"Zhuang owner, it seems that it is almost here, just now our scouts found the scouts who were secretly investigating in the village, and almost washed the Dragon King Temple in a big water." Kong Ergou said with a smile.

"Oh? Is it? It seems that in the future, Ergou, you must train the 100 members of the Chen military camp who stayed behind this time, but you can't let them fall behind in military quality in the future. Yuan Chao also said half-jokingly and half-seriously when he heard it.

The news that the owner of the village is about to lead the army has spread all over Dongxiangzhuang, and the members of the Chen military camp who are not on duty are all like they want to be new aunts, spontaneously dressed up neatly, and go with their spears to welcome the return of the owner.

As soon as Wang Ze heard the news, he immediately took the lead and stood at the entrance of the village, looking into the distance.

After a while, in the snowy place in the distance outside Zhuangzi, a black crowd appeared, which began to look like a black dot, and slowly saw the whole picture clearly, and the whole team was in strict formation, like a giant python, extending more than a mile.

"I didn't expect that when the owner of the village set off, he just took a cloth coat and brought about 300 people, and when he came back, he became a hundred households with six products and 800 people." Wang Ze also listened to the report of the person who rushed back in advance, when he first heard the news, he felt unbelievable, thinking that he had done a good job in Baoding according to the requirements of the owner, and had made achievements, thinking that he could surprise the owner once, but he didn't expect that this time the owner surprised himself first.

The army, which stretched more than a mile away, was like a snake, and the vanguard was the first to arrive at the gate of Zhuangzi, and Yuan Chao and Sun Zushou were in the vanguard.

"Owner, you can be regarded as coming back, we are looking forward to the return of the army every day." Wang Ze said excitedly from the bottom of his heart.

It is said that scholars are arrogant in their bones, but in fact, businessmen also have their own arrogance, after all, one of the most difficult things in the world is to make money, and such a difficult thing can be caught under their wisdom, and ordinary people naturally can't let them admire it from the bottom of their hearts.

However, Wang Ze got along with Yuan Dynasty, but he always felt that the owner of the Yuan Dynasty had his own ideas, and the idea of the owner of the village was not only reflected in the governance of his own Chen Zhuang, but even Wang Ze thought that he was the best at doing business in his life, and Yuan Chao's vision and courage were completely incomparable to him.

Of course, he didn't know that Yuan Chao's keen business sense did exist with courage and daring to think and do, and it was also based on the advantages of later generations.

"Brother Sun, this is the Wang Ze I often mention to you, Mr. Wang's business is top-notch, and most of my Zhuangzi and my Chen Junying rely on their hard work to operate normally."

"Wang Ze, this is our Chen Zhouwei commander General Sun Zushou, and he is also the eldest brother I recognize, who can be called loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and is our model." Yuan Chao also praised his eldest brother Sun.

The two also greeted each other, and Wang Ze was even more obedient and didn't want money, so that Sun Zushou, who had always been stereotypical, laughed heartily.

After meeting, Wang Ze and Zhou Weihang also worked together to encamp the entire army.

Yuan Chao also set up camp and promised to let the soldiers who had suffered with him all the way open to eat this time.

provoked the army to smile.

……

After eating, Yuan Chao, who took a hot bath and changed into clean clothes, sat on a chair and sipped tea in the room prepared by Wang Ze.

"Alas, it's pleasant, it's been a long time." Yuan Chao was under the base of the city wall of the capital, and he had thought about such a comfortable feeling for so long, and today it can be regarded as a reality.

Yuan Chao, who was enjoying himself, heard a knock on the door from outside the door.

"Come in."

"Huh? Wang Ze? Aren't you ready to take a break after eating and ready to report on the progress of your business now? Yuan Chao saw that it was Wang Ze who came in, and said with a smile.

"Owner, please don't blame Wang Ze for bothering, I really want to report the good news of the business to the owner." The irrepressible smile on Wang Ze's face provoked his entire slightly chubby face like a meatball blooming in a hot pot.

Yuan Chao has always been concerned about his grain business, and he was going to talk to Wang Ze in detail early tomorrow morning, but he didn't expect Wang Ze to be even more angry than him, so he came to report in the evening.

"Let's talk about it. What is the good news that makes us so happy Mr. Wang Da. Yuan Chao is also interested now, put down the tea cup in his hand, and is ready to have a good chat with Wang Ze.

"Owner, how to say it, in one sentence, we have made a fortune."

"After you led the team to the north, I followed your instructions to explore the grain market in Baoding and nearby extensively, and I am also looking for potential cooperative businesses."

"The price of this grain is really a market every day, since the day the owner led the army to the north, the grain has risen from three taels of silver and one stone to a terrifying ten taels of silver and one stone today." Wang Ze said that the spittle was flying, not that Wang Ze was not calm enough, but that the benefits that could reach several times after excluding the cost were too calm.

"Wait, are you saying that the price of food has rushed to the 1021 stone mark? Will the people still live? Didn't I tell you to press the grain to about seven taels? You're too far away from seven taels. Yuan Chao was dizzy and happy at first when he heard this, but he instantly thought that the price was too outrageous, and suspected that Wang Ze was only seeking profits to fuel the rise in food prices.

Wang Ze listened to Yuan Chao's scolding and was also confused for a while, this time he could earn so much, and the owner of the village was still angry and criticized himself? Could it be that the owner of the farmer is a difficult person to serve?

However, Wang Ze carefully tasted Yuan Chao's words, and it turned out that the owner of the village thought that he had manipulated the rise in grain prices.

"Owner, how dare I not listen to your words, at the beginning of December, the price of grain rose to about five taels, if it was my own business, I would have completely thrown it out, I just listened to the owner and waited until the end of December."

"Around December 20th, when we were about to enter the new year, the price of grain rushed to eight or nine taels, and I remembered the arrangement that the owner asked me to keep the highest grain price at about seven taels, and began to officially release grain on a large scale, ready to wash down the price of grain."

"But it didn't work, Baoding Mansion went up to the Baoding Prefect, down to the major chambers of commerce in Baoding, all openly and secretly asked us to follow the market price, if we casually rush the price, they will join forces with various ways to embarrass us, so I only recognize the lowest price they set for the lowest price of ten taels of silver and one stone." Wang Zecheng said in fear, for fear that the owner of the village would be unhappy and scold him again.

Yuan Chao was much quieter after listening to it this time.

Yes, I want to suppress the price of grain, but I move other people's cheese, and the price of grain is no longer something I can control.

"Wang Ze, you have done a good job and made so much money for us." Yuan Chao thought that he was too out of shape just now, and hurriedly appeased Wang Ze, who was reprimanded.

"Owner, I still have a lot to ...... you."
