Chapter 128 Closing Qinglong Harbor

"It's not for money, so what is she doing for it?"

"She's for food!" Su Qing looked up at the northern sky with complicated emotions in her eyes.

"Shen Biyun and the gun master behind him are from the Northern Qi Dynasty. The Northern Qi Dynasty suffered a famine, and all countries closed their gates to guard against death. Only the Yu Kingdom can transport food there.

She robbed [-] taels in Xujiaji to buy food for disaster relief, and committed suicide to kill Li Buqun's family, in addition to blaming Qian Chongshan for the arrangement of Zhangping, it was also for robbery.

But Wang Tianxi was killed because the grain merchants headed by him raised the price of grain, and the rations that could save five people could only save one, so she had to die. "

"So that's how it is..." Xue Chonglou and Xue Chonglou suddenly realized after hearing Su Qing finish speaking.

"Shen Biyun is really a wolf with ambition. All the countries are closed and let Northern Qi fend for itself. Only Yuguo can send food and grass to save his life. But she doesn't want to be grateful for coming to Yuguo to commit such a big crime. She is not afraid of getting angry. Is Yu Country also closing its gates?"

"Of course she is afraid, that's why she is doing this carefully, for fear of being seen through."

"My lord is more skilled. Now that we know Shen Biyun's plot, what should we do next? Strictly investigate every grain merchant in the past?"

"The grain merchants need to be investigated, but..." Su Qing paused, "How long has it been since our arrest warrant was issued?"

"It's been five days."

"For five days, if Shen Biyun had been among the grain merchants, and the grain merchants from all walks of life were mixed together, it stands to reason that she should have been there long ago. Why hasn't there been any news for five days?"

"This...maybe they hid it deeper."

"I guess no one would recognize them even if they stood in front of the portrait."

The two were stunned, and instantly thought of the technique of disguise.

"What should I do?"

"Loose outside and tighter inside, we secretly strengthened checks at the checkpoints, and quietly relaxed the restrictions on the entry and exit of ordinary people, giving them the illusion that we are lax in inspections. From now on, no merchant ship transporting grain in Qinglong Port will be allowed to leave."

"Yes!"

After eating and returning to the room, Su Qing had mixed feelings in her heart and didn't know what to do.

Xiaoya, who had been serving close to her, could see Su Qing's depression at a glance, a gust of fragrant wind approached, Xiaoya came behind Su Qing, and rubbed Su Qing's head.

"Young master, what's bothering you? If you're not sure, you can ask the master."

"This is my personal problem. I can't trouble the old man. I'm sick."

"Young master is sick?" Xiaoya asked nervously with trembling hands.

"Don't worry, it's not a serious illness, but it's a Madonna disease. There is one thing that I should do rationally, but if I do it, millions of people may die because of me. This number is too big, I Not moving.

But if I don't do it, many innocent people will lose their money and lose their fortunes. Tell me, should I do it? "

"Do the millions of people who died have anything to do with us?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Is it related to Yu Country?"

"They are from Northern Qi."

"There was a famine in Northern Qi, what did they have to do with your son because they died of natural disasters?"

"But if I don't see it, they can get food and stay alive."

"Are those people who lost their fortunes related to us?"

"One thing, they are all from Yu Country."

"My lord, what you mean is that if you don't do it, the victims in the Northern Qi Dynasty can get food and survive, but the price is that my grain merchants in Dayu will go bankrupt?"

"Yes! Many people told me since I was a child that money is something outside of me and life is a priceless treasure. But later I found out that money cannot buy life, but life without money is better than death.

It seems to be a good deal to exchange the lives of millions of people with the bankruptcy of hundreds of thousands of people.But this is a good deal, which violates morality and right and wrong, and Dayu's grain merchants did not owe them anything. "

"Xiaoya is just a servant. She doesn't understand the big principles, and she doesn't understand the world that the masters talk about helping the world, and the people are in dire straits. Xiaoya only knows that everything must be reasonable.

As long as I am reasonable, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is wrong, he has to apologize to me. "

Although the words were light and the reasoning was rough, it was as if a heavy hammer hit Su Qing's heart.

The tugging and entanglement in my heart disappeared in an instant.

After all, it wasn't Su Qing who really suffered from the Virgin Mary's disease.If Yu Country was Huaxia, Su Qing wouldn't even think about it, if you dare to touch me Huaxia, I'll kill you.

Although she was a citizen of Yu Kingdom in her previous life, Su Qing always regarded herself as a foreigner, and her visit to this world was just a journey.

A sense of belonging cannot be developed in a day or two, it has only been half a year in this world.But Xiaoya's words gave Su Qing a scale.

Everything has to be reasonable.

Your Northern Qi was hit by a natural disaster, and tens of millions of people were starving for food.

You, Shen Biyun, are so lofty, you traveled thousands of miles alone to Dayu, and you did everything you could to bring life-saving food to the people of Northern Qi.

But you can't use the blood and sweat of my people in Dayu to achieve your arrogance.

After thinking through all this, there was no confusion in Su Qing's eyes.

"Xiaoya, take care of your pen and ink."

"Sir, do you want to paint?"

"write a letter."

"Yes!"

After a while, he finished writing the letter, dried the ink gently, and put it into the envelope prepared by Xiaoya.

"My lord, I'll arrange for a messenger."

