Chapter 180 Ouyang Lun took action and scared everyone! (Please subscribe!!)
go? The fool is leaving! Tang He, Wu Jingzhi, Li Fuyuan, and He Fang all want to know how Ouyang Lun will handle such a difficult situation in Guangdong, and Ouyang Lun just said that he has a big business!
The four of them have also been in contact with Ouyang Lun for a lot of time, and they know very well that if Ouyang Lun can call it a big business, this matter must not be simple, and they may be able to seize business opportunities if they stay.
As a result, even though they knew that Ouyang Lun had issued an order to expel guests, Tang He and others took root in their feet and showed no intention of leaving.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts a bit, I'd better sit down first before leaving." Tang He hugged his stomach and sat down directly while talking.
"Why do my legs hurt? I'm old. I can't even walk after standing for a long time. I have to sit for a while." Wu Jingzhi pretended to be unsteady.
"Master Wu, these legs are very important. Rest quickly and I'll help you!" Li Fuyuan quickly supported Wu Jingzhi, and the two of them sat down with support.
Facing the three people's performance, Ouyang Lun watched it without revealing it, and then looked at He Fang who was still standing, with a meaningful meaning, as if to say to Mr. He, what's wrong with you! ? He Fang was also a little embarrassed. He was in his prime, tall and strong, and had no physical problems. After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a good excuse, so he simply sat down and said, "I'm afraid of being alone. If they don't leave, I won't." Don’t leave!”
Damn, I don’t even want to leave, I’m waiting to see the show!
Ouyang Lun didn't bother to worry about it anymore. Anyway, what he was going to do later wasn't anything shameful. If you want to see it, go ahead and see it.
After a while.
Zhao Tianming came in with the top shopkeepers from Zhonghua Grain Industry, Heping Pharmaceutical Industry and Zhangji Cloth Industry. He was also shocked when he saw Ouyang Lun, Tang He and others sitting in the hall.
The big shopkeepers of these three trading companies are all smart people, so they naturally recognize the five people in the hall. It can be said that these five people are the people who stand at the top of Beizhili. They can decide their future life with just one word. It's scary. Pay homage quickly.
"The common people have met Mr. Ouyang and all the other gentlemen!"
Ouyang Lun waved his hand, "I called you here today because I have important arrangements. Are you willing to contribute to the court?"
The big shopkeepers of the three trading companies looked at each other. Shopkeeper Mao from Zhonghua Grain Industry immediately stood up and said: "The success of Zhonghua Trading Company depends entirely on Mr. Ouyang's promotion and support. If Mr. Ouyang has anything to do, just ask him, and I will do my best!"
"The same goes for Heping Pharmaceutical!"
"And I, Zhang Jibuye, am honored to be able to participate in Master Ouyang's plan!"
"Very good." Ouyang Lun smiled and nodded.
Tang He and the other four couldn't help but feel a little envious when they saw the attitude of the big shopkeepers of these three trading companies. Ouyang Lun's prestige among the common people was extremely high, but his prestige among businessmen was even higher!
Ouyang Lun didn't even say what he wanted to do, but these businessmen who originally put their interests first agreed to it without even asking.
If this were placed elsewhere, it is estimated that this time he would either refuse or find various reasons to refuse. Even if he agreed, he would ask for various benefits.
"To tell you the truth, I have just received an imperial decree from His Majesty the Emperor, asking me to go to Guangdong to deal with the epidemic. Before I leave, I need you to do something for me." Ouyang Lun said slowly.
"Please give me your orders, Lord Ouyang!" the three shopkeepers said in unison.
Ouyang Lun nodded, "China Grain Industry needs to prepare enough food. The food doesn't need to be too good. It has to be mixed with some fine sand and rice bran. It just doesn't kill people. The price is calculated according to normal food and must not be increased. If there is If profiteers raise the price, then we will lower the price! If the other party can't bear the price reduction, we will eat it immediately, and then mix the grain, fine sand and rice bran together!"
"yes!?"
Shopkeeper Mao Da nodded habitually, but soon realized something was wrong. He raised his head and looked at Ouyang Lun with confusion.
"Master Ouyang, since this is disaster relief, is it too much for us to do this?"
Although he knows that Mr. Ouyang is a corrupt official, he would not dare to do such a conscience-stricken thing by tampering with food for disaster relief! Of course, Shopkeeper Mao did not dare to say this in front of Ouyang Lun, but his eyes were full of Shock.
When Tang He and others heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
"Master Ouyang, you must not do this! What your Majesty hates most is greed. Now that you are tampering with the relief food, if your Majesty finds out, it will be a big deal." Wu Jingzhi said with sweat on his forehead.
