Not long after he separated from Mrs.
Meng, Zhao Ziliang met his two guards on the street of Shule City.
Guard chief Chu Ge and other guards were in an inn in the city.
When Zhao Ziliang rushed to the inn, Chu Ge was taking Two people came back from outside.
"Fortmaster, you are back."
When Chu Ge saw two guards approaching with Zhao Ziliang, he immediately raised his hands and saluted.
Zhao Ziliang nodded and asked, "Have you sent someone back to Tuoyun Castle?"
"I sent two people back.
Another subordinate led someone to inquire about the home of Jibam, the grain merchant you mentioned, in the afternoon.
There is already news."
"Oh, in that case, it's not too late.
Let's go visit Jibam now."
Zhao Ziliang said and walked out.
"promise" It was dinner time, and there were more people on Shule King City Street at dusk.
It took Zhao Ziliang a quarter of an hour to find Jibam's house with Chu Ge leading the way.
The shapes and specifications of the houses in Anxi are completely different from those in the Central Plains.
The houses of wealthy people in the Central Plains are all pavilions and attics.
Most of the houses are made of bricks, tiles and wood, while the houses of the poor are made of mud bricks, wood and thatched houses.
In this land of the Western Region, there is less wood.
The houses are basically made of stone and have flat roofs.
The entire city is bare and earthy, with not a single tree or a speck of green in sight.
Jibam is the largest grain merchant in Shule Kingdom, but his house has the same layout.
Zhao Ziliang, Chu Ge and others rode their horses to the door of Jibam's mansion.
As soon as they jumped off their horses, they saw a carriage approaching from the opposite side.
"Hey, aren't those Mrs.
Meng's driver and carriage?"
Zhao Ziconian thought, and saw the carriage stopped, and Mrs.
Meng stepped out of the carriage with the help of the maid Cui'e.
"Madam, why are you here?"
Zhao Ziliang walked over and asked.
Mrs.
Meng did not expect that not long after she separated from Zhao Ziliang, she would meet again here.
She was very puzzled and said: "What happened to the slave family coming here?
How come Zhao Lang is here too?"
Zhao Ziliang's mind turned and he suddenly realized: "Could it be that Madam is also the one who comes to Jibam to buy food?
She knows that the imperial court is going to send troops."
Mrs.
Meng smiled and said: "This matter is not a secret to Bian Lingcheng.
If he knows it, the slave family will also know it.
However, Zhao Lang makes the slave family a little confused.
Today, Lord Dugu, who is a soldier in the guard house, will be assigned to Tuoyunbao.
Zhao Lang shouldn’t have to worry about food and ammunition, so why would he come to Jibam to buy food?”
Zhao Ziliang smiled and shook his head, "Food is one of the most important strategic materials.
Without enough food and grass, the army will not be able to leave.
No matter what time it is, food and grass will never be enough.

It is better to prepare early.
Of course, Ziliang I came here to buy grain this time just to hoard some before the price of grain rose sharply.
I waited for the price to rise to a certain level before selling it out to make a fortune.
But I didn’t expect that my wife had such a keen talent as a merchant and wanted to go to the same place as Ziliang."
Mrs.
Meng also smiled and said: "The slave family never thought that Zhao Lang was also proficient in merchant affairs.
However, business is a humble profession.
Zhao Lang's strengths are military skills, battle formations, and commanding armies to fight for supremacy on the battlefield.
In the future, he will be respected by thousands of people.
General, if you are doing this as a merchant, you will inevitably be criticized.
If Zhao Lang is really short of money and can trust the slave family, how about leaving this business to the slave family and all the money earned goes to Zhao Lang?"
"Then give me all the money you have earned.
Aren't you working hard in vain?"
"Whatever Zhao Lang said comes from me, it belongs to Zhao Lang.
Do you and I still need to distinguish each other?"
Zhao Ziliang bowed his hands and gave a big salute to Mrs.
