Governor Liu Renhuai, Jiangnan, has been in a good mood these two days.

Because the two big landlords in Jiangnan sold a total of three million stones of food to the Governor's Office of Jiangnan.

The price is the seven cents stipulated by Liu Renhuai.

Based on the land size of these two families, this is basically 80% of the total amount of their existing grain and new grain in recent years.

He took out so many in one breath, not only was the people below surprised, but even Liu Renhuai didn't believe it at the first time.

It was not until he received several letters from Fei Ge, confirming that the two manors had transported grain on a large scale and headed to the nearby official granary that Liu Renhuai let out a heavy breath.

When things have come to this point, they think they can't do it.

The game that Liu Renhuai worked hard during this period cost more than 200,000 taels of silver, and finally achieved results.

What surprised him the most was not only the Zhang family and the Ma family themselves, but also the large and medium-sized landlords in Wuxi and Jiaxing, who had already contacted the grain purchase officials he had dispatched to sell the grain to the court.

Wuxi and Jiaxing are both fish and rice towns in Jiangnan, close to Taihu, the largest freshwater lake in Jiangnan.

Taihu Lake, located at the junction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has tens of millions of acres of fertile land around it. This is also the most important grain production area in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Once there is a lack of harvest around Taihu Lake, Jiangnan will definitely not be able to get better.

Fortunately, Taihu Lake is not yet Taihu Lake, which has reduced its area by 90% in hundreds of years. It has powerful adjustment functions and has always benefited the people around it.

Not only grain cultivation, but also fishery resources are the source of abundant fish and rice. In fact, it comes from praise for Taihu Lake.

"Yunxian, looking at the statistics from Wuxi and Jiaxing, he can earn at least another two million stones of grain. It's great!" He held the document and said to a middle-aged man wearing a third-rank official robe next to him.

Liu Renhuai looks majestic, but he is still better than this handsome middle-aged man with a beautiful and handsome appearance.

This handsome man of Fengshen is Su Fengsu Yunxian, the governor of Zhejiang in Jiangnan.

He was three years older than Liu Renhuai and participated in the palace examination in the same class as Liu Renhuai, and was awarded the second list of Jinshi.

He was not as good as Liu Renhuai's starting point, but along the way, he was not only down-to-earth, but also shrewd and capable. So a few years ago, after Liu Renhuai was promoted to the Governor of Jiangnan, he inherited the position of governor of Zhejiang.

After working together for several years, Liu Renhuai has admired Su Feng's ability very much.

Zhejiang has been the best in the world in grain production for several consecutive years, relying on Su Feng's strategy and steadily grasping agricultural production.

When he returned to Beijing last year, Emperor Jinghe asked Liu Renhuai, if you want to return to the center, who will take over your position?

Liu Renhuai didn't even think about it, and he just reported Su Feng's name.

But it's a pity.

Liu Renhuai won’t consider returning to Beijing for two or three years, and Su Feng’s road to promotion can only be waited for another two years.

Su Feng didn't know what Liu Renhuai chose him.

He took the document and looked at it, but his face was very peaceful: "Ling Gong, five million stones of grain are still far from our needs. Moreover, the largest grain merchants and landlords are still indifferent, and their decisions will still affect most people."

"Hey, don't I know?" Liu Renhuai shrugged and said, "But five million stones of food are worth our 200,000 taels of silver, right? Otherwise, I would feel very distressed."

He has a very good relationship with Su Feng, so he never hides it in front of Su Feng, and he is very free and easy.

Su Feng smiled when she heard this: "That's true."

As soon as the words fell, urgent footsteps suddenly came from outside, and then a man in his thirties ran in like a flying one.

"Mr. Ling! Mr. Ling! It's a great joy!" Others were still outside, and a happy voice came into the room, "The Lu family also agreed to sell food!"

The two people in the room were shocked at the same time.

Liu Renhuai was overjoyed when he heard this, "Ziyun, show it to me!"

Gong Caibo handed him the copy of Feige's book in his hand and continued: "The Lu family said that not only will they sell three million stones of grain themselves, but they will also mobilize the landlords around Chaohu to sell grain together."

"good!"

This time, Su Feng also applauded.

Chaohu is a freshwater lake located in Anhui. It is known as the smallest Taihu Lake, which is also a hometown of fish and rice.

Although Anhui suffered disasters this year due to the raging Yangtze River, Chaohu Lake was not affected at all, and it still had a great harvest.

The Lu family, the largest landlord in Chaohu, is based on the Yulin Guard General Jiang Shaoji, who is very proud of himself on weekdays.

Last time Liu Renhuai discussed with them, they firmly disagreed and were venting their anger with the Cao family on Taihu.

Unexpectedly, their attitude suddenly changed drastically.

Liu Renhuai was still curious while looking at the document: "Is there something wrong with this? Why did they all suddenly change a lot?"

