"Aunt Linglong is too reckless." Lin Jiuxi complained slightly.
After all, this Shibalidian belongs to Zhang Chen. Not to mention that walls have ears, even the proprietress is not one of him.
If the message gets out, no matter what they guess, it will be disadvantageous to our side.
Linglong didn't care about these things, and poured herself some tea. "You are too cautious."
"It's better to be safe than sorry. I'm not like Aunt Linglong, so I have to be more cautious." Linglong is a man of the world, she doesn't care about the fight for the throne, and she has martial arts skills. Even if she is targeted by Zhang Chen, she can run anywhere and Zhang Chen can't do anything to her. Of course, she is free and fearless.
Linglong nodded and said, "That's true, but you have your own intentions."
Lin Jiuxi turned around and asked about the teacher he had asked her to invite for Jiale.
If you just want alms, then just do it yourself. Why bother asking her?

"I don't know if Auntie saw the dead bodies everywhere on the street when she came here. They were so hungry that they could do anything. But I don't think it should be like this. I hope to be able to donate to the soup kitchen."
Linglong disagreed and said, "Then do you know how many poor people there are here? How much silver do you need?"
"Then do you have any ideas?" Linglong quickly added, "We at Linglong Pavilion really don't have any money."
On normal days, we rely on buying food to make a living, and this is even more so in a year of disaster like this.
You have to know that Linglong Pavilion is a gang organization that only does fighting and killing and does not engage in farming.
What woman doesn't love beauty? Even Linglong felt happy when she heard it.
"I don't know either." Lin Jiuxi frowned and said, "But I think no matter how many people can be saved, one day is one day, one person is one person. I can't bear to see that kind of scene. When I think of so many people outside the inn, they can kill each other for a little food, they can sell their children, and they can do anything. I feel like there is a stone pressing on my heart, I can't bear it."
Linglong sneered, "Since you know how to be grateful, I'm already so old, and you still use me like this, it's really too much."
Lin Jiuxi finally felt relieved, "Thank you very much, Aunt Linglong."
After all, their bottom line is really lower. If they are shameless, they can always get more money.
Seeing Lin Jiuxi nod somewhat embarrassedly, Linglong immediately refused, "We in Linglong Pavilion don't have any extra money."
Lin Jiuxi nodded, "I've already inquired about it. Two million taels of silver can provide food for a month. After a month..."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"But there is none." Linglong was determined not to give in, and she tried to persuade her, "You spent so much money, even if you can save this month, what about the next month? In a few months, it will be winter. Now you can still dig up tree bark to eat, and even if you die of bloating from the Guanyin soil, it will take a few days. But if it snows in winter, you will be frozen to death. What will you do then?"
Money is good, but it is useless if you don't have a life to spend it. Who dares to bargain with such a gang? Not only that, even if they sell old rice in exchange for new rice, they are worried about being beaten.
"Enough, if you keep bragging, there will be no cows in the world." Linglong said with a raised lip.
Compared with today, the development of logistics in the past is the most eye-catching.
Of course, even if they are using silver to buy grain now, few rice merchants dare to raise the price.
I heard from the lady boss that Hezhou was not out of rice, the drought was only this year, but Hezhou had been enjoying good weather for many years, so there was naturally some old rice. Logically speaking, with so much old rice stored, Hezhou should not have suffered so much.
But the problem is that all the rice is stored in the homes of the rich, and they naturally would not be generous enough to share the food with the poor.
"You really dare to think so." Linglong's eyes turned and she reacted, "You are not going to ask me to borrow money, are you?"
If Linglong wasn't afraid that Lin Jiuxi would offend the pervert Fan Wuyou, she would have wanted to tell him that the robbery had to be carried out in Wuyou Palace.
On the contrary, they raised the price of rice, making the poor even poorer, but forcing them to spend more money to buy food that was relatively cheap in the past. The rich had more money and more rice.
"It's just a small matter. As for the transmission of information, even if our Linglong Pavilion is not as good as Wuyou Palace, it is still one of the best in the world. These methods of transmission are naturally very simple. As for the packaging of beauties, no one can compare to those brothels. The beauties are plump and thin, each with its own unique characteristics. You just wait and see." Linglong said.
"I already know that. I was just thinking, can we open up a transportation route through Yingfang? Even if we don't have food in Hezhou, the price is too high. But what if we buy it from other places? There may be surplus food in other places, and the price may not be as expensive as it is now." Lin Jiuxi remembered the place called Silk Road in his previous life.
"But..." Lin Jiuxi was unwilling to give up.
"How can that be? To be honest, it can't be considered bragging." Lin Jiuxi changed the subject and said, "But I came here to ask Aunt Linglong to discuss something with you."
Although Linglong Pavilion looks good, when it comes to collecting money, it can't compare to the Wuyou Palace, which is both good and evil.
Linglong disagreed. "Everyone knows that the price of grain in Hezhou is high. But look at those businessmen from far away. They are smarter than monkeys. But do any of them transport grain here to sell? Don't they know that they can make money here?"
"Why is this?" Lin Jiuxi was indeed a little confused.
The grain price in Hezhou was already ten or a hundred times higher than usual. So people from outside only needed to bring in grain and lower the price a little to make a lot of money.
But nothing like that happened.
"The reason is very simple. Why do Zhang Chen and his men stay here and act so arrogantly? In addition to intimidating the villagers, it is also to prevent outsiders from coming in to make money. As long as the Zhang family controls Hezhou, this piece of fat meat will be theirs. Others, even the emperor who is high above, can't control much." Linglong is now determined to pass Linglong Pavilion to Lin Jiuxi. When she talked about this, she was also very detailed. "What's more, these small businessmen? They want to make money, not be hostages who come to their door. Now that the Zhang family controls Hezhou, even if people from Yingfang come, it will be easy for them to kidnap and kill them."
