It was not so easy for Zhu Congwen to quietly embezzle the grain from the two granaries of the Zhu family. As soon as he moved, the second uncle of the Zhu family knew about it, and when he learned that his nephew had moved two granaries, the whole person was shocked.

Zhu Congwen's speed was very fast, and when Second Uncle Zhu rushed over, the granary had basically been emptied.

"Cong Wen, what are you doing here?"

As soon as Zhu Congwen saw his second uncle coming, he quickly pulled the person aside and explained, but he still didn't say that he had found a gold mine in someone else's territory, and he was trying to make that gold mine his own. It is only said that a business opportunity has been found, and it is a profitable deal.

When Second Uncle Zhu heard this, he intuitively felt that his nephew had been deceived?

"Second uncle, although my nephew doesn't have any skills, but he is not such a pretentious person, he knows how many catties and taels he has, if it weren't for this opportunity is really good, my nephew wouldn't dare to borrow 200,000 taels to do it. Second uncle, you will believe me once. ”

When Second Uncle Zhu heard this, he thought about it, his nephew was indeed as he said, he had never been like this before. Perhaps, as his nephew said, he found a profitable deal?

And Second Uncle Zhu felt that no matter what kind of business it was, he might lose a little bit in a month, and no matter how he did, he would not lose 200,000 taels. It's a big deal that when the redemption time is up, and the nephew can't take out 200,000 taels, he will make up for it and redeem the grain.

Second Uncle Zhu persuaded himself like this, but he still wanted to persuade his nephew, "Cong Wen, the price of this grain is obviously still rising, we can make money by guarding the grain, if we can not toss, we will not toss." ”

The grain was mortgaged and exchanged for 200,000 taels, which was obviously a loss.

Now the other big families in the south are very angry with their Zhu family.

Zhu Congwen thought to himself, joke, it's true that food prices are rising, but the speed of the rise can be compared to the speed at which he digs gold in the gold mine? Moreover, he will redeem the grain within a month, and the part of the premium of the grain increase at that time will still be part of their Zhu family. He's going to eat both!

"Second uncle, you can rest assured. Don't tell the old man about this, I'm going to surprise him and let him see what his son is doing. ”

……

Xie Zhan ticked off the plans that had already been completed.

He has been paying attention to Zhu Congwen's movements, and when he found out that Zhu Congwen had used the grain from the two granaries of the Zhu family in order to get the 200,000 taels, his brows frowned slightly.

After a check, I learned that Ji Wuyin had returned to the south.

At Ji Wuyin's level, his whereabouts have always been kept secret.

If it weren't for the fact that Ji's business name was related to his plan, if it weren't for his heart, he had been paying attention to it, and ordinary people wouldn't have noticed that Ji Wuyin secretly went to Liaodong County.

Xie Zhan sensed that something was wrong, and after digging deeper, he discovered the relationship between Ji Wuyin and Xue Xu.

This discovery is both accidental and inevitable.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

The people he had sent to Liaodong County before had been collecting information on the Lu family's father and daughter.

Xue Xu is not compatible with the Lu family's father and daughter, as if he came out of nowhere. And he appeared after Lu Desheng was released, and as soon as he appeared, he was the master of Hou Cheng. This person's identity is obviously not simple.

Xue Xu's identity is not difficult to check.

Among the personnel in charge of Xie Zhan's intelligence collection was the old man of the Chen family, and after he had suspicions, he sent the old man to Liaodong County, and the old man of the Chen family recognized Xue Xu as Xue Guangxian before them.

He chose to start the plan when Ji Wuyin went north, firstly, because the time had come, and secondly, he wanted to take advantage of his unpreparedness and drag him in.

Of course, in his plan, Ji's business was not in the range of prey he had to hunt. But if the Ji firm is stupid and let him seize the opportunity, he will not be relentless.

Now it seems that ginger is still old and spicy. Ji Wuyin can be the richest man in the south, and he is obviously more cautious than his eldest son.

Xie Zhan couldn't help but regret in his heart, it would be good if Ji Wuyin came back two days late.

However, since Ji Wuyin didn't find a loophole on his body, he put it aside first, and he came back, and it wasn't that there was nothing to exploit.

Xie Zhan's eyes rolled, he took the pen and slowly added a stroke to his plan.

