1798 Episode 1815

"Forget it, let me go with you. I don't think you are familiar with this city. Let's go together. I'm still a magician. They should give me a face." Li Cong thought for a while. Said, although things in this mall are freely traded in this way, but now it is an extraordinary period. Everyone knows that the food in their hands will be a sky-high price for one day longer. Of course, these people are also betting. If the refugees outside the city rioted, not to mention that their food was exchanged for money, even their own value might not be left. As the new Jiang Ning weaving, Li Cong is not under his jurisdiction at all. Yes, he just needs to write down the situation here as a memorial and send it to the capital. Cao Zheng did the same thing in the past, but in Li Cong's view, the time for these walking and going is too long. Now, people around the capital can do that. How can you do it here? It’s been two months since I came back, so I don’t have to do anything. Besides, this is done with my own money, and it has nothing to do with the court. You don’t need to ask for instructions above, it’s just that others don’t have this scale when opening congee sheds, so your own scale is bigger.

Wu Liu heard that Li Cong went with him and nodded hurriedly. Indeed, when the original Jiang Ningcheng went out by himself, some wealthy old men also gave him face, of course, they were not giving face to himself. It is the face of the Cao family, but in this new city, the Cao family has not yet risen. Although the young master has taken over the position of the master, the deep-rooted relationships of the Cao family are gone. Everything needs to be started from scratch. Yes, my own Cao family’s steward is not so easy to use, and no one will look at myself or the Cao family’s face. In fact, at this time, the Cao’s family’s face is too bad compared to the master’s status as a magician. Far away, it is still useful to be a magician. Many people make way for you on the magic robe ship and on the street. This has nothing to do with any family power. This is also a lot of people who respect the magician.Because they are too few, each of them is a dragon and a phoenix.

The master and servants will go out now. Most people in this city already know the location of the grain store. In the past, no one thought that food would be so important. Now everyone knows it. Recently, The grain shops in the city sell limited amounts of food, and they are all thinking about making a fortune.It is as if the rice was still 20 cents per catty yesterday. Today it is not the price of yesterday.It has already risen by 10%, and it has reached 22 wen per catty. This kind of thing is expected to happen tomorrow. The owners of several grain shops have already discussed it. This will raise the price every day, but on the street They also hired a large number of people to spread the rumors. There is no food in any city, and the owner of the food store has nothing to do. Today, they can only sell part of it.Come and buy it tomorrow when it's shipped. Isn't this large number of people at the door of the grain store?

When Li Cong and Wu Liu arrived on this street, they could not get in. A large number of people were carrying money bags to buy food. It seems that this is really a serious matter. The owners of these food shops They are really lacking in quality one by one, but from the perspective of a businessman, their approach is understandable. It is absolutely impossible to buy food in this way.They would not sell the food to Li Cong. Li Cong also understood that they just want to make money, unless they can pay a sky-high price. In the past, Li Cong was definitely going to give them this money. These few.But when I see them being so despicable and shameless in order to make money, my heart feels uncomfortable, mother, I am thinking about how to save the people, and you are thinking about how to drink the blood of the people. Let you try it out. Try it.

"We don't buy food anymore. You can go back first. Let me see what's going on." Li Cong said in the second dialogue that Zheng Qing was still with Li Cong. Li Cong knew he was called this guy. He won't go back when he goes back, he always has to follow the individual by his side.

"Master, these food merchants are crazy. In the morning they said 22 liters are fine, but in the afternoon it is 25 liters. How can a family bear such a burden? As far as I know, the price they bought is less than 12 liters. Yes, they have doubled their profits now, and they don’t want to let go one by one.” Zheng Qing said from the news from a few people next to him, these guys are really hateful, and everyone is hungry. Dead, these grain merchants are still thinking about the dream of how to make a fortune one by one, if they didn't meet Li Cong, maybe they could really achieve it.

"What the government does, it doesn't care about these grain merchants." Li Cong suddenly said something when he saw the city guards maintaining order, but he laughed again quickly. They have been collusion between government and business since ancient times. They dare To do this, someone above naturally approved it.

