Chapter 260: Wen Zhengming's Request (Four More Votes)
With the massive amount of grain put into the market, grain prices fell rapidly, and in less than three days, they fell below two taels of silver, and there is a trend of continuing to fall. After all, after an unprecedented economic crisis, the wealth in the hands of the people has shrunk sharply, and there is a serious shortage of money. It won't be long before prices return to normal, even lower than in previous years.
A few months have been a nightmare for everyone, including those behind the scenes, who may not know much more than ordinary people.
Ordinary food and cloth, there was no shortage, and there was no war, how did it rise like crazy, looking back, everyone couldn't believe it, and the same, the whereabouts were terrifyingly fast, beyond imagination.
No matter what, when the price comes down, everyone can take a breath and live a small life. But in an instant, everyone was enveloped in another strong fear in their hearts, yes, it was the once precious "coupon".
In anticipation of the price increase, everyone bought a lot of tickets at a high level, and as the price fell, it means that the longer the coupon is held, the greater the price difference, and the greater the loss.
At the beginning, because of the rising prices, the value of the tickets continued to appreciate, and the illusory wealth growth brought about by everyone quickly returned to its original shape. How to describe it, the former ticket was Daji, no matter how beautiful it looks, you can take off the moon in the sky for her.
But now, Daji got drunk and took the wrong medicine, revealing the fox's body, and the more she looked at it, the more ugly it became, and the more she looked at it, the more disturbing she became.
Take advantage of the fact that the tickets have not become waste paper, hurry up and exchange them for physical goods, and you can lose a little less.
Citizens rushed into the streets again, flocking to the shops, waving colorful tickets and demanding cash. The shopkeeper had no choice but to open the door. But soon he regretted it.
The little goods raised by taking advantage of the drop in prices were exchanged by the people in an instant, and countless people came behind them, and the shelves of the stores were already empty.
How can this be?
The clever shopkeeper came up with the idea, they had no money in the past, and they did not raise money by selling tickets. Maintain business, now you can do it again.
As long as the people still buy tickets, they have silver, no matter how much they discount, as long as the people don't run on it, they can slowly repay the bills.
The idea is very plump, just like Yang Yuhuan, the reality is very backbone, the whole Zhao Feiyan!
Prices are going up. People are scrambling to buy tickets because they estimate that they are profitable, and now that the price has fallen, they will only lose money by holding tickets.
What's more, after a great upheaval, the people have become extremely conservative, no matter how good the tickets are, they are not as good as silver and copper, and they force the shopkeeper to exchange them, and even give them a seven-fold discount. 5% off is OK.
There was an unprecedented scene in the market, and no one bought the shopkeeper's discounted promotional tickets. The people also asked for discounts to exchange tickets, and the brokers couldn't get anything.
The demands of the two sides are at odds with each other, and fire and water are incompatible.
Gradually, the people took aim at all the shops.
It's all these profiteers who invented coupons, and raised prices to coax them to buy them, and now that something goes wrong, they don't recognize it, do they treat everyone as monkeys?
Is it tolerable or unbearable!
Crazy people stormed the shops. injured the shopkeeper and his men, and even set fires everywhere, the huge city of Suzhou was simply a mess.
For the chaos, Wang Chonggu chose to turn a blind eye. He won. Win thoroughly. When it was time for those people to eat the consequences, waiting for the market to collapse completely, the four major money banks of the Jin merchants would work together to take Suzhou into their arms. Although they also suffered heavy losses after a big battle, after all, their victor, a Suzhou City, is their best reward! Let's ask the entire Jiangnan, who else can compete with the Jin merchants?
Although it has paid a lot, the harvest is also amazing, and Wang Chonggu showed a relieved smile.
The hunters were ready to attack, and the prey also felt the rain coming.
Zhao Xu completely disappeared from the day the price collapsed, Zheng Qiming, under the protection of his family, escaped from Suzhou and went straight to the capital for refuge, as for Lu Jun, he hid in the Jinyi Wei Yamen.
