The Great Ming Reversal

Chapter 13: Ordered to harvest food

Views:

"My lord, let's make it happen!" Wei Ming put down the thick gift he had prepared and said with a smile. With the support of the government, everything will go smoothly.

"Things are good things. You can collect food at a fair price, and it is good for the country and the people. However, you should take this gift back. I can't accept these things." Liang Dingxian took the gift left by Wei Ming He pushed it to Wei Ming again, and said without any doubt.

"grown ups,… "

"Needless to say. In this matter, I will give you a certain amount of help. I will not trip you up because of not accepting your gift. Don't worry about that." Liang Dingxian finished. Waved his hand, indicating Wei Ming what to do. Don't be an eyesore here.

"Then thank your lord." Wei Ming said a little emboldened. I even wonder if my gift is missing. I just wanted to understand it when I got home. Liang Dingxian has no ambitions here. Whether it is a big gift or a small gift, after receiving it, it is not clear. Maybe it's all right now. But if Liang Dingxian has a higher status in the future, it is hard to guarantee that no one will be accused of this matter. If you don't accept your own gift, it is called for the country and the people. But if it is collected, no matter what the final result is, it will inevitably be detained as a way of pursuing power for personal gain. This was life-threatening in the Ming Dynasty. Not only the official career is not guaranteed, it is very likely to be ransacked and distributed. Thinking of this, Wei Ming felt relieved. Tell Fatty Wang about this. Now everything is ready, only the east wind. By the time of the autumn harvest, their big grain harvest plan will begin to be implemented. But it's still early, and I have to wait two months. However, starting to prepare now, time is not enough. Fortunately, there is Fatty Wang, an old fried dough stick who has been in business for many years. It also saves Wei Ming from trouble. Leave all the matters to Fatty Wang to handle, and Wei Ming feels relieved to be a shopkeeper and enjoys his leisure time. In fact, there is a reason why Wei Ming is so relieved of Fat Wang. Fatty Wang has been able to mix in the mall for so many years, if he doesn't even have any credibility, it would be impossible. Wei Ming also secretly sent someone to investigate Fatty Wang, and his reputation is good. Moreover, this time can also be regarded as a test. If Fatty Wang performed well in this grain harvest, he could be a long-term partner in the future. If it doesn't work, Wei Ming can find a new agent. When it comes to business, Wei Ming's eyes are blackened. To achieve something, a prosthetic hand is necessary for others. It's better to find someone who can take care of it now, and it's better to worry about it if it's bigger than later.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed. With the passage of time, it is getting closer and closer to winter. Now the weather is all gray, and it seems that a blizzard can come at any time. Both the government and the common people are anxious, and this matter can not be delayed. If it really snows, the crops will be crushed on the ground. At that time, it will inevitably be another famine.

Fortunately, the superficial skills are well done, but in fact, God is still saving face this year. After people took all the crops back to their homes, the snow seemed to be late, and it landed on the land of China. The government breathed a sigh of relief, and the peasant breathed a sigh of relief. But Wei Ming and Fatty Wang were about to take a deep breath. When the grain has been recovered, it is time for them to collect it. Get busy again.

"Oh, it's still early, and I will go to bed later." The weather gradually turned cold, which made Wei Ming always want to stay in the warm bed for a while. Outside Li Niu banged the door of the room, but Wei Ming remained indifferent. Two months of idle life did give him a certain amount of inertia.

"Boss, I can't do it today! Today is the first day of food collection. You, the main person in charge, have to go! Wang Da was waiting in the hall early in the morning. It is estimated that he has already been anxious for a long time. Yes, boss, it’s not our family that collects the grain. If other merchants seize the opportunity, then we are likely to fight!" Li Niu said decently, and indeed pulled Wei Ming from the bed. come out. Wei Ming sighed. If Li Niu could say this, it would be a weird thing. It is estimated that Fatty Wang made the bad. Wang Daqing is Fatty Wang. Wei Ming even wondered if this product had also passed through. What's the name? Does he also know that the Qing Dynasty will follow

"It's okay, don't call it mourning, you tell Fatty Wang to wait a while, and I'll come right away!" Wei Ming glanced outside, just Meng Liang. Hey, the people under his hands are all diligent, and my own master has to be diligent too.

Putting on clothes slowly, eating a mouthful of food. When it was already bright outside, Wei Ming walked in all directions to the front hall. People from far away saw Fatty Wang drinking millet porridge, pickles and steamed buns.

"You don't think of yourself as an outsider!" Wei Ming doesn't have a good impression of Fatty Wang who has disturbed his clear dream. If it weren't for the fact that this cargo looks a bit horrible, I'm afraid it would have been kicked long ago.

"That's, Brother Wei, who are we with whom." Fatty Wang didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Wei Ming's words at all. Throwing half of a bun into your mouth three times, half a bowl of porridge in one mouthful. Use the sleeves to wipe the mouth indiscriminately twice, and the total amount of effort is a blink of an eye before and after. Wei Ming had to sigh, no wonder this product is so fat, it turned out to be eaten like this.

"Is everything ready?" Wei Ming said as he walked forward.

"Everything is prepared. According to what was said, I will pay 10,000 taels and you will pay 5,000 taels. Our two families will be able to receive a lot of food when we work together. However, the competition is still fierce. After all. , Our little money is really nothing in the eyes of the real rich." Fatty Wang replied as he walked quickly to follow Wei Ming. Because it was the official line that Wei Ming pulled up, according to the principle of distribution according to work, Wei Ming had to spare a portion of his money. Even if Wei Ming was asked to take ten thousand taels of silver, he would not be able to take it out.

"Okay, let's take someone with you! We collect grain at a high price, so they will sell the grain to us first!" Wei Ming said.

It is said that ideals are full and reality is the backbone. Wei Ming now finally realized the sadness of it. When Wei Ming appeared in Zhuangzi and started asking everyone out to sell food, few people paid attention to him at all. The few people who came here occasionally all looked at Wei Ming with suspicion. This makes Wei Ming very puzzled. I posted this notice a month ago. When I came, it was noisy with gongs and drums, and firecrackers blasted in unison. Compared with those profiteers, our price is quite fair. How come no one cares about it

Wei Ming looked back at Fatty Wang, who was also unclear on his face. He is also engaged in food for the first time. I've always been a wine merchant before. Although they also collected grain, they did not collect it as they do now. Grain production has been severely reduced in the past two years, and disasters have occurred at every turn. It is not an easy task to harvest grain and make wine. Moreover, the wine merchants do not dare to collect grain to make wine. Because of the shortage of food, who knows when the government will give you a prohibition? In that case, you really have to lose your fortune. That's why Fatty Wang decisively changed his career and started the business of collecting grain. However, it doesn't seem to be the case now.

After a while, another group of food collectors came. The banner they played was the Cao family in Shanxi. Wei Ming has a certain understanding of this Cao family. The founder of the Cao family, Cao Sanxi, is also considered a great generation, from a small poor man to a generation of giant merchants, making the Cao family even more than 10 million taels of silver when it was at its peak. This is the real home of big businessmen. What made Wei Ming even more strange was that after the Cao family came, the people scrambled to sell food. However, after inquiring, the money given by the Cao family is not as high as that given by him. This makes Wei Ming and Fatty Wang confused. Are these people stupid? Can't even make money
