Qian Boyi nodded and sighed: "What Zhong Yan said is indeed true, where do we get the grain from?"

Mrs. Su pondered for a moment, then smiled at Chu Huan again: "Little friend Chu, you understand our situation. I don't know if little friend Chu can help us with the seven surnames in Xiguan? They say we Northwesterners are brave Ruthless, but we Northwesterners are famous for their friendship. This time, if little friend Chu can help our Xiguan seven surnames to overcome this difficulty, not only me, but the entire Xiguan Daohao family will also remember Chu Xiaoyou Friendship."

Chu Huan knew that the seven surnames in Xiguan had indeed reached a point of nowhere. Otherwise, as old man Su, he would never have been able to speak to a younger generation in such a humble and begging tone.

Although Lin Lang didn't speak, she looked at Chu Huan. Although she knew that it was inappropriate to use her relationship with Chu Huan to get involved in this matter, the foundation of several generations of the Su family was in danger of being destroyed. There was no other way. In her heart, she just felt that there was always a way to solve any problem that Chu Huan faced.

Chu Huan thought for a while, and finally said: "Grandpa, your Xiguan seven surnames are representatives of the Daohao clan in Xiguan. I think as long as the Xiguan seven surnames do not fall, the Xiguan aristocratic clan will not fall either!"

The eyes of the old man Su showed a rare pride at this time, he nodded and said: "Young friend Chu is right, as long as the seven surnames in Xiguan do not fall, then the wealthy family in Xiguan will also stand up."

"Other big and small wealthy families in Xiguan are also very clear about this point." Chu Huan said slowly: "In any case, if Gao Lian's gang really floods into Xiguan Road, they will do their best to control Xiguan, and they will also It will definitely suppress the big and small families in Xiguan, and let the influence of the big and small families in Xiguan slowly weaken until they disappear. Therefore, according to Chu, the downcast big and small families in Xiguan have been waiting for the seven surnames of Xiguan to lead them to make a comeback! "

Old Master Su said solemnly: "Little friend Chu has extraordinary insight, that's exactly what happened. The rich people in Xiguan know how powerful this is, and they won't easily submit to Gao Lian and his gang."

"As the saying goes, a centipede is dead but not stiff, not to mention that the rich families in Xiguan may not all be at the end of the mountain." Chu Huan said: "With the prestige of the old man and Uncle Qian in Xiguan Road, if we gather the rich families in Xiguan again, This force still cannot be ignored, no matter in terms of public opinion or influence, no one dares to underestimate it. More importantly, the Northwest aristocratic family has won the respect of the world despite its reputation. For so many years, the Xiguan aristocratic family I think it’s time to fully use the contacts and reputation I have accumulated.”

Old Master Su and the others looked at each other, feeling a little confused, and asked: "Little friend Chu, excuse me for being stupid, can you point out something!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Actually, the old man has always felt that the seven surnames in Xiguan are now down and out, and there seems to be no way out. In fact, according to Chu, it is not entirely true. As I just said, the first condition for the seven surnames in Xiguan to make a comeback is It is to obtain a large number of grain seeds, the old man does not have grain seeds in his hands, can't he borrow grain?"

Old Mrs. Su, Qian Boyi and the others thought that Chu Huan had some good ideas, but when they heard this, they didn't take it seriously. Qian Boyi shook his head and said with a smile: "Little friend Chu, do you think there will be people who will lend us food now?"

"What does Uncle Qian mean?"

"Chu Xiaoyou, to tell you the truth, my Qian family also has some old friends in the pass. When the war broke out in the northwest, the Qian family entered the pass. They wanted to join their old acquaintances, and sent several people to make a front stand. They were all friends with the Qian family. We are close old friends, but when we heard that our Qian family wanted to take refuge with us, they didn’t even have a good word to say.” Qian Boyi said with a wry smile: “Human feelings are hot and cold, and the world is hot and cold. Only when you are at the bottom, can you taste the taste of it.” Looking at Lin Lang, There was a trace of gratitude in his eyes: "If niece Linlang hadn't taken him in, I'm afraid that I, the youngest of the Qian family, would still be hungry...!" The expression looked very helpless.

Old Master Su nodded slightly, deeply agreeing with Qian Boyi's words, and said, "Little friend Chu, it's not that we don't borrow it, others are not even willing to take it in, so why are you willing to take out your own grain for us to use as seeds?"

Chu Huan smiled and said: "Old man, to say something inappropriate, people die for money, birds die for food, and big businessmen put profit first. Old friends refuse to take in, but it doesn't mean they don't know how to borrow food. The younger generation thinks , if the terms offered by the old lady are attractive enough, the powerful families in the pass may not be willing to borrow food. Let’s say Xishan Road, there are not a few wealthy families with food in their families...!” Looking at Lin Lang, he smiled: "Let’s talk about our Dadong Su’s family. , there is a lot of food in the warehouse!"

Lin Lang gave Chu Huan a blank look. Seeing that Chu Huan spoke easily, the solemn state of mind of the others has been slightly relieved. After all, the old man and Qian Boyi are both experienced people. A door was opening, and the old man had already said: "Little friend Chu, you mean that we can offer a generous reward, so that we can borrow food from the wealthy family in the pass?"

Chu Huan said: "You must all know that the price of grain in the Northwest is really sensational. It is precisely because Gao Lian and his gang have grain in their hands that they dare to make such a request with the court. Actually, as far as I know, the rich families in the pass We all know that the price of food in the Northwest has skyrocketed, and many people even want to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but the rich families in the Northwest want to prevent the rich families in the pass from taking the opportunity to enter, so whether it is the rich families in the Northwest or the government, they prohibit the inflow of food from the rich families in the pass unless The food from the rich families in the northwest and the rich families in the pass cannot enter Xiguguan at all."

