Good Fortune Dictionary

I thought it was an invitation from the city lord and the others to ask for some money, but now it seems that it is obviously not the case.

They had never seen Wang Feng's figure before, and he was not a local.

The same is true for the accent, even the guards don't speak the local accent, but the accent from Jinling.

As a rich man in Mingling City, he is also one of the most knowledgeable people in the city. This rich businessman has been to Jinling and stayed there for a while. Otherwise, he has money there and can become one of the richest men in the city. .

"Who are you, tell me your name." Wang Feng glanced at the wealthy businessman and asked very contemptuously.

"Xuemin Xia, the locals of Mingling City, if your lord has any request, as long as you say it, I can do it, and directly solve your problems." Pang Xuemin replied with a serious and sincere face.

"Oh, yes, yes, you are very good at being a man." Wang Feng first praised him, and then slowly expressed his request.

His request is simple, that is food.

It is Wang Feng's request to hand over [-]% of the grain in their warehouse.

After Wang Feng finished his request, all the wealthy businessmen present quit.

You know, what is the most expensive in Mingzhou.

Not real estate, not gold and silver, but food.

Maybe it's better in Mingling City, but after going deep into Mingzhou, you will find that the price of grain is more valuable than silver and gold, and even the price of grain is increasing every day.

Because of the rebellion, spring plowing has been delayed, and even a large number of spring plowing fields have been destroyed due to the war.

This also indicates that there will be no food to be produced in autumn.

At that time, many people will starve to death.

Therefore, those who had a way to leave Mingzhou began to leave.

And what can't leave is the crazy hoarding of food.

As businessmen, of course they want to make a fortune. They have accumulated a large amount of grain in their hands, and even other states buy grain, and then pile it up, preparing to sell it at a high price when the time comes. If it is done well, their family fortune can be doubled. ,even more.

Of course, these things need to be protected by people. If no one protects them, all their food will be directly robbed by people.

Now, Wang Feng actually wanted [-]% of their food, and it seemed that he didn't plan to pay for it, so naturally he wouldn't do it.

"My lord, your appetite is too big."

"Yes, even His Majesty today can't force us to hand over [-]% of the food. This is robbery."

"No, absolutely not, I won't give you any food."

The wealthy businessmen who were filled with righteous indignation began to protest together, and even wanted to leave here, go back outside, find their bodyguards, and protect them.

Unfortunately, what they met was Wang Feng.

A boy who just became an imperial envoy, let alone not a local.

Regarding the meaning of these wealthy businessmen, they had no intention of asking at all, but directly set the tone.

If you complete what he asks, you can live, if you can't, you can die directly.

In extraordinary times, nature behaves extremely.

Wang Feng knows a lot of historical allusions.

Wang Feng stood about five steps away from the door, silently looking at the rich merchants in the business mansion.

There was no answer to their clamor and opposition, just watching them silently, as if looking at a group of dead people.

Slowly, some wealthy businessmen realized that something was wrong, and quickly calmed down, and even retreated a little, allowing those wealthy businessmen who hadn't noticed to come forward to argue with Wang Feng and others.

Facing these people, Wang Feng's order was very simple.

"Hit, hit until they shut up and don't know."

"Go alone, go outside, if anyone dares to come, kill them without mercy."

Two orders were issued, and the guards in the room immediately divided into two teams.

A team armed with sticks began to beat the clamoring rich merchants.

As the prince's guards, of course they knew that where it hurts, it wouldn't kill them. This is one of their old professions.

If the master needs an adult, they must know how to complete the master's order, and nothing will happen. Although this situation has never happened to them, they have learned it.

Soon, the people in the business mansion wailed, and let the rest of the people witness a good show.

The sticks in the hands of the guards seemed to be deified. Every time they were struck, a wealthy businessman lay on the ground, howling in pain.

But no matter how howling, he couldn't fight back, let alone get up.

After about a quarter of an hour, the screaming sound disappeared.

All the wealthy businessmen who were beaten shut their mouths and did not dare to howl again, because they had already discovered that if they shut up, they would not be beaten again. Unless they were fools, they had already shut their mouths.

But to be able to become wealthy businessmen and economic masters of a city, of course they are not fools, but very smart.

"Why, no more screaming? Shouting, my lord, is still very democratic. You can speak up if you have any opinions." At this time, Wang Feng came out and said with a smile.

But no one took this sentence seriously, not even the guards dared to take it seriously.

Just now, it is clear that you ordered them to be beaten. Anyone who speaks will be beaten until they can no longer speak.

Let them speak now, who dares?

Looking at the vigilant rich businessmen in the room, the smile on Wang Feng's face became brighter.

"Take out a pen and paper, everyone, and write your names and identities, as well as the amount of food you have."

No nonsense, Wang Feng ordered directly.

As soon as this order came out, the eyes of many wealthy businessmen lit up.

The vigilance against Wang Feng in my heart also disappeared a lot.

After all, they are young, and let them write by themselves, as much as they write, that is how much.

However, they are not fools, of course they will write a relatively large number, but these are not equivalent to the grain they store.

Even if [-]% is handed over, they still have a lot of food and war wealth, which can still be distributed.

Soon, the sound of sparse writing sounded, and some wealthy businessmen got up from the ground and began to write messages in a hurry.

After about a cup of tea, all the wealthy businessmen have finished writing.

By the time this information was handed over to Wang Feng, it was already a pile of paper.

Holding the paper in his hand, Wang Feng had a sneer on his face.

He knew that none of the above information was true.

Ten merchants and nine traitors are talking about merchants. If they are not treacherous, they will not be able to accumulate funds quickly.

Of course, there are good businessmen, but here, obviously, there are none.

"Now, is there anyone who disagrees with me? If so, please speak up, and I allow you to speak up." Wang Feng waved his hand, without any thought or action of checking the information, but spoke to the wealthy businessmen.

After saying this, the guards slowly dispersed and stood in the corner, looking at the rich merchants curiously.

And rich businessmen, you look at me and I look at you, but you don't know what's going on.

In the end, it was the same person who spoke first, he stood up.

He is naturally a student.

"My lord, I don't know when I can hand in the food?" Pang Xuemin asked cautiously.

Get rid of Wang Feng as soon as possible, this is their most important thing now.

"Now? No, I still have a lot of questions to ask." With a sneer on his face, with a strange taste, Wang Feng walked towards the businessman in front of him step by step, and the first one to strike was naturally this, Pang Xuemin .

"What's your name?" Wang Feng asked abruptly.

"What? Little man, Pang Xuemin, my lord, have you forgotten?" Pang Xuemin looked at Wang Feng in amazement, not understanding what Wang Feng meant.

He even asked his name again, why is there something wrong with this situation.

"Oh, where is your home?" Wang Feng nodded and asked again.

"The villain lives in the east of Mingling City. There are 11 wives and concubines and nine children..." Tell me the simple situation of your own family. Anyway, you can send someone to ask about this information, and he can't fake it.

The real fakes are in the hands of Wang Feng, among those information.

Only the head of the family knows a person's property, even his sons and wives, no one knows how much it is.

Even where the gold, silver and grain were stored, only a few people knew.

"Oh, that's it, I probably understand." Wang Feng smiled, turned around suddenly, and looked at Li Qing who seemed to be fine at the door.

"Is he right?" Wang Feng asked.

"My lord, what he said is roughly correct." Li Qing nodded, confirming this point.

"Oh, then, take him down, he lied." Wang Feng laughed, turned around again, and shouted loudly.

This time, the guards immediately moved.

"My lord, what are you doing, what are you doing, I have said it all, I have said it all, what I said is true, it is true, you, you..."
