Chapter 418

Gusu!

The sky is not yet light, and the fog has not yet lifted.

Lu Ergou had already carried the slaughtered pork to the city gate.

He is a native of Lujiazhuang, and last year, Zhao Wuxian bought two pigs at his house, and since then he has been transshipment developed.

In one year, he has become a well-known "big pig farmer" in Lujiazhuang.

In fact.

He has already handed over the matter of raising pigs to his family and his newly married daughter-in-law, Cuihua, and he has become a pig butcher himself.

For a "little person" like him, Zhao Wuxian's casual act of buying a pig was the time when he changed his life.

Just because Zhao Wuxian has eaten his pork, his pork can be specially supplied to Zuixian Mansion and Yuelai Inn, so he doesn't have to worry about buyers.

Along with Lu Ergou, there is also a cousin of his, who comes over to help when he is busy.

"Brother Ergou, disaster victims, displaced people, more and more miles!"

Lu Ergou glanced at it.

Twilight is unclear.

The "Disaster Relief Street" outside the city gate was already lined up with hungry people, both men and women, dragging their families.

Disaster Relief Street is not a street, but a place where people have insisted on giving porridge for more than a year since the Yasukuni Gong was sealed in Gusu.

Because King Jing's Mansion often recruits workers here, there are many people who come and go, and they gather into a street.

But.

The porridge in King Jing's Mansion doesn't taste very good.

The rice used is brown rice, and it is mixed with tree bark and grass blades, which does not look very clean.

Baked cakes, steamed buns, and the like are also hard teeth.

You have to soak in hot soup to swallow it.

Only the really poor who can't survive will eat.

Those "beggars" in the city, disdainful of this.

King Jing's Mansion is really too small.

Look at the big families of the Gu family and the Wang family, which time is the porridge, not white flour steamed buns, soft baked cakes, and white porridge?

Not to mention beggars, even the ordinary people in the city will rob them.

In the porridge shed of King Jing's Mansion, the only thing that can be called delicious is the bowl of hot soup.

The soup is made of pork bones.

The dog didn't even look at it, and there was not a trace of meat.

But the floating lard was solid, and salt was sprinkled.

It is used to make cakes and steamed buns, and it is simply the most beautiful in the world for those who are hungry and their eyes are green.

Those who can't afford salt like to go and ask for a bowl of hot soup.

Don't be surprised.

In ancient times, salt and iron were strategic materials that were juxtaposed, and they were controlled by the government.

If not, it is a felony to sell illicit salt.

It can be seen that at this time, being able to drink a bowl of soup with salt is no less than the happiness of drinking fat house water.

When Lu Ergou goes in and out of the city, he will also go to ask for a bowl of soup to drink.

He always felt that eating salt gave him strength.

It's just that he is carrying the burden now, and it is inconvenient for him to pass.

"I heard that there is a war going on in that part of Lin'an, and the rebels are huge, and they have entered Lin'an City, and they are very fierce!"

The cousin is younger than Lu Ergou, and he is very concerned about these major events, and he looks forward to making contributions to his career.

Lu Ergou shook his head and said: "When the war is chaotic, it will only be us ordinary people who will suffer, look at them!" "

He is very satisfied with his current life, has a wife, is pregnant, has something to do every day, and has hope for his life.

So, he doesn't like war.

Cousins are different.

While the two were talking, they came to the city gate, and those who were about to enter the city lined up in a long line.

Because of the Fangla uprising.

Inside and outside the city of Suzhou, vigilance and patrols have been intensified.

At present, it is Yang Tiexin who is in charge of the city defense.

Under the recommendation of Bao Buliang, he joined the Jingwang Mansion, and was then sent by Zhao Wuxian to Yue Fei as a deputy general.

After Zhao Wuxian asked Yue Fei to form a new army, Yang Tiexin took his place, and Wang Gui and Xu Qing served as his deputies.

Yang Tiexin is a descendant of the Yang generals, with a family tradition of war and marksmanship, and his personality is mature and stable.

It is more than enough to be a thousand-man general who guards the city.

Yang Tiexin stood at the head of the city, paying attention to the exchanges, and suddenly noticed that there were a few people, sneaky, talking to the merchants.

"Zaixing, go see what those people are doing!" He said to a tall young man.

This person is his own family and the descendant of the Yang family.

Yang Tiexin saw that he was good at martial arts and brave and good at fighting, so he took him with him to cultivate.

"Second Brother Lu!"

Lu Ergou had just put down his pick and lined up to rest, when a lean and clever person came over.

No matter what Lu Ergou said, he is also a "celebrity" related to King Jing, people in the village call Ergou, and outsiders will call him Second Brother.

Lu Ergou squinted and recognized this person as Li Sanlang of Yaxing.

A dental firm is a firm or middleman who negotiates and introduces transactions between buyers and sellers in the market, and takes a commission.

In layman's terms, it is to use their own intelligence and information gap to facilitate the middlemen of buying and selling transactions to earn the difference.

For example, if you come to Suzhou and want to rent or buy a house, but you don't have access to it, what should you do?

Go to the government's dental shop to register, and then there will be a dental person specializing in this line to show you the house...

This line of work, even in later generations, is still prevalent.

"Li Sanlang, my family's pork is only for the palace, and it will not be sold to you."

Without waiting for Li Sanlang to speak, Lu Ergou refused first.

As long as one kind of product, it is marked with the label of "exclusive", "special", "tribute", "royal gift" and so on.

It has a price that far exceeds the value of the product.

Lu Ergou's pork is naturally the same.

Some big families are not short of money, so they want to taste what Lu Ergou's pork tastes like.

The main thing is to get a dip.

I have also eaten the pork that the prince ate, and when I say it, is it doubly doughy?

