What Zhang Jingyi hates the most is that some inconsequential people come to get close to him.

Isn't this an insult to my Zhang Jingyi's IQ?

But this Wu Wenlong saw that Zhang Jing turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, but he still chased after him.

He was in a hurry.

"Zhang Baihu, how about a price, how about one or two or nine dollars of silver? Don't forget, you still owe me money. ”

"Oh." Zhang Jingyi remembered something at this time.

No wonder he couldn't think of Wu Wenlong's grain merchant, it turned out that he owed him money.

"It turned out to be you."

Wu Wenlong said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, it's me." ”

Zhang Jingyi pulled his face and said: "It's written in black and white, didn't you say that you will repay the money this time next year?" I just owe you a little bit of silver, you're still energetic, aren't you, you bullied me Zhang Jing is a hundred? ”

"This ......" Wu Wenlong listened to it, and shook his head hurriedly: "I know, of course I know, it is written in black and white, and the words are based on it." I'm not here to collect debts, I'm here to buy grain, now in the whole capital, who doesn't know that your family has a lot of grain, how about one or two nine dollars? ”

Zhang Jingyi thought it was funny, now the market price is only one or two, three or four dollars, this Wu Wenlong is ruthless enough, and he directly drove it to one or two or nine dollars.

Wu Wenlong found him, of course, he was not full of food, he must have bought it from other grain merchants at a price no lower than this.

Of course, everyone didn't want to pay attention to him.

At this time, whoever sells grain is stupid.

I thought that only a few days ago, someone had bought food for seven yuan, and in just two days, the situation was reversed.

Zhang Jing shook her head and said, "Don't sell it." ”

Wu Wenlong has not given up: "We can talk about it again." ”

"Don't talk about it." Zhang Jingyi said very seriously: "I like to keep my own grain, what is there to talk about!" Why, do you still have to buy and sell? ”

As soon as he said this, he said.

Behind him, a lieutenant in charge of the guard immediately snapped and pulled out his knife.

Since the price of food has risen, Zhang Jingyi immediately arranged for himself to be guarded, just kidding, this kind of net worth, dare to go to the street alone easily?

Wu Wenlong was suddenly frightened and his neck was cold, and only then did he determine that Zhang Jingyi would not sell grain.

In fact...... Wu Wenlong collects grain everywhere, but the grain merchants who used to be good, as well as those who hoarded a lot of grain at home, are commensurate with his brother on weekdays, and now they are ...... but turned their faces one by one.

Whoever wants to sell grain now is a loser.

Someone will be poked in the back.

Wu Wenlong had no choice but to say: "If the Zhang family changes their minds when, they can give it to the next ......."

"Alright, alright, go away, I'm busy with business." Zhang Jingyi is righteous and righteous.

Wu Wenlong was very helpless, and looked at Zhang Jingyi with great envy.

At this time, his feeling was that Zhang Jingyi directly snatched him, but on the contrary, he was helpless.

Looking at Zhang Jingyi's eyes, there was both envy and jealousy.

If you ...... The grain was not sold, and he should have the confidence of Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi returned to the new county office, in fact, the so-called county government was the original inspection department, which was still a set of teams and two sets of brands.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng, the county Cheng, was already actively coping with the upcoming surge in food prices.

As soon as he saw Zhang Jing coming, he hurriedly dropped the official document in his hand and said, "Zhang Baihu, have you heard the news outside?" ”

"I hear you." As soon as Zhang Jing sat down, a scribe immediately poured him tea.

This clerk belongs to the county office, at this time is particularly attentive, now the county to be graded, although only listen to the thunder, but do not see the rain, but the heart seems to tickle, everyone looks at Zhang Jingyi's gaze, even more different.

Zhang Jing waved his hand and asked him to go down, and then said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Mr. Lu, how much can you say the price of this grain can rise?" ”

"In the ninth year of Wanli, there was a similar disaster, and after the news came out, the price of grain in the capital rose to thirteen taels of silver and one stone."

Zhang Jingyi was speechless: "So much? Under normal circumstances, it is only two or three taels of silver and a stone of grain. ”

Of course, Zhang Jingyi is not the grain he buys at ordinary times, and when he thinks of his seven coins of silver and one stone, he feels as if he has picked it up for nothing.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said: "This has been a dynasty and a dynasty, but since the country has been based on grain, those gentry and grain merchants, if they encounter a good year, they actually do not make much profit, do you guess that in the past hundred years, the gentry have been able to annex a large amount of land, and the grain merchants can make a fortune, what do they rely on to make money?" ”

Zhang Jingyi actually already has the answer in his heart, but he still wants to hear Lu Xiangsheng's analysis.

After all, Lu Xiangsheng has been a magistrate, and he has served as both a county magistrate and a prefect in the past, and he knows the local situation well.

