Chapter 129: People are really stupid and have too much money

Zhao Chen wanted to laugh when he heard this.

This group of people obviously regarded him as a stupid boy and kept him there for two or three years. Just collecting the food would be a huge expense.

The harvest this year is not good...

Thanks for telling them!

"Zhao Chen, these people think we are fools..." Li Ruoshuang whispered in Zhao Chen's ear.

Zhao Chen smiled slightly, turned around and said

"I also think I can make money, otherwise I wouldn't buy so much food!"

"This year's harvest is indeed bad, and food prices will definitely rise next year."

"Okay, I've collected all of your 600,000 shi of grain!"

After hearing Zhao Chen's words, Zheng He and others showed cheerful smiles on their faces.

Six hundred thousand shi of grain, that's tens of thousands of dollars.

There will be many who fall into their hands.

As expected, he was a big kid, and he didn't know where he got so much money, so he took away 600,000 shi of food!

Zheng He felt secretly happy.

"Sir, how about four cents per bucket of rice for the price of food?" Zheng He looked at Zhao Chen with a smile.

He knew that the price of grain collected by Zhao Chen in Dongshi today was this much.

But the quality of the food is good.

But for them, that’s not necessarily the case!

"Okay, I'll charge you 600,000 shi of grain at the price of four cents per dou."

"But I need your help to transport these grains to the warehouse, how about it?" Zhao Chen looked at Zheng He, not even intending to refuse.

"Haha, no problem. Tomorrow you can ask someone to lead the way, and then send a bookkeeper."

"Six hundred thousand stones, not a single stone will be missing!" Zheng He's eyebrows squeezed together happily.

He thought he would have to waste a lot of time today.

The thought of it being so easy.

This guy is really stupid and has too much money.

After signing the contract, Zheng He asked Zhao Chen curiously, "Why did the young master purchase so much grain?"

"Eat!" Zhao Chen replied casually.

"Haha, you have a good appetite, sir.

mouth! Zheng He laughed and stuffed the contract into his sleeve pocket.

He handed over to Zhao Chen and left with everyone on the rainy night.

"Zhao Chen, these people look at us like fools!" Li Ruoshuang frowned.

She knew that Zhao Chen wanted to collect food, so she didn't say anything just now.

But the joking in Zheng He's eyes made Li Ruoshuang very uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you make money!" Zhao Chen smiled.

…

"Your Majesty, you came to Lantian County late at night to see this granary, but because of what Zhao Chen said?" Wei Zheng and Li Shimin said in the imperial carriage.

Wei Zheng was used to riding in the imperial chariot together.

As the emperor, Li Shimin did a good job in respecting the virtuous and corporal officials.

Wei Zheng was a little curious, as the night had fallen.

The emperor went to Lantian County, more than 20 miles away, to see the granary at night. This behavior was really abnormal.

"I'm a little worried!" Li Shimin said, tapping his fingers lightly on his knees.

Li Shimin didn't think there was anything special about what Zhao Chen said at first.

However, it suddenly started raining today.

And there seems to be no sign of stopping!

This made Li Shimin feel a little panicked.

Zhao Chen told him that if Chang'an City was short of food.

There are also Chang'an City's food reserves.

Li Shimin believed that Zhao Chen would not say these things without reason.

Come to think of it, he must know something.

But according to Zhao Chen's temper, if he asked like this, he would definitely not be able to find out anything.

Why not go and see for yourself!

"Your Majesty, are you because of what Zhao Chen said the day before yesterday?" Wei Zheng understood and frowned slightly.

Secretly, it is not a good thing for His Majesty the Emperor to trust someone so favorably.

Moreover, Zhao Chen

Just a teenager.

How credible are his words?

Do you want to remonstrate with His Majesty?

"Wei Qing, if you have anything to say, let's wait until we get to the granary!" Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng, as if he already knew what he was thinking.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Zheng swallowed his words, frowning and listening to the sound of rain outside the car.

…

"I respectfully welcome Your Majesty!"

When Li Shimin and Wei Zheng entered the Lantian County Government Office, the county magistrate Zhao Ji led officials from Lantian County to greet them on both sides.

No one could figure out why the emperor came to his Lantian County in the middle of the night.

We still came here in the heavy rain.

What's going on?

Zhao Ji felt slightly nervous.

"Zhao Ji, I heard that you have been in Lantian for five years, thank you for your hard work!" Li Shimin sat down and said to the Lantian County Magistrate.

"Your Majesty, it is Zhao Ji's blessing to be able to work for Your Majesty and the people of Lantian. There is no hard work!" Zhao Ji said to Li Shimin with a smile on his face, feeling a little more relaxed.

"I'm very happy that you have such an attitude. I came here today just to see the grain depot in Lantian County."

"The Lantian County Grain Depot stores a total of 500,000 shi of grain. These grains are prepared for emergencies."

"This grain depot is very important. Zhao Ji, you and I will lead the way. I will investigate it myself!" Li Shimin stood up and said to Zhao Ji.

Lantian County Magistrate Zhao Ji heard Li Shimin saying that he was going to inspect the warehouse.

My mind was confused at that time.

A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he forced out a smile and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late now, and the rain is pouring. Why don't I take your Majesty to check again tomorrow?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you have been tired from traveling and traveling, so you will rest at the county office today. Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the grain depot with Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, the roads outside are inconvenient now. Your Majesty's dragon body is noble. If something happens to you, I will be responsible for your death!"

Officials in Lantian County, at this moment

They all opened their mouths to persuade Li Shimin.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his heart.

Cheng Yaojin tried a color on the side.

"What do you want to do? Resist the decree?" Cheng Yaojin shouted.

Next to him, Qian Niuwei drew his sword, and the atmosphere in the county government office suddenly became tense.

"I don't dare!" Zhao Ji plopped down and knelt on the ground.

How could he, a small county magistrate, dare to go against the emperor?

It's just this grain depot...

"Zhao Ji, something happened to the grain depot?" Li Shimin glanced at Zhao Ji and said calmly.

It was this look that made Zhao Ji's heart tremble suddenly.

"Your Majesty, I deserve death..."

Zhao Ji's words made Li Shimin's heart sink suddenly.

…

In the past two days, Yuan Tiangang had been on tenterhooks.

After having a fortune telling with His Majesty the night before, Yuan Tiangang's face was swollen.

Yuan Tiangang was afraid.

Fortunately, the sky cleared today and the sun shone brightly. It was really a clear sky.

Yuan Tiangang was a little proud.

In the afternoon, the weather was a little hot.

Yuan Tiangang stood on the observatory, stroking a few strands of his beard with a hint of pride on his face.

Li Shimin stood aside without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, do you think the hexagram calculated by the poor divination is still accurate?"

Although I was severely slapped in the face the night before, it was sunny all day today.

This explains everything.

To be honest, Li Shimin was a little worried when Zhao Chen said that there would be heavy rains in Chang'an City for a month in two days.

Otherwise, he would not have gone to Lantian County the night before.

Nor would they find that the grain depot in Lantian County was about to be wiped out by greed.

Fortunately, the heavy rain finally stopped today.

This made Li Shimin's tense heart relax a lot.
