Chapter 51: The Yu Family
Yingshang is the commercial capital of today, and the people living in the city are naturally more or less proficient in some of the principles above the business road.
Therefore, when looking at the rice shops of each family, after the price began to be reduced one after another, many people began to watch from the wall.
Unless there is really no rice grain at home, it is estimated that the price of those rice shops will be reduced even faster.
However, this is only the case on the first day after all. When they went to look at the price of rice the next day, they found that the price of rice had risen again.
Although it didn't go up much, but after waiting for most of the day, there was no intention of reducing the price at all.
In this day and age, the Maison is the true ruler of the bottom.
Moreover, not only that, but intermarriage between families is almost the norm.
Although Nanyang and Yingshang are not close, it is inevitable that there will be some relatives after hundreds of years.
Nepotism, or someone who is easy to do, can be regarded as a common problem of Chinese civilization for thousands of years.
Therefore, last night, the representatives of the various families gathered together, and although they argued for a long time, they finally set the price.
The next day, it was not that there were no more ships from Nanyang.
But, as mentioned before, their main family is often related to each other, and with a little persuasion, they are even more happy to increase the price.
A whole day passed, and the price of rice showed no sign of falling back at all.
Chun Yujing, who was originally very happy that the price of rice would drop, suddenly hurriedly came to the door again.
Of course, for this little girl, Xia Huan felt that she was about to be immune.
No matter how Chun Yujing grinded him, he just said: "Wait and see!" ”
Chun Yujing, who was angry, had no choice but to run back in a hurry.
As the whole day passed, many people in the city gradually began to panic. After all, it is a bit unreasonable to see new grain being brought into the city without reducing the price.
In a state of anxiety, the people were driven home by a team of sergeants, the captain of the team.
The curfew began, and many people secretly made up their minds that when they waited until tomorrow, no matter whether the price dropped or not, they would first use the surplus money to buy enough food.
On the Yingshui at night, boats with lanterns slowly sail upstream.
Here, only a hundred miles away from Yingshang. And these ships are from Wuzhong.
"How's it going, have you made inquiries?" On a large boat, a man of forty years old asked lightly stroking his beard.
"Childe, I've inquired clearly. The price of grain in the city is now almost 1,300 Chu coins a stone. That's enough for us to make a lot of money! ”
A man who looked like a family replied to the middle-aged man with a smile. At the same time, his eyes inadvertently swept over the man behind the middle-aged man.
"Brother, thanks to you this time! Otherwise, the family may not know this news yet! The middle-aged man also walked over and said with a smile.
"Brother said that he laughed, the foolish brother is also a member of the Yu family, how can he betray his ancestors and forget his ancestors?" Behind the middle-aged man, Yu Meng said with some sincere fear.
The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction and said, "After this incident, I will explain to my father that you will be re-listed on the family tree." ”
When Yu Meng heard this, he was even more excited and said, "Brother Xie! ”
"Hehe, it's all my own family!"
The boat swayed, but as the children of Koto, they were already familiar with this feeling.
From the main family to the ordinary family members, now, all of them are in excitement.
Unlike Chen Zhaoming, who went to Nanyang, Yu Meng, who went to Wuzhong, did not spread the news in a big way. On the contrary, he used his identity as surnamed Yu to successfully infiltrate the Yu family under the guise of Xia Huan.
After explaining the situation on Yingshang, Yu Xing, the contemporary head of the Yu family, was also a little excited.
Although the Yu family was hit a lot more than 20 years ago, the main forces were forced to move back to the ancestral land of Jiangdong from Shoudu. However, the heritage is still there.
Therefore, Yu Xing, the head of the Yu family, quietly opened the family granary overnight and transported the grain onto the ship. Even, he specially sent his second son Yu Gu to accompany him.
However, it had only been a day since the mighty dozens of boats left, and Yu Meng turned his head again and told Yu Gu that many families in Nanyang had also received news.
When Yu Gu heard this, this was okay. They are swimming against the current, and their speed is certainly not as fast as that of Nanyang's people. When it came to Yingshang, wouldn't there be even soup to drink?
Yu Gu, who was so angry that he immediately wanted to order the ship to turn around.
However, Yu Meng patted his chest and assured that Yingshangjun would definitely guarantee the interests of the Yu family. Under repeated emphasis, Yu Gucai took the risk and continued to swim against the current.
After three days passed, it was finally close to Yingshang. Yu Gu immediately sent someone, riding a fast horse, to Yingshang to inquire about the news.
And this result, although not as expected, is still very satisfying to them.
Similarly, Yu Meng, who was standing behind Yu Gu, was also relieved.
If the previous family Ding sent back bad news, he would probably have to jump into the river to save his life.
The Yu family was acting quietly this time and wanted to eat alone, and it was certain that they would be exposed in the future. Even, the day after they left, the other Jiangdong families learned the news.
Jealousy is certain, but if the Yu family returns empty-handed, wouldn't it become the biggest joke.
has lost such a big face, unless Xia Huan is present in person, no matter what his identity is, he will not be able to keep Yu Meng.
Fortunately, this level has passed, and then the next thing is the situation of hello, hello, hello, everyone.
Time is money, and if it is late, it will change, and Yu Gu even rewarded his subordinates and made them desperately sail upward.
The wealth is moving, and the fleet, which originally needed to arrive after the dawn of the day, had already arrived at the ferry at the beginning of the day.
At this time, on the ferry, most of Nanyang's ships have returned. Everything seems to be back to the way it was before.
And the arrival of the Yu family's fleet obviously gave this ferry another booster.
Wang Yan, who got Xia Huan's order, has been guarding the edge of the ferry with people these days.
As soon as he heard the news that another ship was approaching, he hurriedly turned over and led people towards the dock.
Seeing Yu Meng accompany a middle-aged man to get off the boat like a spring breeze, Wang Yan knew that the second wave of people that Xia Huan had asked him to wait for had arrived.
"General Yu!" is not as begging for benefits as before, Wang Yan showed full respect.
Yu Meng hurriedly looked at Yu Gu and said, "This is Wang Yan, one of His Highness's current right and left hands. ”
However, Yu Gu didn't react much, just nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Yu Meng whispered in Yu Gu's ear again: "Second son, you have so much grain, if you want to transport it to the city, you still have to rely on him to ...... manpower."
When Yu Gu heard this, his face changed slightly. Immediately, he took out a small piece of gold from his cuff and handed it to Wang Yan's hand.
Wang Yan took it without hesitation and said with a smile: "Childe is polite." Among so many families, Gongzi is the most generous. Brothers, it's time to work! ”
After speaking, he beckoned to the people and boarded the ship with a smile.
In the past two days, Wang Yan has been raised by money. perfectly pursued Xia Huan's set, and the geese plucked their feathers!