"It should be our plan to transport grain to hide the truth, right?" Su Feng guessed.

"It's possible!" Liu Renhuai said with emotion: "His Royal Highness De's wrong idea has always been reliable, and this time is no exception."

Su Feng smiled unconsciously, "Mr. Ling, if Your Highness De finds out about your words, he will never end with you! He is not a good-tempered person."

The first time Liu Mingqi became famous in front of these border officials was naturally the time when he led the crowd to beat Duke Lu.

It's also a bad reputation for becoming famous for the second time.

Although it was to save those poor trafficked women and children, Liu Mingqi killed more than 300 people, setting a record.

If such a prince had not met Emperor Jinghe, if he had not had great talent and had subverted almost all objections with the theory of "sacrificing one's life for justice", he would have been banned long ago.

However, Liu Mingqi is not without effect.

The floral essential oils, soaps, toilet paper, sugar, white rabbit milk candy, honeycomb coal, etc. he invented swept the entire empire.

The Xu family in Jiangnan made a fortune because of such a nephew, and seemed to be the first-class family within a few years.

In general, everyone is willing to regard Liu Mingqi as a practical military advisor, but the one with a relatively irritable temper.

Liu Renhuai smiled and nodded in agreement.

Gong Caibo endured it again and again when he heard this, he finally couldn't help it: "Mr. Ling, Mr. Xian, and King De, who are dedicated to serving the people, regardless of personal reputation, how can such a saint be said to be a bad idea and have a bad temper?"

Although Gong Caibo is almost forty years old, he is still the young man who hated evil and was impulsive when he first met Liu Renhuai more than ten years ago.

As for the murderer, he could calmly face Miao Yan, saying, "Life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want; both cannot be obtained, and so is it that he sacrifices his own life to seek righteousness." Gong Caibo sincerely admires His Highness, the famous saying of the world.

He felt that this was the man who stood upright and stood up, even if His Highness King De was more than twenty years younger than him, he was still a young man.

Therefore, Gong Caibo has always regarded Liu Mingqi as his idol.

Now that he heard the two adults arrange their idols like this, he was of course a little unhappy.

Liu Renhuai smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I know this offended you again, Ziyun, sorry, sorry!"

Seeing his benefactor apologizing so politely, Gong Caibo felt a little embarrassed: "Mr. Ling, I'm sorry, I..."

"Not good!"

He apologized and hadn't spoken yet, another staff member rushed in from outside.

The staff almost fell at the door, but ignored it, "It's not good, Ling Gong, Cao family... Cao family is crazy!"

"Um!?"

Liu Renhuai and Su Feng were both stunned.

What's wrong with this?

Su Feng was closer to him, so he took it over and copied the Feige's letter. He glanced at him in ten lines and smiled contemptuously.

He handed over the document to Liu Renhuai: "Mr. Ling, it seems that God is destined to cause us some trouble! This eldest son Cao is indeed crazy!"

Liu Renhuai took a look and was still a little unbelievable. After reading it a few more times, he handed it to his confidant staff again.

As a result, he had not even spoken yet. Gong Caibo became furious after reading it: "Is Cao Suping crazy? 'Shangguan should not compete with the people for profit, and force the people with power', 'The people in Jiangnan have been simple for a hundred years, and officials are kind, so they must not start with adults'... 'The Cao family has the right to deal with their own food and not be coerced by anyone'... Hahaha!"

After laughing, Gong Caibo said angrily: "This year, disasters have been repeated. Not to mention the heavy snow disasters that have affected five or six provinces, just talking about the flooding of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River this time, more than a dozen provinces have suffered from disasters to varying degrees! In addition, the food deficit of the Ministry of Revenue in the court, the grain storage in our Dakang granary has reached the lowest level.

At this time, it is the time when they should actively support the whole world to overcome difficulties! How can they be so selfish? Is the Great Kang Dynasty in chaos and the war is everywhere, and the food in their hands can be preserved and sold at a high price?"

Therefore, Gong Caibo can only be a scholar, and there is a reason why he cannot become an official.

He scolds him whenever he wants, and says he wants, without any taboo at all.

Such people can't even get out of the Hanlin Academy in the officialdom, so they will wait to do academic research all their lives.

However, neither Liu Renhuai nor Su Feng felt that Gong Caibo was wrong.

He was right.

Then the question is.

Why did Cao Suping do this?

Is he really crazy?

Or is it that he has received the full support of Cao Yi and is going to fight to preserve his family’s property?

Su Feng first shook his head, "It is impossible, a calm person like Cao Xiang cannot let him do this. There must be something that makes him feel confident of victory. We dare not refute him and punish him, so he did this unscrupulously."

"What's the reason?" Liu Renhuai said, pondering.

After a moment, Liu Renhuai raised his head thoughtfully.

"He...he won't find our empty city plan, right?"
