Chapter 1 The New Market of Anchovy

In the early morning of Yicheng, the sun is shining and there are no clouds.

This is a rare good weather for Yicheng, which is located in the three southwestern states and mainly has humid and sultry weather.

After a series of turmoil after Wang Guanlan entered Yicheng, the peace and prosperity of Yicheng returned.

For most people in Yicheng, the past winter was extremely difficult, including Wang Guanlan, the injury tossed him for a whole winter, until the beginning of spring, it was not completely improved, coupled with this rare good weather, he Wang Young Master was not exempt from vulgarity, from the small courtyard shrouded in fog, basking in the sun.

The spring cold is steep, and it has little impact on Wang Guanlan, a martial artist with a third layer of qi refining, very casually wearing a jacket and a pair of wooden slippers, he walked out of Ningtai Commercial Bank.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the road, but not many people can recognize this fourteen princes of the palace who just stirred up Yicheng.

"It's quite lively!" After eating a bowl of rice noodles and a few pieces of dough at a roadside stall, Wang Guanlan stretched his waist fiercely and took a deep breath of the air with the fragrance of herbs.

The head of the Hundred Poison Gate at the gate of Yicheng has been removed for several months, and the disgusting smell that has accumulated in the air has long since dissipated without a trace.

Of course, as an exciting topic, the pile of heads in the Hundred Poisons Gate still stayed in people's tea and dinner, and became the object of gossip.

Putting a few pieces of copper and iron on the noodle stall, Wang Guanlan shook his body and walked lazily between the markets.

Yicheng is not big, that is, several main streets, and Wang Guanlan walked all the way out of Ningtai, which is the most lively street in Yicheng.

Of course, this so-called lively, only relatively, compared to the season of previous years, the current Yicheng is undoubtedly a lot more depressed, there are no more warriors coming and going, among the major commercial houses, there is no previous popularity, the most popular place, is the vegetable market and some old alleys on both sides, there, there are many local citizens in Yicheng set up stalls there, peddling pedestrians in the past years of the accumulation of anchovies at home.

Wang Guanlan's fire did hit the major commercial houses hard, but it also made many Yicheng citizens make a fortune, these citizens have more or less some inventory of anchovies at home, these inventories were not worth much money in the past, they saved, and they just wanted to wait for the off-season to exchange two small money to spend, but Wang Guanlan's fire completely changed the fate of these anchovies, all the anchovies in Yicheng commercial banks were out of stock, and the new shopkeepers were naturally not stupid enough to sell anchovies to outsiders, and almost all the shops sent the accumulated goods in the shop back to the master's house, This has caused the current situation, Yicheng has a certain amount of anchovy grass and can deal with it freely is these usually inconspicuous citizens, among these people, there are not many warriors, the demand for anchovy grass is actually not large, plus there is no family power behind them to settle, therefore, the anchovy grass in their hands has become the main force of the transaction in this year.

In fact, as early as after Wang Guanlan's fire, some people took a fancy to this, and began to sweep the goods in Yicheng, and at this time of year, a winter has passed, and there are not many citizens who still have anchovy grass in their hands, and there are many anchovy grasses with similar medicinal effects, so they took it out and made the last money.

Therefore, compared with the deserted major trading houses, the side of this market is much more lively.

"What's the price of anchovy grass now?!" Wang Guanlan asked casually as he walked.

"It's been reduced to eight times!" Chen Qingshan had been following Wang Guanlan's side, and said carefully, "At the highest time, it reached twenty times!"

"Twenty times, it's too low!" Wang Guanlan raised his eyebrows and sneered, "It seems that they have a lot of confidence in us planting anchovies!"

"Fourteen young people, don't you really plant anchovy grass today!" After coming to Yicheng for more than half a year, Chen Qingshan had already found out the situation in Yicheng, and he had learned a lot about the methods of this fourteenth master, so he didn't dare to question Wang Guanlan's judgment, but just issued his own question, "Haven't you already notified all the workers to work?!"

"Plant, of course, how can you plant the natural geographical conditions in that valley!" Wang Guanlan said, "But I don't have to plant anchovies!!"

"Ah?!" Chen Qingshan snorted violently, "No, don't plant anchovies!"

"You seem to be concerned about this!"

"Oh, that's right, there were a few friends in the rivers and lakes I knew before, and they knew that I was working beside the fourteenth prince, so they asked me for some news, and I don't know if they wanted to know it themselves, or if others wanted to know!"

