That night, Wei Ming and Qin Yuxin had a chat in the middle of the night. Wei Ming was talking with enthusiasm. Qin Yuxin didn't understand or didn't want to listen. As a result, the two of them came to have a drink when they had nothing to do, and they just didn't realize it. Drank too much. When Fatty Wang discovered that Wei Ming was in Qin Yuxin's room in the morning, his mouth was open and he would definitely be able to stuff an apple.
"What's the matter with you, open your mouth so big, do it in the morning, right? Bring me a basin of water." As soon as Wei Ming opened the door, he stretched out and saw Fatty Wang open his mouth and watched energetically at the door.
"Well, two men are okay?" Fatty Wang muttered and walked away. It took a long time to think about it, wanting to find Wei Ming for the theory. Why does it seem that your status is getting lower and lower now? I'm not here to do the chores, okay? But when he wanted to find Wei Ming, he found that the door was closed long ago. I can only shook my head, wanting to find a substitute, such as Xiaodongzi to fetch water. It turned out that no one could be found, and he had to do it himself.
After three days, the transaction went smoothly. When Fatty Wang and Wei Ming looked at a box of white silver, their eyes were about to fall to the ground. This is the first pot of gold earned by two people working together. Even if they returned to Shaanxi now, they would have made a lot of money. Fatty Wang also has this idea.
"I said, Brother Wei, or let Qin Yuxin distribute the food to the victims, we have already made a lot of money this time." To be honest, Fatty Wang treats Qin Yuxin, a bandit with violent tendencies all over his body. Still very scared. If giving Qin Yuxin the rest of the grain to make Qin Yuxin calm down, it would also be a very cost-effective business.
"What do you think? What are we here for this time?" Wei Ming said disdainfully. Look at what Fatty Wang is doing. Those 30,000 stones were used to pit large households, and the remaining 20,000 stones were used to rescue the victims. It is unrealistic to save the victims on both sides of the Qinhuai River by relying on these tens of thousands of stones. But it does not mean that these tens of thousands of stone grains cannot be used to hook out the real big head.
"Here to do business." Fatty Wang answered honestly.
"Split all the food out, is that still called trading?" Wei Ming glanced at Fatty Wang and said. Fatty Wang didn't say anything, but he gave Wei Ming a definition in his heart: Wei Ming is definitely a more treacherous profiteer than himself. What made Fatty Wang even more confused was that Qin Yuxin saw all this in his eyes, but was indifferent, regardless of what Wei Ming was doing. He is forgiven for not understanding. Because that night, Wei Ming has reached an agreement with Qin Yuxin, you don't listen to my explanation, well, let's see the final result. If you are not satisfied, you can do whatever you want, whatever you want.
Soon, half a month passed. The people on both sides of the Qinhuai River had a harder time. According to historical records, the Secretary of Government Yang Sichang said: Merchant ships cannot expect to close the rice, and the shops are almost on strike. The people want to do it quickly. The price of food is rising rapidly. And the businessmen who control food in their hands have also begun to take action. Limited time supply every day. If you are late, then you can wait a day hungry and come back tomorrow. At this time, Wei Ming also took action.
When Wei Ming came to the prefectural residence, he asked the prefect to issue an announcement stating that Wei Ming was an agent of the government and that Wei Ming would sell food at a fair price. This is simply putting gold on the face of the prefect! Of course the prefect is willing. These days, because of food shortages, he has already paled his hair. To get those merchants to lower the price of food, people simply don't care if he is a big merchant, rich man, and there are people in the DPRK. For example, the rise of the Donglin Party was supported by the Jiangnan gentry behind it. If the entire Jiangnan gentry were offended, then the prefect of Suzhou would really not be able to bear the crime. It is even more impossible for the prefect of Suzhou to spend money and food to help the victims. It is not because the prefect of Suzhou is unwilling, but because he has no money at all! Since the implementation of the law of whiplash, the original taxes and grains have become tax silver. Now the whole country is supporting the Liaodong Front, and the money is long gone. There is more than enough energy but not enough energy! Wei Ming came to the door now, it was like a doze and brought a pillow! Sending charcoal in the snow will always be more cherished than the icing on the cake. The prefect of Suzhou can be regarded as remembering Wei Ming's favor this time.
With the official documents, everything is easier to handle. Wei Ming is also available for a limited time. One person can buy at most one bucket of rice a day. A bucket of rice is about twelve jins. This is also considering the large population nowadays, it is impossible for anyone to line up to buy rice every day. If the family has a large population, it is enough to eat for two or three days. When this was originally set, Fatty Wang and Wei Ming had a disagreement. It's definitely a bit high. After all, other big households can only buy one-third of the rice. Wei Ming couldn't convince Fatty Wang in the end, so he could only come up with a high-pressure policy, saying: "I will arrange it freely." All of a sudden, Fatty Wang was suffocated.
"Wei Ming? It's that Wei Ming again? Didn't he say that there are only 30,000 shi of food?" The Li Family Patriarch was about to jump into the river angrily. The bright prospects had been ruined by the kid Wei Ming. Fewer and fewer people come to buy food. They have so much food in their hands, but they can't sell it, can they not make a fuss
"He made it clear that he came to pit us. Damn it, if he does this again, I will definitely not let him get out of Suzhou City!" The Patriarch Zhao banged on the table to express his innermost feelings. dissatisfied.
"He was given sixty thousand taels of silver. This kid is still not satisfied. We should beat him too. Let him know who is in charge in this Suzhou city." The Qian Family Patriarch twisted the Buddha beads with his hands. , Said slowly.
"Forget it, let's take a look at the situation first. Just follow their selling method. How many days can I sell? Let him scream for a few days. When he is out of food, see what he can show off." Finally, the Wang family Come out and knock on the board. When the old man of the Wang family said so, others could not refute it, and could only wait and see the changes.
"Did they reduce the price there?" Wei Ming asked while drinking tea.
"Brother Wei, the price we set was two taels of silver and one stone. Everyone who came here filled up our rice shops. However, other rice shops still kept the price of three taels of silver and one stone." Fatty Wang Replied. Ordinarily, there are no people in other shops, so why don't you cut prices
"Hmph, they just think that we don't have so much food to support consumption." Wei Ming said. He also didn't expect the other party to let go at the beginning. After all, the grains in the hands of those merchants were also collected at high prices. If you sell at a low price, you can't even keep up your capital, so what are you talking about
"That's right, Brother Wei, our food is really consumed very quickly. If it is really sold like this, it really won't last long." Fatty Wang reminded. Food is now gold, and now it’s not here at all to buy, but to grab it! People took a lot of money to grab food!
"It's okay. Free up 10,000 shi of grain from our grain storage, I have a great use." Wei Ming said. If you want them to jump into the trap, it seems they have to increase the bait!
"Good Brother Wei." Fatty Wang nodded and agreed.
"By the way, as long as you kneel down at our door tomorrow and shout to wish you a long life, Dashan Wei, thank you, Master Qingtian, the prefect of Suzhou, then you can get a bowl of gruel. The gruel is absolutely thin, just as thin as it can be. It doesn't matter how thin the rice is, it doesn't matter if you can't see the rice." Wei Ming thought about it and added.
"Brother Wei, this is simply hitting us in the face! Is this okay?" Fatty Wang said with some uncertainty.
"If you let you do it, you can do it, yes." Wei Ming said with certainty. Now, the war between myself and the merchants in Suzhou has just begun!
