Chapter 168: Buying Food
Wang Xiao has actually been very anxious recently.
He had planned to run away, but now that his marriage to Princess Chunning is getting closer, the things at hand are still complicated.
I wanted to tell Master Fu Qing all the knowledge about the construction of people's livelihood in my head as soon as possible. But this kind of thing is not urgent, compulsory education has to take nine years, not to mention the scattered and unsystematic things in his mind.
Cramming education is unacceptable.
And now this locust plague has disrupted his original rhythm.
It's just that this time he tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time with Tang Qianqian, and when he was on the top, he sang every night, and he didn't sleep well for several nights......
At this time, I chatted with Ying'er, and seeing that the little girl had no resistance to Tang Qianqian, Wang Xiao was very relieved.
The concept of girls in this era is really good.
Thinking like this in his heart, he talked to Ying'er again, and he fell asleep.
In my sleep, I felt someone gently patting my hands, and I dreamed that I was boating on the lake with my beauty, and I was happy with Qianqian and Ying'er......
It was a good night, but in the end, there was a thunderclap.
The blessings of Qi people are still enjoying, and suddenly, a loud shout of "Niang Xipi" sounded, and a big knife smashed down in the air!
Wang Xiao woke up suddenly.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that Ying'er and the knife were in the room.
"The young master is awake?" Ying'er smiled: "If you don't wake up, I'm going to call you, and the master will let the young master go over as soon as possible." ”
Wang Xiao got out of bed to take a look, but saw that the two girls had prepared hot water and snacks, and they could wash up as soon as they woke up.
In order to allow herself to sleep a little longer, she had a heart.
He originally thought of taking Ying'er to meet Tang Qianqian today. At this time, I can only postpone it, and I can't help but feel a little regretful.
After eating some snacks, he walked to Du Kangzhai.
I think it's because the old man didn't teach himself a lesson yesterday, so he wants to beat the board as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived, Wang Kang said: "Rebel, you go to Cui's Mansion and make a gift to the Cui family." ”
Wang Xiao was quite depressed: "Where did the child offend the Cui family again?" ”
"Anyway, after you pass, make a low and make the Cui family promise to sell us all the grain."
Wang Kang said that he was a little uneasy, and asked Wang Zhu again: "Is it okay to let this rebel go by himself?" ”
Cui's just used his mother's grievances as an excuse, and Xiao'er went over to make amends, and the excuse was gone. Where is the identity of the quasi-attached horse, what else can he do with the Cui family? ”
Wang Zhu was still the same as if he was not salty, and smiled at Wang again: "I have prepared a gift." Remember, if we can get this batch of grain, we can win the He family's business and keep our current share of the liquor industry in the capital. ”
"Okay." Wang Xiao had no choice but to respond.
In this way, this matter is the second brother's idea.
Wang Kang was still not at ease, so he threatened again, such as "If you mess up this matter for the old man again, the old man will break your legs".
……
Wang Xiao didn't have a little guy now, so he asked Wang 17 and Wang 18 to run errands with him with gifts.
When I went out, I met Qin Xuance who was going to come to find him.
Wang Xiao couldn't help but be surprised: "Didn't you promise that Your Majesty would go to Guozijian to study?" ”
Qin Xuance was stunned and said, "How could I have said that? ”
"You're so daring." Wang Xiao couldn't help but admire.
Qin Xuance then looked very anxious, and said, "Your Majesty promised me to be the master yesterday, why hasn't there been any movement at all now?" ”
"Now? It's only been a long time, and it's not even early to get down......" Wang Xiao rolled his eyes and asked again: "Besides, how could he promise you?" What he said was that if you are free and ask Zuo Ge Lao, don't you understand? If so, let me ask. ”
"Isn't that just a promise?" Qin Xuance said as a matter of course, "You don't joke, if he repents, you will have to testify for me." ”
Wang smiled and shrunk his neck.
"I'm sorry, I can't testify like that."
"I'm in such a hurry." Qin Xuance sighed and said, "Where did you go with these things?" ”
"Go and apologize." Wang smiled.
"Oh."
Wang Xiao took two steps, and when he saw that Qin Xuance didn't follow, he asked, "You don't want to go with me?" ”
"What's the point of going to apologize?"
Wang smiled mysteriously and invited with a smile: "Let's go together." ”
Qin Xuan's strategy was a little strange, so he responded: "Okay, it's better to go to Guozi to study......
There is no doubt that the harvest in Yanguang for 17 years was not good.
For Wang, Zhong, He, and Wan, who are in the wine business in the capital, the competition is becoming more and more fierce.
In the past, everyone competed for shares and customers, but now they have to compete for the raw materials for brewing. Although the process of brewing is different, the first step is to steam the grain.
In today's actions, we must stock up on grain as early as possible, and as much as we can.
How to get along with a big grain merchant like the Cui family next? This is the urgent problem that the Wang family needs to solve.
Both the Wang family and the He family are married to the Cui family.
Now that the He family is cooperating with the Zhong family, they have the intention of suppressing the Wang family together and snatching the share of the Wang family.
At the same time, there are still many people who are paying attention to who the Cui family's grain is going to sell to.
After a locust plague, everyone knows that food is the most scarce thing next.
This year's harvest is less, but there is no shortage of places to ask for food.
Waiting to buy grain from the Cui family are also large and small grain merchants in Beijing.
So when Wang Xiao arrived at Cui's house, what he saw was a scene full of people, and there were still many people waiting outside the door with gifts.
When Wang Xiaotong got his name and entered Cui's mansion, people outside began to talk about it.
Many people have already inquired about the Wang family clearly, and at this time they sneered:
"I heard that the Wang family and the Cui family tore up their faces, because this young man was unfilial to his stepmother and bullied his younger brother......"
"The whole capital said that the second child of the Wang family was good at business, but I didn't expect that in the end, things would be bad in the hands of this younger brother......"
"Heh, good at business? In this kind of year, they still want to snatch grain from us to make wine, I think the Wang family is crazy......"
So the discussion of denouncing the Wang family spread, starting from the Wang family's spineless sending the son named Wang Xiao to the Heavenly Family, and then talking about how this son has a bad deed......
Wang Zhu was already a bit famous in Beijing, but at this time, the reputation of having a great reputation for businessmen in the past has become a notoriety for stealing grain from the mouths of the people, and Wang Zhen is a mess. At least Wang Xiao, the wind comments are even more stinky.
In the midst of the discussion, some people smiled sheepishly and went to spread rumors elsewhere.
In the hall of Cui's mansion, someone was talking.
"This year will be a famine year, and when the snow falls, the grain will increase exponentially. At such times, you sell the grain to those who make wine? How is it different from guarding the mountain of gold to ask for food? ”
Wen Hongda smiled faintly, behaved calmly, and was in his chest......
