Chapter 251: Spring is coming
The gates of Kaiju City were closed for a whole month,
For the first fifteen days of the month, it was peaceful, but from the sixteenth day onwards the people of the city began to gather in the crowd to make trouble.
There is only one reason for the trouble,
They can't buy rice anymore!
The big millet shops in the city all declared that there was no rice noodles!
Of course, there are polished rice and white flour, but coarse grains and brown rice are out of stock.
This has no effect on those who can afford to eat white rice and white noodles, but such families are only a minority.
For most families in Kaiju City, coarse grains and brown rice are their main foods.
Now that whole grains and brown rice are not available, what are they allowed to eat?
The rice shop refused to sell the white flour as coarse grain.
When he heard the news, the first thing that came to mind of King Kaizhou was the Huwei Army.
There are so many rice shops without goods at the same time, if there is no Huwei army to make trouble from it, the age of King Kaizhou will be in vain.
He asked people to inquire about the rice shops, but the rice shops flatly denied that they had sold the grain to the army.
"No, it's just that the grain is sold out, and the new grain can't be shipped in, so we will run out of stock."
"What kind of army, there is no army to buy food from us."
"Our grain is sold for a few catties, and at most we only buy twenty or thirty catties, how can any army buy grain like this."
"It's true that there were a few days when business in the shop was very good, and people who came to buy food lined up, but isn't this normal?"
After some investigation, King Kaizhou understood.
It is true that the Huwei Army did not buy military rations in large quantities, they came to buy them in batches, and they didn't even count as "batches", those called Huazi, one by one, took turns to buy grain, each person bought one or twenty catties, one thousand people is ten thousand catties, and three thousand people are thirty thousand catties!
Thinking that all the money used to buy grain was snatched from his palace, King Kaizhou trembled with anger.
He didn't believe that so many people, so much food, would disappear into thin air in the city.
But for so many days, the search in the city never stopped, but nothing was found.
It wasn't until the king of Kaizhou received the news that the Huwei army was fighting against the exile army two hundred miles away, that he ordered the city gate to be opened.
King Kaizhou couldn't understand how so many people called Hanako got out of the city when the city gate was obviously closed.
And,Called Hanako also brought a lot of thingsγ
Speaking of this, King Kaizhou was even more angry.
He was still looking for someone, but they were already two hundred miles away.
King Kaizhou was exhausted and couldn't afford to get sick.
Heimei is fighting, it's just a group of more than 2,000 wanderers, and they were beaten to pieces without effort, the boss cut it down, and all of them who haven't escaped have been absorbed.
Hongdou rushed over: "Kaizhou City has opened the city gate!" β
Hei Mei blinked, King Kaizhou was really stingy, in order to catch him, the city gate was closed for a whole month, but fortunately, he had already prepared.
Chidali is a local snake, as early as ten years ago in the city found a tunnel out of the city, and then continued to expand on this original tunnel, to now, is a very mature tunnel.
The black girl won the gold, won the battle again, and was in a good mood to fly.
But there was another thing that made him both happy and worried.
The number of the Tiger Army has increased again, and now there are 200,000!
It's spring, everything is recovering, and there are many beggars and brothers coming from all directions.
At that time, he ordered the beggar gang to gather in Nanyang, but there were too many people in the beggar gang and they were too scattered.
When he gave an order, it could only be transmitted within a thousand miles in a short period of time, and the beggar brothers thousands of miles away, even thousands of miles away, could only be handed over to time.
Therefore, the beggars in some places did not receive the news until last year, and hurriedly sent people over, and when they arrived in Yudi, it was already now.
The more people there are, the more powerful the troops, and the more money you have to spend.
Hei Mei sighed, the military expenses contributed by the King of Kaizhou are also limited, and they will always be spent.
What happens after I finish spending?
You can't just snort at a sheep.
The king of Kaizhou has already made him bald, and he will have to raise it for a while before he can continue to do so.
What if he can't wait for the king of Kaizhou to grow new wool, and he is short of money on his side?
Heimei really wanted to ask He Ran how she did it.
There is another thing, Hei Mei also wants to ask He Ran, but she is a little embarrassed.
That's the Hung Tower.
Hei Mei found that it is not possible to make money by building a good building, such as the Jinghong Building in Nanyang, which has been open for a year, but it is still losing money, and there is no way to make money.
But obviously it shouldn't be like this, none of the Jinghong Towers he has seen are not profitable.
But why can he only lose money when he opened the Jinghong Building?
The white dog reminded: "Don't forget, Jinghonglou is also doing other business. β
Others may not know what other businesses Jinghonglou is doing, but Heimei, who is the leader of the beggar gang, does.
Jinghong Building, it is better to call it the news building, the biggest news seller on the rivers and lakes is Jinghong Building.
The white dog said: "Why don't we sell the news too, I heard that the news is valuable, the little four from Qingzhou, he said that they have a restaurant owner there, and they spent three thousand taels to buy the news from Jinghong Building." β
Hei Mei hurriedly asked, "Three thousand taels?" What news to buy? β
"The husband of the proprietress is a son-in-law, and the old boy hid from his wife and raised an outer room. But the outer room was hidden, and the proprietress suspected that the old boy had two hearts, but there was no evidence, so she spent money to find Jinghong Building. White Dog said.
The corners of Hei Mei's mouth twitched: "This kind of trivial matter, Jinghonglou will also take it?" β
"Why don't you take it, of course you take it, three thousand taels, who will have trouble with money?" White Dog said.
Heimei: "Then what happened, did Jinghonglou find the outer room?" β
White Dog: "Of course I found it!" Guess what, fortunately, this matter was handed over to Jinghonglou, otherwise the proprietress would not be able to find out in a few years. β
Seeing that the white dog wanted to sell Guanzi, the black girl kicked him: "Tell me quickly, how did you find it?" β
The white dog laughed: "That old boy is shameless enough, he was worried about revealing his stuffing, so he let the outer room marry his disabled eldest brother with the child and become his sister-in-law."
Outsiders thought that the eldest brother was disabled and couldn't marry a yellow flower girl, so he had to marry a widow.
When they got married, the proprietress also gave out money, and occasionally saw the outer room, and called her sister-in-law. β
Hei Mei was dumbfounded when she heard it: "Shameless, this is too shameless!" Oh my God, my ears are dirty, I'm going to wash my ears. β
After thinking about it, he said: "Such a shameless thing, Jinghonglou can also find out, and it is shameless enough." However, three thousand taels of silver is still worth it. β
The white dog asked, "Do you want to make this kind of money too?" β
Hei Mei frowned: "Do we have such a capable person?" β
White Dog: "There are capable people, but they can only make this kind of small money, if it is something else, I'm afraid it won't work, then Jinghonglou has been in business for decades, and over the years, it is enough for them to put a few batches of eyeliner in those high-ranking households."