"Master, don’t you know about this? I heard that the food for disaster relief from the imperial court has been cleaned up by these officials, large and small, but the imperial court comes with food and not money. What do they need so much grain for, and they don’t have so many people to eat, so they thought of this way, found these grain merchants, asked them to eat the grain, and then replaced it with silver. The price of the food is not low, and these food merchants will naturally not suffer. They also want to make a fortune. The officials have eaten their own food. There is no reason not to let these merchants mix up the soup. I don't care about this matter. If I'm full and I don't care about it, I haven't posted it in the future, right?" The news Zheng Qing received just now was bad, and he was very angry when he said this.

"These corrupt officials are really damned. We can't let these guys make this black-hearted money. We have put our own money away. Today I will be a good person. Give these guys a warning. Let's go. "Li Cong walked to a place where no one was there and flicked his magic robe and disappeared. After all, wearing this is too conspicuous. People on this street have to come and take a look. The things to be done down here are not what the magician should do, he should hide these clothes.

This Zheng Qing was originally a person who was not afraid of heaven and earth, even if Li Cong didn't care about this matter, he wanted to take care of it. If in the past, a seventh-level fighter would be a great person in a county, but now it is a city. Scale upgrade.The seventh-level fighter is nothing, he can only follow Li Cong, think of it alone?Let's rest first. Li Cong's two strong men and horses are naturally able to squeeze in. The people next to him watched that the two were not in line, and they wanted to say something.But seeing the ferocious look of these two men, let it go.Such a person can’t be offended by himself. It’s fine to say a few words less, and at most just wait a few more minutes. Could it be that these two guys used to be beaten by these two guys in the past? There are more people outside the store, and you are out of luck today, just you.

"Master, this Wu's grain shop is the largest grain shop in the city. The master of this family belongs to Fu Cheng's brother-in-law, who controls 10% of the entire city's food sources. This price increase is what they did. Now They are the ones who earn the most." Zheng Qing has done his homework on these things for a long time. When talking now, Li Cong looked at the very good grain store, damn it.So if you are rich and still behave like this, Lao Tzu is going to attack you today and show you a mass incident.

"Hey, I'll take this surgery today, come with me, and ask everyone to grab this place. If it really becomes chaotic later, you can fix the several city guards at the door first." Li Cong saw There are more than a dozen city guards at this gate to maintain order. These people are not even first-level fighters. For people like Zheng Qing, they really use a sledgehammer, even if the average family hires five. The first-level fighters are terrific. From here, Li is the attendant of the seventh-level fighters, which is much higher than others.

"I said what's the matter with you two. I have seen both of you several times, and I don't even see where this is. If I rely on my own strength, I will come to the front and roll me back." Seeing Li Cong standing in the middle and pointing at the door, a guy who was selling food said loudly, "Damn, I haven't gone to find your bad luck yet, you'll come here first, this** *A guy is so powerful, this boss must be used to being arrogant. Li Cong glanced at it and passed by with Zheng Qing happily.

"You seem to be substandard. When I came over from the Yamen side just now, it said that the price of food is not that high. Your side is half the price. It is offensive for you to sell food like this. Court punishment." Li Cong said, pointing to the price sign.

"Hey, I'm really looking for trouble today. I really don't know when the price of the food in our family is related to you. We want to sell for as much as we want. Look at where this place is, what is your identity, do you know who our boss is? Look at the city guard next to me, if you kid buy food, get me behind, if you don’t buy food, get out of here. , Otherwise, I’ll let you try what it’s like in the prison.” This guy looked at Cheng Jun with pride and said, although there are many food shops on this road, they are also the guards of the City Guard. This one, you people are so innocent, and if you really don’t know each other later, you will really taste it for your shop.

"Hehe, this little brother’s mouth is really stinky. Everyone, this grain shop is so cruel. These people don’t even know what they are doing. Isn’t it a clerk from a grain shop? Why are all the nostrils facing upward? This food of yours should have been sold for 15 cents. Today you have sold for 25 cents. You said you don’t know the court’s decree, it’s okay, I’ll tell You’re here, have you bought the food at the price I said in the future?” Li Cong said loudly with a smile, and everyone around him started to talk about it. In fact, they are also very dissatisfied with the price, but No way now, right?Everyone is a small commoner. The backstage of these food stores is very hard. A few days ago, an old man made trouble, and he was locked up and now he doesn't know what he is doing.