Lin Lang nodded and said: "That's right. Lin Lang also heard that many rich families in Anyi and Xishan learned that the price of food in the northwest was soaring, and they were all preparing to enter the customs. Some people even sent food teams to go to the northwest, but they didn't reach the West Valley. If it is the food team of the rich family in the pass, they will know that this is to take advantage of the fire and rob them, and they will not let the food go out of the pass."

"So the nobles in the pass want to make a fortune, but the road is blocked." Chu Huan said: "Nowadays, the southeast and northwest are not peaceful. In order to prevent riots in other places, the imperial court expressly prohibits food prices to take advantage of this opportunity. There has been a sharp increase, especially in the central region, where the government has always controlled the fluctuation of grain prices, so the wealthy gentry have food in their hands, but there is no profit at all."

Old Master Su's cloudy eyes glowed brightly.

However, Qian Boyi shook his head and said, "Little friend Chu, even if the nobles in the pass really want to take advantage of the fire, what does it have to do with us borrowing food? We don't have any money in our hands, so how dare they take the risk of lending food to us?" ?”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Businessmen in the world like to have profits without losses, but not everyone can do this. If you want to make big profits, you have to take great risks. You know it, and they know it too. After a pause, he said: "However, you must also be prepared in your heart. If you want the rich people in the pass to take great risks to borrow food, the price you have to pay must not be small."

The old man said: "If we can borrow grain and keep the land, we are willing to bear the maximum price." After a pause, he frowned slightly and said: "It's just that the seven surnames in Xiguan need to obtain enough grain seeds. The amount of grain needed is by no means A small number, the old man is worried that there are not many wealthy families in the pass who dare to take risks."

Chu Huan said: "What the old man said is that even if high and generous conditions are put forward, the rich people in the pass may not easily borrow food." After pondering for a while, he said: "In the opinion of the younger generation, the most important thing is to ask the rich people in the pass to take the risk of borrowing food. The most important thing is that someone has taken this first step. Huge benefits can certainly make people's hearts move, but the situation is unknown, and no one dares to act rashly. In such a situation, you must dare to borrow food."

Qian Boyi immediately said: "That's right, as long as someone opens the door, things will go much smoother!"

Lin Lang saw that after Chu Huan finished speaking today, the future of the seven surnames in Xiguan seemed to be cleared up, and a smile finally appeared on her face. She always felt that her man was omnipotent, and the big thing was in front of him. , can always find a solution in an understatement, and Chu Huan obviously did not let him down.

Su Zhongyan has never opened his mouth to speak, but at this time he saw that things have turned around, but he was very happy in his heart. Seeing Chu Huan's expression at this time, he looked extremely humble, and said: "Master Chu, you are an important minister of the court. Ministry, the Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's money and food, I don't know...!" Before he finished speaking, Chu Huan had already picked up the chopsticks and reached for the cold lion's head on the table, but the old man coughed and handed it to Su Zhongyan. With a wink, Su Zhongyan hastily stopped talking.

The old man's heart is like a mirror, Chu Huan was invited to dinner today, and he said so much clearly at the wine table, it was all for Lin Lang's face, if it wasn't for Lin Lang, Chu Huan would only have one word I won't say too much. Today, Chu Huan is able to tell so much, it is already the best of benevolence. As soon as Su Zhongyan opened his mouth, the old man understood Su Zhongyan's thoughts. No matter whether Chu Huan has the ability to adjust the grain, the old man knows that this request must never be made.

This is a dispute between wealthy clans in the Northwest. Although countless officials will inevitably be involved, the old man feels that trying to use Lin Lang's relationship to bring Chu Huan into it at this time is really overreaching and too senseless.

What Chu Huan should say has already been made very clear. For the rest, the seven surnames of Xiguan still have to plan for themselves. The road has been named. How many thorns there are on this road, but it is still up to the seven surnames of Xiguan to cut them down.

The old man stood up tremblingly at this time, picked up the wine glass, holding it with both hands, and said to Chu Huan: "Little friend Chu, listening to your words has benefited me a lot, and today I am old. For the time being, I will borrow flowers to present the Buddha, and offer a glass of water and wine, and thank you little friend Chu for pointing the way. From now on, little friend Chu is our benefactor of the seven surnames in Xiguan, this kindness, the seven surnames in Xiguan, will never be forgotten by generations to come!"

Qian Boyi also stood up immediately, raised his cup and said solemnly: "The Qian family will never forget the kindness of little friend Chu!"

Chu Huan hurriedly got up, raised his glass and said, "Grandpa, Uncle Qian, the younger generation really can't bear it. Today we just sit together drinking and chatting for a few drinks. The younger generation has very little knowledge, so I need the elders to give me some pointers!"

Both the old man and Qian Boyi showed admiration and admiration in their eyes. They only felt that Chu Huan was well-spoken, well-educated, and flexible-minded. He was really the best among young people.

Everyone stood up and had a drink together. After they were seated, Chu Huantan picked up the lion's head again with his chopsticks, but he didn't pick up any food. , it looks like they are working together, but the chopsticks spread apart after picking it twice, it seems that they are not as united as they seem on the surface, which is really interesting!"

When the old man and Qian Boyi heard the words, they immediately understood what they were talking about, and there were smiles on the corners of their mouths. Lin Lang over there was also ice-snow and smart, with a sweet smile, she was charming and beautiful.
