"Liu Xuanshi, do you know that Your Majesty will summon the person with the highest total score in this exam to meet in the Ning Xiang Pavilion?"

Mama Wang looked at the beautiful and graceful woman opposite, and quietly probed.

Liu Qing's heart jumped, and she also guessed Mama Wang's intentions, nodded, and said, "Naturally, I know!" ”

"Why don't you work hard?" Mama Wang sighed and said helplessly.

"Mama Wang, I've done my best......" Liu Qing felt that the person in front of him seemed to care too much about herself.

Did she feel that there was something wrong with her?

Liu Qing's heart tightened, and she didn't dare to look anything unusual on her face, looking well-behaved and obedient.

"Hey!"

Mama Wang sighed, she made it clear to her, Liu Qing still didn't understand, what else did she say?

His Majesty specially explained that he could not reveal the true situation to Liu Qing......

"Think about it for yourself!!"

Mama Wang shook her head and said, "Go back!" ”

"Yes, Mama Wang." Liu Qing was still confused, she still didn't understand what Mama Wang wanted to do when she was looking for her?

As soon as Liu Qing returned to her seat, a beautiful woman in green clothes came to her side.

An indifferent and arrogant female voice rang out.

"What did Mama Wang say to you just now?"

Liu Qing turned his head to look, and it was Lin Cairen.

"I didn't say anything, I just asked me to study hard and take the exam seriously." Liu Qing did not hide it and said truthfully.

"Humph!" Lin Cairen snorted coldly, stared at Liu Qing, and said coldly: "Even if you study hard, mud legs are mud legs after all, how many books have you read?" Can you learn the book of soldiers? ”

"A shallow woman like you who has no background, you should be an honest palace maid, and when you are old and decrepit, get out of the palace!!"

"That's your fate!!"

Liu Qing raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect the other party to ridicule her like this, obviously there was no contradiction between the two sides.

"Lin Cairen taught me a lesson, and Liu Qing remembered it." Liu Qing's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a calm tone.

"Humph!"

"The little sparrow also wants to fly up the branches and become a phoenix?"

"I can't help myself!!"

Lin Cairen sneered arrogantly and turned to leave.

Liu Qing looked at the back of the other party's departure, squinting slightly, she knew that if she didn't do something, if Lin Cairen was allowed to take the position, she might have a hard time in the palace in the future!!

Even if you don't go, you can't let Lin Cairen become the number one...... Liu Qing squinted slightly, he already had a plan in his heart, and looked down at the military book.

......

Qingzhou, a manor.

"It's almost time, and now it's the second step of the grown-up's plan."

Xiao Si handed over the information collected from all over Qingzhou these days to Zhou Zhenwen, who was pretending to be Shangguan Yu.

"Through the pounding of these days and the efforts of several great families, the locusts that should be rotten on the streets have become in demand again, and the prices have risen, and some people have begun to hunt locusts all over the mountains without planting crops......

"Like hungry wolves that smell blood, many merchants have also started to go crazy and start hoarding in large quantities, while continuing to collect locusts in the market and keep the price rising."

"It's a game of baton, and at any stage of the game, it's profitable, but whoever takes the last baton will fall into the abyss completely."

Xiao Si looked at "Zhou Zhenwen" and said softly.

"Has the market reached its limit?" "Zhou Zhenwen" put down the document and asked.

"Not yet, but no one dares to bet, no one dares to stay until the last moment, there are already families who have begun to sell secretly, once a large number of locusts appear on the market, the price will avalanche in an instant, according to the chain reaction that the adults said, the entire locust business will be wiped out!!" Xiao Si said in a deep voice.

"Selling so soon?"

"These families are really uncontrollable!"

"Zhou Zhenwen" smiled, she was not surprised by this result, after all, they are all hundreds of years of family, they are all old foxes, everyone knows the consequences of the avalanche, and no one wants to be the last wrongdoer.

"In that case, let's start according to the plan!"

