The next day, the beginning of the day.

"Big brother, second brother, these ...... It's all silver!? Chang Song didn't even see a large piece of silver ingot, and he couldn't help but see ten boxes of silver in front of him, it was like a dream.

Zhu Chengjun smiled at Chang Song, who had never seen the world, and turned his eyes to Shen Ze and instructed: "Grain procurement must be tight on the outside and loose on the inside, don't rush to make a deal." ”

The owner also asked himself to hurry up yesterday, and he couldn't wait to exchange the cash for food immediately, so Shen Ze was very busy, and it was only one night's work, and the owner's tone changed without warning in advance.

"Please also ask Childe to make it clear." Shen Ze looked puzzled, only feeling that the change came too suddenly.

Zhu Chengjun pretended to be mysterious and did not explain, but instead asked, "What about the price of food stamps?" ”

"As soon as it went on sale yesterday, in less than two hours, the grain stamps on the market had already been fried to six taels and five cents of silver, and today I am afraid that it will rise to five or six cents, and my subordinates expect that the price of grain stamps will be the same as the purchase price of grain last year in a few days. Through the smooth issuance of charcoal coupons and grain stamps, the reputation of Changxing ticket numbers is getting better day by day, and the business reputation is completely established. Shen Ze suddenly realized that everything was expected by the owner, and it was no wonder that he would ask to slow down the grain purchase plan.

Zhu Chengjun saw that Shen Ze still had a lot of confusion about his decision, and said: "You must be very curious why I created the illusion that food is in short supply. ”

After Zhu Chengjun mentioned it slightly, combined with the operation method of pushing up the price of carbon coupons in the early stage, Shen Ze quickly reacted and asked: "Does Childe want to copy the hype method of carbon coupons and concoct it in the same way?" ”

Zhu Chengjun shook his head and said: "It's impossible to do it again, with the lesson of the charcoal coupon in front of you, now people have become refined, and they are not so easy to fool." There is still a very important opportunity to make food stamps achieve such a high rate of return as charcoal stamps in the short term, and no one knows when this opportunity will come. Now what I want you to do is when everyone is hesitant to cash in on the food stamps, you suddenly take everyone by surprise, take advantage of the situation to lower the price of the food stamps, and then quickly recover at least 25,000 food stamps while the price is low, after all, we don't have so much food in our hands for the time being. ”

Shen Ze understood thoroughly and said, "Childe, this is to reduce the risk to the extent that we can compensate. ”

Zhu Chengjun shook his head and said solemnly: "In addition to protecting myself, I have other considerations, and I will tell you in detail when the time is right, your task now is to collect the food stamps issued as quickly as possible." ”

Although Shen Ze was curious about the so-called timing in Zhu Chengjun's mouth, it was equally important to do his own thing, so he immediately clenched his fists and stood up: "My subordinates will go down to arrange it to ensure that the task is completed." ”

Shen Ze knew that such operations looked very similar, but in fact they were very different.

In the absence of a food shortage and a complete deterioration of the situation, it is unlikely that there will be a significant increase in food prices. The overall trend of food prices is relatively flat, and it is not realistic to rely on food stamps to reap huge gains in the short term, and the best option is to minimize the risks that will be directly faced next. Now that Zhu Chengjun has the Wanshi grain promised by Yun Yingsleeve in his hand, he doesn't have to worry about the situation that there will be no grain to exchange, and he can even take the opportunity to reduce the price of grain stamps to break through the initial price.

However, Zhu Chengjun did not think so, if the grain prices were kept too low, with the business network operated by the four major grain merchants in Zhongli County for many years, their business would not be limited to a corner of the country, and the fluctuations in grain prices in other prefectures and counties would not be known at the first time. In addition, Lu Zu'an has fueled the flames with his own strategies, and with his greedy nature, he will inevitably push up the grain prices in the surrounding prefectures and counties of Lin'an and even the entire Jiangnan region.

At present, at the beginning of spring ploughing, there are at least four or five months before the summer grain harvest, and Zhang Hongcheng has been expropriating money before, and then there will be businessmen in this county who will sell grain to prefectures and counties with high grain prices for profit, which will inevitably cause a shortage of grain in Zhongli County. The people have no rice to cook, and it is not far from the birth of trouble.

Zhu Chengjun knew that all this would come soon, and with his current ability, he would not be able to reverse the overall situation at all, so he could only do his best to make the already small amount of grain stay in Zhongli County for some more time as much as possible.

Zhu Chengjun looked up at the sky, there was only so much he could do, and the rest could only be handed over to Heaven's will.

"Big brother, it's time to go." Xu Xiao stepped forward and asked.

Zhu Chengjun turned around to look at the angry Yan'er with a sad face, then looked at Lan'er who was resentful, and said softly: "In the few days that I am not at home, I have to worry about you a lot." ”

Entrusted by the family, what kind of trust does this have, Yu'er was suddenly moved.

"Childe, please rest assured, Yu'er will definitely take care of his home." The duck choked out parting tears.

Lan'er saw that Lang Jun was going out of the house, and her heart couldn't help but have mixed feelings, if she hadn't pretended to be reserved that day, she would be able to express her emotions openly like Yan'er today.

The brigade left the county seat and traveled to the deserted suburbs.

After a simple rest and meal, Zhu Chengjun led everyone to continue on the road.

Xu Xiao and Chang Song took turns driving, and the three of them sat on the wheels like this.

Along the way, everyone talked and laughed, and the journey was a little more interesting.

