Ouyang Rong found a very miraculous thing, as a "civil servant" of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Dragon Boat Festival can have a statutory holiday, which is an edict issued by the empress every year.

However, in this era, it is very few people who can enjoy this holiday privilege, because the common people who are busy with their livelihoods have no concept of going to work and vacation.

In this world, workers are really adults......

The opening ceremony of the Peng Langdu Dragon Boat Conference was nothing special, Ouyang Rong, who was the order of a county, just showed a handsome face on the scene, and said two simple sentences - really two sentences, and then took the lead in a "dragon" ceremony, and then went to sit on the stage and be a mud bodhisattva.

In the land of Wuyue in the south, the custom of dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival has been prevalent since ancient times, especially in places with many floods, you can pray for good weather and agricultural harvest, which is one of the most important festivals every year.

Ouyang Rong is just an airborne county order, during the entire Dragon Boat Festival, the Longcheng County Government and the people have their own set of extremely skilled customs and processes, and he does not need to intervene in the command, just run it on his own, he only needs to keep an eye on the county government expenses.

In the past few days, Ouyang Rong has been busy in the dark in order to verify the water conservancy plan, and he is happy to be quiet now.

Moreover, the purpose of holding a special Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Festival was almost achieved, and he was fishing for a while.

Well, peel a zongzi first!

There are many viewing platforms along Butterfly Creek, stretching for miles, and the crowds of spectators are not all crowded together.

But the core subjective platform is the high platform of the ferry where Ouyang Rong is located, which is located at the starting point of the dragon boat race.

However, there are also several viewing platforms with good views near it, which are also lively, and are occupied by the big families and wealthy businessmen in Longcheng County.

Liu Ziwen took his second brother Liu Zi'an and his family members to charter a well-located viewing platform.

Liu Zi'an sat on the chair, silently withdrew his gaze from the young county magistrate who looked harmless to humans and animals on the subjective stage, turned his head and asked:

"Big brother, what do you think this county order is thinking? The grain restriction order has been lifted, and the price of grain has soared by 20 yuan a bucket, what's the matter, he also sold grain? ”

Liu Zi'an watched the dragon boat race, couldn't take his eyes off it, and shook his head slightly:

"Leave him alone for the time being, it is not harmful for us to increase food prices, the most important thing at the moment is ...... The sword in the furnace...... You have to keep an eye on it all the time, everything else is secondary. As long as this radish county order doesn't come and bite like a mad dog, let's continue to unite with the other twelve rich gentry to isolate him.

"It can be seen that he really wants to control the water, but where to get the surplus silver grain from the current disaster, and he wants to repair the Di Gong Gate, without the craftsmen provided by our side, it is impossible to repair it in the short term. If you boil it up again, you will always ask for it.

"The truth is so simple, justice is not something that can be done casually, what the Difu son who degraded back then didn't do, can this son still want to do it?"

This young head of the Liu family is not in a hurry at all, and he is confident that he will win.

Liu Zi'an glanced at the eldest brother, nodded silently, and said no more.

For a big ship like the Liu family, in addition to the helmsman who grasps the general trend, it also needs a deputy military division like Liu Zi'an to do dirty work behind the scenes.

Liu Ziwen likes to look at the situation and is strategic, while Liu Zian likes to use tricks and is good at making games.

Regarding Liu Ziwen's decision, Liu Zian was quite convinced.

On the other side, there is also a viewing platform that is covered with heavy gold, and the view is excellent.

Wang Caozhi sat in the middle of a group of grain merchants, and he was in a good mood recently.

Also, after all, whoever picks up money for nothing, the mood is not bad.

He and Qingliangzhai behind him were one of the first foreign grain merchants to discover this treasure plate in the grain market of Longcheng County, and when the local squire grain merchants were still urgently going to foreign acquaintances to transfer grain, the outsider Wang Caozhi had already made a decision to transfer the 30,000 stone of grain from the Qingliangzhai Commercial House in Hongzhou.

It can be described as a businessman who is fast, and he makes a fortune first.

After a large number of foreign grain merchants gathered in Longcheng County like a shark smelling blood, Wang Caozhi held a banquet in Yuanming Building, warmly received these colleagues, and shared the news of the situation in Longcheng County.

