Lighting the red lantern and hammering the foot are the bridges in "The Red Lantern Hangs High".

Zhou Qiang happened to know someone who could hammer his feet, so he used this routine.

Not to mention, it's quite comfortable to hammer your feet every night.

Not a few days.

Tian Xiao'e and Wang Yuyan fell in love with hammer feet.

They're all a bit addicted.

Of course, the more addictive things they don't say.

After Zhou Qiang got married.

Calm has returned to Bailu Village.

However, there are still people who often talk about Zhou Qiang and his two beautiful daughters-in-law.

In Bailu Village, there is no man who does not envy Zhou Qiang.

Even Bai Jiaxuan, a righteous patriarch, envied Zhou Qiang in private.

Happy days go by quickly.

A month or two passed.

Tian Xiao'e and Wang Yuyan are both pregnant.

Zhou Qiang was a little bored.

He was thinking about whether he should marry a few more daughters-in-law, so that he could chat and relieve his boredom in the evening.

This evening.

Room 2.

"Brother Qiang, let me tell you something, my eldest brother asked me to lie to you about the secret recipe." Wang Yuyan told Zhou Qiang everything about the Wang family's conspiracy.

Although, Wang Yuyan didn't say it, Zhou Qiang could basically guess it.

But Wang Yuyan still said it.

After Wang Yuyan married Zhou Qiang, she was a little 'happy'.

Now that she is pregnant, she has completely "changed her mind".

I feel that my whole body and mind are Zhou Qiang's, and I can't lie to Zhou Qiang anymore.

"Swift, your family's plan is known to anyone with a discerning eye." Zhou Qiang didn't pretend to be stupid.

The Wang family married their daughter to the Zhou family in Bailuyuan.

For those who have a little ability, just ask around at random and know that there is something strange.

Only mud legs, people at the bottom of society, dream of pies falling from the sky all day long, and they will feel that Zhou Qiang's marriage to Wang Yuyan is a good thing and good luck.

There will be no pie in the sky.

If it really falls, it will only kill people.

"It turns out that Brother Qiang knows." Wang Yuyan was not too surprised.

Everyone is smart, and if you have to play stupid, you will be really stupid.

"Swift, the shop where you are married, your cousins are in charge. In this way, you let them raise the price" Zhou Qiang wants to make a fuss about grain prices and disrupt the Wang family's grain business.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Qiang." Wang Yuyan married Zhou Qiang and was supposed to be a traitor, but she 'betrayed' and fell in love with Zhou Qiang completely, unwilling to do anything to hurt Zhou Qiang.

As for why "apostasy"?

Well, Wang Yuyan was conquered by Zhou Qiang.

This kind of situation is not uncommon, as if there is a similar scene in a banned movie.

Dealing with the Wang family is a piggybacking business.

Zhou Qiang didn't bother too much, just let his subordinates do it.

As for the bandits who ambushed Zhou Qiang's Bald Ridge before.

Zhou Qiang has also sent someone to inquire about the situation.

These bandits, robbing homes and houses, doing all kinds of evil, Zhou Qiang will have to clean up sooner or later.

The new-style primary school is already operating normally, and Zhou Qiang doesn't need to go every day.

The family's business has also been arranged, and there are not many things that need to be busy with Zhou Qiang.

After a day of nothing, Zhou Qiang really called Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang again.

"There are only two wives and concubines in the family, which is too little." Zhou Qiang said it casually, just one meaning, he also wants to marry a wife and take a concubine, and he wants to be beautiful.

"It turns out that both ladies are pregnant, congratulations to Boss Zhou, congratulations to Boss Zhou!" The two matchmakers congratulated a few words, "Don't worry, you are still a woman from a scholarly family, we will find you as soon as possible to ensure that you are first-class beautiful." ”

The two matchmakers left happily.

Because, Zhou Qiang promised that after the deed is completed, it will still be twenty yuan of happy money.

Introducing Zhou Qiang's daughter-in-law is a matter that all three parties are satisfied with.

Zhou Qiang is satisfied, his daughter-in-law is satisfied, and the matchmaker is also satisfied.

It didn't take long.

The villagers of Bailu Village gossiped again.

"Did you hear that? Boss Zhou is going to marry a daughter-in-law and take a concubine again! ”

"I heard that Boss Zhou is very capable, and the two beautiful daughters-in-law are pregnant, and Boss Zhou is so lonely that he can only marry his daughter-in-law again."

