Chapter 506: The Plan Begins! (Ask for a subscription!) )
Coming out of the prefect's mansion, Lu Sanpi's excitement was beyond words.
After being the leader of the homeless tide for so many days, this group of people still respects him more, although he was not valued and promoted by Wang Chengen like him, but the homeless army who got five taels of silver is still quite happy.
So Lu Sanpi proposed, let's go to the restaurant together to get drunk and rest!
Although he took the money funded by Zhao Baiyu, he did not starve along the way, but he rarely saw meat, so Lu Sanpi's proposal was immediately recognized by everyone, and a group of people came to the most central street of Jinling City, scattered in all directions, and went to find a restaurant.
Some people even itched in their hearts, trying to enter the "Yunling family" that they had only heard of, but it was still too early, and the girls didn't accept customers, so they could only return in a huff.
If it was put in the original, so many homeless people poured into the restaurant, the restaurant shopkeeper would definitely not be willing to receive it, but now it is not the case, in the morning Wang Chengen distributed five taels of silver to each homeless person The matter has long been spread, so seeing so many people coming, the restaurant shopkeeper attaches great importance to it and immediately orders the kitchen to start.
Therefore, the wine and food were served quickly, and Lu Sanpi and his brothers ate very happily.
After three rounds of drinking, someone ran in from outside the restaurant and shouted: "Big brother, the price of grain in Zhao's grain village has risen again!" β
"What?"
Lu Sanpi drank a little too much, his head was a little dizzy, and when he suddenly heard this, he woke up most of the wine, looked at the homeless brothers who had just come in in incredulously, and asked again: "What you said is true?" β
"Big brother, it's true! It's been spread on the streets! Not long after we entered the city, the price of grain in the Zhao family grain village rose back to the original 400 wen! β
After hearing this, Lu Sanpi fell into deep thought.
This approach is very in line with Zhao Baiyu's style of acting, with his understanding, Zhao Baiyu wants nothing more than to target Wang Chengen again after the displaced people enter the city, through the public anger caused by the immediate price increase!
Now Lu Sanpi has tied himself to Wang Chengen's boat, so naturally he can't let Zhao Baiyu's conspiracy succeed, so he stood up with a wine glass and said, "Brothers, is this wine delicious?" β
"Delicious!"
Although I don't know why Lu Sanpi suddenly came up with such a question, he still answered in unison.
"Is this a good dish?"
"Delicious!"
Even if it is not a field for Lu Sanpi, to be honest, this wine and food is really good for the homeless people who have traveled for many days.
"Then I want to ask my brothers, who let us eat this wine and food?"
Everyone pondered for a moment, and then shouted, "The prefect of the king! β
But isn't it, if it weren't for Wang Chengen's order, they would have come to Jinling City? If it weren't for Wang Chengen's generosity and giving each person five taels of silver, where would they have the money to enter this restaurant?
Hearing this answer, Lu Sanpi smiled, thinking that he had been too worried, it seemed that the effect of these five taels of silver was good, and Wang Chengen's image among the homeless people was still very tall.
So he said: "If you want me to see, this matter of rising grain prices, I'm afraid that those grain farms are in charge of their own affairs!" Wang Zhifu is dedicated to the people, but I didn't expect those grain owners to lose their conscience so much, everyone said, can we let them go? β
"Can't!"
These words successfully ignited the anger in the hearts of the displaced people, who were finally suppressed by five taels of silver, and they all shouted.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Lu Sanpi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry!" Now that the food and wine are all available, everything will wait for you brothers to eat and drink to your heart's content! Let's go down to the prefect's mansion to discuss with the prefect, and it's not too late to come back and make plans! β
He took a sip of his glass and strode out......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Coming out of the restaurant, it didn't take long to reach the prefect's gate.
Lu Sanpi wanted to let the doorman go in to report it, saying that when he asked to see Wang Chengen, who knew that the two doormen were respectful when they saw him, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu is here, is he here to find the prefect Wang?" Come on in! β
Although Lu Sanpi's servants were not much higher than these guards, Wang Chengen said that he would stay by his side in the future, which was much more representative in the eyes of others, so he became respectful of Lu Sanpi's title.
Lord Lu?
This is the first time that Lu Sanpi has been called like this, and he was immediately stunned on the spot, if it wasn't for the doorman to remind him, he was afraid that he would have to be in a daze for a while.
