Liu He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you panicking? Does anyone dare to make trouble in Fan Yang?"
"No, not at all!" Gao Wang gasped, holding on to the door frame, "It's a grain truck... The grain truck is here."
"Come as soon as the grain truck comes!" Liu He smiled lightly, shook his head at Gao Wang, and sighed: "You will be the one who will be in charge of big things in the future, but you will be so panicked when things happen. How can you be entrusted with such a big responsibility?"
Gao Wang wiped his sweat, and hurriedly said: "Master, this is not an ordinary grain truck, there are too many...too many!"
"Isn't it just the grain merchants in Jingzhou and Jiangdong?" Liu He raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter how many times he comes, just accept all the orders."
Cheng Yu also calmed down at this moment. With Liu He's courage, he was naturally more fearless. He sneered and said, "Aristocratic and powerful families mostly use land property for profit. This time the general is just teaching them a lesson. Don't panic."
Qiao Yong handed Gao Wang a glass of water, and said with a smile: "Everything is up to the master, we are the master, and we plan for the merchants. We must be calm when things happen, and the Mount Tai collapses in front of us without changing color... ..."
"No, no, it's not those, they come from Hejian," Gao Wang waved his hands repeatedly, interrupting everyone, and finally calmed down a bit, and said loudly, "It's the property purchased by His Majesty Hejian!"
"What?" Liu He was taken aback, stepped forward and asked, "Is it His Majesty's food? How much is there?"
"A convoy that is ten miles long..." Gao Wang was about to cry, "I'm afraid it's worth a million shi!"

The tea bowl in Liu He's hand fell to the ground.
bang bang——
The cup in Qiao Yong's hand also hit the threshold, and the water spilled all over the floor.
"Oh, this, this...something is not good."
Cheng Yu had a few more beards in his hands, and exclaimed.
All of a sudden, needles could be heard in the entire government office, and everyone had different expressions. No one thought that this matter would alarm Liu Hong, who loves money as much as his life.
Damn it, mess it up!
Liu He took a few steps back and sat weakly in his chair.
He didn't hesitate to offend the aristocratic family to save money and food, but who would have thought that Emperor Ling would also intervene, this was an existence he could not afford to offend.
The majestic emperor actually came to earn money from his ministers, and moreover, it was to replenish the treasury. How dare he come to earn money?
Moreover, it costs a million stones, and the output of Youzhou is not that much. He doesn't even think about it, Youzhou doesn't have that much money?
Liu He didn't expect that Liu Hong bought a private house in Hejian, saved so much food, and so many people went into exile and starved to death. It's ridiculous that he didn't see him take it out for disaster relief, and sell it for money at this time.
But thinking of what Lingdi has done over the years, it is nothing. What matters right now is how to collect so much food?
Cheng Yu turned around stiffly, and asked, "One million stones of grain, one stone of one thousand dollars, how much...how much?"
"Hiss..." Liu He gasped, and Emperor Ling sent someone to sell the grain. The price of grain can't just drop, it's a huge astronomical figure.
Qiao Yong leaned against the threshold, his face turned pale, and he said slowly: "Ten, ten, one hundred thousand... ten thousand!"
"Yes, one hundred thousand—" Gao Wang knelt on the ground, wanting to cry without tears, and wailed: "My lord, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
One hundred million is one billion. Liu He's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of how many zeros there were behind it.
After being stunned for a while, he licked his dry lips and looked at Cheng Yu: "Sir, is there a countermeasure?"
"Me? Forgive me for my incompetence," Cheng Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Maybe...ask Tian Yuanhao?"
"Yuan Hao is too upright, so don't ask him about this!" Liu He shook his head feebly, trying to calm himself down, after thinking for a while, he stood up and said, "I'll go to Lu Gong, he may have a solution."
Lu Zhi is not a traditional master of Confucian classics, he also has a lot of research in business, which can be seen from teaching Liu Ping.
Moreover, this matter was so serious that Liu He did not dare to go to Liu Yu. He would definitely get scolded, but the problem could not be solved. The only thing he could hope for now was his father-in-law who was a little flexible.
Ask Cheng Yu and others to contact Zhen Yao and Zhang Shiping immediately to sell the grain as soon as possible in the next few days to lower the price of grain. In addition, Han Dang was ordered to strengthen patrols to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
After hastily making arrangements, Liu He immediately rushed to Beixincheng. Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan were arranged in the middle of the school, also to avoid being affected by this incident. Beixincheng was also very lively at this time.
He rushed to the residence without stopping, but saw Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan were accompanying a thin and elegant old man, this man was in his fifties, but his beard and hair were all gray, and he looked much older than Lu Zhi who was about the same age.
"Oh, my good son-in-law is here just in time. Come and pay homage to Cai Zhonglang." Before Liu He could reply, Lu Zhi spoke first.
Cai Yong finally arrived in time, Liu He was startled, and stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty has heard of Cai Gong's name for a long time, and I would like to ask His Majesty to pardon you, and you will write a book in the academy. You will not blame this junior, will you?"
Cai Yong caressed his beard with a smile, nodded his head and said: "The gentleman is a man of righteousness. This move is a great achievement for thousands of years. I should thank you for this old man."
Liu Helian said he didn't dare. Although he was very anxious, he had to exchange some pleasantries with Cai Yong. It turned out that Cai Yong was hiding in the Zhang family to avoid chaos in Jiangdong. This time he came to Zhuo County with the Zhang family's caravan.
After all, Lu Zhi was a sophisticated man. He soon noticed that Liu He was absent-minded and asked, "Boxing, I see that you look anxious. Could it be that you have something to do with me?"
"I'm indeed looking for my father-in-law again, but..."
"But it's okay to say it!" Lu Zhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "These two are more knowledgeable than I am. If you have any difficult things to understand, just say it in public."
One of these two is his younger brother, and the other is his best friend. Lu Zhi is not an outsider at all, thinking that Liu He is going to do something to make him look good, so it would be good if we discuss it together.
"Uh, ahem..." Liu He smiled awkwardly, "Don't be angry if you tell my father-in-law."
"What are you talking about?" Lu Zhi was the leader of the army after all, with a bold temperament, he said dissatisfiedly, "You and I have the friendship of husband-in-law and mentor-student friendship. We are all a family, why bother to see outsiders?"
Liu He looked at Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong, who were elegant and calm, and briefly talked about the harvesting of grain in Fanyang in front of the three giants of Han Shilin.
As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhi stood up, pointed at Liu He and cursed: "You bastard, you you you...you are digging your own grave."
"This, this, how to do this?" Zheng Xuan shook his head and sighed: "Generals rarely have great names, and the world praises them. Isn't this a breach of trust?"
Cai Yong didn't know Liu He very well, looked at him in surprise, then heaved a long sigh, shook his head and said, "This move is tantamount to taking chestnuts out of the fire, but alarming Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will burn you!"
"Get out, get out, I don't have a son-in-law like you!" Lu Zhi's face turned red, he cursed endlessly, and was about to hit someone with his hand.
"Father-in-law, you must help me!" Liu He knew that Lu Zhi was angry, more because he didn't have a good face in front of his friends. He shrank his neck and begged for mercy: "If father-in-law doesn't save me, my son-in-law will have no choice but to go."
"Hmph, it's not good for you to offend anyone, but you just offended him..." Lu Zhi snorted angrily, and turned his head away.
Money is a hard commodity. If you don't have it, you won't have it. It's hard for him to deal with it for a while.
"Master, Uncle Lu Shi, I...have a plan to resolve this matter."
At this moment, suddenly a young man behind Cai Yong stood up and saluted Lu Zhi and Liu He.
