When the shopkeeper said this, his face was half-dark in the light of the fire, which made him look a little strange.

Yu Jinhe subconsciously put his hand on his waist, trying to pull something out. Then he suddenly remembered that he no longer had a sword, and hesitantly put his hand down.

The road finally came to an end. At the end was a stone door half as tall as a man. The shopkeeper stopped and pressed the mechanism next to him. The stone door made a rattling sound and slowly opened toward the inside.

The door is not high, so you have to climb in.

The shopkeeper said, "I'll go in first, you follow."

The two nodded.

When the shopkeeper walked inside, he shouted, "Come in."

Only then did the two of them take action.

"Master, I'll go first." Ada said with a bit of vigilance on her face, "I always feel that something is not right about this place."

The shopkeeper inside was urging them while they were talking, "Why are you so slow? I still have to go out to do business."

"If that's the case, I'll go first." Yu Jinhe pushed Ada away.

"Master, how can I let you take risks!" Ada was obviously anxious and came up to squeeze her away.

"Your ability to adapt to changes is not as good as mine, so I'll go first." Yu Jinhe spoke without politeness this time.

After saying this, Ada immediately lowered his eyes, with a hint of obvious disappointment on his face. After a moment, he still refused to give up, "Even so..."

"I don't know what you are thinking about looking at me, but please don't think of me as someone who needs protection. I don't need it." Yu Jinhe felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. After saying this, without hesitation, he bent down and entered the stone gate. .

Ada opened her lips outside the door, and there were a few obvious looks of disappointment on her face.

After passing through the stone door, Yu Jinhe saw clearly the situation he was in, and opened his mouth slightly, a little surprised. Behind this door can be said to be a paradise. The densely packed rice bags were piled several feet high. If a mouse got in here, there would probably be only a few. I will never finish it in my lifetime.

"Didn't you say that there is a war in Qingzhou right now, so the supply of food and grass is insufficient? Where did you find so much?" Yu Jinhe couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you understand? Our family has been selling rice for generations. When the price of rice will rise or fall, we can calculate a 'market'. As soon as there is a trend of war in the north, we have already Big Grain has purchased grain.”

Yu Jinhe thought thoughtfully, "No wonder others say that doing business is a science."

"What kind of knowledge? When it is of some use, it is called knowledge. When it is of no use, isn't it just 'scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants', the lowest level of the people?" I don't know if he is self-deprecating or joking, but there is an obvious smile on the shopkeeper's lips when he says this. meaning.

Yu Jinhe didn't know what to say for a moment. It's not that she didn't understand this feeling. It was like a person who, from birth, had been exposed to the idea that people were divided into three, six, and nine classes, and was hit hard to grow up. No matter how hard he struggled in the future, It seems like I can't get rid of this concept.

"A lot of the things I have here were taken away by King Jing some time ago, but he didn't give me any money. You are the financier." The shopkeeper said, "Now this place is all yours."

Yu Jinhe was a little surprised, "Didn't you say ten stones? Why did you give them all to me?" "If the victims on the street are displaced and have no food to eat, what would I do with so much money? I originally planned to do this, but in the end I found that I had no benefit at all and was struggling all the time. When I met you, I made up my mind and I made 5000 taels anyway."

Yu Jinhe said calmly, "Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from the green forest."

"There's no need to praise me so much. All you need is someone with a clear conscience. As for being a hero or not, I don't care."

Ada's strong body finally squeezed out of the narrow hole, and he was slightly stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Yu Jinhe may not have any idea about this kind of grain. Adak was born in a poor family and has been struggling at the bottom for half his life. It can be said that he has never seen so much rice.

"How can you get this rice out through such a small door?" Yu Jinhe said with some confusion.

"There are other doors." The shopkeeper replied matter-of-factly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt two eyes looking towards him, the eyes full of sharpness, as if silently questioning: Is there any other door you want us to dig into?

The shopkeeper was ashamed, "It's not that I don't want you to go through other doors. The problem is that the grand master has been secretly watching here. Anyway, at this time, contributing to the country's granary can be done by anyone except King Jing."

Yu Jinhe thought about it and understood.

"But now there are probably all the refugees outside the city. If you just give them rice, they won't be able to eat it. You have to prepare it yourself and deliver it to their mouths."

As the shopkeeper said, he knocked on the wall a few times, but he didn't know what mechanism he pressed. Another corridor appeared in front of several people, "Go out from here and you can go directly out of the city. There are so many things, so you can bring more people in." Bar."

Yu Jinhe thought for a moment, then asked Ada to call all the brothers who were waiting outside just now, and began to carry rice outside one bag at a time.

Her body has been deliberately trained by herself. Not to mention that it is particularly resistant, it is not as weak as Liu Fufeng before. She can't carry anything, and a bag of rice can't stop her.

After passing through the long corridor, Yu Jinhe saw a light appearing at the end of the road and couldn't help sighing, "It is not easy to build such a long corridor in the capital."

The shopkeeper walked beside her leisurely. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Do you know what this corridor was originally used for?"

"Stop playing riddles." Yu Jinhe was speechless for a moment, "We don't know each other that well."

"This is a corridor used to transport materials for His Majesty's underground palace. It was abandoned due to lack of funds. I thought it was so useful, so I used it by the way."

Yu Jinhe hugged Mi on his shoulders again. Seeing the shopkeeper pacing beside him with his hands behind his back, he felt a little dissatisfied, "Why was the underground palace built secretly?"

"Ha. If you knew the size of the underground palace, you wouldn't say that. His Majesty plans to use it as his mausoleum. The scale will only be larger than the palace on the ground, not smaller than the palace on the ground. But One crack is enough for an ordinary person to live a happy life."

Now Yu Jinhe understood that if the people knew about this underground palace, they would be very dissatisfied, so they had to do it secretly. However, if building materials are transported to the palace on a large scale, there is no way to hide it for long, so His Majesty is worried It took a lot of effort to open a corridor outside the city specifically to transport these valuable materials.
