If Jiang Qingyue hadn't said this in person, Liu Peng wouldn't believe that Zhang Yuchan was actually the eldest lady of the Zhang family in Zhucheng.

Although the Zhang family in Zhucheng is not a famous official family in Shandong and has never had a particularly outstanding scholar in his family, he is a wealthy family in Zhucheng. With his wealth in the mountain silkworm industry, Zhang Yihe and Zhang Yiming's brothers have a prosperous business and have become a wealthy family in the three East Mansions.

Such a family, even if the concubine daughter is a concubine for Liu Peng, they will probably be scolded so much that they can't raise their heads. Moreover, Zhang Yuchan is the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, but now she is a maid who doesn't even have a title.

But Jiang Qingyue said something: "This is all Yu Chan'er's life is too bad."

The eldest lady of the Zhang family in Zhucheng should have been the happiest, but Zhang Yuchan has married twice. The first time she got married was the farming and reading family selected by the father and brother of the Zhang family in Zhucheng. It is said that Miss Zhang's husband had the opportunity to pass the imperial examination, but Miss Zhang's life was too hard. At the wedding after marrying, the future juren master pleated blood on the spot and died after drinking a few glasses of old wine.

As for the reason why this future juren pleaded blood and died, Jiang Qingyue alone heard about six or seven kinds of things. Anyway, the next thing was a mess. Zhang Yuchan was driven back to her parents' home after being bullied at her husband's house.

Although everyone sympathized with Zhang Yuchan, Zhang Yuchan had to bear the infamy of "harming her husband". It was naturally not easy to get married. So Zhang Yihe and Zhang Yiming had to choose another suitable husband for the girl, but Zhang Yuchan believed that she could no longer obey the arrangements of her father and brother this time, but should pursue her own happiness.

The next scene is a bloody drama in a bloody drama. When the sedan chair was in the Zhang family, I found that the bride disappeared. This time the escape of marriage became a sensational news in the entire Zhucheng, but the story that happened next made the entire Qingzhou Prefecture talk about it for several months.

What women are most afraid of is that they meet bad people. Zhang Yuchan never dreamed that the little face she liked became a big thief and a big liar, so she sold her into a brothel. She spent more than half a month in the brothel before being rescued by Zhang Yihe.

Although Zhang Yuchan and the Zhang family said that Zhang Yuchan was still pure and innocent, this incident caused a sensation in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture. For almost a year, the Zhang family couldn't even raise their heads when they were walking on the road. After so many things, Zhang Yuchan finally couldn't get married again.

Speaking of these things, Jiang Qingyue still looked angry: "Yu Chan'er is the eldest lady of the Zhang family after all, and I asked and checked it myself. She is indeed a clean and clean body. Why are these men blind? It's a good thing for you!"

Liu Peng smiled bitterly: "What everyone is afraid of is that Yu Chan'er's innocence is not harmful, but that she will run away from marriage again, and that will look good at that time."

Zhang Yuchan had a criminal record of escaping marriage. Everyone was worried that she would act like this again. Even if she didn't escaping marriage, she would flee back to her parents' home and bring her family to make trouble. But her family was rich, powerful and could make trouble. When she thought of this, Jiang Qingyue had to repeat what she said just now: "That time, he was forced by his two brothers to make a bad move. Unfortunately, she met someone badly. I told you clearly to Liu Peng. Yu Chan'er is from my room, Qingqing's innocent daughter's house. I asked and checked it myself. She is indeed still Bingjie Yu Jie and Yu Jie. You are not allowed to slap Yu Chan'er around."

Liu Peng suddenly laughed happily: "Sister Qingyue, tell me, how did you verify that Yu Chaner is still pure and clean?"

Jiang Qingyue's face turned red when Liu Peng said it, and she said angrily: "Okay, I'll hide the Jade Cicada, so that you can greed for the rest of your life! Go to death, take it away with your hands!"

But at the end, Jiang Qingyue was still starry eyes confused. She said, "I didn't expect that you, a bad guy, would be completely deceived so soon. I just married a chicken and a dog. Even now I don't know what Yu Chan'er thinks. If she plays another good show of escaping marriage, I see how you laugh. I won't talk about this. What do you think should be dealt with in Laizhou!"

More than one person is asking how to deal with the matter in Laizhou. Today, the prefect Tao just put this problem on the table and the people. Liu Peng hesitated for a moment before saying, "It seems that the matter in Laizhou must be solved!"

In Liu Peng's initial plan, he did not consider the problem in Laizhou at all. It was already the limit for him to solve the problem of preserving the family and the people around him in this great famine. At most, he preserved the elders and villagers of Huang County.

However, even Liu Peng himself did not expect Longkou to develop to this point today, and now he can do more things within his ability. Jiang Qingyue's sentence also represents the voice of many people in the Longkou Gang. They think that Dengzhou is already a restriction for Longkou, and Longkou should continue to develop outward.

Liu Peng could not ignore the calls of these people, but even if the Prime Minister Tao asked such a question, Liu Peng could fool him. However, when people like Jiang Qingyue asked this question, Liu Peng knew that he could not fool him: "Sister Qingyue, take out the map and let's study it carefully. How should we arrange it in Laizhou!"