Li Sanlang looked for Lu Ergou for this several times, and did not hesitate to pay a high price.

How.

Lu Ergou was tough, it was really a bull's temper, no matter how high Li Sanlang paid a high price, he didn't even get half a piece of meat.

If it weren't for the fear that Lu Ergou and Zhao Wuxian had met and talked, Li Sanlang and those people would have used the means a long time ago.

Indeed, Lu Ergou was just a pig butcher, and Zhao Wuxian probably didn't care about his life or death.

But is it a provocation to clean him up for no reason?

It depends on the owner to beat the dog. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!) ）

Who would dare to gamble?

Facing the stubborn Lu Ergou.

Li Sanlang smiled this time: "Second brother, I am looking for you, there is a way to make a fortune, the kind that makes you rich overnight, are you interested?" "

Lu Ergou hugged his arms and ignored him, vigilant in his heart.

The cousin was curious: "What way?" "

Li Sanlang glanced left and right, and pretended to be mysterious: "You know about the Mingjiao uprising, right?" "

"Hmm!"

"The Mingjiao uprising, the people gathered to respond, and the land of Liangzhejiang fell."

"At such a time of war, the displacement of people, coupled with natural disasters, this year's harvest in all parts of Jiangnan will inevitably plummet!"

"You know what that means?"

"What?"

Li Sanlang squinted and smiled, and whispered: "The price of grain, meat, vegetables, etc., everything related to life will skyrocket!" "

"At this time, but when hoarding materials, it is the way of business, and only by hoarding goods can you sell them at a high price!"

Hoarding?

Cousins are excited.

Lu Ergou sneered: "Hoarding goods, you will cut off your head, who would dare to do this?" "

Li Sanlang said: "Hehe, the law doesn't blame the public!" "

"Moreover, I heard that the people who are hoarding goods this time are the major families in Jiangnan, and they are all secretly buying bulk materials."

"Let's drink soup with these little fish and shrimp!"

"Besides, if you don't hoard goods, others will, and when the price skyrockets, you will have to buy more expensive goods."

The cousin was thoughtful and felt that it made sense.

Lu Ergou frowned and scratched his head.

"Besides, if you don't buy it now, won't those victims buy it?"

Li Sanlang sneered and said, "When more and more refugees come here, you can't buy it if you want to!" "

"Who are you?"

In a cheer, Yang Zaixing brought people over.

The Lu Ergou brothers entered the city together.

Pass through the streets of Minamishi.

In ancient cities, there was a strict plan for what market to sell.

"The east market buys horses, the west market buys saddles, the south market buys bridles, and the north market buys long whips."

It depicts the classification of ancient market management.

Inside and outside the market, you can't occupy the road at will.

The same is true for Gusu.

Nanshi mainly sells grain, vegetables, meat, etc.

"Look, it's a long line!"

Lu Ergou found several rice shops, noodle shops, etc., and there were long queues outside the shops selling grain.

Some of them even hung out of stock signs and closed their doors directly.

When the time comes, the market opens, and the shops that open their doors put new labels on the rice bags.

"What's the matter, the price of food has risen, and the price has increased by two percent!"

There were guests who entered first, and when they saw the marked price, they cursed angrily.

"Too expensive, right? I bought it yesterday, it's not so expensive! "

"yes!"

"Profiteers cheat people!"

The shopkeeper explained at the door.

"Listen to me, because of the war in the south of the Yangtze River, the roads are cut off, the travel is inconvenient, the grain is sent to Gusu, the freight rate is rising, and we are helpless."

A helper in the store sneered and said, "There is still food to buy now, wait a little longer, I'm afraid that my house will be closed!" "

The queue at the back was heckling.

"That's it!"

"Don't talk about the price of food, other meat prices, etc., all kinds of prices are soaring, do you like to buy it or not, don't block it if you don't buy it!"

"Seeing that the soldiers are in chaos, stocking up early will save you from starvation!"

"Who knows if the rebels will hit Suzhou!"

In the midst of the noise, there was a rush to buy in the south market, the north market, the east market, the west market, etc., and the market (Wang Li Hao) that deals in bulk goods.

The people blindly obeyed and were instigated, and they went to the market to sweep the goods.

All day long.

Suzhou's grain prices and prices have skyrocketed.

Not only in Gusu, but also in Jiangnan and southeast China since the beginning of the Fangla Uprising, prices have begun to rise slowly.

This wave of skyrocketing is just the fluctuation of people's hearts brought about by the rush to buy after the people's grain stocks and small businessmen's stocks are exhausted.

The people angrily scolded the profiteers, but they were helpless.

King Jing's mansion.

Zhao Wuxian looked at the latest information sent by Azhu.

The prefect of Suzhou was sitting in danger and said cautiously: "Lord Wang, the merchants are in trouble, do you want to send troops to arrest them?" "

Zhao Wuxian put down the information.

"No, the market has its own rules, which are nothing more than the word supply and demand, and too much interference by the government will cause civil unrest."

"Commercial business decisions, just a few businessmen, why bother to fight?"

Zhao Wuxian has been planning for a long time about the affairs of Jiangnan, and many aspects have been taken into account, including wartime turmoil and post-war reconstruction.

In short, the current surge in prices is also expected.

As for how to calm down.

Zhao Wuxian has his own confidence, and in his system space, there are millions of stone rice, and other materials, and there will be no shortage of them.

There is a system in there, there is no need to worry about it at all.

It's just that Zhao Wuxian has to combine reality and maintain market prices, and it is impossible to supply private goods for free and unlimitedly.

Otherwise, there will be a situation where the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants.

But it is enough to rectify the profiteers who control the market and industry.