At this time, he sighed again: "Aren't you just waiting for this disaster year to make profits? When it comes to the disaster year, the gentry who hoarded grain at home, and the grain merchants who have grain in their hands, will not be able to sell the grain, and everyone in the world wants to buy grain, but there are very few people who sell grain. Besides, the capital is fine, but the terrible thing is the disaster area, this time there is a big drought in Guanzhong, there will be no harvest, and the government disaster relief must not be done, even if the local parents and officials want to do it, the royal relatives behind the grain merchants, and the local gentry will also mess up the disaster relief matter. At that time, you don't say that you will take a stone of grain, even if you take a liter of rice and run to buy a beautiful girl and slave, the father and mother of the other people are also in a hurry to sell it, and sell people to you, only one liter of rice, that's it...... People also want to thank you for their kindness, shouting at you, Master Zhang, Hou Wandai. ”

Zhang Jing couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, he thought about the terrible situation in the disaster area, but he didn't expect it to be so scary.

One liter of rice ...... I'm afraid that I can usually eat for a day or two, save some food, and probably eat for a week.

Such a little rice, a direct substitution?

I only heard Lu Xiangsheng continue: "Don't say that it is a replacement, there is also a field, those ordinary people may save a few acres of land in their lifetime, these lands, in normal times, you take dozens of taels of silver to buy, they may not sell it, after all, this is the foundation of the foothold." But in such a year of famine, once people are hungry, they have to pawn everything, and the gentry and grain merchants, if they take a small bag of miscellaneous grains out, they dare to open their mouths to exchange a few acres of land for you, can you change it? If you don't change it, the whole family will starve to death, and if you change it, you won't get more than ten days and a half of rations. Think about it, how much of a huge profit is there? So...... Don't say that a stone of grain can rise to more than a dozen taels of silver, and in some places, even if it is twenty taels, thirty taels, or even a hundred taels of silver, I don't think it's rare, why? Because people who are hungry have no choice, and when people are so hungry, they don't care about anything. ”

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but say: "In this way, whoever has food now, who will get rich?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded.

"To tell you the truth, my Zhang family received a lot of grain a few days ago."

Lu Xiangsheng has heard about this, of course, he didn't mention it, everyone has selfish intentions, and the Zhang family is going to get rich, but ...... There are some things that can only wait for Zhang Jingyi to say.

Zhang Jingyi said: "I want to save the common people, do you think it's okay?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Zhang Jingyi in surprise and said in surprise: "The Zhang family is willing to take food out to help the victims of the world?" ”

Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly and said: "My little grain is only hundreds of thousands of stones, where can I help people all over the world." ”

Several hundred thousand...... Returning the stone ......

Lu Xiangsheng felt that his scalp was numb, this was at least the grain of the ten counties with the most fertile land.

Zhang Jingyi immediately said: "I made a grand wish to save the common people, but before that, I will earn a lot of money first." ”

Lu Xiangsheng sighed in his heart, it seems...... The Zhang family still chose to get rich, what to save the common people, getting rich and saving the common people are fundamentally opposites.

Zhang Jingyi said: "You wait and see, I, Zhang Jingyi, will definitely be able to do it." ”

As he was talking, someone suddenly came in outside and said, "Zhang Baihu, Zhang Baihu, and another grain merchant has come to see you." ”

Zhang Jingyi turned back impatiently and said, "What are you here for, I'm going to sue for harassment if I come again." ”

Then again, he Zhang Jingyi is a county order, as if he ......

The man said, "The grain merchant outside said, 'I would like to receive grain for three taels of silver.' ”

"Let them go, I won't sell it."

Zhang Jingyi is now full of confidence.

In fact, the entire East and West markets, those traditional grain markets have actually gone crazy.

The grain merchants looked everywhere for grain, for those who had it, for the nearby gentry's homes.

An opportunity to get rich is just around the corner, just as Lu Xiangsheng said, this is the opportunity for the gentry and grain merchants to make a fortune, is there a shortage of slaves and maids at home? Do you think you have less land at home? On weekdays, those mud-legged people refuse to sell their children and refuse to sell the only land they have, but this time is the best time to start.

Several major grain merchants have now gathered together.

These grain merchants are often the leading figures in the halls.

The so-called guild hall is actually a chamber of commerce linked by fellow villagers, and after they arrived in the capital, they were connected to each other through the friendship of the villagers, and slowly, they began to hug each other.

At this time, the role of the guild hall became greater, because the merchants gradually discovered that only by holding together could they make a fortune together.

What's more, behind these big grain merchants, there are often big figures in the court, or relatives of the emperor and the country.

Their strength together is something that no one in the world can ignore.

Everyone happily drank tea with each other.

Of course, it will also be elegant and elegant, and recite poems against it.

This is called a Confucian merchant, and often the family will test their fame and have read a lot of books.

Naturally, there are also some well-cultivated Qingqi people to play and sing.

After they were happy with each other, they did not talk about any mundane things, nor did they talk about the rise and fall of the price of food, and after talking happily with each other, they went home.

On such an occasion, Wu Wenlong, the grain merchant, was actually just a small person, just sitting there to foil him.

When the grain merchants dispersed, he walked out, and said to the account room that had been waiting for him outside: "It's terrible, you have to hurry up and continue to collect grain, and do everything you can to get it crazy, it's going to go crazy." ”

The bookkeeper said: "What, what do the major grain merchants say? ”

"They don't say anything, it's scary." Wu Wenlong had no concentration at all at this time: "Don't say it, it's just that you have a number in your heart, everyone just can't eat, this is to be Pixiu!" Food prices are going crazy! ”
