Chapter 38 Revenge
Wei Ming has always thought that he is not a person who holds grudges, because he usually avenges grudges.I was bullied to the top this time, so what else can I say, of course I did it.Those who hate themselves will never let them have a good time.

After Wei Ming briefly explained the situation, Fatty Wang frowned tightly. The situation is a bit complicated now.It would be a very unwise choice to oppose the merchants on both sides of the Huaihe River.Now Wei Ming can be said to be an outsider here, and he doesn't even have a place to stay. Why should he fight against the Huaihe families that have long been entrenched here?And according to Fatty Wang's understanding of Wei Ming, Wei Ming would definitely not just let it go.Wei Ming is definitely a person who takes revenge.Even if others don't provoke him, he will always think of cheating others.If someone came to provoke him, it was basically the same as stabbing a hornet's nest.Even if it's a fight to the death, you have to fight to the death.So, this matter is much more complicated.

"Brother Wei, what are your plans?" Fatty Wang decided that it would be better to find out what Wei Ming meant first.Otherwise, it would be bad to be self-defeating.

"What else can I plan, of course, I want to do something for them. It's best if the family is destroyed and the wife and children are separated." Wei Ming said flatly.But it made Fatty Wang break out in cold sweat.I really didn't realize before that Wei Ming's heart was so dark.If you don't make a move, it's fine. If you make a move, it's almost death or injury.

"Brother Wei, let's get to know the situation first." Fatty Wang thought for a while and explained the situation here to Wei Ming first.Otherwise, if Wei Ming really made some radical moves, it would be bad.

"Okay, tell me." Wei Ming's understanding of this aspect is indeed not as good as Fatty Wang's.Hear what Fatty Wang means first, so that he can formulate the strategy behind.

"Brother Wei, our foundation here is not stable. Besides, if we really face them head-on, we won't have the slightest advantage. It is very likely that the merchants on both sides of the Huaihe River will be shocked. We are bored, so we joined hands to drive us out from both sides of the Huaihe River. In that case, the loss outweighs the gain." Although Fatty Wang tried to make Wei Ming feel better with a kind of euphemism, the fact is like this, and he wants to say It is not possible to be more euphemistic.In the end, he could only look at Wei Ming in embarrassment, waiting for Wei Ming's reaction.

"What are you thinking? We are talking about business. We are all businessmen, so we have to use the businessman's method to confront them, instead of using that dirty method like them. I don't bother to use that method. "Wei Ming said confidently.

"Brother Wei, what do you want to do?" Fatty Wang said without knowing why.Although he has been in business for many years, he still doesn't quite understand the above principles.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so many years, and it was just walking in place, and the assets were just ruined.In the era of prosperous commerce in the late Ming Dynasty, there were quite a few people with assets in the hundreds of thousands or millions.Fatty Wang can only be said to be a businessman, not a successful businessman.And what Wei Ming needs is just such a person.If he is better than Wei Ming in every aspect, why does Wei Ming want him here?Do you hire yourself a leader?

"Last night, I thought about it. The merchants on both sides of the Huaihe River are more or less connected with the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party has begun to take shape in power. We want to use the government's brand to overwhelm them. It is unrealistic. In the end, it is very likely that others will overwhelm us. And we don’t have much food in our hands now. It is unrealistic to overwhelm them with food prices. Therefore, we need to rely on external forces " Wei Ming said mysteriously.Fatty Wang was completely confused.

"Brother Wei, what do you mean? Why can't I understand? How come there is external force? Where does our external force come from? Is there anything else we can rely on?" Fatty Wang asked suspiciously.Fatty Wang feels that what Wei Ming can rely on now is the power of the government.And the government has been helping Wei Ming, and Wei Ming has been seeking help from the local government.The cooperation has always been very good.As soon as he came up, Wei Ming cut off the government.Is there anything else I can use?

