Chapter 364 Song Dashan


    This time Qin Qi went out.


    Brought back another person.


    Qin Qi saluted Song Jin and said, "Madam, when I went to the trading company, I met shopkeeper Tao. He was very worried when he heard that you were attacked and said that he would come to visit you specially."


    "Where is the person?" Song Jin asked.


    Qin Qi replied respectfully: "Just wait outside."


    "Invite him in." Song Jin said.


    Qin Qi went out in response, and after a while he came back with the slightly fat shopkeeper Tao.


    Shopkeeper Tao bowed respectfully when he saw Song Jin, "I''ve met Madam."


    "No need to be polite, shouldn''t you be in the capital at this time? Is there something wrong when you suddenly appear in Huai''an?" Song Jin asked suspiciously.


    Shopkeeper Tao was frightened when he heard that Song Jinniang and his wife were attacked. He breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that they were fine. Now he felt even more relieved when he saw that Song Jin was unharmed.


    "Madam, there''s a fight in the northwest."


    Shopkeeper Tao looked solemn and sad, "In this battle, the Northwest Army suffered a tragic victory. More than 30,000 soldiers were killed and injured. General Ling was preparing food and grass in the capital. The first batch was sent over. It is estimated that it is still on the way now. More follow-up It’s not easy to make preparations. The young master asked our business to prepare and buy grain privately and send it to the northwest.”


    At present, the commercial bank is making every effort to mobilize money and prepare grain, grass and medicinal materials.


    Song Jin asked: "Did things go smoothly on your side?"


    "There is no problem with the medicinal materials. Brother Xing has left all the medicinal materials for us, but it is not easy to prepare food." Shopkeeper Tao respected Song Jin quite a lot, so when she asked, he explained the problem.


    The trading house encountered difficulties in preparing grain and grass.


    When they heard about the war, grain merchants either raised prices or excused themselves by saying there was no extra grain. There are also some grain merchants who not only do not sell grain, but continue to hoard grain at high prices.


    Natural disasters and wars can easily lead to chaos.


    Grain prices will definitely rise during this period, and grain merchants will start to wait for the price.


    Song Jin was helpless about this.


    You can''t force people to sell food.


    Immediately, Song Jin asked: "How much food do you still lack? I still have some in my hand."


    Shopkeeper Tao''s eyes lit up when he heard this, "Young Master said, the more, the better. There is no upper limit. You can pay a higher price if necessary. This is life-saving food."


    "Okay, I happen to have a big granary here in Huai''an, but there isn''t much new grain in it, most of it is old grain."


    Shopkeeper Tao was surprised when Song Jin said these words.


    Shopkeeper Tao asked again: "It doesn''t matter if you have old grains, as long as you can eat them."


    Song Jin immediately wrote a letter, stamped it with the Song clan seal, and handed the letter to Shopkeeper Tao, "Take this letter and go to the clan leader of the Song clan branch in Huai''an. He will take you to the granary, but I hope that when you move the food, you will leave 10% for the Song family''s emergency support."


    "Ma''am, you are just."


    Shopkeeper Tao was excited and grateful.


    How much grain does a big granary need? Usually it is based on ten thousand stones. Needless to say, it can definitely solve the urgent needs of the northwest.


    The large granary set up in Huai''an was actually not Song Jin''s own layout, but something that the Song family had already had. The direct descendants paid for it and the side branches were responsible for guarding it.


    Song Jin also came into contact with the clan members of Wei''an Mansion.


    The chief of the Huai''an branch told this.


    Shopkeeper Tao really respects Mrs. Song Jin. When the young master first got married, he was very resentful of Old Qin and decided the young master''s marriage inexplicably.


    Unfortunately, his son had no choice but to accept the marriage in order to hide his background.


    In the eyes of shopkeeper Tao, Song Jin is not worthy of Qin Chi.


    After getting along gradually, Shopkeeper Tao gradually changed his view of Song Jin. In fact, he still felt that Qin Chi had been wronged to some extent. It was only now that Shopkeeper Tao recognized Song Jin.