"They are smart, and their claws are quite long!" Wang Guanlan smiled faintly, and didn't care, this kind of method of not hearing the news from himself and turning to the ideas of the people around him is not uncommon, but there is no doubt that it is very effective, "How did you tell them?!"

"To tell you the truth, I said I don't know what kind of decision the young master will make at the beginning of the year, but all the workers who left before have returned to the plantation!"

"So, now the price of anchovy has begun to drop!" Wang Guanlan nodded, "It seems that they think that since all the workers have been recalled, then there will be no shortage of anchovies after autumn, right?!"

"At least not as nervous as this year!"

"The beauty of thinking!" Wang Guanlan's eyes flashed, "I, Wang Guanlan, came to Yicheng just to receive these properties? Now I still have a civet guard to raise, how can I do it without money, in addition to making a windfall on the road, in the past half a year, I am all sticking money, and they also want the price of anchovy grass to come down, I am stupid!"

"In this way, young master, you won't stop if you don't knock them hard!" Chen Qingshan asked tentatively.

"What do you mean knocking them off?!" Wang Guanlan glanced at Chen Qingshan dissatisfied, "Qingshan, if I were you, I would sweep away all the remaining goods in this Yicheng in the fastest time, and in less than a month, the price of anchovies here will rise to more than twenty times!"

Chen Qingshan's eyes lit up, "Yes, my subordinates understand, I'll let someone buy it tomorrow!!"

What is the concept of a month, that is the day when the anchovy is planted, and at that time, the young master will not be able to hide how much anchovy grass will plant, and now that he said so, I think about it, there will never be too much anchovy planted this year, otherwise, the price of anchovy will never rise.

"Are there many faces in Yicheng recently?!"

"There are more and more, and the time for planting is coming, and there will be more people by then!" Chen Qingshan replied cautiously.

"How's the new shops in the palace?!"

"The sixth housekeeper has always been in charge, and it seems that he will be in charge of these new shops in the future!"

"The sixth housekeeper is good, he has a lot of eyesight, and it will be a lot easier to cooperate with him in the future!" Wang Guanlan said, "I heard that he is the second son!"

"I have a bit of a distant relative relationship with the second son!" Chen Qingshan said, "It seems to be someone from the second son's mother's family!"

"In the matter of the Hundred Poison Gate, I owe the second son a favor, if you don't pay it back!"

"Actually, this is the decision of the palace, the second son is just executing, the favor is not as big as you think!"

"Human favor is not so easy to judge!" Wang Guanlan shook his head and said, "The decision on the spot is made by him, if he misses one or two people at that time, it will be a huge trouble for me, but he chose to kill them all, leaving no one alive, even the ancestors of others were pulled out and killed, helping me to eliminate future troubles, you say, is this favor not big enough?!"

"The subordinates are ignorant!" Chen Qingshan hurriedly said, knowing that this was the beginning of the convergence of the two young masters, although the two had never met at all, but some of the things that happened in Yicheng in the past six months all showed that these two young masters had their own tacit understanding.

In addition to the four princes in the palace now, the most famous is the three sons including Wang Guanlan, because these three sons are the same as the four princes, they are in charge of a Taoist soldier in their hands, which is deeply valued by the prince, and the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the fourteenth prince in front of him, for this son, Ning Wangfu even dispatched a Taoist soldier who has not been out for decades, and directly wiped out one of the ten major forces in the three southwestern provinces, but for a small person like him who is at the bottom of King Ning's Mansion, he will inevitably have some gains and losses, of course, he is too deeply imprinted by the fourteenth prince on his body, and there is no other choice.

The two talked while walking, and it didn't take long for them to go to Wangjiang Tower, look at the sky, it was almost noon, and the two went directly to Wangjiang Tower, sat down in the Linjiang Pavilion that had been booked, and looked at the scenery of the Nushui River.

"It seems that there are more boats in the river lately!"

"Yes, since the beginning of spring, there have been more and more boats, like spies from all sides, it seems that everyone is staring at the anchovy!"

"No matter how good things are, if there are too many of them, they will be worthless, just like this anchovy, all they sell are cabbage prices, which is not worth it!" Wang Guanlan leaned back slightly, squinted his eyes, and looked at the flow of people coming and going downstairs, "The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, if there is no benefit, then, there is no point in running around, if you want anchovy, there is no sincerity, how can you do it!" As he spoke, his eyes looked out of the door, and then at the vendor selling rock sugar gourds not far from the window, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.
