......

Time passed in a calm and calm two days.

Wang Shouzhe has been cultivating himself in the Changning Courtyard for the past two days, drinking spiritual tea, and cultivating and cultivating, and it is rare to have a more comfortable life.

However, in the past two days, the situation has changed suddenly, with the intensification of wheat filling, the first wave of insect plague outbreak has spread throughout the entire Changningwei area with lightning speed, and all families are panicked.

Because the reduction in output was inevitable, except for the staple grains strictly controlled by the big cadres and officials, the prices of other agricultural and sideline products began to rise, and even the salted and smoked fish business of Wang's fish stall suddenly improved a lot, and the prices also increased by a large margin. In the absence of staple food, salted fish and smoked fish that can be stored for a long time can also maintain the continuation of life.

The rice shops of all trading houses have stopped selling grain to the outside world. In front of the official rice store, a long queue formed in front of the official camp, and the city guards had already intervened to maintain order.

Wang Shouzhe drank tea and listened to the news that came from all walks of life, and his heart was turbulent. If it weren't for the fact that there was a baby bump like Wang Luojing in the family, it must have already started to burn out, right?

How can you look at the ups and downs like now.

"Fourth brother, the Qian family firm sent someone to deliver a letter. Wang Shouyi personally came to the backyard to deliver the letter, and at the same time his brows were tightly locked, "In addition, half of the salted fish and smoked fish stocks sent by the sixth uncle have been sold in the past two days. I see that several fish stalls of other families have begun to restrict purchases or increase prices significantly, will our fish stalls also increase in price?"

Salted fish should also be restricted?

Wang Shouzhe frowned after taking the letter, it seems that the news of a large-scale reduction in grain production has caused panic. He was no stranger to this scene, and he had seen too many times on Earth when ordinary people were faced with disasters or rumors, and they panicked in a collective panic.

And the salted and smoked fish are selling too fast, right? The inventory that has been shipped in succession these few times must be about eight or nine hundred quintals. Before the price increase, the price of salted fish smoked fish was 20 to 30 jiao per catty according to the quality of the fish, and the price of a load was usually between 20 and 30 copper.

Now the price has risen to 30 to 40 copper a load, but it is selling faster.

"What about live fish and fresh fish?" asked Wang Shouzhe.

"Live fish has not risen, but fresh fish has generally risen by 20%. "Many people buy fresh fish and go back to pickle or smoke it themselves, or reduce the loss of staple food and eat more fish, so the price of salt and firewood has also increased." ”

Sure enough, the whole body was moved.

The outbreak of drug-resistant aphids has affected all aspects in an instant, and as soon as the price of basic materials such as salt, firewood, and carbon rises, everything will follow.

"Second brother, you can go with the market and raise the price. Wang Shouzhe said, "As for the restriction on sales, salted fish and smoked fish are sold according to the external 20 quintals per day, but in fact, they are sold internally according to 50 quintals." ”

"Fifty quintals, that's a full five ......thousand catties," Wang Shouyi said in surprise, "Can the sixth uncle keep up?" even if the sixth uncle can, there is no time to smoke and pickle it in the Dingpu warehouse." ”

Now is the peak season of fishing, Wang Dinghai's fishing brigade according to the operation of previous years, ten boats work hard, if you catch a few thousand catties, that is stable, an average fishing boat is just hundreds of catties of ordinary fish.

Most of them will be salted or smoked at the Dingpu storehouse, and under normal circumstances, the limit of the fish drying and smoking workshops there is only 800 quintals a month.

But Wang Dinghai's side has fully copied the fixed kite, and that kind of thing can be operated even by ordinary people. The daily output will continue to rise, and during this kind of fish flood season, it is not uncommon for the entire fishing brigade to add up to tens of thousands of catties.

"By increasing the manpower and space for fish processing, we can make use of the vacant land and empty houses of Fenggu Farm. In addition, all the domestic slaves and servants in the house, and the idle clansmen, will be given to me, and I must ensure that the output of smoked fish and salted fish will exceed 2,000 quintals this month. Wang Shouzhe instructed, "Second brother, you can fully preside over this work." ”

"As long as the sixth uncle can keep up, I'm not afraid. Suddenly, Wang Shouyi also burned his fighting spirit, two thousand loads of smoked fish and salted fish a month. It takes at least three or four thousand quintals of fresh fish to make it, and the weight of the fish will be greatly reduced after slaughtering and smoking and drying.

