Chapter 104: County Magistrate Zhou Learns About Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce
When Li Laishu walked to the lobby door and saw the price tag and the bags full of grain piled up all over the lobby, he couldn't believe it.
The four city gates were closed. How did so much food in the escort agency get into the city?
Food is sold so cheaply during drought!
After running to the well and taking a look, Li Laishu ran to the gate without saying a word...
Seeing Li Laishu running towards the gate, Liu Yong and the other 10 yamen runners didn't dare to hesitate and immediately followed closely...
All the wells in the county have run dry, but the well in the escort agency is almost full of water!
Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce is too weird. I must report it to the county magistrate.
Li Wenxuan and Lin Changping, who were busy at the well, suddenly saw Li Laishu. When they were about to greet him, Li Laishu turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Seeing that Li Laishu had run far away, Li Wenxuan and Lin Changping, who were busy, no longer paid attention to him and continued with their own business.
……
Linshui County Government Office is on the east side of North Street.
Li Laishu rushed into the county government office, caught someone and asked him, and found out that County Magistrate Zhou was in the study in the backyard.
In the study room in the backyard, County Magistrate Zhou, dressed in casual clothes, was writing a memorial with a frown on his brow.
"Sir, I have something important to report!"
As soon as he ran to the door of the study in the backyard, Li Laishu shouted.
"What's the matter? Why are you making so much noise? Come in and tell me!"
County Magistrate Zhou scolded angrily.
Suddenly, he heard Li Laishu's loud shout, which frightened County Magistrate Zhou so much that his hands started shaking and he almost destroyed the half-written memorial.
"Sir, a big event happened in the county..."
Li Laishu said as he walked towards the study.
"What's the big deal?"
Are the common people going to cause trouble?
County Magistrate Zhou's heart suddenly rose.
“Sir, the former Tang Family Escort Agency became the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce early this morning.
Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce is selling water and food right now..."
"What... did you say? Say it again!"
When County Magistrate Zhou heard Li Laishu say that there was food and water for sale in the county town, he thought he was hallucinating.
"Sir, the former Tang Family Escort Agency has become the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce, and the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce is now selling food and water. Don't doubt it, this is absolutely true. I just went to see it myself."
"Tell me in detail what you saw!"
After hearing what Li Laishu said so confidently, County Magistrate Zhou immediately believed it to 80%.
"Sir, I saw it with my own eyes: the lobby of the former Tang Family Escort Agency was filled with grain bags piled up like a mountain, the well in the front yard of the escort agency was almost full of water, and the prices of grain and water were not expensive."
"So what is the price of food and water?"
"Sir, grains are sold at 10 wen per pound, refined rice and flour are sold at 15 wen per pound, and water is sold at 2 wen per pound."
"What? So cheap!"
It seems that the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce is indeed not simple as they dare to sell food and water at such a low price.
Historically, there has only been one Wantong Chamber of Commerce in Dongchu.
I wonder who this Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce is.
"Sir, this is very strange. The four gates of the county have been closed for several days, and I don't know how the food of Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce got into the city. The wells in the county are almost dry, but the well in Tangjia Escort Agency is almost full of water. Tang Shoucheng is also in the escort agency. He said that he is just the shopkeeper hired by Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce, and he doesn't know who the owner of Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce is."
"Yes, I got it. Don't mention the word 'strange' again. Don't make trouble for no reason. As long as there is food and water to sell in the county town, you don't care where it comes from!
There are many forces in the martial arts world now. Who knows what the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce has? Don't provoke them. Try to make things easier for the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce in the future."
Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce came to Linshui County to sell grain and water, which just solved the urgent needs of County Magistrate Zhou.
He doesn't care where Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce gets its food and water.
"Yes! I will definitely keep your teachings in mind!"
"Sir, there is food and water for sale in the city. Can the city gates be opened? The residents are complaining about the closing of the city gates."
"Well... let's see first. If the Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce can continue to sell food and water, we can open the city gate."
"Um... I think someone on the street said there's no limit on the quantity, just buy as much as you want!"
"You also said it seemed like... Never mind, I'd better go and see it myself to feel at ease."
County Magistrate Zhou said as he walked out of the study...
-
As more and more people in the city bought food and water, the county town gradually became lively.
Shops on the street opened one after another and began to operate.
After hearing the news from Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce, several shop owners who ran grain shops all went to Tangjia Escort Agency without any prior arrangement.
When these shop owners saw the price signs at the entrance of the lobby and the bags full of grain piled up all over the lobby, they could hardly believe their eyes.
At present, as they don't know the strength of Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce, they don't dare to buy large quantities of such cheap food on their own initiative.
Several shopkeepers are veterans in the business world, and they know very well that if Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce has a large and continuous supply of grain, it will be hard to say what the grain price will be in the future. If they buy a large amount of grain now, they will most likely suffer losses in the future.
It is better to report this matter to the boss first and then discuss the next step.
The bosses of the other shopkeepers were in the county town, so it was easy to report to them.
Only Manager Liu of Qian's Grain Shop was extremely worried.
Boss Qian lives in Anping Prefecture.
Now the four major gates of the county town are closed, and Manager Liu can't even send a message.
-
The county government office is about two miles away from Tangjia Escort Agency.
More than 10 minutes later, County Magistrate Zhou, along with 10 yamen runners including Li Laishu and Liu Yong, hurried to the door of Tangjia Escort Agency.
At this time, the entrance of the Tang Family Escort Agency was crowded with people and cars, and people were coming in and out of the agency in an endless stream.
People driving ox carts, pushing handcarts, carrying empty buckets and holding empty grain bags all rushed into the escort agency in a hurry.
They were afraid that if they arrived too late they would not be able to buy food and water.
Those who came out of the escort agency with a full load were all happy and smiling.
……
"Liu Yong, the ten of you should not patrol other places. Just maintain order at the entrance of Wanyuan Chamber of Commerce."
"Li Laishu, come in with me and keep a low profile!"
After giving instructions to the two men separately, County Magistrate Zhou followed the crowd into the yard of the escort agency.
……
County Magistrate Zhou walked to the lobby door with Li Laishu calmly.
First look at the price sign at the lobby entrance, then look inside the lobby.
Sure enough, there were mountains of bags filled with food in the lobby, and food and water were indeed sold very cheaply.
……
Tang Shoucheng, who was maintaining order in the yard, suddenly discovered that there were two people not queuing at the lobby door. When he was about to shout, he found out that the two people were actually County Magistrate Zhou and Li Laishu.
……
When Tang Shoucheng ran to the lobby door and was about to greet County Magistrate Zhou, County Magistrate Zhou suddenly turned around and followed Li Laishu towards the well...
Tang Shoucheng hurried over to County Magistrate Zhou, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "I greet Lord Zhou!"
