Contract Wife Runs away from the CEO

Vol 1000 Chapter 1308: Fanwai: The town is weird

First, people in this town and the surrounding villages really cannot leave casually. This is completely different from what the information says, because their ancestral tomb is here, so they can’t leave. In other words, the people who refused to relocate at the beginning lied to the people of the GF-112 project. It's not that they don't want to move out, but they can't move out.

Second, the Zhang family is the ruler of the town, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. It has not been known for many generations. In other words, since the establishment of the town, the Zhang family has controlled the initiative and the right to speak. The so-called blessing of gods may be a cover. In other words, the Zhang family are brainwashing people in the town. The Zhang family most likely mastered a channel to the outside world, but kept the secret strictly and did not let others know.

Third, most of the products from the outside world here are brought in by the Zhang family from outside. Because there are few things, the market is tight, and here is a few decades behind the outside. It may also be because the Zhang family bought a car that could not be shipped in, or they could not afford it at all. It can be guessed that the passage to the outside world is very narrow and difficult to pass.

Fourth, the people here actually yearn for the outside world. As long as they are given a perfect excuse and opportunity, they will agree to relocate.

Mi Xiaoying watched Zhang Family San's young master leave on a bicycle and greeted Yin Yinuo and said to Jing Shaohuai: "Come on, assign a task. Shaohuai, you go to find out the taboos here, such as why you can't leave here. Yinuo, you go to find out what happened to the Zhang Family’s blessings? Who will do the blessing? What is the content of the blessing? I’ll find out about the price level here, and guess the economic strength of the Zhang family."

"Okay." Yin Yinuo and Jing Shaohuai nodded immediately, and the three moved separately.

Mi Xiaoying was fortunate that she carried a lot of banknotes when she came.

I thought that in modern society, after everyone got used to electronic payment, there was no chance to use banknotes.

Unexpectedly, it was of great use here.

I am thankful again that I have the habit of hoarding.

Mi Xiaoying walked along the road and found a shop with a sign. She saw that it sold some simple items, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and needles.

Mi Xiaoying bought a roll of needlework and a bottle of vinegar at random, and looked at it. It was produced by an unknown small factory. The label on the outside has been torn off, but the plastic used for vinegar is a proper modern craftsmanship.

Presumably the Zhang family bought this from a small shop outside, right?

"Boss, I want to ask you something. Where are the grain shops and vegetable shops here?" Mi Xiaoying handed over a handful of melon seeds very consciously, with a chattering look.

"It's on the street next door." The boss was really happy to see Mi Xiaoying being so polite, and said: "You want to buy food and food? How much do you want?"

"Boss, do you have it here too?" Mi Xiaoying grasped the point.

"There are some, but I sell less." The boss took out a bag and said, "This is coarse grains, which cost 30 cents a catty. Fine grains cost 50 cents a catty! Look at the quality, it's definitely new grain from last year."

Mi Xiaoying pretended to be shopping, and after asking about the price one by one, she said to think about it and left.

I found other food shops and vegetable shops, and after inquiring about the prices, I quickly converted it in my heart.

The food crops here are mainly wheat, corn, soybeans, millet, sorghum, sweet potatoes, and occasionally some miscellaneous grains such as mung beans and red beans. Vegetables are mainly cabbage and radish potatoes, with very few other varieties.

In terms of price, the prices of food and vegetables here are extremely low.

Mi Xiaoying has learned about the price of grain outside. The dried wheat has reached two yuan per catty, and the corn has reached three yuan per catty.

The price of wheat here is 50 cents a catty, and corn is 30 cents a catty.

If it can be poured out, the profit will be considerable!

Although the amount of land here has not been counted, the town can feed five thousand people, and the people here are poor, but their mental outlook is not bad, presumably the amount of land will not be small, otherwise, the food will definitely not be enough.

The ironware here is more expensive, regardless of the catty, but the piece.

Basically, a **** costs hundreds of yuan, while the outside world only costs more than a dozen yuan.

This entry and exit are all profits.

As a boss in the business world, Mi Xiaoying has keenly sensed the problem.

If the guess is true, then the Zhang family is really a cow!

After so many years, you should have saved a lot of family assets, right?

While thinking about it, Yin Yinuo and Jing Shaohuai came back.

"How is it?" Mi Xiaoying asked.

"Fortunately, it was me who went on the horse, otherwise I might not be able to find out." Jing Shaohuai was drunk, but his eyes were bright, and he was obviously not drunk at all.

