Only seven days later, Zhang Lang returned from Suzhou and told Cao Ziguang that the Datang Equipment Workshop had been set up, and that Xu Shengyuan had all the manpower and full cooperation in terms of the required funds. Cao Ziguang, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, nodded in satisfaction.

Yue Qingya walked in and heard them talking about the equipment workshop, with displeasure on her face: "The clothes business is not enough for you to toss, why do you still want to engage in equipment?" Although the business of the underwear shop is now improving, but the foundation is not stable, Cao Ziguang put his mind elsewhere, Yue Qingya is very suspicious of how he tossed Datang, not like a businessman at all.

"You've been on patrol every day in terms of clothes, do I still need to worry about it?" Cao Ziguang smiled, Yue Qingya was still so funny when she got angry. This woman did everything she had to do, so that he could only stay in the main shop every day and do nothing, which was not impressive.

"Maybe I'll kill you one day!" Yue Qingya glared at him and left angrily.

"Big brother, when I came, Xiao Wu also wanted to come to Jinling, but I said you wouldn't let me." Zhang Lang smiled, feeling that he had been reused by the boss recently, but Xiang Wu was hung in Suzhou.

"What is Xiao Wu doing in Jinling? I'm not in danger. ”

Suzhou is the base camp, Xiaocao is alone Cao Ziguang is naturally not at ease, having Xiang Wu by her side will make him feel a lot more at ease, compared to Zhang Lang, an errand boy, Xiang Wu's position is more important.

"Oh yes. These **** pay attention to the next week's house, they seem to be going to start a food business, keep an eye on the point, and report to me as soon as there is any news. ”

Zhang Lang nodded and went out.

Cao Ziguang at noon was a little tired, and He Xiaoxiao came in with tea again.

"Xiaoxiao, didn't you put anything in the tea this time, did you?" Cao Ziguang joked.

He Xiaoxiao was ashamed for a while, but lifted the lid of the teacup, blew the air on it with a small mouth, and then put her red lips on it and took a sip, feeling that the temperature was okay, and took it to Cao Ziguang's mouth with her own hands.

Depend on! Lao Tzu is about to enjoy the treatment of the emperor, if she continues like this, does she have to feed it with her mouth? Should she stop this unhealthy trend, Cao Ziguang felt that this kind of cooperation required a very high tacit understanding, otherwise it would be easy to choke on herself.

Cao Ziguang took a sip very carefully, and then said, "Xiaoxiao, don't serve me like this in the future, I don't want to be a vegetative person." ”

"What do you mean by a vegetative person? Xiaoxiao treats you as a king. He Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and was ashamed, she knew that she couldn't compare to Yue Qingya and them, and only by serving Cao Ziguang with her heart could she win his favor.

"I seem to remember that I was not allowed to live in the hotel for six taels of silver, and I went to the dock to collect debts, and your clothes were torn by you." Cao Ziguang smiled and quipped.

He Xiaoxiao's mouth pursed and argued skillfully: "It's not like that at all, I admired you at first sight when I saw you." You are wearing a hat and a coarse coat, your eyes are so charming, and your temperament is so outstanding! ”

Cao Ziguang suddenly laughed and burst into tears, this kind of nonsense can be made up, it is worthy of being the front desk of Donglai Inn, and it is really a ghost talk when you see people, and you don't need to make a draft when you see people talking about people.

He Xiaoxiao also smiled, and said confidently: "Brother Cao, do you want me to serve you." As she spoke, she drew a picture on her lips with her jade fingers, revealing her charm with her shame.

Half a month later, Cao Ziguang learned that the Zhou family had opened a grain village named Yadong in Jinling and purchased a large amount of rice and grain in the market.

This year, there is a great drought in the north, but the rice in the south is not affected, and it seems that it can be harvested normally, but after the autumn, it will inevitably be transferred from the south to the north, and the price of grain will definitely rise. Cao Ziguang thought about the motives of the Zhou family, if it was purely to make money, he felt that it was understandable, the businessman looked at profits, but the existence of the foreigner made him very disgusted.

He doesn't care about other things, but food is the foundation of the national economy and people's livelihood, if someone wants to do something big about it, Cao Ziguang can't sit idly by, he asked Zhang Lang to continue to pay attention to the movements of Yadong Grain Village, especially the granary at the wharf.

Cao Ziguang walked on the street for several days in a row, paying attention to the grain prices in recent days, due to Yadong's high price of grain purchases, the price of grain in the market has been increasing, but Yadong's operation is very hidden, and the price has increased by one or two cents a day, which does not attract people's attention.

And a small grain village of the Wang family had just sold some rice grain to Yadong, and after the five grain trucks left, Cao Ziguang walked over.

Shopkeeper Wang recognized Cao Ziguang, he didn't say anything about Datang's expulsion from the Chamber of Commerce, anyway, the industry operated by Datang had nothing to do with him, and the two sides had no business dealings.

Cao Ziguang chatted with him casually in front of the door, and asked why he knew that the price of grain would rise and sold it to Yadong, Wang said that he was just a small grain village, and he didn't have much pursuit, Yadong was willing to buy his inventory at a high price, he could make a little money, and he could quickly collect funds, and he didn't have that strength when he was waiting for the price to rise after the autumn.

In this regard, Cao Ziguang can also understand that the small grain village does not have a large amount of funds for hoarding grain, and operates in a short and fast manner.

With more and more news, Cao Ziguang learned that Yadong Grain Village was not only buying grain in Jinling, but also in the entire south of the Yangtze River, and the grain collected from all over the country was hoarded in the large warehouse at the wharf.

The whereabouts of these grains are Cao Ziguang's greatest concern, he personally took a carriage to the wharf, and never got off, and saw from a distance that the grain in the Yadong warehouse was being loaded on the ship, and there was a foreigner standing at the bow of the ship, directing the coolies who were carrying.

Do these foreigners want to take away the grain? Cao Ziguang was shocked, and his anger rose to the sky. Made! It's just a matter of earning some money this week, and they actually gave food to foreigners, what does this make the Chinese people eat?

It's a conspiracy!

Cao Ziguang immediately saw the danger of the situation, immediately turned the carriage around, and went straight to the Yamen of the Jinling Political Secretary.

To Cao Ziguang's surprise, when he told such important business information to the political envoy, the guy actually said that this was just a normal business behavior, and as long as it was a legal business behavior, the government would not interfere.

Normal fart! Cao Zi was in a rage, and if there was a famine in the north, it would be difficult for the imperial court to even collect grain for disaster relief. The behavior of foreigners is a commercial war, which is no less harmful than military aggression.

Too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party, Cao Ziguang went out of the yamen and called Zhang Lang directly after returning to Datang.

"Zhang Lang, in addition to this general store, immediately close Datang's other stores in Jinling, take back the funds, I want to open a grain village."

Zhang Lang was a little dumbfounded and asked, "Big brother, the underwear shop has just improved, why do you want to close it?" ”

"If you want to turn it off, you will turn it off, and I will explain it to you when I get back." Cao Ziguang was pacing in the room, his mood was very heavy, if something really happened to Huaxia food, people would not even be able to afford to eat, and they would buy fart clothes.

In terms of the overall situation, he can't control too much, and the only way he can think of is to open a grain farm, work against Yadong, and leave as much grain as possible in China.

Silver, he needs silver now, lots and lots of silver.
