Chapter 138: Forcing Gu Zhan to kneel
Leng Lanzhi lifted the curtains of the car, looked at the long queue not far away, and ordered: "Go and ask, what's going on?" ”
Immediately, a guard went over to inquire.
After a while, the guard returned: "Princess, this is the concubine...... Oh no, it's a place rented by Shen Shizi of Pingnan Hou Mansion, which is specially used to sell charcoal, and it was only opened for sale this morning. The price of charcoal here is three times that of the usual charcoal. ”
Leng Lan's eyes sank: "This guy actually wants to make a fortune!" ”
It sucks!
During this time, she and the imperial brother spent so much energy to maintain the price of various necessities of life in Beijing, and it finally took effect, how could this moth be destroyed?
Want to make a fortune from natural disasters?
Dream on!
She said to the guard, "You go ......."
The courtyard rented by Shen Yizhi was large, and the backyard was piled up with black charcoal as high as a hill.
These charcoals cost Shen Yizhi most of his savings, making him overstretched now, and when he usually goes out to socialize with others, he can only slap his swollen face and become fat.
In the past few days, Yu Wan'er wanted money to buy new bead flowers, and Shen Lin'an wanted new four treasures of the study, and he had to grit his teeth to take out the money.
However, this bitter day is coming to an end.
Shen Yizhi looked at the charcoal buyers who were blocked in the backyard and lined up in several teams, and once again silently applauded in his heart for his wise decision.
Today it is only three times as much, and as the reserves of charcoal in the city become less and less, the price of charcoal will become higher and higher.
Even if other charcoal sellers reacted in the future and went outside to pull charcoal, it would take three to five days from their departure to transport the charcoal into the city.
In the past three to five days, he has sold all the charcoal and the money has been in his hands.
And if he sells three times today, he will sell five times tomorrow......
After all the charcoal is sold, the profit he makes will definitely be three times higher!
It could even be five times more!
He could use this extra profit to buy Yu Wan'er the latest bead flower of the Treasure Pavilion and the best four treasures of the study room for Shen Lin'an.
You can also use the rest of the money as the principal, waiting for the opportunity to find a new way to make money.
With such huge profits rolling, he believes that sooner or later he will be able to squeeze into the list of wealthy businessmen in Shengguo!
Even, becoming the number one giant businessman is not a dream!
And with money, he can use money to feed back the power, let An'er receive the best education, become the most outstanding young genius in Shengguo, let the nobles of the Gaomen willingly marry, and let the high-ranking families be willing to support his An'er to ascend to the throne!
When An'er climbs to the pinnacle of power, their father and son can stand on top of money and power and sneer at Leng Lanzhi - give up on us, it's your loss!
Just when Shen Yizhi was dreaming, a roar suddenly came from outside the courtyard: "The imperial court has already prepared an emergency charcoal fire, and it will be sold at the original price!" It's over the other side of Xilin Street! Don't buy it from this black-hearted merchant! ”
Shen Yizhi stood up with a sigh: "Quickly arrest that guy!" ”
However, when the thugs in the courtyard chased out, where was the figure of the man just now?
The man was gone, but the impact of his words did not dissipate.
After a while, the long line disappeared, and there were no other buyers in the courtyard except for a big man who was just about to pay the money?
The big man also heard the shout just now, and he naturally didn't want to be wronged, so he immediately turned around and left.
Shen Yizhi couldn't sit still: "Stop!" Do you want to leave before you buy charcoal and haven't paid for it? ”
The big man would have spent a lot of money to buy charcoal before, but there was really no way, after all, the temperature plummeted, and everyone in their family was about to die, so they would rather spend more money to save their lives first.
Now that they know that there is a cheap charcoal fire, if they pay a high price for the expensive one, it will be a fool, right?
"I haven't paid for it, I haven't bought it yet, why can't I leave?" The strong man relied on his own height and horse, and was not afraid of the thugs in the yard at all.
He snorted and was about to turn away.
One of the thugs shouted angrily: "Stop! ”
Soon, a group of thugs surrounded the strong man and punched and kicked him.
***
There are many people like Shen Yizhi who plan to make a batch of disaster money, and it did cause a lot of chaos at the beginning, and there are rumors that heavy snow will fall for several days in a row, causing road closures, and the city will run out of food in a few days, encouraging the people in the city to stock up grain as soon as possible, wanting to take the opportunity to raise the price of grain.
Fortunately, the imperial court quickly sent people to quell the chaos and control the price within a stable range.
Not long after Leng Lanzhi returned to the princess's mansion, Liusha walked in with a smile: "Princess, Shen Shizi's batch of charcoal has not been sold!" ”
After all, Shen Yizhi was doing business for the first time, let alone specializing in reselling charcoal, this time he only got a glimpse of the signs of natural disasters, and in a hurry, he let people transport a batch of charcoal from outside.
The charcoal was not of good quality, and it burned with a lot of smoke.
If the imperial court did not make active arrangements, he was the only one in the city who sold charcoal, and he would naturally be able to succeed in his treacherous scheme, after all, in the case of useless use, the smoke of charcoal is not so important, and he has to live first before he is qualified to talk about others.
It's just that the imperial court has made complete preparations this time, and none of the poisonous insects in the city who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune can succeed.
Liusha smiled again: "Now that Shen Shizi's batch of charcoal, no one buys it even at the original price, and it is estimated that he will die in his hands." Deserve! ”
Leng Lanzhi smiled and shook his head.
She also didn't expect that Shen Yizhi would become like this.
She can understand if she wants to make money, but why make this kind of bloody money?
"One more thing!" Liusha said: "In order to force the people to buy his high-priced charcoal, Shen Shizi actually forced him to buy and sell!" There was a person who didn't want it after hearing that the imperial court was selling it at a low price, and Shen Shizi was so frustrated that he let people beat that person!
Most of the man's life was gone, and his family wanted to get justice, but they were warned, saying that if they dared to make trouble again, the family would not be able to survive in Shengjing, and they almost smashed someone's home. ”
Immediately snorted: "But that family is also hard, or went to Jingzhao Mansion to complain, it's ......"
She stole a sneak glance at Leng Lan.
Leng Lanzhi was helpless: "If you have something to say, just say it, what are you doing in such a roundabout way?" ”
Liusha grinned, but soon made a sad face: "That Jingzhao Mansion Yin is a kind and muddy one, and although the Pingnan Mansion is now in decline, it is also a marquis, and the slave is worried that Jingzhao Mansion will not be judged well." She said cautiously, "Princess, should we take care of it?" ”
Leng Lanzhi said lightly: "You really have to take care of it." ”
How much effort did it take for her and her brother to stabilize prices?
Shen Yizhi actually disregarded the overall situation, disregarded the life and death of the people because of his own selfishness, and even used power to oppress the people......
The imperial rule of her Leng family is not so mediocre and corrupt that it can make him reckless!
