Chapter 53
The speed at which news was delivered by the Great Xia Kingdom court has always been a mystery.

The emperor liked strange stones, beautiful women, and all beautiful things.So news related to these wonderful things always travels very quickly.Otherwise, it is very slow.

The floods in the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River, the imperial court has not even farted.However, the people have their own channels for information transmission.

Seeing Boss Chen's performance, Lu Yuan knew that the news from the north had arrived.

"System: Host, you know that he knows. Then does he know that you know that he knows?"

Lu Yuan: "..."

At this time, Lu Shuang was still chattering on the sidelines: "Nephew, you can't do this! Although Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, people fight for breath. You don't have to stop all the prosperous shops and concentrate on collecting food! It's only a few minutes to make food A piece of money? Listen to Uncle San's persuasion, calm down, and don't put your family fortune in it for the sake of emotional disputes. Uncle San feels distressed when he sees it!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Third Uncle, stop acting, I'm not that stupid."

"Look at you kid, what did you say. Third Uncle said it from the bottom of his heart." Lu Shuang stroked his beard, knowing that it was boring.He looked at the closed door of Chen's Rice Store, wondering what happened.

At this time, the Chenjiami shop was in a mess.Boss Chen couldn't remember the last time he smashed something desperately.It doesn't matter, anyway, it's not as good as this time.He smashed all the things that could be smashed in the Chen family's rice shop, and finally took out a chamber pot. After thinking about it, he didn't dare to do it.

I just got the news that the Lianghuai and Taihu Lake areas have suffered from a major flood that has not happened in a century.The paddy fields in the two places are basically out of production.At that moment, Boss Chen was so angry that blood poured into his pupils.

What does it mean that the two major granaries suffered such a severe disaster?Food prices are going up! !
Boss Chen muttered to himself: "But what about my food?"

He replied by himself: "Sold it to Lu Yuan!"

The word Dou Da's mental retardation circled around in his mind, and finally almost printed on his forehead.

Why, why is that second generation ancestor of the Lu family so lucky!He was just angry with me for collecting so much grain at a high price.I even secretly sold him two thousand shi of grain!I bought that with great effort from the wealthy households in Zhenhai City!
If these rice are still kept, I will cover him for a few more months, and the old Chen family will make a fortune!

Boss Chen has been waiting for new rice to come on the market and harvest grain when grain prices fall.So much so that now the Chen family only has a dozen shi meters left!Where can I get more grain if I go to collect it now?

Boss Chen's head hurts, and he is still dizzy.He was aggrieved, aggrieved, and had nowhere to reason.After holding back and forth, he became irritable and smashed the rice shop to pieces.

"No, I still have money. Where's my money?"

The money was loaned out.Because Chenjiamidian teamed up with several wealthy households to deal with Lujiadongyuan, Boss Chen lent most of his net worth to Boss Wang Wendong.Anyway, he was running a silk and satin shop, and he was doing a business that was sure to make a profit, and he promised to pay it back in half a month.Thinking of this, Boss Chen stumbled out of the back door of Chen's Rice Shop, rushed towards Wang's Silk and Satin Shop with disheveled hair.As long as there is money, there is salvation!Set off immediately now to collect grain in the Huguang area of ​​Nanyue. It should be too late!
When Boss Chen arrived.The guy from Wang's silk and satin shop is putting on the last door panel.

"and many more!"

Boss Chen raised his hands and rushed sideways into the Wang Family Silk Shop.

"Old Wang, where are you, Old Wang?"

Looking at the messy silk in the silk shop and the broken porcelain pieces on the floor.Boss Chen had an ominous premonition.

"Wang Wendong, where are you, you little son of a bitch?!"

He struggled to open the wooden door of the inner hall of the silk shop, and happened to see shopkeeper Wang standing on the table, holding a piece of white silk and throwing it on the beam.

