Xu Pengju's news came just in time. After reading the letter, Xu Xiu said to the two of them, "It seems that what I said earlier has worked. Mr. Xu sent a letter saying that Zou Wang is still in Jiangning."

The old scholar said: "If it's unintentional, it's not too late. You write a letter, please Mr. Xu to hold Zou Wang, and don't let him go back to Jiangning."

Zhang Cong added: "The longer the time, the better."

Xu Xiu also understands the truth in it, there is nothing better than the tiger not being in the den. After writing a letter, as soon as I look back, I see Xu Yang who has not had a good rest these days, but he can’t open his mouth again. .

Xu Yang noticed the change in his young master's mood, picked up the letter, shook it with a smile and said, "Master, I'm the only one to do this job."

Rubbing the corners of her eyes, Xu Xiu concealed a smile and said, "Xiao Yang, thank you for your hard work."

"fine."

Seeing him running to Xiaomao in the backyard, Xu Xiu thought to herself: how lucky I am, good teacher, good friend, brother, lover, partner, all of them are here, is there anything more fortunate than this?

I should swear that if I can't do any great things in this life, I will live my life in vain, and I will be ashamed of God's love.

……

When all the conditions are presented according to the established arrangement, there is no need to have much doubt about the answer.

The convoys were so densely packed that they couldn't see the end at a glance, and there were countless villagers gathered around the west gate and south gate, discussing.

Yesterday evening, Jiangning County posted a notice, saying that the warehouse would be opened and sold in the morning.Although it was late enough, the speed of the spread was not slow. Everyone was waiting for Jiangning County's actions. Now that it came out, it would naturally be extraordinarily eye-catching.It doesn't matter if you don't know how to read or write. In the county government, not only the common people are hungry, but also poor scholars abound.At this time, they will naturally act as commentators.

The weather is also beautiful, the sky is clear and blue in the morning, and the visibility is very high.Although the convoy outside the city is not very neat, there are all kinds of livestock.There are donkey carts, horse carts, ox carts, and even human-powered unicycles.You can't see the end at a glance, it's like a flood of refugees pouring into Jiangning, and the atmosphere created is also good.

Xu Xiu stood on the tower, and the convoy below stretched for at least ten miles and was aggressive, which made him feel a little bit of pride in pointing out the country.

He snorted softly and said, "I was looking at the mountain scenery from the tower, and I heard the commotion outside the city, the flags fluttering in the air, but it turned out that it was the soldiers sent by Sima..."

Although there are no gold and iron horses, but the number of people exceeds the order of [-], and the scene created is also very passionate.

Xu Xiu pointed at the bottom of the city with her finger and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, have you arranged everything? From the outside, can you see the difference?"

Wang Chen said: "Don't worry, the cotton cloths given by the Lu family are sacks similar to grain."

After hearing this, Xu Xiu stopped talking.

Since it was going to be a show, it would not be a good show if it wasn't all played. The yamen servants along the street said in unison under the rhythm of gongs and drums: "When food enters the city, idlers avoid it."

At this moment, a cow seemed to be frightened, and the full cart fell to the ground in an instant. I don't know whether these sacks were filled too much, stretched tightly, or for other reasons, they burst open, and the grain poured down. Everyone was stunned, the visual impact, Xu Xiu arranged to the extreme, he needed this effect.

No matter whether Wuliangye dropped the wine bottle or Maotai dropped the wine bottle, it is a legend, but at this time in Jiangning, a cart of grain dumped on the ground is a reality.

When the wind blows, there is a line of dust in the distance, making it even more difficult for people to see the end of the convoy. There are naughty children counting the carriages and horses entering the city one by one. They only know that it has been a long time, and they have counted over and over again , are not counted clearly.

I don't know how long it took, when the last chariot and horse entering the city from the south gate entered the city, all the people shouted in unison, what they shouted was not important, and no one could hear it clearly, but everyone knew that The food price problem that has plagued everyone for so long will inevitably change.

"Affordable prices, unlimited purchases."

The price has returned to the price before the price increase, and there are long queues in front of the Changping warehouses, and the county government must not be manned enough.Even Mr. Accountants from the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce invited all of them over.

This kind of scene happened once during the flood last year, but at that time, the food was free and could be taken away. This time, it had to be counted one by one, and the efficiency was naturally not as good as before, but this was also what Xu Xiu needed, and the efficiency was low. For the grain merchants in the city, the pressure will naturally be greater, like a rusty blunt knife rubbing against their necks back and forth, uncomfortable, uncomfortable.

Xu Xiu was sitting in the lobby of the county yamen, and he still needed to deal with his daily work. Now, he just needs to wait for the straw of time, and slowly bend the backs of these camels.

Naturally, it is impossible for the four major food companies to sit still. When Xu Xiu posted the notice last night, they did not sleep well all night. All eyes were on the convoy entering the city. Calculate how much food these chariots and horses loaded.

However, it is futile at this time, such a huge fleet, it is difficult to predict it by mental calculation.

But the businessman's sense of smell told them that this amount was enough to make them bankrupt.

Mr. Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said nervously, "Old Ma, what should we do, should we accept it or not?"

