And on the other side.

The more they moved forward, the more rich businessmen such as Wang Lianfu and Zhang Guangkun saw a scene that made them even more desperate.

Even in such a hot weather, in the wilderness full of weeds, there are still dense people of Wanping County, holding big iron pickaxes and laboriously cultivating the fields.

Moreover, some of the styles of agricultural tools such as iron shovels and shovels in the hands of the people of Wanping County have never been seen before.

But it's much easier to use!

The speed of reclamation by the people of Wanping County is extremely fast, and basically two heads can be reclaimed out of a piece.

"Keep going!"

After watching it for a while, Wang Lianfu took a deep breath and ordered the carriage to continue moving forward with a pale face.

It's just a pity that it's the same scene wherever they go.

All the people of Wanping County seem to be tireless, and they have been working hard to cultivate the fields.

It was not until night fell, before the gate of Beiping Mansion fell, Wang Lianfu and Zhang Guangkun and other wealthy businessmen rushed back to Beiping Mansion.

"Outside the king, what should I do?"

"Hmph, all of this is a trap set by the treacherous and shameless magistrate of Wanping County and tens of thousands of people in Wanping County, how can the old man let him get his wish?"

Speaking of this, Wang Lianfu couldn't help gritting his teeth with hatred, and his heart was bleeding.

"It's not just Beiping Mansion in the north that lacks grain, I will go to Guangning or Liaodong to sell grain, although I can't make much money, but at least I won't lose money!"

"Then let's go to Liaodong!"

"In case of an accident, we will reload the grain on the big ship tomorrow and go to Liaodong!"

“……”

Nothing happened overnight.

Early the next morning.

Wang Lianfu, Zhang Guangkun and other wealthy businessmen quickly arranged for shop managers, gathered a large number of strong men, and reloaded the grain unloaded a few days ago onto the big ship.

This situation immediately aroused many onlookers of merchants.

There are even merchants who seem to come up to talk and inquire about the situation.

In this regard, because their peers are enemies, Wang Lianfu and Zhang Guangkun and other wealthy businessmen are just vague and do not explain the fact that they were deceived!

It took another two days, and when 100,000 stone of grain and 60,000 pieces of iron and shovel were brought onto the big ship.

"Set sail!"

With Wang Lianfu's order, the fleet began to set off.

However, before the fleet could go far, there was a commotion ahead.

The big ship paused and slowly stopped.

Wang Lianfu felt a little bad in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and walked out.

The steward Wang Gui ran over from the side, looking flustered, "Master, on the waterway ahead, suddenly a boat of King Yan sank for some reason, blocking half of the river!" ”

"Half a river?"

Wang Lianfu's heart sank directly.

"Back to the master, exactly. Now, the whole river can only pass half a foot wide passenger boats, and I can't wait for these big boats to pass! Wang Gui said again!

"Master, what should the fleet do?"

Wang Lianfu was annoyed, "Hmph, don't let this member go out?" I don't believe it outside of my own staff, I'll wait like this! I don't believe that the boat can be blocked in the river for a few days! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Wang Gui hurriedly answered, and then began to order.

……

"Very good, His Royal Highness King Yan is really reliable!"

In Wanping County, after listening to Yu Huowang's report, Guo An looked relieved.

"Don't pay attention to this matter, just send one or two people to keep an eye on the rich businessman in Jiangnan, and report to me if they have any movements!"

"Yes, county honor!"

Yu Huowang hurriedly responded, and then hurriedly retreated.

Guo An continued to bow his head and approve some documents, but it didn't take long for Ning De, the household scrivener, to walk in with a happy face.

"County Zun, now the people of Wanping County have reclaimed more than 1,900 hectares of fields, and I believe that in less than three days, 2,000 hectares of fields can be reclaimed!"

Guo An nodded slightly, and asked, "What happened to the melon, fruit and vegetable seeds collected by this official Rang Er and others?" ”

"Back to the county, they are all ready, enough to cultivate five thousand acres!" Ning Deyou hurriedly replied.

Guo An said directly: "Not enough! ”

"Not enough?"

Ning De was stunned.

"The people of Wanping County have reclaimed 2,000 hectares of fields, and only 5,000 acres of fruits, fruits and vegetable seeds can be found, how can I do it?"

Guo An continued: "After you are instructed, after the people of Wanping County have reclaimed 2,000 hectares of fields, they will stop cultivating and start planting melons, fruits and vegetables!" ”

"County Zun, this? ......" Ning Deyou was even more puzzled.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and if it continues to be cultivated like this, the people of Wanping County can't bear it!" Guo An said.

"The villain got it!"

Ning Deyou hurriedly replied.

Soon, Beiping Mansion once again set off a storm of purchasing melons, fruits and vegetable seeds.

However, it is the people of Wanping County who buy fruit and vegetable seeds from the people of the surrounding states and counties.

……

"What, after so many days, that broken ship still can't be towed away?"

On the Tonghui River not far from Haizi Wharf, on a luxury boat, the round Wang Lianfu turned in circles on the bow with a furious face.

Wang Gui stood in front of Wang Lianfu with a sad face, and reported in a deep voice: "Master, according to the villain's observation, the broken ship was not towed away at all. Even, the cargo that the wrecked ship fell into the water was not cargo at all, otherwise it would not have been left in the water without salvage!

Moreover, there are people who are specially guarded, and the villain feels that this broken ship is like a special block for me to wait! ”

Wang Lianfu pondered for a while with a gloomy face, then turned around and walked towards the cabin.

"It's ruthless, it's domineering enough, it's shameless enough...... Go and get the other three members here! ”

"Yes, sir! ……”

Half an hour later.

Wang Lianfu took Zhang Guangkun and others, got off the big boat, and went to the city.

That night, in a restaurant, a distinguished guest of the political envoy was entertained.

It's a pity that when he heard that it was a matter of Tonghuihe, the distinguished guest got up and left directly.

This wealthy businessman in Jiangnan doesn't know the inside story, but as an official of the political envoy department, how can he not know?

Not only was the Xiaozhi County of Wanping County eyeing the 100,000 stone grain, but His Royal Highness King Yan was also eyeing it!

Even, the three divisions of Beiping Mansion are also eyeing the 100,000 stone grain!

Otherwise, the merchant ships on the Tonghui River were blocked for ten miles, how could the three divisions in Beiping Mansion not have a trace of reaction?

And the official of the political envoy department, but Wang Lianfu and others, dared to come to Beiping Mansion to do business.

Seeing that his backers were so taboo about this, when he heard the reason, he didn't dare to eat and left directly!

Wang Lianfu and the others suddenly turned pale.

"Could it be that I really want to sell grain to the people of Wanping County?"

"We can also pay the grain to the political envoy of Beiping Mansion, and then exchange it for salt!"

"You still naively think that with that King Yan making a hindrance, we will still have the opportunity to pay all this grain to the political envoy of Beiping?"

"I'll have to give it a try......