"I just found a local young man who doesn't give birth, and asked him to drink a bottle of Erguotou, and he told me all about it." Jing Shaohuai was a little proud, and said, "This matter should start from Chongzhen's body. Do you remember when the Qing army entered the customs? Before the Qing army entered the customs, the country was full of loopholes and the people were not living. The name of this town is Liushenzhen. From this name, you can tell it, mainly It is a town managed by the six major surnames. Back then, the six families named Li, Zhang, Wang, Liu, Chen, and Zhao fled here with their families for refuge. They were originally from the same village, because It was so bad that the six of them survived."

"After coming to this place, there was really no banditry. They lived here temporarily for fear of being thrown off by someone. They accidentally discovered that the soil here is particularly fertile and the crops grown here are particularly good. So they just Decided to establish a village here and don’t leave. After a hundred years of multiplication, a village with only a few dozen people has suddenly developed into a large village with hundreds of people.” Jing Shaohuai said: “These surnames suddenly came into being. In order to fight for the land, some people said that they should separate their families altogether and stop being together, so they separated and established their own villages, such as Lijiacun, Zhangjiacun, and Liujiacun. Later, the population increased. Many. In order to facilitate communication, a town was built in the middle of the village, named Liushen Town."

Mi Xiaoying and Yin Yinuo both felt unable to complain about this name.

"Are you all talking about the name of this town? Hehe, I wanted to talk about it at first, but later on, I will know why the name is called." Jing Shaohuai said; "This is because, more than 300 years ago Some people are tired of the life here and want to leave here and return to the outside world. As a result, they died on the roadside before they went out. When they were discovered, they were already exhausted. At this time, some people did not believe in evil and thought Going out, a few died. They thought that they were cursed by God, and their children and grandchildren could not get out of this place for life. So they prayed to their surname gods and bless their children and grandchildren. The result was magical. Someone in the Zhang family tried to go out, but he didn't die and came back alive! So they thought that the gods of each family were protecting them. Because there were six surnames in total, they named Liushen Town!"

Yin Yinuo frowned: "Why do you sound like a god-stick?"

Mi Xiaoying nodded in agreement: "This technique is indeed artificial. However, how did they manage to make people who go out to die?"

Jing Shaohuai waved his hand and said: "This is not important. The important thing is that the people here really believe it! Then it has been passed down from generation to generation. Except for those who have been blessed by the gods, no one dares to leave this place."

"How many people have been blessed so far?" Mi Xiaoying asked.

"Hey, Sister Xiaoying is so smart, and she thought of the key at once." Jing Shaohuai said, "So far, fewer than ten people in the village have been blessed.",

"Are these ten people all from Zhang's family?" Mi Xiaoying asked.

"Sister Xiaoying guessed right again!" Jing Shaohuai said with a smile: "Every generation of the Zhang family will have a person blessed by the gods, and he can freely go in and out of here and the outside world."

Yin Yinuo didn't know what to say: "Isn't this an obvious scam? This family's so-called **** blessing should be a gimmick made by them themselves. They raised other people here like pigs. ?"

"I guessed that too." Jing Shaohuai said, "I want to see their temple, but that person will not let me go. He said that people with foreign surnames cannot go."

Yin Yinuo said: "The news I have heard is similar to that of Shaohuai. A large-scale sacrificial activity is held here every twenty years. One of the contents is to receive the blessings of the gods. Those selected by the gods, They will be sent to the temple. Those who receive the blessing can enter and exit smoothly. However, the content of the blessing cannot be inquired, and it is obviously confidential. The blessing person is the blessed person of the previous generation. It's passed on from generation to generation."

Mi Xiaoying said, "The Zhang family has been blessed for so many years, and no one else has any doubts about the nuances in it?"

"Who knows?" Yin Yinuo said, "Now the Zhang Family is the most powerful family in Liushen Town. Zhang Family Village has nothing to do with the Zhang Family in the town. In other words, five servers have already been released. , It’s not a direct line anymore. From three hundred years ago, the Zhang family in the town broke away from Zhangjiacun and formed a separate line. Now the Zhang family has five sons and two daughters. Among them, the third sons of the Zhang family are free to come and go. . Others can’t.”

Mi Xiaoying nodded and said; "I just investigated the price level here and found an interesting phenomenon. The prices of the things produced here are very low, and the prices of the things that are not produced here are higher than those sold outside. Times. Obviously this is an industrial chain of reselling and buying. Buy the crops here at low prices, sell them to the outside at high prices, and then purchase goods at low prices from the outside, sell them at high prices here, and make a profit from it. The profits are very considerable. Presumably. , This is the reason why the currency here is RMB. Because only a unified currency can facilitate transactions with outsiders."
