Chapter 13 Ordered to Collect Food
"Your Majesty, let's make a deal!" Wei Ming said with a smile as he put down the thick gift he had prepared.With the support of the government, everything will be much smoother.

"It's a good thing. It's good for the country and the people that you can collect grain at a fair price. However, you should take this gift back. I can't accept these things." Liang Dingxian took the gift left by Wei Ming Pushing it to Wei Ming again, he said without a doubt.

"grown ups,……"

"Needless to say. In this matter, I will give you some help. I won't trip you up because I don't accept your gift. Don't worry about this." Liang Dingxian finished speaking, He waved his hand, indicating to Wei Ming what to do.Don't get in the way here.

"Then thank you, my lord." Wei Ming said without confidence.I even wondered if my gift was missing.It wasn't until I got home that I figured it out.Liang Dingxian's ambition is not here.No matter whether it is a big gift or a small gift, after accepting it, it is not clear.Maybe it's okay now.But if Liang Dingxian has a higher status in the future, it is hard to guarantee that no one will use this incident to snare Liang Dingxian.If you don't accept your own gift, that's called serving the country and the people.But if it is accepted, no matter what the final result is, it will inevitably be labeled as enriching one's own pockets and using power for personal gain.In the Ming Dynasty, this was fatal.Not only is his official career in danger, but he is also likely to be ransacked and assigned.Thinking of this, Wei Ming felt relieved.Tell Fatty Wang about this.Now everything is ready and only owes the east wind.When the autumn harvest comes, their grain harvest plan will begin to be implemented.But it's still early, and it will take two months to wait.However, starting from now to prepare, in terms of time, it is not plentiful.Fortunately, Fatty Wang, an old fried dough stick who has been in business for many years, is there.It also saves Wei Ming trouble.After handing over all the matters to Fatty Wang, Wei Ming felt at ease as a hands-off shopkeeper, happy to be at ease.In fact, there was a reason why Wei Ming was so relieved of Fatty Wang.It would be impossible for Fatty Wang to have been in the mall for so many years if he didn't even have any credibility.Wei Ming also secretly sent someone to investigate Fatty Wang, and his reputation is still good.Moreover, this time can also be regarded as a test.If Fatty Wang performed well in this harvest, he could be a long-term partner in the future.If not, Wei Ming will have to find a new agent.In terms of business, Wei Ming can be said to have a dark eye.In order to achieve something, it is necessary to give hands to others.It's better to find someone who can rest assured to take care of it now than to worry about it when it gets bigger later.

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.As time goes by, winter is getting closer and closer.Now the weather is gray and gray, and it seems that a blizzard can fall at any time.Both the government and the common people are in a hurry, and the matter of being in demand cannot be delayed.If it really snows, the crops will all be buried in the ground.At that time, there will inevitably be another famine.

Fortunately, they did a good job on the surface, but in fact, God is still very face-saving this year.After people took all the crops back home, the snow fell on the land of China as if it was long overdue.The government breathed a sigh of relief, and the peasants breathed a sigh of relief.But Wei Ming and Fatty Wang were about to take a deep breath.When the food is taken back, it's their turn to collect the food.Got to be busy again.

"Oh, it's still early, sleep a little longer." The weather gradually turned cold, making Wei Ming always want to stay in the warm bed for a while longer.Li Niu outside slammed the door, but Wei Ming remained indifferent.Two months of idle life did give him a certain amount of inertia.

"Boss, today is not enough! Today is the first day of grain collection, you, the main person in charge, have to go! Wang Da was waiting in the lobby early in the morning. I guess he is already in a hurry. Yes, Boss, we are not the ones collecting grain. If other merchants take the lead, then we are likely to be beaten!" Li Niu said in a decent manner, and indeed pulled Wei Ming out of the bed come out.Wei Ming sighed.If Li Niu could say this, it would be a strange thing.Guess it was Fatty Wang who made it bad again.Wang Daqing is Fatty Wang.Wei Ming even wondered if this guy also traveled through time.How to call what name.Did he also know that the Great Qing Dynasty would follow?

"All right, all right, don't call me mournful, tell Fatty Wang to wait a while, I'll be right there!" Wei Ming glanced outside, it was still just getting dark.Hey, the people under him are all diligent, and I, the master, have to be diligent too.

Slowly put on clothes and ate a meal.When it was already bright outside, Wei Ming came to the front hall walking around.From afar, I saw Fatty Wang drinking millet porridge, pickles, and steamed buns.

"You don't think of yourself as an outsider!" Wei Ming didn't like Fatty Wang who disturbed his dream.If it weren't for the fact that this guy looks a little scary, he might have already kicked him.

"That's right, Brother Wei, which one of us is with whom?" Fatty Wang didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Wei Ming's words at all.He stuffed half of the steamed stuffed bun into his mouth, and poured half a bowl of porridge into his mouth in one gulp.Use the sleeve to wipe the mouth twice indiscriminately, and the total time is the blink of an eye.Wei Ming couldn't help sighing, no wonder this guy is so fat, it turned out he was made by eating like this.

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

"It's all ready. According to the agreement, I will pay 1 taels, and you will pay 5000 taels. Together, the two of us can receive a lot of food. However, the competition is still very fierce. After all, Our little money is really nothing in the eyes of real rich people." Fatty Wang replied as he followed Wei Ming quickly.Because Wei Ming pulled the government's line, according to the principle of distribution according to work, Wei Ming had to pay a part of the money.Even if Wei Ming was asked to take 1 taels of silver, he still couldn't get it out.

"Okay, let's take people with us and leave! If we collect grain at a high price, they will sell us the grain first!" Wei Ming said.

It is said that the ideal is full, but the reality is the backbone.Wei Ming finally realized the sadness in it now.When Wei Ming appeared in Zhuangzi and started asking everyone to come out to sell grain, few people responded to him at all.The few people who came over occasionally also looked at Wei Ming suspiciously.This made Wei Ming very puzzled.I posted this notice a month ago.When I came, it could be said that the gongs and drums were noisy, and the firecrackers were all fired.Compared with those profiteers, our price is already very reasonable.How come no one cares about it?

Wei Ming turned his head to look at Fatty Wang, who also had a puzzled expression on his face.It is also his first time to engage in food.I've always been a wine merchant.Although grain was harvested, it was not harvested as much as it is now.Grain production has been severely reduced in the past two years, and famines occur at every turn. It is not an easy task to harvest grain and make wine.Moreover, wine merchants dare not collect grain to make wine.Because of the food shortage, who knows when the government will impose a prohibition on you?In that case, it is really going to lose the family.That's why Fatty Wang changed careers decisively and started the business of collecting grain.However, that doesn't seem to be the case now.

After a while, another group of grain collectors came.The banner they play is the Cao family in Shanxi.Wei Ming has a certain understanding of the Cao family.Cao Sanxi, the founder of the Cao family, is also considered a generation of outstanding people. From a small poor man to a generation of giant businessmen, the Cao family even had more than 1000 million taels of silver in its heyday.This is the real home of great merchants.What made Wei Ming even more strange was that after the Cao family came, the people rushed to sell the grain.After inquiring, the money given by Cao's family was not as high as that given by his side.This made Wei Ming and Fatty Wang confused.Are these people stupid?Can't even make money?
