    When he heard that Hongtao asked to see her, Chen Chen felt a little surprised. You must know that Hongtao has always been the most well-behaved person in the backyard. Maybe it has something to do with her being born as a slave, but it is indeed Chen Chen's most reassuring  one person!

    "Let her in!" Chen Chen, who was writing the proposal, agreed after a little hesitation!  The manuscript on the desk was not put away, it was still there as it was!

    "Master!" As soon as he entered the door, Hong Tao's eyes immediately scanned the things on the desk, but he immediately restrained his expression and bowed to salute!

    The study can be regarded as a forbidden place in Jia's mansion, at least for the women in the backyard, no one can get close to it. Heart's move can be regarded as the first one!  However, this also surprised Chen Chen. What did this woman who had always been quiet and respectful want to do?

    "Master!" Hongtao saw that Chen Chen was just sitting there, but she never asked any questions. Her heart tightened, and she knew that she had overstepped this time.  He freely explained his plan clearly!

    "You mean, the grain store?" Chen Chen's mind turned, the situation is quite peaceful now, there is no famine or disaster, the grain store is thin and trivial, Chen Chen really has no idea!

    "Yes! My cousin's cousin was originally the shopkeeper of a grain store!" Hongtao explained calmly with her head lowered, "A while ago, he asked someone to bring a letter to my concubine from his hometown.  , which inadvertently mentioned that someone collected a large amount of grain from the village in private, and even raised the price of grain by several percent, which made the business of their grain store a lot worse! He has now resigned as the manager of the grain store,  I want to come to Jinling to join my concubine and sisters. It was originally just a family matter. I thought that if he came, I would just arrange for him to be a guy based on my old love. If not, I would give him some money from my own house to do it  A small business can support a family!"

    Hearts slowed down, and then continued!  "I didn't even think about it! Who knows that when I was talking and laughing with Liu Cui yesterday, I found out that the price of grain outside has also risen a lot. Liu Cui also smiled and said that this year's harvest is good and the price of grain is surprisingly high. The family is earning money.  A lot of money! However, during the Taiping period, the weather is good and the weather is good, and there are bumper harvests everywhere. It stands to reason that the price of grain should drop a little. Why is it so tight? Where did the so much grain harvested at a high price go?  When I thought about it, I panicked, so I hurried to find the master!"

    "Oh?" Chen Chen raised his eyebrows, this is really strange, where did the food that disappeared from the market go?  Who is it that buys such a large amount of food?  What is he going to do with this grain?  These were all unconscious questions in Chen Chen's mind, but he didn't show any expression to Heart, he just asked with a smile, "So, you're just pushing me to open a grain store?"

    "Master, why do you say that about my concubine?" Hongtao felt relieved when she saw Chen Chen's smiling face, and she unconsciously spoke a little coquettishly, "My concubine grew up in a farming family and knew the importance of food since she was a child.  The old man in the family often said that if you have food in your hands, don¡¯t panic! If there is a disaster year, it will be more useful than gold and silver! I thought that there are other things in the mansion! Zhuangzi also has a lot of farmland, so it¡¯s better  It¡¯s better to open a grain store at home! Didn¡¯t the scholars say that before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first? This shows the importance of this grain!¡±

    "I think you just want to arrange a place for your cousin!" Chen Chen glared, and immediately gave an excuse for this matter, "I don't know where I learned these few words to run on me.  You have read a lot and haven't seen you working hard a few times!"

    Heart blushed with shame, half pulled Chen Chen's sleeves and said coquettishly, "Master! You should accept the concubine this time! This is the only cousin in the concubine's family now, and they really can't be left alone.  !"

    "Okay! Let me tell you why you took the initiative to come to see me in the study today, so you know nothing good will happen!" Chen Chen reluctantly agreed, pretending to have a headache, "Isn't it just a few grain stores? Do you need to bother so much?  Let him take a look at his ability, if he is really talented, let him take care of ten or eight families, that's all right!"

    "On behalf of my brother, thank you, Master. I will write to him right away!" Hongtao said, and stepped back happily. People passing by looked at her with unconcealable joy and all speculated that Aunt Xian was the one.  What good thing happened, so happy?

    In the quiet study room, Chen Chen squinted at the leaving figure of Heart, what a smart man!  However, Chen Chen wrote two large words on the paper, Grain and Grass, and he was a little fascinated, who was doing the trouble?  Can't stand it so soon?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