He smiled at the two guards and walked quickly inside, and his determination to do things for Wang Chengen was even stronger.
was led into the lobby, and happened to see Wang Chengen and his brother Zhang Sanzhu.
Zhang Twelve saw Lu Sanpi come in, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Lu!" The younger brother said before that Brother Lu is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he will definitely be reused by the prefect Wang, see what the younger brother said is good, right? β
Lu Sanpi's face was full of joy, but he still said modestly: "Brother Zhang praised it falsely!" Thanks to Brother Zhang's recommendation and Governor Wang's appreciation! β
After saying this, Lu Sanpi's face slowly became serious, he was here to do business, so he hurriedly said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Zhifu, the price of grain in the Zhao family grain village has risen again, I have appeased those homeless brothers, they are now very resentful of the Zhao family grain village, they just don't know what to do next!" β
Hearing this, Wang Chengen nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this Lu Sanpi was not bad, he had just let him take office, and he would enter the role immediately.
"Lu Fuya came at the right time, Wang is talking to Zhang Gongzi about this!"
Lu Sanpi glanced at Zhang Twelve, and immediately became happy, almost forgetting that he was a brother with great powers, with him, there must be a way to solve it, right?
So he smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, do you have a way?" β
Zhang Twelve nodded and said with a smile: "There is a way, but I have to work hard for Brother Lu and your group of homeless brothers, I need them to help do some hard work at night, I don't know if it can be done?" β
Lu Sanpi didn't even think about it, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Brother Zhang, don't worry!" You just have to say the method, and the big brother guarantees that he can lead people to do it! β
nodded with satisfaction, and then Zhang Twelve said his method.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
After Zhang Twelve finished speaking, Lu Sanpi and Wang Chengen were a little confused, and both of them cast suspicious glances at Zhang Twelve.
It's not that the two don't believe Zhang Twelve, but what he said is too unbelievable!
What does it mean that he will bring down all the backyard walls of the Zhao family grain village at night?
They have all seen how high and wide the courtyard walls of the Zhao family grain village are, and the degree of solidity is not much better than that of the Jinling city wall, and one person can collapse all the courtyard walls of the Zhao family, which is a bit of a joke!
Zhang Twelve was a little dissatisfied with the reaction of the two.
"Why, can't you trust me? Then don't listen to it! β
Lao Tzu has worked hard to help you, but you still don't know what to do!
When Wang Chengen heard this, he thought to himself that he had nothing to do anyway, it was better to treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and besides, he had given them so many surprises, maybe it could really be doneβalthough he still felt a little unreliable......
So he sneered: "Zhang Gongzi don't be angry!" Since it was Zhang Gongzi's idea, we naturally believed it! β
And Lu Sanpi saw that Wang Chengen had expressed his position, and he no longer hesitated, and said something to Zhang Twelve and Wang Chengen, and then left, preparing to arrange his homeless brothers.
Lu Sanpi left, Zhang Twelve told Wang Chengen some methods, Wang Chengen nodded vigorously, and after a while, he also went out to prepare.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the morning, there were several major events in Jinling City.
First of all, the displaced people entered the city, most of the people of Jinling have witnessed it with their own eyes, although it is a displaced people, but the performance is beyond the expectations of the people of Jinling, and there is no laziness and chaos, which makes the impression of the people of Jinling on the displaced people change a lot.
As for the second one, it is more infuriating, not long after the displaced people entered the city, the Zhao family grain village suddenly announced that the price of grain has risen again!
Those who had not grabbed the grain before and were ready to get up early tomorrow to grab the grain were dumbfounded, and then they were dissatisfied, and a group of people gathered outside the door of the Zhao family grain village and shouted loudly, threatening to find Zhao Baiyu and said.
Not only that, because there were too many people in front of the Zhaojia Grain Village, and the rest of the people ran to demonstrate outside the gate of other grain farms such as the Hou Family Grain Village, and the atmosphere in the city instantly became tense.
At this time, another notice was posted in the city.
This notice was issued by Wang Chengen, telling the people of the city not to panic, nor to block outside the gate of the grain village, after all, this is against the Tang Dynasty legal calendar.
And Wang Chengen promised again that he had already contacted the grain village in Taizhou, and the grain from the grain village in Taizhou would be transported to Jinling tonight, and early tomorrow morning, the grain would be sold outside Wang's house, fifty wen a catty, and he would never break his promise!
In the end, Wang Chengen also wrote his own name, promising that if he couldn't do it, he would make up five taels of silver to each of the people of Jinling, just like he gave to the homeless people today!