"Boss Zhou is amazing!"

"Boss Zhou is so good!"

"Boss Zhou is awesome!"

Zhou Qiang inadvertently gained a lot of envy and admiration.

Bai Jiaxuan's house.

"Jiaxuan, I heard that Zhou Qiang is going to marry a daughter-in-law again?" Xiancao was a little surprised.

"Yes, I just heard from the third brother.

Zhou Qiang's two daughters-in-law are pregnant.

No one slept with Zhou Qiang at night, so he immediately found two matchmakers to come to the door.

said that he wanted to marry a few more, and he had to be beautiful. Bai Jiaxuan had some envy in his eyes.

Normal men would envy Zhou Qiang.

"I didn't expect Zhou Qiang to be a pervert this time!" Xiancao didn't know why, and blushed a little.

"The little widow with the third brother is pregnant." Bai Jiaxuan suddenly talked about Lu San's family affairs.

"What? Third brother, he has a baby again? Xiancao was stunned and thought, "Why are you giving birth to babies?" Do I want another one? ”

Bai Jiaxuan seemed to have the same idea, and pulled the fairy grass into the house to work.

Lu Zilin's house.

"This Zhou Qiang, it turned out to be a hungry ghost in the middle of the sex, with such beautiful two daughters-in-law, he is not satisfied, and he wants to marry again, it is really unreasonable." Lu Zilin was contemptuous, and envy appeared in his eyes.

"It's something that people have the ability to do.

In a month or two, both daughters-in-law are pregnant, what does this mean?

It shows that people take good care of their own land.

There is no wasteland outside. Lu Taiheng looked at Lu Zilin with disgust.

alludes to Lu Zilin messing around outside, not sleeping with his daughter-in-law at home, only giving birth to two babies, and not giving birth to any more.

The bad things Lu Zilin did, Lu Taiheng basically knew.

Lu Taiheng looked down on Lu Zilin very much.

"Cut, what's the big deal, wait until he gives birth to a son." Lu Zilin couldn't do it, and wanted to go to Widow Li's house to sit.

Lu Zilin originally wanted to go to the little widow's house, but the little widow was too fierce and needed to slow down.

It didn't take long.

Zhou Qiang's wedding was held again.

This time, marry two at the same time.

They are all as beautiful as flowers.

The old, middle-aged and young men who are watching are envious.

Mr. Zhu also knew about Zhou Qiang and was very disappointed in Zhou Qiang.

Mr. Zhu felt that Zhou Qiang was too vulgar, too superficial, and too indulgent.

Mr. Zhu originally had expectations for Zhou Qiang, but he didn't expect Zhou Qiang to be so obsessed with gentleness.

Mr. Zhu had to sigh that "the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass".

Zhou Zhai.

"Room 3 and Room 4 are lit up!" The two mothers-in-law went to hammer the newcomer's feet again.

Of course, after hammering the newcomer's feet, you have to go to the two pregnant ones.

Soon the two newcomers went to the North House a little shyly.

One of them is named Zhang Xiulan and the other is Han Su'e.

They are more beautiful in appearance and have good figures. (As long as you have money, you can always find beautiful women.) Even if it's a brainless beauty, you can train it slowly. ）

The two newly married have even worse family backgrounds.

It is said that it is a scholarly family, but in fact, there are no talents, lifters, and no scholars in the family, but there are relatives who read.

It doesn't matter, though.

The matchmaker also figured out Zhou Qiang's thoughts.

As long as the woman is beautiful, everything else is easy to say.

The bride price given this time was one hundred and fifty yuan.

The dowry is just a few new clothes.

Zhou Qiang didn't care about the dowry.

"Come, give the master a wide coat!" Zhou Qiang started a happy life again.

This time, Zhou Qiang plans not to be in a hurry to have a child, and to play a good game first.

The days passed.

this day.

Morning.

Wang Yuyan's two grain shops suddenly increased in price.

Not only has the selling price increased, but so has the purchase price.

It didn't take long.

The news reached Wang Ju's house.

"What? Have the prices of Swift's two shops increased? Wang Juren was a little confused, "Let the second child ask." ”

Wang Lao Er will be back soon.

"Second child, what's going on? Why the price increase? Wang Juren hurriedly asked.

"The guys don't know, it was said that the swift notified the price increase, but I didn't say why." The price of the grain store rose because Zhou Qiang made it rise, as for why it rose, Zhou Qiang planned to make up a story and pit the Wang family fiercely.

