Leng Yingchun no longer worried about whether Su Jingxian should stay or go. He thought about asking He Yang to investigate the grain merchants before, decided to investigate the situation, and went to the mute beggars in person.

He Yang told her that every grain merchant's situation was similar. Every businessman was glamorous, so who wouldn't be wealthy?

Leng Yingchun was slightly disappointed. She felt that He Yang did not investigate carefully.

He Yang noticed her expression and knew that she was not satisfied with his investigation. After thinking about it carefully, he found that the businessman named Zheng was the most reliable.

Leng Yingchun was very interested, "Take me to see if he is one of those grain merchant representatives."

"Master Zheng fishes by the small river in front of him every day. When he went there at this time, he happened to catch a lot of fish. A few days ago, he even gave me seven or eight fish. I brought them back and grilled them for everyone. They tasted very good.

good."

He Yang likes people who are kind-hearted and don't hate beggars, so he is very satisfied with Zheng Guangyang.

"I've sent you away for a small favor. If I ask you to do anything from now on, wouldn't it be easy for you to be led by others?" Leng Yingchun rolled his eyes, "Don't be fooled by the appearance in front of you, you must take a long-term view.

Observe a person with your eyes."

"I don't know your truth, I only know who is good to me, I will be good to him!" He Yang walked with his head tilted and pointed at Zheng Guangyang, who was fishing on the ground under the bridge across the river, and said, "That's him!"

Leng Yingchun looked over and saw that Zheng Guangyang was quite young. She thought he was an older man. He looked to be around twenty years old at most.

"Don't underestimate him. It is said that he is the most powerful person in the family. He has taken over the family business since he was thirteen years old. The price of his family's grain is quite cheap and the people like it very much. If you want to sell rice

Give it to him, and he probably won't give you too much money."

"I sell grain to grain dealers just to transport it to other places and sell it to the people through their hands. If they sell it to the people at a high price, I don't want to cooperate with them." Leng Yingchun felt that he still wanted to investigate Zheng Guangyang's situation.

When they were about to leave, Zheng Guangyang smiled at him and said, "Little sister, you have been staring at me for a long time. We are destined to be together. Come over here, sit down and chat, and I will give you a gift."

How about a few fish?”

"He wants to send fish again, let's go quickly, he sends, sends, if you give you to me, then I will have ten!" He Yang pushed Leng Yingchun forward.

"You really know how to trick me!" Leng Yingchun shook her head helplessly and walked towards Zheng Guangyang.

When she got under the bridge, she discovered that there were many girls hiding in the boats not far away, looking over secretly.

It seemed that Zheng Guangyang was quite popular. He felt that he had nothing to covet, so he just wanted to get to know him. So he sat down and pointed to the bucket next to him with a smile, "Where's the fish?"

"Over there!" Zheng Guangyang pointed to the bucket not far away. He Yang ran over and filled the bucket with palm-sized river fish.

Zheng Guangyang looked at Leng Yingchun with a smile, "Little sister, if you want it, I'll give it all to you!"

"We are not related, why did you give me the fish?" Leng Yingchun pretended to be ignorant.

"Speaking of which, we are old acquaintances. What's the harm in giving you this little fish?" Zheng Guangyang put the fishing rod aside.

"Old acquaintance?" Leng Yingchun tried hard to recall what happened. He had no memory at all, so he teased, "Your method of picking up girls is unusual. Did you see me in your dream?"

"Haha!" Zheng Guangyang was amused and said, "We passed each other many times in the county government office. You always pretended that I didn't exist, so naturally you have no impression of me."

Leng Yingchun was dumbfounded. There were so many people going in and out of the county government office every day. If she had to pay attention to them all, wouldn't it be too tiring?

She thought about it carefully, and she seemed to have seen him before, but at that time she was in a hurry to find the master to do something, so naturally she didn't pay attention.

"I'm too short to see, haha!" Leng Yingchun smiled lightly, still thinking about whether he would take the opportunity to ask her to sell him some grain, and thought of the wording for refusal.

Zheng Guangyang did not mention the matter of food and went fishing quietly.

Leng Yingchun didn't like fishing, so he just found an excuse and left.

"Little sister, take the fish away!" Zheng Guangyang said.

"Thanks, I don't need it!" Leng.

Yingchun refused. She knew how to eat soft-spoken people and would never let herself be manipulated by Zheng Guangyang.

"Don't give up, I want it!" He Yang followed Leng Yingchun with a bucket, "Look, is Mr. Zheng easy to get along with?"

"I feel that he is playing a long game to catch big fish, so he wants to buy food in advance through me. I will not follow his wishes. You can go back first. I have my own plans."

Leng Yingchun said and went to Yuelai Building. After closing the door, she entered the space, loaded more than thirty baskets of wheat, put them away, and then walked to the county government office.

This time she paid special attention to the people around her, and found that most of the people who went to the county government were young people, and they all looked the same, so how could she notice Zheng Guangyang?

When the master saw her, he handed her the letter he received, "A child sent it, saying it was for you. I was busy supervising them to dry the rice, so I didn't have time to go to your house. It's okay now. You can come in person."

Just read the letter yourself."

"Why do you have panda eyes? Wouldn't it be better to sleep on a rainy day?" Leng Yingchun took the letter and opened it to look at it.@*~~

"It'll be fine if you leave the rice to us. The adults told us not to go home. We must dry the rice and transport it to other places before we can go home and sleep. So our nerves are tense every day."

, I was afraid that someone would come and steal the rice, so I would get up from time to time to visit the warehouse at night, and I couldn’t sleep at all.”

