A bold son-in-law doting on his concubine and destroying his wife?The ashes are scattered!

Chapter 204

"If you hadn't pushed me, I wouldn't have been targeted by the shops in the city! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

As the woman said, she pushed her hands towards Leng Lanzhi.

It's just that the two hands stopped halfway, because another big hand stretched out, not only grabbed her hand, but also pushed her aside.

Gu Zhan's voice seemed to be icy: "Presumptuous!"

The woman was frightened by the cold voice. Although her eyes were still filled with anger when she looked at Leng Lanzhi, she did not dare to say anything more.

She stomped her feet resentfully, and suddenly ran away crying while covering her face.

It's hard not to think too much about that woman's words.

The two waiters looked at each other, and one of them asked with great interest: "I heard that two foreigners were talking nonsense in front of our stall that day, saying that there will be cheap food and cheap clothes soon. , drove all our guests away, so it was you?"

Leng Lanzhi didn't deny it: "Now that the disaster situation has stabilized, if you still dare to drive up food prices, aren't you afraid of being held accountable?"

The little girl glanced at everyone with an exaggerated expression: "She actually said that she should be held accountable..."

Immediately disdainfully said: "Who is responsible? Are you?"

Another person also said amusedly: "Even the county magistrate has tacitly agreed to let us increase the price. Who do you think you are? It's really ridiculous!"

Leng Lanzhi was filled with anger, but he also understood that the two in front of him were just two watchdogs.

Not to mention them, even the owner of the grain store is just a tool for the Rongfeng Chamber of Commerce to make money. Using the owner of the grain store alone will have no effect at all.

It's time to meet the Rongfeng Chamber of Commerce.

After taking a deep look at the two mistresses, he said coldly, "Let's go."

"Hey, they're just two outsiders who come from a shabby household, and dare to meddle in our business, beyond their control."

"What are you looking at? If you want to buy food, just go home and prepare the money. If you don't want to buy it, don't stand around here blocking our talents. It's bad luck! A bunch of poor people...ah!"

The waiter suddenly screamed as he spoke.

The companion was startled, and when he turned his head to look, he was even more shocked: "What's the matter with you?"

I saw that the man's mouth was full of blood, and his two front teeth seemed to have been smashed by something. It looked so miserable.

"Have you seen... a ghost?" The companion did not dare to approach the waiter for a while.

Gu Zhan withdrew his hand, caught a glimpse of the worried look of the people beside him, and said in relief: "It's just some clowns, the princess don't need to worry."

Leng Lanzhi smiled bitterly: "They are clowns, but Rongfeng Chamber of Commerce is obviously not."

What kind of role can a force that even the sheriff doesn't look down upon?
Although it is only a chamber of commerce, there is an illusion among these forces that even if the one whose head is knocked off, a replacement will be found soon.

It can be said that as long as their interests are unified, their power cannot be disintegrated.

Wait... the interests are one?

Gu Zhan said: "Human beings always have weaknesses. When people make mistakes, they can always catch them. Rongfeng Chamber of Commerce is indeed a giant, but it is not indestructible."

Leng Lanzhi already had a vague idea. After hearing this, she nodded with deep understanding: "You're right, they are not indestructible."

Before destroying these guys' alliance, she had to calm down the prices.

Thinking about it, she stopped and changed direction: "Let's go to the sheriff's mansion."

In the afternoon of the same day, the county magistrate issued another price limit order, ordering merchants in the city not to allow random price increases. The price of food should not exceed twice the market price. If anyone disobeyed, all shops would be closed and fined.

As soon as the price limit order came out, all the grain stores and clothing stores seemed to have agreed upon it. They closed their doors tightly and refused to open the door to anyone who knocked on the door. They only said that they did not dare to open the door because they were afraid of being arrested by the Yamen.

There are ten grain stores and fifteen clothing stores in Tianhai City, but now there are only five clothing stores that sell winter clothes.

These shops are all closed, apparently to fight the court to the end.

Rongfeng Chamber of Commerce.

President Feng sat above everyone, and other members of the Chamber of Commerce sat on both sides of the hall. In front of everyone were exquisite snacks and steaming tea.

One of them put down his tea cup and sneered: "Isn't Li Changlin stupid? He has already used the same method once, and it didn't work, so he used it again?"

"Hey, it's understandable that he takes office as a new official and wants to achieve results, it's understandable..."

The other person shook his head and smiled, "Although it's understandable, this method is really stupid."

Listening to what you said and what I said, President Feng's calm face remained expressionless.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, after all, that's our Lord Sheriff, our food and clothing official, and I want to give him some kind of favor, so don't talk about the right and wrong of Lord Sheriff behind his back in the future." .”

Everyone hurriedly responded: "Please obey the church, Mr. President."

The person who spoke first laughed and said: "Then Li County Sheriff has always targeted the Chairman, and dared to cut off the olive branch that the Chairman gave him, and the Chairman still respects him so much, he really has a big heart."

President Feng smiled slightly and changed the topic: "According to my opinion, in a few days, this price limit order will be revoked. At that time, we will save face for County Li and reduce the food price by one point."

Everyone was immediately heartbroken: "One pound is reduced by one cent, and ten thousand catties is ten thousand cents. Our loss is really too great!"

President Feng waved his hand: "Your losses, when the dividends are distributed at the end of the year, the president will take part of the profits of the chamber of commerce to make up for you."

"What's so funny about this? We should have obeyed the president's orders..."

When the crowd dispersed, President Feng put away the hypocritical smirk on his face and snorted coldly: "A bunch of idiots!"

Behind the screen, a man in a strange costume came out and praised in the awkward Sheng Guo language: "Good job."

President Feng, who was still aloof not long ago, suddenly showed a flattering expression: "Your Excellency is absurd, it is a villain's honor to be able to serve the Eldest Prince!"

The man in strange clothes snorted and said, "You, yes! Don't worry, when the eldest prince wins Tianhai City, you will be a great hero of my sea country, and the eldest prince will definitely give you a high-ranking official!"

President Feng's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Eldest Prince! Thank you, Your Excellency!"

He was a scholar, farmer, businessman, and no matter how well he did in Tianhai City, he was still just a lowly businessman at the bottom of society.

Those officials look down on him at all.

And their Feng family has been in succession for several generations, but they have not produced a single material for studying.

It is simply impossible to change one's identity by relying on one's official career.

Just when he was almost desperate, the eldest prince appeared and gave him a clear way.

This time, he must climb up at all costs!

Raising food prices is only the first step in the chess game, and it is also the most fatal step.

Leng Lanzhi weighed the key in his hand, and handed it to Zhang Yang: "Open warehouse, sell clothes, sell grain."
