Dragon blood bodyguard of the beauty president

Chapter 3403
Everyone present knew the strength of Shenlong Trading Company.

They deposited their spare money in the Shenlong bank, and the interest alone was a huge amount for a year, not to mention the various businesses in the capital, which already had their shares.

They didn't doubt that Shenlong Trading Company could come up with the money.

Cai Jing just asked curiously, "Just now, Taiwei Gao also mentioned this matter. I don't understand that the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce is all businessmen. Businessmen value profits over righteousness. Why do they do this?"

Zhu Xi said, "Returning to the teacher, these people are not real living Bodhisattvas. They also have a plan to help these disaster victims."

"Oh?"

Cai Jing suddenly became interested and asked him, "What are your plans?"

Zhu Xi said, "Shenlong Chamber of Commerce has recently purchased a large amount of wasteland in various places. They have introduced fine seeds from outside the region. There is a kind of grain that is grown on a large scale, and it can even mature twice a year. times. They plan to plant these fine seeds on a large scale, so they need to hire a large number of tenants. Now there are millions of these refugees. These people, as long as they are given a bite to eat, they can work for them willingly. They donate The disaster victims are just to take these cheap labor and open up wasteland for them."

With his explanation, Cai Jing, Wang Fu, and Li Bangyan immediately understood.

Cai Jing asked Wang Fu and Li Bangyan, "How much grain is left in the three grain depots?"

Wang Fu excitedly reported, "The south of the city is the largest, with 200 million tons of grain stored in it, and 100 million tons each in the east and west of the city."

Cai Jing asked, "Is this stored food enough to last until the autumn harvest?"

Li Bangyan said, "Enough, enough. These grains and grasses were originally used to help the victims. It's just that Fang La made a lot of noise. Didn't we open the warehouse to release grain for safety's sake?"

Cai Jing pondered and said, "Although the thieves are powerful, they still can't reach the capital. We only need to save enough food and grass for the autumn harvest, and the rest of the food and grass can still be released to help the victims!"

Wang Fu and Li Bangyan understood, "Xiangye really cares about the people, and loves the people like a son!"

"Master Xiang, the disaster victims outside the city will definitely be grateful for your great virtue!"

Cai Jing sighed, "It's all for the safety of the Song Dynasty, and it's all for His Majesty's concern. When did the old man care about these false names? It's just that food is expensive now, and it can't be sold lightly. It's not good for the country or the people."

He and Zhu Qian asked, "Outside now, how much is a catty of grain?"

Zhu Mian replied, "One catty of rice costs fifty copper coins, and one catty of wheat costs thirty copper coins."

Cai Jing nodded and said, "Then the price is five times higher than the market price. Such a large amount of money collected can also fill the treasury!"

"Master Xiang is wise!"

Zhu Xi flattered her again and again.

Wang Fu and Li Bangyan also stood up and complimented, "The presence of the Prime Minister in the Song Dynasty is really a blessing for the common people and a blessing for the country!"

"Xiangye cares about the common people and the court, he is an example for all our officials!"

Cai Jing Fuxu said humbly, "Okay, you don't need to say these polite words. I will ask His Majesty to open a warehouse to release food. You should keep your eyes open when dealing with businessmen. Don't let them be fooled."

"Master Xiang, don't worry, your subordinates will do everything they can to help Master Xiang and Da Song solve their problems!"

The three of them clasped their fists and kowtowed, and took orders to leave.

They all know how much oil and water can be manipulated in it.

They negotiated with the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce to sell grain and grass, and they could use five times the price under the table, and they could completely go to the market price on the surface.

Moreover, it can be lowered.

Even if someone checks it out, there is no problem at all.

Those raised prices can all be put into their pockets.

Wang Fu and Li Bangyan looked at Zhu Yu highly, and after they left the door, they asked him, "Master Zhu, how did you get in touch with the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce?"

Zhu Xi cupped his fists and said in a low voice, "Responding to the words of the two adults, this villain has a nephew who serves as the magistrate in Tianshan City. He has a good relationship with the chairman of the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce, so he and the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce recommended me. The chamber of commerce ran errands to get in touch with the imperial court. This is the first time for the lower officials to do business for them, and it is estimated that there will be bigger business cooperation with the two adults in the future."

"That's it!"

Both of them were thoughtful, and they happily said to him, "If there is such a good thing, Mr. Zhu will be the first to find us!"

"Of course!"

Zhu Miao complimented, "The two adults treat Zhu Miao like their own parents. If there is a good thing to get rich, Zhu Miao will be the first to hand it over to the two adults."

"You are still sensible!"

The two of them applauded, and they separated from Zhu Xi.

They asked Zhu Yu to be in charge of liaison among the middlemen, and asked the chamber of commerce to draw up the contract. The key was to prepare gold and silver.

As soon as the imperial court has a decree, it will immediately open a warehouse to release grain.

At that time, pay with one hand and deliver with the other.

They do not contact the chamber of commerce directly, so as not to let the imperial envoy discover something and cause trouble.

At that time, even if something happens, they can completely push it to Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi was willing to be the white glove, and sent them to the carriage with the two of them.

He breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his back, and couldn't help but let out a sullen breath.

This is the first major event he has done since returning to Beijing. With this event as a breakthrough, it will be much easier to contact him in the future.

Once Cai Jing has been served, it is very possible for the official to return to his original post, or even be promoted to a third rank.

After he left, a pair of eyes also left.

At Gao Qiu's mansion, someone immediately reported the matter to him.

What Zhu Xi told Cai Jing just now, this person has reported everything to Gao Qiu.

Gao Qi stood up angrily, and cursed depressedly, "A bunch of treacherous ministers are bringing disaster to the country and the people."

The staff next to him looked embarrassed, and wondered to himself what the old man was doing, isn't he just a famous treacherous minister, and he still has the face to call others treacherous ministers?
Gao Qiu said angrily, "For such a good thing, that guy Zhu Man didn't even say hello to me. He is not benevolent, so don't blame me for being unrighteous. You should send someone immediately to get all the people from the Shenlong Chamber of Commerce Got it."

The aide advised, "My lord, there is absolutely nothing to do! These people from the Chamber of Commerce obviously have a great relationship with the Prime Minister. If you catch them, won't you slap the Prime Minister in the face?"

Gao Qiu sat down depressed and said, "Then what should we do? Seeing them eating meat, can't we even have a mouthful of soup?"

The staff suddenly realized that Gao Qiu was actually angry with this.

Zhu Xi gave Cai Jing such a generous gift, but Gao Qiu didn't deserve it!

It's normal for him to be angry, and the staff all feel sorry for him.

He and Gao Qiu suggested, "This subordinate has a way to get the best of both worlds, not to offend the prime minister, but also to be able to eat a piece of meat in this pot."

Gao Qiu slanted, "What way?"

The aide said, "The Prime Minister can ask the Privy Envoy to seal up all three granaries in advance in the name of military supplies. If the Privy Envoy does not let you go, no one can use it. In this way, they want to open warehouses and sell them. For food, we must discuss it with you and the privy envoy. At that time, if the Taiwei doesn’t go to them, they will come to ask the Taiwei.”
