Soon the Yuelai rice shop was opened, and in less than two days, the rice buckets, long cabinets, signboards, and guys were all ready.

Everything is in place, only the east wind is owed.

The emperor took Du Zhiyan to Zhao Ji Rice Shop.

The owner of Zhao Ji's rice shop saw a rice shop open on the ground opposite the Yuelai Inn, and scolded three times a day, which kind of dead ghost robbed his business and grabbed his head Zhao Ming, isn't it dead?

He Zhao Ming has earned a net worth of tens of thousands of taels in Yongxing City, and the silver earned by the famine has doubled in the past two years, such a good momentum, if someone wants to insert a lever from it, then Zhao Ming will naturally fork him out of Yongxing City first.

The tender seedlings in the Yuelai rice shop opposite, Boss Zhao has also figured out clearly and secretly.

His men reported to Boss Zhao like a trumpet:

"That young man is from the capital, and he is known as the fourth boss."

"Four bosses? There are three bosses ahead of him, huh? Where are they? ”

"It's not that there are three bosses in front of him, his name is Sixi, Chang shopkeeper and others call him four bosses, the four bosses are rich, capricious, bold, Xiao Wangzi boiled a pot of bath water for him, he rewarded Xiao Wangzi with a tael of silver, rented the inn opposite, and directly gave a hundred taels of silver tickets, I heard people passing by say that he just said hello to the four bosses, and the four bosses were in a good mood and gave him two taels of silver."

"They came from the capital, they have been imperial merchants for generations, I heard that many of the food in the palace are supplied by his family, and the wife of the fourth boss also brought a lot of rouge gouache, and don't want money to reward those who are destined, tsk, they have only been here for a few days, and their names have already started, and everyone says that these two people are living Bodhisattvas."

Boss Zhao is a businessman, and a businessman is shrewd.

Of course he knows that what kind of living bodhisattvas go down to earth, these living people have traveled thousands of miles to Yongxing City, of course, not to be bodhisattvas, but also for profit.

Since these people have opened a rice shop, they are fighting with his Zhao Ji rice shop.

The rice shop in Yongxing City, Boss Zhao has almost cleaned up, a hundred flowers bloomed back then, and now Zhao Ji's family is dominant, of course Boss Zhao does not allow a second one to emerge.

I didn't expect them to dare to come to the door.

Boss Zhao took a posture and leaned on the bench drinking tea.

The guy reported that when the fourth boss came over, Boss Zhao had already thought of a line to scare him, so he said that not everyone in Yongxing City could come and intervene, and when outsiders arrived in this realm, they had to see if they had their lives to take it away. In the past, there were also people who came to open a rice shop, and within three days they ate people's stomachs, and there were scoundrels who went to make trouble, and some poor people were so hungry that they went into the store to grab rice, and the rice shop was open for less than half a month, and they lost hundreds of taels of silver to go in, and the owner of that shop ran away overnight.

Boss Zhao drank tea and looked at the person in front of him, thinking that when these lines were thrown out, it was estimated that this son and this lady would be so frightened that they would turn around and run away.

Unexpectedly, before he opened the door, the son in the smoke gray brocade round-necked robe asked him first: "How many meters is there in Zhao Ji Rice Shop?" I bought them all. ”

Boss Zhao's thought of the lines were stiffly held back.

"There are still two thousand catties of rice, what's wrong."

"How much is a pound?"

Boss Zhao deliberately scared him: "Four hundred wen a catty." ”

When the harvest is good, the price of rice can be sold for ten wen a catty. 400 wen a pound of rice, there is no such price when it comes to the horizon.

Unexpectedly, Gongzi was not intimidated at all: "Boss Zhao, you sold this rice cheaply." ”

Boss Zhao

I can't drink the tea anymore.

Boss Zhao couldn't figure out the details and intentions of the other party.

Childe directly auctioned out a thousand taels of silver tickets on the table: "I bought two thousand catties of rice in your store, and my Yuelai rice store has just opened, so I can't live without rice." ”

Boss Zhao looked at the silver ticket and fell into deep thought: "Fourth boss, is this a joke or should he be a bodhisattva who saves the suffering?" Everyone knows that Yongxing City is short of rice, and the four bosses take 1,000 taels to buy rice, such a valuable rice, are the four bosses planning to help the people? This is a lot of money, the fourth boss made such a decision at a young age, so willful, Ling Tang is willing? ”

"A little bit of silver, it's not enough. I bought your rice, of course, not to help the people, to help the people, that is the matter of the court, although I am an imperial merchant, but I also want to make money, of course I bought this rice to sell. ”

"The fourth boss bought my rice, and it was already half a tael of silver a catty, so what was the selling price?"

"A tael of silver and a pound of rice."

Boss Zhao was shocked.

The people from the capital are ruthless.

He sold three hundred wen a pound of rice, and he had already been poked in the backbone, and the price of rice in Yongxing City had never been so outrageous for five thousand years, and the son in front of him actually said that he would sell it for one or two pounds of silver, isn't that a fantasy?