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "I'll get you a map. If we have more kindness today, we can live thousands of people!"

The two of them studied on the map for a while and found it very difficult, but it was operational. Especially now, the autumn grains can be ripe soon. The sweet potatoes, peanuts, soybeans, mung beans and black beans planted this year will be on the market soon.

"Well, sweet potatoes are good. We can cook sweet potato porridge at that time, which can save a lot of rice!"

Just as Liu Peng was talking, a crisp knock on the door came from outside, followed by Zhang Yuchan’s sweet voice: “Young Master Liu, Mrs. Liu, there is a Master Wei Ju and Wei begging for a meeting outside.”

Wei Ju is a powerful tyrant in Gaomi County, Laizhou. The reason why Liu Peng was able to successfully eliminate the Five Yi Si Silkworms was because he received the help of Wei Ju. After the Battle of Five Yi Si Silkworms, Wei Ju not only did not break off relations with Longkou, but also helped Liu Peng to manage the Laizhou Prefecture. It can be said to be a powerful ally of Longkou. Therefore, when he heard Wei Ju arrive, Liu Peng smiled: "This is a lobbyist sent by the prefect Wang, Yu Chan, help me make tea!"

Soon Liu Peng discovered Zhang Yuchan’s first advantage. Whether it is Jiang Qingyue or Gu Mengyu, he is usually a bit thick-handed and not as careful as Zhang Yuchan when doing things. Zhang Yuchan’s skills in making tea or entertaining guests are indeed better than the two of them, and he is definitely a suitable female housekeeper.

However, although the tea was brewed well, Wei Ju had no intention of drinking tea. He explained his purpose to Liu Peng directly: "Mr. Liu, Laizhou Prefecture can be said to be as anxious as fire. The prefect Wang sent someone to ask for a message. As long as Mr. Liu is willing to borrow food, the official position of Laizhou Prefecture will be chosen by Mr. Liu!"

Liu Peng asked calmly: "How much money does the prefect Wang have in his hands?"

"At most, it's a few hundred taels!" Wei Ju and Liu Peng were their own people, so naturally they didn't help the prefect Wang to cover up: "Laizhou Prefecture can be said to be a thousand miles apart now, and the local taxes have not been settled. Now even the official salary is owed for two months. You must not expect him to take out the silver."

It was indeed difficult for the prefect Wang to have a hard time. Liu Peng immediately replied: "If this is the case, it will be difficult for me to deal with!"

Wei Ju still repeated the conditions of the prefect Wang: "The prefect Wang said that Laizhou Prefecture is very miserable now. As long as Mr. Liu likes anything, even the county prime minister, the real official position of the Dianshi, or the mining seedlings and wealth sources, they can be taken away as collateral!"

The prefect Wang's mind was similar to that of the prefect Tao. He would not worry about too much debt. Anyway, during his tenure, the debt he owed to Beihai Money House could not be paid off at all. The only one who suffered was the later one. Therefore, Liu Peng immediately said: "Okay, our Beihai Money House and Longjiang Money House should be able to borrow 60,000 taels of silver to Laizhou Prefecture?"

"Sixty thousand taels?" This result was beyond Wei Ju's most optimistic estimate before. They thought that it was already the limit to borrowing 10,000 stones of rice beans, so Wei Ju asked immediately: "Is it 20,000 stones of rice beans?"

Now, one stone of rice is three taels of silver in Dengzhou Prefecture. Although Liu Peng said it was 60,000 taels of silver in the name, he would only give out 20,000 stone of rice beans to lend it to Laizhou Prefecture.

For Laizhou Prefecture, this kind of loan can be said to have suffered a great loss. Usually, a stone of rice is only seven or eight cents of silver, but now the price of borrowing silver is equivalent to four or five times higher. However, no matter how high the rice price is, Wei Ju feels that Laizhou Prefecture still accepts the debt.

Because Laizhou Prefecture now has no silver in its hands, and even the prefect Wang only has a few hundred taels of silver for mobile. Even if Liu Peng sells five taels of silver for one stone of rice, Laizhou Prefecture has to pinch his nose and admit it: "What kind of constitution does the Beihai Money House and Longjiang Money House need to borrow money?"

Liu Peng replied: "Don't have any regulations. As long as Laizhou Prefecture is willing to borrow this money, then 20,000 stones of grain will be transported directly to various places in Laizhou Prefecture through water and land, and Laizhou Prefecture will just sit and collect the grain."

"The price of these three taels and one stone of rice is shipped to Laizhou?"

Wei Ju couldn't help but be happy. He didn't expect that he would give an extra discount to Liu Peng.

He originally thought that the price of one stone of rice and three taels of silver was Longkou and Penglai. At that time, Laizhou would have to take out a large amount of foot money to transport the rice beans back to Laizhou Prefecture. Unexpectedly, this price was actually the price to be shipped to Laizhou. In that case, at least one tael of rice would be extra cost of one stone of rice.

Liu Peng immediately replied: "Yes, it is the price of shipment. In addition, among the 60,000 taels of silver, there is 10,000 taels of silver to Laizhou Prefecture. I don't care about how to distribute it. Lao Wei, please be responsible for the negotiation. Just tell me after the negotiation."