If the sixth uncle can really supply the output, this is a good time to make money, how can he, Wang Shouyi, hold back?

In previous years, the catch during the flood season was the cheapest, so a large number of ordinary catches would be made into smoked fish and salted fish, and then kept and sold slowly. In previous years, the production and sales of smoked fish and salted fish in the whole year added up to only 2,000 or hundreds of quintals. The total sales of fresh fish and live fish are about 2,000 quintals a year.

The overall turnover can hardly exceed 1,000 dry gold, and about half of this has to be divided into the accounts of the fishing brigade.

But now it's different.

If it is really possible to produce more than 2,000 quintals this month, and sell 1,500 quintals of smoked fish and pickled fish, according to the price increase of 40 taels of copper, there must be a turnover of 600 dry gold.

This does not include the sale of fresh and live fish...... This month is highly likely to reach the turnover of a normal year.

Therefore, Wang Shouyi felt that the blood was burning! If you don't fight at this time, when will you fight hard?

"Okay, then everything will be on both sides of the second brother. Wang Shouzhe wrote a patriarch's order, signed it, stamped the patriarch's seal, and handed it to him, "With this, you can mobilize the family generals and servants to withdraw the money from the family account." ”

"I don't need it for the time being. Wang Shouyi took the letter of order and said excitedly, "This time, the inventory of salted fish is selling too fast, and I still have a small two hundred dry gold on my account, which is enough to operate." ”

"Second brother, be busy, but don't make mistakes in your busyness and make omissions in the accounts. Wang Shouzhe casually warned.

Wang Shouyi's body was shocked, his eyes became serious, and he hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, don't worry, as a member of the family, I will definitely not violate the clan rules." Every month, I will hand over the accounts with the account room presided over by the fifth aunt, and I dare not miss anything. ”

"Second brother has worked hard. Wang Shouzhe solemnly saluted him, "Such a good opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, whether my Wang clan can get rid of the fate of decay or not, we must do our best from the whole clan." ”

Wang Shouzhe is still very satisfied, although his second brother's cultivation talent is mediocre, he is very dedicated to the family business. Compared with the sixth uncle Wang Dinghai, he is much more careful and stable.

"The fourth brother is serious, these are my duties. Wang Shouyi hurriedly returned the salute and said, "In this case, the foolish brother will retire first and deal with all things." ”

After he left, Wang Shouzhe settled down, and then opened Qian Xue'an's letter and asked him to meet at the [Jucaizhuang] outside the Changning Acropolis. Through the secret note left on the letterhead, it shows that Qian Xue'an has completed the agreement.

However, although he believed in Qian Xue'an, he didn't dare to take risks this time, and he was mainly safe in everything.

Immediately, he dressed up a little and went straight out of the city. He didn't go to Jucaizhuang first, but rode a black horse in the direction of Shanyang. After a while, he met Wang Zhong outside a small manor a few miles outside the city.

"Wang Zhong, how are things going?" Wang Shouzhe asked.

"The head of the Qiyu family, fortunately, the young patriarch of Gongsun has come according to the appointment and is waiting in the manor. Wang Zhong said slightly excitedly, he had been waiting outside the manor for seven or eight hours.

Most of the Wang's forces were on the south bank of the Anjiang River, and if they wanted to find multiple transport carriages on the north bank, they could only rely on the Shanyang Gongsun clan. Now that his relationship with the Gongsun clan is in the honeymoon period, his little request will not be dishonored.

entered this small leisure manor belonging to the Gongsun clan of Shanyang outside Changning City, met with Gongsun Qiang, and said: "Shouzhe has seen my uncle, and I am tired of waiting for my uncle for a long time. ”

"Didn't you wait long, is it Shouzhe, your mysterious request this time to call twenty carriages, or a heavy-duty carriage to transport ore, what do you want?" Gongsun Qiang was a low-EQ person, and he was curious as soon as they met.

"It's not anything special. Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "It's just to transport fifty or sixty thousand quintals of old grain." "Since he is involved, he naturally can't hide the quantity.

“......”

At this moment, Gongsun Qiang's eyes were about to pop out, "Cheap nephew", don't you know that it is difficult to find a load of food now? You still have 50,000 or 60,000 loads in one breath......

Nothing more?

He had an urge to burst into foul language, compared to this nephew patriarch, he felt that he, the thirty-eight-year-old "young patriarch", was a dog of all his age.
