"Report to the head of the family, the shopkeeper of the East Market is asking to see you outside the house!"

"Rory? Let him in! ”

Hearing this, Gong Chang cleaned up his emotions and said calmly.

"No!"

Soon, a Gong family guard quickly walked in with the shopkeeper.

"The villain greets the head of the house!"

"Get up!" Gong Chang asked: "This is not the day of the accounting, you came impatiently, what is the so-called thing?" ”

"Back to the head of the family, the villain found that there was something wrong with the accounts recently, and asked the head of the family to take a look!" Shopkeeper Luo handed over the account book and said in a low voice.

"What's wrong?"

Gong Chang's heart suddenly sudden, took the account book, and asked while reading.

"Master, food shipments have been too frequent recently, although the number of shipments is not much, but the number of purchases is more than ten times more than usual, so that our store inventory is gradually empty!"

"What?"

Gong Chang was alert to a cold sweat, and carefully looked at the accounts and accounts on it, and his pupils changed color.

"Why don't you say something so big?"

"Before, the villain thought that there was nothing wrong, after all, the number of shipments was not large, and many of them were familiar buyers and merchants, but when the villain found that they had purchased several times, and the number of times became more and more frequent, he realized that something was wrong, and hurried to report to the owner!"

Shopkeeper Luo said.

"Damn, are they really so bold that they dare to provoke a certain family in the grain market!"

Gong Chang looked at the accounts in his hand, his eyes were sharper than that of Shopkeeper Luo, and he could see through at a glance that someone was hoarding goods, why they were hoarding, at this time, they were either buying military rations, or they were ......

His fists clenched, and his expression became more and more gloomy.

"Someone!"

"In!"

"The shopkeepers of the shops under the Gong family in the county town immediately brought the account books and came to my house to take inventory!"

"No!"

The guards of the Gong family went everywhere to pass orders to the streets and squares in the promise.

……

North of the city, Kaixingli, Roche grain store.

"Shopkeeper, 800 stone polished rice, can you have stock?"

"Yes, there is, but with such a large shipment, you have to ask the head of the family!"

"I'm a runan caravan, this time is time to come and go, but there is not so much time to spend here, you see, I raise the price by ten percent, can I move out immediately!"

"This ......"

"Shopkeeper, be accommodating, we will do business next time!"

"Okay!"

……

South of the city, Central Axis Street, Roche Grain Store.

"Shopkeeper, you are the largest grain store in the entire Wuyin, you can't even take out a thousand stone of millet, right?"

"How is it possible, it's just a thousand stone millet, and I have it in the warehouse!"

"Then I will raise the price by 10 percent, can you sell it to me?"

"I don't know if you are ......"

"I am a military marquis under the command of Dou Min, the county lieutenant of Pingshi County, and I came here this time to purchase military rations, and please make it convenient!"

"I'll think about it!"

"This is a golden cake, shopkeeper, now the army is ready to open up and suppress the thieves, I am in a hurry, please smile!"

"Look at you so sincerely, okay!"

……

Among the most prosperous markets in the east of the city, Baijia Grain Store is a small grain store.

"White shopkeeper, three thousand stone millet, one hand to deliver, one hand to pay, one hand to pay, how about it?"

"This gentleman, 3,000 stones is a bit much, and we just have such a little inventory, we can't spare it!"

"White shopkeeper, you open the door to do business, I haven't heard that you will be afraid to sell, it won't be that the expensive grain store can't even take out this inventory, no wonder, I'll go to Gong's house to have a look, the scale of the family is large, there must be!"

"No, no, no, of course we have, we can trade right away!"

"That's good, it's a golden cake, please order it!"

"Okay!"

……

West of the city, Hongjia grain store.

"Five thousand stones?" The Hong family's shopkeeper's pupils changed slightly, as a big grain merchant second only to the Gong family, he was still a little vigilant, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Shopkeeper Hong, I am a small official under the command of county lieutenant Zhang Chuan, recently I am short of food for soldiers and horses, and I also ask the shopkeeper of the Hong family to raise his noble hand!"

"Zhang Chuan?" Shopkeeper Hong's face sank a little: "I really can't take out such food!" ”

"Shopkeeper Hong, I buy it sincerely, don't shirk it, my county lieutenant is not an elegant person, if you anger him, then it won't be a purchase, I will bring troops to get it at that time, are you willing?" Sun Yuan is a procurement of the Sun family, but he didn't expect the task of pretending to be a county soldier to fall on him, as a businessman, he usually has low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, it is difficult to straighten his waist, and he is secretly refreshed.

