Jinghong Tower

The gates of Kaizhou City were closed for a whole month.

In this month, the first fifteen days were peaceful, but starting from the sixteenth day, the people in the city began to gather to make trouble.

There is only one reason for the trouble,
They can't buy rice!
All the large and small rice shops in the city announced that they had no rice noodles!
Of course, polished rice and white flour are available, but coarse grains and brown rice are out of stock.

This has no impact on families who can afford to eat polished rice and white flour, but such families are only a minority.

For most families in Kaizhou City, coarse grains and brown rice are their main foods.

Now that whole grains and brown rice are unavailable, what should we let them eat?
The rice shop refused to sell polished rice and white flour as coarse grains.

When he heard the news, the first thing King Kaizhou thought of was the Huwei Army.

So many rice shops were out of stock at the same time. If the Huwei Army hadn't caused trouble, King Kaizhou's years would have been in vain.

He asked people to go to various rice shops to inquire, but the rice shops flatly denied selling grain to the army.

"No, we will be out of stock only if the food is sold out and new food cannot be shipped in."

"What kind of army? There is no army to buy food from us."

"We sell our grain by a few kilograms, and the most we buy is only twenty or thirty kilograms. No army buys grain like this."

"It is true that there are a few days when the business in the shop is very good, and people who come to buy food line up, but isn't this normal?"

After some investigation, King Kaizhou finally understood.

The Huwei Army did not purchase military rations in large quantities. They bought them in batches, which were not even considered "batches". Those beggars took turns buying rations one by one, each buying ten or twenty kilograms. One thousand people is ten thousand catties, three thousand people is thirty thousand catties!
King Kaizhou trembled with anger when he thought that all the money used to buy food was taken away from his palace.

He didn't believe that so many people and so much food would disappear out of thin air in the city.

But for so many days, the search in the city never stopped, but nothing was found.

It was not until King Kaizhou received the news that the Huwei Army was fighting the refugee army two hundred miles away that he ordered the city gate to be opened.

King Kaizhou couldn't understand how so many beggars got out of the city when the city gate was clearly closed.

Moreover, the beggars also brought a lot of things.

Speaking of this, King Kaizhou was even more angry.

He was still looking for someone, but they were already two hundred miles away.

The king of Kaizhou was exhausted mentally and physically and could not afford to fall ill.

Hei Mei was fighting a battle, but she easily defeated a group of more than 2,000 refugee soldiers, and the boss was chopped to pieces. Those who had not escaped were all recruited.

Hongdou ran over excitedly: "Kaizhou City has opened its gates!"

The black girl blinked, King Kaizhou was really stingy. In order to catch him, the city gates were closed for a whole month. Fortunately, he was well prepared.

Jidali is a local snake. He found a tunnel out of the city ten years ago, and then continued to expand on this original tunnel. Now, it is a very mature tunnel.

The black girl got gold, won the battle, and was in a good mood.

But there was another thing that made him both happy and worried.

The number of Huwei Army has increased again, now there are 200,000!

Spring is here, everything is coming back to life, and many beggar brothers are coming from all directions.

At that time, he ordered the young men of the Beggar Clan to gather in Nanyang, but there were too many people in the Beggar Clan and they were too scattered.

His order can only be transmitted within a thousand miles in a short period of time, but the brothers of the Beggar Gang thousands of miles away, or even thousands of miles away, can only leave it to time. Therefore, the beggar gangs in some places did not receive the news until last year, and they hurriedly sent people over. They have already arrived in Yudi.

The more people there are, the more powerful the troops will be, and the more money will be spent.

The black girl sighed, the military expenditure contributed by King Kaizhou was also limited and would always be spent.

What to do after spending all the money?
You can't just shave off a sheep.

The King of Kaizhou has already made him bald, and it will take him a long time before he can continue to bald.

What if King Kaizhou is short of money before he can grow new wool?
The black girl really wanted to ask He Ran how she did it.

There is another thing that the black girl also wants to ask He Ran, but she is a little embarrassed.

That is Jinghong Tower.

The black girl discovered that it is not possible to make money by building Jinghong Tower. For example, Jinghong Tower in Nanyang has been open for a year, but it is still losing money and does not show any intention of making money.

But it obviously shouldn't be like this. There is no Jinghong Tower that he has seen that is not profitable.

But why can the Jinghong Tower he opened only lose money?

Bai Gou reminded: "Don't forget, Jinghong Tower is also engaged in other businesses."

Others may not know what other businesses Jinghong Tower does, but Heimei, who is the leader of the Beggar Clan, knows.

Jinghong Tower might as well be called News Tower. The biggest news dealer in the world is Jinghong Tower.

Bai Gou said: "Why don't we also sell news? I heard that news is very valuable. The waiter from Qingzhou said that the proprietress of a restaurant there spent three thousand taels to buy news from Jinghong Tower. "

The black girl hurriedly asked: "Three thousand taels? What news did you buy?"

"The landlady's husband was a son-in-law, and the old man kept an outhouse without telling his wife. But the outhouse was hidden secretly. The landlady suspected that the old man had second thoughts, but there was no evidence, so she spent money to find Jinghong. Floor." Bai Gou said.

The corners of the black girl's mouth twitched: "Will Jinghong Tower handle such a trivial matter?"

"Why not? Of course I accepted it. Three thousand taels. Who would have a problem with money?" said the white dog.

Black girl: "What happened next? Did you find the outer room in Jinghong Tower?"

Bai Gou: "Of course I found it! Guess what, fortunately, this matter was handed over to Jinghong Tower, otherwise the boss lady might not be able to find it in a few years."

The black girl saw that the white dog was trying to show off, so she kicked him: "Tell me, how did you find him?"

Bai Gou laughed loudly: "That old boy is quite shameless. He was worried that his secret would be exposed, so he let the foreign wife take the child to marry his disabled elder brother and become his sister-in-law.

Outsiders thought that the eldest brother was disabled and could not marry a beautiful girl, so he had to marry a widow.

When they got married, the landlady also paid money, and occasionally she would call her "sister-in-law" when she saw the outside room. "

The black girl was stunned when she heard this: "Shameless, this is so shameless! Oh my God, my ears are dirty, I need to wash them."

After a second thought, he added: "It's shameless that Jinghong Tower can find out such a shameless thing. However, three thousand taels of silver is still worth it."

Bai Gou asked: "Don't you also want to make this kind of money?"

Hei Mei frowned: "Do we have such a capable person?"

Bai Gou: "There are capable people, but they can only make such a small amount of money. If it's for other things, I'm afraid it won't work. Jinghong Tower has been operating for decades. In these years, it's enough for them to go to those high-end families." I put a few batches of eyeliner in it." (End of this chapter)
