Chapter 508: Selling Food (Asking for Subscription!) )
For the vast majority of ordinary people in Jinling, the explosion last night may have just thought it was a thunderbolt, and when they woke up, they didn't remember it.
But the Zhao family is different.
The sound of the explosion came from their backyard, and Zhao Baiyu was woken up by fright, and then he heard a noise from the backyard, and he put on his clothes indiscriminately, and was about to run to the backyard in a hurry.
On the way, I happened to meet a few guards who withdrew from the backyard, and after inquiring, I found out that someone had come to Zhao's house to grab food!
Zhao Baiyu is so angry!
He had never thought of such a thing!
Who dares to be so bold, doesn't he want to live in Jinling?
In addition to being angry, Zhao Baiyu was about to beckon the guards to rush to the backyard, but he didn't even listen to the persuasion of the injured guards, and rushed into the backyard with more than a dozen guards - the result can be imagined......
originally thought that by reporting their name, this group of people would be able to have some fear, but who knew that after they learned that he was Zhao Baiyu, they actually swarmed up and beat him up......
Fortunately, a few guards were more heartfelt, and they blocked a lot of punches and kicks for him before pulling him out.
Back in the front yard, Zhao Baiyu trembled with anger, the food in the backyard was his lifeblood, and he was counting on using them to make some money after overthrowing Wang Chengen, if they were all snatched away - then how would the Zhao family grain village gain a foothold in Jinling in the future?
But there are too many of them, and with less than 100 guards in the house alone, it is simply a mantis arm as a car, and it doesn't work, so Zhao Baiyu immediately ordered someone to report to the official!
The official report was naturally the prefect Wang Chengen, because Zhang Twelve had predicted it in advance, so Wang Chengen calculated it in advance, from notifying the arrest to gathering, and then giving a lecture, setting off, and when he walked to the Zhao Family Grain Village, it was already nearly an hour and a half later.
At that time, Zhao Baiyu stood in the empty backyard of Zhao's Grain Village, looking at the empty granary, and wanted to cry without tears!
Wang Chengen was shocked and happy, but he couldn't show it on his face, said some comforting words, and promised to investigate the matter thoroughly, and give Zhao Baiyu justice, and then left.
Before leaving, he took a few more glances at the backyard of the Zhao family, which was blown up by force, and was shocked, and he didn't know how Zhang Twelve broke through such a strong city wall, if he used this kind of ability to attack the city - the picture is too beautiful to think!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When the people of Jinling knew the news that the backyard of the Zhao family was chiseled, it was already morning, and the news spread to the hundreds, and it was soon known by the people of Jinling.
Everyone has seen the majestic appearance of the courtyard wall of the Zhao family, and when they heard that the courtyard wall was actually made a big hole, they were very shocked and ran to see the excitement.
When they saw the empty granaries in the backyard through the broken courtyard wall, everyone nodded thoughtfully: it turned out that the Zhao family had always said that they didn't have much grain to do.
Look at this appearance, where is there not much food in stock, there is no more at all!
However, the curiosity about the Zhao family did not last long, and everyone left quickly.
They still remember that yesterday Wang Chengen promised to sell grain at a low price today, but they wanted to go and see if it was really as he said, if it was fifty wen a pound of grain, they would have to buy more!
However, some people who bought grain in Zhao's store two days ago hoped that it was fake, so that they could receive five taels of silver......
The early sun has not yet risen, and many people have gathered outside the Wang family.
As soon as the hour came, the gate of the palace was wide open.
The Wang family worked together to carry out dozens of bags of grain, set up tables and chairs in front of the door, and began to sell grain.
And the two ugly men who are responsible for selling grain are two ugly men with a northern accent, which naturally confirms the statement of Taizhou Grain Village, and these two ugly men are Du Lang and Lu San.
Seeing that there was really fifty yuan of cheap grain to buy, everyone was happy, and the outside of Wang's house immediately became lively, and the surrounding water was impassable.
Wang Chengen deliberately dispatched a lot of catchers in the prefect's mansion to maintain order under the command of Lu Sanpi, and in one morning's effort, he sold nearly 100,000 catties of grain.
Most of the people had bought food, and with a satisfied expression on their faces, they went back to their homes, and by the afternoon there were far fewer people who had come to buy food than in the morning.
