I hang up for retirement in the martial arts world

Chapter 30 Raising Food
"Do you know how much food is left in the warehouses?"

In the study, Chen Yi, who had just returned from a stroll, asked Chen Qiyao, the housekeeper.

Chen Qiyao didn't dare to be negligent, and asked cautiously: "Young Master, do you want to know about Ninghe City, or?"

"Oh? How much is there in the Ninghe River, and how much is there elsewhere." Chen Yi suddenly became interested and asked back.

Indulging in martial arts every day, he really never cared about how much money his family has!
Chen Qiyao replied without hesitation: "There are three storehouses, large and small, in the city. The total grain left over the years is 720 shi, of which [-] shi is old grain. There are four granaries and seven warehouses in Changping City. Four thousand three hundred and three"

"Stay!"

Chen Yi interrupted his endless counting.

He ordered: "There is no need to report, just get the account book for the past month."

Well, he decided to watch it himself
The books piled up like a hill were transported to the study in piles, and the two guys who moved them were sweating profusely.

On the side, Chen Qiyao's eyes were sharp, like torches, staring at the movements of the two of them like a beast, fearing that any corner of any book would be damaged.
This is treating the ledger as a favorite.

The sound of turning pages in the study lasted for an hour.
With a sound of 'snap', Chen Yi threw away the thick book in his hand, and pinched his slightly swollen temples, feeling somewhat regretful in his heart.

This unlucky job is really not done by humans.

Although it was only a rough look, he already had a general idea in his mind.

It really has never dishonored the name of a century-old family
Don't worry about vulgar things such as gold and silver. There are still a lot of stocks of the most in-demand grains. Only the two counties and seven counties in the vicinity can get [-] shi of new grain and more than [-] shi of old grain. .

However, this stone is not that stone, and it is quite different from the ancient times in the previous life. What's more, it may not be a real number.

A family of five usually needs twelve shi of food in one month, but in this season, ten shi is enough.No one cares about new food and old food, they are all ordinary, and it is a luxury to be able to barely eat.

"Huh?" The kneading hands stopped slightly.

Chen Yi suddenly understood why Qian Hong complained and acted in front of him
This is a bitter trick!
This guy actually deceived him with a kind heart like Shura Dao, it is certain that Chen Yi would not have the heart to see the refugees starve to death everywhere.

This is the autumn wind who wants to hit him, sit and eat the big family!
"Fucked! Look at this fellow with thick eyebrows and big eyes. I think he is honest and honest. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."

Chen Yi looked at the account book in hand, and condemned someone with heartbroken words.

If you want to fail what he wants, but you still can't pass the test in your heart.

"Forget it, let the money go to people's peace of mind, please have peace of mind!"

Pushing away the ledger blocking the way, he let out a long sigh and left bitterly.

Chen Qiyao was left alone with a puzzled expression on his face.

Chen Yida stepped into his mother's yard,
When Fang saw him face to face, he sang a big promise to his old lady.After that, he didn't hide his secrets, and spoke out his intentions.

"My son's intention is to transfer the grain stored in the clan to Ninghe, and sell it at the county government at a low price for disaster relief."

After some statements, Mother Chen already understood his thoughts.

She didn't express her opinion immediately, but asked softly: "Let's not say that food prices are far away now, and the epidemic is not over yet, so it takes a lot of manpower to transport food and grass. It's no big deal."

Chen Yi replied with a smile: "Then Qian Hong acted deliberately, but didn't tell the boy clearly, presumably because he knew that his family was in the wrong. The manpower involved in this transaction should be reported to the higher authorities, and the court will take responsibility."

Chen's mother shook her head and said: "Mother knows you have a kind heart. This sale of grain to the Chen family is nothing but a trivial matter. Mother doesn't care about it. It's just a loss of some money. It's worth saving the people outside the city. It's just..."

Seeing his mother's hesitation, Chen Yi offered a cup of tea and said, "Mother can just speak up, but there is no embarrassment in this matter."

After taking the teacup, Chen's mother continued to say: "This is not a matter of my Chen family. If the Chen family has food, how can the other clans have no food? It's just an excuse to say that there is no food for the county magistrate. This generation is nothing more than It is to drive up the price of grain, so as to claim money from the imperial court."

"Presumably in a few days, Qianhong will be at a loss what to do after waiting for this money. When the price of food is soaring, he will borrow more than half of it at a high price. Then reduce the remaining food by a little bit and send it to the county government."

"Hmph, those who are just trying to catch fame." She said in a cold voice with disdain.

"In this way, this kind of people can gain both fame and wealth, both money and favors, so that's how it is!"

Only then did Chen Yi understand the truth of this.

Then he continued with affirmative tone:

"If the child releases food at this time, it will block other people's money and become the target of public criticism. At that time, all families and clans in this city will definitely regard me as a bandit."

It turned out that some people's interests were moved, no wonder Chen's mother hesitated just now!
This is the merchant bridge in the third-rate storybook
Chen Yi didn't intend to exploit this way, but continued to say to Chen's mother sincerely: "It's just...even if each family opens a warehouse to release food, I'm afraid many refugees will suffer during this period, not to mention the county government treasury. , who in the city doesn’t know?”

"Even if it is reported, the prefect of Changping is still confronting the Hu people in Changding, how much money can he give to Qian Hong?"

"My child is obsessed with martial arts, and I only want to go forward with a clear conscience! I don't care about these profit-seekers. I beseech my mother to allow me to sell the grain to the Ninghe County Government."

After saying that, I bowed deeply to Mother Chen.

"Okay, since your little monkey has already said so much, how can you not allow it!"

After saying that, Mother Chen stood up and helped her up:

"With your elder brother, the Chen family is more than successful, and you are not afraid of being a little small. Since you have such a heart, mother and your elder brother should help each other with all their strength. I only hope that you will live a life of no regrets!"

On the second day, in front of Qian Hong's private house.

Chen Yi exchanged pleasantries with Qian Hong who greeted him personally, and followed him inside.

Qian Hongduan sat at the head, and Chen Yiju took the guest seat.

He didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at Qian Hong playfully.

Qian Hong couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and said firstly, "My nephew is here. What's the matter?"

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Oh~ Mr. Qian really doesn't know why I am doing this?"

Qian Hong laughed and replied, "I don't know what my nephew is talking about."

Not wanting to be dumb anymore, Chen Yi said directly: "The Chen family still has more than tens of thousands of grains, which were originally sold to the imperial court at the market price, but some of them are far away from hundreds of miles away. I hope the Lord will send people to collect them."

"Really?" Qian Hong said happily.

Chen Yi took a sip of tea, smiled and said nothing.

Without confirmation, Qian Hong, who knew he had taken advantage of it, smiled and asked himself:
"It's the old man who made a slip of the tongue, the dignified Chen Clan Asura Saber, of course it must be practiced."

Then his complexion changed, he got up and bowed to Chen Yi: "On behalf of the thousands of people outside the city, I thank my nephew for his life."

Chen Yi stood up and replied: "This is something my nephew can do, Uncle Qian is serious."

He didn't have the slightest bad feeling towards Qian Hong, on the contrary, Chen Yi admired him very much.

He has worked hard and devoted himself to serving the people. As a county parent official, he has done his best in the past few months and should not be harshly criticized.
