sell you all the methods of making these things, what do you think?" Su Jiabao promised, "I will only sell you the whole set of methods. If you buy it, only you and I will know about it in the world." .”

Xia Yuan saw that the person in front of him was seductive, his eyes were bright, and he looked like a money fanatic, so he asked directly: "Make a bid."

"Come on, you're really not bad... eh?" Su Jiabao came back to his senses, seeing that Xia Yuan didn't seem to be joking, he laughed loudly, stepped forward and patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder, " I knew Brother Xia was a man of vision, and the Xia family is truly blessed to have such a visionary as you."

Zhao Fei frowned when he heard the words, he looked embarrassed, he didn't know whether he should draw the knife and cut off the beautiful but inappropriate person in front of him or the inappropriate but beautiful person in front of him.

He looked at his master, but saw that the corner of his mouth was also smiling.

Xia Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed lightly: "Little brother is really interesting."

In the end, Su Jiabao sold the production method at a price of 3 taels of gold, and both of them were satisfied.

Xia Yuan took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Su Jiabao, saying that he didn't have that much money for the time being, so Su Jiabao could take the jade pendant and go to Tianfeng Bank to withdraw money. As for the list of making methods, Su Jiabao could wait to get it Give him the money again.

"Hey, Brother Xia is just joking." Su Jiabao also took out a booklet from his arms, stuffed it into Xia Yuan's hand, and said, "This is the method of making it, I believe Brother Xia."

Hearing the word Tianfeng Bank, Su Jiabao knew that he had indeed caught a big fish. Today, Tianfeng Bank is Xiaqi's No. [-] bank. The main bank is in the capital, and there are branches all over the country. A person who can withdraw money with a piece of jade pendant, Su Jiabao feels that this person's status in the capital should not be low.

It's a pity that he didn't inherit all the memories of the original owner, and he hasn't been to the capital, so he doesn't know which big family surnamed Xia in the capital is.

3 taels of gold is equivalent to more than 30 taels of silver, which is enough for ordinary people to live in style for a few lifetimes. Su Jiabao is very kind to Xia Yuan at the moment, no matter how he looks at it, he is pleasing to the eye. He invites Xia Yuan and the guards behind him to have a feast at Qingjiang Tower Afterwards, Su Jiabao took them around the rest of Qingzhou until the evening, when the two dispersed.

Inn.

Xia Yuan sat on the stool, carefully looked at the booklet in his hand, closed it halfway, and sighed: "This Su Jiabao is really amazing."

If this method is used in the military, the benefits are unimaginable. Let’s just say that it’s called bean sprouts. Nothing is allowed. It only needs water and beans, and it only takes five to seven days to grow. If you tell it, no one will believe it. .

There is a saying in the army, "Soldiers and horses don't move, food and grass go first, apologies every year, and thieves every night" can see the importance of food and grass. It can be said that food and grass are related to the success or failure of a battle, and even the survival of a country. .

Xia Yuan carried the pamphlet close to his body, waiting for the news of the food relief in Qingzhou city.

On the second day, Su Jiabao came again, and he took Xia Yuan to his corner tea shop.

Qinglin incense was burning in the room, Su Jiabao washed his hands, and brewed a cup of Qinglin smoke for Xia Yuan himself.

The tea mist filled the air, and Su Jiabao, who was wearing a light blue cloak, had exquisite eyebrows and a vague figure. When pouring tea with his head bowed, the people, the tea house, and the distant mountains seemed to form a painting.

Looking over with those agile eyes, he only heard him say: "Brother Xia Yuan, how about this tea?"

"Shangjia" may be caused by the environment and mentality. This tea tastes really light and delicious, refreshing.

Su Jiabao smiled with satisfaction, and added another cup for Xia Yuan's.

With the cold wind outside the tea shop, the cold air coming in through the cracks in the windows, and the handsome young man who was sitting across from him with an air of dignity, Su Jiabao wanted to use Xia Yuan's hand to push Qing Linyan to the capital. His thoughts faded away, he stopped talking, and just sipped his tea quietly.

After three cups of tea, Xia Yuan and Su Jiabao stood up, looked at each other and smiled, the distance between them was greatly shortened by the scent of tea.

As the weather got colder and colder, the government's disaster relief funds finally went to various territories of Yanbei Prefecture.

Qingzhou County Yamen Hall.

Su Wei looked at the mere three carts of grain, frowning tightly.

The leader of the guards of the Yanbei Mansion who escorted the food said in a deep voice: "Sir, although the food for the disaster is small, there is nothing to do. The gangsters in Cangying Mountain are rampant, and when refugees become disasters, their power is even stronger. All the money for disaster relief is taken away." The grain was snatched by the guards desperately, and there is only so much left after being scattered in several counties."

"The food is enough to last for two days at most. What do you think I will do after two days? Is the magistrate just nestling in Yanbei Mansion and waiting to see the victims?" Su Wei asked the guard commander with red eyes.

The life-saving food and grass that had been waiting so hard were only these. Su Wei suddenly remembered a sentence in the reply letter from Ningzhou Zhizhou Li Xilao: let the counties do their best to relieve the victims, and don't just wait for the government's disaster relief food.

At that time, he thought that this sentence meant that officials like them should try their best to resettle the victims properly while they were waiting for the relief food funds. Now that he saw the three carts of food in front of him and thought about it again, Zhizhou's words had a lot of meaning.

"Mr. Su, where did you say that? The magistrate is also very angry when the disaster relief food is robbed. He is trying to get it back from the reckless bandits. The imperial envoy sent by the imperial court is also seriously injured and unconscious. Don't you wait for your lord To share your worries, you are still speaking out of disrespect." The commander of the guards snorted coldly, waited for the soldiers to turn around and leave.

Su Wei didn't give him the slightest peripheral vision, he just stared at the food in front of him.

In the inn, Xia Yuan also knew the cause and effect of the relief food.

"Master, Baitang went to investigate the vicinity of Cangying Mountain, and there are indeed traces of fierce fighting." Zhao Fei bowed aside and said.

"Where's Lu Fei?"

Lu Fei has never participated in the factional disputes among the princes in the imperial court. He came here as an imperial envoy to escort the food money, and he was specially dealing with the victims of the disaster in the Yanbei border.

"Master Lu is indeed seriously injured, and he is now in Yanbei Mansion."

"Tell Yao Qing to save him," Xia Yuan said, "When he wakes up, let him come to see me."

"Yes."