Seeing this notice, the people of Jinling, who were still restless before, slowly calmed down.
The place where Datang produces grain, needless to say in the south, there is Taizhou in the north, and Taizhou has so much grain that it can't be eaten, and it has become the largest turbid wine producing area in the north.
The most important thing is that if Taizhou Grain Village does not come to sell grain tomorrow, it is not bad to take five taels of silver!
If Wang Chengen said this, everyone might still doubt it, but today after seeing Wang Chengen's practice of handing out silver to the homeless people without blinking an eye, he no longer doubted it!
Therefore, as soon as this notice came out, it greatly calmed the uneasy mood of the people of Jinling, and Jinling tended to calm down again......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
There were no people blocking the door, and the people in the grain farms were able to go out.
In the afternoon, Zhao's house, the front hall.
The owners of several grain farms gathered together, all complaining about the unhappiness of being blocked this morning, and as they talked, they talked about Wang Chengen's notice.
"This Wang Chengen won't really contact Taizhou Grain Village, right?"
"Taizhou is vast and sparsely populated, rich in grain, and it can't be sold, otherwise it won't be brewing a lot!"
"If Taizhou Grain Village really comes to sell grain, then what should we do? Won't all our food be smashed in our hands? β
The more everyone discussed, the more worried they became, and finally focused their eyes on Zhao Baiyu, hoping that he could make some suggestions.
"Afraid of what? You don't think about it, how many miles do you have to walk from Taizhou to Jinling? How many robbers are there on the road? Not to mention, we have sold grain for most of our lives, don't you know how much the cost price of this catty of grain is? From Taizhou to Jinling, the freight is more than 50 Wen, he dares to sell 50 Wen a catty, and he will not lose him! β
After Zhao Baiyu finished speaking, everyone immediately had an epiphany when they thought about it.
In comparison, the soil and climate in their south are better than those in Taizhou, and it is easier to grow grain, even so, although the price of a pound of grain is not a loss, but it can't earn much.
From this point of view, what Wang Chengen said about the sale of grain in Taizhou Grain Village is a bit nonsense!
Hou Changrong reacted first, and said with a smile: "It's still Boss Zhao who has insight, and he really wakes up in a dream!" Then Wang Chengen is afraid that he is not worried that the people will gather to make trouble, so he must not make up such an excuse! β
When everyone heard this, they agreed with each other, Hou Changrong waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then looked at Zhao Baiyu and asked, "Boss Zhao, now that the skin has been torn, and the displaced people have also entered the city, what should we do next?" β
Zhao Baiyu thought about it for a while, and today he saw that Wang Chengen was willing to give each homeless person five taels of silver, Zhao Baiyu had a new understanding of Wang Chengen, but he didn't expect that he still had a lot of net worth, maybe it was accumulated when he was in Liangzhou!
But the fact that he can give five taels of silver to each of the homeless people does not mean that he can give five taels of silver to each of the people of Jinling, because the number of people in Jinling is much more than that of the homeless!
Not to mention Wang Chengen, even with Zhao Baiyu's net worth, he can't afford it!
Zhao Baiyu thought about it carefully and thought of only one possibility!
Instead of giving each person five taels of silver, it is better to use these silver to buy food from them, although the price of one catty of four hundred wen is indeed a bit expensive, but five taels of silver can buy more than ten catties! When the time comes, it is said that Taizhou is far away, and the food brought is limited, and each person is limited to two catties, and five taels of silver can be sold to many people! It's much better than giving five taels of silver to one person!
Zhao Baiyu told everyone what he thought, and everyone was silent for a moment, thinking it was true!
"Boss Zhao, if Wang Cheng Enzhen sends someone to buy our grain, then will we sell it or not?"
Someone asked.
"Well, hehe, it's naturally for sale......"
"How can that be?"
Objections were immediately raised.
"Don't worry, listen to Boss Zhao finish speaking."
Hou Changrong is still an old man, listening to Zhao Baiyu's tone, he knows that Zhao Baiyu must not have finished speaking.
Sure enough, Zhao Baiyu said "hehe" twice, and then said: "Selling is naturally to sell, but no matter which of our houses he goes to buy grain, we only sell a hundred catties!" If he is too little, tell him that there is not much grain in our granary for a long time, and even if we want to sell more, it will be gone! β
Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and immediately laughed after coming to their senses, this time, Wang Chengen is really going to be finished......