"What, mother, dare to make trouble here, the shopkeeper, these two guys don't buy food, but they still make trouble here." Although this guy said just now is very powerful, but he also knows that he is lighthearted and cannot be instructed. Those who moved the city guards moved out the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was a 40-year-old man, who looked like a profiteer, and looked at Li Cong and Zheng Qing.At first glance, I don’t have any impression in my mind. These two people should not be the children of the powerful. At most, they are mercenaries with a little ability. Recently, there have been more such people. If they are afraid of these people’s future business. There is no need to do it, the face is pulled down right now, shit.The forehand who counts money in the house is soft, shit.Two things like this are out of my mind, how can such things work?

"Hehe, our grain shops always price in this way. If you two are unwilling to buy, you can go to other people to check it out, but I guarantee that the prices in the whole city are the same. I think you two Someone with a bit of skill, I forgot to tell you, maybe you are a great in the Warcraft Mountains, but don’t forget. This is a city, I also admit that no one here can catch you two, and I don’t want to make trouble. But you have to think about it clearly. You can go after the trouble. What about your family? Can they also go. Can they all live in the Warcraft Mountains?" The shopkeeper said, these words are not the first Once I said, there were many mercenaries who came to make trouble in the past. The shopkeepers used to greet people like this. Generally speaking, it was very useful, that is, Pengda's kind of talent without housework is annoying.They don't care about things like this. Making trouble is the most important thing. They usually get out. They don't have such bad luck....

"Treasurer, I don’t seem to understand what you said. The threat to us here is very big, and I will tell you clearly. I am my own, this is mine. Brother, we’re just two of us. If you have the ability, send our brother in. If you don’t have the ability, I will buy food at the price set by the government today.” Li Cong said with a smile, and he handed a piece of iron when he spoke. The tool was bent, and this shopkeeper is also a knowledgeable person. It’s impossible for this kind of ability without the ability of a fifth-level fighter. Although there are more than a dozen city guards here, these people want to fight at the fifth level. It is also impossible for soldiers. Li Cong is definitely not something they can afford. It’s better to leave it alone at the moment. How much food they can buy, and they don’t look like rich people. Yes, those guys were eager to try to give Li Cong a little bit of power. In the past, they dealt with more people like this, and now they dare not get on any of them. Frightened these guys, can his bones be harder than that iron guy?impossible things.

"Um... this gentleman, everyone who comes out to mix is ​​friends. This is two hundred catties of rice. I don't think you need money anymore. There is nothing to collect for such a small amount of money. Make friends and meet me in the future. Please drink tea, two." The shopkeeper’s ability to change faces is also very powerful, pointing to the two big bags of rice at the door and saying, the people outside have seen this shopkeeper, and they know that the shopkeeper only needs to talk. I was scolding people at that time, either I was scolding the buddies or the people who bought food. Anyway, there is not a day when I am idle. Today, this smiling face is really rare. Several people saw Li Cong. They can get two hundred catties of rice without spending any money. They are envious of them one by one, but there is nothing we can do about it. People have the ability, we have no ability, so we can only continue to accept the shopkeeper. Two hundred catties of rice are also worth a few taels of silver. These people will surely count the money at a loss to the heads of ordinary people, thinking about this, all of them are crying and crying. , But the mood to watch the excitement is gone.

"0 catties of rice is really good. If our brothers eat it, it will definitely take a long time. But our family is not just our brothers. This 0 catty of rice may not be enough for us to eat, you see What should we do about this matter?" Li Cong said with a smile, and while speaking, he looked at the rice like a hill behind. It was obvious. 0 catties of rice is not our goal. We have a more ambitious goal. For example, for the rice behind you, the shopkeeper’s anger also came up, and he was already confessed. How could it be too much? Are you really muddy at home? You two are very powerful. Is the city guard you? Opponents, but in the city, apart from the ninth-level fighters who can run out, I haven't heard of the ninth-level fighters and below can run out. By then, the two of you will definitely have a hard time.