"You ......"

"Don't be embarrassed, my family is close to the people, and I don't want to fall into a bad reputation, but it doesn't mean that my family is following the rules, now the county is balanced, and there are few thieves, it is the credit of my family, if it is in the dead of night, hundreds of bandits fall from the sky, I don't know if the Hong family's food can be saved!"

"I'll sell!"

Shopkeeper Hong's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and said gloomily.

……

……

The abundant funds in the hands of Jingping Commercial Bank made a frantic move, and began to sweep through the grain stores in the city, whether it was a few large grain merchants in the city, or some small grain merchants, they were all swept away.

Truckloads of grain were transported into the large warehouses of Jingping Commercial Bank, and each warehouse was filled with rice, millet, and various grains.

……

The Gong family's mansion.

"Report to the head of the family, there is a Runan caravan from my shop today, and the bid is rich, so I want to apply for inventory from the shopkeeper!"

"Report to the head of the family, a person who claims to be a merchant in Wancheng came to my store today, and bought a thousand stone of grain at a price one percent higher than the market price.

"Report to the ,...... of the Family"

One by one, the elated voice of the report, Gong Chang almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and asked gloomily: "So, your store doesn't have much stock anymore!" ”

"Exactly!"

The shopkeepers nodded.

"Stupid!"

Gong Chang shouted angrily: "Can't you see that someone is hoarding goods?" ”

"Hoarding, why stocking?" The shopkeepers still can't get back to their senses.

"Get out of here!"

Gong Chang was furious, and his expression was as cold as ice.

"Family master, calm your anger, this matter is not so simple, but if someone thinks that this can be aimed at us, then they are too simple, I have waited for the grain store to stand for many years, how can it be such a small wind and rain can be brought down!"

One of the shopkeepers said, "We can borrow grain from other grain stores and get through this time." ”

"Good!"

Gong Chang calmed down: "Butler, you immediately go and contact the Bai family, the Hong family, the Xu family, the Fang family, and the Liu family in person...... Tell them, "I will borrow 30,000 grain from their grain stores, and I will pay it back in a month." ”

"No!"

The housekeeper of the Gong family took the order and went down.

In less than an hour, the housekeeper of the Gong family came back, his face was a little not good, and he arched his hand and said: "Report to the head of the family, just now the big families said that their family's grain has also been sold, and there is not much grain in the inventory at all!" ”

"Damn it!" When Gong Chang heard this, he was a little gloomy, and he shouted: "All the shopkeepers obey the order, immediately go out to buy all the grain in the market, whether it is a large grain store or a small grain store, buy it for me, and raise the price to buy it!" ”

He realized that he seemed to be being hit by a voice, and he reacted and immediately struck, cleanly.

However, it is already a step too slow.

A day later.

"Shopkeeper, we only purchased less than two thousand stone of grain today!"

"How is that possible?"

Gong Chang was completely panicked at this time: "Who has such a big deal can actually sweep away the grain in the Wuyin market!" ”

You must know that even if his Gong family is rich, he can't sweep away the goods in the market.

Unless......

Joining forces, some businessmen's funds have joined forces, which will at least be smashed into tens of thousands of dollars, let alone one, two or three can't take it out, unless more than a dozen join forces.

Big trouble!

"The head of the family, in fact, there is no need to worry so much, now that Wuyin is peaceful and the food price is stable, it will not be raised all of a sudden, we will be able to return to the situation!"

"What if the dancing yin is not peaceful!"

Gong Chang's eerie rhetorical question.

"Isn't the dance peaceful?"

"Impossible!"

"There are thousands of soldiers and horses stationed outside Wuyin City, how can any thief army dare to come and make trouble!"

The shopkeepers looked at each other and said in a deep voice.

"Humph!"

Gong Chang snorted coldly, and his heart seemed to fall under the ice cellar.

If it were him, since he had already begun to control the food supply, then at this time, he would do it, stir up the wind and rain, take the initiative to attack, pull down the goodwill that their Gong family had accumulated for many years, and then defeat the Gong family's shop in one fell swoop, so that they could not gain a foothold.
