I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Chapter 167: Transaction Completed, Gu Family Returns to the Valley

"Sir, do you have any food left?" King Li asked.

"Your Highness, there are still some left. We are not without cars or horses, so we each carried a bag over to sell in exchange for travel expenses." Gu Dajiang said with a smile.

"Okay, I want to buy your stored grain, what do you think?" King Li said happily after hearing this.

At this time, an aide said, "Your Highness, this person's origin is unknown. The food may also be problematic. Don't trust him."

"Sir, I am a clean person, and I managed to secure this grain with great difficulty. You can choose not to buy it, but you must not slander me!" Gu Dajiang said anxiously.

"I have been selling rice at the market for the whole morning. If your words get out, they will ask me to return the money. Then the money I have worked so hard to earn will be gone!"

"If you still don't believe me, you can ask the master who brought me here to see if all my rice is the best refined rice."

Upon hearing this, King Li asked his followers, "Have you seen the rice sold by the master? Is it all fine rice as the master said?"

"Your Highness, when I went there, there were several bags open, and they were indeed all fine rice."

"Okay, then I wonder if you are willing to sell all the grain to me." King Li asked.

"It would be great if we could sell it to His Majesty, saving us the cost of traveling. But the food is a bit much, and I want to pay in cash. I wonder if His Majesty would be able to do that."

King Li thought for a moment and said, "Cash is not a bad idea, but I don't know how much grain you have and how much it would cost. Can I inspect the goods?"

"It's a normal transaction, so it's only right to inspect the goods. As for the price, I'll add five cents per bushel to the current market price in the county. What do you think? But I'll have to trouble His Majesty to send someone to bring the grain here personally."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the price. You know, when the grain prices in Zesheng County were in chaos at the beginning, they were suppressed by King Li’s thunder.

Nowadays, grain is sold at 50 wen per dou in the market, and if you add 5 wen, it will only be 55 wen per dou.

At this time, the suspicious staff member spoke again: "Your Highness, look! I said there was something wrong with this man. Now, except for our Zesheng County, where else can you find such cheap grain. Why does he sell grain to us at such a loss?"

King Li also spoke in confusion, "Sir, you have traveled a long way and suffered a lot of losses. You have managed to save these grains. The price you are selling them at now is not too low."

"Your Highness, don't worry. I asked a friend to buy this grain before the New Year, and the price hadn't risen at that time. So we are not losing money by selling it at the current price. If I sell it to Your Highness, you will use it for the people. So it would be difficult for me to raise the price. The five cents increase is also for the sake of my brothers. I hope Your Highness will forgive me." Gu Dajiang said humbly and politely.

King Li was deeply moved after hearing this and said, "Sir, you are so righteous. I will definitely use your wisdom for the benefit of the people."

"I naturally believe in the prince."

The aide wanted to speak again, but was stopped by his colleague who pulled his sleeve.

The two were very happy after the deal was done.

King Li sent a carriage and Gu Dajiang to the cave to check the food in person.

I saw the entrance was covered with dry grass, but I didn’t expect there was a cave inside.

King Li's men followed and first went into the cave with Gu Dajiang to confirm the safety of the cave.

Seeing that there were only a few people guarding the cave and there was no danger, he looked at the food. He was shocked at the sight.

He exclaimed: "This is too much!"

Hearing the shouts to follow, everyone entered the cave one after another.

Looking at the food filling the cave, everyone was shocked.

With these grains, the food shortage problem in Zesheng County was solved.

King Li was overjoyed and ordered his men to move the grain out. He also arranged for the staff in charge of the treasury to bring people to inspect the grain.

After checking the results, it was naturally bags of polished rice.

The crowd loaded up ten carts with food.

He returned to the county, weighed, checked carefully, and settled the money, and finally got 30,000 taels of silver.

"Sir, if you are not in a hurry to travel, you can rest in the palace for a while. Then I will send someone to see you off personally." King Li said.

"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. I dare not trouble you. I have been away from home for many days. My family must miss me a lot. I am eager to return home." Gu Dajiang bowed and refused.

"In this case, I will not stay any longer. Take care on your journey, sir." After saying this, King Li motioned for his followers to hand over his business card.

He continued, "Sir, if you pass by Zesheng County when doing business in the future, you can come to me anytime if you encounter any problems."

Gu Dajiang took the name card readily, clasped his fists and saluted again, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will take my leave now."

"Take care sir. Have a safe trip."

After bidding farewell to Gu Dajiang, King Li began to gather his staff and make arrangements for the distribution of food.

The food problem has been solved satisfactorily, and it is time for the Gu family to go back.

Through Zhisheng's communication, everyone can understand what is happening on Gu Dajiang's side in real time.

Knowing that the grain had been transported back safely, the Gu family checked out of the inn, rented three carriages in the city, and went out of the city to wait.

Gu Dajiang also learned the whereabouts of his family through the robot.

After bidding farewell to King Li, he took the robot and money, rented a carriage, and headed out of the city.

Gu Fu sensed that his second uncle was coming, and was worried that the sudden appearance of more than twenty "people" would arouse Song Renjing's suspicion.

He released his mental power, and after checking that there was no one around Second Uncle, he stored the robot into space through the air.

When Gu Dajiang saw that the people around him suddenly disappeared, he knew that it was his niece who took action, and he was not at all panicked.

Everyone in the Gu family gathered together, and Song Renjing was still blindfolded. Gu Fu summoned Shasha and Daidai, and the family rode on a giant bird and flew towards the valley.

In the valley.

Since no one notified Duan Shuhuan that the class was suspended, Duan Shuhuan attended the class alone today.

During morning exercises, many people saw Duan Shuhuan, but none of them recognized him.

Everyone started to speculate where this young master came from. Why was he taught by Gu's teacher alone? Did the Gu family leave the valley again?

It was not until the evening when he was resting that he saw Duan Shuhuan enter the Duan family. He then recalled the news that had been circulating in the Duan family in the past few days about recuperating the young master.

People couldn't help but be shocked and sighed, this change is too big. In just a few days, it's like a completely different person.

For a long time after that, there were women who went to the Duan family to get close to them, hoping to improve their health. Of course, this is a story for later.

After dinner, some people took their children to the amusement park.

Seeing that the children liked the amusement rides and the equipment had been built, Mr. Gu no longer restricted the opening to seven days.

Electric amusement equipment needs to be controlled by the gardener.

Brother Yuan now has several jobs, and we have to adjust his schedule accordingly.

It is opened for one hour every day starting from the evening, and anyone who wants to play can come and play.

Some of them were playing and laughing together on the lawn.

Others went to play in the pavilion in the flower field.

Such a large valley is decorated with lights from the Gu family’s buildings, especially on such a quiet and peaceful night.

People often feel dazed and feel that they are no longer in the human world but have arrived in a fairyland.