"Mr. Wu's food shop is not a soft persimmon to be slaughtered. If the two of you are willing to give our master a face, we will leave here with this 0 catty of rice. If we don't want to, we won't be able to tear our faces in the end. It’s so fun. This is the inner city. You two cannot go out even if you have great abilities. If you want to make trouble, you should weigh your own weight first.” The voice of the shopkeeper increased a lot when he spoke. At this time, the several city guards who were chatting next to each other felt that something was wrong with the door.It's not bad for them to come here. Two meals a day, good wine and good food, wait and see.Everyone still has 30 catties of rice every day. This is definitely enough for a family of four to eat and drink. The boss of this family is in trouble. If we don’t ask, we won’t be able to take anything from the boss. Isn't it?

"What's going on, what's going on? Shopkeeper Wu, is there someone trying to make trouble here? Tell them that there are still a lot of cells in our city's yamen. If these people don't want to live a good life. Say it. That's it." Several city guards said loudly. A few days ago, there were also gangsters who made trouble here. They obviously regarded Li Cong as a little gangster who made trouble. If they were really gangsters, they would be bothered. The sound is still very useful, but unfortunately this is not a gangster today, your two bluffing sounds have no effect at all.

"Two. Have you seen it clearly? The army master of the city guard is very clear. If you really feel too boring outside, you can really go in and try it. You don't have to worry about food inside. The food supply inside is okay. I just don’t know if your two brothers have the guts to go in and eat.” The shopkeeper said with a smile. In his opinion, the two guys in front of him must be The guard was frightened. If he didn't see this, he couldn't speak anymore. If he was really capable, how could he be frightened by both sentences?

"Haha, this is really collusion between the government and businessmen. I only heard that before, I saw it now. Friends, today I want to ask you how can you endure such high food prices? Going down, I encountered it today, and I simply eliminated the harm for the people. This food is theirs, but the food is also the foundation of our lives. These things cannot be made as profitable things. The court is already doing it. I have ordered to reprimand these unscrupulous businessmen. You don’t care about the life and death of the people, and the people naturally have no reason to take care of your life and death. I have robbed the food today." Li Cong took the shopkeeper at the door after he finished talking. Kicked away, and then Zheng Qing shot. A dozen city guards fell to the ground almost immediately. The people behind Li saw Li Cong carrying a sack of food and wine and went away. Seeing that there are indeed no city guards around, their money is at most enough to buy a few catties of grain. This family is waiting for a few meals. This is not a trivial matter, and each one is naturally not stupid. At this time, if you don’t do it, it will be invalidated. And just like these profiteers said, there will be more and more people in the city. If you don’t buy it, someone will buy it. I’m afraid you will take it. Money can't buy food, these guys may be able to realize these words, decapitation is also a future thing, and I followed this young man today.

With the first one, the second one will naturally appear. Soon a dozen people entered, one person and one bag came out. Li Cong saw that it is too slow to get in and out like this, at least there are There were hundreds of tons of grain. They couldn’t finish this grabbing method at night. The city guards had already arrived at that time. So Li Cong hit the door with one palm, and the whole house collapsed, although there were many The food was mixed with the trash, but the rest of the people took away these things more easily than before. This one is really good for everyone. Many people took the food and looked around. He immediately went home with his back on his back. The chaos began to spread from the Wu’s grain behavior center where Li was in to the surrounding grain shops. Many grain shop owners saw that something was wrong and immediately closed the door, but they just After closing the door, the door was opened directly, and then a refugee came in. He immediately shouted when he saw that there was food. The situation was the same. Many food merchants came in and pulled food and wine to run out. I don’t care about the guys who are blocking. If there are a few people, guys are still useful, but now there are dozens of people, hundreds of people, they will not go out even if they have the ability, this time is the easiest It's time for people to die, unless high-level fighters come out, otherwise ordinary people will naturally be left alone.Even people passing by joined this looting battle group.

"Master, you are really a talent. If this happens, every grain merchant on this street will lose a lot. Although it is not a big proportion compared to their huge grain reserves, these people can understand it. At the moment these losses are too boring and we will remember them. When we go to buy grain again, those who are timid will not dare to continue to store so much grain in the city." Zheng Qing has already strolled inside twice. .As long as he sees the two-point guy gaining the upper hand, he immediately educates these foxes and pretenders. It's really a joy to fight now.

