King of Song

Chapter 161
As the sun sets, the sky is red and golden, and the sunset glow is very gorgeous.The afterglow shines through the clouds and sprinkles on the West Lake, sparkling and the scenery is particularly moving.

Especially the Leifeng by the lake, and the Huangfei Pagoda (Leifeng Pagoda) on the peak, bathed in the brilliance of the setting sun, reflected on the lake, together with the lake and mountains, form a beautiful picture of the West Lake at night.

Leifeng sunset is indeed one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake!

Lin Zhao sighed in admiration, then climbed up to the Leifeng Pagoda, standing on the top of the pagoda leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, he could have a panoramic view of the West Lake.The majestic green hills, the rippling lake, the rippling cruise ships, everything looks so harmonious and beautiful.The mountain peaks in the distance are lush and green, and the ridge is inlaid with a golden edge under the setting sun.

Meng Ruoying has purchased a lot of land on the mountain over there, bought tea gardens, and planted tea trees.Lin Zhao felt a little excited when he thought that he might be able to drink the first cup of authentic Longjing tea in a short time.Even farther away, a large piece of land has been purchased, and it is planned to be used to grow cotton in the coming year!
In the distance, the city of Hangzhou is tall and majestic, with rows of houses and smoke from the roofs.Seeing this scene, Lin Zhao showed a smile, and the persistence for the past two months was finally not in vain.At least the people in Qiantang County still have food to eat, and they can light a fire and cook so calmly.

I don't know what it will be like in a few days?It's annoying just thinking about it!Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Lin Zhao felt a chill hit his face.

When did it get so cold?Thinking about it, it is now the end of the second year of Xining, and November is almost over.It has been almost two years since I came to this world, time flies so fast, what have I done in the past two years?
While meditating, there was a creaking sound from the stairs, followed by the faint sound of footsteps, Lin Zhao told Yu Xuan who was beside him, "Go and meet Master Zhang!"

The person Lin Zhao wanted to meet today was Zhang Ziheng from Guangji Food Company. He had contacted him before, and now Lin Zhao needed help very much. He had a big plan in mind, so he found him again.

Leifeng Pagoda was originally a tourist attraction. When Zhao Shiju was in Hangzhou, he often climbed the pagoda to paint, and it became one of the places where he planned his rebellion.Who wants to have anything to do with treason?So people consciously or unconsciously choose to avoid it.

In addition, Chen Qiyou kidnapped Meng Ruoying and died on Leifeng Peak. After that, few people came here, so it seemed even more deserted.

Lin Zhao chose to meet Zhang Ziheng here for the sake of keeping everyone safe and at the same time to reassure Zhang Dongzhu.The last time Lin Zhao came to visit and gave gifts, it was actually a kind of sowing discord, and Zhang Ziheng was very passively used.

Even if he explained repeatedly, he was suspected for a long time, and he was almost speechless, and he was quite wary of Lin Zhao.Therefore, it is not suitable to come to the door for the second time. Zhang Ziheng will inevitably take care of the appointment directly, so this secluded Leifeng Pagoda is a good place!

"My lord, Dongzhu Zhang is here!" Yu Xuan leaned behind him to report.

Lin Zhao just turned around and saw Zhang Ziheng who was slightly out of breath. He smiled and said apologetically, "Mr. Zhang is troubled!"

"Magistrate Lin is very polite. It is a great honor for Zhang to come here to enjoy the scenery of West Lake!" Zhang Ziheng was very polite.

"I wonder if Master Zhang's rheumatism is better?" Brother Lin continued to greet him.

"It's much better. Thanks to the cotton trousers presented by County Magistrate Lin, they are quite warm. Although it's winter, it's not cold at all!" Zhang Ziheng was still very excited and satisfied when he mentioned this.Just for a moment, his face became a little unnatural.

Youdao is taking advantage of other people's hand. Magistrate Lin mentioned this on purpose, is he asking me to repay his favor by name?Zhang Ziheng couldn't help feeling a little restrained.

Seeing Zhang Ziheng's eyes, Lin Zhao already knew what was in his mind. He shook his head and said, "Master Zhang, don't think too much, Lin is just asking casually, but I really have something important to discuss with my lord today!"

"What's the order of County Magistrate Lin?" Zhang Ziheng's heart trembled, the one who should come will come sooner or later, isn't that the same thing!
"I can't talk about orders!" Lin Zhaoyi waved his hand and said, "Today we still have to discuss business with Zhang Proprietor, and talk openly and honestly!"

Seeing Lin Zhao's unusually firm expression, Zhang Ziheng was shocked for no reason, and said, "What does County Magistrate Lin mean?"

"Borrow food!" Lin Zhao said bluntly.

The Guangji Grain Company's ability to become the third place in Qiantang proves that Zhang Ziheng is still capable, and he is also well-informed.He knows what the general situation is now, and now it is confirmed by two times, it is even more clear in his heart!
"How much to borrow?" Since Zhang Ziheng was open and honest, he didn't beat around the bush. County magistrate Lin had approached him for the second time.In fact, he was also helpless. Being targeted by magistrate Lin, he was definitely in a dilemma.

Lin Zhao immediately said a number!
Zhang Ziheng was a little surprised, this number was far less than expected, not even a little less.

