But now that Wei Zhongdao is seriously ill and Wei Yi is dead, he can only pin his hopes on his second son, Wei Xun.

After all, if you want to go to the present life now, it's not very appropriate, isn't it?

His tone softened a little.

"Xun'er, let me ask you, who is the seller?"

Wei Xun said respectfully, "My lord, the seller is Yinren from Henan."

"Henan Yin?" Wei Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

Their food was also lost in Yin, Henan.

Could it be that this seller did it?

He stared at Wei Xun and said, "Xun'er, have you checked their details?"

Wei Xun's heart skipped a beat.

Check the details?

Still want to check the details?

But soon, he recalled the other party's introduction.

He quickly explained: "They are small merchants from Henan Yin."

Wei Cheng's expression changed.

Hastily asked: "Henan Yin's small merchants, can they get so much food?"

"It's not one family, it's several companies. It's a combination of several small merchants." Wei Xun explained.

"And, I heard from them that they have a total of 50 grains."

That's it!

Wei Cheng nodded clearly.

He didn't care much about it either.

Even if a few small merchants unite together, how much energy can they have?

He frowned deeply, muttering to himself.

After a long time, he said: "Since they have 50 grains, they will buy them all.

"But father, they want five times the price..." Wei Xun said hastily.

"Five times the price?"

As soon as these words came out, it meant that Wei Cheng had long been prepared to be slaughtered, and his heart was beating wildly at this time.

Five times!

This is too cruel!

But now, the situation is stronger than people, so he has to agree.

The reason is very simple, the food around him was almost bought by him when he raised 50 shi of food last time.

As for the distant place, after all, the distance cannot quench the near thirst.

Even if there is food, what is the use!

Wei Cheng gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "That's it, that's it."

He said in a deep voice, "Xun'er, find them immediately and buy all their food."

"50 shi, we want all of them."

But do we have that much cash?

Wei Xun secretly slandered in his heart.

Seeming to see what Wei Xun was thinking, Xun Cheng smiled confidently.

"With the golden signboard of our Wei family, this old man can easily get the money out of the hands of the aristocratic families in the county. Besides, we still have the land deed!"

He patted Wei Xun's shoulder and said, "Xun'er, our Wei family depends on you!"

"Here!" Wei Xun suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and hurriedly nodded in response.

Immediately, he went outside.

In a manor in Hedong County, several merchants were standing together.

They all looked at the person on the main seat respectfully.

In front of them, a person was wearing a flying fish suit and was sitting calmly on the main seat.

He is, of course, Lu Bing.

He slightly raised his sword eyebrows and said, "How, have you ever sold the grain?"

The merchant on the left is a fat man.

He respectfully said: "Don't worry, General Lu, although it hasn't been sold yet, it will definitely be soon."

Others echoed: "That's right, if their Wei family lacks these 50 stones, they will not be able to get them together at all."

"exactly!"

The rest of the people also echoed.

Lu Bing nodded and said: "That's great! After the matter is completed, your benefits will definitely be indispensable."

Several people hurriedly said respectfully: "How dare a villain want the benefits of the general! It is a blessing for the few of us to be able to serve the general."

Lu Bing smiled faintly.

"It's good for you, you just take it."

"Yes! Yes!" Several merchants responded repeatedly.

Just then, a servant came to the door.

"Master, Young Master Wei is here!"

The fat man straightened his clothes and responded loudly.

"Understood, let Master Wei wait in the living room."

He looked at Lu Bing and said, "General Lu, that villain will deal with it first."

While stroking the handle of the Xiuchun knife, Lu Bing casually said, "Go."

Several merchants hurriedly retreated to the outside.

In the living room of the manor, Wei Xun was pacing back and forth.

His face was full of worry.

While pacing, he muttered in his mouth: "Why don't you come..."

Several merchants stepped forward, and some servants had already stepped forward to report.

"Master, that young master of the Wei family seems to be quite anxious. He keeps pacing back and forth."

The eyes of several merchants all lit up.

They looked at each other, and they both saw a smile in each other's eyes.

The fat man clapped his palms and laughed, "It's done!"

Everyone entered the house together.

Wei Xun rushed forward to meet him.

After discussing with everyone, Wei Xun signed a document.

Grain was finally sold at five times the price.

Looking at the document in his hand, Wei Xun was overjoyed.

In this way, he completed the task entrusted by his father.

The future Patriarch of the Wei family must belong to him!

Afterwards, the grain was handed over to Wei Xun, and the corresponding money was also handed over to Lu Bing.

In the backyard of Wei's house 0 ...

Seeing the grain piled up in the warehouse in front of him, Wei Cheng couldn't stop laughing.

"Good! Very good!"

He glanced at Wei Xun and said, "Xun'er did a good job this time!"

Wei Xun's face was full of ecstasy.

The steward smiled wryly, "Patriarch, isn't it a big loss for us to buy grain at such a high price?"

Wei Xun also frowned and said, "Father, our land deeds and land deeds have been suppressed a lot, can we still want them back?"

Wei Cheng didn't answer, but just laughed.

"You said, do we still have food in Hedong County?"

The steward was taken aback.

Wei Xun said proudly.

"Almost all the grain in Hedong County has been collected by me at a high price. Even if someone has grain in storage, I don't think they will store too much."

Wei Cheng smiled lightly: "There is a shortage of food in Hedong County, and no one can buy food. What if we take out the extra [-] shi of food at this time?"

"You say, what will happen?"

While he was speaking, he slowly clenched the five fingers of his right hand.

It was as if everything was held in the palm of his hand.

The steward's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Wonderful! Really wonderful!"

"In this way, we might still make a fortune!"

Wei Xun was puzzled.

Wonderful what?

Where is the magic?

He scratched his head, unable to figure it out anyway.

Wei Cheng sighed lightly.

This is why he bypassed Wei Xun and supported Wei Yi.

It's a pity that Wei Yi is no longer here, so he is different from him.

Wei Xun didn't feel Wei Cheng's chill at all.

He wondered, "My lord father, what did you say just now?"

Wei Cheng explained with a wry smile.

"Xun'er, have you ever heard of the principle that rare goods can be lived in?"

"Strange... Strange things to live in?" Wei Xun murmured.

The bewildered expression on his face was even worse.

Wei Cheng felt worse than eating a fly.

He could only explain patiently.

"There is no food in Hedong County, so everyone can't be hungry, right? And it will take time to bring in food from outside. This is our opportunity."

"Under looting, all we need to do is raise the price of grain, and the money will naturally flow!"

Only then did Wei Xun come to his senses.

Wei Cheng immediately ordered: "Liu Guanshi, this matter of transporting food, I have worked hard for you."

"Here!" Guanshi Liu responded respectfully.
