Chapter 30 Lack of food is not a shortage of beautiful girls
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
This "natural disaster" had a very bad impact on Jingnan Tiantongmen, because these "grain merchants" never thought that there would be a shortage of food in the southern market, and their own grain could not be unlucky because of Yun Mengze's change.
As mentioned in the previous document, this food stamp is a bank bill based on grain and credit, which is actually a kind of "bank" cashier's check that is paid at sight. Everyone can take the food stamps to the branches under the Tiantong Gate and exchange them for huàn grain according to the grain price they announced.
The price of grain in Tiantongmen is theoretically the "official pricing", which is the same as the foreign currency cash trading in the bank here, there are two kinds of buying and selling prices. The real grain market is based on a "black market price" that is different from this price.
In short, the purchase price of Tiantong is always lower than that in the market, and the opposite is higher than that of Huàn. In this way, even if they are doing grain trading, it is a sure profit, so why not?
Therefore, basically no one takes food stamps to exchange grain, preferring to go directly to the grain spot market to buy it, especially in the southern states where there is no shortage of grain. This is like a ranking official going to the bank to exchange huàn foreign currency, the same money can always be exchanged for a little more huàn from the black market, otherwise why go to the black market?
Of course, this pricing is instructive for the market, and it can also influence the "black market price" in a certain way. This is also one of the means by which Tiantongmen can dominate the grain market in Kyushu. It's just that Tiantongmen, which has a big family, now feels that manipulating grain prices to obtain benefits is a bit more than worth the loss.
After the food shortage, the taste became stronger.
The problem they encountered was that they did not have the food in stock, and the customers came with food stamps, but they could not get the food. If it's a small bank, it's going to go bankrupt right away. But the problem with Tiantongmen is not very big, because the food stamps are basically common in Kyushu, and even if they can't be mentioned here, the credit established over the years will not be immediately shattered.
But what Tiantongmen promises is to redeem the ticket at sight, and they have long realized that credit, and only credit is the foundation of Tiantongmen. If the customer is denied food, the impact will be too bad and even endangered. In desperation, they took the initiative to buy grain from local grain merchants.
What is the price according to what price? If the grain price is still set by Tiantong "talking to itself," which grain merchant is willing to do such a loss-making transaction?
Since ancient times, it has been necessary to have fists to serve on both sides, such as unified purchasing and sales, which can only be carried out under the iron fist of the dictatorship held by the government.
Besides, it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake, even if Tiantongmen is big, deep-rooted, and strong, can it sell it to you at the price you set when the price of grain is soaring?
Naturally, the grain can only be purchased according to the market price, and then slightly reduced the spread to the bearer. The result of this is the rapid depreciation of food stamps in Jingnan, and the rapid increase in grain prices, forming a vicious circle that makes Tieshan Tiantong complain.
The high-level of Tiantong's own gate must be looking for a remedy, the problem is that the previous document said, Yunmengze's change has greatly affected the Yangzhou grain road; the road from Liangzhou in the west is not to mention, and it is difficult; the only nearby Jingbei is also within the scope of the disaster, and the more heavenly instrument gate is worthy of being the old Eight Heavens Gate people, with a compassionate heart of high wind and bright festival, and that kind of fairy demeanor is not comparable to the profiteers in Tiantongmen. In order to prevent the people under their rule from worrying about hunger, their high-level officials ordered that not a single grain should flow out of Jingbei.
At this time, the high-level leaders of Tiantongmen could only admit that they were unlucky, and let Jingnan, the ** businessman, flutter for a while. But they also gritted their teeth secretly, and next year they will always have to find a way to get back to the field, so that these jumping clowns can eat and spit out. After all, they are wealthy businessmen at the level of the whole Kyushu, and Jingnan is just a local old hat in a remote corner.
But finally waited for Yun Mengze to sail during the New Year, and a group of "water thieves" appeared. These thieves who came from nowhere are not bad, and there are even innate masters among them.
At the same time, the existing people of Yangzhou in Tiantongmen actually waved grain stamps to buy surplus grain in the hands of local grain merchants in Yangzhou at this time when the grain price was at its lowest!
The situation in Jingnan is even worse, the grain market is already priceless, and even with their own food stamps, they cannot buy grain from local grain merchants.
Now, they couldn't sit still.
So the playboy, who was about to make amends to his wife, took over this glorious task and came to negotiate with his wife's family about how to deal with it. But until now, the real storyteller Tie family patriarch has not returned from Benmen, and the price of this grain is getting higher and higher day by day.
He also inquired, the Li Mountain, where the Li family is located, has always been protected by a magic circle, and the wind and rain are smooth in all seasons and will not be affected by this disaster. This Boss Li Prime Minister of the whole family's grain industry, as long as he finds a way to get the grain in his hands to survive the past few days, and when his father-in-law returns home, then he will be able to see the moon and the clouds. As long as you pay enough benefits to this iron family, you can always find a corresponding way. It's better than being helpless right now.
