Chapter 12 Heavy rain!
Chapter 12 �
"It's urgent. If I don't use this 100,000 taels of silver as a guide, it will be impossible to spend the silver in a short time!"
Xu Tian said in a deep voice.
Even after the autumn harvest, I have to collect seven or eight days, and I have to collect less than three days left, so I have to take a risk.
After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin nodded involuntarily. Only by letting the merchants in Qingqiu County believe that they have 100,000 taels of silver in their hands and want to make this money, would they try their best to search for food elsewhere.
"What! Someone raised 100,000 taels of silver to purchase grain. This is the money we can't make in ten years of selling grain!"
"Haha! Now that autumn harvest is coming, the price of grain will soon fall. The old grain cannot be sold at all, and this person is still buying a large amount of it. It's really stupid!"
"Sell it! Sell it all to him. After the autumn harvest, we will restorate the food!"
"What! We don't have enough food! Buy from elsewhere! Go faster!"
Xu Tian’s move was very useful. The grain merchants in Youzhou took action, and they all wanted to get a share of the pie!
In a short period of time, a large amount of food poured into Youzhou, then concentrated towards Qingqiu County, and finally entered Xu Tian's mansion.
In less than a day, every room was filled with food. In the end, Xu Tian had no choice but to rent two large courtyards next to him, and then he barely filled all the food.
"In one day, I purchased 100,000 taels of silver. My son-in-law, I, Lao Cheng, admire you a little!"
Cheng Yaojin looked at so much food and felt very moved.
"Old Cheng, just remember, if you have any difficulties in the future, come to me. I don't have any other skills in your son-in-law, but I just have many ideas! Follow Mr. Gu and have nine meals in three days!"
Xu Tian patted his chest and said.
Cheng Yaojin felt that his temper and Xu Tian were very compatible, so he simply lived in Qingqiu County for a few more days. At that time, he would help Xu Tian sell food and help the people of Youzhou to overcome difficulties.
Chang'an City Imperial Palace!
"Your Majesty, there is news from Yao Jin that Xu Tian has successfully purchased 100,000 taels of silver. However, the weather is hot and there is no sign of rain at all!"
Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.
Li Shimin carried his hands on his back and looked at the sky, saying in a deep voice: "The clear weather in Chang'an does not mean that the weather in Youzhou will be clear. Let's go to the Imperial Heaven Supervision!"
After returning to Chang'an, Li Shimin sent someone to the Imperial Heaven Supervision to ask Li Chunfeng to pay more attention to the astrological signs of Youzhou these days. If there is any change, you should tell yourself in advance.
But two days have passed, and there is still no news from the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau.
In the Imperial Heaven Prison.
"Master, Your Majesty has sent people to ask about the astrological signs of Youzhou, what happened in Youzhou?
Will Your Majesty value it so much?"
A little Taoist boy asked in a deep voice.
Li Chunfeng was wearing a Taoist robe and looked like a fairy-like figure. He said in a deep voice: "Don't ask too much about adults, children, go and do your business."
"Yes, Master!"
The little Taoist boy was scolded by Li Chunfeng, and he lowered his head helplessly, turned around and walked out.
"Oh! What's wrong with Youzhou?
Your Majesty kept asking, and I was completely confused."
After the little Taoist boy went out, Li Chunfeng whispered.
"Master! Your descendant!"
At this time, the little Taoist boy who had just left ran back.
Li Chunfeng hurriedly went out to greet him. When he saw Li Shimin, he knelt on the ground and said, "My minister Li Chunfeng, I have seen Your Majesty!"
"Li Chunfeng, did you take a closer look at what I asked you a few days ago?"
Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.
"Report to Your Majesty, I have not discovered anything special about Youzhou in the past few days and nights. Could it be that there are evil people who are in trouble?
Your Majesty, don’t worry, my Tang Dynasty is shining with auspicious stars. Even if there are evil people, they are all a group of mobs and cannot make a difference!”
Li Chunfeng replied tentatively.
"Li Chunfeng, Your Majesty is asking about the astrological signs. Just tell me, will it rain heavily in Youzhou in the past few days?"
Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.
Heavy rain?
Your Majesty has been asking these days, what is this?
Li Chunfeng looked puzzled. He looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "The astrological signs in Youzhou have always been peaceful and there is no sign of heavy rain. Besides, the autumn harvest is coming now, and the weather is hot, so there will be no heavy rain!"
"Are you sure?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, I am sure that there will be no heavy rain in Youzhou!"
Li Chunfeng said in a deep voice.
Through the astrological signs, it is the easiest thing for him to see whether it will rain heavily. It is impossible to read it wrong!
"Your Majesty, it seems that you are too worried. However, if you use all the money to buy food, you won't lose money. Just turn around and let Yao Jin pull it back."
Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.
Li Shimin sighed, "It is best not to rain heavily, and the court can save a lot of money."
"Report! Your Majesty! General Cheng sent a secret message, and a sudden heavy rain fell in Youzhou! Many rivers were blocked and the fields were flooded. Youzhou was destined to have no grains this year!"
At this time, a person ran in outside the Imperial Heaven Prison and knelt on the ground and said loudly.
He was a messenger, and Li Shimin told them that if there was any situation in Youzhou, they would report it in time. Therefore, he did not dare to delay the heavy rain at all, and hurried to report it.
"What! It's already raining heavily in Youzhou!"
Li Shimin said in shock.
Fang Xuanling also widened his eyes. Li Chunfeng just said that there would never be heavy rain, but it started in Youzhou. This is a real slap in the face!
"This! How is this possible!"
Li Chunfeng widened his eyes, unable to believe that this was true.
Li Shimin turned around, looked at Li Chunfeng, and asked, "Li Chunfeng, why don't you look at the astrological signs again?"
hiss!
Li Chunfeng saw murderous aura in Li Shimin's eyes, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and hurriedly said: "Yes! Your Majesty, I! I'll go see it now!"
Li Chunfeng hurried back to the house, knelt on the ground and fiddled for a while, then got up and walked out, kneeled on the ground and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the star constellation in Youzhou has suddenly changed drastically. This heavy rain came too suddenly, and even the ministers did not expect it!"
"I, I deserve to die!"
After hearing Li Chunfeng's explanation, Li Shimin did not pursue the truth or falsehood of what he said, but asked directly: "How long will this heavy rain last?"
"Report to Your Majesty, it will last for at least three days. The grain pellets in Youzhou will not be collected, and the people will live in poverty. Your Majesty is afraid that he will raise the grain as soon as possible and transfer it to Youzhou!"
Li Chunfeng said in a deep voice.
Li Shimin felt like he was struck by lightning inside. His wise son-in-law was right. The name of the God's Concubine is indeed well-deserved!
"Li Chunfeng, you can explain to me what the divine dictator you mentioned last time is from!
Li Shimin said coldly, looking at Li Chunfeng with eagerness!