"Swift let it go up?" Wang Juren frowned, thought about it, but couldn't think of anything.

"Dad, do you want to send someone to Bailu Plain to ask?"

"Okay, go ask us."

"There's no reason for the price of food to rise, it's just to make more money." The people sent by the Wang family didn't see Wang Yuyan, so they were sent back by Zhou Qiang's words.

Wang Ju's family.

"For no reason?" Wang Juren's face was a little unpleasant.

"Dad, it must have been the Zhou family who heard something and didn't tell us." Wang Lao'er also had a bad face.

"The key is why it went up!" Wang Juren was a little angry.

"Dad, should we go up?"

"Up? The autumn grain has just passed, and now it is rising, how can it rise? "When food is in abundance, the price is rising, and it's crazy.

"Why don't you let someone sneak a sneak peek at the swifts?" The Wang family has been very careful in order to plot Zhou Qiang's secret recipe.

After Wang Yuyan got married, she hadn't secretly contacted her, just because she was afraid that Zhou Qiang would find out.

The Wang family is very patient, they plan to live a year or two, and after Zhou Qiang relaxes his vigilance, they will try to do something else.

"This." Wang Juren was a little hesitant, worried that he would startle the snake and lose a big one because of a small thing.

"You can't contact Swift privately yet!" At this time, Boss Wang returned.

His tone was firm.

He felt that the price increase of grain was not a big deal, and there was no need to risk secretly contacting Wang Yuyan.

"Yes, yes, no." Wang Juren also figured it out, "You can't lose the big because of the small." ”

"Then should we raise the price?" Wang Lao Er asked.

"The price of Swift's two shops has increased by three percent, let's follow the price by one and a half." Boss Wang came up with a compromise solution.

"Okay, that's it."

Two days passed.

Wang Yuyan's two shops have increased in price again.

Last time, it rose by 30%, and this time the price has risen, which is equivalent to doubling the initial price.

That's a big increase.

At the same time, the purchase price has also risen a lot.

Wang Ju's family.

"What? The price has risen again? Wang Juren looked surprised.

"Yes, the purchase price is the same as the price we sell." Wang Lao Er was a little panicked.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and such sharp price increases will first cause panic among businessmen.

Wang Lao Er muttered in his heart: "Such a price increase is too unusual."

Something, there must be something.

If something happens, something big has to happen. ”

"Where's your eldest brother?" Wang Juren ran out of ideas and wanted to ask Boss Wang.

"I've already notified my eldest brother."

A moment later.

Boss Wang is back.

He looked solemn.

"Boss, what do you say?" Wang Juren asked.

Boss Wang frowned and was silent.

"Big brother, do you want us to go up too?" Wang Lao Er asked.

"It can't go up anymore." Boss Wang shook his head and explained: "If it rises again, our purchase price will be higher than that of other counties." ”

Wang Juren followed and said: "Yes, if it really wants to be like this, everyone will go to other counties to buy grain, and then sell it to us." Aren't we fools? ”

"Then why did the two shops of Swift increase in price? Isn't she afraid that grain from other counties will be sold? Wang Lao Er looked puzzled.

"The purchase price is so high, there must be something, something big, but we don't know." Boss Wang frowned and said.

"Yes, big brother, I also think there must be something big, but Zhou Qiang on that dog day didn't tell us." Wang Lao Er said angrily.

"Let's ask Zhou Qiang again." Boss Wang hesitated, "I'll go in person this time." ”

Zhou Zhai.

"Brother-in-law, I didn't see you for a while last time, you are good lately, my swift" Boss Wang exchanged a few words with Zhou Qiang, and asked directly: "Brother-in-law, why did the price of your two grain stores rise?" ”

"Big brother, come, this is Longjing before the rain, try it to see if it tastes good." Zhou Qiang smiled and played sloppily with Boss Wang, but he didn't say why.

"Brother-in-law, did you hear anything?" Boss Wang cheekily continued to ask.

"Big brother, come, this is a cigarette roll brought from the magic capital, you can taste it."

"Brother-in-law, we are a family. If you don't tell me if you have any news, it's a bit too much to say.

Don't you think we're relatives? Boss Wang pretended to be angry.

"Big brother, this, I really can't say it, but the price of my shop has risen, it must be right, and you will follow suit." Zhou Qiang still didn't say.

Boss Wang continued to pester, but Zhou Qiang didn't say a word.