Walking to the narrow path between the two mountains, Zhu Chengjun took a look at the terrain, such a place is the most convenient place to set up an ambush, a heart rose vigilant for no reason, the smile on his face stiffened, and asked Chang Song: "Third brother, you have been in charge of charcoal transportation for half a month, is the road not smooth?" ”

Chang Song raised his finger and pointed to the mountain in the distance, and said, "I heard from the people in the town that a group of robbers have recently gathered in Funiu Mountain, ten miles away. In the past half a month, I have been going back and forth dozens of times, and I have not encountered a single one, presumably it is a rumor. ”

Zhu Chengjun simulated the situation of the robber attack in his mind according to the terrain, and thought that it was not a big mistake to be careful, so he immediately adjusted the formation and said: "Third brother, you immediately order half of the men and horses to keep a distance of about fifty zhang from us, copy the guy, if there is an accident, I will send a signal, and immediately after hearing the whistle, I will quickly move closer to us according to the rushing formation that I asked you to practice hard during training." ”

In times of unpeace, it's always right to be careful when you go out.

Xu Xiao and Chang Song exchanged glances, and quickly adjusted the formation as they said.

Slowly approaching the best ambush point, Zhu Chengjun saw that the grass and trees on the mountain were moving without wind, and as expected, he really encountered bandits who blocked the road and robbed the road.

"Up!" The bandits in ambush on the mountain threw off their disguises and rushed down the mountain one after another under the order of the bandit leader.

"Copy guys, line up!" Xu Xiao picked up his long stick and stood on the wheel of the car and commanded everyone to line up to meet the enemy.

Zhu Chengjun glanced at the hillside on the other side, where there was no movement, the bandits in ambush did not seem to have much experience, and the personnel were loosely organized, and then the bandits on that side were in a hurry and panicked when they rushed down the mountain, and their appearance was very funny.

Zhu Chengjun smiled disdainfully, looking at the formation of the bandits, he knew that they should have just fallen into the grass, and they might not have done such a big job a few times. Seeing the depth of the bandits at a glance, Zhu Chengjun immediately relaxed.

Seeing Xu Xiao put on a strict formation, the bandits couldn't help but slow down, but they couldn't resist the temptation of more than a dozen carts full of goods, and still rushed up blindfolded.

A swarm of people rushed up, and it would not be useful to use such a simple way of using troops to rush and kill in echelons, Zhu Chengjun immediately ordered Xu Xiao and said in a deep voice: "Teach them how to be people." ”

"Gotcha!" Xu Xiao jumped out of the carriage and brandished a long stick to take the leader of the bandits.

"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......" The sound of sticks intersecting kept coming.

"Keng...... Zheng ...... "The bandit leader drew a big knife full of rust and met Xu Xiao head-on.

Zhu Chengjun saw that only the bandit leader was equipped with a decent weapon, and the others used rough and rough clubs, and they dared to block the road and loot if the equipment was so simple.

Although the number of people in the Zhufu Nursing Institute was small, and it was the first time to face the enemy, they had all undergone relatively strict training, and their combat strength was obviously one grade higher than that of this group of bandits, and the battle soon became one-sided.

"Rush, ......" The bandit leader on the hillside on the other side saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly led people to rush down the mountain to support.

Zhu Chengjun saw that the bandit leader who was fighting fiercely with Xu Xiao had a few brushes, and he was able to fight with Xu Xiao for more than ten rounds without falling behind. Seeing that Xu Xiao had no time to command, Zhu Chengjun stood up and shouted: "Change the formation!" ”

Under the command of Zhu Chengjun, two-thirds of the nursing homes instantly organized a formation again and turned around to fight the bandits who came to support.

"Surround them and beat them!" The bandit leader who had just arrived saw that the combat strength of this group of people was not really weak, but his side had an advantage in numbers, so he only needed to surround them and then narrow the encirclement, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to subdue them.

Hearing the order, all the bandits moved and took a few steps back to form an encirclement formation.

"Slowly surround it!" The formation was formed, and the bandit leader gave an order, and a group of bandits marched forward step by step with sticks.

can organize a plate of loose sand in an orderly manner in just a few breaths, Zhu Chengjun knows that this person has some ability.

Xu Xiao saw that the bandits were advancing step by step, and the encirclement was becoming denser and denser, on the other hand, his eldest brother was in a good position, and he didn't give the order for Chang Song to rush to support, and secretly couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat.

"Huh......" Zhu Chengjun snapped his fingers.

"Brothers! Come on! Chang Song rushed to hear the news.

The besieged people were counter-surrounded, and when they saw the Zhufu Courtyard coming like a tiger, the bandits immediately panicked.

The Zhufu Courtyard that came later looked like a plate of scattered sand at first glance, but when they quickly switched formations to complete the counter-encirclement of all of them, the two bandit leaders were not calm for a moment.

The two bandit leaders knew that if they resisted immediately, they would definitely end up with an enemy on their backs, and even if they could change their formation in time to break through, they were afraid that they would not be the enemies of this group of well-trained nurses.

If you knew this, you shouldn't have gnawed on this hard bone.

"Lay down your weapons, Rao Er won't die!" Zhu Chengjun stood on the wheel and scanned the trapped enemy, and at the right time to attack their morale, if they resisted stubbornly, even if they could win today, it would be a miserable victory, so it was too worthwhile.

"Bang Dang ......" The hands of the few timid people in the group of bandits suddenly loosened their hands with sticks.

"Pick it up! Coward.! The bandit leader snorted coldly: "A few words will scare you softly." ”

Neither side took the lead, and it was a stalemate.
