Volume Two, The Heroes Together, Chapter 179, Buying Grain
"So, thank you General Shi... If you don't have the courage of the general, you can't imagine it... Yan doesn't know how to face my widowed mother..." Zhen Yan stood up and bowed to Shi Jin.
Shi Jin stood up in a hurry, bowed and bowed to his fists and said loudly: "When you see unfairness on the road, you will help me, which is where the righteousness is... Mr. Zhen is polite..."
After thanking Shi Jin, Zhen Yan knelt and returned. After all, he was the head of the family, holding thousands of wealth and doing big business. He knew that Xun You must have something to do when he came to the door. After thinking for a while, he picked up the wine bottle and smiled at Xun You opposite him, "Oh, by the way... Uncle Shi, then you wait for my Zhen family, what's the matter?"
As the topic was opened, Xun You naturally said his meaning: "My nephew, I will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Today, we are waiting for Zhongshan, which has come thousands of miles away, and we will have to discuss it with you..."
"Uncle Shi said it's okay... But I will never refuse what my Zhen family can do..." Zhen Yan looked at Xun You with sincerity and spoke boldly.
Shi Jin was overjoyed when he heard this and looked at Xun You.
Xun You looked as usual, his voice was still, and he smiled slightly, bowed and said, "That's thanking me for my nephew... I'm not to hide it. I'm here to buy food..."
"Buy grain?..." When Zhen Yan heard the word "buy grain", his heroic spirit disappeared in an instant, leaving only frowning.
After a while.
Zhen Yan looked up, looked straight at Xun You with his handsome eyes and bowed, "Xun Shi Shu, Uncle Shi has a close relationship with my father, and he has the kindness of saving his sister. In this way, Zhen Yan is willing to produce a thousand acres of good land without purchasing it, but only give it to his uncle, thanking him for his great kindness..."
Ji Kang wrote in "On Health Preservation": "If you plant a field, ten hu of land, it is called fertile land, which is the common name in the world." From this we can see that the yield of fertile land in the north at that time was 10 hu of one acre. The seed of 10 acres of fertile land that Zhen Yan said was 10 hu of grain. Because of friendship, giving 10 hu of grain for free is considered generous, but this is only for individuals. Xun You came here to purchase 100,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 people's food. Ten thousand hu is not very useful, and what he needs is hundreds of thousands of hu.
Xun You waved his hand and shook his head and smiled, "My nephew, I saved Sister Jiang'er, but I just met him on the road. I don't need to worry about it, nor do I want to repay you. These ten thousand hu of food and grass are uncomfortable. It is uncomfortable, one is afraid to bear it, and the other is, even if I bear these ten thousand hu, it is difficult to solve the urgent needs of our army. My Dongping army needs hundreds of thousands of food and grass, and I just hope that my nephew can help me... Well, how much is the price of food and grass? If you say that, you will definitely not lose to me..."
Zhen Yan frowned and smiled bitterly, saying, "Uncle Xun Shi, it's not that I don't sell it, it's just..."
"But why? There is not enough food and grass?" Xun You smiled and twisted his beard, his eyes flashing.
Zhen Yan shook his head.
"Although my Zhen family is not a high-ranking house, it is crowded everywhere, and there are always hundreds of thousands of hu of grain and grass... Is there always 300,000 hu of 300,000 hu? Why don't my brother agree? It's not a big deal to sell 300,000 hu?..." Zhen Tuo couldn't help it, and the crisp little oriole chirped.
"Second sister..." The eldest sister next to her hurriedly reached out to pull Zhen Tuo and whispered.
"What are you doing?... Sister... That's right, why don't we sell our food and grass for our family?... Look, my sister guessed it before the previous episode. My sister said, "I don't believe it yet... Sister, Uncle Shi and General Shi are life-saving to our five sisters..." Zhen Tuo raised his jade hand, shook away his elder sister's pull, and shouted in discontently.
"Second sister... don't mess around..." Zhen Yan slapped the mahogany case heavily, and was shocked by the wine and food on the table, and he fell on the table with a handsome eyebrows, glaring at his eyes, cursing, "Is this when you are talking nonsense? Go out and go back to the room..."
"I won't!" Zhen Tuo raised his long neck and raised his face and shouted, "Why do you want me to leave..."
"Rareless..." Zhen Yan glared at him with a beard.
"Second sister..." The eldest sister Zhen Jiangyou reached out to pull Zhen off her sleeve and comforted her softly.
"Jiang'er...take Tuo'er back to the room... Mi'er, you'll accompany my sister too..." Zhen Yan said with a cold face.
"Yes, brother..." Zhen Jiang stood up, nodded slightly to Zhen Yan, and said softly to Zhen Tuo, "Tu'er, let's go back to the room, don't let Uncle Shi laugh..."
Zhen Tuo stood up angrily, stomped his jade feet, and turned to the back of the hall. Zhen Jiang took his three sisters to Xun You, Shi Jin was slightly blessed and said apologetically: "Uncle Shi, General Shi... Our sisters retreat first..." and then hurriedly walked behind the hall.
"Brother... don't be ungrateful..." The crisp sound of oriole came from behind the hall.
"Uncle Shi...but he made Uncle Shi laugh..." Zhen Yan sighed in regret.
"It's okay...it's okay..." Xun You smiled and said, "I saw Tuo'er being straightforward and kind, but You admired her very much..."
"Shame, ashamed..." Zhen Yan turned his head and looked at the hall and shook his head.
Then, he bowed and said seriously: "Uncle Shi, I will not hide it from it... What the sister said is the truth. My Zhen family can take out 300,000 to 500,000 hu of grain and grass... Alas..." Zhen Yan shook his head and sighed, "Just..."
Xun You listened with a smile.
After Zhen Yan said the word "just", he stopped talking. He raised his glass and said, "Uncle Xun Shi... Uncle Shi is rare to be in my Zhen family. Why should I talk about things urgently? Come, eat wine, eat wine... toast Uncle Shi..."
Xun You smiled slightly, rolled up the Confucian sleeves, and also picked up the bronze bottle in front of several tables, and said with a smile: "Come... drink this cup..."
The two of them looked up and drank.
Unexpectedly, at this time, it was only one person who stood up.
It is Shi Jin.
Shi Jin suddenly stood up, and the continuous armor sounded, and his sword eyebrows were raised, and he shouted: "Shi Jin is a martial artist, he only likes to be refreshed and can't hear the excuses... Mr. Zhen, now I need hundreds of thousands of people in Dongping urgently need food and grass. I have just come to Zhongshan and your Zhen family, and I only hope that Mr. Zhen can help..."
"We won't suffer any losses from your Zhen family. Now we have brought countless treasures. Even though we offer them... why don't we sell them to me Dongping?..." Shi Jin was also very nervous and a little angry.
"Get out... haha... sit down, sit down..." Xun You waved his hand and laughed at Shi Jin, "Get out, but he is anxious. Don't be impatient, don't be impatient..."
Xun You pointed at Zhen Yan and smiled and said, "Get out. The Zhen family has a family friend and I are not a righteous person. You are making things difficult for me," he said this.
Zhen Yanjun's face turned red.
quite a while.
He bowed and sighed, "Uncle Shi, it's not that my nephew won't sell it... It's true... Oh... how to say it..."
"Yuan Shao..." Xun You touched his whisper and said, "It's because of Yuan Shao... the nephew, but that's the case?"
Zhen Yan sighed again with a stern voice.
