Hearing Cheng Shui ask this, most of the people fell into deep thought, only Old Man Cheng touched his beard with relief.

The caravan of the Li family is different from other places, as a family, one must have a vision, be able to see for a long time, and have a good heart. Only then do you know what kind of goods and specialties you should choose. Second, you must be bold, and you will be disturbed by others, and there is no way to control the head of the family.

It is also because of Cheng Shui's sale of grain at the beginning, he was bold and straightforward, and the timing was just right as if he had leaked the heavenly opportunity, so Old Man Cheng overwhelmed everyone and persuaded Cheng Shui to take the position, he felt that these two things were innate, Cheng Shui had such a talent, and others couldn't compare with how they studied.

Li Fan sighed: "There is still grain in stock this year, if the drought continues next year, I am afraid that the landlord's family will not be able to open the pot." ”

"People who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries, and everyone must know it in their hearts. This year, there is obviously no harvest, but Shilong Town has suddenly gathered so much grain, is it a good thing or a bad thing? Cheng Shui said meaningfully.

It's a pity that only Zhao Yannian and Old Man Cheng saw that something was wrong, but the two glanced at each other, and no one made a sound.

Cheng Shui didn't bother to explain, and said to Li Fan: "Leave the basic money, and the rest and the money earned from selling tofu in the back will be exchanged for grain for me." ”

This is an order, not a consultation.

Li Fan frowned, reluctant to do so. According to his idea, the food is enough, and it is naturally convenient to exchange it for money. But he also knew that the new official took office with three fires, and the head of the family did not mean to refute him.

As for the others, at this time, they also suppressed their doubts in their hearts and did not dare to speak out, and the matter was settled.

When he left in the evening, Cheng Shui left Cheng Er in the village and asked him to teach the children of the Li family to make tofu first, and let Cheng Da come to replace him tomorrow.

Li Sandao patted his chest and promised that he would take good care of the two brothers.

……

At night, Cheng's secret room.

Old Man Cheng sat opposite Zhao Yannian. Although the two of them are not surnamed Li, they both attach great importance to the Li family and take the affairs of the Li family to heart.

Zhao Yannian poured tea for the two: "Master Cheng, just like this, you can rest assured that all the rights are in the hands of an old woman?" ”

"Cheng Ya is smart, if I still have any doubts before today, just look at her performance today, soft and strong, you can know that I didn't choose the wrong person." Old man Cheng sincerely approves.

"It's a natural superior." Zhao Yannian also sighed.

"Visionary and decisive. As long as she satisfies these two items, I am already gratified. "Old man Cheng is very optimistic about Cheng Shui.

"There is another one, people are kind and righteous." Zhao Yannian added.

There is a way that is different and does not conspire with each other, Grandfather Li is benevolent, and he is attracted, whether it is Li Sandao or Li Shopkeeper, as well as everyone in the Li family, regardless of the surname of men and women, they can gather together, they are all people with faith in their hearts.

Because of this, Cheng Shui was recommended as the head of the Li family, which seemed incredible to outsiders, and only the Li family could be so tolerant.

The Li family recommends the right people, capable people, and trusted people.

The two sighed, and there were also two people gossiping.

Respectfully sending off the new head of the family, Li Fan returned to the hall just now and said to Li Sandao: "Are you selling yourself for this one?" ”

Li Sandao sat down heroically and picked up a pot of wine, it was rare to drink a glass, how could he not cherish it.

"I'm a big old man, and I don't understand your twists and turns. I think it's good to teach the brothers a craft and give everyone a way to live. ”

"Having said that, she is also too arbitrary, which of this business is not a slow plan, there is a lot of discussion." Li Fan was still a little unhappy.

"You can pull it down, it's just that you're too grinding to catch up with the rise in food prices." Li Sandao drank a pot of wine before looking at Li Fan: "If you want me to say, our Li Da shopkeeper, don't think about it." We will follow the wise people, and we will not be wrong. ”

Li Fan shook his hand hatefully: "It's easy to say, smart people are not necessarily right, we have hundreds of people up and down, if something goes wrong, it will be a failure." After that, he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.

......

Shilong Town, Fengjia Hall.

I saw three men in brocade robes sitting together, and the table was full of delicacies.

A few people came and went, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the head of the Feng family got up: "The two of you came from afar, please forgive me for not taking care of the place." ”

"Hey, why should the Feng family master be polite, we are fated, we can join forces at this time to discuss the plan, but it all depends on the righteousness of the Feng family master." One of the men with no white beard said.

"What Chang Jinsheng said is reasonable, the head of the family should sit down and tell us how to do this now?" Liang Jiefu asked.

It turned out that the three people at this banquet were several grain merchants who had been eager to sell grain recently.

Seeing that the two were sought after, the Feng family master was a little proud. This kind of thing is not uncommon in him to join forces to monopolize, and he has played very beautifully in the past, and this time is of course no exception.

Chang Jinsheng smiled and toasted, he came from the second prince's family, and he shouldn't have been a villain to a businessman.

But there was a turn of events, and he was ordered to secretly transport grain to Shilong Town to sell it and help His Highness accumulate silver money. He was careful and did not slack off along the way, but when he arrived in Shilong Town, he found that there was a team of grain merchants coming.

Things are scarce and expensive, and food is cheap. As a last resort, in order to sell grain at a high price, he had no choice but to show favor to the local snake and join forces with other grain merchants under the arrangement of the Feng family.

Unlike Chang Jinsheng, Liang Jiefu obviously knows more about the situation in Shilong Town, his family is one of the most famous wealthy families in Zengcheng, often travels to Shilong Town, and has cooperated with the Feng family for many years. This time, the grain was transported from Zengcheng, and it was also because of the Feng family's ventilation.

I thought I could make a lot of money, but I didn't expect that the time would not treat people, and the price of food would be very different if it was a little later.

The head of the Feng family took the lead and said: "Let's unify the price first, such as 3,000 stones?" After he finished speaking tentatively, seeing that the two did not refute, he said: "Then we can let out the wind, and say that the Taoist on Huanglian Mountain looks at the sky at night and says that there is probably still a great drought next year, and those stupid and stupid people will definitely be suspicious and panicked." As long as we have doubts, we will hoard food, and we can sit back and wait. ”

Liang Jiefu felt that this plan was very good, and couldn't help but applaud.

Chang Jinsheng was secretly uneasy in his heart: "Who is this Taoist on Huanglian Mountain?" Will the people believe him? ”

"Brother Chang doesn't know that the people here in Shilong Town are quite superstitious, because there is an old man who is called an old fairy when he is too old. What's more, the Taoist temple on Huanglian Mountain has been around for a hundred years, and the old Taoist has some roots with me, and what he said is even more convincing. ”

"That's good, that's good." Chang Jinsheng put his mind at ease and toasted another glass with a smile on his face.

Seeing him like this, the head of the Feng family and Liang Jiefu glanced at each other and knew it. This man has an extraordinary background, but there is nothing terrible about it, and he is very easy to talk to.

The three of them smiled and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
