Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Lu Songli invested [-] shi of grain in five counties, towns and towns. It can be said that a drop of water fell into the oil pan, causing an uproar.

Everyone took their household registration books to the grain and oil store of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce in the county of the town and lined up in a long line.

Today's people have more than ten people in each household registration, unlike later generations, if there is a single family, there are only four or five people.Therefore, even if the purchase limit is three catties per person, the person who queues up to buy can buy thirty to fifty catties or more.

It was the first time that the grain and oil shop of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce sold cheap grains. Wu Ren sat in charge and started selling grains from noon until night.

Those who bought grain came out of the grain store with dozens of catties of grain in their arms, and went home with their families talking and laughing while guarding the grain.

Wu Ren saw that there was not much food in the grain tank, and there were still many people queuing outside. After thinking about it, he went out, counted the first five people, and came to the sixth person, "Master, the food is almost sold out. Don't queue up behind you, go home."

Those who came late and didn't buy it were already anxious, and they couldn't bear to hear Wu Ren's words.

"Why is it sold out? I haven't bought it yet." The old man who spoke blamed himself for walking too slowly.

Those with poor endurance cried out, "Yes, my family is almost out of food to cook, so I hope to buy some cheap food to go home."

Someone begged Wu Ren, "Brother, can you ask the store to add more food?" They have seen it, this is a conscientious business, and the food they sell is all good food, and it costs fifteen cents a catty next door .

The shopkeeper next door has come out to look at it four, five or six times this afternoon, blowing his beard and staring.

Wu Ren also noticed this scene, but Wu Ren is not afraid of him. What is the background of their Liaodong Chamber of Commerce?

Besides, regarding the price of grain, Mr. Lu asked Mr. Guo Chunsheng and Mr. Guo to talk to the grain merchants, telling them not to set the price so high, but to make it cheaper. It is best to give some special food to the poor people occasionally.But these profiteers are crying and shouting that they are not making money, and if they really want to cut prices, they would rather close their shops.

This forced his master to work hard to find a way to get food for Liaodong County outside.

Facing the hopeful eyes of the common people, Wu Ren could only bow with a wry smile, "Masters, uncles and aunts, the food quota in the store is really used up today."

This ten thousand shi grain, 120 million catties, the master told them to put it in three times.

Today is the first day of the distribution of cheap grain. Houcheng cast a thousand stones, which is 12 catties, and the other four counties have a little less, which is [-] catties.

He is now in Gaoxian County, and the entire Gaoxian County has eight townships. , every township has one of their stores, and each store distributes less than [-] catties of grain.

They were all sold out in one afternoon, and their clerks were all exhausted.

Wu Ren's words caused an uproar among those present who had not yet bought food.

Wu Ren quickly added, "Everyone listen to me, if you can't buy today, you can come tomorrow. Tomorrow is still not ready for sale."

Immediately, someone asked him, "Brother, you close your store, can we not go?" They have to continue to line up, otherwise if they go back, they will not be able to catch up tomorrow, so what's the matter?

Wu Ren thought for a while and said, "Well, if you line up, I'll have someone register and give you a serial number. When you come tomorrow, you can line up according to the serial number, okay?"

His method, some people think it is okay, some people think it is safer to stay in line.

The next afternoon, Wu Ren noticed that there were still many people queuing up to buy food.

On the third day, people from other counties even came to line up.However, according to regulations, the grain invested in Gaoxian County can only be purchased by the people of Gaoxian County first.

Wu Ren has been sitting in this shop for three days in a row. He has a tender face and smiles whenever he meets people. His amiable appearance makes people feel good.

Ladies and gentlemen, they felt that they were familiar with him, and couldn't help but get close to him.

"Shopkeeper Wu, who opened this Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's grain and oil store, and who is the owner?"

"Yeah, I've never heard of this grain and oil store before."

"Our Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is a new company." Seeing that they were still confused, Wu Ren continued to explain, "Actually, it is similar to Ji's company. Ji's company, have you heard of it?"

"heard about it."

Wu Ren went on to say, "Our Liaodong Chamber of Commerce was specially approved by the county governor to specialize in high-quality and cheap goods."

The old man who spoke nodded, "The food you sell this time is very high-quality and cheap."

