Chapter 53: Making a Big Buck

"It's over, it's over......" Wei Xuanzhen almost fainted.

There was no food in the year of the catastrophe, which was unprecedented for the Wei family.

In previous years, it was a peaceful year, so how could it be a disaster this year.

"Quick, quick, let people harvest immediately...... Grain ...... in the Harvest Field"

The wise Huang Chenggong looked at Wei Xuanzhen with a mentally retarded look, of course...... This look quickly flashed, and he immediately said, "The proprietor...... Now, the grain is not ripe, how can it be harvested? ”

Wei Xuanzhen: "......"

Wei Xuanzhen stood motionless, his whole person was already chaotic, countless thoughts crossed his mind, and he seemed to be lucky to hope that all this had not happened in front of him.

At this moment, someone suddenly came hurrying over, and before Wei Xuanzhen could see the person who was coming, he saw that the old man with white hair had arrived in front of him, and someone was coming...... It was Wei Xuanzhen's clan uncle, who stared at Wei Xuanzhen deadly, and then roared: "Beast, you did a good thing!" ”

Syllable!

opened the bow with his hand, and a slap hit Wei Xuanzhen in the face.

Wei Xuanzhen staggered.

The uncle of the Wei family thumped his chest and said sharply: "You are really Li Lingzhi faint, do you know that your cousin got the news in the court, and fainted in the court on the spot, our Wei family has been in the court for so many years...... How can there be such unscrupulous descendants as you. ”

While stomping his feet, he scolded bitterly.

Huang Chenggong's face turned green with fright, and he subconsciously moved three or four steps back, feeling safe, so he persuaded bitterly: "Don't, don't, don't...... Don't ......"

Wei Xuanzhen was woken up by this slap, her mouth trembled, and she just wanted to say something, but this clan uncle had already brushed his sleeves away.

Wei Xuanzhen was silent for a long time before her eyes fell on Huang Chenggong.

Huang Chenggong was shocked and a little flustered: "Proprietor, this ...... This ......"

"What should I do?" Wei Xuanzhen stared at Huang Chenggong deadly.

Huang Chenggong: "......"

Huang Chenggong knew in his heart that by now, he had to come up with a plan, otherwise, the proprietor would definitely bury himself alive, and the proprietor would be able to do anything.

Fortunately, Huang Chenggong is a person with a very method, he squinted: "If the proprietor wants to recover the loss, there is only one way, dare to ask the proprietor, what is the most precious thing in this year of catastrophe?" ”

"Grain."

Huang Chenggong said in surprise: "The proprietor is really brilliant." ”

"Yes, in a year of great calamity, the most precious thing is food. Next...... Food prices are bound to skyrocket, and there is no food in Guanzhong...... Now don't say that the Wei family is short of food, who is not short of this place. It won't be long before Guanzhong is about to be thousands of miles away, and the people will be cannibalistic, and even if a few catties of grain are exchanged for one person, ten catties of grain, and one acre of land for those people who are going to starve to death, it may not be impossible. So the top priority is...... Ask for food. ”

"Asking for food?" Wei Xuanzhen looked at Huang Chenggong: "Where is there still food?" ”

"Isn't the Chen family the one who has the most food in your hand right now?"

As soon as she heard this, Wei Xuanzhen suddenly became angry: "This old man naturally knows, it's just ......"

"It's better for the proprietor to go and talk to that Chen Zhengtai, and the proprietor will be angry, you see...... Then how could the Chen family know the news of the locust plague, they bought food, purely to eat enough to support it. ”

"But now that there is a catastrophe, I'm afraid that they are also afraid in their hearts, the proprietor, your sister is the imperial concubine, and she gave birth to the tenth son for the emperor, isn't their Chen family afraid of the proprietor's momentum? It's better to buy back the grain and see how the Chen family bids first. ”

Wei Xuanzhen's heart moved, and she felt that there was some truth.

Although Huang Chenggong had encouraged himself to sell grain before, the truth was not wrong, the autumn harvest was about to begin, and countless new grains were about to be put into storage.

Wei Xuanzhen decided to forgive him.

Pondered for a moment: "Going to visit the Chen family?" ”

Huang Chenggong said firmly: "Yes, and it has to be fast, it's best to leave immediately, don't wait for me, if you let others take the lead, everything will be over." ”

Wei Xuanzhen took a deep breath: "Go and prepare the car." ”

…………

When Chen Zhengtai heard that the Wei family was coming, his first reaction was to run away.

But as soon as my feet wanted to move, I realized ...... Isn't this my own home? What am I running?

However, he was still a little worried, so he asked Chen Fu to prepare dozens of swords and axes to prepare and arrange them around the lobby, of course...... There are no professional knife and axe hands, so I had to catch Chen Zhengde and these pig breeders to make up the number.

Call......

Take a deep breath, I, Chen Zhengtai, can't die, the locust plague is imminent, and I, Chen Zhengtai, want to keep a useful body.

The arrangement was properly arranged, and Wei Xuanzhen was invited in, and when he saw Wei Xuanzhen and the others entering the hall, Chen Zhengtai was already smiling and got up.

So everyone greeted each other.

Wei Xuanzhen smiled: "Hello nephew." ”

Chen Zhengtai was weak and said: "Shibo is here, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Huang Chenggong stood aside and watched them greet, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and he muttered in his heart, the proprietor scolded people for being stupid every day, and when he came to him, his mouth was like smeared with honey, virtuous nephew, virtuous nephew.

Gee......

The corners of Wei Xuanzhen's mouth twitched slightly, according to the past, he would not come to the Chen family if he was killed, but now, he had to force a smile.

"Virtuous nephew, I heard that the locust plague in Guanzhong is imminent, and the city of Chang'an has heard the wind, and the price of grain alone has doubled."