In the past half a decade, more and more grain merchants have come to Dragon City, but the price of grain has always remained at 20 yuan a bucket, even if it is their handiwork.

Doing business, everyone makes money together with harmony, what are you doing by fighting and killing or being a big family, you can't eat for a long time, even if the background is all over the world.

In addition, Wang Caozhi has another happy thing.

I met a daughter of the Xie family of Chenjun here, and she is also a very dazzling talented woman Xie Seventeen Niang, who is a great Confucian in the literary circle of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Wang Caozhi didn't have any wishful thinking, he was just a side brother of the Langya Wang family, and he took the way of doing business, and the Qingliangzhai he operated was not very valued in the family.

There is self-knowledge, the more high-ranking people are born and benefit, the more they maintain a strict hierarchy.

Wang Caozhi wants to have a good relationship with this Xie Qiniang, at least to be familiar, so that in case the Wang family's valued descendants can marry her in the future, he can go to climb the friendship, which is called betting in advance.

"Shopkeeper Wang Shao, how do I think this small Longcheng County can't digest so much of our grain."

Among the crowd of foreign grain merchants on the viewing platform, there was a tall middle-aged grain merchant with a purple head, and the string of small-leaf red sandalwood bracelets coiled in his hand stopped and frowned.

Wang Caozhi turned his head to look, this person is the most financially powerful among the foreign grain merchants this time, and he is also the largest grain merchant in the background except for him, surnamed Ma, and it is rumored that he is the white glove of a certain founding noble family in Jinling.

Wang Caozhi smiled rightly, "Don't be anxious, Longcheng County is just an appetizer, eat a little satiety first." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Wang Caozhi said calmly: "As soon as the price of grain in Longcheng rises, the grain in several other disaster-stricken counties around can't help but feel itchy......

"This Longcheng waterway is convenient, just to be our transit station, first transport the grain to this hoard, and then the entire Jiangzhou boundary disaster county is our dining table."

The shopkeeper frowned, but among the grain merchants present, there was another old grain merchant with a goatee who asked:

"What if the price of grain does not rise for a long time, and the grain is hoarded for too long and aged, the old grain can't be sold for a few dollars, and it can't be cheaper for those poor ghosts in the end."

The old grain merchant twisted the corners of his blue and black silk cloth with two fingers, and shook his head again, "The environment in which grain is stored in this place is too humid, and it is easy to age. ”

This old grain merchant's surname is Li, and his financial resources are second only to Ma Zhang's shopkeeper and Wang Caozhi, and I heard that he has something to do with the Hongzhou Governor Shijia.

Wang Caozhi's face remained unchanged, as if he had already thought about it, and pointed to the ferry under his feet:

"It's still dependent on the development of water transportation here. Therefore, we must communicate reasonably every day to sell grain, if we find that the market is not good, there is a risk of grain accumulation for a long time, we will quickly call a ship to transport grain and run away, now this is a disaster area, manpower is the cheapest, or a few dollars. ”

He smiled and showed a mouthful of big white teeth, pointed at the grain merchants, and then pointed at his smiling face:

"Everyone, you are not just coming out of the business, can't you catch this bit of wind and grass in the market? If you run away when you see a bad opportunity, is it difficult to do charity? Which of your uncles is not a thousand-year-old fox, I believe that many people have already prepared the boat in advance, so why bother asking the little nephew in one more move. ”

Shopkeeper Ma, Shopkeeper Li and others glanced at each other, and they all nodded and smiled.

A low-key grain merchant praised: "Wang Shao's shopkeeper is indeed sharp-toothed and thoughtful, no wonder he took over the family's business at a young age and took on a big responsibility." ”

"Don't dare to be it, I have to learn from your uncles in the future."

Wang Caozhi smiled and waved his hand, but he was a little disgusted and impatient in his heart...... I am a noble breed of Langya Wang, if I don't study and come out to make money, who would want to deal with you businessmen.

Wang Caozhi glanced at the Longzhou Race that was about to start in the river, turned his head and ordered his entourage, and brought some sweet rice dumplings.
