Chapter 15: Solving the Crisis
When Zhao Jie heard that he had not arranged for him to expel these people, he was relieved and immediately arranged for people to go to Changyuan County to buy sulfur and astragalus.
Because the matter was more urgent, these two things were purchased back on the same day, Zhao Ping added these two things to the fairy soap respectively, turned into sulfur fairy soap and Chinese medicine fairy soap, and then let these people bathe with sulfur fairy soap in batches, if there is still no effect, and then use Chinese medicine fairy soap to bathe.
These servants wanted to drive them away after Zhao Ping took a bath, but they had to go in to take a bath, but after taking a bath, not only did they feel clean before, but they also didn't itch anymore.
Only then did they understand Zhao Ping's good intentions, and they couldn't help but hide their faces and cry, and after crying, they all ran to the little master and knelt down, vowing to do a good job for Xiao Langjun.
However, what puzzled Zhao Ping was that he got up the next day and brought dozens of men, women and children, talking about the newly purchased servants.
After Zhao Ping inquired, he realized that the price of rice in Changyuan County has risen from three times last year to six or seven, and I heard that it will continue to rise!
Many poor households and tenants have gone bankrupt, eating wild vegetables is already a trivial matter, and even some places have begun to eat Guanyin soil, and Weng Weng, the little lady of Xia He, is starving to death by eating Guanyin soil.
It seems that in this drought era, some grain profiteers not only did not have a compassionate heart, but instead took the opportunity to cause national difficulties, which is really condemnable.
How can these people starve to death!
Zhao Ping then said to Zhao Jie: "You arrange Zhao Tian to immediately purchase 10,000 quintals of rice in other places." They have an urgent need. ”
Zhao Jie was dumbfounded when he heard this, looked at these new servants, and said cautiously: "Xiao Langjun, although there are many of them, they will not be able to purchase 10,000 quintals of rice. Besides, they may not have enough money. ”
Zhao Ping looked in the direction of the county seat and said: "My own family has a workshop in Zhaojiazhuang, and the neighbors are doing things here, so they will not starve to death." It's hard to say about the rest of Changyuan County. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ping said in a categorical tone: "This time, my own family is smashing pots and selling iron, and we must not let people starve to death." You tell the grain merchants in other places that if they are willing to pay on credit, if they are not willing to pay on credit, they will use fairy soap, fairy medicine soap, and sulfur fairy soap as collateral, and these own families will not worry about sales anyway. ”
After speaking, Zhao Ping drew a stone mill, with a wooden shaft in the middle, and a wooden wheel under the wooden shaft, and then pointed to the drawing and said: "This is a water-flushing rice mill." Zhaojiazhuang happens to have a river beach, and you can use the water potential to mill rice, and sell it in Changyuan County immediately after beating rice. ”
When Zhao Jie heard this, Zhao Ping invented a new rice milling tool and set up a rice workshop, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately asked: "Xiao Langjun, how is the price of this rice?" ”
Zhao Ping looked at the new servants in front of him, and then at Changyuan County in the south, and said categorically: "The selling price is the price of rice last year, three times, not a penny." ”
The housekeeper Zhao Jie was taken aback, looked at Zhao Ping with an unbelievable gaze and said: "Xiao Langjun, the price of their own food is five times, not only does they not make money, but they almost lose three times every time they count labor and freight. No matter how big the family business is, it can't afford such a big deficit. ”
After speaking, he couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes, and he knelt down involuntarily.
The servants who had come to sell themselves knelt down one by one, and they were all moved to tears!
They only now know that this little master, in order not to let the people of Changyuan County not starve to death, would rather go bankrupt himself than sell cheap rice at a loss.
When my mother found out about this, she also came out of the piano room, and now her piano room has finally returned to its original piano room, and the spinning wheel is placed in another room.
Playing the piano when he has time, this is the original mother in Zhao Ping's mind.
She looked at the many servants kneeling underground, nodded and said, "I support Ping'er, they are all the people of my Great Song Dynasty, as long as their own family has this ability, they can't be starved to death." ”
My mother is still the kind and beautiful mother!
Seeing that his mother also supported him, Zhao Ping's eyes moistened a little, and he felt that it was worth it to pay so much, so he held his hands weakly and said, "Everyone, please get up, you have many years and teeth several times older than me." In fact, although there are some losses, it has not yet reached the point of bankruptcy. Shu Weng Weng, your eyes should not be placed on Changyuan County, but should be placed in Neijiang, Hezhou, Chongqing, and even Kuizhou, Wanzhou, Ezhou, these places, where the grain is cheaper than Changyuan County, even if you add freight, there is no such a big deficit. ”
Zhao Jie thought for a while and said, "The old slave also thought about this, but there was no boat. ”
Zhao Ping thought for a while and said: "Now that my own Zhaojiazhuang has no market, sooner or later I will have to buy a boat." Now there are no ships for the time being, so they can rent them and send the goods they produce to the merchants and bring back the grain. It would be better if there was a boat shop willing to exchange the boat for the fairy soap series, which would be a good thing for both parties. ”
Zhao Jie thought about it, nodded and said, "You can let Tian'er go out and try it." ”
A few days later, when the refugee house in Zhaojiazhuang was built, Zhao Tian brought good news from Chongqing, there was a shipyard willing to exchange the boat for Zhaojiazhuang's fairy soap, immortal medicine soap, and sulfur fairy soap.
