Chapter Ninety-Eight: Building a Granary in the Midst of Great Disasters (Part I)
Yang Bao was startled and shouted, "Ah, no, he's ...... He ......"
Although Yang Bao grabbed Lao Wang in time and did not make Lao Wang fall into the water, Lao Wang fell on the deck like a loss of strength, and his head was plunged straight into the water, and everyone hurriedly helped him up, only to see him sigh with water stains on his face: "Alas...... Alas......"
Su Yang'er was relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Uncle Wang, Yang'er won't make you angry again in the future." ”
When Lao Wang heard the voice, he opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw Su Yang'er, he seemed to have recovered a little bit of his senses, and said, "Serving your little ancestor, I won't live for a few more years, so it's better to let me drown here." ”
Su Yang'er smiled: "If you drown, then there will be no one to serve me." ”
Lao Wang sat up, looked around, and saw several young people eagerly surrounding, and his heart was also comforted. It's just that the saddest time in his life is today, when he suddenly looks back and looks at the water village from afar, but he only sees the water waves, and he can't see anything for a long time. For a while, I thought: "Even if it is providence and fate, neither of us can turn back." ”
Aunt Mei has done a lot of evil over the years, and it is impossible for the government not to know that she is so majestic in Taihu Lake, but no one dares to ask her for her guilt, which shows that she has become a great coward of the climate, if she calls the great sin a bitter sea, then Aunt Mei will die if she turns back and goes ashore. Lao Wang knows this, so even if the two of them have not yet ended, it is impossible to reunite after breaking the mirror.
Seeing his expression, Su Yang'er asked in a low voice, "Uncle Wang, do you still want to go back to be the king of water?" ”
Lao Wang was angry and funny: "What a water king, a mountain king, I think you are the biggest king." ”
Seeing that he finally regained his spirits, Su Yang'er was overjoyed and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Wang, why are you impersonating?" ”
Of course, she knew that Lao Wang could not be her father, but she was curious about the relationship between him and Aunt Mei, she never dared to think that this long-winded old slave next to her, who worked hard every day in a family of firewood, rice, oil and salt, would have such a legendary relationship.
Lao Wang shook his head, his eyes were looking into the distance, as if he was contemplating the past, leisurely, but finally sighed: "This is an adult's business, what do you ask from your child's family, the words you heard were arranged by the uncle to listen to the mother-in-law, you should not hear anything, you can't be so naughty in the future, let alone run to Taihu Lake, you know?" ”
Su Yang'er said "oh", but she was a little disappointed, but she vaguely guessed something, but she didn't dare to ask again, she was afraid that the old Wang who hooked again was sad and sad, and said secretly: "Uncle Wang has been a slave to my family for a lifetime, presumably because he was afraid that people would know that he was a slave and refused to be good with him, so he pretended to call my father's name." ”
For the rest of her life after the catastrophe, Su Yang'er's mind is really a lot more delicate, and she is a lot more well-behaved, Su Yang is like this, she doesn't shed tears when she sees the coffin, and she cries more fiercely when she sees the coffin, she doesn't need Lao Wang to preach, she will not dare to act so willfully in the future.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but whisper again: "Then you can't force me to marry in the future." ”
Lao Wang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and when he first found that she was gone, he had already expected that it must be because of the marriage mentioned by Su Weng, so he hurriedly searched around, thinking that if he found her, he would teach her a hard lesson, and then tie her up to her mother-in-law's house.
But since he met Aunt Mei and escaped from the sky, Lao Wang had another feeling in his heart, and only sighed that this world has made people, he has lived empty for more than 50 years, and he still doesn't know what it is, and he doesn't have the heart to interfere with Su Yang'er on this matter, and said secretly: "That's it." ”
Then he said: "Okay, good, as long as the little ancestor is obedient and obedient, he will do whatever he wants at home." ”
When Lu Jingyuan heard the word "marry", he immediately pricked up his ears, stepped forward, and said, "What do you marry?" ”
Su Yang'er pouted and said, "You go away, why are you everywhere." ”
Then he said happily: "Uncle Wang, this is what you said, I will definitely listen to you obediently, then I will do it!" ”
Lao Wang was stunned, frowned, and said, "Yang'er, what do you want to do?" ”
Su Yang'er said: "I want to build a cellar and a granary at home, I still want to buy 6,000 grains to store, I still want to ......"
