Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 70 The first confrontation
When Wang Ping took Tieping and Zhao Hao to visit Nanshi, they found that many people were waiting for the rice store to open with baskets or cloth bags, but the opening time of the rice store had already passed.

Wang Pingan knew that the grain shortage had broken out ahead of time, so he went to the palace to discuss the plan with Wang Shouren again, and several other major grain merchants came to him soon.

Wang Shouren said viciously: "This time I want to let them accompany me to the bottom, hehe..."

"Calm down, calm down, Uncle Wang, keep smiling when you see them." Wang Ping'an reminded.

"Haha, what Ping'an said is exactly, it's for the sake of the old man, haha..." Wang Shouren laughed.

While several people were chatting, the butler Lao Wang trotted into the hall with an invitation card in his hand, and saluted Wang Shouren: "Master, the owners of Zhangji Rice Grain Shop and other rice grain shops in Luoyang invite you to come Go to the banquet in Jueweilou."

After speaking, Old Wang handed the invitation to Wang Shouren.

Wang Pingan looked at the invitation card, which was bright red, bordered with financial paint, with two characters written in block letters in the middle, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, if you really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there soon."

"Isn't it, haha..." Wang Shouren also laughed out loud.

"Uncle Wang, just condescend, go there and tell them that your food will arrive in three days, and you can accidentally disclose the price." Wang Pingan gave Wang Shouren a look.

"The old man understands that it will definitely make them sleepless today." Wang Shouren said firmly.

"Uncle, let's go."

"Nephew also want to go together?"

"Yes, let's go to Juewei Building together. I want to eavesdrop next door to see what plans they have, or who is involved." Wang Pingan said.

Wang Shouren was right to think about it, let Wang Pingan know more, maybe he can come up with a better way to deal with these profiteers, so he said: "That's good, you know more, and you can grasp the overall situation better."

After a while, Wang Pingan brought Zhao Hao, Tieping and Wang Shouren to the Juewei Tower.

As soon as Wang Pingan and Tie Ping walked into the Juewei Building, the waiter in the restaurant immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "Grandfather, you are here, please sit up quickly, and the young one will invite the shopkeeper right away."

Before Wang Ping'an could refuse, Xiao Er had already introduced Wang Ping'an and others to sit in Zhao Yiba's previous seat, started to wipe the table without saying a word, and then went to invite the shopkeeper.

Wang Ping'an was really speechless by Xiaoer's enthusiasm, and thought: "You are so enthusiastic, I don't know how to open my mouth."

Wang Shouren next to him looked at Wang Ping'an with curious eyes, and said, "Grandfather, Ping'an, what's going on? Also, this seat seems to belong to Zhao Yiba. Why would you be allowed to sit there? Jueweilou is not afraid of Zhao Yiba." Do you have a master?"

"Haha..." Wang Pingan smiled and said, "Brother Tieping, tell Uncle Wang what happened."

"It's the young master." Tieping cupped his hands to Wang Shouren and said, "Master Wang, in fact, Zhao Yiba has already been sent to prison by the young master, and he will be executed after autumn."

Tieping made a beheading motion.

Wang Shouren was startled when he saw it, and he was also surprised when he heard it, and said, "No, isn't the magistrate and Zhao Yiba wearing a pair of pants? Why did you kill your relatives this time?"

"Haha... Uncle Wang, your news is behind, and the county magistrate has also been sent to death row, and will be executed together with Zhao Yiba after Qiuhou."

"Really, that's really great. Luoyang has one less tyrant, and the people would have a better life. I didn't expect those profiteers to destroy this hard-won good life." Wang Shouren was first happy that Luoyang had one less tyrant, and then He also resented that those profiteers were about to drive up food prices.

"Uncle Wang, it's okay, it's only a few days, those profiteers will pay the price." Wang Ping'an comforted.

"That's right, those profiteers must be made to pay the price."

Seeing the shopkeeper of Jueweilou coming, Wang Pingan looked into Wang Shouren's desperate eyes and told him that someone was coming and told him to shut up.

In the middle of Wang Shouren's speech, seeing Wang Ping'an blink desperately, he asked concerned: "Nephew, what's wrong with your eyes, did you get sand?"

Wang Pingan, Zhao Hao and Tieping staggered and almost lay down on the ground when they heard this.

Wang Pingan thought: "You are stupid, didn't you notice my hint to you, someone is here, I really don't know how you got into the rich man."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Wang Pingan saw that blinking was useless, and he was tired from blinking, so he changed it to a coughing sound.

"What's the matter, I just recovered from the discomfort in my eyes just now, why did I cough this time, and did my throat feel uncomfortable?" Wang Shouren asked again.

After listening, the three of Wang Ping'an staggered again, lying on the ground and waiting for others.

Wang Pingan thought: "Forget it, I really didn't know that Uncle Wang became the biggest grain merchant in Luoyang."

Fortunately, before the shopkeeper approached, he started to say loudly: "Grandpa, you are here, and the little one has already prepared the kitchen for wine and food. Please move to the private room of this restaurant."