Grain was still being sold outside the door, and in the front hall of the Wang family, there were good wine and food on the table, and everyone was full of smiles.
"Zhang Gongzi, Wang gives you a drink! If it weren't for your advice, I'm afraid Wang wouldn't have been able to pass this hurdle this time! β
Wang Chengen raised the wine glass and drank it all, Zhang Twelve was not ambiguous, drank a glass, and then said with a smile: "The prefect of the king praised it falsely!" The prefect of the king is honest and honest, benefiting one party, and the people love him, so even if he can't come down, the prefect will definitely turn the danger into a disaster! β
Zhang Twelve is not too embarrassed, so he can only be modest.
A few catties and taels by himself, Wang Chengen knew very well that he was not dazzled by the short-term victory, but asked: "But I also want to ask Zhang Gongzi, although we have taken a lot of grain this time, it is not a problem to solve the rations of the people of Jinling, but if you want to solve the problem of food for all the people in the south, it is far from enough!" β
After all, in addition to the "four major grain farms in Jinling", there are dozens of small grain farms of all sizes, which are supplied by all the grain farms every year.
And they took over the Zhao family's grain farm, which was more than enough for the people of Jinling, but it was a little difficult to distribute all this grain to other southern places.
Moreover, most of the composition of this wave of displaced people comes from southern cities other than Jinling, if these grain farms still do not reduce their prices, no one can guarantee that there will be no more displaced people's tides!
Zhang Twelve heard this, and said with a smile: "The prefect doesn't have to worry, the countermeasures have already been thought of!" β
"Oh? Can Zhang Gongzi talk about it? β
Wang Chengen asked excitedly.
So Zhang Twelve said what he thought in his heart, Wang Chengen listened, although he still felt a little incredible, but this time he had a lot less doubts, even the things of last night could be done, what else could he not do?
After saying this, Wang Chengen, who was in good spirits, drank a lot, and the meal was also eaten from afternoon to evening, Wang Chengen finally got drunk and was called by Mrs. Wang to send it down.
Wang Chengen left, Wang Ba was finally able to speak, and was about to pull Zhang Twelve to ask him how he made a big hole in the backyard of the Zhao family, but who knew that Zhang Twelve said that he had a headache after drinking too much and wanted to go back to sleep, leaving Wang Ba to sit alone in the front hall, quite lonely.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Drinking such a little turbid wine, Zhang Twelve is only slightly drunk, and he will not get drunk when he is drunk.
The reason why he left was because he saw Wang Yunshi go back after eating, and he hadn't talked to her properly in the past two days.
Wang Yunshi paced into the room, and was about to close the door, when a figure flew directly into her room, and then took her hand and closed the door.
In the dead of night, lonely men and widows.
The hand was still held by Zhang Twelve, and Wang Yunshi's face turned red all of a sudden.
"What do you do? Not afraid of being seen? β
Wang Yunshi's heart was beating hard, she pretended to be calm and shook off his hand, came to the window, looked out and saw that there was no one, then she was relieved, and said this while closing the window.
When Zhang Twelve heard this, his eyes rippled: What does this mean? Does it mean that as long as no one sees it, she doesn't mind doing something inappropriate for children? And he closed the window, this lonely man and widow, dry wood and fireβit's a very red chicken to think about!
But he thinks a little too much, Wang Yunshi's mind is not as dirty as his.
"If someone sees you in my room, you should be suspicious! What if someone guesses who you really are? β
Wang Yunshi said with a frown.
Zhang Twelve smiled bitterly, it turned out that she was worried about this, because her mind was a little dirty!
Everything Zhang Twelve did in Jinling City was done as "Zhang Sanzhu", which can be said to be in the past, and it doesn't matter if someone investigates it afterwards, after all, after he takes off his makeup, the person "Zhang Sanzhu" no longer exists.
But if someone knows his true identity, it will be a little troublesome.
Wouldn't he know the law and break the law? Phishing law enforcement?
However, these are just what Wang Yunshi thinks herself, she is smart and knows how to consider others, she is afraid that Zhang Twelve will reveal her identity and be attacked by a group of people, which is really troublesome.
Zhang Twelve could understand her thoughts, but he was not afraid.
Wang Yunshi was worried about him because she didn't know that Zhang Twelve was in Jingzhou, not to mention his illustrious family background, and his relationship with Emperor Tang was extraordinary, so he was not afraid of what others said about him!
