Chapter 344: Doumi Hundred Dollars
The matter of running out of grain began to happen a few days ago, and Ning Changrong didn't move, just to let these people learn some lessons, some of the cheapness is not so easy to take advantage of.
After the official reported the matter, he nodded, "I know, send more people to the city to maintain law and order."
The official touched the back of his head and withdrew.
After sitting for a while and dealing with some official documents, Ning Changrong stood up, stretched, walked out of the public room, and said to Ning Daniu on the side, "Let's go, let's go around too."
Ning Da Niu followed, and the two walked towards the city together.
"Do you want to see the grain stores?"
Ning Changrong bowed.
It didn't take long for him to arrive, and before he could get closer, he heard a commotion ahead.
"What? Why has the price gone up again?! Didn't he buy one hundred and one bucket rice just now? How did you get to me at one hundred and twelve?!" A citizen pointed at the people in front of him who were queuing up to buy food in front of him, and complained to the man in front of him.
The guy rolled his eyes, "Who told you to be late in line?" If you queue up late, you will have to suffer, if you want to buy, you can buy, if you don't want to buy, you will get out, the price is such a price."
The person who bought it before thought that the food he bought was a bit expensive, but now he sees that others want to buy more expensive food than he bought, and his heart is a little more balanced.
The man gritted his teeth, his eyes were red and he stared at the man in front of him, who was a little weak by his glare, and scolded, "What do you see? Look at me and I'll give you a bargain? Believe it or not, I'm going to raise the price again right away? To buy or not to buy?"
The people clenched their fists and let go, barely squeezing out a smile, "Buy, buy, buy." With a painful face, he handed over the silver from the money bag, took the grain in the other party's hand, checked it with his hand, and found that there was no shortage of catties or two, so he gave up.
While walking, I secretly scolded myself in my heart for what I was greedy for? Otherwise, I wouldn't have suffered such a big loss now!
Most of these people who came in a hurry to buy grain sold their own grain, and now they have to pay a high price to buy grain and go home, so it can be said that they not only spent all the money they earned, but even lost a lot of money themselves.
The guys in Wang's grain store looked at the other party's weight, and secretly rolled their eyes again, they won't do anything that is short of catties and two, it's not that they don't do it, but they can't do it, if they do, they will definitely be interfered with by the county government, and when the time comes, they will catch them and let them lower the price of grain, then the gains outweigh the losses.
"Next." The grain store guy said lazily.
In this way, everyone endured the pain of the flesh, broke their teeth and swallowed it in their stomachs, and bought the grain back at a higher price than when it was sold.
After an hour, the price of grain rose again, and Ning Changrong saw it from beginning to end, and when he left, the price of grain had risen to one hundred and thirty yuan.
Ning Daniu pursed his lips and complained on the road, "I think they just deserve it, and they don't want to be greedy for that little cheap to make some money that they shouldn't make."
They lived in Ning Changrong's fellow villagers, and no one dared to come to their door to buy grain, but they also heard a lot of news from next door, and the price of buying grain was getting higher and higher, from 30 yuan to 60 yuan and 70 yuan, and many people even sold their own rations.
"Man, you just can't control your greed." Ning Changrong sighed with emotion, "I hope they can learn some lessons after this time."
……
The backyard of Wang's grain shop.
"Boss, just like you planned, there is no food in the city except for us! They have to buy as much food as we set the price!" The shopkeeper of the grain shop said proudly.
"These foolish people don't want to think about why we spend so much money on their food, and they even sold their own rations, they deserve to starve to death, hahaha."
The proprietor smiled, "Okay, good job, I'll ask the Lord for credit for you."
The shopkeeper of the grain store was overjoyed, "The villain is here, thank you to the owner."
The proprietor asked, "The county government didn't trouble you?" Didn't Ning Changrong send anyone to ask?"
The shopkeeper said, "The county government has not sent anyone to find the small ones, but there are many officials around here, but they are all here to help maintain law and order
price, they buy it if they like it, pull it down if they don't buy it, and they don't force them, even if the county government knows, what can they do with us? Now all the food is in our hands, and if it offends us, the whole city will not have anything to eat."
"I always feel that something is wrong, this Ning Changrong likes to be nosy the most, and he even has requirements for how high the price of our food is, although we don't want his bullshit tax incentives, but he can't just ask."
The proprietor frowned.
Originally, according to their ideas, if Ning Changrong found that there was a problem over there and sent someone to deal with it, they would retreat a little, anyway, the grain road was so long, they would take a step back when people came, and they didn't have to fight them head-on to prevent the grain from entering the city.
But the problem now is that no one is in charge of the grain road, and Ning Changrong doesn't even ask about the price of grain, let alone where they transferred the grain from.
The shopkeeper smiled, "The owner is too worried, it may be that Ning Changrong didn't come over because we couldn't do it, the rules were set by them, now we haven't violated any rules, what can he do if he comes?" If we don't listen, isn't that a loss of face?"
"He still has to hold us now, if he offends us, let's close the grain store, or it won't be long before the city will be in chaos."
When the shopkeeper said that he would close the shop, the proprietor gave him a meaningful look.
"Okay, since it's okay, you can go back and continue to look at the shop."
The shopkeeper smiled and bent down.
After no one was around, the proprietor shook his head and fanned his feather fan, "That's it, it's useless to think too much, as long as the plan is okay."
As soon as the words fell, a pigeon suddenly flew into the yard, and the proprietor walked in and took out the note on the pigeon's leg, only to see that it was written.
[Closes after 10 days] There is also a specific time for the departure of carrier pigeons.
Counting the time, ten days later, in fact, eight days later, two days have passed.
After the note was taken, the pigeon fluttered.
The proprietor returned to his room and wrote a few notes and placed them on the legs of the pigeons in captivity in the yard, and the pigeons were released one after another.
Back in his room, he began to pack his luggage, taking everything he could take and burning everything that could not see the light.
"The grain shop should only last less than ten days, it just so happened that I took the opportunity to go out to transfer grain, the money shopkeeper, the money shopkeeper, don't blame me for being ruthless, I have enjoyed the benefits of my Wang family for so long, and it is time for you to serve my Wang family, and the master family will remember you."
He knew very well that now that they had closed all the grain stores in the city, and their own grain stores were also closed, it would definitely cause chaos in the city, and they would definitely be caught at that time, and it would be a dead end if they were caught.
The money shopkeeper proudly returned to the front of the store, and when he saw his figure, a young man leaned on it flatteringly,
"Shopkeeper, there are more and more people buying grain, and it is estimated that we will have to replenish the grain in eight or nine days."
The money shopkeeper nodded reservedly, "Do a good job, show me tightly, no one is allowed to steal it!"
The young man immediately assured, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, with me watching, no one will dare to steal food!"
