Why after the resumption of the two watches, the subscription recommendations have been dropped, crit! )

In Lianghong Restaurant, the door is full of birds.

Since Liang Hong boarded Chen Xiaoting's boat, his business has been getting better and better, and it used to be full of diners every day.

The reason why there is no one today is because there is a sign hanging at the door, which reads "Today's Charter".

In fact, those who can charter a venue here in Liang Hong now can not only get a certain degree of financial resources, but also have a bad status.

Therefore, when the drinkers of the past ate here, they speculated that it was the big man who was here today.

Except for a few grain merchants invited to the scene today, few people can be right.

was invited to tea by Chen Xiaoting, and the few grain merchants present had some shadows in their hearts, but no one dared to be late.

The few grain merchants who failed to arrive in time last time have long been suppressed to the point that their shops have closed, giving the market to their peers in vain.

The last time the collective price increase of grain, the Xiao family made the most money, and after defeating the Yan family, they became the largest grain merchants in Luyang City.

As the shopkeeper of the restaurant, Liang Hong welcomed guests in the restaurant at this time, and there were only five guests today, which was the largest five grain merchants in Luyang City.

In order to inquire about the grain market and the related black market, Chen Xiaoting only invited five of them.

The five grain merchants, led by Xiao Yihai, came to the elegant seat on the second floor and sat down in the set positions.

While waiting, someone finally couldn't help but say, "Brother Xiao, Lord Chen invited us over today, I don't know what happened?"

Xiao Yihai is the big brother, so these people naturally want to ask him.

Xiao Yihai didn't know about this, but he could guess some, because he had already received the abundance in the yamen of the transfer envoy.

In addition to dealing with customers, it is also instinctive to pay attention to the movement of the yamen, because this yamen has a huge influence on the grain market.

"Xiao doesn't know, instead of guessing here, it's better to wait for Lord Chen to come over, and everything will be known by then!" Xiao Yihai said in a deep voice.

In fact, Chen Xiaoting could have arrived earlier, but putting these people here to dry was also one of the means for him to exert pressure on others.

About half an hour later, Chen Xiaoting went upstairs accompanied by Liang Hong.

Seeing him arrive, several people in the room stood up and saluted, "Meet Lord Chen!"

Chen Xiaoting came to the north of the room, and said to the few people in the room: "Don't be polite, sit down!"

When these people sat down, Chen Xiaoting said to Liang Hong on the side: "; You go out first, I have something to talk to these guys! ”

Even henchmen like Liang Hong were driven out, and everyone knew that this matter was not simple today, so they all cheered up one by one.

When Chen Xiaoting turned his head, he asked with a smile: "You guys, your business is good, right?"

There was a large shortage of grain that was often closed, which would have seriously affected the price of grain, but now the news is controlled in a small area, so there is no panic.

As long as there is no panic, then food prices do not fluctuate much.

At this time, Xiao Yihai said: "Thanks to Lord Hongfu, my business is okay!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yihai continued: "But ...... This year, the weather is not beautiful, and the grain production in all parts of Yongxi has decreased, and I am afraid that in the next month or two, the price of grain will rise some! ”

Xiao Yihai can be regarded as giving Chen Xiaoting a preventive vaccination, just to explain that the price of food will rise in the future because of the compulsion of the situation.

But when Chen Xiaoting heard the news, he was very worried, and this was the first time he had heard of the reduced grain output this year.

If the food production is reduced to the point where the people can't have enough to eat, it will have even worse and more serious consequences.

"Reduced production? And you can still receive food in your shop? Chen Xiaoting asked.

Xiao Yihai replied: "Returning to adults, although the output has been reduced a little, it is not so serious, but the grain circulating in the market is less than in the past."

That means that the people and landlords who farm the land still have surplus food at home, but it is less than in previous years.

This made Chen Xiaoting feel at ease, and after asking these people about their business, Chen Xiaoting planned to get back to business.