"Brother, what are you doing!" Boss Chen broke out in a cold sweat, rushed over and hugged Shopkeeper Wang's thigh and did not let go.

"It's over, it's over."

"What's all over? Come down quickly!" Boss Chen gritted his teeth and forcibly lifted the two-hundred-pound Shopkeeper Wang off the table.

Shopkeeper Wang's expression was dull, his eyes were dull, like a mentally retarded person.

"Fifty bolts of Shu brocade are all gone! All are gone!"

"What?" Boss Chen picked up his big ear scraper and whipped him, only then did shopkeeper Wang wake up a little bit.

After seeing Boss Chen's appearance clearly, Shopkeeper Wang hugged Boss Chen and cried loudly: "Brother, news just came from the north. The cargo ship carrying my fifty pieces of Sichuan Brocade encountered heavy rain when passing through the Huai River and capsized!"

There was a buzzing sound in Boss Chen's head.Fifty bolts of Shu brocade, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver!

How could Wang's silk and satin village have so much money, and it was all lent to him by rich households.

"Old Wang, don't scare me. Where did you get so many Shu brocades?"

Shopkeeper Wang was about to cry but had no tears: "I spent a lot of money and threatened the suppliers of Luji Silk and Satin Factory in the name of the wealthy businessmen in Zhenhai City. I cut off all the goods that were supposed to be sold to them, and added my own We just collected so much. Now it’s all over!”

"What's over, it's you!" Boss Chen jumped up suddenly, grabbed Shopkeeper Wang's neck and shook violently, "You give me back my money!"

Shopkeeper Wang managed to break free, coughed violently, and said, "Brother, I can't even get a cent out of the money. I borrow all the money for the purchases from wealthy households, and I will take whatever money you lend me." Go pay the interest. You strangle me!"

"Ah~! I'm not reconciled!" Boss Chen roared angrily, lying on the door of the inner hall and banging his head on it non-stop.

"Old Chen, you can't do that. The door is not strong enough to hit anyone." Wang Wendong chuckled a few times, "Why don't we go buy some soju together, and then go to Wanghai Cliff to see the scenery, I heard it's cool up there .”

……

In the west courtyard of the Lu family, the third young master Lu Cong is calling a group of juniors for a meeting.His eldest brother, Lu Meng, had been repaired by Lu Yuan, and was also splashed with dog blood by a Taoist priest, and he was already devastated.The second brother Lu Zhi is an idiot again.Lu Cong felt that the opportunity to inherit the West Courtyard had come!He knew that the wealthy households in Zhenhai City, headed by the Chen family rice shop and the Wang family silk and satin shop, were teaming up to deal with the Lu family's East Courtyard.And the performance of the owner, Lu Yuan, is very lackluster. He doesn't care about the prosperous shop, and concentrates on collecting grain at a high price.

"Such a person, what qualifications do you have to be the head of our Lu family, you are right!"

"Yes, Brother Cong is right!"

"Brother Cong still has the foresight. That Lu Yuan can do crooked ways, strategize, manage the family business and so on. He is not even as good as Brother Cong."

Several young masters from the North Court took turns flattering Lu Cong, making him feel ecstatic!
While drinking tea, Lu Cong pointed to the teacup and said, "Go back and tell fourth uncle. That kid Lu Yuan won't hold back this time, so I'll chew up this teacup and swallow it."

Just as he was talking enthusiastically, a servant rushed to report. Seeing someone from the North Courtyard, the servant hesitated and did not dare to speak.

Lu Cong raised his face and said, "Here are all my brothers, what can't I say?" After finishing speaking, he lowered his head pretending to be cool and took a sip of chrysanthemum tea.

"When I get back to the young master, Chen's Rice Shop and Wang's Silk and Satin Shop are both closed, and the two shopkeepers are heading to Wanghai Cliff hand in hand!"

"Pfft~" Lu Cong squirted chrysanthemum tea all over the faces of the young masters in the North Campus.