To make him unhappy, the token was taken out and their heads were cut off!
But he couldn't be so violent, and said with a smile: "You are too worried, anyway, it won't take a few days to solve this grain price matter, and then I will naturally show my true face!" β
Hearing his words, Wang Yunshi was silent for a while, and there was a faint sadness floating between her eyebrows.
yes, in a few days, the matter will be settled......
Looking up at Zhang Twelve, he bit his lip and asked softly, "The matter is settled...... Are you ...... Should I go back right away? β
He didn't belong here in the first place, and besides, there were those girls in Jingzhou who were still waiting for him, so he had no possibility of staying here......
Wang Yunshi was sad and annoyed, and she had a lot of things to say to him, but now when he was standing in front of her, she couldn't open her mouth......
Zhang Twelve smiled: "How can you go back so quickly?" This time I came to Jinling, in addition to solving the problem of food prices and the tide of displaced people, I also had some other things to do. β
Seeing that Wang Yunshi had doubts on her face, Zhang Twelve continued: "You know the Twelve Theater, right? That's my industry, too! I want to open a theater in Jinling, and when the food price is resolved, I will inspect it here! When the time comes, I have to help me work with me, after all, you will stay in Jinling for a longer time! β
After listening to this, Wang Yunshi's face looked a lot better, if his theater was opened here, then he would come often in the future - even if they couldn't be together every day, she would be content......
Zhang Twelve was about to say something more when he saw a lantern outside the window through the dim candle in the room.
Wang Yunshi's wing room is the most remote one in this row of wings, this lantern is coming in this direction, there is only one destination, naturally here!
"Someone's coming!"
Zhang Twelve reminded softly.
Wang Yunshi came back to her senses at this time, turned her head to look, and also found the moving lantern, her heart was broken, how could she forget about it!
If her father Wang Chengen is drunk on weekdays, although he does not have vices such as drunkenness, he has another problem, that is, he snores loudly and can snoring in the middle of the night!
Her mother can't stand this the most, so every time Wang Chengen gets drunk, Mrs. Wang will come to Wang Yunshi's room to sleep at night after making arrangements, and it must still be the case today!
If it was the original, Wang Yunshi would definitely not have a second word.
But not today!
Zhang Twelve is in the room, and if she goes out now, she will definitely be touched by her mother, how will she explain it then?
Wang Yunshi didn't have time to think about it, first blew out the candle, and then said to Zhang Twelve anxiously: "Hurry up and hide!" Don't be seen by my mother! β
And she was thinking about what excuse she could find to send her mother away!
This is the first time Zhang Twelve has come to Wang Yunshi's room, and after looking left and right, he found that this room was not big, but it was still divided into two small rooms by a curtain in the middle.
The things outside are relatively simple, except for the table and chair in the middle, there is also a desk.
In this place, no one can be hidden if killed, and Zhang Twelve's eyes were aimed at the compartment behind the curtain - there is no doubt that it is Wang Yunshi's boudoir!
looked sideways at Wang Yunshi and found that she was a little distracted, she had already walked to the door, and gently opened a slit to observe the scene outside the door.
Zhang Twelve didn't greet her anymore, opened the curtain, and came directly to the inner room.
Walking in, there was a familiar aroma, which was the same as the fragrance on Wang Yunshi's body, but the fragrance on Wang Yunshi's body was very light, and the aroma in this boudoir was a little strong, Zhang Twelve couldn't help but take a deep breath.
There is a small dresser in the boudoir, and then there is a jujube wood bed with a long spinning curtain, through visual inspection, this bed is a bit small, for Zhang Twelve who wants to show some mastery, bad review!
Just as Zhang Twelve was thinking about it, a knock on the door came in.
Wang Yunshi did not speak, and the room seemed unusually quiet.
At this time, Mrs. Wang's voice also came in.
"Yunshi, it's my mother."
Mrs. Wang outside the door was a little puzzled, it is said that Wang Yunshi should have seen Wang Chengen drunk at the dinner table just now, it turned out that as long as Wang Chengen was drunk, she would definitely come here to spend the night at night, what happened today?
Wang Yunshi still didn't speak, she originally thought that her mother would not get a response, she would think that she was asleep, and then go back by herself, but Mrs. Wang's next move frightened her!
"Yunshi, then I'll come in directly!"
