The old lady said, the master at this level didn't say it, saying that he could only know when he reached this level.

Zhang Xiaowu's family plotted all night, and the next day they didn't do anything, so they all went to pull people. This matter seems to have seen a ray of light in the endless hard work, and I saw the hope of changing the fate of my family, and I must grasp it tightly.

This kind of thing is happening in many families in the capital. In the past half a month since the senior brother and others came to the capital, a sect dedicated to Tianzun has risen rapidly, these people are loosely organized, single-line contact, a large amount of Nanyang rice has been disembarked from Tianjin through secret shipping channels, and it has been contacted outside the city to the congregation, and it has been scattered into the city, and the people who enter the city are carrying various things, which will not attract attention at all.

The barges outside Tanggu maintained a stock of 100,000 quintals at any time. The ants moved to show the effect, and in just half a month, rice sales in the capital have quietly decreased by a third.

In a large mansion, some officials are plotting in a secret room. These people all have rice shops at home, and as long as they make a little money in the capital, they must have backers, and they must take refuge in the officials as the masters of the family, and give them to the cadres for free, otherwise all kinds of things will happen overnight. The light ones are making trouble, and the heavy ones are accused of all kinds of unwarranted things and sent to prison. If the officials lose the struggle and are questioned by the raiders, these merchants will be divided among the winners, and they will have no choice at all, and they will even be cleaned up, and they will send their own people to take over.

"Brother Juren, the recent rice sales have decreased compared to previous years, I don't know if you have noticed."

"Yes, Brother Juren, my family's rice shop has also decreased a lot.

Many people echoed and said that the person named Juren was a head of the household department. "Hmph, what's so strange about this, last year's large-scale grain production began to decrease, and this year's river opened late, and the rice family has risen by almost two percent." Brother Juren pouted and said disdainfully.

"These poor sticks, seeing the price increase, want to be suffered, they have already opened the river, and wait for half a month to reach the price of new rice in Jiangnan. One load of rice can save a hundred Wen. A Ministry official named Huang Xing said.

"Grain is a big thing, and a pound of rice is a penny up. This time I entered all brown rice, a pound of six wen three, if the river is opened, Jiangnan rice to at least six wen, a load of rice to earn less than 200 wen. Director Zhao said.

"Hmph, this time I just came back from Lord Li Sancai, the governor of Caoyun, this year is the first year of the new dynasty, everyone has spent a lot of money to keep their positions, so they have to get it back." Brother Juren said.

"What did Master Lee say?"

"That's right, we can't do without Cao Yun when we make rice, and we must find out Lord Li's opinion on this."

"Master Li has already negotiated with the cabinet, in view of the Tianjin teaching case and the rebellion of the people, the Caoyun Governor's Office must strictly investigate the Beijing-Tianjin exchanges, and the Caoyun boats must also be inspected, and all ships will be stopped at all banknotes, and all kinds of people will be investigated clearly before they can be released, and all civilian ships will be stopped."

"Great, if that's the case, we can fry the price of rice to three taels of silver, and the miscellaneous grains to one tael and five taels of silver. In this way, before the summer grain harvest in May, you can make a lot of money. ”

The big grain merchants in the capital made up their minds to fight the people to the end, and instead of lowering the price, they began to raise prices, creating an atmosphere of panic, and the price of rice and miscellaneous grains rose by almost five cents of silver a day. Many medium-sized people began to be unable to sit still, and when they arrived at Kaihe, then something happened in Tianjin, and rice could not be transported in. With the price increase, sales began to rise.

"How about it, I'm right, these Shengdou small people don't have half a month's worth of grain at home, they can carry it for half a month at most, and when the time comes, there is no new grain on the market, so they have to panic, now that the price of food has risen, how about it, someone will start to buy it,"

"Brother Juren still has a way, these fart people are born cheap, toast and don't eat and drink, or why don't we read the sage book to the emperor to manage the world." A group of officials chimed in.

After five or six days of rising sales, they have risen to one or two cents a load, and strangely enough, sales have begun to decline again. At this time, the 800 Wen japonica rice is finely ground and the rice yield is even lower, and the price of this kind of rice can be sold for at least one or two or six yuan of silver, and the believers already have half of the profits, and the profit is more than 100 percent, which is enough to make people crazy. Everyone was contacting relatives and friends they could find and rushed to join the salt rice road.

The elder brother soon established a network all over the capital and began to manage it closely. Thousands of lines, each with a different name and organizational form, the only common point is to worship Tianzun, this sect is also strange, there are no scriptures, no statues, no tablets, only some gestures, these gestures are strange and abnormal are not in this era, ok gestures, the gesture of raising the middle finger, the gesture of putting down the chin with the thumb and index finger, and then moving the eyebrows left and right, can represent different meanings. When the believers confirm each other, they compare their hearts. Moreover, each courtyard gives meaning under this gesture on its own, and it is not that a courtyard cannot communicate at all. In short, there is no way for people other than believers to confirm that they are believers.

For example, two believers whispered to each other, under the cover of night, in secluded places, abandoned grass gardens, riversides under bridges, ancient temples and ancestral halls, and countless places staged the same scene.

A said, "Ten years of life and death,"

B said, "Pleasant goat and gray wolf." ”

A said, "Shukbeta,"

B said, "The blue cat's words are desolate. ”

Li Jing's bad taste attacked, and he made up a lot of code words, such as A asking B,

"What is the most infuriating thing in the world".

B replied loudly, "Pay slips".

A asked, "What's the explanation?"

B replied: "Look angry, wipe your ass too finely"

This is the era, whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, these strange words, no head and no brain, are extremely weird. It's even more incredible than the various metaphors they know.

So the two pairs of big hands clasped together excitedly. Finally found the organization. The group of people behind the two were also excited.

"Is there rice?"

"There is a new rice that has just arrived, and each person is limited to one bucket"

The elder brother looked at the wealth flowing in like water, and almost woke up with a smile when he wanted to dream, and the project on Shiba Mountain was also carried out with great fanfare. He knew that the price Li Jing gave him was too low, and it was estimated that except for freight and labor, he basically didn't make any money from him. But what he didn't know was. Although on the surface, the cost of a load of rice from Nanyang basically reached two dollars and five cents of silver, but he was not a businessman who didn't know what was going on here.

The rice harvested by Li Jing is not rice, but has to be dried and dried, so that the weight will be reduced by two and a half, and the rice will be loaded onto the ship and will be adrift at sea for 20 days. Dried rice will absorb a lot of water in a humid environment. The weight will increase by another two into five. Added up by two, the rice that Li Jing gave to the senior brother had at least fifty percent of the windfall profits. Li Jing took the quantity, grain and cloth, edible oil, salt and other bulk commodities, this profit is enough to scare people to death.