Sure enough, there is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not firm.

Isn't it a joke to sell a tael of silver and a pound of rice?

Since he wants to be the wronged leader, of course Boss Zhao is willing to satisfy him.

Boss Zhao accepted 1,000 taels of silver, and immediately weighed 2,000 catties of white rice and sent it to Yuelai Inn.

On the second day, the Yuelai rice shop opened for business, and sure enough, as mentioned before, the rice in the Yuelai rice shop sold for one tael of silver and a catty.

The people in the city thought that the newly opened rice shop had some benefits, and they poured up like a tide early in the morning, and when they saw the price of rice written on the sign hanging out, everyone couldn't help but curse.

"The surname Zhao is black enough, this young man is darker than Boss Zhao, he actually sells for one or two silver and a pound of rice, and the meat is not so expensive."

"Sure enough, the most pitiful thing is our people, who have worked hard for a year, and the money they earn is not enough to buy rice, and my son and daughter are about to starve to death."

What's more, because he couldn't get angry, he grabbed the cabbage and radish in the basket and threw it at Du Zhiyan and Min Jian.

Boss Zhao happily transported another thousand catties of white rice from the warehouse, according to the previous practice, he sold three hundred wen a catty, the people in the city heard that Boss Zhao's rice was only three hundred wen a catty, not to mention expensive, after all, there is no harm in comparison, everyone began to rush to buy Boss Zhao's rice, and soon a thousand catties of rice bottomed out.

In the past, everyone scolded Boss Zhao for being black-hearted, but now everyone scolds the new businessmen for being black-hearted, but Boss Zhao has been blessed by misfortune.

At night, Min Jian found Boss Zhao again.

Boss Zhao even sympathized with him a little: "Boy, you don't know the market of Yongxing City, I advise you to go back to the capital, and if you continue to work, how much silver you have enough money to compensate." ”

Min Jian asked with a smile: "Does Boss Zhao still have rice, I still want to buy two thousand catties." ”

"There is another ship coming tomorrow, and I can give you two thousand catties at that time. But silver."

Min Jian directly auctioned a silver ticket of 1,000 taels of silver: "Now I have also inquired, only our two families have white rice in the entire Yongxing City, as long as we unify the price, those hungry people can't help but eat rice, and we will make money at that time." Boss Zhao can properly raise the price of rice, if your family sells one or two silver and a catty, the hungry people may not buy it, if we all sell one or two silver and a catty, the hungry people have no choice, so they can only choose us. ”

Boss Zhao took the silver ticket and only said that he would think about it again.

Sure enough, another ship came the next day, and 3,000 catties of rice arrived.

Yuelai Rice Store carried away 2,000 catties, and Boss Zhao left 1,000 catties himself.

The next day, Min Jian came again, and Boss Zhao thought that Min Jian was buying rice, but Min Jian invited him to a place.

After sitting in the carriage for half an hour, I arrived at the Spring Flower Building.

Chunhualou is the largest green building in Yongxing City.

Here is Boss Zhao's favorite girl.

Boss Zhao relied on his father-in-law to make a fortune back then, and he didn't have much affection for his original wife, but after being rich and powerful, he liked to go to the Qinglou for recreation.

Who doesn't know the name of Boss Zhao in the girl in the Chunhua Building.

Min Jian was reluctant to go to this kind of place.

If he comes to this kind of place as an emperor, if he is discovered by the officials, he may not be able to leave his name in history.

The secret guard had already detected this habit of Boss Zhao. Du Zhiyan kept offering advice to Min Jian: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, if you want to fully gain the trust of Boss Zhao, then you have to have a good chat with him at the wine table." The kind of place in Chunhualou, Boss Zhao likes to go the most, and it is easy to talk about things there. ”

The emperor also twisted once: "When the emperor goes to that kind of place, outsiders know that my reputation is not guaranteed." ”

"No outsiders know, only the concubines know."

"How could anyone send the husband to the Qinglou. I always felt that something was wrong. ”

"Your Majesty, you can't give up your children and can't trap your wolves. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. ”

"Then I ......" The emperor was still a little hesitant.

Du Zhiyan has already pushed the emperor out.

Sure enough, when I arrived at Chunhua Building, Boss Zhao seemed to have come to the Daben Palace.

Hold the pot in your left hand and the cup in your right hand. The old bustard of Chunhualou quickly arranged a table of first-class wine and food, and called seven or eight girls to line up in a row, and the girl who was bright and bright saluted Boss Zhao, and Boss Zhao decisively hugged two in his arms.

This made Min Jian nervous.

Although he is the king of a country, he is really unfamiliar with this kind of fireworks land.

is inexperienced, and he is afraid that others will see that he is a big man with no experience, so he deliberately pretended to be arrogant, picked up the wine and wanted to compose a poem: "I want to go back by the wind, and I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu." ”

Girls, look at me, I'll look at you.