I only heard him say: "I invited you here today, I have something to ask you!"

It's finally here...... Everyone secretly said in their hearts.

Under everyone's attentive gaze, Chen Xiaoting said: "One thing, there is a black market in Luyang City to trade grain, how much do you know?"

Black market trading grain? Xiao Yihai pondered this sentence in his heart, and then he concluded that today's incident was related to the transfer envoy Yamen.

Most of the food embezzled by those people in the yamen was traded with those people in the black market, and Chen Xiaoting must be asking now to verify this matter.

According to the known information, it is not surprising that Xiao Yihai can guess these, and the five people present have basically guessed them.

Under Chen Xiaoting's gaze, Xiao Yihai was a little embarrassed and said: "My lord, most of the things in the black market are black and white, and sometimes black is white, and sometimes white is black!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help asking, "Then you, are you black or white?"

Xiao Yihai didn't dare to answer this question, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said: "My lord, I and these people haven't secretly resold this thing for a long time!"

The five people, including Xiao Yihai, were a little nervous, they didn't want to get into trouble.

After all, the transfer caused the officials in the yamen to capsize, and if they were not careful, they would only die faster and more miserably.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little solemn, only Chen Xiaoting's mentality was still peaceful, and when he saw him, he picked up the teacup and said: "Don't be nervous, the shocking call to you is to ask, you just answer honestly!"

But the effect of his words was not great, and some people were still sweating on their foreheads, secretly saying that today's banquet was really a Hongmen banquet.

Then Chen Xiaoting asked: "You are all experts in pouring grain, and those who have the biggest appetite in the black market, put them all out and talk about it!"

The ones with the biggest appetite are those few, and Xiao Yihai and the others all know about them, so they list them one by one.

"Back to the adult's words, Wu Laosan of Nancheng ......"

"And Liu Jiahe outside the city, Liu Hu ......"

……

In just three minutes, eight black market merchants who poured grain were listed.

This opened Chen Xiaoting's eyes, it turned out that this market was so active, which he never expected.

Chen Xiaoting then asked, "Is there anyone here who can eat more than 1,000 stones of grain at a time?"

If it's all petty fighting, that's not the person Chen Xiaoting is looking for.

But in the end, Chen Xiaoting didn't get the answer he wanted, because these black market businessmen had the greatest appetite, and they could only eat five or six hundred stones.

One thousand stones is Chen Xiaoting's line, but these people are a big difference.

"Think again!" Chen Xiaoting said in a cold tone.

His words were murderous, which made the hearts of several people present tighten, and they racked their brains to think about it.

After a while, a merchant said, "My lord, I know a person below, but he doesn't do this business now!"

Chen Xiaoting suddenly became interested, and immediately asked, "Say!"

The man said: "There was originally a Tian Changfu, and the scale of his convoy was large enough, and the largest one when he poured grain was the largest, and he sent 2,000 stone of grain from Luyang to Ganquan!"

Sending 2,000 stone of grain from Luyang in Yongxi to Ganquan in Liangzhou, this person's strength is indeed strong enough...... Chen Xiaoting smacked his tongue in the case.

Just as this person was about to speak, Xiao Yihai grabbed the words and said: "My lord, this Tian Changfu also knows that he was indeed powerful back then, but after being jointly suppressed by other families, he quit this business five years ago!"

Chen Xiaoting nodded, and then asked, "What was he doing after he quit?"

Xiao Yihai ignored the dissatisfaction of the person who had just answered, and replied: "Tian Changfu doesn't do our job, but his team is still there, and now he is doing it to help with the transfer!"

In other words, this guy has directly transformed from a treasure merchant to a logistics company?

This is the person, Chen Xiaoting said secretly in his heart.

Then he stood up and said to everyone present: "Everyone, today's conversation must be kept secret, if anyone leaks it......

Chen Xiaoting didn't say the latter words, but it was because he didn't say that everyone understood.

"Don't worry, my lord, I won't confide it out!"
