Chapter 2963: Step by step

The entire Xiajiang Town was really messed up for two days because of the fire in Xiaohecang. In these two days, not only the people in the town, but also the merchants who came and went in the inn where they lived were discussing this matter.
On the contrary, Zhu Feng was very calm.
It seems that Nan Yan's mood is not very good these past two days. He has stayed with her in the inn and thanked the guests behind closed doors.
On this day, while the two were sitting by the window drinking tea, Li Bushang walked in from outside.
"Meet the emperor, and meet the imperial concubine."
Nan Yan didn't look up at him, but at the moment he heard his voice, the pale face under the sun became paler.
Zhu Feng didn't seem to notice her abnormality.
Turning his head to look at Li Bu hurt, he said, "No need to be polite, what's the matter?"
Li Bushang lowered his head and said: "Just as the emperor had previously speculated, people from Hang Seng Hong are now buying grain and grass nearby. However, it is now that the green and yellow are not picking up. There is no food left in ordinary people's homes. I heard that, They went further to the Cui Cang county seat."
"Oh."
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows.
All this was completely in his expectation.
Then he asked, "Then, what news is there from Cicang County?"
Before Li Bushang had time to speak, Xiao Shunzi walked in again from the outside and bowed and saluted them: "Meet the emperor, and the noble concubine. Master Li..."
When Zhu Feng saw him hurriedly walk in, he knew there was new news.
So he asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Shunzi said: "If you return to the emperor, the people who stayed in Cuicang County before the emperor have heard the news. After hearing the emperor's words, Lu Boying collected a lot of food in the surrounding counties and cities in the name of the public. There are more than 800 stones."
"More than eight hundred stones?"
Zhu Feng said, "I originally thought that they could collect a thousand stones over there."
That's why it would boast such a seaport to Guantongxing and some other ships.
Nan Yan listened to the side, and said softly: "Eight hundred and one thousand are not much different. Moreover, those who do business on the market, who do not exaggerate their wealth and volume first, get a good discount, and then reduce some. , It's all like this."
Zhu Feng nodded: "That's right."
Then he said: "You, take my handwriting, and say that I have arrived in Jinling and need a batch of grain. Let them transport 500 shi of grain to Jinling first. The money will be allocated to him by the Ministry of Household. Our people took over, transferred to a port and shipped it here, remember, shipped it under the name of Huang Sijia."
Xiao Shunzi said: "Don't worry, the emperor, the slave and maid will do it now."
Zhu Feng didn't hurt Li again: "You send two people to follow."
"Yes."
Li turned around without hurting and went down with Xiao Shunzi.
When they all left, Zhu Feng turned his head and saw Nan Yan looking at him with a smile on the other side, and said, "What are you doing looking at me like this?"
Nan Yan tilted his head and looked at him, and said: "The concubine is thinking that even if the emperor is not the emperor, he will be a rich businessman, who is rich in the enemy's country."
"Oh?"
"No, it should be said that a person like the emperor will definitely be the best in that line of things."
"..."
"Therefore, the emperor can be the emperor, more than just the destiny."
Zhu Feng smiled faintly, and said: "Destiny? At my age, I should have known the destiny, from the destiny, I also recognize the destiny."
"..."
"But I have come here for most of my life without knowing, disobeying, or acknowledging."
"..."
"I only rely on myself."
This sentence is so arrogant.
But Nan Yan looked at Zhu Feng, who was sitting in front of him. The sun outside the window shone on him, but there was a faint feeling that his whole body was glowing.
From the first glance, the arrogance and confidence in him deeply attracted her.
No matter when it came, even today, he was obviously more restrained than before, but the arrogance and confidence in his heart remained unchanged.
It is precisely because of this that Nan Yan was firmly tied to his side.
The rope was tied by himself.
She pressed the throbbing in her heart, and whispered: "However, the emperor only asked Cuicang County to send 500 shi of grain. Will it be too little? I heard that Xiaohecang burned it. Quite a lot."
"It's okay,"
Zhu Feng waved his hand and said, "These five hundred stones are just a reprieve. How can they get the bait if they don't come up with a little real money?"
"..."
"But it can't be taken out all at once. At this time, when so much food is suddenly taken out, they will be suspicious."
"That's true."
"You were right. Just like ordinary businessmen on the market, they will brag about it first. These five hundred stones are enough to attract their attention."
Nan Yan smiled and nodded.
As they expected, all the people sent by Hang Seng Hang had returned in the past two days. When they heard the news, Lu Taining became even more furious.
"What? A grain of grain has not been recovered?"
The people under his staff said bitterly: "The shopkeeper, it's not that the people below don't work hard. In fact, we usually don't go out to collect food at this time. The people really don't have enough food at home."
"No in Xiajiang Town, let you go to Cuicang County to collect it, isn't there anymore there!"
"Over there, it's cleaner than ours."
"what?"
"I heard that people from the government just received it a while ago, and they charged a high price. Many households have a small amount of grain, and they can't stand it."
"Ok?"
When Lu Taining heard this, he frowned cautiously: "The government collects grain at a high price? Why?"
The following person said: "We sent someone to inquire about this matter. The emperor visited Cuicang County a while ago. I heard that it was the emperor who let the county government over there collect grain."
"The emperor asked the county government to collect grain?"
"Yes, the emperor only stayed in Cuicang County for one day, and then set off for Jinling. I heard that this batch of grain was specially collected and sent to Jinling."
"Oh?"
When Lu Taining heard the words, his frowned brows stretched slightly.
I just heard that the government of Cuicang County collects grain at a high price, and the emperor asked it to collect it. Reminiscent of their Xiaohe warehouse being underwhelmed, he couldn't help but sweat a little on his back, for fear of some conspiracy.
However, when I heard that the grain was shipped to Jinling, I was a little relieved.
Perhaps, it is because I have been worrying too much.
Naturally, the emperor is very expensive, and he is eager to enjoy it. This is not the case in any place. He should not be able to move his brain to this small Xiajiang town.
Just thinking about it, the accountant walked in from outside.
As soon as he saw the tent, Lu Taining immediately said, "What is going on on your side? Cuicang County can't accept anything anymore."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, the tent smiled, and said, "There is some good news on my side."
When Lu Taining heard it, he immediately cheered up.
"What good news?"
