Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 74

Wang Ping'an played a play with Wang Shouren yesterday, which was considered to be Wang Shouren's 35 Wangji rice grain stores, and told Zhao Hao and Tieping the second step of the plan last night. They had been busy all night, and everything I went to rest after the arrangements were made.

When Wang Ping'an was busy, Wang Shouren was telling Wang Liang that he had sold the grain he had bought in the past few days to Zhang Ji, and that he had sold 50 taels. Wang Liang and Wang Shouren had a big fight on the spot.

Wang Liang scolded his father as a profiteer who disregarded benevolence and morality in order to make money. Although he did not directly participate in raising food prices, he was considered an accomplice.Wang Shouren finally slapped Wang Liang, causing Wang Liang to skip dinner in anger.

Mrs. Wang next to her was even more at a loss as she watched her husband slap her son, and finally quarreled with Wang Shouren heartbroken.

In Wang Shouren's house, the father and son quarreled first, and then the quarrel between the husband and wife alarmed the servants of the palace and the neighbors. Although Wang Shouren's goal was achieved, one must know how heartbroken Wang Shouren was when Wang Shouren hit Wang Liang. As the saying goes, what hurts the child hurts the father's heart.

And Zhang Ji is settling accounts and discussing the next thing. After two days of rising rice prices, they have already tasted the sweetness, which makes them unable to let go, especially when Wang Shouren earned 50 yuan from them with a mere [-] shi of grain. Ten thousand taels of silver, which made them even more unwilling to let go.

If they wanted to earn back the 50 taels, they had to raise the price of rice again, from the current price of [-] taels per dou to [-] taels of taels, and they would also close half of the rice and grain shops, causing a food shortage.

As everyone knows, they have already jumped into Wang Ping'an's trap. Not only will the common people not buy their grain tomorrow, but they will also have to lower the price of grain.

The golden rooster crows, and the sun rises slowly from the east.

After Wang Ping'an washed up, Wang Ping'an couldn't wait to take Zhao Hao to the rice store.Tieping had already left for the boat to load the sand last night.

Due to time constraints, the news that Wang Ping'an's rice grain store had rice for sale has not reached the ears of the common people.There are still many people queuing up at the Zhangji Rice Grain Store carrying baskets or cloth bags.

When Wang Pingan saw that Zhangji Rice Grain Store had increased the grain to five hundred yuan a bucket, the atmosphere immediately trembled, especially when an old lady asked the store clerk to give her more grain when she was buying grain, but the clerk in the store arrogantly When he pushed the old lady away and scolded her for being a pauper and not blocking the way, Wang Ping'an was already very angry.

"Zhao Hao, for this young master, beat the gongs and drums, and say that the Wang's rice and grain grocery store has grain for sale at ten cents per bucket, and then inform the store that each person is limited to buying five buckets of rice, and you can buy it casually after the owner's grain ship arrives. .”

Zhao Hao saw that Wang Ping'an was trembling with anger, and said worriedly: "Master, please don't be angry, they won't be playing for a few days."

Wang Pingan took a deep breath and said slowly: "That's right, they won't be jumping around for a few days, you should go and notify them, and send someone to the pier to keep an eye on them. Once our ship arrives, we will unload the cargo immediately."

"Yes."

Zhao Hao walked to the side, picked up what Wang Pingan asked him to prepare in the morning, and started knocking.

"Clang, clang, clang."

"Father and folks, the Wang's Rice and Grain Grocery Store will start selling grain today, ten cents a bucket, everyone is going to line up to buy grain."

"Father and folks, the Wang's Rice and Grain Grocery Store will start selling grain today, ten cents a bucket, everyone is going to line up to buy grain."

"Father and folks, the Wang's Rice and Grain Grocery Store will start selling grain today, ten cents a bucket, everyone is going to line up to buy grain."

Zhao Hao shouted loudly while beating the gong, causing the people who were queuing up to look back at him one by one, thinking, "Isn't the rice and grain store of the Wang family already for sale?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhang Ji's clerk laughed when he heard Zhao Hao's words, and said: "You are wrong, Wang's rice grain store sold it to someone else yesterday, and it is starting to sell grain again today. This is the best I have ever heard." joke."

"Yea, haha……"

"Clang, clang, clang."

"Father and folks, the Wang's Rice and Grain Grocery Store will start selling grain today, ten cents a bucket, everyone is going to line up to buy grain."

Zhao Hao ignored the cynicism and sarcasm of Zhang Ji's guys, but continued to beat the gong and shout, and let reality hit them in the face later.And it's still a hard hit.

Some ordinary people walked to the former Wangji Rice Grain Store and the current Wangjia Rice Grain Grocery Store with a skeptical attitude. They saw that the grain was placed at the door from generation to generation, and there was a price tag of ten coins and a bucket hanging beside it. , Only then did the common people believe that the Wangjia rice and grain grocery store had grain for sale.

Of course, it is not only food, but also cakes, rice noodles and other food-related goods. The people seem to see hope, and they all show innocent smiles.

Seeing these smiles, Wang Ping'an's anger disappeared, and he felt that everything he had done was worthwhile.

The people who wanted to buy food started to line up, no one was needed to maintain order, the people were very conscious of obeying the rules, if someone jumped in line now, there was no need for the shop assistants to take care of it, the people could drown him with their saliva.

And the person who jumped in the queue would not be able to stay in Luoyang anymore, whether it was his neighbors or his relatives and friends, they would all stay away from him because of him jumping in the queue.

Wang Pingan realized that he was thinking too much. The people who bought the grain did not resent the boss for selling them less, but thanked the boss for selling them such cheap grain. The people who bought the grain did not go home immediately, but Go and tell those people who are still buying grain from profiteers that you can buy grain for ten pennies and a bucket at the Wang Family Rice Grain Grocery Store.

"Folks, hurry up and buy grain at the Wangjia rice and grain grocery store. It sells ten cents a bucket there. Don't sell grain to profiteers who have blackened their consciences, and make money for them." A commoner who bought grain came to Zhang Remember the rice grain store, and said to the people who were buying grain there.

The common people stopped queuing as soon as they heard this, and all ran to the Wang family rice and grain grocery store.

But the folks at Zhangji Rice Grain Store were stunned. They all forgot to stop the people, but of course they couldn't stop them.There was only one voice in their hearts: "What happened? Isn't the Wang Family Rice and Grain Store already sold? Why is there still rice for sale?"

Soon, the news that the Wangjia Rice Grain Grocery Store had grains for sale spread throughout Luoyang, and there was already a long queue at the 35 Wangjia Rice Grain Grocery Stores.

Zhang Ji and others also got the news very quickly. After seeing the scene, they immediately went to find Wang Shouren.
