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

Zhu Congwen shot very quickly. When Uncle Zhu rushed over, the granary was basically emptied.

"Cong Wen, what are you doing?"

When Zhu Congwen saw his second uncle coming, he quickly pulled him aside and explained, but he still didn't say that he found a gold mine in someone else's territory, and he was trying to make that gold mine his own.He only said that he found a business opportunity, and it was a profitable business.

When Second Uncle Zhu heard this, he felt that his nephew had been cheated.

"Second Uncle, although my nephew has no skills, he is not the kind of pretentious person. He knows how much he has. If it weren't for the really good opportunity this time, my nephew would not dare to borrow 20 taels to do it. Second Uncle, just trust me once."

Uncle Zhu heard the words and thought about it. His nephew was indeed what he said, and he had never been like this before.Perhaps, as the nephew said, he found a profitable business?

And Uncle Zhu felt that no matter what the business was, he might lose a little in one month, but no matter what, he would not lose all 20 taels.At worst, when the redemption time is up and the nephew can't afford 20 taels, he can make up for it and redeem the grain.

Uncle Zhu persuaded himself so much, but he still wanted to persuade his nephew, "Cong Wen, the price of food is obviously still going up. We can make money by guarding the food. If we can do it without tossing, we don't have to do it."

The grain was mortgaged and exchanged for 20 taels, which was obviously a loss.

Now the other big aristocratic families in the Southland are very jealous of the Zhu family.

Zhu Congwen thought to himself, it's a joke, it's true that the price of food has risen, but the speed of the rise can compare with the speed at which he digs gold in the gold mine?Moreover, he will redeem the grain within a month, and the premium part of the grain increase at that time will still belong to their Zhu family.He wants to eat both ends!

"Second uncle, don't worry. Don't tell the old man about this. I'm going to give him a surprise and let him see how his son is doing."

……

Xie Zhan ticked off each completed plan.

He has been paying attention to Zhu Congwen's movements. When he found out that Zhu Congwen used the grain from the two granaries of Zhu's family in order to get the 20 taels, he frowned slightly.

After a search, they learned that Ji Wuyin had returned to the South.

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

If it wasn't for the relationship between Ji's firm and his plan, if it wasn't for his intentions to keep people's attention, the fact that Ji Wuyin secretly went to Liaodong County in private would not be noticed by ordinary people.

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

This discovery was accidental and inevitable.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you won't be in danger in a hundred battles.

The people he sent to Liaodong County have been collecting information about Lu's father and daughter.

Xue Xu didn't get along with Lu's father and daughter, as if he appeared out of nowhere.Moreover, he appeared after Lu Desheng was released, and as soon as he appeared, he was the master of Hou Cheng.The identity of this person is obviously not simple.

Xue Xu's identity is not difficult to find out.

Among the intelligence gathering personnel in charge of Xie Zhan was an old man from the Chen family. After he became suspicious, he sent the old man to Liaodong County. The old man from the Chen family recognized Xue Xu as Xue Guangxian before them.

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

Of course, in his plan, Ji's firm was not in the range of prey he had to hunt.But if Ji's 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 was able to become the richest man in the south, so he was obviously more cautious than his eldest son.

Xie Zhan couldn't help feeling regretful, it would be great if Ji Wuyin came back two days later.

But since Ji Wuyin didn't find a loophole, let's put it aside for now, and since he came back, it's not that there is nothing he can use.

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

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

Liaodong County, Houcheng, Yang's Iron Shop

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

On a hot day, Xiao Yang blacksmith was shirtless, swinging the hammer, banging the iron, sweat dripping drop by drop.

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

During the break, he came to the yard, took a bucket of well water, took a spoonful, and was about to drink with his head up.

But he was slapped away by Old Blacksmith Yang who came in from the outside, "Don't drink the well water! Isn't there herbal tea nearby?"

"Father, it's cool to drink well water this day." It's too hot for blacksmithing, and there is nothing better than a bowl of well water to quench your thirst when you come out of the blacksmith room.

Old blacksmith Yang glared at him, and he put down the ladle angrily.

He used to drink well water directly. After coming to Houcheng, his father listened to Houcheng's propaganda, saying that there were bugs and viruses in the water that they couldn't see with the naked eye, and called on the people like them to boil the water and drink it instead of drinking raw water.

At first some people believed and some did not.

Until the shop of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce opened again, this time they stopped selling cheap food, and instead sold a kind of pagoda candy, which they said could cure the bugs in children's stomachs.

It is said that any child with the following symptoms can buy it and try it.For example, the child has long-term weight loss, irritability, loss of appetite, frequent vomiting, itchy skin, teeth grinding when sleeping, frequent pain around the navel, and sometimes sudden right upper quadrant colic.They can be bought for children to eat, and the price is not expensive, and they cost a penny each.

Candy that can cure insects is really not expensive.It is far more expensive to go to the pharmacy to get secondary medicines.

Recently, there are many opportunities to work in Houcheng, and many people who are willing to endure hardships have earned money.Those who didn't make any money, and the vibrant scene in Houcheng, didn't make the people feel that their livelihood was difficult.Besides, it's about children, and many people are willing to spend a penny to buy the pagoda pond.

When they bought it, they found that the purchase of pagoda candy was also restricted. If they wanted to buy pagoda candy to deworm their children, they could take the original household registration and use the above child quota to buy it.Want to buy for relatives?It's okay, but the price is different. Those who are not registered in Liaodong County are all five cents a piece.

The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce explained that this pagoda candy sold for a penny, and they lost money to the fellow villagers.But selling to others will definitely make money.

With the cheap food as a base last time, as soon as the pagoda sugar hit the upper limit, the common people subconsciously thought it was a good thing.

Especially after the effect came out, their cognition was further deepened.

The first batch of pagoda candies were bought, and they gave the candies to their children.

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

The next day, many children cried and called for adults.The adults were also shocked when they saw the effect.Then, while helping the children deal with it, they exchanged and lamented the effect of this pagoda candy.

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

Thinking of certain scenes, Xiao Yang Blacksmith silently picked up a bowl of cool tea next to him and drank tons of it.

Then he caught sight of the things his father brought in and put at his feet, little blacksmith Yang asked, "Are you asking for something again?"

"Yes."

"It's been going on every day, without a stop." Blacksmith Xiao Yang muttered.

After coming to Hou Ping, the first period of time was easy.I don’t know why recently, how can there be endless iron?The things requested by the other party are still delicate, and he can't fully hand them over to the apprentice. He has to watch the key points, and sometimes he has to do it himself.

"What are you muttering about?" Old blacksmith Yang glared at him, this son of a bitch is too disrespectful to his parents.

Forced by his father's coercion, Blacksmith Yang quickly said, "No mumbling! Dad, I'll get the things, and I promise to get them ready as soon as possible."

Old Blacksmith Yang was finally satisfied.

Little blacksmith Yang looked at the rolling heart, gears, and bearings of the threshing machine, and thought to himself, it's okay, this thing is not difficult to beat, otherwise it would kill him to get such a big and delicate thing.

So he yelled, "Little ones, get to work!"
