Chapter 59: A Great Victory

The majestic Zheng Mansion is more powerful than the Zhao Mansion, especially the pair of big stone lions in the town house, each weighing thousands of catties, twice as big as the pair of lions in front of the Zhao Mansion, which is particularly majestic.

At this time, the square at the entrance of Zhengfu was crowded with large and small grain merchants in Jiangning City, but they could not enter, and could only wait anxiously under the stone lion.

In front of the vermilion gate, dozens of guards with long knives at their waists were added, eyeing each other, ready to suppress those who wanted to make trouble.

In fact, as long as a smarter person sees such a battle, he will know what is going on, but these desperate grain merchants still hold on to the hope of what happens.

After all, the Zheng family has the shadow of the queen behind them.

It's just that what they don't know is that the business war in Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, the queen of a country and the mother of the world, how can they pay attention to and interfere in some small things?

Meditation fasting.

Chen Liang, the leader of the Salt Gang, knelt in front of Zheng An, his whole body trembling, and his voice was full of horror.

"The subordinates should be damned, I don't want the three children of Zhao, Xie, and Wang to be as cunning as foxes, and cover the grain bags with bags of sediment storage on the grain ships on the periphery, and I didn't notice it for a while, and I was blinded by it."

Zheng An was like an old monk who had settled down, he didn't speak for a long time, and in half a day, his half-white hair seemed to have turned all silver-white.

In fact, in this business war, he was completely victorious.

Not only the Huainan Grain Gang in Jiangbei, but also the rest such as Fujian Road, Liangzhejiang Road and other places, where it was possible to buy grain, he cut them off one by one, but he never expected that the Zhao, Wang, and Xie families directly bought grain in the hands of Huang Wenhu, who he trusted the most, and told him how to be willing.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Yi, the leader of the Salt Gang, reported in a low voice: "According to investigation, Huang Wenhu promised to sell a total of 500,000 stones of grain to the Zhao family, and the price of each stone was only 500 yuan...... Jiangbei has not been flooded, this year's rice grain harvest, although affected by the price of grain in the south of the Yangtze River, the average price is also about 500 Wen. It has now transported 100,000 stones to Jiangning, and 100,000 stones have arrived on the river near Dangtu, and will soon arrive in Jiangning, and another 100,000 stones have been shipped from Luzhou City, and have set off three days ago. The remaining 200,000 stones will also be brought in one after another. On the way, not only Zhao, Wang, and Xie sent people to escort them, but Huang Wenhu also dispatched the war ships of the Huainan Grain Gang to escort them, and it was difficult to take advantage of it. ”

Huang Wenhu not only betrayed him, but also betrayed him so thoroughly that he even sent grain to escort the privately owned warships throughout the whole process.

Others don't know, but he Zheng An knows that most of the private soldiers on the grain gang warships are from Taihu Lake, and the essence of water warfare is no less than that of the Yangtze River water gangsters, and it is almost impossible to take advantage of the opportunity to grab grain and burn grain.

"On the orders of our ancestors, we sent people to rush to buy rice and grain. Unexpectedly, the rules of the three grain stores limit each person to only sell two buckets, but those who exceed two buckets will not be sold. There was a brother who wanted to buy 100 stone of grain at the price of three times, but not only was he refused, but he was arrested by the government and thrown into prison. ”

The depressed voice of the housekeeper Li Gang completely cut off Zheng An's thoughts, making him feel like falling into an ice cellar, although his face was still silent, and a depression had already accumulated in his heart, which was extremely uncomfortable.

The Zheng family's 300,000 stone of grain hoarding has lost at least 300,000 yuan, which is a pain in the Zheng family!

However, the loss of 300,000 guan was enough to break the Zheng family's muscles and bones, but it was difficult to hurt the vitality.

The most important thing is the wailing voice of hundreds of Jiangning grain merchants outside the Nafu Gate.

These grain merchants, instigated by the Zheng family, bought grain and hoarded grain at all costs, and now they have lost at least millions of yuan, if they can't be properly disposed of, the prestige of his Zheng family in the entire Jiangnan business community will plummet, this is the most deadly!

Zheng An only felt that he had aged a lot in half a day, and said bitterly for a long time: "Tell the grain merchants outside the door, let him and others adjust the grain price back to two through one stone, and count the losses, and my Zheng family is willing to bear half of it." ”

Before the words fell, Zheng Qing and Zheng Hong on the side changed their expressions greatly, and said urgently: "Grandfather, we have already lost 300,000 guan, and now if we bear half of the loss, we will have to get at least 500,000 guan......"

