After Wang Zhihuan dealt with the matter in hand, he went to the major grain stores in the city to inquire about the inventory of rice and grain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Back to the king's paperwork, there are still about 300 buckets of grain in Sujiami's stockpile. Under normal circumstances, it should be able to last for a month, but it is ......"

Wang Zhihuan looked at the Su family's shopkeeper's expression, and said with a smile: "It's just what, the shopkeeper says it's okay." This rice grain is related to the livelihood of the people, and it is a top priority for the country and the people, and no problems are allowed to be hidden. ”

The shopkeeper of the Su family said busily: "That's the case, there have been many surprises for the people who came to buy rice and grain in the past two days. ”

As he spoke, he moved the account book in his hand to Wang Zhihuan and said, "Clerk, you see, in the first five or six days, the daily sales amount was quite normal, and the daily transaction amount was between fifteen buckets. In the past two days, it has increased to as much as 35 dou, and the amount has more than tripled. The old man even wondered if there was some rumor in the market, so that this happened. I also specially asked the guy to go to the market to inquire about one or two, but found nothing. ”

Wang Zhihuan groaned: "In this way, if this abnormal situation continues, and you can't hold on for ten days, there will be a shortage of food?" ”

The shopkeeper of the Su family bowed his head and said, "That's true." ”

Wang Zhihuan frowned and said, "Could someone maliciously store grain?" ”

The shopkeeper of the Su family shook his head and said: "There should be no such possibility, who doesn't know the means of the Guogong?" Making a fortune in front of him is tantamount to asking for a dead end. It's just that according to the experience of the old decay over the years, there is indeed something abnormal in this. Maybe some people hoarded more in order to prevent food shortages. ”

Wang Zhihuan said bluntly: "It is unreasonable, the real rich and wealthy gentry will not come to buy grain at this critical time." By the time the drought came, they should have stockpiled enough food. Instead of choosing to compete with the people for benefits when the disaster is over and food is scarce. You can also see from your account book that all the rice grain is sold in small quantities of four, five, and six liters, and there is no more than one bucket. There must be a problem in this, please pay more attention to the shopkeeper. ”

At this time, the measuring tools were extremely accurate, using a decimal system: one bucket is ten liters, one liter is ten he, one is ten spoons, one spoon is ten copies, and one copy is ten works. This liter of rice is about three catties, which is enough for a family of three to have more than one day's rations.

At this time, the cash-for-work strategy has been implemented for many days, and the people who are willing to participate in the work will receive the corresponding wages every day, which can be said to be remarkable.

In the current situation, everything should be stable.

Why is there such a big increase in grain sales?

Wang Zhihuan pondered in his heart, walked out of the grain store, and passed by the people in Tsing Yi outside the store, and the man shouted when he entered the store: "Shopkeeper, bring me six liters of wheat." ”

With a doubtful heart, Wang Zhilian walked to another rice store in the city, the Longjia rice store.

At the beginning, Pei Min tried to persuade the Long family to open a quarrying workshop, an inkstone workshop, and a stone carving workshop, but the Long family conservatively did not agree, and regrets it to this day.

Now the Long family has convinced Pei Min's means of reaching the sky, and has also developed the business to Shanzhou, opening a rice store that is bigger than Taozhou.

Before Wang Zhihuan had even stepped into the house, he heard someone say, "Shopkeeper, bring me six liters of wheat." ”

The exact same voice appeared in his head.

The same person?

Wang Zhilian quietly hid in the dark, but at a moment, a Mai man walked out of the rice shop.

Although he was just a photo before, Wang Zhilian still recognized him as the rice buyer he met in Sujia Rice Store before.

In a short period of time, I changed a rice merchant to buy rice and specially changed my clothes?

Wang Zhihuan was about to inform the shopkeeper of the Long family to inform Pei Min, but he secretly followed, when suddenly his head slammed, and people knocked him to the ground with a dull stick from behind.

Wang Zhihuan only felt that the world was spinning, and the whole person was dizzy.

**********

Pei Min didn't see Wang Zhihuan in the Jiedu Envoy's mansion the next day, and he felt a little strange in his heart, so he asked Wang Xiaobai to go to Wang Zhilian's residence to see the situation, and asked the neighbors to know that Wang Zhihuan didn't return last night.

Pei Min secretly felt that something was wrong.

After half a month of getting along, Wang Zhilian's character is beyond doubt, even if he really has something, he will at least ask for a leave of absence to explain the situation, and he will never disappear for no reason.

"Immediately go to the major rice shops in the city to inquire about the situation, arrange for the government to guard the pedestrians entering and leaving the city, and strictly check everyone who enters and leaves the city." Pei Min immediately made a decision and issued various instructions.

Now he is the governor of Shanzhou, and he is also the envoy of Longyou Jiedu and the envoy of the inspection, and he is the most powerful one in the entire Shuofang.

This order was given, but in just a few quarters of an hour, Shanzhou completed martial law.

Wang Xiaobai rushed back to the Jiedu Embassy again and reported the situation to Pei Minyu: "Sujia Rice Store and Yujia Rice Store have news of Wang Shushu, and the shopkeepers of several other rice stores have not seen Wang Shushu. According to the statement of the shopkeeper of the Su family rice store, Wang Wenwen should have noticed something unusual, their Su family rice store, the sales of the past few days are extremely problematic, and it is suspected that someone is secretly hoarding grain. ”

Listening to Wang Xiaobai's return, Pei Min's brows couldn't help frowning, and his first reaction was that someone wanted to make a fortune.

I thought about it for a while, but I dispelled this idea again.

This wealth is in danger, but now the entire rice industry in Longyou has made him forcibly unified, and he is not allowed to raise grain prices, and with the support of the state, there is no shortage of food, and there is no room for profiteers to play.

Even a stupid profiteer will not make a big mistake for a little petty profit.

"But it's also true that food sales aren't normal." Pei Min pondered to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "When did Wang Wenwen go to Yujia Mixing, and when did he go to Sujia Mixing?" ”

Wang Xiaobai immediately responded: "The shopkeeper of the Yu family is talking about the hour of unitary, and the shopkeeper of the Su family is saying that there is a moment of unitary time......

Pei Min found the city plan of Shanzhou, found the seats of several rice rows on the map, marked them one by one, and marked the residence of the Jiedu envoy and Wang Zhilian, and connected all the shops into a line with his fingers.

Finally, he pointed to one of the rice rows and said: "Here, Wang Wenshu is on the way to Longjia Rice Shop, or something happened in Longjia Rice Shop." ”

Wang Zhilian's style of acting is very methodical, he will not change generals, waste time, it must be a shortcut to ask.

His first and second rice shops are looking for the Yu family and the Su family, so the third family must be the Long family closest to the Su family.

"Let's go!" Pei Min didn't think about it, and led Wang Xiaobai out.

Gu Xin, Zhang Jiuling, Yuan Luqian, Li Linfu, and Pei Chenlin all have things to deal with in their hands, but he is the most idle one, and he can pull away.

On the one hand, Wang Zhilian is a member of his staff, and on the other hand, he is also a rare handsome man in the world, if there is an accident, it will be a great loss to him and the world.

There is no room for error.
