Chapter 396 Overlord Spear

.Baifeng Grain Store Interior Room, Silence and Gu Rundong looked at each other

Gu Rundong asked: "You always have to make the worst plan in everything. May I ask, what if the externally transferred food cannot be delivered, or it cannot be delivered for a while?"

"Rise the price!" Silent eyes said firmly: "Stay calm and don't mess up. We will also rise when the purchase price rises! Whoever wants to speculate and make this ill-gotten fortune will make them lose money then!"

"You mean," Gu Rundong said thoughtfully: "It's like a cow has crossed the river. If you pull the ox's tail, you can't pull it back. Only by holding the ox's nose will the ox follow."

"President Gu is indeed extraordinary." Chen Si nodded in praise and said, "Now we will use our plans to gain enough time to mobilize food, so that they can jump around first. Once the food arrives, it will be time to settle the score after autumn."

"Mr. General, the demeanor is calm!" Gu Rundong said with a sincere face: "I believe that under your leadership, we will definitely get out of this crisis."

"Don't rush to put a high hat on me." Chen Si shook his head slowly and said, "Are you going to talk about the issue of the book? What should I do?"

"Check." Gu Rundong said with a confusion: "As long as the grain price remains at a high level, the people will neither buy grain with food nor buy new volumes."

"Wrong." Silence firmly denies: "Chasing for the rise and selling down is human nature. Most people will only focus on whether the current price rises or falls, but ignore the accumulated risks. Therefore, as long as the grain price rises, people will definitely spend a lot of money to buy food-related tickets."

Thinking about it carefully, when prices seemed to rise rapidly in the past, there was always a trend of buying. Gu Rundong felt that it was not unreasonable for Lord Fuzun to say this, so he nodded and said, "If that were the case, would he still sell it to them?"

"Sell, why not sell!" Chen Silent sneered: "The more you sell, the greater our initiative will be!" Then he analyzed to Gu Rundong: "The pawnshop and ticket number have already eaten a large number of ticket volumes. It will definitely start the price according to the grain price, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman. If we terminate the sale of grain volumes at this time, we will only lose money and make money profit!" As he said, "Instead of this, why not everyone is making money and let the money cycle, so we can hold on for a longer time!"

The concept of silent virtue is beyond the times. Even a veteran of the shopping mall like Gu Rundong has to think about it for a while before he can understand it. He asked softly: "What sir means is that they make our money, and we make their money, right?"

"No," said silently nodding, and he found that Gu Rundong was a very capable guy.

"But how do we earn their money?" Gu Rundong shook his head slowly and said, "They already have the indigested low-priced tickets. Now it's time to ship, how can they eat them again?"

Silently found it necessary to hold a financial knowledge cram school, or it might be better to compile a literacy book when you wait for this level.

"Sir." Gu Rundong softly called back the distracted deputy master, and smiled silently and apologized, "I think the problem is tragic, where are we talking about it?"

"How can I earn money from the pawnshop?" Gu Rundong's brain-intensive question is understandable, so he tried his best to remind the adults: "Most buyers of high-priced tickets should be ordinary people."

Silent smiled faintly and said, "I investigated the changes in prices in the past two years and found that the rise is fast and fluctuating violently. However, from the twelfth lunar month last year, the prices in Suzhou City have basically not changed much, and there are even signs of falling." He said, "I had a bowl of chaos before coming, saying that the food should rise, and it would increase by a cent tomorrow, which also caused the displeasure of the diner boss. He said that prices have not risen sharply for a long time, and they will definitely not be so sensitive."

"Why is this?" After Rang Si said, Gu Rundong really felt unusual.

"A person as smart as you will be blinded and you will not see Mount Tai." Silent smiled faintly and said, "As you over-the-counter invoices, the money on Suzhou market~~~~~ Even those ticket bankers, even those ticket bankers, have purchased ticket bankers directly and lending them to the people to buy various ticket bankers. A large amount of money flows into your pockets." Paused for a moment, and then said, "Of course, those ticket bankers are too powerful. If you want to buy your tickets, you don't need to sell them. It can be said that in Suzhou City, you are the ones who hold a lot of real money and silver."

Speaking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but look down on the lack of investment channels in this era. With the saturation of the loom in Suzhou City, merchants with a lot of money could not find other investment channels~~~~~~~~ In other words, they willingly buried a jar of gold and silver in the ground and enjoyed the pleasure of a rich man.

This time he quickly came to his senses and continued: "The common people who want food rolls actually have no money in their hands. They only have colorful ticket rolls. There are pawnshops and money shops that do not want to buy, but they will have a lot of inputs." He said with a sarcastic smile: "What will happen if you think?"