Zheng An looked at the two grandsons who were not confused but were like straw bales, shook his head, and said gloomily: "You are so short-sighted, how will you fight with Xie Yun, Wang Tong and Xie Wen in the future?" It's just 500,000 yuan, if the people's hearts are lost, my Zheng family will be in Jiangning, and it will be difficult to turn over......"

800,000 guan is enough to frustrate the vitality of the Zheng family, which is nearly 10% of the Zheng family's assets, but compared with the hearts of the people gathered for decades, they can only give up the fish and take the bear's paw...... The way of doing business, to their scale and realm, cares more about a letter and a word of sincerity.

It's just that this time, it was indeed a little too defeated.

He Zheng An has been in Jiangning Mansion for decades, and he has never been defeated so miserably...... It was almost so defeated that he had no power to fight back, and he was choked by the neck and trampled under his feet!

If you talk about this war of hoarding food, he was scheming at the beginning, and the layout was like a big chess game with a winning game in his hand, but now he is careless, and he is caught by someone and fights back, and he loses the whole game!

Who is the big picture of this?

Xie Yun, Xie Yu, or Wang Tong? These three business wizards who dominate Jiangning do all have the ability to make this layout.

It's just that the only thing I don't understand is who has the ability to make Huang Wenhu turn back, which is the key to breaking this chess game.

This game-breaking person is the most terrifying person in Jiangning City!

It's just that it is unknown who this game-breaker is.

Zheng An waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat, leaving only Yin Yi alone.

"There are talented people in Jiangshan, and there are masters in Jiangning, and now the situation is beyond the control of children...... You have to be good at the medicine introduction, and wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival night, when the Taoist master succeeds in refining the medicine, it is the day when the old man comes out of the rivers and lakes again, and you must be cautious. ”

"Whoa!"

"The stakes are high, even if it's Aoki Michicho, maybe be careful and don't make the slightest mistake!"

"Whoa!"

**************************

It continued to rain for several days, and although the weather gradually cleared, the heat had subsided.

The vigorous grain shortage finally subsided with the entry of the grain ships in Jiangbei. The price of two runs and one stone has become a fixed price, not only the grain shops of Zhao, Wang, and Xie, but also the grain shops in the entire Jiangning City are also selling grain at this price, not much, not a lot.

Although the grain merchants who hoarded Juqi suffered heavy losses, they did not have much panic and resentment. The Zheng family compensated them for nearly 500,000 yuan, although it was not enough to make up for all the losses, but it prevented them from jumping off the building and diving because they couldn't survive.

Although the Zheng family lost this battle extremely miserably, the prestige among the rice and grain merchants in Jiangnan was a little heavier than before.

This point, not only Xie Yun, Wang Tong and Xie Wen admire, but even the old man of the Xie family, Xie Yu, is also admired, and the most admired is Zhao Hao, who is a gentleman who won easily with the system, but he deeply felt the strength of the opponent.

Generous, bold, and big-...... It's amazing my uncle, and he really deserves to be the chief scoop of the black and white roads in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's just that...... If my son wins, he wins, can you bite me?

The three families hoarded a lot of grain before the flood, but they were maliciously snapped up by the grain merchants, and they had already made a lot of money - the Zheng family and the grain merchants lost more than one million yuan, but thirty percent of it fell into the pockets of the three of them, and the Zhao family alone made a bad profit of 150,000 yuan.

Secondly, Huang Wenhu's 500,000 stone of rice and grain has always been sold for 500, and in addition to the freight of 200 wen and 1 stone, he also earned 300 wen per stone, which is a total of 150,000 yuan.

The three families not only did not take a penny of the 150,000 guan profits, but all of them donated to the donation of Jiangning Mansion, and each donated another 50,000 guan, making up a total of 300,000 guan of charity funds and handing them over to Wang Hanzhi.

These money and grain originally belonged to a windfall, and the vision and pattern of the heads of the three families were naturally far from being comparable to Zheng Qing and Zheng Hong.

Especially the Wang family and the Xie family, which are nearly a thousand years old, naturally cherish and attach more importance to the prestige of their respective families in Jiangning.

With more than 400,000 donations in hand, Wang Hanzhi's waist pole instantly straightened up, and the disaster relief was no longer limited to the scope of soup porridge and grain distribution and resettlement of victims.

More than 100,000 victims of the disaster were given rice and grain and resettlement expenses to return to their hometowns, and they were sent back to their hometowns one after another.

Adults have five buckets of grain per person, and children have three buckets of grain per person, and the victims of Jiangning City have become the happiest victims in history......

On the street of Jiangning City, someone was lazily lying in the soft and comfortable carriage carriage, looking at the merit value of the system interface that was soaring like a rocket, not to mention how beautiful it was.
