Xiaolou listened to the wind and rain all night

Jiangnan is a good place.

There are many mountains, many waters, many beautiful people, many literati and poets, many talented scholars and beauties.

The location of Jinling City is very good, because of the Qinhuai River, it is connected to water conservancy.So Jinling City is a wealthy town.People say that you rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you rely on water to eat water.Anyone with a shrewd mind knows how to make money by guarding Jinling City.

The salt merchant Zhou Yue was a wealthy merchant, and everyone in Jinling City knew it.But there is another more powerful existence in Jinling City, Tianshui Villa.

Shen Yixuan and Yan Yunyou are no strangers, because You Lancao and the others have already been here once, and they have become friends with the old owner and the young owner because of this.

Last time Yan Yunyou came in a hurry, eager to ask for medicine, and didn't have time to take a good look at it.

Standing in front of the villa at this moment, you can see it clearly.The villa is covered with red walls and green tiles behind big trees, and there is a clear lake at the foot of the mountain.Backed by mountains and facing the water, this place is actually a good place to be surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The autumn sun has yellowed the leaves. Although the vitality of spring is not seen, it also has another meaning.

The whole building looks quite exquisite, the garden area is large but not alienated, the whole structure is simple but not complicated but has a kind of elegance.

There are blue tiles on the eaves, which are obviously suitable for the Jiangnan architecture in the misty rain, but there is no gentleness in the south of the Yangtze River, but a kind of awe-inspiring momentum, which makes people daunting.

An old saying goes: "Choose a place to live, close to the water and face the sun".Tianshui Villa is truly a treasure land.

Revisiting the old place, the two people's hearts and minds are different from before.There were still guards and doormen outside the door, Yan Yunyou went over and said, "Please inform me, Yan Yunyou asks to see you."

The door boy looked at Yan Yunyou and felt quite familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.Looking at Yan Yunyou's elegant demeanor, he was also kind in his heart, and replied, "Wait a while."

There was still no expression on Shen Yixuan's face, and Yan Yunyou did not speak.

It was still a long wait. Last time, I was only worried about Sang Ning and felt anxious.This time the wait was tough.

Contrary to Shen Yixuan and Yan Yunyou's expectations, this time it was actually Ren Fuhu who came out in person.He still looked very energetic and happy: "Nephew, why are you here?"

Yan Yunyou hurriedly went up to meet him: "To be honest, Yunyou is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing."

Ren Fuhu took a meaningful look at Shen Yixuan who was silent behind him, pulled Yan Yunyou and said, "Come in and talk. Mr. Xuan, please come in too."

The tea served was still good, but I couldn't taste it anyway.

After all, he wanted something from others, and Shen Yixuan didn't want to put on the prince's airs too much.He took a sip of tea before he greeted him, "Why didn't you see Mr. Ren Shaozhuang this time?"

Ren Fuhu smiled and stroked his beard: "I went out to escort the darts, but I haven't come back yet. This villa will be handed over to him sooner or later, which can be regarded as an experience. I don't know what's the matter of Mr. Xuan's visit this time?"

"This..." Shen Yixuan hesitated, not knowing how to speak. "To be honest. My surname is not Xuan, but Shen."

"Oh?" Ren Fuhu raised his eyes. He had known for a long time that this young man was not an ordinary person, and his voice suddenly became cold: "The surname Shen is the surname of the country."

Shen Yixuan replied: "Yes, Shen Yixuan is going down."

Sensing the change in Ren Fuhu's tone, Yan Yunyou raised his heart in an instant.

"It turned out to be the fifth prince. He really is a nobleman, but the old man missed it last time." Ren Fuhu smiled, the wrinkles on his face were slightly wrinkled, but there was a chill in his eyes: "Tianshui Villa never deals with the court. I don’t know why His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness condescends to come here.”

Shen Yixuan could hear the strong sarcasm in his words, but he still said calmly: "General Yan is defending against foreign enemies, the supply of food and grass in the rear is not enough, and the food and grass for this year's tax payment have not yet arrived. The situation is a bit critical, so I want to come to Tianshui Villa to borrow some food and grass."

Ren Fuhu didn't seem to have thought that they came here for this, Tianshui Villa did have food.There is a mountain village in Nuoda, and part of it is specially used for grain storage. Jinling people rely on water conservancy, and most of them are engaged in business.The elderly, weak, women and children are at home.