But for the sake of this cargo ship, Zhao Ping's funds for purchasing raw materials were suddenly insufficient!
At this time, some commercial baskets, chicken buses, and flatbed trucks from Anyue, Changzhou, Neijiang, Luzhou, Yongchuan and other places came to pick up the goods.
They are all small businessmen, with little capital and little capital, or they don't use the same tools as the common people.
Zhao Ping had an idea and asked them to exchange the fairy soap with food.
Although it is small, it can't stand a lot of people!
Moreover, they have good individual skills, and picking food is not a problem at all, at least part of the food problem has been solved.
For more food, Zhao Ping had to discount all the fairy soap series to the big businessmen who came to pick up the goods, and finally had some funds to buy raw materials, but it was still a drop in the bucket to lower the price of rice!
In desperation, Zhao Ping had no choice but to lease the first cargo ship to or transport goods to others.
Seeing that the speed of recovering funds was not fast, Zhao Ping simply returned to the original trading method and bartered the fairy soap and grain.
After half a month of hard work, the price of rice in the county town finally dropped from six or seven to three and five quintals.
However, a few days later, Zhao Di passed on a message to Zhao Ping through others, saying that many grain merchants and rice merchants had approached him and asked him to gradually restore the price of rice to six or seven guan, otherwise he would not regret coming to Changyuan County.
Zhao Ping couldn't help frowning when he heard this, knowing that he had offended the gains of some profiteers, but now that they had begun to blatantly threaten themselves, what should they do?
Do you want the price to return to the previous price, and follow them as a profiteer?
Zhao Ping shook his head and wrote a word for people to pass it to Zhao Di: "There is no turning back when you open the bow!" ”
Today is the fifteenth, and the full moon hangs obliquely in the sky, spraying clear light on the ground incessantly. Zhao Ping suddenly seemed to understand something, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his brain.
At present, Zhao Ping has opened up the second pulse of Ren and Du, and has been operating the internal force according to the normal requirements, but he is only mobilizing his weak internal force, if the operation is reversed, what will be the result?
Thinking of this, his brain was clarified, and he practiced pure yang internal strength on his bed. Zhao Ping first ran the internal strength in the positive direction, and felt that a burst of heat flow passed through the second pulse of Rendu, and then ran repeatedly, a total of 7749 weeks, and felt that there was a heat flow in the dantian precipitating; Then after resting a pillar of incense, Zhao Ping tried to reverse the internal strength, and suddenly felt a cold current swimming through the second vein of Rendu, and then repeatedly operated, a total of seven seven and forty-nine weeks, and finally felt that there was still a cold current in the dantian precipitating.
What frightened Zhao Ping was that now two internal forces suddenly precipitated on his dantian, one on the left and one on the right, one getting hotter and hotter, and the other getting colder and colder.
These two internal forces flowed along the second vein for a while, making him sweat profusely and couldn't help but want to undress; After a while, the cold snap reversed Ren Du's second vein, making him tremble all over, and he couldn't help but add clothes.
It makes it feel as if you're swinging.
Later, the two groups alternated with each other, did not give in to each other, and the speed became faster and faster, making Zhao Ping feel more and more uncomfortable.
I don't know how long it took, Zhao Ping suddenly felt a "boom" in his brain, and he felt a sense of peace and coolness in his heart, as if a small space appeared around him, and this space seemed to be something from his previous life.
But his mouth was dry, and he couldn't help but shout: "Water, water, water..........", and then it was as if he had come to a lake, and he suddenly put his mouth into the water.
"Xiao Lang Jun, Xiao Lang Jun!" A voice echoed in his ears, and Zhao Ping opened his eyes to see that he was indeed drinking water, but he was drinking the water in the bowl. Zhao Ping clearly felt that someone was holding his head with one hand and holding a bowl to drink water to himself in the other. After drinking enough water, Zhao Ping looked up and saw that it was Cuizhu helping him.
Two plastic pockets appeared on the table next to him, one of which had apparently been opened.
"Don't, don't move......" Before the words fell, only a "bang" was heard, and an object fell to the ground.
Lan'er, a curious baby, finally couldn't help but want to take a look, but the fact that the object was too heavy and the surface was relatively smooth, and she didn't have the strength to hold it at a young age, Zhao Ping only heard a "bang" and fell to the ground all at once.