"Magistrate Lin, is that all?" In his opinion, if County Magistrate Lin really encountered a crisis, the food would not be enough to cope with it.

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, if you borrow a few days, if the price of grain rises, you will return the principal with interest. If it falls, you will return it at three times today's price. What do you think, Proprietor Zhang?"

If it is purely a business, if you repay it in this way, you will never lose money, and you will make a steady profit without losing money.What's more, the amount is far less than expected, and Lin Zhao is owed a favor. It seems unreasonable not to borrow it.

Zhang Ziheng hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I will lend grain to Meng's Grain Company!"

This old guy has been in the mall for a long time and has experience. He has something to say.Just lending grain to Meng's Grain Bank is a commercial act.It has nothing to do with the county government, county magistrate and other political affairs, even if something happens, it will not implicate myself.

"Okay, thank you, Proprietor Zhang!" Lin Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, and Zhang Ziheng agreed, which is a good thing and a very good start. The layout started successfully.

"Proprietor Zhang, Ming people don't speak dark words. I know you have a lot of stored grain. I suggest you sell it as soon as possible, otherwise you will suffer heavy losses!" Lin Zhao hesitated for a moment, then said this again.

Zhang Ziheng's heart was shocked. What did Lin Zhao mean by saying this?Fudge, trying to trick me into helping?But Lin Zhao's eyes were always firm and confident, and it didn't look like he was aimless at all.

Is the situation not that serious at all?Otherwise, why only borrow so little food?Presumably County Magistrate Lin has already made up his mind.

For some reason, the strong confidence revealed by Lin Zhao made him trust him involuntarily.It is for this reason that he is willing to agree to borrow food.

So about food prices, will it be true?
Seeing this, Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you and I have some friendship. What's more, Zunjia is a benevolent person. He has many concerns. It is completely understandable that he has no other choice. Lin doesn't want to see such a good person like Zunjia suffer. , you must be dismissive of those black-hearted money, so...

Please believe me, maybe I meant to take advantage of you before, but not this time.I have confidence in myself, and I ask Proprietor Zhang to have confidence in me and in my own judgment! "

Zhang Ziheng's heart moved again. Is Lin Zhao completely open and honest?

Lin Zhaodao: "Master Zhang, think carefully, and I will leave first if I have something to do. Today Lin owes you a favor, and he will definitely repay you in the future!" After speaking, he walked away.

Zhang Ziheng stood there blankly, as if he was deep in thought.In fact, this is a bet in itself, and now it seems to be choosing, but in fact, the bet has been made invisible.It's just the difference between how much you win and how much you lose!
"I hope my choice is not wrong!" Zhang Ziheng muttered to himself, and when he looked up, he saw the incomparably gorgeous sunset glow in the sky!

Yu Xuan followed Lin Zhao down the Leifeng Pagoda, but he was muttering in his heart all the way, and finally couldn't help it when he got to the tower, and asked softly, "My lord, is this little food enough?"

From the moment Lin Zhao said that amount, he was wondering, if this is such a small amount, it would be a drop in the bucket.He was very puzzled, what the young master was planning, this meeting can be said to be at a loss.

"I know!" Lin Zhaotou said in a deep voice, "But do you think Zhang Ziheng can agree if there are more numbers?"

Yu Xuan nodded, and guessed again: "The young master is planning to come from Yuhang County, but..."

"You also know that Cai Yuanchang, the person from the third division, is in danger now, so we can't trouble him!" Lin Zhao said, "We just took a little grain from Yuhang County, and now we're returning all of it..."

"Still...?" Yu Xuan was a little dazed, food is most scarce now, and it is the most critical time.The borrowing is not enough, and you have to pay it back, what are you kidding?
Lin Zhao stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "This is the end, we can't borrow enough food at all, so we can only gamble!"

Yu Xuan looked at Lin Zhao fiercely, and understood a little bit. It seems that the young master has a plan in his mind, but what method should he use?So far he has not seen a clue!
Lin Zhao beckoned, letting Yu Xuan go by and whisper.

Master Yu's eyes gradually brightened, but he hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Young master, is it too risky to do so!"

"Is there anything else we can do at this time? We can only take the risk!" Lin Zhao sighed: "The risk is great, but the reward is also great. If it succeeds, it will not only solve the current predicament, but also take the opportunity to fight back. One blow will surely win, so it is worth the risk Give it a try!"

"Okay!" At this time, there was no other choice but to give it a try.No matter what choice Lin Zhao makes, Yu Xuan will unswervingly follow and support him.

Lin Zhao instructed: "You should handle this matter yourself, and you must hurry up, and you must not let the wind leak, success or failure, and even your wealth and life are all in one fell swoop!"

Yu Xuansheng nodded his head and said, "Young master, don't worry, it will be appropriate!"

"Okay!" Lin Zhao nodded and said, "To be on the safe side, I'll go to the prefectural office again. If Zhao Zhizhou and Su Tongpan cooperate, this scene may be performed better!"

Lin Zhao feels that now that he is a director, he has characters and props, and the next stage of performance is very important.

Can the plot develop as expected?Lin Zhao was a little nervous, but there was no way out.Only go all out to direct this adventure drama!
