Chapter III Grain Purchases

Early the next morning, Qin Feng got up early, and after a brief breakfast, he drove out.

He had looked up information on the Internet last night about the rental of various idle warehouses on the outskirts of Binhai City, and had initially identified several ideal targets.

He had a hunch in his heart that there would be many opportunities to send food and materials to this parallel world in the future, and of course, there would be no fewer times to transfer some high-value resources from there, so it was necessary for him to choose one or several suitable warehouses as his secret material transfer base.

The first consideration is of course confidentiality, and it is the most important and critical condition, and everything must serve this. He has the ability to travel freely between two worlds, and once this secret is known to the outside world, the catastrophic consequences can be imagined.

An hour later, Qin Feng stood in an abandoned factory near the outskirts of the city.

This place originally belonged to a certain company, but later closed down due to poor management, and the factory equipment was deserted, so it could only be rented out as a warehouse.

A middle-aged man with a dull face and slightly pale hair received Qin Feng, his name was Wang Decai, and he was the former boss of this factory.

After a brief greeting, Wang Decai took the young patron to see the storeroom.

Qin Feng looked around quietly, this place was not far from the intercity highway outside, and the transportation was convenient. Moreover, the outer wall is high, and there are no buildings nearby that are suitable for use as a surveillance base, which is more in line with his expectations.

The closed warehouse, which is the size of two football fields, is empty, with only two oil drums and a few old loading and unloading forklifts in the corner, which are still in good condition. Outside the warehouse is a large cement floor, which can be used for multiple trucks to park and enter at the same time, and it is more convenient to transfer materials.

"Is there any surveillance equipment installed here? How many cameras are there? He asked.

"Uh...... This ......"

A trace of embarrassment flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he explained: "I'm sorry, due to the shortage of funds and the fact that it has been abandoned for a long time, the original camera has been damaged and dismantled, and no new one has been installed later." ”

After a pause, worried that Qin Feng would not be satisfied, he hurriedly explained: "But the line pipeline is ready-made, and it won't take much effort to reinstall, I can introduce you to an acquaintance to help you get it, and the price is very affordable." ”

"Forget it, I'll find someone to handle this matter myself." Qin Feng said with a smile.

It's good that there are no cameras, anyway, he just uses this place as a temporary transfer site, and after the things are transported, they will be sent to the other world by him, and there is no need to store them for a long time.

Wang Decai breathed a sigh of relief, and could see that he seemed to be in trouble now, and he was in a hurry to use the money, so he really wanted to complete this business. Because Qin Feng was in a hurry, he didn't care too much about the price, and the two quickly reached an agreement.

Finally, Qin Feng took out the pre-printed written agreement from his backpack, filled in the amount number, signed it, and handed it to Wang Decai. He read the terms and saw that there was no problem, so he signed them as well.

According to Qin Feng's statement to him, he planned to engage in the food logistics wholesale business and supply many supermarket merchants in Binhai City, so he decided to rent this place as a temporary transshipment warehouse.

With Wang Decai's experience and knowledge, he didn't believe much in the words of this college student, of course, this matter had nothing to do with him. The treasury is rented out, and what is the business of the people, as long as he can receive the rent on time.

In the end, Wang Decai left satisfactorily with the deposit and the advance of half a year's rent. Qin Feng, who got the key, did not waste time, and directly called the owner of a large-scale grain processing factory in the suburbs of Binhai, and placed an order of 200 tons, half of flour and half rice, and asked the other party to deliver it to the door, and arranged someone to be responsible for unloading the goods.

There was business coming to the door, and the boss was naturally very happy, and after Qin Feng happily paid the deposit and labor costs, he immediately said that he would arrange it immediately. Anyway, the distance between the two places is not very far, less than fifty kilometers.

In the modern society with highly developed business information, people who do business are very active, and as long as they are willing to spend money, they basically don't have to worry about unfairness. From placing an order to the delivery of goods, logistics and transportation, delivery and handling, the other party will arrange everything properly for you.

3,000 stone of grain, converted into the current weight unit is about 150 tons, that is, the volume of several trucks per trip. Considering the follow-up trading plan, he asked for two hundred tons this time.

As an international metropolis, the population of the city and the surrounding suburban towns together is in the tens of millions. The daily consumption of grain and vegetables is a staggering figure, and the trade of 200 tons of flour and rice is nothing at all, so there is no need to worry about attracting the attention of outsiders.

By the early afternoon, car horns were heard at the intersection outside the storehouse gate, and a bus with five trucks was rolling along the concrete road.

Qin Feng opened the main gate and greeted him, a young sales manager came out of the bus, the two talked a few words, and then let the convoy drive into the gate.

A group of porters poured out of the bus, several of them went to the warehouse to drive a loading and unloading forklift, and the rest went to the truck to untie the rainproof canvas and began to work in full swing.

Qin Feng and the sales manager were chatting over drinks on the side, waiting patiently.

With the assistance of mechanical equipment, it is also quick to dry. Towards dinner, all the flour and rice were sent to the storeroom and stacked neatly.