"Where's Swift, I'd like to see her." Boss Wang planned to ask Wang Yuyan openly, so that he would not be afraid that Zhou Qiang would suspect others.

"Swift is pregnant, unwell, and resting."

"What? Feeling unwell? That's just a good look, and I'll ask someone to send the old ginseng over when I turn around. "Boss Wang has to see Wang Yuyan.

Zhou Qiang stopped him, pretending that he couldn't stop it, so he asked Wang Yuyan to come out.

Wang Yuyan just came out.

Zhou Qiang spoke first, "Yuyan, your eldest brother came to see you, and said to give you an old mountain ginseng." ”

Zhou Qiang walked over, hugged Wang Yuyan, and then said: "Why is the price of our grain store rising, I can't sue your eldest brother." Otherwise, it's a big deal. ”

Yes, Zhou Qiang said this in front of Boss Wang.

made Boss Wang's face look ugly.

But Boss Wang could only endure it without having a seizure.

"Don't worry, Brother Qiang, I know that this matter can't be spread outside, and I won't tell my eldest brother." Wang Yuyan nodded and looked at Boss Wang, "Big brother, I can't say why the price of grain has risen, but the price of food in our family can follow suit, this opportunity is rare, and I can make a lot of money." ”

As if he was worried that Wang Yuyan had said too much, Zhou Qiang hurriedly beckoned Wang Yuyan to sit down and talked about other things.

Listening to Wang Yuyan's words, Boss Wang suddenly had some guesses in his heart.

A sudden spike in food prices is nothing more than a major event, such as a war or a disaster.

"Swift, where are you uncomfortable, do you want to ask the doctor to come and have a look?" Boss Wang pretended to care about Wang Yuyan.

"Nothing, just don't want to eat. I just asked Apricot to buy dried sour plums. Wang Yuyan chatted a few words, didn't stay long, and went back to the backyard.

"Brother-in-law, when I go back, I will ask someone to send the old ginseng that is treasured at home." After meeting Wang Yuyan, Boss Wang had a little guess and immediately took his leave.

"What's the hurry, big brother, let's eat together." Zhou Qiang pretended to be polite and sent Boss Wang out.

After Boss Wang left, he went around to the street on the side of Bailu Town.

Sure enough, I met Wang Yuyan's personal maid Xing'er.

"Young Master, this is given to you by Miss." Xing'er handed Boss Wang a note.

"Got it." Boss Wang hurriedly looked at the note, revealing an expression of 'sure enough'.

The day Boss Wang went back.

The price of grain in Zishui County has risen.

The selling price and the purchase price have risen, and they have risen sharply.

Of course, it is said that it is Zishui County, but it is actually all the grain shops of the Wang family.

The Wang family monopolized the sale of grain in Zishui County.

As a result, everyone sold grain to the Wang family and then bought grain from other counties.

The next few days.

The grain of the Wang family only goes in and does not go out.

The second-way dealers made a lot of money.

However, instead of falling in price, the grain in Zishui County has risen again.

The first to raise prices were Wang Yuyan's two grain shops.

The price is four times the original price.

Wang Ju's family.

"Dad, the price of the Swift's grain shop has risen again!" Wang Lao Er hurriedly reported the situation. For the past few days, he has been staring at the prices outside.

"Then let's go up." Wang Juren said slowly. He already knew why the price had risen. He wanted to make a fortune.

"Dad, the price of the Swift is four times the price, let's just increase it more this time, five times, right?" Wang Lao Er has a big appetite and wants to make more money.

"Okay, five times is five times, and in a few days, I'm afraid the food will be ten or twenty times as much." Wang Juren was confident, and it seemed that everything was calculated.

Because of the rising price of Wang's grain, Zishui County has caused a lot of movement.

There are quite a few businessmen who are waiting and watching.

Many people went to Wang's house to inquire about the situation, but they couldn't find anything.

But everyone thinks that when the Wang family hears some news, the grain will definitely rise sharply.

So, someone followed suit.

One person followed suit.

Food prices are getting faster.

In this case, the price of grain in Zishui County and several surrounding counties has increased.

Soon the price of food was close to 10 times.

This evening.

Zhou Qiang summoned a few henchmen to come over.

"Zhang Biao, the sixth child, you go to Zishui County, like this, like this."

"Understood, owner, promise to complete the mission!"

One night passed.

The next day.

A lot of the grain that Zhou Qiang had accumulated was sold.

It's still sold at ten times the usual price.

The huge profits were earned by Zhou Qiang.