The master yawned and slumped down on the table. He would die from overwork if he continued to be busy like this. He would have to find time to ask the county magistrate to assign him an assistant.

Leng Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter. Su Jingxian told her that the matter was urgent and she had to leave early. If she encountered difficulties and had no way to seek help from the government, she should write to Qin Lanqing and ask Qin Lanqing to tell him that he would definitely help.

.

"Welcome to the Spring Festival, when will we start sowing rice? We have to set aside the rice, otherwise it will have to be transported away. The adults have urged us to plant it early and harvest it early, but don't be ruined by the cold." The master rubbed his eyes.

Lie on the chair and close your eyes to relax.

"You look so tired, can you help me?" Leng Yingchun put the letter away, but she hadn't put the loach away yet.

"It's definitely possible!" The master jumped up and patted his face, "My lord, I estimate that with this harvest, Lucheng has taken the first place in the country, which is equivalent to solving the court crisis. Whether we can increase our salary depends entirely on you.

"

"Come on, you can borrow a few cows to plow the fields, and I'm going to raise rice seedlings. I will plant the late rice before the cold winter comes, so that you can become the top place to increase grain production in Yu State, and it will be easy to get promoted and make a fortune." Leng Yingchun said.

Very excited as well.

"That's great, work harder!" Master sat down again, "What do you want to do today?"

"Master, I just came back from Tea Tree Village and learned that they are short of wheat. Just now, I bought a lot of wheat seeds from a traveling wheat merchant and put them on the second floor of Yuelai Building. You can take your time to deliver them to Tea Tree Village." Leng

Yingchun placed the key to Yuelai Building in front of Master.

"Last time you found wheat in the cave, and this time you bought wheat from a wheat merchant?" The master thought it was too mysterious, "Where is the wheat merchant? Where is he? I'll go find him!"

He must investigate clearly to see if this is true, otherwise he will treat Leng Yingchun as a monster.

"Go home!" Leng Yingchun said without changing his expression, "When he comes, I will introduce him to you."

"You didn't lie to me?" Master frowned.

"I lied to you like a puppy!" Leng Yingchun swore without hesitation, "You are really strange. I shared the burden for you and specially bought wheat. If the people in Chashu Village grow wheat, you will have more credit. Then

The court cannot praise you? You are too weak to count the money."

"I'm sorry you don't dare to lie to me. That's fine, I will arrange it!" Master no longer doubted, "Didn't you go to Tea Tree Village? Did you bring back the scent of duck shit?"

"No!" Leng Yingchun shook her head. She didn't ask, and Li Zheng didn't give.

"Okay then!" Master waved his hand, "The people in Tea Tree Village are getting more and more stingy!"

"If you are stingy, be stingy. The worst you can do is buy from them in the future. As you know, their life is not going to be easy this year, so if they keep the tea, they will have to wait until the market gets better to sell it for money." Leng Yingchun understands the hardships of the people in Tea Tree Village.

.

"Don't mention them anymore!" The master seemed to have given up on Tea Tree Village.

.

"By the way, Master, do you know Zheng Guangyang?" Leng Yingchun still mustered up the courage to ask Master to investigate Zheng Guangyang.

"I know him. His family sells grain. He is a very smart person. He transported grain from other countries in advance to reserve it. When other grain merchants had no grain to sell, his family's business was not affected at all. He sold grain in limited quantities every day and was suddenly sold.

The big family sold it out, so I guess they made a lot of money."

"Then he is taking a high-end route. It is not easy for ordinary people to buy his food!" Leng Yingchun felt that Zheng Guangyang was too profit-seeking, which ran counter to her idea of ​​letting the people eat food.

"Yingchun, you really underestimate him!" The master laughed, "The common people can't buy his food, but he transported one-third of the food to the county government, and we will allocate it, sir."

Food is transported to places in the north that need it more, causing local food shortages and making people's lives very miserable."

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" Leng Yingchun asked.

"You didn't even ask!" The master said helplessly, "Sir, after the grain was transported to the northern government, it was taken over by the young marquis. It was probably eaten by the refugees in the porridge shacks set up in the north." The master also did it.

I don’t know where the food goes.

Leng Yingchun thought of the porridge shack set up by Su Jingxian in Pingshui Keng. She and her sisters also queued up to receive porridge and passed the most difficult time.

It turned out to be the grain stored by Zheng Guangyang.

"Yingchun, why did you suddenly ask about Zheng Guangyang? He won't buy food from you, right?" the master asked curiously.

"He didn't mention it. I saw him by the river and chatted with him for a few words." Leng Yingchun laughed, thinking about cooperating with Zheng Guangyang.

"That boy often goes to the river to fish. He doesn't eat the fish he catches, but gives them to others. I only got two fish." The master also doesn't understand why Zheng Guangyang likes fishing.

"Does he come to the county government office often?" Leng Yingchun asked again.

"Every three days, there are several times when he has just left for a while, and then you guys come." The master answered truthfully.

"What is he doing here?" Leng Yingchun asked carefully.

"Prepare the accounts!" The master pointed to the first-level account books placed not far away, "Merchant in Lucheng must sort out the account books and hand them over. The clerical office set up next to your Excellency is dedicated to reading the account books. They have them early in the morning

I'll come and move the ledgers and bring them back before I go home in the afternoon."

"Oh, there are others, I thought you were the only staff member!" Leng Yingchun gained experience, "I thought you were watching everything here."

"Of course not. We all perform our duties and work hard, and I will be exhausted." The master pointed to the front, "I will take you to see the people working in the yamen."
