God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1130 The Tortuous Grain Buying Process

Chang Sun Chong shouted arrogantly: "A mere pariah dares to stop this young master. He really doesn't know how to live or die. Beat him to death!"

The dog legs all punched and kicked.

"Bold!"

"Business center, isn't it a place for you to run wild!"

Crash.

A voice sounded, and immediately, more than a dozen Huxian Guancheng armed with maces rushed out from the side, and surrounded Chang Sun Chong and others.

Before Chang Sun Chong could react, Guan Chengmen held up his mace, and knocked all his dog legs to the ground, each and every one of them was horrible.

Changsun Chong was furious: "It's the opposite, the person who dares to beat me, do you know who I am?"

A dark-faced man came over and said, "I've seen Mr. Eldest Sun!"

This man is very calm.

Chang Sun Chong couldn't help being taken aback.

"You know me, and the person who dares to beat me, do you know who my father is?"

As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Changsun Chong is too small to be well-known in Chang'an area.

But his father was different, he was Sikong, an absolute genius.

Unexpectedly, the man said indifferently: "Your Highness said that the business center is the face of Hu County, and also the face of Datang. Anyone who comes here must abide by the rules of this place, even the eldest grandson Sikong is here."

"Your Highness? Did the King of Shu ask you to do this?"

The man nodded.

Changsun Chong gritted his teeth and said in his heart, if I don't bear with that idiot, the King of Shu, I'm afraid I'll suffer.

So he said: "Okay, today my son will sell you face, but if this untouchable dares to stop me, how should I deal with it?"

The man said: "Master Changsun, this old man is not wrong, the rules of the business center are like this, first come, first come, queue up to buy food."

Saying that, the man waved his hand and let the old man leave.

Chang Sun Chong could only stare blankly.

He stomped his feet: "Okay, I remember you, what's your name?"

"Guancheng brigade, deputy captain, Li Ergou."

As he said that, Li Ergou put down a cruel sentence: "You guys, keep an eye on them, dare to disobey the rules, and act according to the rules."

With that said, he turned around and left with the rest of the people.

Walking into an alley, a person next to him asked anxiously: "Vice Captain, that's Chang Sun Chong, we offended him, what if he retaliates against us?"

Li Ergou gritted his teeth: "We offended him, he just retaliated against us in the future, but... Wang Laowu said that this matter was personally explained by Duke Hu, if we can't do it well, we will all interrupt Both legs were sent to Lantian to dig coal."

"My legs are broken, how can I still dig coal?"

"You know what a fart. I heard that those whose legs were broken and sent to dig coal were thrown into the cave and could not come out for the rest of their lives. They would eat, drink and scatter inside, and solve everything with their hands."

A gust of cold wind blew, and several of them felt chilly on their backs.

so afraid!
……

At the gate of Hu County Grain Distribution Center.

Several shopkeepers looked at each other, looking at Chang Sun Chong in bewilderment.

"My lord, what should we do now? Break in?" A shopkeeper asked tentatively.

Snapped.

Changsun Chong was so angry that he slapped that guy directly: "Break into your mother, this is the territory of the King of Shu, and that servant of the King of Shu has a bad temper, and beats people if he disagrees with him. Do you want me to die?"

The eldest grandson got angry, shook his sleeves and said, "Just follow their rules and line up."

More than a dozen shopkeepers hurried to line up obediently.

Not long after, more than a dozen people came back one after another.

A shopkeeper held a palm-sized piece of paper and said, "My lord...let's go back."

Ok?
Chang Sun Chong was furious immediately: "You're deceiving people too much, Du He is deceiving people too much, why are we all obediently queuing up, and why aren't we allowed to buy food as soon as possible?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "My lord, it's not that we are not allowed to buy it, but the number we got is No. 830, and we can only buy it the day after tomorrow."

As he spoke, he showed the number plate to Chang Sun Chong.

Others also got number plates one after another, and some even got more than 900 numbers.

Chang Sun Chong asked a little dumbfounded: "What if we can't buy food by then?"

The shopkeeper replied: "Young Master, Wang Lao Wu said that anyone who has a number plate can buy food. Otherwise, it will be a breach of contract."

Chang Sun Chong glanced at the people who lined up to buy grain in front of him, and cursed: "These untouchables, hmph, let's go and come back later. If we can't buy grain by then, I will smash this grain distribution center." Well, anyway, it was Du He who broke the contract first."

With that said, he returned to Chang'an with a group of people.

……

"Shopkeeper, our number is tomorrow, so today is nothing." said a servant.

The shopkeeper's face turned green: "You idiot, you can't even do this well."

……

"Shopkeeper, we won't be able to buy food until three days later, what should we do?"

"You fool, wouldn't you spend a few pennies to buy number plates from those untouchables?"

"Shopkeeper, no, this number plate has been marked. I bought several number plates, and as soon as I handed them in, I was discovered. Those in charge also said that I had been blacklisted. I can't come to buy food again."

"..."

……

Similar things happen in many places.

On this day, the Hu County Grain Distribution Center can only be described as hot.

Wang Laowu was so happy, in the evening, he rushed to the son-in-law's mansion to report to Du He.

Standing opposite Du He, Wang Laowu said happily: "...Godfather, you don't know that Mr. Liu and the others were all shocked. At first, everyone thought that lowering the price would result in a loss, but who would have thought that they would sell it today?" The amount of food in the past half a month is equivalent to the previous amount. After conversion, it is more than before. Moreover, in the past, we needed to transport the food to various places in Chang'an, and we had to rent shops. Calculated, it is also a big expense , but it’s different now, we only need to go to the Hu County Grain Distribution Center, and people will come to buy food. Moreover, I asked many people, and they all said that they have never seen or heard of this grain distribution center. However, it is simply the first pioneering work since ancient times.”

Wang Laowu's admiration for Du He is beyond words.

Du He was very calm.

Because everything is under his control.

In fact, the so-called grain distribution center, in later generations, is a super wholesale market, which belongs to the distribution center of goods. The goods are not high in price, but in quantity.

Wang Laowu said again: "It's just, godfather, I don't understand one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Why do we deliberately give them the last number plate when those big households come to buy grain?"

Wang Laowu had thought about this question a long time ago, but he never figured it out.

Du He smiled and said, "Do you still remember the worries of Mr. Liu and others?"

"Godfather, what do you mean, Mr. Liu and others are worried that the grain merchants in Chang'an City will buy all our grain, and then hoard it and don't sell it to the outside world. When there is no grain to sell in the market, they will sell it at a high price. ?” Wang Laowu said quickly.
