Chapter 766 Grain Overlord
Lighting red lanterns and hammering feet are the bridge sections in "Raise the Red Lantern".
Zhou Qiang happened to know someone who could hammer feet, so he used this routine.
Not to mention, hammering feet every night is quite comfortable.
in a few days.
Tian Xiao'e and Wang Yuyan fell in love with Hammer Kick.
They are both somewhat addicted.
Of course, they won't talk about more addictive things.
After Zhou Qiang got married.
Bailu Village regained its calm.
However, there are still people who often talk about Zhou Qiang and his two beautiful wives.
In Bailu Village, there is no man who does not envy Zhou Qiang.
Even Bai Jiaxuan, the upright patriarch, envied Zhou Qiang in private.
Happy days pass quickly.
A month or two passed in a flash.
Both Tian Xiaoe and Wang Yuyan are pregnant.
Zhou Qiang was a little bored.
He was wondering if he should marry a few more daughters-in-law, so that he could chat and relieve boredom at night.
this evening.
Room two.
"Brother Qiang, let me tell you something. My elder brother told me to lie to you about the secret recipe." Wang Yuyan told Zhou Qiang about the Wang family's conspiracy.
Although Wang Yuyan didn't say anything, Zhou Qiang could basically guess it.
But Wang Yuyan still said it.
After Wang Yuyan married Zhou Qiang, she was a little bit 'happily thinking about Shu'.
Now that I am pregnant, I have completely "changed my mind".
I feel that Zhou Qiang's whole body and mind belong to Zhou Qiang, so I can't lie to Zhou Qiang anymore.
"Yuyan, anyone with a discerning eye knows about your family's plans." Zhou Qiang didn't pretend to be stupid.
The Wang family married their daughter to the Zhou family in Bailuyuan.
People with a little bit of ability will know something strange if they inquire about it casually.
Only people with mud legs, people at the bottom of the society, dreaming of pie falling from the sky all day long, would think that it was a good thing that Zhou Qiang married Wang Yuyan, it was good luck.
There is no pie in the sky.
If it does fall, it will only kill people.
"Brother Qiang knows." Wang Yuyan was not too surprised.
We are all smart people. If we have to pretend to be stupid, we will be really stupid.
"Yuyan, your cousins are in charge of the shop where you dowry. In this way, you let them raise the price." Zhou Qiang wants to make a fuss about the food price and disrupt the Wang family's food business.
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Qiang." Wang Yuyan married Zhou Qiang. She was going to be a traitor, but in the end she 'betrayed'. She fell in love with Zhou Qiang completely, and she was unwilling to do anything to hurt Zhou Qiang.
As for why "betrayal"?
Well, Wang Yuyan was conquered by Zhou Qiang.
This kind of situation is not uncommon. It seems that there is a similar plot in a certain banned movie.
Dealing with the Wang family is a matter of piggybacking.
Zhou Qiang didn't bother too much, he just asked his subordinates to do it.
As for the bandits who had ambushed Zhou Qiang's Bald Ridge before.
Zhou Qiang has also sent someone to inquire about the situation.
This gang of bandits robbed houses and did all sorts of crimes, Zhou Qiang would have to deal with them sooner or later.
The new primary school is already operating normally, so Zhou Qiang doesn't need to go every day.
The business at home has also been arranged, and there are not many things that need Zhou Qiang to be busy.
One day without incident, Zhou Qiang really called Matchmaker Li and Matchmaker Zhang again.
"There are only two wives and concubines in the family, which are too few." Zhou Qiang said casually, with the same meaning, he wanted to marry a wife and take concubines, and he wanted beautiful ones.
"It turns out that the two wives are pregnant, congratulations Boss Zhou, congratulations Boss Zhou!" The two matchmakers congratulated, "Don't worry, she is still a woman from a scholarly family, we will find you as soon as possible, and make sure you are the most beautiful. "
The two matchmakers left happily.
Because, Zhou Qiang promised, after the event is completed, there will still be a happy money of 20 yuan.
Introducing Zhou Qiang's daughter-in-law is a matter of satisfaction to all three parties.
Zhou Qiang was satisfied, his wife's family was satisfied, and the matchmaker was also satisfied.
Soon.
The villagers of Bailu Village began to gossip again.
"Have you heard? Boss Zhou is going to marry a wife and take a concubine again!"