Meng, and said: "Although Ziliang is not short of money now, the more money the better, take this time as an example.
Master Dugu has withheld my Tuoyunbao weapons, food, and salary. , if Ziliang has enough money, he can ask the people at a critical moment Purchase to meet urgent needs.
Furthermore, there are many people like Bian Lingcheng in the officialdom.
Without money and connections, even if they have military exploits, they may not be able to be promoted smoothly.
Only when they are in high positions can they display their talents and talents.
Ambition Therefore, it is difficult to move forward without money.”
Mrs.
Meng stroked her hair and said with a smile: "The Nu family has followed Bian Lingcheng for so many years, and has seen all kinds of people in the officialdom, and found that most people who are too upright and do not know how to change will not listen to Zhao Lang's words for a long time.
It can be seen that Zhao Lang is not a pedantic person, so the slave family can feel relieved."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and said to Mrs.
Meng: "Ziliang is from the military after all.
If I go out to talk to Jibam, Jibam may notice something.
In order to avoid the news leaking, in this case, then the matter will be closed."
Leave it to Madam.
However, although this Jibam is the largest merchant in Shule Kingdom, he is still just a merchant.
Although he may have a backer, we can completely ignore it and cannot come to discuss this business like this.
I see, We might as well go back to the inn first, and then send someone over to call Jibam to discuss the matter of buying grain.
In this matter, we cannot lose momentum.
When talking about the transaction price, Madam must try her best to The price is kept to the lowest, at least 10% lower than the market price.
We will take as much grain as Jibam has and buy all the grain stored in his warehouse.
If Madam doesn’t have enough money, Ziliang still has a few boxes here.
Gold and Silver Jewelry” Mrs.
Meng's eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "It's just right.
The slave family doesn't have much private money in their hands.
Since Zhao Lang can take part of it, it should be enough to buy grain."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment, pulled Mrs.
Meng aside, and whispered: "What will Madam do with the food and grass from Jibam after she buys it?"
Mrs.
Meng was surprised and said: "Of course we will wait for the price of food to rise and gradually sell it to earn the difference in price increase."

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Madam, you know, if this is the case, then what we earn is the money of the common people.
The higher the price of food, the harder it is the lower class civilians who will suffer.
If madam sells the food to the military, then what we earn is The imperial court’s money, if this matter is found out in the future, trouble will inevitably arise.”
"Zhao Lang cares about the people of Liming and the country.
The slave family admires him very much.
So how should Zhao Lang handle it?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "No matter how high the price of food on the market is, madam, you must not sell it."
Mrs.
Meng frowned and said, "If that's the case, then the food we bought will rot in our hands."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and shook his head, "Madam, what you said is wrong.
When the time comes, I will inform Madam and find a time to sell the grain to Jibam.
How much money we can make this time will all be on Jibam.
It seems that What grain smugglers like Jibam earn are ill-gotten gains.
If we don’t eat meat and drink blood from him, why should we eat meat and drink blood from ordinary people?”
Mrs.
Meng was stunned for a while, then she reacted and said quickly: "According to what Zhao Lang said, isn't Jibam a fool?
If the price of grain is so high, how could he be stupid enough to buy back that batch of grain?"
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Of course he is not stupid.
Not only is he not stupid, he is also very cunning and greedy.
He will certainly not be stupid enough to buy back this piece of food, but someone will force him to ask for food.
If he still wants to continue As a big grain merchant in Shule Kingdom, you can only bite the bullet and buy back the grain."
When Mrs.
Meng heard this, she still didn't understand what was going on.
She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "So this is what Zhao Lang had in mind.
Okay, okay, this is a good idea."
Zhao Ziliang poured cold water on her at this moment: "Madam, don't be too happy just yet.
She hasn't changed her horoscope yet.
We will wait until we buy the grain.
When meeting Jibam, Madam must be careful not to let him see anything."
Clues" "Zhao Lang can rest assured that the slave family will be spared":