"Start selling from other places first, let the merchants and families of various counties and counties take over first, and wait until the day before the locusts in their hands are about to be transported to Qingzhou City, throw out all the locusts in their hands, and let the price of locusts go to hell......"

The corners of "Zhou Zhenwen" hooked up a smile, and a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, sir." Xiao Si also showed a smile, "I'll arrange it." ”

"Hmm." "Zhou Zhenwen" bowed slightly.

In the next ten days, in several counties far away from Qingzhou City, a few lucky villagers suddenly discovered locust nests and dug up a large number of locusts.

Soon, the roasted locusts began to appear in large quantities in the market, and the merchants collected them in large quantities, thinking of shipping them to Qingzhou City for sale, making a difference in price and making a lot of money.

But as time passed, some merchants found that something was not right, the number of roasted locusts was too much, as if endless, no matter how they harvested, they could not harvest it all, and the more they collected, the more frightened they became, and the more they collected, the more frightened they became......

"No, no......"

"There's a problem, there's a problem here!!"

A pot-bellied businessman paced back and forth in the room, sweating profusely and looking nervous.

The little guy stood aside, looking at the old man so nervous, extremely puzzled, and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" What's the problem? Isn't everything going well? We collected 100,000 locusts this time, as long as they are transported to Qingzhou City, we can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver as soon as we sell them, which is a huge profit!! ”

"No, no, no...... no" The fat merchant turned pale and kept muttering to himself: "There is absolutely something, I didn't think of it, it's too smooth, everything is too smooth, it's so smooth that it's terrible, it's not like this when it comes to trading, there's definitely a problem, what exactly is the problem?" ”

Seeing that the old man's face was wrong, the little servant said with relief: "Master, don't scare yourself, what can go wrong, now that the price of locusts outside has skyrocketed, how can our locusts not be sold?" ”

"That's right, the price is skyrocketing, how can it not be sold......" The fat merchant repeated this sentence, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

"It's just that those lucky villagers were really lucky to find so many locusts...... I can't sell it all out......" The little guy was simply envious and jealous, muttering.

In an instant, the fat businessman's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head, stared at the little guy, and shouted, "What did you just say?" ”

"I ...... I ......" The little guy was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I said that those villagers are really lucky......

"No, it's not that!!" The fat merchant interrupted the little guy, "Next!!" ”

"It's possible to find so many locusts...... I can't sell it all anymore......" The little guy was also a little stunned and replied.

"I can't sell it all ......"

"I can't sell it all ......"

The fat businessman kept repeating this sentence, his face became more and more pale, and he became more and more ugly: "His grandmother's, this time the fat man is really pecked by an eagle, the grass is fucking, this is over, the fat man is going bankrupt this time!" ”

"Huh?" The little guy looked at the old man and didn't understand what was going on.

"!" The fat merchant shouted, "Ahhhh......hh This group of butchers, this group of executioners, this is to cut the fat man's meat!! ”

"Xiaoqi!!" The fat merchant looked at the little guy and asked, "How many days will it take for us to transport things to Qingzhou City?" ”

"If you go day and night, it should take about five days......" The little guy thought about it and said.

"Immediately, split these things, buy a batch locally, buy a batch from the surrounding counties, and arrange the purchase price, no, according to three-quarters of the purchase price, no, according to half of the purchase price, you must sell all the things within five days!!" The fat businessman's heart is dripping blood!! His face was distorted, and it was obvious that he had made a great deal of determination.

"Ahh

The little guy was also taken aback: "Master, if we do this, we will lose more than 100,000 taels of silver?" This is a direct loss of half, plus the worker's money......"

"What nonsense are you talking about, are you a master, or am I a master, don't go quickly!!" The fat merchant kicked the little guy hard and scolded: "Damn, slow down, it's half back, what kind of fart locusts are these, it's not even worth a copper plate, go quickly!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao Qi nodded again and again, and hurriedly ran out, touching her fart. share, while muttering: "You are the master, what are you talking about......"