Gu Rundong was still smart after all, so he said: "Sign Money!" Private loans have existed since ancient times, but they have been at the pawn stage of "the borrowed money is far lower than the value of the collateral" and there has been no obvious change until the beginning of the Republic of China.

"So the final result is that 80% of the people borrowed money from seals and bought various grain rolls." Silent eyes flashed with gleam: "And the ones used to mortgage the pawn shop and the money shop are other types of ticket rolls."

Gu Rundong felt more and more that this young adult's understanding of money and wealth had transcended the scope that ordinary people could imagine, but would reality really develop in the direction he imagined? Gu Rundong was not sure yet.

But this did not affect his unconditional support for Lord Fuzun, because the grain and oil shops in Suzhou City had already reached the verge of collapse and were not something that small and medium-sized merchants like them could resist.

"Even if you are a dead horse, you have to try it out!" After some conspiracy, Gu Rundong finally made up his mind and fisted at the silent world: "Our grain and oil chamber of commerce is the only leader of the generals!"

"Very good!" Chen Si nodded in approval: "We will work together and we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty!"

Under an unprecedented crisis, survival became the highest pursuit. The two sides reached a united front almost without negotiation. Gu Rundong asked bluntly: "Sir, what do you need our grain and oil chambers to do?"

"Three things!" Chen Mo said politely to him: "First stop buying grain from Taicang, Changshu will concentrate all the funds, and the government will take the lead, jump out of Suzhou Prefecture and go to sell grain elsewhere!"

"Okay!" Gu Rundong nodded heavily and said, "I am a vast heaven and vast land and wealth! Those people are powerful and cannot control all markets!"

"Secondly, in the name of grain merchants, visit all chambers of commerce that have tickets issued," said silently: "Every family tells them that this is the last chance to get rid of the shackles on their bodies and regulate the issuance of invoices. If you don't save them, the next one will die!"

"The villain is also worried," Gu Rundong whispered: "What if those businesses are coerced by money shops and pawn shops, and they follow them to take advantage of the situation?"

Silent narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You don't have to worry. Helping the evil will only cause your own fault, but it will not help the general situation."

Gu Rundong suppressed his doubts and asked, "What about the third thing?"

"Third~~~~" silently looked at him with a long voice: "Look at this to all chambers of commerce that are willing to join us." He raised his hand and said to the guard Tiezhu beside him: "Get the instructions of the 'Ticket Management Committee'."

Tiezhu was stunned for a moment, and handed the things he had taken from the cowhide bag he was carrying to the Lu family and Pan family to the adults with both hands.

He silently said, "Give it to President Gu." Then he said to Gu Rundong: "Tell you the truth, this was originally planned to give to the big family behind the money shop and the pawn shop. I thought they would be a little more awake and stand up and organize the "Ticket Management Committee" to be nice to everyone." He said, "If they disappoint me alone, then let's jump to them and do it yourself. I don't believe it. Without him, Butcher Zhang, we won't be able to eat the pig with hair!"

After hearing what the adult said, Gu Rundong had already browsed the file and suddenly became more confident and said, "If it really works, it would be a blessing for all the merchants in Suzhou!" Then he patted his chest at Chen Si and said, "With this good thing, the villain is much more sure of what the adult told me!"

"Okay." Silently nodded, giving him an encouragement smile: "For your Grain and Oil Chamber of Commerce and for this official, President Gu must do his best. As long as you pass this level, I will give you an unimaginable reward."

Gu Rundong felt aroused and said happily: "Thank you, Lord Mansion!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He ordered Gu Rundong to report it immediately once the number of money that could be transferred was counted, and he left "Baifeng" silently and went into the sedan chair to go to the government office.

On the way back, the silence could clearly feel the atmosphere of the city, from serene to commotion, and the soft Wu dialect that I often hear in my ears turned into quarrels, curses, and even the expressions on people's faces began to be distorted.

"Do you smell anything?" asked quietly as the sedan chair fell.

"What does it smell?" Tiezhu and Sanchi stretched their noses hard and smelled.

"The smell of gunpowder." said quietly, then brushed his sleeves and entered the government office gate, went straight into the second hall to order people to change their clothes, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Beat the drum and go to the hall!"

"Dong!Dong!Dong!Dong!" The heavy and solemn drum sounded throughout the government office. The officials and officials of the three squads of yamen immediately put down their work and ran to the second hall from every corner. The solemn and silent squad roster came to the yamen.

I have to admit that after taking office for two months in silence, I would at least obey these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and have their energy and discipline that were beyond my reach.

The silent and determined gaze swept across everyone, then looked ahead without saying a word.