"What do you think, on both sides of the Huaihe River, which businessman makes the most money?" Wei Ming asked.When it was time to mention Fatty Wang, Wei Ming certainly couldn't be stingy.This is to pave the way for myself to be a hands-off shopkeeper in the future.Otherwise, Fatty Wang, a businessman who can only do business for about ten thousand taels of silver, how can he be of great use in the future?

"Of course it's a grain merchant!" Fatty Wang said without hesitation.Isn't this obvious?Otherwise, why would we sell food?
"I mean before? Let's put it this way, why is Lianghuai so short of food?" Wei Ming continued to guide.

"Of course it's because the weather has been getting colder and colder in the past few years, natural disasters have continued, and the entire Daming's grain production has decreased, so there is a food shortage!" Fatty Wang said it as a matter of course, and Wei Ming's head was full of black lines.Fatty Wang, how did you earn that 1 taels of silver before, I am deeply suspicious now.

"Well, let me tell you directly that Suzhou and Hangzhou were originally a land of fish and rice. As the saying goes, if Suzhou and Hangzhou are cooked, the world is full. But due to the development of the commodity industry, the commercial profits have made people amazed and envious. So, more Many people choose to make a fortune from business. The entire Suzhou and Hangzhou area began to raise silkworms and grow cotton, and develop the silk weaving and cotton textile industries. This made the Suzhou and Hangzhou area, which was originally a large granary, become an area that required huge consumption. The grain area. Especially after the implementation of the one-whip law, the country only collects money but not grain, which further promotes the development of commerce. Bold people are willing to do some business and make a lot of money. So, you understand Why is there a shortage of food in Suzhou and Hangzhou? Who is the richest in the two Huaihe Rivers?" Wei Ming talked eloquently, feeling that he was a genius.

"Oh, I see. The silk weaving and cotton textile industries are so developed, of course those who do these are the ones who make the most money. And the grain merchants are just a whim. Am I right, Brother Wei?" Wang said. The fat man's eyes lit up.Thinking about it, this is indeed the case.Even those who originally engaged in the textile industry sold grain, but the quantity must be very small.Before the arrival of this year's grain shortage, it is estimated that the market has already been occupied by grain merchants before they have realized it.They are also victims here.They also have to spend sky-high prices to buy food.No matter who it is, it won't feel good.

"You're smart." Wei Ming said dryly, took a sip of tea and continued, "What we have to do now is to unite with those big merchants engaged in the textile industry to jointly suppress grain prices, and I have to go to Zhu You I've been wandering around the school, and I guess he can help in this regard."

"But, Brother Wei, we don't have much food, and those who are engaged in the textile industry don't have much food either. How can we suppress the price of food?" Fatty Wang still doesn't understand. Things that have nothing to do with horses and cows.

"Of course not. The food price we control now is low enough. If we can continue as it is now, it will be enough for those food people to eat a pot. And those who are engaged in the textile industry, we want to divide and disintegrate the two The first step of the Huai merchants. They occupy a very high position here. If they can be allowed to stand on our side, how dare those grain merchants do anything to us? Moreover, this is also an opportunity for trade-offs. It can weaken the opponent and strengthen oneself, why not do it together? As for the food price, it depends on Zhu Youxiao." Wei Ming said.

"Zhu Youxiao? Who is Zhu Youxiao?" Fatty Wang asked without knowing why.

"Oh, I won't talk to you about this for now. You should contact the people in the textile industry in Lianghuai first. It's time to talk to them." Wei Ming said a little excitedly.Originally, he thought that after selling the grain, the situation of grain shortage in Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers could be brought under control, and he could earn a fortune himself, that would be enough.However, some people don't let you live comfortably.Since it doesn't make me comfortable, then everyone should not be comfortable.

Originally, the situation in the two Huaihe Rivers was like a pool of muddy water. All the struggles were hidden above the water level, and nothing could be seen from the surface.However, the grain merchants in the Huaihe River threw a stone into the muddy water, and the wind and waves suddenly came from the water to the water.When conflicts are intensified, it depends on who dies in whose hands in the end.