Boss Zhao sighed and put the wine glass on the table: "Fourth boss, you're a little disappointed, your butt is going to go back before it is hot, the silver is not spent in vain, this table is not cheap." ”

Min Jian took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and put it on the table: "I have covered everyone here tonight." ”

Sure enough, it's a rich son.

To make a shot is to be generous.

The girls happily gathered around Min Jian, and Min Jian's heart was pounding.

The women in the palace are generally more gentle, and there is a kind of beauty that wants to refuse and welcome.

The girl in Chunhualou is quite violent, and she has to drill into people's arms at every turn.

Min Jian had never seen this battle, and her ears were red.

"Look, the ears of the four bosses are red, so it can be seen that they haven't come to play, and they are still shy."

Min Jian poured a glass of wine to cover up: "Who said shy, I haven't seen any big scenes in this son, but I came here with Boss Zhao today, and I was happy and drank a few more glasses." Today I invited Boss Zhao to a banquet, and if you serve Boss Zhao well, I will naturally be rewarded. ”

Since this is the case, then Boss Zhao is not welcome.

Hugging left and right, the beauty is in the arms, who still remembers the dominatrix at home.

"Every time Boss Zhao comes to Chunhualou, he leaves in the middle of the night, can you not leave today." The girl asked.

"Isn't it my word to go or not?" Boss Zhao was proud.

"They all say that you are afraid of the lady at home."

"Who said nonsense that I knocked out his teeth, what is there to be afraid of Madame, Fourth Boss, are you afraid of Madame at home?"

Min Jian grinned and pretended to be prodigal: "Just a woman, what's so scary, I have always had the final say at home." ”

"That's a man. When will the dominatrix be able to control me, she dares to say a word more, and I hit her with gold stars in her eyes. ”

Before Boss Zhao's words fell, he heard a noise in the front hall, and after a while, the old bustard ran in panting: "Oh no, Boss Zhao, your wife came in with a maid, saying that I didn't see you return home in the middle of the night, I am sure you must be here, if you are searched, I am afraid that you will be wronged." ”

There was a rude female voice in the front hall: "The surname is Zhao, where are you dying, and you don't let the old lady climb out." Back then, you were so poor that you didn't have a pair of socks and almost froze to death on the street, it was my father who missed you and was pitiful, and received us as a buddy in the rice store, and when you became a man, you began to calculate me, and you calculated me to the end, you turned your face and didn't recognize people, and slept every day, surnamed Zhao, you wait for me to find you, and I will fight with you today. ”

I heard the sound of people going up the stairs, as if there were several people. It is estimated that Boss Zhao's wife is with a maid.

Boss Zhao's mind about drinking flower wine was half cold, so he threw away the girl and jumped down after opening the window.

Although the second floor is not high, there is a pond at the bottom.

Boss Zhao jumped down without hesitation for a second, hiding under a lotus leaf and not daring to move.

Mrs. Zhao went upstairs and searched around, but found nothing, and pinched Min Jian's collar and asked, "I don't look like a local, from out of town?" ”

"The shopkeeper of the Yuelai rice shop."

"It turns out that the surname Zhao said that the wronged boss is you, can you see the surname Zhao?"

"Which one is surnamed Zhao?" Min Jane pretended to be confused.

"Of course, it's the shopkeeper of Zhao Ji Rice Shop, I'm a father-in-law, are you two embarrassed to come together."

Min Jian shook his head: "Everyone is here, Madame will look for it herself." ”

Mrs. Zhao searched around, but found nothing, so she was so angry that she threw away the note in her hand: "Which one is a narrow ghost, write a letter to report the letter, saying that my father-in-law is here to have fun, and I will run for nothing." ”

After Mrs. Zhao left, Min Jian personally went to help Boss Zhao upstairs, Boss Zhao had already drunk several sips of water, changed his clothes and drank two glasses of wine to stabilize his mind: "That mother-in-law is too fierce, sooner or later I will have to divorce her." Thanks to the fourth boss, you are clever, otherwise I would have been exposed. ”

"When I first came to Baodi, I couldn't do anything, thanks to Boss Zhao's help, otherwise I wouldn't have any rice in my rice shop, how could I open it."

"The day after tomorrow, my ship can still transport a thousand catties of rice, and I won't sell it at that time, and I will send it to your Yuelai rice shop, still at the original price,"

That's what I want.

Min Jian said goodbye to Boss Zhao in the Spring Flower Building.

Boss Zhao was drunk and sang a little song and took his buddies home.

The guy on the middle of the road was worried: "Shopkeeper, there is no rice in our rice shop, and all the 1,000 catties that arrive the day after tomorrow are sold to the surname four?" The rice is all in his shop, so we have no business to do. ”

"What are you afraid of, anyway, the wronged boss is willing to give out the silver, I don't know which prodigal son in the capital is squandering Zuyin here."

"The surname is Zhao, you raised the price of rice, how many people starved to death, today I will eliminate harm for the people." Out of nowhere, two masked men rushed out, one kicked the guy over, and the other held down Boss Zhao to death.