It's only been a long time, and the news has been out for less than an hour.

When Wei Xuanzhen said this, her heart hurt again, and it hurt badly.

But he knows very well that in this case, not to mention that the price of grain has doubled, it is ten times and a hundred times, which is also a common thing, and a pound of grain is a life.

"The old man doesn't say secret words, he is here for one thing, and that is to buy food......

Buying Food......

Chen Zhengtai felt that Wei Xuanzhen in front of him was simply insulting his IQ.

"This ...... This one...... Shi Bo also knows ......"

"You can make a bid." Huang Chenggong was anxious on the sidelines, for fear that the night would be long and dreamy, and in some time, the price of grain would double.

"This ...... I'm not short of money. Chen Zhengtai sighed, he really is not short of money, people who have food and salt in their hands, will they still lack money?

Wei Xuanzhen was about to blow up, and she was about to be furious.

Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "I heard that the Wei family has a lot of land, why don't you ...... Land for food. It's better to do this, fifty catties of grain for one acre of land, how about it? ”

Wei Xuanzhen's face turned red instantly, and she was so angry that she was about to faint, our Wei family has never had to buy other people's land, where is there a reason to sell land, if I sell land, won't I, Wei Xuanzhen, become a descendant of Wei?

Huang Chenggong was moved by the side, and was busy using his eyes to stop Wei Xuanzhen, who was about to be angry, and then bowed down to Wei Xuanzhen, and said in a low voice: "The proprietor is angry, this business is ...... It's not reasonable, but the next ...... Food prices are bound to skyrocket, and there is no food in Guanzhong at the moment...... Now don't say that the Wei family is short of food, who doesn't lack this place. Fifty catties of grain for one acre of land is indeed a loss, but the proprietor thinks about it, it won't be long before the people in this pass can eat each other, that is, ten catties of grain, and it may not be impossible to buy one acre of land from those people who are going to starve to death. If you have food, you are afraid that you will not have land? The kid surnamed Chen doesn't know the market of grain prices in the year of the catastrophe, so we don't lose money. ”

When Wei Xuanzhen heard this, her mind suddenly moved.

He was indeed furious, but if you think about it carefully, what Huang Chenggong said is not unreasonable, it is impossible to grow grain in the field this year, and the grain in the imperial court will not last long, Guanzhong is the granary of the world, there is a shortage of grain here, and within this year, I don't know how many people will starve to death.

Generally in such a catastrophic year, there are bound to be countless poor people who sell their property cheaply in order to survive, and those who have food in their hands will not only not be damaged by the disaster, but can take this opportunity to make huge profits.

The Wei family has land, and nearly half of the land in this Jingzhao Mansion is in the hands of the Wei family.

What's more, Chen Zhengtai is not 50 catties of grain to buy an acre of grain field, but 50 catties of grain to buy an acre of land, the biggest difference is that grain fields are very valuable, but there are many kinds of land, some are mountainous, some are hilly...... If this price was in previous years, of course, it was a jump price, but it can be ...... now

Wei Xuanzhen stared at Chen Zhengtai silently.

Huang Chenggong understood the proprietor's intentions, looked chic and wise, and said to Chen Zhengtai: "Fifty catties of grain...... According to the old man, eighty catties of grain are enough. ”

Chen Zhengtai was happy: "Oh, since that's the case, then forget it, if the Wei family doesn't sell it, I'll go to the Du family." ”

Listen to it...... Wei Xuanzhen was anxious.

Huang Chenggong immediately said: "Erpi County man, and slowly, if you have something to say." ”

Chen Zhengtai smiled.

The Wei family is in great need of food now, and this disaster is an excellent opportunity for the Wei family, so Wei Xuanzhen is willing to sell 30,000 acres of land in the west of the city to trade with Chen Zhengtai.

As soon as Wei Xuanzhen opened the mouth of 30,000 acres of land, Huang Chenggong was in a hurry, and he hurriedly glanced at Wei Xuanzhen, and said in a low voice: "30,000 acres...... The amount of food that can be exchanged is only fifteen thousand stones, proprietor...... It's still too little, to make up for the losses of the Wei family before...... It's better to sell more, and the land west of the city is ...... Mostly barren...... When the Wei family has enough food, just wait for the people's livelihood to wither in this pass, and then use the grain to exchange people and land, and then they will definitely be able to make a lot of money. “

The abacus played well, but Wei Xuanzhen trembled, he was a little unconfident, this matter is too big, this is the land handed down by the ancestors and ancestors, he glanced at Huang Chenggong hesitantly.

Huang Chenggong gave him a determined look, and said in a low voice: "Now, there is no way out, the land west of the city is already barren, the Wei family is mostly mountainous land, and the food is the most valuable at the moment. ”

Wei Xuanzhen gritted her teeth: "Okay." ”

So he raised his eyes and continued to negotiate with Chen Zhengtai.

signed the contract at the moment, Chen Zhengtai wanted to send off the guests, and Wei Xuanzhen also planned to leave.

Huang Chenggong grabbed Wei Xuanzhen, and then looked at Chen Zhengtai quietly: "Erpi County man, and slowly, since the negotiation is completed, why not sign a contract early and deliver the grain and land." ”

"In such a hurry?" Chen Zhengtai was surprised.

"The sooner the better, we will have the title deed delivered, and the grain...... The Wei family is naturally here, and they will be transported away today, although it is not early now, it must not be delayed. Sure, this is also easy to do, within today, everyone will get things done and each will feel at ease. "Huang Chenggong's attitude is very resolute.

His self-confidence made Wei Xuanzhen gradually settle down, and I have to say that Mr. Huang is still very wise, and he dreams a lot at night.
