Chapter 090 is over
Chapter 090 has come to an end
300, 320, 360, 400......
In the short 10 days that Wang Qifang was in the county seat, the local grain price was inflated to 550 wen per stone, an increase of nearly 11 times over the same period last year.
"Cousin, this Wu Jiliang doesn't understand the rules very much"
In the Liuji warehouse, Li Jingniang took a cut bamboo pole and vigorously tied a pile of grain into a bag of grain in the mountain, and the sack was suddenly pierced with a hole, and wheat grains mixed with sand and grass clippings flowed out of the hole.
Stretching out her hand to twist the color of the grain, Li Jingniang shook her head disdainfully, and said, "Alas, it turns out that it is normal to mix three or four handfuls of sand in a bucket of grain, but now there is half a liter of sundries in a bucket of grain. ”
"Hehe, don't worry, sooner or later he will have to pay for what he did,"
Wang Qifang squatted aside, pulling the impurities in the wheat grains with her hands, and smiled lightly.
"No, cousin, I really don't understand you, are you teaching Wu Ji or fulfilling Wu Ji?" Li Jingniang put down the bamboo pole, took a wet handkerchief from the maid and wiped her hands, and asked with some incomprehension, "Cousin, have you ever calculated, in this short period of time, how much silver you paid Wu Jiliang in total, not to mention seven or eight thousand taels, but what did you get back?" Well, food or garbage? ”
At first, Li Jingniang thought of any problem when she saw Wang Qifang, and really thought that she had a plan, but she didn't expect it, why was she so loser.
looked at her movements these days with a cold eye, where did she want to set up a trap for Wu Ji, it was simply drilling into someone else's trap.
tossed for half a month, not to mention any lessons to others, it was clearly stupid to hold the silver to make the family rich.
"Since Wu Jiliang sold these things to me at a high price as grain, then it is naturally grain"
Wang Qifang clapped her hands, stood up indifferently, took the handkerchief sent by Ziyuan, and asked her by the way, "By the way, Ziyuan, did he find the person I asked my third uncle to find?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, the people have arrived, but in order not to attract the attention of some people, they did not go to the inn, but to the warehouse outside the city."
Ziyuan waited for Wang Qifang to drink water while holding a teacup, and replied softly.
"Huh? Cousin, who did you ask the third master to help you find? ”
Li Jingniang has been staying with Wang Qifang these days, and she has never seen her send a letter to Haicheng alone, so she asked with some curiosity.
"Some people whose hometown is from Shang County," Wang Qifang finished drinking tea, waved her hand and took Li Jingniang out of the warehouse, came to the second floor of the Liuji Grain Store, and after sending the idle people down, she pulled Li Jingniang and said, "Speaking of these, my cousin has something I want my cousin to help." ”
"What's the matter? Do you need silver? How much? Hehe, there are no more sisters, and there are still thirty or fifty thousand taels. ”
Li Jingniang sat next to Wang Qifang and said very generously.
"Hey, my cousin is really rich, I can take out thirty or fifty thousand taels," Wang Qifang heard her sincerity from Li Jingniang's words, and knew that this cousin did not treat herself as an outsider. Obviously, I saw her taking out a lot of silver to buy 'garbage', and offered to lend her silver, which is enough to see her sincerity.
However, she asked Li Jingniang for help, it was really not for the silver, thinking of this, she smiled and said, "This silver, I still have some, and I will borrow it from my cousin when I need it." This time, I came to you to borrow a boat. ”
"Borrow a boat?" Li Jingniang paused, and then thought of what the two of them said on the road, her eyes widened, and her finger pointed at Wang Qifang, "Cousin, you don't want to go to sea, right?" Oh my God, you don't care about the kids anymore? ”
"Oh, Jing Niang, which ear did you hear that I was going to sea," Wang Qifang saw her surprised look, a little funny, so she slapped her fingers off and said angrily, "Of course I have to take care of the child, what do you want?" ”
"So, then you borrow a boat?"
Li Jingniang blew her red finger and asked with a pout.
"Hehe, it's naturally acting."
Wang Qifang saw her face full of grievances and pity, so she smiled and held her hand, leaned into her ear and whispered her plan.
On the opposite side of the Liuji grain store is the Wuji grain store.
In the backyard barn, Wu Jiliang looked at the empty room, his fat palm kept scratching his chin.
"Master, we collected 1,300 stone of grain this time, and after 'processing', a total of 1,700 stones, all of which were sold to that Mrs. Wang at a price of 550 wen per stone. You see, our granaries are empty again."
The steward hunched his waist, holding a thick account book in his hand, slowly replied.
"Hiss~~" While the steward reported, Wu Jiliang was also calculating the accounts in his heart.
When he calculated the specific amount, he was also shocked by the huge payment.
Originally, 1,700 stone of grain, if it was in the past, it would not be a big deal, but this buyer is the same person, and he has bought it more than once.
If all the grain he sold to Wang Qifang was added, it would be 7,640 taels of silver.