Lao Wang was surprised: "Slow, Yang'er, what are you doing with buying so much grain, this is not a disaster year......
Before he finished speaking, Su Yang'er hurriedly reached out and grabbed his beard, and said, "Uncle, didn't you say that as long as I am obedient and obedient, I can do whatever I want at home?" ”
She has been planning this plan for a long time, and the only obstacle is that the old Wang, who is in charge of the financial power in the family, is trying to take advantage of his emotional instability to force him to agree to his plan, only need to buy 5,000 to 6,000 guan of grain, which can be increased tenfold or even dozens of times in the next year's war, and some of it can be kept for his own use.
Based on the current stable grain prices in the Jiangnan area, Shanhe rice is Zhancheng rice, and the grain merchants bid 25 wen a bucket, and it may be even lower to buy directly from the peasants, and the amount of grain that 6,000 guan is enough to buy is as high as an astonishing hundreds of tons.
With this food, she can not only make a lot of money, but also be able to use it in case of emergency.
But such a large sum of money will almost cost one-third of the Su family's copper coins, as for those silver, it is impossible to move, silver is not fully circulated currency at this time, and only when buying valuable real estate and real estate, that is, bulk licensed goods, will people use it.
The position of precious metals in money is more stable than that of artificial money.
If you want to implement the plan, you must obtain Lao Wang's consent, otherwise Su Yang'er will not be able to move a penny.
At this time, Lao Wang was grabbed by her beard, and smiled helplessly for a while: "Yang'er, are you so obedient?" ”
Su Yang'er let go of her little hand and said coquettishly: "Uncle, then do you agree?" ”
Lao Wang hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Yang'er, you buy so much food, our family can't eat it for decades, you should always tell Uncle what you want to do?" ”
Su Yang'er was first overjoyed when she heard this, and then she was dumbfounded, and said in her heart: "I can't tell him that there will be a war next year." ”
Then he said, "Uncle, I'm ...... I want to be a business, I want to be a grain merchant! ”
Hearing this, Lao Wang was surprised: "Then why do you want to be a grain merchant, Yang'er, our Yixing is a small place, and the landlord's family has surplus grain, not to mention that this is not a disaster year, a chaotic year, the world is peaceful, and he can't make much money, not to mention that our family has no customers, you must know that grain merchants are all thousands of miles away to pull grain to the Central Plains to sell." ”
Lao Wang naturally knew that the price of grain changed with the output, when the Hebei Road was flooded, the field was not harvested, he and Su's father saw that the local grain doubled day by day, more than four times, and they both regretted that they could not predict the prophet.
But I am afraid that no one in this world can predict the prophet, the grain store is very common in the Central Plains town, and the grain merchant is not unusual, what is strange is that Su Yang'er suddenly has the idea of fighting grain, and can't help but think: "The little girl's family is whimsical again." ”
Su Yang'er saw that she couldn't make sense of him, and she didn't know how to answer him for a while, so she simply played a scoundrel again.
Then he said: "Uncle, you are lying again, I think I should catch Aunt Mei again......"
When Lao Wang heard the word "Aunt Mei", his heart trembled, and he smiled bitterly: "Okay... Okay, Uncle promised you, it's all right? ”
But he said in his heart: "That's it, she ran out once, almost took my life, she ran out again, maybe she caused some trouble, it is better to spend some money, find something for her to do, and keep her at home, it is worthy of the master, and then think about giving the original price of food to others." ”
Su Yang'er said happily: "Then did you promise me to repair the granary and build the cellar at home?" ”
Lao Wang nodded and said, "Repair, repair, repair." ”
Su Yang'er smiled and said, "What about buying food?" ”
Lao Wang sighed and said, "Buy, buy, everything is up to our little Yang'er's heart." ”
Su Yang'er was overjoyed, but after her biggest wish for dozens of days, she ran to chat with Xiaoling again, and Lu Jingyuan naturally followed suit, Su Qianyi and Yang Bao interjected from time to time, and they were even lively for a while.
After Lao Wang saw that these young people were in great distress, he was so lively in an instant, but there was a desolation in the ground: "My limit is approaching, but I am afraid that I will not see the day when the little lady gets married." ”
Another secret sigh: "Aunt Mei, I didn't live with you back then, you and I can't be together in life, but I hope we can be in the same cave after death." ”
