Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 508, Is King Yan crazy?

Song family,

In the study room, Song Shouyi was practicing calligraphy calmly. As a great Confucian, Song Shouyi was quite good at cultivating Qi, and his method of nourishing Qi was practicing calligraphy.
As the saying goes, practicing calligraphy is like practicing a person. Song Shouyi's pen and ink skills over the past few decades are quite good, and the characters he wrote can be called iron-painted silver hooks, which are quite like everyone!
But at this moment, what Song Shouyi wrote was a large character, and there were only two characters on the scroll, so let it go!

After writing these two characters, Song Shouyi was very satisfied. Looking at the two characters he had written, he felt that his pen and ink skills had improved a bit more than before!
"It's just one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass. If you can really exchange the status of an imperial grain merchant for my Song family..."

Thinking of this, Song Shouyi couldn't help but get excited again, and quickly wrote down a second pair of characters in large characters, which calmed down his emotions a little bit!

Just when Song Shouyi was complacent, Song Weizhong and Song Weixiao ran into the study in a panic!

"Father, father, something is wrong!"

Song Weizhong and Song Weixiao ran very fast, and you could see the sweat dripping from their foreheads. After all, it is summer now, and the weather is extremely hot!

"Why are you so flustered? When will you be able to be as indifferent as your father, don't panic when things happen, and have a city in your heart, so your father can safely hand over this family business to you!"

Seeing Song Weizhong and Song Weixiao's flustered appearance, Song Shouyi couldn't help scolding them for a while. Now, their Song family is going to become a great Confucian family that sells imperial grains. Why are they still in such a panic when things happen? The demeanor of a great Confucian family!

"Yes! Father taught me the right thing, my son has lost his composure!" Song Weizhong immediately bowed his head obediently and admitted his mistake, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves and tidied up his clothes before saying again: "My lord, my son has something to report!"

Seeing this, Song Shouyi nodded, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Father this morning, King Yan gave out porridge in the city, and there are six porridge sheds for disaster relief!"

Song Shouyi still nodded, looking calm and calm: "It's not unexpected that the King of Yan has my Song family's [-] deniers of grain to distribute porridge in the city!"

Song Shouyi didn't find it strange that King Yan gave porridge.

After all, since ancient times, the simplest measure for disaster relief is to give out porridge. As long as the common people are full and hungry, they will not have so much time to make troubles!

It is different from the society after 400 years. At that time, there was nothing to do when we were full, and so many moths were produced in one day.
Nowadays, for the common people, the biggest pursuit in life is to have enough food, as long as they can eat enough, they can almost have nothing else to ask for!
Of course, in all fairness, it is not an easy matter to eat enough in this era. If there are people who can really eat enough and have no worries about food and clothing, there are very few people. Most people are living with tight belts!
"But father, it is said that all the porridge served by His Royal Highness Yan's porridge shed is thick enough that chopsticks can be inserted into it, and His Highness Yan personally made a promise to the people of the whole city in front of the governor's mansion today: chopsticks float, and people's heads Land!"

When Song Weizhong said these words, his little heart involuntarily skipped two beats. These two words of King Yan sounded a bit murderous, and seemed to have a strong sense of purpose!
"The chopsticks floated and the head fell to the ground?"

Song Shouyi frowned slightly. King Yan just bought [-] shi of grain from the Song family. [-] shi of grain sounds like a lot, but it's definitely not much, especially for Luoyang City today. Stone food is frugal, and it can only be used for a month, not to mention that once Luoyang City starts disaster relief, people in nearby Zhou County will flock to it, so the [-] stone food will not be used at all. One month, King Yan did this, where did he get so much food?

"Father, this is actually nothing!"

Song Weixiao hastily added: "The strangest thing is that His Royal Highness King Yan suddenly issued an order to buy unlimited locusts in the entire Sandao area. Although it is only a penny and ten catties, the locusts in the Sandao area are more than hundreds of millions. If so..."

When Song Weixiao said this, his brows became even tighter. King Yan's move was something he never thought of!
"What, buying locusts, why did King Yan go crazy?"

Hearing what Song Weixiao said, Song Shouyi couldn't bear it anymore at this moment. The two major actions of King Yan made Song Shouyi completely confused at the moment. He only wondered if King Yan had taken the wrong medicine, otherwise, how could he do such a thing? unwise choice

That's right, from Song Shouyi's point of view, these two actions of King Yan seemed completely unwise, especially the acquisition of locusts, which was simply crazy!
Just imagine, there are so many locusts in the land of the three realms. In the entire land of the three realms, the crops in millions of acres have been eaten up by these locusts. At this moment, King Yan wants to With all the locusts bought back, how much money does King Yan have to support his prodigal family?
"Not right..."

Song Shouyi frowned. The current situation is absolutely abnormal. What is the plan of His Royal Highness King Yan?Otherwise, how could you make such a move!

After all, if you follow the pace of King Yan, there will be a big problem, because no matter how you calculate it, the relief money in the hands of King Yan is definitely not enough to support Li Mo to play like this !
Because this is not disaster relief at all, it is throwing money at all, 600 million taels is certainly a lot, but according to Li Mo's way of throwing it on the land of three ways, how much water can be splashed!
But just as Song Shouyi was thinking hard, the housekeeper of the Song residence suddenly came in and said:

"Master, the Wang family has an invitation card, saying that they want to invite the master to a banquet, please look at it!"

The housekeeper carefully reported that after all, Song Shouyi's complexion didn't look very good now!

"The Wang family invited me to the banquet?"

Song Shouyi was taken aback for a moment, and his brows raised again. The situation in Luoyang City has become even more confusing!

"After receiving the invitation, you go and tell the visitor that I will attend the meeting on time!"

Song Shouyi nodded immediately. Since the Wang family sent someone to invite him, and he was one of the three major families in Luoyang City, there was no need for him, Song Shouyi, to show this face, and it was necessary to disclose the matter of the imperial grain merchant to the outside world!

Originally, Song Shouyi wanted to find another time, but he didn't expect that the Wang family would take the initiative to invite him. This was just right. As for King Yan's actions, let him do it first. Anyway, as long as it doesn't affect him, the Song family will become a merchant of imperial grain. !