"Haha, thank you old man for your compliment. In the future, our Liaodong Chamber of Commerce will sell more items, so please look forward to it."

"Yes, otherwise, the price of food will be so high that it will kill people."

"That's right, this grain is good, but it's limited. There are too few that can be bought, and many people haven't bought it."

Wu Ren smiled. In fact, they calculated the amount of the purchase limit. In the past three days, basically [-] households can buy food, covering [-]% of the population.

"There is no way. The whole Liaodong County is short of food. In fact, it is not only Liaodong County. There is a flood in the south. There is a shortage of food everywhere."

An old man with a mustache next to him raised his eyelids and said, "If you still have such cheap food in Gaoxian County, just laugh, but we don't have it in Liaotu County."

The young man next to him immediately said, "We don't even have one in Xiandu County."

The common people in Gaoxian County were taken aback when they heard the words, they thought that there were cheap grains for sale in every county and town.

Then they chattered away.

"Doesn't your Liao team county have one?"

"You didn't even study in the county?"

"No, no!" replied the young man.

God knows, when they learned that Wuli and Liaoyang counties next to them had cheap grains for sale, but they didn't have any in Liaoyang counties, they almost burst into tears.Who knows the feeling of grievance.

"How could this be?"

The old man with the character Hu said in a flat voice, "Among the cheap grain this time, Houcheng put the most grain in. The people in Houcheng are limited to buy five catties per person, and they basically bought it. Others such as Wangping, Wuyou, Gao Xian, Liaoyang and other counties and towns are limited to three catties per person, and most people have bought it."

"Shopkeeper Wu, what's going on?"

Wu Ren was not in a hurry to explain, and when the old man with the mustache finished speaking and other people came to ask him, he said, "Everyone, please be quiet, and I will explain to everyone."

"First of all, our Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is operated independently. When it is convenient and appropriate, it will cooperate with some government policy regulation, but it is not subject to government control."

"Secondly, this time our Liaodong Chamber of Commerce did not get much food, and we couldn't cover the eighteen counties of Liaodong County. Please forgive me for this."

"Then, Houcheng is where the new county governor's mansion is located, and the four counties of Wangping, Wuli, and Liaoyang border the Xianbei Grassland. They were robbed of a lot of food last year. The people in these counties are living too hard. Let alone , They are still serving in the service to build roads." More policies to benefit the people are needed to appease and attract the people who have gone out to return.

"The last reason is the crime of being pregnant. There are too many bandit dens in Liaodong County. Once the grain is distributed, it is impossible to tell which village will be targeted, and then be murdered by the bandits. Therefore, the scope of distribution of cheap grain , it is tentatively designated as the counties and towns where these bandits have been eradicated."

"No, what about Gaoxian County? It doesn't border Xianbei." Someone raised doubts.

"Gaoxian County was able to distribute cheap food because it happened to be evenly distributed. It can only be said that it is too lucky. Moreover, Gaoxian County is already assisting the army to suppress bandits."

After Wu Ren's words spread, the people of Houcheng were very proud.Several other counties, such as Wangpingping, are also honored, and people in the other thirteen counties are bitter.

They can also serve in corvee to build roads, and they can also support the army to fight bandits, and they promise to be obedient.

Lord Sheriff, the owner of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, you can't favor one person over another.

Wu Ren finally comforted, "But please rest assured, our boss is already doing its best to purchase grain. In the future, the other [-] counties will have cheap grain for sale one after another. Please wait patiently."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to go back to the store, but was stopped by the aunt next to him, "Master Wu, is your store still hiring? My son is tall and strong, so he can help you carry the goods." It’s great to be able to enter this store, let’s not talk about the wages or not, let’s say that they have good things to sell in the future, and I can know in advance.

"Recruited. But ma'am, our Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's recruitment meeting is relatively strict, and basically all people must be literate. The specific recruitment requirements will be posted, so everyone should pay attention to it."

Now many of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce are recruited from Tianshui Village, the original team.

The aunt let go of her hand only after hearing his words.

When they spoke, the others listened with their ears up, and kept Wu Ren's words in their hearts.Hearing Wu Ren say that they need to be literate to recruit people, some people are happy and others are worried.But without exception, they are somewhat aware of the importance of reading and literacy.