Originally, the big families who followed them all suffered heavy losses, almost lost all their trousers, and now the main ones are gone, they are like pieces of fat, placed on the cutting board, waiting for people to wave knives and forks, and eat as much as they want.
More than a dozen gentry and celebrities looked at each other, sighing one after another, and their faces were sad, as if they were doing a white affair.
After being silent for a long time, Pang Ce, who was sitting in the last place, suddenly staggered to his feet and walked outside.
"Brother Pang, please stay, do you want to surrender Lao Xi'er?"
Pang Ce was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "The old man is not so tasteless, I am trying to find a way to save my life." ”
Everyone in the room looked at each other and said with a wry smile: "Brother Pang, is there anything you can do?" ”
Pang Ce put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and sighed: "The old man knows a person, but I don't know if he can do it?" ”
"Who!"
"Tang Yi, Tang Xingzhi!"
When the name came out of Ponzer's mouth, the eyes of everyone present widened. In the past few months, who didn't know that it was Tang Yi's great help that allowed Wang Chonggu to escape. Otherwise, Wang Chonggu would have been unable to hold on for a long time, and it can also be said that their current miserable situation was caused by Tang Yi, and they couldn't wait to peel Tang Yi and eat meat in order to relieve the hatred in their hearts!
Pang Ce said that he wanted to ask Tang Yi for help, and everyone scoffed, but soon some of them smelled different.
Although Tang Yi is true to his rivals, Tang Yi has enough strength, Wang Chonggu still has to sell him face, if Tang Yi is really willing to help, everyone may be able to come back to life.
A few people surrounded Pang Ce excitedly and asked loudly about his relationship with Tang Yi.
Pang Ce was asked, but he could only explain the situation, his son and Tang Shen were in the same department, and he had borrowed Tang Yi's 500 stone grain before.
This relationship is said to be close or not, it can only be regarded as a dew marriage, whether Tang Yi can protect the Pang family or not, others will definitely have no fun.
Everyone connected to each other, and suddenly someone looked up to the sky and laughed.
"What are the big guys worried about, we can't do it, but there is a person who can."
"Who?"
"Hengshan Jushi Wen Zhengming!"
……
"Xiuxiu, why are you still wearing deerskin, isn't it too hot?" Wang Yueying asked curiously.
Peng Xiuxiu tilted her little head and licked the candy man. While saying, "The deer skin is strong, the silk can't afford it, and it's easy to get dirty, Xiuxiu doesn't want her mother to be tired." ”
"Good little girl." Wang Yueying smiled: "Xiuxiu, can my sister make you a few silk clothes?" ”
Xiuxiu's small eyes glowed. After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head.
Crisp said: "It's not good, Daddy said that you can't just ask for things from outsiders, they are all greedy for benefits." ”
"The vigilance is quite strong, so let me ask you, is my sister an outsider?"
Xiuxiu thought about it for a long time this time, she also has many sisters in her family, and some sisters are like her, all of whom are hurt by Daddy. Some are serving her, the sister in front of her is not serving herself, and she is so beautiful and kind, she must be her own sister and a family!
Thinking of this, Xiuxiu said loudly: "Sister is not an outsider, Xiuxiu can ask for sister's clothes!" ”
Wang Yueying laughed happily and hurriedly pulled up Xiuxiu. I measured her body and beckoned Zhu'er to do it together. I hurriedly lived for two days, and changed Xiuxiu to a new one from the inside out.
It should not only retain unrestrained enthusiasm, but also be subtle and graceful, and it should be suitable for the preferences of little girls. I have to say that Wang Yueying is ingenious and dresses up the little girl like a porcelain doll. As soon as he appeared, he got a full house, Xu Wei ran over, and said awkwardly: "Xiuxiu, let my brother hug you, okay?" ”
Boom!
The pink little fist hit him in the eye socket, and his mouth said, "Bad guy! ”
Tang Yi laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. immediately gave Xiuxiu a thumbs up.
"What a smart baby, come, my brother will give you a chicken leg to eat."
"I want two!" The little girl said loudly.
"Okay, it's all for you!" Xiu Xiu Meizi sat beside Tang Yi and took a big gulp. In the past, Xu Wei was a "table bully", every time he ate, he put good things in front of him, and whoever dared to move chopsticks would be in a hurry.