At this time, Xie Zhan was working hard to make a cake, but he didn't know that someone had secretly eaten a piece.

Liaodong County, Houcheng, Yang's iron shop

In the big blacksmith room, all seven or eight doors were open, and several stoves were burning.

On a hot day, Xiao Yang's blacksmith was shirtless, holding a hammer, striking, and sweating dripping down.

The few apprentices he brought with him, like him, did not dare to slack off.

After a short break, he came to the courtyard, shook a bucket of well water, scooped a spoonful, and was about to raise his head to drink.

But he was slapped away by the old Yang blacksmith who came in from outside, "Don't drink well water!" Isn't there herbal tea next to it? ”

"Dad, it's cool to drink well water this day." The iron is too hot, and there is nothing more to quench your thirst than a bowl of well water when you come out of the iron room.

Old Yang blacksmith glared at him, and he put down the scoop in a daze.

In the past, he drank well water directly, but after coming to Houcheng, his father listened to Houcheng's propaganda, saying that there were insects and viruses in the water that they couldn't see with the naked eye, and called on them to boil the water and drink it, not raw water.

At first, some believed, some didn't.

Until the shop of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce opened again, this time people stopped selling cheap grain, and instead sold a kind of pagoda candy, saying that it could cure the worms in the child's stomach.

It is said that anyone who has any of the following symptoms can buy it and try it. For example, the child is emaciated for a long time, irritable, has no appetite, often vomits, itchy skin, grinds teeth when sleeping, often has pain around the navel, and sometimes suddenly cramps in the right upper abdomen. You can buy it for your children to eat, and the price is not expensive, one penny.

Sugar that can cure insects, a piece of sugar is a penny, and it is indeed not expensive. Going to the medicine hall to grab the side medicine is far more expensive than this.

Recently, there have been many opportunities for Hou Cheng to work, and many people who are willing to endure hardships have earned money. Even if there is no money to be made, the vibrant scene of Houcheng does not make the people feel that their livelihood is difficult. Besides, this is a matter of children, and many people are willing to pay a penny to buy a pagoda pond.

When they bought it, they found that this pagoda candy was also restricted, and if they wanted to buy pagoda candy to deworm the children, they could, take the household registration book and use the children's quota above to buy it. Want to buy it for a relative? It's okay, but the price is different, and those who are not registered in Liaodong County will be five cents a piece.

The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce explained that this pagoda candy was sold for a penny, and they gave it to their fellow villagers at a loss. But if you sell it to someone else, you will definitely make money.

With the last cheap grain base, as soon as this pagoda candy is touched by the upper limit of purchase, the people subconsciously feel that this is a good thing.

Especially after the effect came out, it deepened their understanding even more.

The first batch of people who bought pagoda candy gave the candy to the children casually.

The insect repellent effect of this pagoda candy is also very good.

The next day, there were many children crying and shouting for adults. The adults were also stunned when they saw the effect. Then while helping the children deal with it, they exchanged and sighed at the effect of this pagoda candy.

Then, many people rushed to buy medicine with their household registration books.

Thinking of some pictures, Xiao Yang blacksmith silently picked up a bowl of cold tea next to him and drank it tons.

Then he saw the things his father had brought in and put at his feet, and the blacksmith asked, "Do you want something over there?" ”

"Yes."

"Every day, there is no stop." Blacksmith Yang muttered.

After coming to Hou Ping, I had a good time at the beginning. I don't know how, how come there is an endless amount of iron? The things asked by the other party are still fine, and he can't completely hand them over to the apprentice, he has to keep an eye on the key points, and sometimes he has to do it himself.

"What are you muttering?" Old Yang blacksmith glared at him, this melon baby is too disrespectful to his parents.

Forced by his father's obscenity, Xiao Yang blacksmith hurriedly said, "I didn't mutter anything!" Dad, I'll get the things, and make sure to get them ready and send them over as soon as possible. ”

Old Yang Blacksmith was finally satisfied.

Xiao Yang blacksmith looked at the rolling core, gear, and bearing parts of the threshing machine, and secretly said in his heart, fortunately, this thing is not difficult to beat, otherwise it will kill him if he gets such a large piece of fine gadget.

So he shouted, "Little ones, get to work!" ”