Zhou Qiang ran out of food in his hands.

In Zishui County, businessmen of all sizes have saved a lot of grain, and they all buy it at a high price.

They see it as a business opportunity.

Wang Ju's family.

"Dad, there is no cash at home." Wang Lao Er hurriedly reported the situation.

"What? Out of money? The king was shocked.

"Yes, I have collected a lot of grain recently, and I have no money."

"I'm not afraid of no money, as long as I have food, I won't be able to earn it back in a few days." Wang Juren was not worried at all.

"But we don't have money, so Lao Li's family collects more grain." (Lao Li is a big businessman in Zishui County.) ）

"This Lao Li, he is not in the grain business, why is he grabbing grain with us, it's really not a thing."

"Dad, why don't you go to the bank to borrow some money?" Wang Lao Er came up with an idea.

"Borrow money?" Wang Juren hesitated.

"Dad, support the bold and starve to death, after this village, there is no such shop."

"Do you want to talk to your eldest brother?"

"No, my eldest brother will definitely agree." Wang Lao Er doesn't want to go through Wang Boss in everything.

"Okay, just go borrow money for a month!" Wang Juren made up his mind.

After the Wang family borrowed money, they continued to increase prices and collect grain.

Another few days passed.

Food prices have not risen.

Because it is too expensive, it is impossible to keep rising, unless there is a natural or man-made disaster.

However, the autumn grain has just been harvested, and the grain is still relatively abundant in every household, and there is not so much demand.

Now, just wait for the news to come out.

What's the news?

Fighting!

War is the only way to make food suddenly skyrocket.

The news that the war was going to be fought was made up by Zhou Qiang and deliberately leaked to Boss Wang.

In recent years, there will be no war on the side of Zishui County.

The speculators in Zishui County are a little anxious.

Why?

Because the news of the war, which should have appeared, has not yet appeared.

Some people can't hold on.

For example, Swift's grain shop suddenly sold grain.

Also sold secretly.

It's still sold at a high price.

When everyone didn't react, they sold all the food.

Earn a lot of money!

What is an avalanche?

Wang Yuyan sells grain, causing an avalanche.

Boy.

Just an hour or two.

Grain prices in Zishui County have plummeted by five or six times and are still falling.

But no one buys it!

Wang Ju's family.

"Dad, something happened!" Wang Lao Er yelled.

"I know! Quick, sell all the food! ”

"I can't sell it, the food is still plummeting!"

"What the hell is going on? Isn't there going to be a war? The king was angry again.

"I don't know, Swift's grain was sold at a high price, and then the grain plummeted!" Wang Lao Er was still confused.

"It's broken!" Wang Juren seemed to think of something, and shouted, "It's over, it's all over!" "Fainted.

Less than a day.

The price of grain in Zishui County has avalancheed.

Plummeted, fell miserably.

Dropped to half of the initial price!

It falls to this extent that the price is considered stable.

Because, at this price, some people collect grain tepidly.

The doctor soon came to Wang's house.

"Wang Juren is fine, just rush to the heart, take a few pills, and rest and rest." The doctor is here.

"It's okay, I'm sorry to trouble Dr. Tian." Boss Wang is quite calm.

"Big brother, what should I do now?" Wang Lao Er looked anxious.

"What are you panicking, you have to calm down, and you want Mount Tai to collapse in front of you without changing your color." Boss Wang reprimanded. Because of the loss of money, Boss Wang was also in a bad mood.

Wang Lao Er couldn't help but shout: "But the grain has plummeted, big brother, the grain has plummeted!" ”

"It's okay, at most it's a loss of money." Boss Wang's heart was also dripping blood, but he held on to his face.

"Big brother, there is also a money bank. We borrowed a lot of money from the bank! ”

"What? What's going on? ”

"Before, the family had no cash, so I went to the bank to borrow money," Wang Lao Er said about borrowing money.

"What? You're confused! Boss Wang was furious, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he stretched out his hand and slapped Wang Lao Er.

"What are you hitting me for?" Wang Lao Er was furious.

"Who told you to borrow money from the bank?" Boss Wang still wants to beat Boss Wang.

Not to be outdone, Wang Lao Er fought with Wang Lao.

It's not just the Wang family that lost money.

Merchants of all sizes in Zishui County have lost money.

A lot of people are facing bankruptcy.

That's when it happened.

A whistleblower letter was sent to the Governor's Palace.

The report is about the Wang family's misdeeds.