Everyone stood quietly without the orders of the master, and no one dared to move. If someone came in from outside, they would mistakenly think that they had entered the City God Temple.

After about a stick of incense, Wang Yongji hurried in, and was stunned for a moment, then saluted to Chen Si: "Go to see the Lord."

"Sit." Silence only spit out one word.

"Yes." Wang Yongji bowed his hand and sat on the chair at the bottom left of the big table.

After a while, an official wearing a seventh-rank official uniform, thin, dark-faced, but with a tall eyebrows and a concave nose, making people feel inviolable at first sight, came in from outside and saluted to the silence that was standing high on the main seat: "Secretary Hai Rui, please see the Lord."

Although the prefect and the magistrate should have passed the official documents and did not meet casually, Changzhou, like Wu County, was attached to the Guo County Wang Yongji and even developed into the Qionglin Society. Chen Si had not met this magistrate Hai during his tenure.

This is indeed no wonder that silent. He is the Shangguan. Of course, he has to wait for the officials to take the initiative to meet. But Haibijia has been in office for more than two months, placing lawsuits and observing the people's conditions. He has less than three hours of sleep a day, and has almost traveled all over Changzhou County. He is very busy and has no time to come to visit Master Guan Zun. Who do you think you are blamed for this matter?

What's even more annoying is that Chen Mo gave the letter to Hai Rui, thinking that he would come with gratitude and tears, review the mistakes in his usual work, and promise not to worry about him anymore. But he was like a muddy bull in the sea with no news. How could this make the dignified Mansion Master who had just been erected?

So I have made up my mind to silence. If you love anyone, you will never interact with each other until you die! So this unique scene in the Ming Dynasty officialdom appeared.

But when something big happens and the sword needs to be unsheathed, silent immediately "took past grudges and pulled out the sword of the Heavenly Sword!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When everyone arrived, Gui Youguang explained what happened concisely and clearly. The lobby finally couldn't remain solemn, and a buzzing sound rang out.

With a "bang", the awe-in-the-crank sounded, and it was immediately silent.

"Everyone!" said silently: "It's no secret that we are facing a war without gunpowder but even more cruel. If we lose, Suzhou City will fall into endless chaos, and the control of this city will also be transferred from the government to the hands of those noble officials!" As he said, his majestic eyes swept across everyone, making every guy with a ghost in his heart feel like a knife. Then he heard from the Lord of the Mansion: "I know that the people in the hall will inevitably have thousands of threads with those families." With all the connections, now I don’t ask you to destroy your relatives for justice, I just want you to stay out of the matter!" As he said that, he waved his hand firmly and said, "Who is such a person? Please leave now. I will take your long holiday and wait for this period before taking part in the job." Everyone looked at each other, but no one moved... This is not a glorious thing, who would admit it? Of course, there are also many people who are prepared to inquire about the news and disrupt trouble, so naturally no one will leave.

Chen Si sneered inwardly. He knew that this would happen, so he raised his tone and said, "Master Hai!"

"The official is here." Hai Rui stood up and bowed.

"I order you to be the temporary security committee member of Suzhou, the general leader of one government, two counties and three yamen, and lead all officials and yamen runners to maintain the stability of Suzhou City!" He said silently and in a deep voice: "If you spread rumors and cause trouble, arrest you! If you rob and cause trouble, arrest you! If you gather to cause trouble, arrest you! If you stumble on water, arrest you!" Each word is full of scammering coldness, causing the temperature in the lobby to drop suddenly.

"As long as you think it is necessary, you can take any action against anyone!" Chen Si picked up his command arrow and handed it to him with both hands.

"Yes!" Hai Rui took it with both hands, looked up at the silence. After seeing his face clearly, Hai Rui couldn't help but feel a little dull, but then he returned to normal. He turned around and raised his arrow and said, "All officials followed me to retreat!" He then led everyone out of the second hall and headed straight out of the yamen!

Only Gui Youguang and Wang Yongji were left in the second hall. They said to Wang Yongji in a silent and deep voice: "Brother Runlian, hurry south to Hangzhou for 600 miles and ask for help from the Governor!" As he said, he sent him a letter: "What I want to say in this letter, Brother Runlian will definitely not disappoint me."

"I will definitely live up to my great trust!" Wang Yongji said in a deep voice, and then left with the letter.

"Sir, what am I doing?" Gui Youguang asked.

"Catch people!" A cold light flashed in silent eyes: "Someone told "Tonghui", "Hefeng", "Yongchangdang," Xinrendang, the four ticket numbers and pawn shops, and the seals placed were seriously more than the three-minute monthly profit stipulated by the court. You ask the owner of the four stores!"
