Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 132
"First take out some food and distribute it for free to attract more refugees. When there are more and more refugees, then look at the right time and raise the price little by little."

Zuo Hongji is a businessman, and he instantly understood Li Canghai's meaning, "Brother Li means to put a long line to catch big fish!"

Wang Buquan didn't understand. He always only valued the immediate benefits. To him, the white money is the real thing.

Zuo Hongji hurriedly said to him: "Brother Li means that we are too hasty and should proceed step by step. We raised the price too high, causing refugees to flee to other places, and the refugees in Zhengyang City will only increase. The less we have, the less we can sell our food. However, if it is distributed free of charge in the name of disaster relief, more refugees will come. At that time, if the price is raised a little bit, we will die Eat and live all the refugees to death."

The more Zuo Hongji talked, the more excited he became, and his eyes began to shine.

This method of raising prices layer by layer is perfect here.

Refugees fleeing, the first solution is food and clothing.

First distribute it to them for free. In a few days, the refugees will become dependent. At this time, raise the price a little, which is still within the tolerance of the refugees. Wait for a few days to sell within this range, and increase it again. , although the refugees are somewhat resentful, they will still buy.

If this continues, as long as they guarantee a suitable price, all refugees will continue to flow into Zhengyang. This method is definitely more feasible than selling grain at a high price before.

The most important thing is that in this way, not only did they sell the hot relief food, they made money, but they also gained a good reputation.

Such a method of killing three birds with one stone, why didn't I think of it!Thinking of this, Zuo Hongji immediately admired Li Canghai.

After Zuo Hongji's explanation, Wang Buquan also understood, he patted Li Canghai's shoulder excitedly, and praised: "Brother Li, you are still smart, this method, even if I want to break my head, I can't think of it." come out."

"Actually, the truth is very simple, it's just that the two of you didn't notice it." Li Canghai said modestly, but he sneered at him in his heart. These two people only care about themselves and don't care about other people's life or death. Nausea.

However, regurgitation belongs to nausea, this play still needs to be performed.

"It's not too late, let's prepare for disaster relief tomorrow. Remember to spread the reputation of disaster relief, so as to attract more refugees to Zhengyang." Li Canghai patted the grain bag, squinted his eyes, and said deeply .

"Leave this matter to me, Mr. Wang, and I'll let them prepare steamed buns in rice soup." Wang Buquan's eyes lit up, and he was even a little impatient.

After all, these disaster relief food is really hot.

Wang Buquan stayed and ordered everyone to prepare food, Zuo Hongji took Li Canghai back to Zuo Zhai.

"Brother Zuo, how long have you known County Captain Wang?" Li Canghai asked casually with his hands in his sleeves.

With a big belly, Zuo Hongji hummed a ditty all the way, in a very good mood, as if he had already forgotten that there was a funeral at home.

"Brother Wang and I have known each other for two years. At that time, when I was out to do business, I was robbed by bandits and nearly died. It was Brother Wang who drove away the bandits and rescued me."

At this moment, Chang Feng, who was following behind him, stopped suddenly, but then followed up again.

Li Canghai glanced at him from the corner of his eye, knowing it in his heart, so he said to Zuo Hongji calmly, "In this way, the relationship between the two must be very good."

"That's natural. All the casinos and brothels in Zhengyang City are funded and built by me, and Brother Wang is in charge of managing them. We share the money we earn [-]-[-]. Brother Li, don't look at Zhengyang City as small. But it's all in the hands of Brother Wang, so you don't have to worry too much about selling relief food." Zuo Hongji said triumphantly.

While talking, the three of them returned to the left house.

Thinking of his wife still in front of the morgue, Zuo Hongji squeezed out a few tears, cupped his hands at Li Canghai, and trotted over.

Li Canghai and Chang Feng walked to the gazebo in the garden. At this time, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the lantern on the gazebo was shaken from side to side by the wind.

"Just now I saw that you looked different, but you found something? It's quiet and no one is here, so you can tell." Sitting on the stone bench, Li Canghai said lightly.

Chang Feng stood aside, hesitated for a while, and said seriously: "My lord, you pretend to do business with them, are you trying to get rid of Wang Buquan?"

Li Canghai glanced around, let him sit down, and said calmly: "Since you have already seen it, then I will not hide it from you. Yes, I just want to get rid of Wang Buquan's cancer."

Hearing this, Chang Feng immediately knelt down, clasped his fists with both hands, raised his head above his head, and said solemnly: "My lord, if you can get rid of Wang Buquan, Chang Feng is willing to swear to die with you!"

Li Canghai nodded, "Get up first, I have something to ask you."

"My lord, do you believe in villains?" Chang Feng knelt on the ground and said in surprise.He seemed unable to believe that Li Canghai would really believe him.

"It's the first time this official has taken office, and you are the only one who can be used under him. If you don't believe in you, who else can you trust?"

Chang Feng immediately burst into tears of gratitude, he clasped his fists tightly and said: "With what the adults say, the villain must only follow the adults!"

Li Canghai raised his hand and told him to stand up to speak. He really couldn't bear to see others kneel down for him.

"Let me ask you, how much power does Wang Buquan have in Zhengyang City?"

"My lord, Wang Buquan is in Zhengyang City. There are three gambling houses and two brothels, and all the ruffians in this city are under his control. In addition, more than [-]% of the yamen are also his people." Chang Feng Answer truthfully.

Li Canghai suddenly felt a headache, this Wang Buquan's power is really not small, black and white respect him, if this dark force is not uprooted, his county magistrate will be useless!
"Aside from selling relief food, has he done other evil things?" Li Canghai felt that he needed to collect more evidence.

Chang Feng said indignantly: "Wang Buquan has done too many evil things to record. He exploited the common people, oppressed the good, robbed the daughters of the people, and forced the good into prostitution. What he did is truly outraged!"

"Hey, this Wang Buquan really conforms to the formal standard of the ****! It seems that this dark force has been like this since ancient times!" Li Canghai muttered a few words in his heart.

He pondered, "How much do you know about Zuo Hongji?"

"This man's family is well-off and rich. As he said, most of Wang Buquan's forces are funded by him." Chang Feng paused, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "By the way, I heard that he has a lot of money in his hands." There is a ledger of all the ill-gotten gains they have made."