"I heard that Boss Zhou is very capable. Both beautiful daughters-in-law are pregnant. Boss Zhou is so lonely that he can only marry another wife."
"Boss Zhou is amazing!"
"Boss Zhou is doing a great job!"
"Boss Zhou is awesome!"
Zhou Qiang unintentionally gained a lot of envy and admiration.
Bai Jiaxuan's house.
"Jiaxuan, I heard that Zhou Qiang is going to marry a wife again?" Xiancao was a little surprised.
"Yeah, I just heard from third brother.
Zhou Qiang's two wives are pregnant.
There was no one to sleep with Zhou Qiang at night, so he immediately called two matchmakers.
He said that he wanted to marry a few more, and they had to be beautiful. "Bai Jiaxuan's eyes were a little envious.
Normal men would envy Zhou Qiang.
"I didn't expect Zhou Qiang to be a pervert this week!" Xiancao blushed for some reason.
"The little widow with third brother is pregnant." Bai Jiaxuan suddenly talked about Lu San's family affairs.
"What? The third brother has another baby?" Xiancao was stunned, thinking: "Why are you giving birth? Should I have another one?"
Bai Jiaxuan seemed to have the same idea and took the fairy grass into the house to work on it.
Lu Zilin's house.
"This Zhou Qiang turns out to be a lustful man. He is not satisfied with having two such beautiful wives and wants to marry again. It is really unreasonable." Lu Zilin looked down upon him with envy in his eyes.
"This is something that people have the ability to do.
One or two months, both daughters-in-law are pregnant, what does this mean?
It shows that people take good care of their land.
There is no uncultivated wasteland outside. " Lu Taiheng looked at Lu Zilin with disgust.
Alluding to Lu Zilin messing around outside, not sleeping with his wife at home, only giving birth to two children, and no more.
Lu Taiheng basically knew about the bad things Lu Zilin did.
Lu Taiheng looked down upon Lu Zilin.
"Tch, what's so great about it, we'll talk about it after he gives birth to a son." Lu Zilin was so sad that he wanted to go to Widow Li's house for a while.
Lu Zilin originally wanted to go to the little widow's house, but the little widow was too hot-tempered and needed to take it easy.
It didn't take long.
Zhou Qiang's wedding was held again.
This time, marry two at the same time.
They are all beautiful.
The old, middle-aged and young men who were watching were envious.
Mr. Zhu also found out about Zhou Qiang and was very disappointed in Zhou Qiang.
Mr. Zhu felt that Zhou Qiang was too vulgar, too superficial, and too indulgent.
Mr. Zhu originally had expectations for Zhou Qiang, but he did not expect Zhou Qiang to be so addicted to tenderness.
Mr. Zhu had to sigh "A hero is sad when a beauty passes".
Zhou house.
"Light up the lights in Room [-] and Room [-]!" The two women went to hammer the new couple's feet again.
Of course, after hammering the feet of the newcomer, you have to hammer the feet of the two pregnant women.
Soon the two newcomers went to the north room shyly.
One of them is Zhang Xiulan and the other is Han Su'e.
They are more beautiful in appearance and have a good figure. (As long as you have money, you can always find a beautiful woman. Even a brainless beauty can be trained slowly.)
The newly married two people have even worse family backgrounds.
It is said that it is a scholarly family, but in fact there are no scholars, scholars, or scholars in the family. It is just that there are relatives who have studied.
However, it doesn't matter.
The matchmaker also figured out what Zhou Qiang was thinking.
As long as the woman is beautiful, everything else is fine.
The betrothal gifts given this time are all 150 yuan.
The dowry is a few new clothes.
Zhou Qiang didn't care about the amount of the dowry either.
"Come on, undress the master!" Zhou Qiang started a happy life again.
This time, Zhou Qiang plans not to rush to have a baby, but to have fun first.
The days passed by.
this day.
Early in the morning.
Wang Yuyan's two grain shops suddenly raised their prices.
Not only the selling price has increased, but the purchase price has also increased.
Soon.
The news spread to Wang Ju's family.
"What? The prices of Swift's two shops have increased?" Wang Juren was a little confused, "Quickly ask the second child to ask."
Wang Laoer will be back soon.
"Second, what's the matter? Why did you raise the price?" Wang Juren asked hastily.
