Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 2 100 shi of grain will bid
The gate of Wuling County.

There is an endless stream of pedestrians, cars and horses, and it is very lively.

Fang Yuan led the county magistrate and the master to stare at the passers-by at a corner outside the county gate.

To be precise, it was the county magistrate and the master who stared at the passers-by, while Fang Yuan was sitting beside him drinking iced watermelon juice.

However, more than an hour passed, and the few possible characters found were not, and they went to talk for a while and knew that it was not the emperor.

Seeing that the sun is about to set, Fang Yuan no longer has the intention to wait here, he thought that he might as well think about tomorrow's grain auction if he has this time.

So he got up and patted his wrinkled official uniform before leaving.

"Xianzun, Xianzun, are you waiting?"

Zhang San hurriedly approached Fang Yuan, and asked respectfully.

"No more waiting."

"Waiting for you to wait."

Fang Yuan walked back to the county gate.

"Xianzun, wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

Zhang San chased Fang Yuan to persuade him.

However Fang Yuan ignored him and left without looking back.

Fang Yuan had already walked to the gate of the city, but he still heard someone calling the county honoree.

Thinking it was Zhang San calling him, he ignored it until someone patted his shoulder and realized that it was not Zhang San's voice.

Looking back, Fang Yuan was shocked, what a temperament!
Not only that, but the other party is elegant and noble but still mighty, with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, the appearance of the sun.

The slightly older middle-aged man who followed behind him was also imposing, but he looked at him with a somewhat unfriendly look.

"Excuse me, did you call me?"

Fang Yuan responded politely, with a friendly attitude.

Guessing in his heart that the man in front of him could not be Li Shimin who was interviewed privately by Weifu, right?

"Yes, are you the magistrate of Wuling County?"

Li Shimin looked at Fang Yuan excitedly.

At the same time, he looked at Fang Yuan, sighing in his heart that Fang Yuan is a handsome young man.

At such a young age, he is probably the magistrate of Wuling County in his early twenties, and he is not dissatisfied when a stranger disturbs him, which shows that he has a good character.

Or it is my own Yingmeng virtuous minister!

"Exactly, my official source, may I ask you?"

Fang Yuan nodded, and reported his name.

Although I suspect that the other party may be the emperor Li Shimin.

But judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the other party to be Emperor Li Shimin.

If it was the emperor, even if it was a private visit in a micro-service, it would be impossible for a person of that status to look at him so excitedly.

Moreover, when the emperor travels, the security work must be done comprehensively, and there must be a lot of people protecting him, but there are only two of them.

Fang Yuan wouldn't believe that the middle-aged man behind him was a guard, he could kill three of them with one punch.

"My name is Li Daye, from Longxi."

"This is my housekeeper, just call me Lao Du."

Li Shimin had already made up his mind not to reveal his identity for the time being.

Because it was a private interview on Weibo, I didn't intend to reveal my identity.

Secondly, considering that Fang Yuan might be a virtuous minister of Ying Meng, he wanted to clearly understand how Fang Yuan was as a person and an official, so as to determine whether he could reuse him in the future.

Li Daye, may be a pseudonym!
Longxi, it might be fake too!
But considering the other party's look towards him, Fang Yuan is basically sure that the other party is not the emperor Li Shimin.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I don't know what to call me to stop you?"

Fang Yuan nodded, said calmly.

Since he is not the emperor, there is no need to be polite.

"I'm in the food business. This year, there have been droughts and locusts in many places, and there is a serious shortage of food."

"I heard that there is grain for sale in your county, so I came here specially. The county lord can rest assured that the price is not a problem."

Li Shimin clenched his fists slightly, and his heart gradually became tense.

He hadn't actually heard of it, but said it himself in response to the occasion.

If Fang Yuan is his Yingmeng virtuous minister, there must be a way to help him solve the problem of the sinful edict, and the biggest problem of the sinful edict is the problem of food.

As long as the food problem is solved, the rumors will be self-defeating, and the people's hearts will be restored, and there will be no need to issue an edict of guilt.

Therefore, he guessed that Fang Yuan had food, and Wuling County had food!

"I see, Boss Li has come to the right place."

"Tomorrow, 100 million shi of grain in our county will be sold through bidding, and the one with the highest price will win."

Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, he smiled again and became more polite.

It turns out that another God of Wealth is coming, so we have to welcome him well.

Tomorrow is the day of grain harvest in Wuling County, and also the day of the first auction of grain.

Caravans from all over the world that have received news these days have already entered Wuling County, waiting for tomorrow's grain auction.

Fang Yuan thought that Li Shimin was also an insider, that is someone from a certain caravan, he no longer doubted that the other party was Emperor Li Shimin.

This year, Wuling County's grain has reached a new high, but drought and locust plagues have occurred in many places. The grain harvest is not good, and it has been extensively destroyed.

Fang Yuan was worried that the imperial court would forcibly transfer away after knowing the high yield in Wuling County, so he only used commercial channels to contact the world caravan to bid, and the official information was well concealed.

"100 stone?!"

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui exclaimed.

Both looked in disbelief, thinking they had heard wrong.

It is not uncommon for a county to have an output of one million stones, but that is when the weather is good.

This year, there is a severe drought and locust plagues all over the world, and there is little food in the whole country. How can Wuling County grow a million shi of grain?

The two people's first reaction was that Fang Yuan lied to them, but after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, it was impossible, it was the first time they knew each other, and it was even more unnecessary for the other party to be the ruler of a county.

"Xianzun, quickly take us to have a look."

Li Shimin said excitedly.

He can't wait to see the grain grown in Wuling County.

It is not only food, but also the life of the people in the world, and the most powerful counterattack to solve one's own crimes.

"Boss Li, don't worry, it's getting late, and I will take you there in person tomorrow morning."

"This way please, I'll take you to the guest house for one night."

Fang Yuan chuckled.

Make a gesture of please, and walk in a certain direction in the city.

Li Shimin and Du Ruhui looked at each other, their eyes still full of excitement.

But the two of them were not ordinary people, so they quickly controlled their emotions, and they also understood that the sun had already set, and the two of them had walked for so long, so they should see it tomorrow.

The two of them had just followed into the city, and felt the extraordinaryness of Wuling County again. There were many people coming and going in the city, and there were many convoys full of goods. It was obvious that the sun had already set, but it was still a bustling scene.

Soon, the two of them followed Fang Yuan and came to the entrance of a luxurious inn. There were two well-dressed servants standing on both sides of the entrance. There was a plaque directly above the entrance: Welcome Hotel!
Both Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were surprised, it was obviously a relatively luxurious inn, why did it have such a strange name as Ying Hotel?

Just when both of them were puzzled, the servants standing on both sides of the door bowed at the same time, making an invitation gesture:

"Welcome distinguished guests. The Guest House will provide you with the best service at [-] o'clock to make you truly feel at home."

The two were startled, they looked at Fang Yuan at the side together.

Among the crowd coming and going all around, more than a dozen ordinary people almost rushed towards Li Shimin and the other two.

"Hehehe, this is the most high-end hotel in Wuling County. You can rest here for one night. I will send someone to invite you to visit the fertile land and bid for it tomorrow morning."

Fang Yuan chuckled, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Then wait for the summoning of the county magistrate tomorrow."

Li Shimin also smiled, and led Du Ruhui into the guest house.