"Hehe, what is this, as long as it can be played by anyone who has the ability, we will stop here today, and I will meet the owners of these food shops through this Dongfeng Master tomorrow. It depends on whether they are willing to sell at a loss, or whether they have to put it in their own hands and be robbed by these people." Li Cong said while looking at the chaotic street. Those who have seen him just now probably won’t know how to use prescriptions for a lifetime. Right.He is also a messenger, and it is a big deal.

Half an hour later, the city guards arrived at the fastest speed, but what they saw was a mess full of the yard. Many people had already gone home with their own food. No one wanted to stay. Here is waiting for people from the government to come and arrest them.Everyone is not a fool. Of course, everyone knows what to do. It takes a long time to learn good deeds. This bad deed is born.

Zheng Qing glanced at his master in surprise, how could this young master be a magician, first-class earl of the court.This is not a person who does this kind of thing. Seeing how happy this guy looks, this thing is probably not planned for a day or two. Although Zheng Qing's head is a bit clumsy, he can still see what happened today. After that, the owners of these grain shops will definitely be shaken.They don’t have a little bit of food in their hands. If they don’t get rid of them quickly, they will definitely be a time bomb in their hands. Now they can bring them profits, but if there is a riot, these things can If you want your own life, these ordinary people won't care about you, they only have food in their eyes.

Li never wanted to become the one who took a lot of money. Although it is possible to obtain a certain profit from buying and selling food, you must also know that this is not what you want. You want to get something like food. How can it be possible to double the profit? If this is the case, the people don’t want to live. Li Cong looked back at the chaotic grain street behind him. Today these losses may not necessarily bring any losses to these grain merchants. They have made a lot of money over time, but the psychological impact on them is very serious. I will come to my door tomorrow to talk to them about the food issue, and I believe they will give them a reasonable price one by one. So Li Cong took Zheng Qing back.

Just returned to the Wizards’ Guild, Li Cong hadn’t sat down yet. The branch president came. This guy is a local snake. The Wu’s grain shop also has shares in this guy. He naturally knows what weight Li Cong is. People, this little food shop wants to work against other magicians. Doesn’t this head want it? That major shareholder doesn’t want it, but he wants it. If it doesn’t, he will withdraw from there. Wu Liu knew that Li Cong was in need of grain recently, so he came to talk to Li Cong. What he meant was that he could sell grain to Li Cong, or even give it away.When he withdrew from the stock, he didn’t ask for money. What he wanted was for food. The boss of Wu’s grain shop also knew the background of this guy. Of course, he didn’t dare to give him the current food price. 10% of the shares, according to the original food prices to this kid is not a big amount.

"Hehe, this thing is really a family that doesn't know the family. The flood has rushed into the Dragon King Temple. If I knew that this Wu's grain shop had something to do with you, I wouldn't find this one to do it." Li Cong laughed a little bit embarrassed. The president of this family was busy with you, but I didn’t expect it to be such a result in the end. This thing is really not very good, even if Li Cong’s face is very thick. , But when facing people, I always feel uncomfortable. If you don’t withdraw your shares, you can make a lot of money at once, but it’s all gone.

"Master Cao's words are not right. In fact, I am also very ignorant of the behavior of those profiteers. If this is not the case, I will withdraw from them. These things are not my management. If I had known that there were I would definitely not want to do this thing. These people also fell out with me and didn’t give me money at all. They directly gave me 300,000 tons of rice. This guy made it. In which year will I eat Before I can finish eating these things, I know that Mrs. Cao’s mother is opening a porridge shed recently. I also support this charity work, so I donate the rice in my own name. What do you think?" He said with a smile, this guy actually wanted to donate the rice in his hand. 300,000 tons is definitely not a small figure. According to the current calculation of 25 cents per catty, one kilogram is 50 cents, which is 00 catties. It's only one ton. One hundred thousand yuan is one hundred taels of silver, and 300,000 tons is 30 million taels of silver. On the one hand, Li Cong was surprised by the generosity of the branch president.On the other hand, this Wu’s grain shop can actually do so much business. The 300,000 tons of rice is quite a lot. The total number of refugees inside and outside the city is only 6 to 7 million. On average, everyone has. With a few hundred catties of grain, they can definitely spend this year. The Wu's grain shop and other grain shops are hoarding so much grain, it seems they are not looking at these people outside the city.Also, hundreds of millions of people in the southern provinces have only come here, and there are many more behind.