"The guys don't know. They said it was Swift who notified the price increase, but they didn't say why." The price increase at the grain shop was caused by Zhou Qiang. .
"Swift made it go up?" Wang Juren frowned and thought about it, but couldn't think of anything.
"Dad, why don't you send someone to the White Deer Plain to ask?"
"Okay, go ask."
"There is no reason for the increase in food prices, just to make more money." The people sent by the Wang family were sent back by Zhou Qiang's words without seeing Wang Yuyan.
Wang Juren.
"No reason?" Wang Juren looked a little unhappy.
"Dad, the Zhou family must have heard something and didn't tell us." Wang's second son also had a bad face.
"The key is why the rise!" Wang Juren was a little annoyed.
"Dad, do we want to raise the price?"
"Increased? The autumn grain has just passed, and now it is increased. How can it be increased?" When the grain is abundant, the price is rising, which is crazy.
"Would you like to let someone secretly see Swift?" The Wang family has been very careful in plotting Zhou Qiang's secret recipe.
After Wang Yuyan got married, she hadn't contacted her secretly because she was afraid that Zhou Qiang would find out.
The Wang family is very patient. They plan to wait for a year or two and wait for Zhou Qiang to relax his vigilance before making other plans.
"This." Wang Juren was a little hesitant, worried that he would startle the snake and make a big mistake.
"You can't contact Swift in private!" At this time, Boss Wang came back.
His tone was firm.
He felt that the increase in food prices was not a big deal and there was no need to risk contacting Wang Yuyan secretly.
"That's right, we can't contact you." Wang Juren also wanted to understand, "You can't lose the big because of the small."
"Then shall we raise the price?" Wang Er Er asked.
"The prices at Yuyan's two stores have increased by [-]%. Let's follow suit and increase prices by [-]%." Boss Wang came up with a compromise.
"Okay, just do it."
Two days passed.
The prices of Wang Yuyan's two shops have increased again.
The last time it was raised by [-]%, this time the price has been raised, which is equivalent to doubling the original price.
This increase is huge.
At the same time, the purchase price has also increased a lot.
Wang Juren.
"What? The price has increased again?" Wang Juren looked surprised.
"Yeah, the purchase price is the same as our selling price." Wang Er Er was a little panicked.
Shopping malls are like battlefields, and such a sharp price increase will first cause businessmen to panic.
Wang Laoer murmured in his heart: "Such a price increase is too unusual.
There must be something.
If something happens, something big must happen. "
"Where is your elder brother?" Wang Juren ran out of ideas and wanted to ask Boss Wang.
"Brother has been notified."
After a while.
Boss Wang is back.
He looked serious.
"Boss, what do you think we should do?" Wang Juren asked.
Boss Wang frowned and remained silent.
"Brother, do you want us to follow suit?" Wang Er Er asked.
"It can't go up any more." Boss Wang shook his head and explained, "If it goes up again, our purchase price will be higher than the selling price in other counties."
Wang Juren then said: "Yes, if this is really going to happen, everyone will go to other counties to buy grain, and then sell it to us. Aren't we fools?"
"Then why did Swift's two shops raise prices? Isn't she afraid that food from other counties will be sold?" Wang Laoer looked puzzled.
"The purchase price is so high, there must be something going on, something big, but we don't know." Boss Wang frowned and said.
"Yes, brother, I also think there must be something big, but that bitch Zhou Qiang didn't tell us." Wang Laoer said angrily.
"Ask Zhou Qiang again." Boss Wang hesitated, "I'll go in person this time."
Zhou house.
"Brother-in-law, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you lately, my Swift?" Boss Wang greeted Zhou Qiang, and asked directly, "Brother-in-law, why did your two grain stores increase their prices?"
"Brother, come, this is Yuqian Longjing, try it and see if it tastes good." Zhou Qiang chuckled, playing sloppy with Boss Wang, but didn't say why.
"Brother-in-law, did you hear any news?" Boss Wang continued to ask cheekily.
"Brother, come on, these are the cigarettes brought over from Shanghai, try it."
"Brother-in-law, we are a family. If you have any news, don't tell me, it's a bit unreasonable.
You don't think we are relatives. "Boss Wang pretended to be angry.
"Brother, I really can't say anything about this, but it's definitely true that my shop has increased prices, and you guys should follow suit." Zhou Qiang still didn't say anything.
Boss Wang continued to pester, but Zhou Qiang didn't say a word.