"Master Ouyang, is this the big business you are talking about!?" Li Fuyuan's eyes widened in disbelief, "I suddenly heard that there were still many official matters to be handled in the Yamen, so I left first."
OMG!
It's big business here and there, it's clearly a reminder!
"Lord Ouyang, I heard that Beiyuan has been making a lot of noise recently. I'd better go back to the guardhouse to keep an eye on it and leave first!" He Fang also stood up and planned to leave with Li Fuyuan.
The grain is mixed with sand and rice bran, and is priced using normal grain. You can make money without even thinking about it, but you can make money with life, but you don't know if there is a life flower! slip away.
Tang He pointed at Ouyang Lun's nose angrily, "Ouyang Lun, you must have disappointed me too much!"
"I originally thought that although you love money, you still have a bottom line and can withstand the temptation of money. At the same time, you are still a person who does practical things for the people."
"But today, you really disappointed me."
Um! ? ? Seeing the reactions of Tang He and these people, Ouyang Lun also looked helpless, "Everyone, haven't you ever provided disaster relief?"
"Guangdong is a populous province with more than 300 million people. Nowadays, the fertile fields in Guangdong are abandoned and the food harvest is poor. How much food and drink do these 300 million people have every day? Although there is a surplus of food in Beizhili, it also supports the people of Beizhili and Guangdong. How long can the people consume it?"
"After all, we are here to provide disaster relief, not to provide welfare. First of all, ensuring that the people do not starve to death as much as possible is the top priority. Is it possible that we have to provide seafood to the victims in order to provide disaster relief? abalone?"
"Don't worry, it's just mixed with some fine sand and rice bran, it won't kill anyone."
"Of course, we have to prepare some good rice to give to doctors, officials and soldiers. If they don't eat well, how can they have the strength to do things for us?"
Holy shit! ! Ouyang Lun's words immediately put Tang He and others out of control, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Ouyang Lun seemed to be right.
When providing disaster relief and rescuing people, isn't it necessary to save the lives of the people and not let them die, but not let them cause a big mess? This move is really surprising.
Li Fuyuan, who had already reached the door, stopped and walked back slowly.
"Master Li, isn't he busy going back to handle official duties? Why are you back again?" Ouyang Lun joked.
"Hey, I suddenly remembered that those official duties were taken care of yesterday. I don't need to go back for the time being. My stomach still hurts a little, so I'd better sit down." Li Fuyuan smiled awkwardly and continued to sit down.
"Master He, why didn't you sit down if you weren't going to stare at Bei Yuan?" Ouyang Lun said with a smile.
"Bei Yuan is a fool! If they dare to come, I will easily kill them. Now I still want to learn more from Master Ouyang." He Fangying said with a smile. "My dear nephew, my uncle just wronged you. Don't take it to heart." Tang He said awkwardly, "But you sold grain mixed with sand and rice bran to the imperial court. If His Majesty finds out about it, he will probably also I won’t spare you.”
Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "Second uncle, I heard that the price of food in Guangdong Province has increased tenfold. The imperial court spent 400 million, but the result was just barely stabilizing the situation. We only sell it at the normal price and mix in some sand." , rice bran, this is called spending a small amount of money to do big things! We can’t let the people of China Grain Industry work in vain.”
"If anyone has any objections, let them go to the disaster relief work themselves."
Once he said such domineering words, no one in the hall questioned him.
Shopkeeper Mao Da of Zhonghua Grain Industry understood this and nodded heavily, "Please rest assured, Mr. Ouyang, I will complete it with quality and quantity!"
Then turned around and left.
Ouyang Lun then looked at the shopkeeper Zhao Da of Heping Pharmaceutical. Before Ouyang Lun could speak, shopkeeper Zhao Da immediately said: "Please don't worry, Mr. Ouyang. I also got a lot of useless medicinal materials. I will definitely not kill anyone!"
Hearing this, Ouyang Lun gave Shopkeeper Zhao a slap in the face, "The medicine is also fake. Do you have any conscience?"
Ah! Shopkeeper Zhao sat down on the ground with a confused look on his face, "Master Ouyang, I..."
"What am I! I'm telling you, take out all the medicinal materials in stock. The medicines must be effective and must be high-quality!" Ouyang Lun said loudly: "If there is any problem with the medicines by then, come and see us!"
"Yes, it must be done!"
"roll!"
"Hey!" Shopkeeper Zhao was so frightened that he rolled away and crawled away.
