Chapter 27 The War Begins

That night, Wei Ming and Qin Yuxin chatted until midnight, Wei Ming said it sounded interesting, but Qin Yuxin didn't understand or didn't want to listen, and the two of them came to have a drink when they had nothing to do, and the result was so unknowingly Drank too much.When Fatty Wang found Wei Ming in Qin Yuxin's room in the morning, he opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff an apple.

"What's the matter with you, you have such a big mouth, you have nothing to do in the morning, right? Get me a basin of water." Wei Ming opened the door, stretched his waist, and saw Fatty Wang staring at the door with his mouth wide open.

"Here, two men are okay?" Fatty Wang walked away muttering.It took me a while to think about it, and I wanted to ask Wei Ming for a theory.Why does it seem that my status is getting lower and lower now?I'm not here to do odd jobs, okay?But when he tried to find Wei Ming again, he found that the door had already been closed.I can only shake my head, wanting to find a substitute, such as Xiaodongzi to fetch water.It turned out that no one could be found, so I had to do it myself.

Three days later, the transaction went very smoothly.When Fatty Wang and Wei Ming looked at the boxes of white silver, their eyeballs almost fell to the ground.This is the first bucket of gold earned by the two of them working together.Even if they return to Shaanxi now, they will make a lot of money.Fatty Wang is also thinking about it.

"I said, Brother Wei, why don't we just let Qin Yuxin distribute the food to the victims, we've already made a lot of money this time." To be honest, Fatty Wang was very fond of Qin Yuxin, a bandit who was exuding violent tendencies all over his body. Still very scared.If giving the rest of the food to Qin Yuxin can calm Qin Yuxin down, it would be a good deal.

"What are you thinking about, what are we here for this time?" Wei Ming said disdainfully.Look at how promising Fatty Wang is.The 2 stones were used to trap big households, and the remaining [-] stones were used to rescue victims.It is unrealistic to rely on these tens of thousands of shi of grain to save the victims on both sides of the Qinhuai River.But it doesn't mean that it is impossible to use these tens of thousands of stones of grain to hook out the real big head.

"Here for business." Fatty Wang replied honestly.

"Distributing all the food, is that still called buying and selling?" Wei Ming glanced at Fatty Wang and said.Fatty Wang didn't say anything more, but he defined Wei Ming in his heart: Wei Ming is definitely a more treacherous profiteer than himself.What Fatty Wang couldn't understand even more was that Qin Yuxin saw all this, but remained indifferent, and didn't care what Wei Ming was doing.It is understandable for him not to understand.Because Wei Ming had reached an agreement with Qin Yuxin that night, if you don't listen to my explanation, well, let's see the final result.If you are dissatisfied, kill and scrape as you please.

Soon, half a month passed.The lives of the people on both sides of the Qinhuai River have become even more difficult.According to historical records, Yang Sichang, the Rating Department, said: Merchant ships can't wait for Guanmi, shops are almost closed, and small people are trying to make it easy.Food prices rose rapidly.And the merchants who control the grain in their hands have also begun to take action.Limited supply every day.If you come late, then you have to wait for a full day of hunger and come back tomorrow.At this time, Wei Ming also took action.

Wei Ming came to the magistrate's residence and asked the magistrate to issue an announcement saying that Wei Ming was an agent of the government and that Wei Ming would sell grain at a par price.This is simply putting gold on the prefect's face!Of course the prefect is willing.These days, because of the food shortage, his hair has already turned gray.To ask those businessmen to lower the price of food, they would not take any notice at all. He is a big businessman, a rich man, and there are people in the court.For example, the rise of the Donglin Party was backed by the Jiangnan gentry.If all the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River were offended, then the prefect of Suzhou, who was of the fourth grade, really couldn't afford to be offended.It is even more impossible to ask the prefect of Suzhou to provide money and food to relieve the victims.It's not because the prefect of Suzhou is unwilling, but because he has no money at all!Since the implementation of the one-whip rule, the original tax grains have become tax money.Now the whole country is supporting the Liaodong front, and the money is long gone.More than enough heart but not enough strength ah!Wei Ming came to the door now, it was like sleepy sending pillows!Giving charcoal in the snow is always more cherished than icing on the cake.The prefect of Suzhou can be regarded as remembering Wei Ming's favor this time.

With the official documents, everything will be easy to handle.Weiming is also available for a limited time and in limited quantities.A person can buy at most one bucket of rice a day.A bucket of rice weighs about twelve catties.This is also considering that the current population is relatively large, and it is impossible for people to line up to buy rice every day.If the family has a large population, it will be enough to feed for two or three days.At the time when this time was set, Fatty Wang and Wei Ming had a disagreement.It is said that the set is a bit high.After all, only one-third of the rice can be bought from other large households.In the end, Wei Ming couldn't convince Fatty Wang, so he could only use a high-pressure policy, saying, "I'm free to arrange it." Fatty Wang was completely suffocated immediately.

"Wei Ming? Is that Wei Ming again? Didn't he say that there is only [-] shi of grain?" The head of the Li family was about to jump into the river in anger.It was a bright prospect, but this kid Wei Ming was completely ruined.Now fewer and fewer people come to them to buy food.They have so much food in their hands, but they can't sell it, can they not be troubled?
"He made it clear that he came to cheat us. Damn it, if he does this again, I will never let him get out of Suzhou City!" The Patriarch of the Zhao family knocked on the table to express his inner feelings. dissatisfied.

"I've given him 6 taels of silver, and this kid is still not satisfied. We should also beat him. Let him know who is in charge of this city of Suzhou." The head of the Qian family twirled the beads , said slowly.

"Forget it, let's see the situation first. According to their sales method, how many days can they still sell? Let him brag for a few days. When he runs out of food, let's see what he can use to show off." Finally, the old man of the Wang family Come out and knock on the board.The old man of the Wang family said so, and others can't refute it, they can only wait and see.

"Have they lowered the price?" Wei Ming asked while drinking tea.

"Brother Wei, the price we set is two taels of silver a stone, and people who come here have filled up our rice shop. However, other rice shops still insist on the price of three taels of silver a stone." Fatty Wang replied.Ordinarily, there are no people in other shops, so why haven't they lowered their prices?

"Hmph, they just think that we don't have that much food to support consumption." Wei Ming said.He didn't expect the other party to let go at the beginning.After all, the grain in the hands of those merchants was collected at a high price.If it is sold at a low price, I can't even cover the capital, so what's the deal.

"That's right, brother Wei, our food is indeed consumed very quickly. If we really sell it like this, we really can't last long." Fatty Wang reminded.The current food is gold, and now it is not here to buy, but to grab it!People took a lot of money to grab food!
"It's all right. It will be of great use to free up [-] shi of grain from our grain storage," Wei Ming said.If they want to jump into the trap by themselves, it seems that they have to increase the bait!
"Okay Brother Wei." Fatty Wang nodded and agreed.

"By the way, tomorrow, as long as you kneel at our door and wish Wei Dashan a long life, thank you Master Qingtian, the prefect of Suzhou, then you can have a bowl of porridge. It doesn't matter how thin it is for me, it doesn't matter if you can't see the rice." Wei Ming thought for a while and added.

"Brother Wei, this is slapping us in the face! Is this okay?" Fatty Wang said with some uncertainty.

"You can do it if you are told, that's right." Wei Ming said with certainty.Now, the war between me and the businessmen in Suzhou has just begun!