"Where is Swift, I want to go and see her." Boss Wang planned to ask Wang Swift explicitly, so that Zhou Qiang would not be afraid of suspecting others.
"Swift is pregnant, not feeling well, and is resting."
"What? I'm not feeling well? Then just take a look, and I'll send someone to bring old ginseng over later." Boss Wang insisted on seeing Wang Yuyan.
Zhou Qiang stopped him, pretending he couldn't stop him, and asked Wang Yuyan to come out.
Wang Yuyan just came out.
Zhou Qiang spoke first, "Yuyan, your eldest brother came to see you and said he would give you an old wild ginseng."
Zhou Qiang walked over, supported Wang Yuyan, and continued, "We can't sue your elder brother for why our grain shop has raised prices. Otherwise, it would be a big disaster."
Well, Zhou Qiang said this in front of Boss Wang.
Boss Wang's face turned ugly.
But Boss Wang could only bear with it and didn't have an attack.
"Don't worry, Brother Qiang, I know this matter can't be spread outside, and I won't tell Big Brother." Wang Yuyan nodded and looked at Boss Wang, "Brother, I can't say why the food price has risen, but our family's food price can follow suit." Up, this opportunity is rare, and I can make a lot of money.”
Seemingly worried that Wang Yuyan would talk too much, Zhou Qiang hurriedly asked Wang Yuyan to sit down and talked about other things.
After hearing Wang Yuyan's words, Boss Wang suddenly had some guesses in his heart.
A sudden increase in food prices is nothing more than a major event, such as a war or a disaster.
"Yuyan, what's wrong with you, do you want to invite the doctor to come and have a look?" Boss Wang pretended to care about Wang Yuyan.
"It's nothing, I just don't want to eat. I just asked Xing'er to buy dried plums." Wang Yuyan chatted for a few words and went back to the backyard without staying any longer.
"Brother-in-law, I'll ask someone to bring over the old mountain ginseng that I treasure at home later." After seeing Wang Yuyan, Boss Wang had a little guess and left immediately.
"What's the rush? Brother, let's have dinner together." Zhou Qiang sent Boss Wang out with a pretense of politeness.
After Boss Wang left, he walked around to the street in Bailu Town.
Sure enough, he met Xing'er, Wang Yuyan's personal maid.
"Eldest Young Master, Miss gave you this." Xing'er handed Boss Wang a note.
"Understood." Boss Wang hurriedly looked at the note, showing an expression of 'it is so'.
The day Boss Wang went back.
The price of grain in Zishui County has increased.
The sales price and purchase price have all increased, and they have increased significantly.
Of course, Zishui County is actually all the grain shops of the Wang family.
The Wang family monopolized grain sales in Zishui County.
The result is that everyone sells grain to the Wang family and then buys grain from other counties.
the next few days.
The food of the Wang family can only come in and out.
Erdao dealers made a lot of money.
However, the price of grain in Zishui County not only did not fall, but also rose again.
It was Wang Yuyan's two grain shops that raised the price first.
The price is four times the original price.
Wang Juren.
"Dad, the price at Yuyan's grain store has increased again!" Wang Laoer hurriedly reported the situation.In the past few days, he has been staring at the prices outside.
"Then let's go up." Wang Juren said slowly.He already knows why the price has increased.He wanted to make a fortune.
"Dad, Swift's price is four times the price, so let's just increase it this time, five times?" Wang Laoer has a big appetite and wants to earn more.
"Okay, five times is five times. After a while, the food will cost ten or twenty times." Wang Juren was confident, as if everything had been figured out.
Because of the price increase of the Wang family's grain, Zishui County caused a lot of commotion.
Many businessmen are watching.
Many people went to Wang's house to inquire about the situation, but they couldn't find anything.
But everyone felt that if the Wang family heard some news, the grain would definitely increase.
Ever since, someone followed suit.
Someone followed suit.
Food prices are changing faster.
Under such circumstances, food prices in Zishui County and several surrounding counties have increased.
Soon the price of food will be close to ten times.
this evening.
Zhou Qiang called a few confidants over.
"Zhang Biao, the sixth son, you go to Zishui County, so-and-so, so-and-so."
"Understood, boss, promise to complete the task!"
One night passed.
the next day.
A lot of food accumulated by Zhou Qiang was sold.
It was still sold at ten times the usual price.