"No! I'm worried about the person you arranged. Let Ximen deliver it. This letter is very important and there must be no mistakes."

Soon, Su Qing called Ximen Chuuxue and gave him the letter to send to Liyang.Su Qing's father is an official in Liyang, and it is [-] miles away from Qingle County, and the express delivery of [-] miles will take a day and a night.

In Qinglong Port, there is a busy scene above the pier.

The porters going to and from the wharf, like hardworking ants, carry sacks of sacks back and forth.

On the abutment of the pier, Boss Wei and Mr. Shen watched the scene of loading the ship in front of them, and couldn't help but smile on their faces.

"Twenty thirty-foot-long ships gathered together are so spectacular."

"Twenty big ships together are not spectacular, what is spectacular is the mountain of grain. To tell you the truth, I have never seen so much grain in my life. The accumulation of grain into a mountain can flood Mount Tai. The ancients did not deceive me. "

"The grain ship departs today and arrives in Beiqi in seven days. When it comes back in a month, it will be full of money instead of grain. The few of us will be rich."

"Where is the richest party? It is simply a rich country."

"The first boat is full and ready to go."

A few people were excitedly watching the grain transport ship lift the anchor, but soon, the grain transport ship lowered the anchor again.

"What's going on? Why don't you leave?"

Soon, smoke was rising from the feet of a person in the distance, and he came in front of everyone.

"Young Master, it's not good, Hailong Gang won't let you go."

"No release? Why? Didn't you tell him that Mr. Su has a share of our goods?"

A few people rushed to the pier angrily, and saw from a distance that on the noisy pier, Long Tianxing stood with his arms folded, standing in front of them like a sea-fixing needle.

The voices of people around him were like the waves of the sea, but he stood still and glanced coldly.

The crowd was pushed away, and Boss Wei and the others strode forward.

"Master Long, what do you mean? Are we paying less loading and unloading fees, or are we paying less tolls? Why are you embarrassing me?"

"Boss Wei, don't be angry. It's Mr. Su's intention. Long is also obeying orders."

"Impossible, I have already taken care of Mr. Su's side."

"This is Master Su's official document." Long Tianxing pointed to the official document posted on the bulletin board.

I came in a hurry, but no one saw it.Boss Wei and the three hurried forward, and after taking a look, their expressions changed drastically.

"No, I'll go find Master Su right now." Boss Wei murmured, turned and left in a hurry.

By the side of the lotus pond in the backyard of the county government office, the lotus flowers in the pond have all withered. After a summer of feeding, the fish in the pond have grown fat.

Su Qing suddenly wanted to eat pickled fish, so she set up a fishing rod beside the pool.Maybe the fish in the pond have been fed by Su Qing, and they have been infected with the spirit of the Su family's culture, and they have become enlightened one by one?

Chasing and playing in the water is turning a blind eye to the bait that Su Qing brings to her mouth.

This is somewhat disrespectful to Mr. Su.

"My lord, Boss Wei is begging to see him. He seems to be in a hurry." Li Ang came to Su Qing softly and said in a low voice.

"Let him come over."

While talking, Su Qing suddenly felt that the fishing rod in her hand sank, and finally a silly fish was hooked. Su Qing gently raised her hand, and with a skillful movement, the fish was caught out of the water, fell to the shore and started to flop.

"Qiaodie, go and take the fish down and dispose of it. Let's eat pickled fish tonight."

"Young master, I... I... I won't."

"It's the first time I heard you say that you can't cook?"

"My lord, don't say I don't know how to cook this dish. I've never heard of it. Could it be that your lord made it up to deceive me?"

"I'm a liar, but I don't lie to two things, beauties and gourmet food. Cut this fish into raw fish fillets, and wait for my master to teach you how to make pickled fish."

While speaking, Boss Wei hurried over.

"My lord, Lord Su, listen to Long Tianxing, you ordered him to seize all grain merchant ships?"

"Yes."

"Why is this?"

Su Qing put away the smile on her face, and pointed to the sky with a straight face, "The direction of the wind has changed."

"Changed? What changed?"

"The seven kingdoms gathered in the capital, repeatedly urging the emperor to close the gates of the northern border, and making heavy promises. The emperor seems to be moving. The wind direction has changed, so let's stand still."

"But...our food has been shipped."

"What about shipping, anyway, we buy grain at a low price, if the imperial court decides to close the country, we will lose some transportation money.

But if you send food out, you will be endorsing the enemy, and you should know what the consequences will be.Don't worry, there are people in my court. If there is any definite news, I will know it as soon as possible. "

Boss Wei's face was full of disappointment, but what can Su Qing do after saying that?Had no choice but to back down unwillingly.

Seeing the back of Boss Wei leaving, a complex smile appeared on Su Qing's face.

"If I really let the grain ship go out, that would be the real loss of money."

Soon, not only Boss Wei and his team, but also other chambers of commerce who were planning to enjoy this gluttonous feast learned of the government's blockade order, and rumors spread everywhere among the discussions.

What worries them the most is that Yu Country will also close its gates.Once the country is closed, all the food they raised will be thrown into their hands.

The food they ate was [-]% higher than the market price. If they want to sell it again, they may not be able to reach the market price.

Thinking about it hurts my heart.

In the dimly lit room, candlelight flickered.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and two mysterious men in black cloaks hurried into the room.In the room, there are already four or five people waiting around the round table.

"How? What's the news?"