The profit of grain and grass is not large, so there are not many grain merchants specializing in this matter.Ren Fuhu has great prestige in the south of the Yangtze River and has spare money, so every autumn harvest, he will harvest grain in a big way, only for turnover, not for profit.

Ren Fuhu is different from Zhou Yue. Zhou Yue has some contact with the government, but Tianshui Villa relies on its own ability whether it is to press darts, salt roads or food, and never opportunistic.And he has always hated the dirty place like the imperial court the most.

So he replied with a smile: "If it's for this matter, please go back, Your Highness Fifth. My food can't fill the stomachs of those officials."

Shen Yixuan knew that he must have misunderstood, so he explained in a rare way: "The borrowing of food by the government is definitely not in vain. At that time, it will definitely return [-]% of the profit to Ren Zhuangzhu."

Ren Fuhu sneered: "My Tianshui Villa is not short of these money. The weather has been good this year, and the grain and grass have indeed been collected. But the tax that should be paid has already been paid. There is a problem within your court, and you know it and come out to search the people. However, there was a flood last year, and the imperial court did not see the government allocate food to relieve the disaster and save these people. If there is not enough food in Ren's villa, I am afraid that many lives will be lost! Ren will tell you clearly now, even if there are people I won't borrow any surplus food either! Your Highness Fifth, don't need to say too much."

Shen Yixuan was so choked by Ren Fuhu that he couldn't speak, he took a few breaths, and said: "I also know what happened last year. But my father clearly allocated 40 taels of silver to help the disaster, so how can there be nothing?"

Ren Fuhu snorted softly: "Don't say 40 taels, the common people probably haven't even seen 4 taels. We don't deal with the government, please come back, Your Highness Fifth."

Seeing that they couldn't reach an agreement, Shen Yixuan clenched his fists and almost stood up.A slightly cold hand pressed onto Shen Yixuan's, and when he looked up, he saw Yan Yunyou, which suddenly made him feel relieved.

"Uncle Ren." Yan Yunyou said at this moment: "My master said that Uncle Ren is benevolent and benevolent, and he will definitely be willing to help this favor, so I let my nephew come over to have a try."

When Yan Yunyou opened his mouth, Ren Fuhu's expression softened: "Yunyou, I told you that day, this Mr. Xuan is not simple, why didn't you listen to my advice."

Shen Yixuan's heart tightened when he heard the words, Ren Fuhu is indeed a veteran.

Yan Yunyou bowed her head and said: "Uncle Ren's teachings, Yunyou will take it to heart. But this time the borrowing of food is for the common people."

Ren Fuhu's expression changed, and he asked, "How can you be involved with the imperial court?"

"It's a long story. But right now, I still hope that Uncle Ren can borrow food. This food is not for the corrupt officials' personal gain, but for the border soldiers. If we don't fight against foreign enemies, then Nanjing will be in trouble, and there will be nothing under the collapse of the nest." Is it over? This is also pleading for the people!" Yan Yunyou said earnestly, Ren Fuhu frowned, and his attitude finally softened.

However, Shen Yixuan knew that bringing Yan Yunyou this time did not bring the wrong person.

But Ren Fuhu still didn't let go, Yan Yunyou slowly tightened his hands, stood up and walked over, suddenly bent his knees, and knelt down!

Shen Yixuan was shocked, and hurried over to meddle with him: "If you don't borrow it, you don't borrow it, get up!"

Ren Fuhu was also taken aback, and got up to help him: "Get up quickly, let me think about this matter again, how can I afford you to kneel!"

"Take it!" Yan Yunyou broke away from Shen Yixuan, still kneeling straight: "Uncle Ren and my master are friends. Yunyou can kneel down to master and uncle. The war cannot be delayed. I beg Uncle Ren to borrow money for the sake of the people of Nanjing. grain!"

At that time, Shen Yixuan looked at Yan Yunyou, and finally saw something from his gentle temperament.

Tenacity and kindness, being able to bend and stretch is a real man.When he knelt down, he really showed integrity by kneeling, an integrity that even Shen Yixuan was amazed by!

Ren Fuhu sighed, and finally said, "I'll borrow it."
