The heavy rain in early autumn continues one after another. It won't be long before the rain stops, and it will be time to welcome the arrival of the autumn harvest.

This year is considered a good year. At least judging from the current rainfall, there is no need to worry about the danger of drought.

And sufficient rain means abundant water source. At this moment when the grain is about to mature and is about to be filled, the more abundant rain means the plumper grain particles.

Unfortunately, when the flood came, everything changed.

“How much has the price of food in the county increased now?”

"Seven times

In three days, the price has increased sevenfold. Not only are we purchasing grain and grass, but also the big households in the city are purchasing grain and grass.

I thought this year would be a normal year, but no one expected that someone would blow up the dike."

He Yongding screamed excitedly, as if he saw loads of white money hitting him.

He Yongding's expression was very shameless, and of course, his own behavior was even more shameless.

"Go ahead and wait until the price of food rises tenfold, then gradually ship out the goods, and strive to sell out all the stored food within seven days."

He Yongding's expression was slightly unwilling, and he struggled: "During the famine in previous years, the price of food would rise to at least fifteen times.

us"

The other party wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Wang Fang: "Do as I say. They are different from us. Such a thing can only be done once."

While speaking, as if he was warning himself, Wang Fang murmured to himself: "You can only do it once."

Regardless of food prices or famine, those who suffer the most are ordinary people.

But right now, a profit of more than seven times is enough.

After the orders were issued, thousands of stones of grain and grass were transported to the county.

The big households were still immersed in the joy of the flood and frantically purchased grain and grass.

At this moment, there is less than a month left before the autumn harvest. Last year's grain reserves have been completely consumed, and judging from the current rainfall, the floods are likely to expand further.

This is a harvest season, but it has been artificially dragged into a famine.

Three days ago, when Yang Jiu and others just left the city, Wang Fang ordered to cut off the supply of sweet potatoes. When the flood came, the entire county fell into panic.

The sweet potatoes are gone, but the flood is coming. It’s the lean season. What should we do with tomorrow’s rations?

This is an unsolvable problem. At least in the eyes of thoughtful people, everything is a sign of famine.

Of course, this is just the view of some people. At least in the eyes of everyone in the valley, things are not that simple.

Half a month later, when the grain and grass in his hands were sold in batches to dozens of large households in the city, Wang Fang ordered again:

"Go down and put all the sweet potatoes we harvested in the second harvest and the sweet potatoes growing on the hillside into the market."

The first crop of sweet potatoes weighed 900,000 kilograms. It was precisely because of the first crop of sweet potatoes that Wang Fang moved the price of food in the entire county.

And in his hand, there was the second crop of sweet potatoes.

In six months, a total of 800 acres of fertile farmland were cultivated in the valley. In addition to 500 acres of paddy fields, there were also 300 acres of mountainous land.

Among them, 500 acres of paddy fields were artificially damaged, and only 300,000 jins were harvested. However, 300 acres of sweet potatoes on the hillside were successfully harvested, and a total of 700,000 jins were harvested.

In other words, Wang Fang still has 1 million kilograms of sweet potato reserves in his hands at this moment, but they still have not been put into the market.

As he spoke, Wang Fang continued, as if he was afraid that his actions would make others jealous.

"You don't have to go to the county to sell, just sell in the villages around the county. Even if the other party has no money, even if it's on credit, all the sweet potatoes must be sold within one day."

"Even if they are thrown on the streets near the county seat, they must be thrown away."

After the instructions were given one by one, more than ten figures dispersed.

Worrying eyes were fixed on the scattered figures. If the previous actions only slightly touched the beard of the big family in the county, then the current actions are tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth.

"Wang boy, I didn't expect you to be scared sometimes."

Stretching lazily, Mannia looked at Wang Fang with a teasing gaze and said:

"But I didn't expect that you are so brave. If you were an ordinary person, I would have been scared to death."

Looking at the other party speechlessly, Wang Fang was about to say something, but was interrupted by a figure rushing up:

"He Laowu, are you crazy?"

"Do you know what your previous actions mean?"

If there is one person in the valley who can understand Wang Fang's actions, then this person must be Yang Yutang.

As the only scholar in the valley who has received orthodox education, and the only one who has received Juren's teachings, Yang Yutang's face was filled with complex expressions at this moment, and he screamed:

"Once a million pounds of sweet potatoes are put on the market at this time, you know what it means."

Casting his fixed gaze on Yang Yutang, Wang Fang nodded and said, "I know."

"Since you know, why do you still do it? Do you know who is collecting grain in the county now?"

"I know."

While speaking, he clasped his fingers and said: "One county magistrate, one county magistrate, one chief registrar, one official, a total of two Jinshi, seven Juren, fifteen big households, and thirty-five scholars.

It can be said that anyone who has the ability to harvest grain is harvesting grain. "

As if he couldn't believe it, Yang Yutang said blankly: "Since you know, why do you still do it? Do you know that once the price of food subsides, the ones who will lose the most are these people who collect food at high prices, and each of them I can easily crush you and me to death."

"I know."

After nodding, Wang Fang stood up and walked around twice. He turned to Yang Yutang and asked, "Do you know why I don't want you to participate in the valley?"

Yang Yutang was stunned for a moment, then said inexplicably: "Isn't it because I am a scholar, and your school does not allow scholars to join?"

"No, it's not that simple."

"To tell you the truth, it's just because of the difference in status."

"You are a scholar, and we, including Mannia, are all mud-legged. Do you know who the mud-legged hate the most?"

"Corrupt officials, profiteers and powerful people."

"Yes, you know."

Wang Fang walked again: "Hoarding has raised food prices, causing people to sell their sons and daughters and become homeless."

"Yes, I don't deny that this famine is caused by me, but why should these people's parents and officials and these virtuous and virtuous country gentry want to get rich together with me?"

"Since they can get rich with me, why can't people get rich with me?"

"By the way, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me."

"Go down and ask the people nearby to sell all the grain they have to the big households in the city, and tell them that the autumn harvest is coming soon.

And there are people who will help them lead the flood away. "

"You still plan to divert the flood away"

He almost pointed his finger and cursed, but Yang Yutang's face turned green and red and said: "You will offend all the rich families in the city to death, and they will hate you to death."

Too lazy to explain too much, Wang Fang said calmly:

"Yes, they will hate me to death, and they will even issue a wanted order, but what does that have to do with me? I have changed my name now. My name is Wang Fang, Green Forest Bandit, and Spider-Man Wang Fang."

“Also, from beginning to end, there was no name for He Tiedan or He Laowu, only Spider-Man’s name.

Also, who would believe that an eight-year-old kid is in charge of food prices. "

While speaking, Yang Yutang turned around and left.

She stared blankly at the other person's retreating back, while Mannia beside her laughed and said:

"Boy from the Wang family, it seems that your wife is gone, and this guy won't marry her to you even if I beat him to death."

He frowned slightly and said speechlessly: "This seems to be the only loss." See more Prestige official account: hhxs665