    Needless to say, a wife who can often help the Northwest Army has a good character. At least she is better than countless women in terms of justice.


    Shopkeeper Tao picked up the letter and bowed deeply to Song Jin before leaving. "Tao is here to thank Madam for the soldiers in the northwest." "What are you doing here? I''m just doing my best." Jin waved his hand and motioned for him to go ahead and get busy.


    Shopkeeper Tao left in a hurry.


    Qin Qi also bowed deeply to Song Jin before retreating outside the house.


    It was not that Song Jin had never opened a granary during the disaster relief in Taihu Lake. The grain given to Qin Chi at that time was given by the government at par, not free.


    At that time it was just a medium-sized granary.


    Huai''an Prefecture has a large granary, and Song Jin donated 90% to the Northwest Army free of charge. This move is unique among ordinary grain merchants who raise prices.


    This matter was resolved a few days later.


    Song Jin took his children and set off secretly to the capital.


    After they left.


    A rumor spread in Huai''an, which shocked the entire Huai''an mansion. It was said that the war drums in the northwest were thundering and the sky was full of war.


    Song Huaijin, a wealthy medicinal merchant, generously donated tens of thousands of dan of grain to support military supplies.


    Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!


    As soon as the news came out, it was like a spring breeze passing through the wilderness, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the people in Huai''an, and there was a lot of discussion, and everyone was moved by the righteous deeds of "Song Huaijin, the boss of Jifang".


    Not many people knew about "Song Huaijin", but they did know about the existence of "Jifang Pharmacy".


    Jifang Pharmacy has a good reputation in Huai''an.


    This time it is even better, and even the Song clan members in Huai''an have benefited from being invisible.


    "Dong Song''s family is really kind-hearted!"


    "Yes, for being so generous, I''m afraid even the gods would praise you!"


    "The soldiers in the northwest protect our family and the country, and protect the peace of our side. I heard that Song Dashan did not want to see the soldiers in the northwest go to war hungry."


    "Oh, think about it. The price of food in the city has been rising day by day. This person is afraid of comparison, and he will be compared to the ground."


    "You speak too loudly, be careful you won''t be able to buy food in the future."


    Teahouses and restaurants in Huai''an Prefecture are discussing this matter.


    Song brocade donation behavior.


    The subsequent impact is still quite large. For example, the grain merchants in Huai''an have stayed behind closed doors during this period.


    Otherwise, if everyone pokes you, will you still have the nerve to live?


    Some grain merchants could only donate a small amount of grain to save face. It didn''t take long for someone else to follow suit. This person donated a sum, which added up to a considerable amount.


    The donations from these people are sent directly to the government office.


    Originally, the prefect didn''t know the reason for the rumors when they first started. Later, he sent people to find out. The news came from Shun''an Trading Company and was accidentally spread by some workers who went to carry grain.


    Facts have proved that Jifang''s boss indeed donated tens of thousands of dan of food and asked Shun''an Merchant Bank to transport it to the Northwest Army.


    The prefect then approached Shopkeeper Tao.


    Before Shopkeeper Tao set out, Qin Chi asked Shopkeeper Tao to buy enough grain as soon as possible and transport it to the northwest at any cost.


    It seems that shopkeeper Tao is still a good person.


    When the magistrate of Huai''an Prefecture came to visit him, shopkeeper Tao treated him with courtesy, and they hit it off immediately after the discussion.


    Shun''an Trading Company came to transport the grain, and the prefect took the lead in handling the donation. There was no reason why the prefect should not allow this opportunity to gain a good reputation and increase political achievements.


    Immediately ask everyone in the yamen to cooperate with Shopkeeper Tao.


    The prefect of Huai''an did not deduct or scrape a layer of oil and water. At the same time, he did not allow anyone else in the yamen to reach out, and repeatedly warned that anyone who dared to reach out would be dealt with.


    This is his chance to get promoted and make a fortune.


    Anyone who dares to block his official career will die!