"That's not good. Although I don't know how much the president's net worth is, I also know whether the money should be a small amount, the president. You can't ask you to pay this money, you can donate a part of it. I don’t know exactly how many cash tickets are in this box, but you must get it, otherwise I won’t be able to use your food at all, and I also hope that the president can help me find some people. Maybe I came out with my mouth. What do you think about this? Why don't I jointly establish a charity foundation with the chairman, so that the wealthy businessmen in the city can contribute a little. After this, more and more refugees will come to Jiangningcheng. Yes, their settlement is not something that these 300,000 tons of rice can solve, and it will continue for a long time in the future. This is a long-term thing, not something that the two of us can do." Li Cong thought about it and said. , There should be more than 20 million in this box. I can’t let people suffer such a big loss. I can do this. I don’t have the intention of charity. If I really accept it. The guild leader's heart must have been pierced, and it might happen again in the future.

In fact, when the president said this, his heart was very uncomfortable. The 300,000 tons of rice is thirty thousand taels of silver, not three hundred thousand and three million. Although this guy’s family is also rich, but The amount of funds he can control is this amount. This Wu’s grain business is not his small business, but actually a big business of this guy. It can be said that it is the root of this guy. This time the withdrawal is already The loss was not small, but seeing what Li Cong said so resolutely, he agreed to follow the boat. Li Cong is still very satisfied with the choice of this person. Li Cong has always been your respect for me. I Respect you, the sacrifices made by this guy will soon be reciprocated, and Li will never owe others such favors.

"That's it, President, you have lost the business of this grain shop, and I know you will lose some, but don't worry, I will give you another batch of the medicines I gave you last time, and the price is still higher. Second price." Li Cong said when he left the house, this guy is so happy, what a joke, his hard work will be repaid so soon?It’s a big surprise. Last time I bought something like Zhixue San only a few hundred thousand silver, but now it’s two hundred thousand, and my profits have gone up. Even though I lost some thirty thousand taels of silver when I withdrew my shares. A million taels of silver, but in a flash, Li could earn a lot from the pills he gave him, maybe even more than his net worth in the future. This guy said a few more words, he will go out with Wu Liu Discussed the organization of personnel to open the porridge shed.

"Bai Er, you go talk to Boss Cui and ask her to go out to be the supervisor. It will take some time before the establishment of Cao's family firm. During this time, ask her to manage this congee shed. Pick some guards and follow him. Let me see. This guy’s abilities." Li Cong suddenly thought of Boss Cui. He promised to give this guy a chance. You must not break his promise, but you have to see if this guy has real abilities, if you don’t have real abilities. , I have to take it back when I say it. Cao's house is a very important thing in the future, and it must not be messed up.

The inner city and the root of the southern city wall. When there was no animal tide, this was a slum area, so no one came. At that time, the people who lived here had the sky and the land. The land here was basically No one wants it. You want to be wherever you want. Unfortunately, the land is now incredible. Since a large number of refugees have entered the city, the residents inside have felt uncomfortable. Sometimes it’s always empty when you get up. Going to the intersection and begging for food can always fill your stomach, but now, what’s there?There is nothing left at all, and no one will give you money, because there are too many to give. There are hundreds of thousands of refugees now. Apart from the government officials sent a large number of officials to look at them. There is no other action besides, they don't care about the life and death of these people at all, what they want is to keep these people from making trouble.

This morning is the same as before. It is not a good weather, but the people here are already up. They are all looking at the large row of sheds in front of a place near the junction, which is said to be some weaving house in the city. The old man is going to open a porridge shed. I haven’t eaten seriously for a few days. Good fellow, I couldn’t even think of it before. Now there are still people who open the porridge shed. Old people living here. I also often see people opening porridge sheds, but after a large number of outsiders flooded in here, there are no more porridge shops. Everyone is not a fool. In the past, there were so many thousands of people. That is to say, the matter of bai ten taels of silver is now different from before. If this is the person who runs the porridge market, it is not that simple. Spending money is not a matter, and the most important thing is safety. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation...)
