Daddy Fang's officialdom is experienced, his vision is spicy, and his shots are even better... Permit... Very...

After pointing out the direction, the special case group uncovered a major corruption case that shook the whole province: Half of the 1 million catties of disaster relief grain that the province had allocated to the prefecture a month ago did not know where to go. Nima... We all know the unspoken rules of officialdom, but you are too powerful, others dive 300,000 catties even if they ascend to the sky, you are good, you actually dived half of it, and truly reached the supreme realm of human and god's anger...

Vice Governor Fang was furious and personally called the leader of the task force to force the leader of the task force to make a military order and strictly order the supervision. And specially explained: Do a good job of investigating the problems on the grain front in the Xiangxi Prefecture...... This sounds like no problem, but anyone who has been mixed up in officialdom knows that it has to be heard in reverse: Pointing out the grain investigation front means not expanding the problem, only allowing the grain line to be moved, and not being soft on this line.

So, in just three days, the purge of officialdom in Xiangxi broke out, especially the moths on the grain front, who were really unlucky, and they also thoroughly understood Fang Jue's stern nature after the frenzy: the vice governor in charge of grain will sit through the prison...... Life imprisonment... With the strength and ruthlessness of the Fang family, he will definitely not be released from prison. The director of the state food bureau committed suicide in prison for fear of crime, and claimed to the public that he committed suicide for fear of crime, and the Fang family was still angry and confiscated his family's property...... The lieutenant governor is guarded by another lieutenant governor, and he doesn't have such a big backstage. Twelve heads fell to the ground, and the rest were punished to some extent...... If you carefully testify, you will be stunned to find that the eight people who deliberately embarrassed Fang Jue at the beginning were all among these twelve heads.

The governor was also implicated, but fortunately, he was only retained with a demerit. The reason why he didn't take the opportunity to get rid of him was because he had previously given Fang Jue face and approved the preparation of 100,000 catties of grain, and more importantly, as soon as the task force arrived, he smelled out the dangerous breath, and in order to protect himself, he couldn't care about anything else, so he immediately took refuge in the Fang family, and gave instructions on the spot that he could use the tax rights of the county seat of Jiangyin County and its suburbs in exchange for 450,000 catties of grain in Wang Shihua's hands...... This vote is the real reason why the Fang family let him go, otherwise, if the Fang family doesn't take advantage of this shareholder wind to kill him and replace him with his own people, it will be called hell.

Fang Jue got the approved report, invited the personnel of the task force to have a meal, and after giving some gifts, he hurried back to Jiangyin County overnight. Regardless of fatigue, he specially rented a carriage, slept in the bumps of the carriage, rushed to Laosicheng in the afternoon of the same day, and after a night of detailed talks, he secretly signed an agreement with Wang Shihua: from January 1, 1938 to December 30, 1940, the taxes in the county seat of Jiangyin County and its suburbs were collected by the Wang family, and the Wang family will transfer 150,000 catties of grain to the government from the Wang family granary in the county seat on the day of signing the agreement, and the rest will be in August and September respectively, and the Wang family will quietly fill up the county warehouse before allocating... … The reason why the discussion lasted all night was because the two sides had a dispute over the details of the tax items: the county magistrate insisted on using the current tax as the benchmark and could not change it for three years. This is absolutely impossible for Wang Shihua: with this tight spell, how can he fight his opponents and expand the territory of the Wang family in the county seat?

Seeing that the dispute was still going on, Uncle Jiang proposed a compromise solution: for individual businesses in individual banks, the Wang family could increase the power to collect taxes. Fang Jue still didn't understand what Wang Shihua was going to do? But he can only nod in embarrassment, stipulating that for the same industry, at most only two companies are allowed to raise taxes...... The agreement was reached.

As for the details of the implementation, neither of them mentioned it, and they had their own people below to negotiate. Moreover, both sides deliberately kept it as secret as possible, and reached a unified external statement: before 38 years, it will never be recognized... As for the handover of grain, it was claimed that Fang Jue had received relief money from the state, bought it from the Wang family, and paid it in public...... In fact, it's just a turn of hands and a show for everyone.

If it is replaced by an ordinary big landlord, he may be worried about being cheated by the government, but for Wang Shihua and Fang Jue, before the agreement is signed, everyone can be villains, but once the agreement takes effect, it must be strictly implemented: although the Fang family has political power, it has no military power, and even if it has military power, for Jiangyin County, which is located in the depths of Xiangxi, it is beyond the reach of the whip, so Wang Shihua is not worried that Fang Jue will regret it; As far as Fang Jue is concerned, this agreement also has many benefits for him: at least, if the Wang family intervenes, it will conflict with the Xiang family, thus breaking the Xiang family's high pressure on himself. Moreover, 450,000 catties of grain can really save many people, and with this, it will definitely add supreme glory to his personal and even his family's political future...

"Shoucheng, you take some more clever ones to the county seat, and discuss with the second uncle and the people sent by County Magistrate Fang, how can the other two batches of grain be secretly handed over to County Magistrate Fang. This agreement is the most important thing, it is related to the future prosperity of my Wang family, and there must be no mistakes, at least we must ensure that our side does not go on a business trip. Whoever dares to disobey, I will bury his whole family alive. After reaching an agreement, Wang Shihua would naturally be very polite, but out of confidentiality, Wang Shihua only sent County Magistrate Fang out of the study. Then he explained to Jiang Shoucheng: "We must pay special attention to see how the tax soldiers in the county collect taxes, especially in the details, we must be clear, so as not to know what to do when we take over after the beginning of the year, and make people laugh." ”

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that this so-called secrecy is simply nonsense...... There are so many people in the state and provincial capitals who know about it. The key is how long the people in the county who know about this information are willing to keep it a secret, or what kind of article will be made about it, and when will it be done.