Ouyang Lun looked at shopkeeper Zhang Da of Zhang Ji Cloth Industry again, "Zhang Ji Cloth Industry is the largest cloth merchant in the entire Yong'an Prefecture. Next, I need you to use cloth to make masks and protective clothing. I will let someone tell you the production method later. You guys, you must produce it with the best quality in the shortest possible time!”
"Yes!"
Shopkeeper Zhang Da left quickly after receiving the task.
Time passes day by day.
Nearly a month has passed since Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Ouyang Lun to deal with the "Guangdong epidemic".
During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang was always worried, fearing that the epidemic in Guangdong would not be controlled and spread to other provinces.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Lu Chang, Guo Zi and other chief officials of the six departments have been discussing countermeasures and waiting for news from Guangdong. The atmosphere is still relatively depressing.
At this moment, Jiang Wei hurriedly walked in.
"Jiang Wei, is there any news from Guangdong?" Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly.
With a happy face, Jiang Wei raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Consort Ouyang has arrived in Guangdong, and now both the victims and the epidemic in Guangdong have been brought under control, and various materials are being continuously shipped into Guangdong!"
As soon as this word comes out.
Including Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony had a look of surprise on their faces! "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the situation in Guangdong is finally under control!"
"Consort Ouyang is really talented. He took control of the situation as soon as he arrived in Guangdong. It won't take long to completely solve the epidemic problem in Guangdong!"
“I really chose the right person this time!”
Facing the praises from the ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang was still very satisfied and his face looked much better.
"Ouyang Lun, this kid really lived up to our expectations, well done!"
"Ha ha!"
After laughing, Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously: "Jiang Qi quickly explained in detail what Ouyang Lun did after arriving in Guangdong. He accomplished something that even Li Shanchang could not do in a short time! "
Not only Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to know this question, but even ministers such as Lu Chang and Guo Zi were also very curious.
Jiang Wei said quickly: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Prince Consort Ouyang immediately started to deal with it after receiving the imperial edict, asking the merchants of Yong'an Mansion to prepare food, medicine and epidemic prevention materials."
"Not bad, not bad. Ouyang Lun did the right thing before the three armies moved forward with food and grass!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, "Food is the most important thing. How about the food Ouyang Lun prepared? Is it coarse grain or polished rice?"
When Jiang Wei heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question, he hesitated for a moment, but said truthfully: "Your Majesty, what Ouyang Prince Consort feeds the people in the disaster area is food mixed with fine sand and rice bran."
what! ?
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, full of disbelief, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, "Tell me again, what kind of food did Ouyang Lun use for disaster relief?"
"It's grain mixed with fine sand and rice bran," Jiang Wei said carefully.
boom! Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the dragon case hard and said angrily: "What the hell is Ouyang Lun doing! Can food mixed with fine sand and rice bran be eaten?"
Jiang Wei continued: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Prince Consort Ouyang also has an explanation for this matter. Special measures are taken during special times. The situation in Guangdong is complicated. Among the millions of people, some are really in need of relief, and some are pretending to be disaster victims to eat and drink. There is no way." We identified them one by one and found that although the grains mixed with fine sand and rice bran are unpalatable, they are undoubtedly life-saving items for the real victims. Only in this way can we ensure that these disaster relief grains can reach the victims who really need them."
"You bastard, this guy is actually so arrogant!" Zhu Yuanzhang was completely furious at the moment and couldn't think calmly at all.
"Jiang Wei, you still know what that bastard Ouyang Lun said and did!"
"Back to Your Majesty, Prince Consort Ouyang also said that it doesn't matter if the victims of the disaster barely eat. As long as they are alive, they can live a good life in the future. In this way, there is no need to worry about insufficient food. These foods are cheap food to avoid the waste of the court's disaster relief funds. It can crack down on those unscrupulous merchants who are raising prices crazily." Jiang Wei replied quickly.
"Fair-priced grains are not bad. Wait, Ouyang Lun actually sold grains mixed with sand and rice bran to the court at a fair price!!!" Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his mouth twisted, "Corrupt officials! Corrupt officials who are greedy and greedy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took two deep breaths, stared at Jiang Yu and said, "Keep talking!"
"Your Majesty, although Prince Consort Ouyang distributes food mixed with sand and rice bran to the victims, he provides officials, soldiers, and doctors with first-class fine food. There is also a constant supply of various meats, seafood, etc.! Shout! The slogan is, eat well before you can work!"
Jiang Wei continued.
Um! ? ? Zhu Yuanzhang, Guo Zi, Lu Chang and others were all stunned. (End of this chapter)
