The Queen's Guide to Wealth

Chapter 37 Trading
The leading soldier snorted and entered the room with his chin raised.

Xie Xian sat behind the desk, without raising his eyes, he said: "Don't waste time, ask someone surnamed Sun to come and talk to me."

The corners of the soldier's eyes twitched slightly. The surnamed Sun, could it be that he was talking about Sun Guozhan, the grandfather of His Majesty in the future.

These untouchables who do business are really daring, relying on some money and food in their hands, they don't care about dignity.

He, a dignified captain of the capital guarding the army, has never met Dutong. How dare a mere merchant call him Sun without an honorific title?

Although he was a little guilty, he felt much better as he held the saber at his waist.

"Sun Guozhan is the commander of our capital city guards. He is busy with affairs and manages a lot of things every day. How can you see him as soon as you say you see him.

You merchants, you have the heart to destroy me, and you don't know how to be loyal to the country in the face of disasters. You dare to sell grain privately and make money from the country's disaster.

I am here to arrest you national thieves under the order of Sun Dutong. "

Xie Xian ignored him, and just lowered his head to sort out the paperwork on the table. Xie Qiming, who was standing beside him, changed from his usual gentle and gentle attitude, and said with a straight face.

"You, a little school captain, are also worthy of running wild in my Xie family's place.

Those of you who hold your salary and eat the imperial food, will come out to show your loyalty by worrying about the country and the people.

Where were you when the fire burned the city?Locked the four gates of the capital, how many innocent lives were killed?

Don't think that I don't know what you guys are up to. I want food, right? Let the person surnamed Sun talk about it.

If you want to deduct money and food from our Xie family, let's see if you have the ability. "

Xie Xian raised his head and looked at the excited Xie Qiming, feeling that he didn't know the person in front of him.

His son obviously greets everyone with a smile, speaks in a soft voice, even if he is angry, he will control his temper and not show it in front of others. When did he become so strong.

When the captain thought of those big and thick servants in the courtyard, his legs and feet were a little weak for no reason.

It shouldn't be, it doesn't make sense that the people are not afraid of officials. In the past, if they wanted to get some benefits from these merchants, they didn't need such a big show.

Ever since the city gate was closed, he got some news that Dayou was about to change, so he thought it would be good to have a good job and obey the orders from above.

Unexpectedly, a fire that burned the city changed everything.

Some people said that the commander died in the fire, while others said that the commander was only injured, everything is unknown and there is no way to believe it.

The people below are already worried that the jobs in their hands will not be stable.

The food and salaries from the superiors are almost used up. If they don't think of a way by themselves, who will care about their lives at that time.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through the little captain's mind. It was indeed their own idea to come here today to ask for money and food.

But now, hearing the tone of the Xie family, the high-profile distribution of food in the city is obviously not to lure them, such small fish, to fight the autumn wind.

What they want is to negotiate terms with the commander-in-chief. If he makes a fuss, he offends both of them, and the job is destined to be impossible to keep.

He had to think of a way to get out of here completely, his eyes rolled and his tone softened a lot.

"Second master, calm down, I can't help it, there are people above, I can't do it if I don't make this trip.

With so many brothers outside watching, it's hard to justify it if you don't show some morale. "

Xie Xian was silent, Xie Qiming snorted coldly.

The captain went on to say: "Tell the truth to the two masters, I was forced to do nothing, so I brought my brothers to you to beg for life-saving food.

The situation in the city is also clear to the two masters, it is not because we do nothing, the military order is hanging over our heads, if we open the city gate without permission, it will be a matter of losing our heads.

Everyone's situation is the same now, and those surviving disaster victims are living better than us. "

Xie Xian knocked on the table, raised his head and said, "Ah Zhong, let's have some tea."

The atmosphere in the room eased down, the captain secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the chair opposite Xie Xian, and took a sip of the tea brought by Xie Zhong.

Only then did Xie Xian put down the document in his hand, and raised his head to talk to the captain.

"My Xie family has always been law-abiding, and all I do is serious business. Under such circumstances, I can open a warehouse to release food and help the victims. It should be rewarded.

If the captain is really in trouble, it's not that my Xie family can't help, but it's just that we have to say it well.

dont you agree. "

The captain hastily put down his teacup, and kept nodding his head, "That's right, that's right, I'm being arrogant."

Xie Xian raised his hand, signaling to the captain not to be too nervous to continue drinking tea.

"In the past, the business routes of my Xie family were also thanks to the care of the brothers in the city defense, but it is different now, and there is absolutely no reason for giving in vain.

As you know the current situation, I don't have any surplus food at home.

Just now I heard from the captain that he wanted to come to my house to borrow some food, but what happened to the city defense?
Before the fire, your commander bought a lot of food from my Xie family, plus the taxes and food collected this year, how could it be enough to feed you for more than a year, how could you need food to save your life? "

How could Xie Xian not know that the Sun family had no food at all, and how much he bought from Xie's family, he bought it back intact.

He said this because he wanted to get the situation of the city defense out of the lieutenant's mouth. It would be even better if the subordinate soldiers could be dissatisfied with Sun, the great commander, and make trouble among themselves.

Sure enough, after hearing Xie Xian's words, the commander overreacted.

"How come, when the closure order came down, we were only given half a month's worth of food.

Everyone thought it was a special situation, and didn't take it to heart, but the days of changing defenses were over, and no password was passed down from above.

If the commander-in-chief really hoarded food, why would he care about the life and death of us subordinates? "

Xie Xian got up and flicked his shirt: "I don't know about it. The captain is in trouble, and today he begged at my door, so I will help you."

Hua Luo took Xie Zhong and Xie Qiming to go out, and personally stared at the cart full of food and vegetables for the captain, and there was even a basket of fresh fruits that he didn't even dare to think about.

The captain rubbed his hands and couldn't stop thanking him. Xie Qiming ordered eight burly men with solid legs to help escort him.

The captain repeatedly waved his hands and said, "No need."

Xie Qiming just smiled coldly: "As I said, things from my Xie family are not so easy to get.

The eight of them will not come back, the captain understands what I mean? "

The lieutenant smiled wryly in his heart. He just took a bite of the apple, and it became sweet for a moment. He nodded and covered the frame tightly.

After taking the Xie family's cart, he wanted to send these eight people away from the capital.

He didn't have to do these things originally, but now he has to, and he wants to do this even if he doesn't want to.

It would definitely not work to send them out of the city in an open and honest manner. The drainage ditch on the west side of the city might still work.
