Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Qingzhou

After receiving the letter from Luoyang, Master Ji and Wu Ren both looked at each other and smiled, "It's our turn to take action."

Their food transportation operation was massive and unabashed, and it quickly attracted people's attention.

The businessman had a keen sense of smell. A businessman who was familiar with the two asked them, "Shopkeeper Wu, Master Ji, what are you doing?"

The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is like thunder to the people of Liaodong County, and it is also very famous in the south.In addition to these two places, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is not unknown in the Central Plains.

Wu Ren is currently the general manager of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. This time he led a team to lay out a trade route. Due to a coincidence, Qingzhou was chosen as the first stop.

After Wu Ren came to Qingzhou, Young Master Ji also came not long after. Young Master Ji took him and got to know many people.

At this time, in order not to appear so deliberate, Wu Ren and Young Master Ji did not answer directly, but smiled.

"Two good nephews, are these grains?" someone asked again.

The two of them still didn't speak, and looked like two tender quails standing close together.

But what businessmen are best at is dealing with people and getting acquainted with each other. It doesn't matter if they don't talk, as long as they do.

"Where is this going to be shipped to?"

"Oh, you two, stop hiding it. If you have money, let's make it together. When I make money, uncle, I will give you a big red envelope!"

"Shopkeeper Wu, let's talk about it. I'll take the decision to reduce or reduce the rent for three months at your store."

Young Master Ji and Wu Ren looked at each other, as if they were very helpless, "Uncles, the sacks are indeed filled with grain. We plan to transport this batch of grain to Nanyang. The price of grain in Nanyang has increased again."

"It's gone up again?" The man who spoke raised his voice unconsciously.

"Yes, with the intervention of the Yuzhou Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce, it has now risen to 280 yuan per dou."

"280 yuan per fight?!"

This price made all the merchants present shut up in surprise.

As a businessman, you are very well-informed.Everyone present has heard that since the Nanyang earthquake, the price of grain in Nanyang has remained high, with a high price of 260 wen per bucket.

Over in Nanyang, someone is obviously manipulating food prices.

The price is good, but it’s not even close to getting them to take action.After all, the food price in Qingzhou is not low.

They made a calculation and transported the grain to Nanyang. The labor cost plus the consumption on the road were sold for [-] buckets. The profit did not increase much, which was not enough to impress them.

Furthermore, such high food prices are very unfriendly to the imperial envoys who went to provide disaster relief. I heard that Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zuo who went to provide disaster relief were famous people in front of the emperor, so they were a little worried.

Now that it costs 280 yuan a fight, it is obvious to earn a head, and action must be taken.

Moreover, the price of food is now rising again and again, which shows that in the struggle between the government and businessmen in Nanyang, the merchants have the upper hand.

280 Wen Yidou, they couldn't help it anymore.After deducting the labor costs and consumption of transporting grain, you can make money no matter what. If you have money but don't make money, you are a bastard!

Another businessman squeezed away his colleagues with his chubby body, and asked, "Ji Shaodong's family, which port do you transport grain from Qingzhou to Nanyang?"

Young Master Ji: "Luoyang."

There are three or four canal ports in Yuzhou, among which Luoyang is the closest to Nanyang, Kaifeng and Xiangru County (Zhoukou) are close to Xuchang, and Liangjun (Shangqiu) is further away from Nanyang.

"How much is the shipping cost?"

The others also pricked up their ears.

"Is it expensive now?"

"It's okay." After saying these two words, Mr. Ji pointed forward and said, "Have you seen that the man standing in front of the deck of the first ship is Deputy Gang Leader Lin of the Cao Gang. Everyone wants to know how to transport food there. Why not ask him about the price in Nanyang?"

Hearing this, the merchants swarmed towards Linshan.

After some inquiries, the merchants found that the cost of shipping was not as high as they thought.

Cao Gang didn't react, right?Therefore, the price remains as it has been in the past. There is no price hike, which will not be certain later.

Merchants feel that they have the truth.

So people present came to Linshan to place orders one after another, wanting to make a deal and fix the shipping costs.

Linshan welcomes all comers.

When these merchants got off the boat one by one, they all felt happy when they thought of Lin Shan's confused and out-of-state look just now. They all felt that they were so cunning and had taken advantage.

Coincidentally, Lin Shan thought so too.

In the cabin, he looked at a stack of signed orders and felt that he was making a lot of money.

Ever since he went to Fangxian County, Liaodong County and met President Lu Songli and Lu, he had been preparing secretly. Now that he saw it, the opportunity had indeed come.

Situations like this happen from time to time in food-rich producing areas.

In this way, with the encouragement of Ji's Trading Company and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, the news that Nanyang's grain prices were the highest in the country spread like wildfire, and grain merchants from all over the country took action after hearing the news.

Liaoxi County, Yi County

It has been half a day since Lords Lu Desheng and Lu Yiliang led their troops to the Governor's Mansion, and everyone is quite worried about Lord Lu.Worried about his safety and worried about the outcome, after all, this is a major event related to whether they can go to Liaodong County to live in the future.

Moreover, they had understood before that it seemed that the governor of Pingzhou was on the side of Liaoxi County. Could Mr. Lu be able to deal with one against two?

Xue Xu comforted them, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu has always persuaded people with reason." Almost never failed.

Looking at the calm Mr.

Xue Xu thought for a while and said, "I guess I won't be able to leave today. It's getting late now, so let's set up camp here tonight."

"Okay, I'll go talk to everyone."

"Tell the guards to remember to be more vigilant tonight."

After hearing that they were going to spend the night here tonight, everyone skillfully unpacked their bags and started getting busy.

When night came, they expertly lit a bonfire.

Lu Desheng brought 6000 people with him when he came back, and there was quite a lot of movement.

The scout sent by the escort team turned back and told them that Mr. Lu was back, so that everyone should not panic.

"Master Lu is back!"

"Master Lu, are you alright?"

Everyone is very concerned about him, after all, Mr. Lu is working hard for them.

"It's okay, the matter has been resolved. Let's just stay one night tonight and we can leave for Liaodong County early tomorrow morning."

There were no outsiders around, so Lu Desheng didn't bother to show off to Shi Tao, saying that the governor was very reasonable.

Hearing this, all the refugees from the Southland are looking forward to it.

Xue Xu quickly asked people to arrange hot meals for 6000 people. They didn't have much else but a lot of food.

Lu Desheng didn't leave tonight. After dinner, he simply washed up and went to sleep at the place arranged by Xue Xu.Mainly because I was tired and too lazy to bother.

But his move moved more than 2 refugees in the Southland.