"You're being polite, the shopkeeper. Uncle Wang is here for the banquet, and it's in the Tianzihao box. If possible, please arrange for the three of us to sit next to their box."

"No problem, please go upstairs."

Wang Ping'an and Liu Tie came to the box of the local shop.It is connected to Tianzihao box.

"Thank you shopkeeper, you can go to work first, I will call you if there is something to do."

"Okay, young master, please eat and drink well. I have a small treat today."

"Then it's going to cost the shopkeeper a fee, how can you be ashamed." Wang Pingan said politely.

"Should be, should be, the young master not only helped Jueweilou drive away this big villain, but also eliminated a harm for the common people. If others find out that the young one took money from benefactor, then he will definitely be happy." If you are scolded to death, it will be difficult for Jueweilou to open in Luoyang." The shopkeeper explained.

"That's it, then respect is worse than obedience, thank you shopkeeper." Wang Pingan said politely again.

"Should be, should be, benefactor please take a seat and rest first, the food and drink will be served soon." After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper went downstairs to continue to settle accounts.

"The young master has made a movement, those grain merchants have arrived." Zhao Hao said.Several of them have practiced dancing, and their hearing is extraordinary.

"Uncle Wang, I'm sorry to trouble you, please try to cover their words as much as possible."

"It's on the old man." Wang Shouren said and left.

After Wang Shouren went out, Tie Ping quickly closed the doors and windows.Wang Pingan quickly put his ear on the wall connected to the Tianzi box, and began to eavesdrop on their meeting.

After Wang Shouren went out from Dizihao, he went directly into Tianzihao's room.

"I've met Boss Wang." When Zhang's boss saw Wang Shouren, he called Boss Wang politely.

"Isn't this Boss Zhang? I've met Boss Zhang. Who are these?" Wang Pingan replied.

"The old man would like to introduce to you, this person is Yang Xin, the future helm of Yangji rice and grain store, this is Luoyu, their family sells silk, this is Zhao Wen, the helm of Zhao's rice and grain store people."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you." Wang Shouren said politely, cupping his hands.

"I have admired your name for a long time, I have admired your name for a long time." The other three all cupped their hands.

"Boss Zhang, what are you talking about with this old man?" Wang Shouren asked directly to the point.

"Hehe. Boss Wang, please sit down and have a glass of water and wine before chatting." Boss Zhang laughed.

"No, it's better to say that it's formal. Unexplained wine is not so delicious." Wang Shouren said very bluntly.

"Hiss, good wine. Boss Wang, don't waste it if you don't taste it. I heard that it is brewed from high-quality grain." Boss Zhang said, holding up the cup in his hand.

"In good wine, you have to drink it with a sense of harmony, so as not to turn into poisonous wine that can kill people after drinking it."

"Boss Wang really likes to joke. Boss Zhang asked me to wait here today, of course it is an important matter to negotiate." Yang Xin said.

"Important matter, what else can be negotiated, the old man's Wang Ji Rice Grain Store has all the grain bought by Boss Zhang, so what can I say." Wang Shouren pretended to be angry.

"I'm sorry, Boss Wang, we are also talking about business, in order to expand the business of our grain merchant." Boss Zhang said.

"Oh. Make it big, how to make it big." Wang Shouren said pretending to be very interested.

"It's not impossible to tell Boss Wang, but I have to wait to confirm whether Boss Wang has collected enough food." Boss Zhang asked.

Wang Shouren pretended to be silent for a while, and said in his heart, "Here we come, we come here, finally we have a good idea to ask."

Wang Pingan, who was next door, became suspicious of Luo Yu, one of the four of them. How did a silk seller get involved in the grain business.

When Wang Shouren was silent, the four of them looked at him nervously. Whether Wang Shouren had food directly affected their drive-up of food prices.

"Yes." Wang Shouren said loudly.

"How many, where are you now?" Boss Zhang asked.

"Many, on the road, probably within a few days." Wang Shouren replied.

"Boss Wang, since you still have food, we are willing to buy your batch of food at a price that is two levels higher than the market price. Can you sell it to us?"

"Two layers, I don't have enough shipping."

"Fifty percent."

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, don't talk about official business at the dinner table." Wang Shouren is very leisurely now and not nervous at all. Instead, he plays the role of the host and asks everyone to eat together.

Boss Zhang saw that Wang Shouren didn't take [-]% of the profit at all, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Boss Wang's price is already very high," said Boss Zhang.

"Are you out of food? Why are you so anxious to want the food I just bought? They haven't delivered it yet? That's right. I saw many rice shops closed on the road today. Is that your shop? .”

"Yes. It's our point. Our food has been sold out." Boss Zhang and others said with a sad face.

"It shouldn't be. Didn't you buy all my grain? That's more than 200 million shi of grain. It's unreasonable to sell it out in just a few days." Wang Shouren said curiously.

"It's not sold out, it's burned, it was burned yesterday, haven't you heard of it?"

Wang Shouren shook his head and said he didn't know.