God, it was only less than ten days, and he had made a net profit of more than 4,000 taels of silver, and he was still standing still, without spending half of his strength.
Tsk, this Mrs. Wang is inevitably too rich.
If it is said that at the beginning of selling grain to Wang Qifang, Wu Jiliang followed his brother-in-law's idea and wanted to test Wang Qifang.
Now that a large amount of silver has flown into his treasury, Wu Jiliang has long been red-eyed by this lucrative business, where do he still remember his brother-in-law's entrustment.
Thinking that Mrs. Wang was still buying grain, he hurriedly patted the back of the chair and urged, "Hurry up, let the guys go and collect the grain, and make another sum of money from her before Wang Qiniang understands it, and before the grain merchants in other state capitals find out." ”
"Doom ......," the steward closed the account book and said embarrassedly, "Master, our Wuji has searched all the villages within a radius of 100 miles in our county, and almost all the grain that can be collected has been collected. ”
"What? Collected them all? ”
If there is no food, it means that there is no lot of white money in the account, how can Wu Jiliang, who loves money like his life, stand it?
Tengdi got up from his chair and said urgently, "Then go and collect it somewhere else." If I'm not mistaken, the price of grain in other places is still around 230 yuan, and if we go and collect it, we can make a lot of money regardless of the travel expenses. ”
In the past, he had to try his best to pick out the silver in the oil pot, not to mention this kind of silver given away for nothing?
Don't, don't be a fool
"Master, in the neighboring county seats, the small ones have also gone to collect, and there is basically no surplus food, unless you go to Jiaozhou, Jeju and other big places to find it."
The steward saw that Wu Jiliang was in a hurry, for fear of being scolded by the master, so he hurriedly said.
"Then let's go."
As soon as Wu Jiliang heard that there was still a place to collect grain, no matter what place it was, he waved his arm vigorously and ordered, "Go quickly, no matter what Jiaozhou or Jeju is, as long as you can collect grain, then hurry up." Heck, this kind of opportunity to make money with your eyes closed is not available all the time. ”
"Then, where is there still a notice from Master Zheng?"
The steward felt that it was always a little unsafe to go to such a distant place to collect grain, so he cautioned.
"No, no, my brother-in-law said that Wang Qiniang is just an uninformed woman, and she can't afford to toss a big storm, besides, even if we sell her another 5,000 stone of grain, the Li family won't be able to win the brother-in-law."
Wu Jiliang wasn't worried at all, he waved his hand and urged the steward to hurry up, "You send someone to Jeju and Jiaozhou to inquire about the grain now, what about me, first go to stabilize Wang Qiniang, let her pay the deposit, and then we will go there to collect the grain."
"Hey, the little one will go right away"
Seeing that Wu Jiliang did not completely lose his mind, and thought about collecting the deposit first and then the grain, the steward was not too worried, and nodded again and again and said yes.
Yuelai Inn, second floor.
Seeing Wu Jiliang's fat body roll out of the room like a ball of meat, Li Jingniang looked at Wang Qifang in surprise.
"What's the matter, I have flowers on my face"
Wang Qifang was a little dazed by her staring, and hurriedly reached out and touched her face to see if there was anything dirty.
"Cousin, how did you know that Wu Jiliang would come to ask for a deposit?"
Li Jingniang sent her subordinates out, and there were only two sisters left in the house, so she asked puzzledly.
You must know that in the process of Wang Qifang's grain collection, except for the first time he paid a deposit to Wu Jiliang, Wu Jiliang did not mention that he had to pay a deposit for every other transaction, he directly pulled the grain, and then Wang Qifang paid the full amount.
And this time, when Wang Qifang heard the reply from her subordinates, saying that it was Wu Jiliang who asked to see her, she blurted out that "the one who wants a deposit is here", as if she had expected Wu Jiliang to have such a show.
"Hehe, he came to ask for a deposit, which can only mean one thing, that is, our drama in the county town is coming to an end," Wang Qifang pursed her lips and smiled, and after seeing that Li Jingniang was still a little puzzled, she explained in a low voice, "You forgot, how much grain have I collected these days?" And given the capacity of this county market, how much grain is there? ”
"Oh~~" Li Jingniang suddenly realized, she followed Wang Qifang's words and said, "Cousin, are you saying that Wu Jiliang wants to go to other places to collect grain, but he is afraid that you will change his mind here, so he came in a panic to ask for a deposit and sign a contract?" ”
It was also specifically mentioned in the contract that the price of food had to be set according to the prevailing conditions.
"That's right," Wang Qifang nodded approvingly, and then said quite confidently, "In this way, the boat you lent me and the people sent by my uncle can come in handy."
"Y-you're saying, cousin, you want to ...... that 'garbage'"
Seeing Wang Qifang nodding proudly, Li Jingniang finally understood Wang Qifang's intentions, and looked at Wang Qifang again, her eyes couldn't help but be full of admiration and a little fear - this cousin is really a powerful one
