Chapter 409: Don't Go Hungry Again
However, the man had not taken a few steps before turning back.
Walking in front of Li Changkong again, he asked with a straight face: "Childe, I want to ask you if you sell rice and noodles in a money shop, I... I can buy it with some extra silver. ”
The man looked at the money bag in his hand, a little painful, but his tone was extremely firm.
Just now, he figured it out!
With the current situation of the Great Jin, can you live with silver? Hehe,!
In such troubled times, if silver cannot buy food, it is a coveted disaster!
And with his skills, in this troubled world, he can't even keep half a steamed bun, how can he keep the more than 20 taels of silver? It's still the most reliable to replace it with rice noodles!
After all, the daughter of the family is still waiting for this rice noodle to save her life!
Hearing this, Li Changkong nodded, and said: "There is no need, now that there is indeed a shortage of food in Dajin, and there is not much stock in our money store, if you want to buy it, I am afraid it will be more expensive." ”
"Expensive... How much more expensive? The man gritted his teeth, sweat streaming down his forehead.
In such troubled times, food is a life-saving thing.
But they are firmly controlled by the powerful people in these high-ranking families, and if they want to get a little, they often have to pay an extremely painful price.
Although this son looks good, the momentum on his body should not be a good match.
You don't want to sell it for a pound of silver, do you?
Seeing that the man was already drenched in cold sweat, Li Changkong didn't buy Guan Zi anymore, and said directly: "It's not much, it's one percent higher than the previous market price." ”
"One... One percent? When the man heard this, he couldn't help but freeze in place, dumbfounded, and at a loss.
This... It's not the same as I imagined!
The man was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted, I'm afraid it's not that the other party sees himself pitiful and helps himself without a trace!
After reacting, the man fell directly to his knees, and it was a bang!
When he raised his head again, he was already in tears and incoherent.
"Thank you...... Thank you, Engong, your great kindness, if the small one has the ability in the future, he will definitely repay the favor! ”
Li Changkong looked at this scene, but he sighed, turned sideways slightly, and avoided this worship. He is just doing business normally, and the pricing of grain is indeed in line with the current market of Dajin, he didn't make more, and he didn't make less, how can he afford the other party's worship!
As for where the food came from, it was naturally a large amount of military rations brought by Li Changkong from Fuzhou!
Li Changkong had expected before he set off from Fuzhou that even if all the plans were successfully completed on this trip, the Great Jin Dynasty would probably be unprecedentedly chaotic, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the people were not living well.
When the time comes, food will be more precious than silver!
In addition, Fuzhou is located in the southeast and is known as the land of fish and rice, the grain output is very high, and the Fuzhou sailors are not short of grain, so Li Zhufeng only kept the necessary grain for himself, and Li Changkong took the rest away.
So nowadays, there is actually a lot of food stored in the money shop.
Li Changkong originally wanted to use these grains as interest and return them to the people in the capital of Jin, or sell them again in the form of trading.
After all, the interest rate set at the beginning was too high, even if he didn't have to repay the money of the family, only the people, Li Changkong was a little bottomless in his heart, and he was sure that it was not enough.
But now this scene made his heart slightly blocked.
But that's all, the two countries are at war, and there are many people who are worse than this.
If he loses in the future, the end may be even worse, he Li Changkong is still powerless, but he is in a high position, and I am afraid that it will be miserable at that time.
Now where does the heart come from to have mercy on others?
Besides, the current tragic situation of Dajin was not caused by him alone.
At most, he played a role in fueling the flames, and even the goal from beginning to end was the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty and the family of the Great Jin.
What really made the people of Dajin fall to this step of the field, in fact, Zhou Xingde was mainly responsible!
followed by the Zheng family, and finally he Li Changkong.
"It doesn't have to be like this, it's just a matter of buying and selling, we have always been fair in our money hunting."
"Buy as much rice and flour as you want, and after paying the money, take it yourself." Li Changkong waved his hand and said.
Originally, he turned around and wanted to leave, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned back and said, "By the way, I forgot to say it, I bothered to help promote one or two." Let's just say that we have opened a money shop again, and those who have deposited silver with us before can not only withdraw the principal and interest together, but also buy rice and noodles in our place. ”
"Good!" The man trembled with excitement and agreed very solemnly.
……
Chirping!
The old wooden door was pushed open, and the little girl with a pale face on the hospital bed immediately sat up and looked at the wooden door with a wary expression.
Seeing that it was his father who entered the door, he was relieved.
But then, a pair of eyes suddenly widened again.
What did she see! Rice! A bag of rice! And half a bag of noodles!
"Daddy......, where did you get these?" The girl's mouth was full of disbelief, but more than that, it was surprise.
But then, as if thinking of something, he curled up a little more towards the inside of the bed, looked at his father with more vigilance and fear, and at the same time began to feel uneasy about his surroundings.
He even looked around to see if anyone had come back with his father.
Seeing this, the man sighed and said, "Girl, don't worry, Dad didn't sell you." ”
"This rice and noodles were taken from the money store."
"Money? Now there is no money, dad doesn't want to deceive me. ”
"If it's sold, it's sold, and it's good to be able to support my father." The daughter is a little sad than dead.
"You girl, what are you talking nonsense, if you say something like this, I'm going to clean you up!" The man was a little angry and scolded: "If you say that you took it from the money store, you took it from the money store!" ”
"The owner of the money shop is back!"
"Not only did we repay the principal, but the interest was also given!"
"Not only that, but now the money shop also sells rice and noodles, which are bought for one or two silver!"
"You have always been in good shape on weekdays, but this time you are infected with wind and cold, but it is so serious, I think it is because you have not eaten."
"But now it's good, don't worry about it anymore!"
"Go and rest, and when Daddy is ready, I'll call you to eat."
When the girl heard this, she still couldn't believe it.
It's like a traveler who has been trekking in the desert for a long time and is dying of thirst when he suddenly sees an oasis and wonders if it's a mirage.
The girl felt that such a big good thing would not fall on her head out of thin air.
However, when she saw that her father had taken out the food and started cooking on the fire, she was sure that all this was true.
It's nice not to have to go hungry anymore!
