Chapter 1054 Borrowing Food
The man seemed to see through Zhang Juexia's thoughts, "Madam Ye, this letter is really written by Lord Ye. We don't have the courage to force him. He is now...
Well, whatever Lord Ye wanted to say must have been said in the letter.
Well, Madam Ye, please take a good look first!"
Zhang Juexia sat down following the man's gesture. Her heart had been in her throat for a long time, but she still pretended to be calm and opened Ye Beixiu's letter.
The more she looked at it, the more confused she became. It turned out that this man had done such a big thing behind her back.
But this?
Before this, she had some guesses, but they were ultimately off the mark.
He is so brave...
After Zhang Juexia finished reading the letter in one breath, she couldn't hold it anymore and put the letter on the table with trembling hands.
The man kept staring at Zhang Juexia, thinking to himself, this woman is indeed not simple as they said.
After reading such shocking news, I didn't faint from fright.
That's quite courageous!
Zhang Juexia calmed himself down, ignored the man's gaze, and then picked up the letter from Master Zhou and started reading it. Ye Beixiu had already laid the groundwork before, and Master Zhou's letter was very brief, just asking to borrow grain.
Zhang Juexia didn't know whether to cry or laugh. If she had known this earlier, she would not have shown off her wealth.
If she lends out the grain, what will the people in the village eat?
If this war goes on forever, then those who follow her will suffer.
Zhang Juexia was struggling, but the man said, "Madam Ye, our master wouldn't ask for this unless it was absolutely necessary.
But if the State of Chen does not subdue them, they will continue to cause trouble.
Therefore, my master's intention is to beat them to his heart's content and make them convinced.
My master had already submitted a memorial to the court, but no one paid any attention.
My master had no choice but to go to great lengths to borrow food from everyone.
Don't worry, my master is not only borrowing grain from you, he has also thought of all the important figures in the entire Zhou Dynasty.
This time, it depends on whether you can understand the current situation."
Zhang Juexia understood what the man meant, which was that it was already good enough for her to catch Mr. Zhou's eye.
If she doesn't know the situation and makes things worse, it will be her fault.
"Sir, let me ask you, does your master really care about the people of the world?"
The man raised his head proudly, "That's right, my grandfather gave up everything for the sake of the stability of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty..."
Well, anyway, Madam Ye, you may not believe what I say, but you should trust your husband and Doctor Liu's judgment!"
“Okay, I’m all for it.
I have an escort agency here, and the escorts there are all brave men. Let them help you, and the food will be delivered safely."
The man's eyes widened. He really didn't expect that Mrs. Ye in front of him would agree so quickly.
He had prepared a lot of words. Before coming to Mrs. Ye, he had visited many places. Those people talked to him about many conditions before he reluctantly agreed.
How come when it came to her, she agreed without any conditions being mentioned or any words being said by him?
Zhang Juexia forced a smile, "Sir, are you a little disappointed?
Your eloquent tongue has no place to be used."
“I guess so!”
Zhang Juexia stood up and said, "You have come from far away, you probably haven't eaten yet, right?
I will have someone prepare food for you, and then help you arrange the transportation of the food.
Don't worry, with my escort agency, we can help you transport food safely from other places."
The man bowed solemnly to Zhang Juexia and said, "Thank you very much!"
After Zhang Juexia went out and arranged the meals, he asked Lai Xi to call Qin Eryong.
After hearing what Zhang Juexia said, Qin Eryong was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Eryong, let me ask you, do you believe me?"
Although Qin Eryong felt that this was inappropriate, he still nodded reluctantly, because he had indeed benefited from following Zhang Juexia for the past few years, and he had no reason to object.
Besides, they were selling their own grain, so it seemed like he had no say in it.
"Sister-in-law, I'll make the arrangements."
"As for Yejia Village, Jinshui Town, and Shunhe County, only keep enough for the second half of the year. Let Brother Ren and his men transport the rest to Qingfeng City and sell them.
Don't let Brother Ren go for this matter. Let him arrange for the right people to go back.
Ask Brother Ren to come to my place. I've found him a great business that will make him a lot of money. Ask him to come quickly."
Qin Eryong was completely confused and bewildered. His mind was in a daze. He wondered in his heart, could it be that his sister-in-law really had supernatural powers?
She hadn't even left the house, so how did she manage to get such a big deal for the escort agency?
Seeing that he hadn't moved, Zhang Juexia hurriedly urged him, "Eryong, are you stupid? People paid a high price to buy our food.
We have to find someone to transport it out!"
"That's right! Sister-in-law, I'll go do it right away."
"Also, when you return to Shunhe County and Jinshui Town, ask those wealthy families if they have any grain to sell.
If they sell it, we will take it back.”
"Sister-in-law, I know what to do.
Then we can make some profit from the difference.”
"Okay, at this time, food is used to save lives, so the price difference is not a big deal.
You have brought enough silver."
"knew."
After those people had eaten and drunk their fill from Zhang Juexia's place, they went to the next place.
Zhang Juexia made an appointment with them to come back the next afternoon.
After these people left, Zhang Juexia read Ye Beixiu's letter over and over again. After finishing, she put the letter away and said, "You are in Qinglan City now. In order for you not to starve, I have to help them transport food and grass to Qinglan City.
I hope you return triumphantly soon."
When Li Yun learned that Ye Beixiu had sent a letter back, he looked at Zhang Juexia eagerly, "Madam, did those two brats of mine send any letter back?"
"Sister-in-law Yang, my husband said in the letter that both Big Cow and Second Cow are doing well!
Because time was tight, he didn't ask them to write to you."
Li Yun looked outside with some disappointment. Zhang Juexia could understand her mood, "Sister-in-law Yang, I really didn't lie to you. When Da Niu and Er Niu come back, they will give you a big surprise. Just wait!
Also, Taohua will be here with the escort agency people almost tomorrow."
Li Yun's face finally showed some joy. "Madam, that's great. When Taohua comes, I will let her take care of the kitchen. Then we can all have delicious meals."
Speaking of food, Zhang Juexia nodded in approval, "You know what, Taohua's cooking skills are really good."
"Big sister, you called me here in such a hurry just to let me taste the delicious food?"