It's different with Xiuxiu, the little girl not only brought all the delicious food to herself, but also gave her favorite ones to her sister and brother, and finally gnawed the remaining bones and sent them to Xu Wei's bowl, which made Xu Dacai embarrassed.
Every time I eat, I laugh constantly, and when everyone is laughing, suddenly someone comes to report, saying that Wen Zhengming came to visit, Tang Yi hurriedly got up, Xu Wei also fled with him, and Xiuxiu also made a grimace from his back.
……
"Okay, what do you say Mr. Hengshan has to do?"
"Knowingly asked." Tang Yi smiled: "Brother Wen, you want to ask me if I will buy it, right?" ”
"Clever, brother, get to the bottom of it, huh?"
Tang Yi blinked, and suddenly said, "Mr. Hengshan." Xu Wei was stunned, Tang Yi ran away, and in a blink of an eye, he was outside the gate and hurriedly saluted.
"Sir, you can just send someone over if you have something to do, why bother to come in person."
"Hehe, people are old, if they don't move, their arms and legs will be wasted, it's better to come and walk." Tang Yi and Xu Wei took the old man to the study and sat down.
Wen Zhengming glanced at the article on the table, glanced at it twice, and immediately praised: "Okay, this is what you did?" ”
"Well, it's a clumsy work of late life, how does Mr. know?"
"The style of writing is simple, the writing is mellow and introverted, the reasoning is transparent, and it is impeccable...... Just like yours! ”
Tang Yi's old face flushed and said, "Mr. is too famous!" ”
"No, no, I'm afraid that the old man's evaluation is still low. By the way, okay, the old man heard that you have a talent for poetry and a good lyricist, why haven't I seen your articles circulated? ”
"This ...... The late life is afraid of the clumsy writing, and the smile is generous, and the later life often has some mundane affairs, and he can't spare the effort. ”
"This can't be done, the imperial examination is an article." Wen Zhengming's face was solemn, and he said: "As the saying goes, the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, if you want to make a success in the imperial examination, fame is very important, you must let everyone in the world know you, especially know your articles, even if the examiner has a preference, I dare not rank you too low." How's that going? ”
"Mr. Jinyu has good words, remember it in your later life." Tang Yi bowed deeply and said with a smile: "Mr. Hengshan is famous all over the world, if you can always help the late students to publicize and publicize, the later students will be grateful." ”
"That's nature!"
Wen Zhengming said with a smile: "It is the duty of a scholar to reward the backward and promote the scholars, and the old man is also from Suzhou." You haven't entered the officialdom yet, and the old man will talk about his experience. ”
"Please sir."
"Hehe, I don't dare to teach it, it's very vulgar to say it, above the officialdom, it is nothing more than relying on three kinds of relationships to maintain, the same department, master and apprentice, fellow villagers, you see, Yan Song is like this, most of the people in Jiangxi can be reused. Having said that, if you want the article to spread all over the world, you must first spread it in Suzhou, with the friendship of fellow villagers, everyone helps each other, supports each other, understands each other, and enjoys the same hardships, twisted into a rope, so as not to be plotted by others. Wen Zhengming looked at Tang Yi thoughtfully, and sighed: "The old man knows that saying this is sleek and sophisticated, and it will disappoint you, but the old man has lived for more than eighty years, and his life has been bumpy, and he has realized such a truth, if you can use it, the old man is really pleased." ”
Tang Yi suddenly raised his head and smiled.
"Mr. Hengshan's golden and jade good words, I will remember them in my later life." Tang Yi smiled narrowly, "I remembered it later, but some people don't remember, they made Suzhou like this, and now they remember that they are from Suzhou, it is inevitable that they are a little hindsight, right?" ”
Ahem!
Wen Zhengming's old face was flushed, he went around in such a big circle, and let Tang Yi say a word, this kid is a human, and if he is stained with hair, he is a monkey!
"Okay, since you guessed, the old man won't talk nonsense, would you like to meet those people?" (To be continued.) )