"Well... I'll go. ”

"Well... Don't go with the county magistrate on the road, so as not to make people suspicious. ”

"Yes..."

Waiting for Jiang Shoucheng to leave, Wang Shihua smiled at Uncle Jiang and Uncle Jing: "Uncle Jiang, Uncle Jing, let's go to the house and discuss the specific details of opening a warehouse to sell grain?" ”

Perhaps it was no longer possible to suppress the joy and excitement in his heart, Wang Shihua did not wait for them to reply, and took the lead into the study.

When the two of them entered the house, Wang Shihua closed the door himself, turned around and hugged them one by one, jumped up excitedly, and yelled: "Great, it's really good, it's reached, it's finally agreed......"

"The head of the house, happy is happy, but ......"

"Lao Jing, it's rare to see the head of the family so happy, just let him be happy for a while..."

"I know that." Uncle Jing frowned and said, "It's just that the head of the family is happy, you can't step on my feet all the time, right?" ”

"Uh~..."Wang Shihua was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Uncle Jing's feet: "Uncle Jing, come, I'll help you sit down." ”

After the three of them sat down, Uncle Jiang took out two small notebooks and handed them to Wang Shihua, and said with a smile: "Family master, this is a detailed investigation of the grain prices and the amount of trade in the county by Lao Nu and Lao Jing in the past few days...... Here's a plan we made, so please take a look at it. ”

Wang Shihua opened the book while nodding: The lowest price is the Wang family's territory, according to Wang Shihua's original order, the price of grain is still a dime and a half a catty, and each household of the Wang family is limited to 30 catties per month, and it is forbidden to sell to the outside world. The second is Shendao Town, which is the richest place after all, with two waterways extending in all directions, so that the price of grain is always maintained between three and four cents. The highest price is not the county seat, but Pingtou Town in Xiao Bing's territory, with seven cents and eight cents per catty...... Wang Shihua completely robbed Pingtou Town a year ago, and he still hasn't recovered his vitality.

As soon as the news of Wang Shihua talking about opening a warehouse to sell grain came out, and the Wang family did start selling grain, the price of grain fell in response, and in a few days, the general price of one pound was reduced from the original nine cents and two cents to more than six cents, which was still due to the fact that the Wang family's grain sales were only two hours a day, so that many grain merchants still hoped that the Wang family would refrain and let everyone have money to earn, otherwise, the price would have to fall. And the Wang family's unclear attitude is exactly a situation deliberately maintained by the Wang family's grain traders Uncle Jiang and Uncle Jing, so that the Wang family can advance and retreat freely and grasp the initiative in grain prices.

"Uncle Jiang, Uncle Jing, why have the prices of grain in the Liangguang region risen so much? It's all reached three cents a pound. I remember the last time Shoucheng went to collect grain, it was only six cents to one cent. ”

"The head of the family, Liangguang, the area with the largest grain production in the country, is not far from our Xiangxi, and our Xiangxi suffered a disaster, so the grain merchants on their side will naturally not let go of this opportunity, and it is normal for grain prices to be higher than before."

Wang Shihua closed the notebook, thought for a while, and asked: "Then do you think that after the new grain comes out, will the price of grain in the Liangguang region rise or fall?" ”

This is a big question that hits the nail on the head: No matter whether the grain prices in the two regions rise or fall, Wang Shihua has to consider the situation after the grain prices on his side follow the rise and fall. If one is not good, it is very likely that you will lose all the games by accident...

"The head of the family, our side has been affected by the disaster, and the Liangguang area has also been affected, I asked a friend to specially ask a master to make an assessment, and the grain in the Liangguang area this year will be two to three percent less than last year. Moreover, when the grain merchants there know that our side is affected, they will definitely hoard grain and raise prices, so the price of grain on our side will continue to rise. ”

As soon as Uncle Jiang's words fell, Uncle Jing on the side continued: "Moreover, our friends in Shanghai also sent us a telegram to remind us that Chairman Chiang is sending troops from all walks of life to prepare for a big fight with the Japanese devils in Shanghai. ”

"Is this information accurate?"

"Accurate..."Uncle Jing said with a straight face: "A friend in Shanghai said that Chairman Jiang was going to mobilize hundreds of thousands of main forces to Shanghai, and he personally confirmed that tens of thousands of troops had already been stationed in Shanghai and began to deploy defenses. The Japanese devils began to secretly block Shanghai's waterways as early as two months ago, and now they are also sending troops to Shanghai...... It can be concluded that if this big war is fought, no matter who loses or wins, it will definitely not be just this one, and there will definitely be a big battle to be fought later. In this way, grain will inevitably be forcibly requisitioned as the state's reserve material, and when the time comes, the price of grain will rise throughout the country, not to mention that Liangguang, a place that has had the reputation of 'Liangguang is familiar with the world' since ancient times, will definitely be the key object of care for Chairman Chiang's long march to grain. Therefore, Lao Jiang and I came to the conclusion that no matter how much grain the two regions produce this year, grain prices will inevitably rise at that time. ”

Wang Shihua thought about it for a while, and suddenly asked a very interesting question......