Ma's family didn't speak, and the owner of the grain company surnamed Ji said: "How do we collect it? He is obviously telling us to buy if we have the ability. It depends whether he has more food or we have more money."

Hearing this, Mr. Qian said anxiously: "Where do we get so much money? It's no problem to eat it in a while, but if he keeps it like this for ten and a half months, where do we still have money? It's all backlogged on those goods." , At that time, the flow of water will not be turned around, and the positions will not be adjusted. If we don’t use him to mess with us, we will die ourselves.”

Ji Dong's family said angrily: "What else can I do, ask Zou's family to adjust their positions."

After saying this, these people all looked at Dong Ma's house.

Tang Dong's family said: "Old Ma, what did the Zou family say?"

Ma Dong's family said with a gloomy face: "Young master of the Zou family is still in Jiangning, and there is no news yet."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Dong's family said angrily: "When is this? He still wants to spend time in Jiangning? Jiangning may only have our four families in the future, but in the current situation, it is more likely that there will be no four of our rice noodles in the future. OK!"

When he got up and was about to leave, Ma Dong's family stopped him and said, "Lao Ji, don't be impulsive. Could it be that Jiangning County will let us go if you stop now?"

Ji Dong's family disdainfully said: "It's my business whether or not Jiangning County can be settled, but if I just sit around and wait for death, without the root cause, what can I do to protect myself? Let alone talk about future interests?"

"The mouse is short-sighted."

"I don't know the times."

Ma Dong's family said angrily: "Wait a minute, the news has already been sent, there is no way the Zou family will remain indifferent."

After some talking, they finally appeased Ji Dong's family, but the four of them sat together in silence for a while.

In today's business, there are not many fancy means, there are channels and resources, and it is okay to be willing to work hard.But now everyone's wealth is all on the food. Once the time is long, the running water is cut off, and the expenditures from various places cannot be supplemented. The only way is to give up.

A clerk hurried in from outside the door, whispered a few words in Ma Dong's ear and then retreated.

Everyone motioned for him to give an explanation, Ma Dong's family said: "Over there at Ximen, the cloth shop of Wang Yu's family has reopened. The scale is very large, and many small merchants have joined in, selling Songjiang cloth."

Mr. Qian said, "No way."

Songjiang cloth is very famous, but no matter how famous it is, it is difficult to find it in the market. Outside of Susong, it is rare in other places, and the price has no advantage.

Tang Dong's family said flatly: "Have you forgotten that Jiangning County is from Songjiang Prefecture?"

After he reminded, everyone understood the possible rationality in it.

Ma Dong's family said seriously: "Let's wait for news from Zou's family first, and don't go collect grain."

"it is good."

The grain store here has finished participating in the business, but the three owners of the cloth store on the other side don't have such a unified idea.

Jiang Ning cloth is mostly the source of goods from Shandong and other northern regions. It is reasonable to say that the old man Wang Chen is not capable of getting the goods from these places. If the Zou family speaks, who dare not give face?

But now Wang Zhen did not take the cloth from Beidi, but changed it to Songjiang cloth, which caused the cloth merchants in Jiangning a headache.

Dong Li took a sip of herbal tea, and the fire that had just been put down was ignited by shopkeeper Wu, one of the four bosses of Ximen, and shopkeeper Wu said in a strong tone: "It's all right now, Wang Yu doesn't know how to do it. When we come to Songjiang Cloth, there are even small merchants that we don’t even look at. The price is cheaper than ours, and it is the top Songjiang Cloth in Ming Dynasty. What should we do now? Lao Li, you need to give an explanation.”

It turned out that Zou Wang intervened in the cloth and finally attacked Wang Zhen, basically Dong Li's family was the one who helped them to force the other two to join in. Now seeing that he was damaged, the finger of attack naturally pointed at him.

Li Dong's family retorted when they heard the words: "You don't care what I want to say? The Zou family said, are you still following closely? It's no problem to ask me to say it. It's very simple. Just continue to pressurize. How much does he sell? They are all [-]% cheaper than him, don't you have the guts?"

Wu Dong's family is not afraid of him, everyone is from Ximen's side, don't think that you can talk nonsense if you hug the big tree of the Zou family.

He laughed loudly after hearing his words, and said, "Lao Li, are you confused? His current price is the previous price, and if he lowers it, he won't make money."

Li Dongjia sneered: "When we are the only ones left in the Jiangning cloth industry, what money can't be made back? Short-sighted."

The other owner, surnamed Qi, secretly shook his head and said, "I don't know current affairs."

The three shopkeepers broke up unhappy. Seeing Wang Jun's cloth shop standing up again, there were many small cloth shops behind them waving their flags and shouting. The Jiangning Chamber of Commerce, which has never been heard of, has an original name only under this big signboard.

Even Wangjiabuzhuang was placed under the big signboard, and for a while, the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce's signboard was sold out.

The price of cloth has been suppressed, and the price of grain has also returned to the previous level, and smiles appeared on the faces of the common people.

Xu Xiu was very relieved in her heart, and the next step was to try to see each other.

Disobedient merchants, are you ready?