Therefore, the boss of Li dealt with it carefully and carefully, and this playboy also cleaned up his mood and replied politely; Miss Tiesan, who has always been arrogant, faced the life-saving benefactor, and she also put away her usual arrogance a little; plus the Hua sisters had a very good impression of the big brother of the Li family in front of them. For a while, the scene was very harmonious.
After the greetings, the two families took their seats. The formal banquets in this world are still divided into seats. Therefore, there is no seat, the left seat sits the two couples and their daughters, and the right seat sits the Li family father and son.
In a few moments, the dishes cooked by the master of the Heavenly Kitchen Pavilion were served. The price of grain in this city has skyrocketed, and the small people have not been able to get enough of it. However, this will naturally not affect the people in the field, not to mention that Boss Li has just received a gift of six or seven hundred square yuan stones, how can he be petty at this time?
This banquet is naturally delicacies from the mountains and seas, 6 mixed waters, delicious food and wine, and sweet liquor. Except for the lack of a group of silk bamboos, this family banquet is very decent.
Everyone chatted while eating, and after a few turns, they talked about Li Zisheng's marriage......
Ordinary people in this world generally marry early, and men are considered to be the legal age of marriage at the age of fifteen, and some women marry just after menarche. There are even some young men and women who are married, such as the young sister, Li Li's child daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law.
But the immortal family is different, their marriageable young people may be very early, and it is not uncommon for them to get married, but they are married and married, and the formal cave house is generally late. This is also because even if the children of the immortal family can't enter the innate realm, they can basically achieve the acquired cultivation. When you are in your teens, when you practice hard and make progress every day, how can you delay your cultivation for the sake of men and women?
And a lot of kung fu requires boys and girls with Yuan Yang and Yuan Yin to practice, once the body is broken, all the previous efforts will be lost, and no one will joke about the future of their children.
In the political marriage of a wealthy family, there is still a big problem. In fact, the political marriage does not necessarily cause the unhappiness of the emotional life of the husband and wife, if both parties are opened, each will pay its own way. These are all children from big families, and they are basically very "reasonable".
This kind of marriage requires the husband and wife to pay, and they are often just one heir. This makes women the ones who suffer. Because, when a female monk gives birth to a child, her cultivation will come to a halt at best, and at worst, her realm will regress, and the higher the level of cultivation, the stricter the loss of giving birth to a child.
The reason why Tie San Zhenren's combat power is weak is that in addition to her lack of actual combat experience, her innate realm Tianhe Realm was forced to go to the ground by relying on pills and foreign substances after giving birth to a girl.
Therefore, women with excellent qualifications in wealthy families are unwilling to marry early, even if they want to marry, it is a situation where there is no hope of breaking through the next level of realm, and they have lost confidence.
A large number of wealthy "saints" were born.
Another important reason is the status of men and women in marriage.
The divorce stream that you are used to seeing is actually not "new" at all.
This has an ancient version, in fact, it is Zhu Maichen in "Splashing Water in Front of the Horse", in the Yuan drama written by Anonymous, his old man was forced by his father-in-law and his wife to write a letter of resignation, and finally when he returned to his hometown to be a Taishou, he knew that it was his father-in-law who forced him to make progress, and at the same time they also funded their own entanglement in Shangluo, so it was good to abandon their previous suspicions and return again. However, there is not so harmony in the official history, and it is recorded in the "Book of Han" that Zhu Taishou instead took his down-and-out ex-wife and her stephusband to his mansion, and his ex-wife finally committed suicide in shame. Well, this canonical history reads as if his old man is as eager as our protagonists, but the means are much more clever.
Of course, what we see is that women hate "poor" and love "rich", and in the end, they are slapped in the face and are drawn by the protagonist, so that everyone is happy with the "happy ending".
The divorce stream is just this story, Xianxia and the Western fantasy version. The cool point of this bridge section has long been experienced by our ancestors, otherwise there would not be all kinds of favorite interpretations, until today. This also illustrates that even the new generation that grew up under the red flag...... and the new generation, the concept of marriage is still deeply ingrained in their minds.
But no matter whether it is old-fashioned or not, this type of story tells us a truth, even in the world of high magic and martial arts, the strength of the man cannot be too far behind the woman, whether it is personal or familial.
If a young couple and her husband have risen to become a qi refining immortal or even a refining immortal, then the wretched wife can only make everyone give a thumbs up and praise love and righteousness. But the reverse drama is not so commendable.
These reasons have been caused, such as non-essential political marriages, such as the two Huatie families. Wealthy women would rather recruit money!
Feelings aside, there are many benefits to doing so.
Not only can husband and wife support each other during their cultivation, even if the man will go straight to the ninth day in the future, he will remember his wife's dedication back then, and take care of the offspring of his wife's family in turn;
What's more, the woman does not have to be forced to conceive and give birth.