The huge profits were made by Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang ran out of food.
In Zishui County, businessmen, large and small, have stored a lot of grain, and they all bought it at a high price.
They see it as a business opportunity.
Wang Juren.
"Dad, there is no cash at home." Wang Lao Er hurriedly reported the situation.
"What? No money?" Wang Ju was shocked.
"Yes, I have collected a lot of food recently, and I have no money."
"Don't be afraid if you don't have money. As long as you have food, you can double your income in a few days." Wang Juren was not worried at all.
"But we don't have any money, so Lao Li's family collects more grain." (Lao Li is a big businessman in Zishui County.)
"This old Li, he's not in the grain business, why is he robbing us of grain harvesting? It's really not a thing."
"Dad, why don't you go to the bank to borrow some money?" Wang Lao Er suggested.
"Borrow money?" Wang Juren hesitated.
"Dad, let the brave die of starvation and the cowardly, after passing through this village, there is no such shop."
"Would you like to tell your elder brother?"
"No need, my eldest brother will definitely agree." Wang Lao Er doesn't want to go through Boss Wang for everything.
"Okay, just borrow money, within a month!" Wang Juren made up his mind.
After the Wang family borrowed money, they continued to raise prices and collect grain.
Another few days passed.
Food prices have not risen.
Because it is too expensive, it is impossible to keep rising, unless there are natural and man-made disasters.
But just after harvesting the autumn grain, every household is still relatively rich in food, and there is not so much demand.
Now, just wait for the news to appear.
What news?
Fight!
The war will cause the food to suddenly skyrocket.
The news of the war was fabricated by Zhou Qiang and deliberately leaked to Boss Wang.
In recent years, Zishui County has never fought a war.
The speculators in Zishui County are a little anxious.
Why?
Because the news of the war that should have appeared has not yet appeared.
Some people can't stand it anymore.
For example, Swift's grain store suddenly sells grain.
Also sold secretly.
Still sold at a high price.
Before everyone could react, they sold all the food.
Made a lot of money!
What is an avalanche?
Wang Yuyan sells grain, triggering an avalanche.
Good guy.
Just one or two hours.
The price of grain in Zishui County has plummeted five or six times, and it is still falling.
But no one bought it!
Wang Juren.
"Dad, something happened!" Wang Laoer yelled.
"I know! Quickly, sell all the food!"
"I can't sell it, the food is still plummeting!"
"What on earth is going on? Aren't we going to fight?" Wang Juren was furious again.
"I don't know, Swift's grain was sold at a high price, and then the grain plummeted!" Wang Lao Er was still in a daze.
"It's broken!" Wang Juren seemed to have thought of something, and shouted, "It's over, it's over!" and passed out.
less than a day.
Food prices in Zishui County have plummeted.
A big fall, a bad fall.
Dropped to half the original price!
If it falls to this level, the price will be considered stable.
Because, at this price, some people accept food tepidly.
The doctor soon came to Wang's house.
"Wang Juren is fine. He is just in a hurry. Take a few doses of medicine and rest." The doctor came.
"It's fine, I'll trouble Dr. Tian." Boss Wang remained calm.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Wang Laoer looked anxious.
"What are you panicking about? You have to hold your breath. You want Mount Tai to collapse in front of you without changing your color." Boss Wang reprimanded him.Because he lost money, Boss Wang was also in a bad mood.
Wang Laoer couldn't help shouting: "Cocoa's food has plummeted, brother, the grain has plummeted!"
"It's okay, the most is to lose some money." Boss Wang was also bleeding in his heart, but he held on to his face.
"Brother, there is also a bank. We borrowed a lot of money from the bank!"
"What? What's going on?"
"Before, when the family ran out of cash, they went to the bank to borrow money." Wang Lao Er said about borrowing money.
"What? You're confused!" Boss Wang was furious, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, so he stretched out his hand and slapped Wang Laoer across the face.
"Why did you hit me?" Wang Lao Er was angry.
"Who asked you to go to the bank to borrow money?" Boss Wang wanted to beat the second son.
Not to be outdone, Wang Lao Er started fighting with Wang Lao Er.
Not only the Wang family lost money.
Businessmen, large and small, in Zishui County lost money.
Many people are facing bankruptcy.
at this time.
A report letter was sent to the Governor's Office.
What was reported was the Wang family's crimes.