"Everyone has worked hard, you can take these cigarettes and divide them."

Qin Feng opened the cab of his container truck, took out six cigarettes, plus two cartons of Red Bull drinks, and handed them over, and then paid the rest of the money by bank transfer.

"Next time I have the opportunity to continue working together." Finally, the sales manager shook hands with him and said goodbye.

Seeing the convoy leave, Qin Feng closed the gate of the wall and locked it. After confirming that there were no suspicious people around, a man entered the storeroom.

……

In the mansion.

Zhao Yuanjin and several of his henchmen were discussing matters, and he was obviously in a good mood at the moment, with a ruddy complexion, bright eyes, and a faint smile between his words.

“…… Lord, there is not much food and grass left in the army, and it can only last for three days at most. If we do not take immediate measures, the overall situation may be difficult to sustain......"

Strategist Sun Xiangqing frowned, and said worriedly: "The minister proposed that grain and grass could be collected from large private households to solve the urgent need. ”

Song Wu, the burly and stocky pro-soldier commander, pursed his lips and said sullenly: "This method has been used twice, and those rich people probably don't have much oil and water on them." Otherwise, you can only go to the homes of those ordinary people to collect, maybe you can get a little gain. ”

Bo Sumu, the marching master, said lightly: "For today's plan, I'm afraid it's the only way." Otherwise, there will be no food in the army, and the soldiers will not have the will to fight, and the great cause of the lord will be in danger immediately. ”

It is no secret that the situation in the city is far from optimistic, and that some vacillating officials have been secretly discussing defections. If it weren't for Zhao Yuanjin's skills, he barely controlled the situation and didn't collapse, but he was afraid that the imperial army would have entered the city a long time ago.

But at present, if there is no turnaround, it can last for three or five days at most, and the county town will have to change owners.

In this world of chaos and the collapse of the law, food is the foundation of life. Without this thing, no matter how big the foundation is, it will inevitably fall apart.

Zhao Yuan smiled: "You don't have to worry, I have a solution to such a major matter." And from now on, there will never be a shortage of food and grass in the army. ”

Several henchmen looked stunned, all a little incredulous. Sun Xiangqing hesitated and asked, "Lord, but you found out that there is a secret granary in the city?" ”

There is a precedent in the history books of this kind of thing, when the Taizu of the Age Dynasty started an incident, he was accidentally besieged by the enemy in Yuyang City for a while, and he could not get out of trouble for more than 20 days. The grain and grass are running out day by day, and when they are at the end of the road, they found a secret grain depot in the backyard of the city lord's mansion, with nearly 10,000 stone of grain stored, which was left by the former county guard according to research.

The Taizu of the Ji Dynasty relied on this to come back to life, stabilize the situation, and finally hold on until the reinforcements came, and the inside and outside should join forces to break the enemy army.

If the lord really had a similar encounter, it would be good news for the whole army, and there would be no need to worry about the siege of the imperial army.

Zhao Yuan said solemnly: "It's not that I found the granary, but that there is a mysterious immortal who helped him and used magic to send enough food to the city. ”

“……”

The henchmen looked at each other, not knowing how to react, and they obviously didn't believe this kind of strange and confusing rhetoric. However, the lord said it solemnly, and it didn't seem like a hypocrisy.

"Why don't the Immortal Elders come out and meet with Zhongqing?" Zhao Yuanjin tilted his head slightly, and said warmly behind him.

Behind the silk and bamboo screen, Qin Feng walked out slowly.

At this time, he had already changed into the costume of this world, brocade clothes and jade with white robes, his eyes were like paint, his atmosphere was calm, and he was like a son from a family, which instantly attracted the attention of several people.

Song Wu looked at him suspiciously for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "...... you Is there really a way to get food and grass? Isn't this a child's play? To deceive the lord is to kill the head! ”

"Huh? Song Wu must not be rude to the immortal chief. Zhao Yuanjin frowned slightly and said unhappily.

Qin Feng smiled indifferently, and said leisurely: "There is no joke in the army, this matter is related to the foundation of the Jie Du Envoy, how dare you lie and coax in the future?" ”

After saying that, he raised his hand slightly, and under the incredible gaze of several people, dozens of bags of rice appeared in the room out of thin air, piled up in a pile.

"Hiss......"

Song Wu gasped, stared at the pile of rice for a while, suddenly got up and drew his knife, a bright knife flashed, the top bag was cut open, and the white rice spilled out.

There was silence in the room.

Sun Xiangqing hurriedly leaned over, reached out and grabbed a handful of rice, examined it repeatedly for a moment with the help of the light, threw a few more grains into his mouth and chewed, and finally let out a sigh: "That's right, this white rice is ...... It's true. The great cause of the Lord is saved! ”

"How? Ladies and gentlemen, have you replied? Zhao Yuanjin said with a smile.

Su Mu thought for a while, and cautiously asked a key question: "I don't know...... How much food can the immortal chief get for us? ”

"As long as there is enough gold, as much as you want!" Qin Feng said lightly.
