Chapter 58 Many parties compete
Ma Jin? Chief staff officer of the Grand Prince's Mansion.
The commander of the Bianliang Guards is also the remnant of the eldest prince's forces deployed here.
Yu Yalan had previously read in detail the distribution list of officials in the two places presented by Song Xi, and she knew the identities and intentions of these two people.
It stands to reason that the eldest prince should have investigated the situation in Xianping, and should be well aware of the close relationship between the Yu and Song families, but after he ambushed and suppressed Song Xi, he could still shamelessly come to ask for grain seeds. Such scheming and confidence
It’s really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Oh, no.
How can this besieging formation with troops be considered a "purchase"? This is clearly an attempt to violently coerce the Yu family into compromise. It seems that the eldest prince is determined to obtain high-yielding grains.
Does this count as discussing business? It’s ridiculous!
Yu Yalan glanced coldly at the many soldiers behind him, and said expressionlessly: "The civilian women are scared, and they don't know when they have made the Lord unhappy, leading to such a pitiful end as 'the army is overwhelming the country'. Please tell me clearly."
"
Ma Jin smiled meaningfully and said: "Don't be nervous about Yu Dong's family. I have always had a personal relationship with the commander of the Bianliang Guards. When he saw that I was coming all the way alone, he just showed me the way as a landlord. I heard that he was happy
The Rural Commercial Bank has tens of thousands of kilograms of grain seeds in stock, and I plan to buy them all back to Beijing today. I also ask the Yu Dong family to give me a fair price so that I can go back and explain to the owner."
Fair price? It sounds nice, but it’s just that they want to monopolize all grains at low prices!
At one moment, he pointed out the identity of the military attache next to him, and at the next, he mentioned that he still had a master in the capital. Wasn't it just to hint that she couldn't afford to provoke him and to compromise quickly?
The eldest prince designed a siege to kill Song Xi, causing him to be seriously injured and unconscious in bed. This hatred cannot be resolved, so why should he come to the Yu family to ask for food?
She won't give him a grain of rice husk!
Yu Yalan's eyes were cold, and she was about to deal with Ma Jin and others, when a deep male voice sounded at this moment.
"Ma Juren is so majestic! I wonder what the eldest prince intends to use for purchasing so many high-yielding grains?"
A middle-aged man in official uniform walked into the circle of soldiers, followed by several civilian officials.
Ma Jin frowned and looked up and down the official uniform of the visitor, and asked doubtfully: "Who is your Excellency?"
The middle-aged man stroked his long beard and laughed loudly: "My official, Zheng Xianduo, is the Zuo Shenzhen of the Chief Envoy of Yuzhou. I came here today to talk to the owner of high-yield grain seeds about promoting good things that benefit the people."
The Zheng family? Isn’t that the second prince’s maternal clan?
Ma Jin felt bad. He didn't expect the officials from the Zheng family to arrive so quickly. Before he could completely seize all the grain, the second prince's men immediately jumped out to cause trouble. What bad luck!
Zuo Shenzheng of the Chief Envoy of Yuzhou is an important official with an official rank starting from the third rank. Even though he is an aide to the eldest prince and is accompanied by the commander of the Bianliang Guards, he still has to make some concessions to the Chief Envoy.
Points, what was originally a sure thing suddenly became tricky and troublesome. If this operation failed, how should he explain to the eldest prince?
Zheng Xianduo did not pay attention to the little Ma Juren, but directly explained his intention to Yu Yalan: "Dong Yu's family is young and promising, and they can cultivate a magical grain with a yield of one thousand kilograms per mu, which makes all the lords of the Chief Envoy
We all appreciate it very much. I heard that you have been committed to promoting grain seeds and agricultural tools, and I decided to help you! You will hand over all the grain seeds to us now. In the future, the popularization of high-yielding grain seeds in Yuzhou will also be handled by the Chief Envoy.
The Secretary is fully responsible, so you can just stay in the county and cultivate the next batch of grain seeds."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Yu Yalan with a benevolent expression, as if this was such an honorable gift.
Ma Jin was very angry when he heard this, and immediately retorted: "Business has always been a matter of your own free will. With this attitude of the Participating Lord, is it possible that you want to use your power for personal gain and rob people's wealth?"
The idea of handing over grain seeds instead of promoting them is just to collect all the high-yielding grain seeds without spending any money. When all the grain seeds are handed over, can the people of the Yu family carefully check whether he has done anything?
Doesn’t the final disposition and whereabouts of this grain have to be decided by his Zheng family? How hypocritical!
Zheng Xianduo glanced at Ma Jin with disdain and threatened in a deep voice: "Ma Juren is just a white man. What qualifications does he have to inquire about the affairs of the Chief Envoy? Or is it that the eldest prince wants to ignore the people's livelihood in Yuzhou and forcefully buy all the high-yield grains?"
kind?"
"you……!"
Ma Jin was so angry at his sarcasm that he felt regret and pain in his heart that he could not obtain further academic qualifications. This is why he joined the eldest prince's disciples to seek opportunities to become an official. Even if he does not have an official position now, as long as his highness goes well in the future,
After he ascends the throne, it is not a problem for him to be granted the title of Marquis or Prime Minister. By then, the Zheng family will inevitably die while kneeling down to beg for mercy. What is there to be proud of now!
"Your Majesty's words are wrong."
Lu Tong, the prefect of Bianliang, walked in with a smile, interrupting the tense situation at the scene.
Everyone present was a little surprised and confused. Why did the timid and cautious magistrate in this rumor get involved? Judging from his confident look, it seemed that he came with bad intentions.
"The matter of high-yielding grain seeds is a big one. It is not only related to the people's livelihood in Yuzhou, but also closely related to the people of Zhou Dynasty. His Highness the Third Prince has reported the matter of high-yielding grain seeds to the Ming Emperor, so this batch of grain seeds from the Yu family must be
Submit it to the imperial court, and the emperor will personally decide on the method of distribution and popularization."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then each of them thoughtfully considered the pros and cons of continuing to compete.
Yu Yalan has a headache. These three parties are approaching fiercely. They rely on their respective powers to show off their power in front of the trading house. They don't take into account the thoughts and plans of her party. They are full of conspiracy and calculations for plunder and robbery. The official situation in Yuzhou is really...
It sucks from the inside out!
Fortunately, she has already dispersed most of the high-yielding grain seeds. Otherwise, according to the arrangements of powerful people like them, not a single seed would have flowed into the hands of the common people and farmers.
Now...how should she deal with these giant Buddhas?
Just as Yu Yalan was frowning and distressed, Song Xi and Li Qian arrived quickly and promptly interrupted their pursuit of the Yu family.
"You guys might as well give Mr. Song a bowl of noodles. If you have any important matters, go to the teahouse and discuss them in detail."
Due to the fact that the Dingbei Hou Mansion held a large number of troops, the three parties agreed to go to discuss the matter without much hesitation. Although there was a bit of displeasure and reluctance on their faces, today's matter really had to be resolved by Chou Yinmao, otherwise they would all be dead.
It's impossible to just let it go.
So, under Song Xi's coordination and auspices, Ma Jin, the staff member representing the eldest prince's power, Zheng Xianduo, who represented the second prince's mother clan, and Zheng Xianduo, who represented the second prince's mother clan, and the prefect Lu Tong, who represented the third prince's power, all gathered together to discuss high-yield grain seeds.
’s final destination.
As for Yu Yalan, the holder of the grain seeds?
