Xiaosheng is really not a nerd. Chapter 765: The big devil is causing trouble.
At this time, an old man walked in. It was Zhu Quan, the assistant Zhu Donglai had arranged beside Zhu Shide.
Zhu Shide immediately stood up and said politely: "Mr. Zhu, it's so late and you haven't slept yet."
Zhu Quan smiled and said: "Master Zhu, you haven't even slept yet. How dare a servant like me sleep?"
"Mr. Zhu's words are serious. Teacher Deke always regards you as your elder. Mr. Zhu, please sit down."
After Zhu Quan sat down, Zhu Shide asked softly: "Does sir know what happened tonight?"
Zhu Quan nodded: "Well, someone told me that I came here to see Mr. Zhu."
Then he asked: "How does Mr. Zhu plan to deal with it?"
Zhu Shide showed a wry smile: "To be honest, sir, I have thought about it for a long time and have no solution."
Zhu Quan smiled: "It's not that Mr. Zhu doesn't have any countermeasures, it's just that none of the countermeasures he thought of can be used on Lu Tao."
The two sides are not opponents of the same level. Zhu Shide tried his best but could only tickle Lu Tao, while Lu Tao could kill half of Zhu Shide's life with just a wave of his hand.
Zhu Shide exclaimed: "Sir, you really win my heart!"
"To be honest, sir, Suzhou is only one of the nineteen states. Even if the entire army is wiped out, it will not have much impact in terms of numbers. However, Suzhou is the key to the momentum of both sides. If I surrender without fighting, I will inevitably dishearten my subordinates.
Feeling cold, depressed and negative."
Zhu Quan nodded: "Lu Tao's intervention invisibly puts pressure on people, and I always feel that the power is not mine."
"I wonder what good advice you can sir?"
Zhu Quan smiled: "I do have a way, but I still have to go back and discuss it with the master."
Zhu Shide said happily: "Then Mr. Lao will take a trip."
Zhu Quan stood up: "I'll go over now."
"Thank you sir."

The next day, Song Huike left Suzhou and went to purchase grain through the channels he was familiar with. As a former member of the Ye family, he still held great weight in the hearts of grain merchants everywhere.
Xie Fu and Ye Yui are based in Suzhou, serving as the hub to receive express messages from various places and transport cash in place.
Xie Fu and Gu Xianting are both laymen in this industry, and their opponent is a veteran who has been involved in the grain industry for many years. It is impossible without Ye Yui's guidance. This food battle is also a good learning experience for Xie Fu.
.
Once Tantai Heqing leaves, Xie Fu will be in charge of the inside and outside of Tantai Mansion.
On the first day after taking over, Xie Fu realized the complexity of Tantai Heqing's daily affairs.
Ye Yuyi is also very busy.
The night was getting deeper and it was quiet outside. The lights in the study were still on. Xie Fufu looked blank and held a pen in his hand. Calculating food and silver was a huge task.
Ye Yui walked in: "Brother Fu, it's getting late, go to bed."
"According to the information you revealed to me today, plus the premium caused by the acquisition, six hundred thousand taels may not be enough."
Ye Yui smiled and said: "Of course it's far from enough. According to the current price, 600,000 taels is almost 600,000 dan. Without adding in the premium, the autumn harvest of the entire Jiangnan East Road is more than 600,000 dan."
Xie Fu said: "I don't believe that the Zhu family in Hangzhou has so much cash."
"Forgot? Grain merchants collect the grain first and pay off the debt after winter. They don't need to prepare too much money. This is their advantage. However, He Qing's move of using cash to buy it is to hit the opponent's seven inches.
, I’m afraid that my opponent will have to make hasty preparations and be too busy.”
Xie Fu smiled. After today, he admired He Qing from the bottom of his heart. Why did he think that she was very free before and still had time to repair herself, but he couldn't spare the time.
Ye Yui smiled and said: "With such a big family business and business all over the country, you would think she is a vegetarian."
Xie Fu said with concern: "I don't know where He Qing is now?"
"According to the previously agreed route, she set off last night and should arrive in Huzhou early this morning, but that's not necessarily the case."
Xie Fu was surprised and said: "What else could happen?"
Ye Yui smiled: "Doing business is like marching to war. You need to adapt to changes. Well, you don't have to worry too much. Just rest early."
The next day, people from surrounding counties and towns came to Suzhou City one after another. By noon, the number of people reached its peak, and it was hard to estimate, probably tens of thousands.
These people are all from surrounding counties and towns. They have only one purpose in coming to Suzhou City. They hold their household registration certificates and go to the grain store to buy grain.
This move by people from other counties immediately caused people in Suzhou to panic and queue up to buy grain.
Combined with the fact that the grain merchants collected grain at three times the ridiculous price yesterday, I felt that something big was going to happen. Some people who believed in Mr. Lu also followed suit. They could not take advantage of this, but they could not let their wives, children, and parents live without food.
Starve to death.

Those who purchased grain yesterday and then resold it to grain dealers hated themselves even more for their foolish actions yesterday. Within ten days, their families were no longer eligible to purchase grain, and they all looked for other channels to purchase grain.
It's just that everyone is in danger at this moment, and who is willing to sell the food in their hands easily? The more so, the more uneasy and uneasy they feel, and they are like ants on a hot pot.
Xie Fu received the news early in the morning and saw a long queue at the door of every grain store, with no end as far as the eye could see.
I was secretly shocked that Zhu Clan was so capable and able to mobilize so many people.
After some inquiries, I learned that, except for Suzhou City, the price of grain in the remaining six counties in Suzhou suddenly soared yesterday, and all the major grain stores said there was no grain.
I don’t know who spread the rumor that there is going to be a war, and the government is expropriating grain from all over Suzhou. Many reasons caused people to go to the streets to buy grain.
Although the local county government came forward to maintain calm, the situation was already in chaos and beyond control.
Just when many people were unable to buy grain, another news came out that major grain shops in Suzhou City could purchase a bucket of grain with their household registration certificates, so they flocked to Suzhou City, causing the situation before them in an instant.
War? In the current peaceful and prosperous times, how could the people believe such ridiculous rumors? However, most ordinary people cannot read a single word, so how can they distinguish the truth from the false, and they immediately follow the trend in panic.
Mr. Lu's conquest was a bit of a shot at himself in the foot, making the people believe that war was really going to be launched.
Xie Fu frowned. Suzhou has a population of 700,000. Today there are 10,000 people entering Suzhou City. I am afraid there will be more tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
So many people are flocking to Suzhou City to buy food. If they cannot buy food by then, I am afraid it will lead to even more panic.
But I don’t know how Mr. Lu will deal with it.
Thinking of this, Xie Fu immediately moved to Lu Mansion. When he arrived at Lu Mansion, he was told that Lu Tao was now working in the government office.
When we arrived at the government office, it seemed very busy with people coming in and out.
Fortunately, Xie Fu met Feng Shoudao and led Xie Fu to the study to meet Lu Tao.
At this moment, in front of Lu Tao's big eucalyptus were placed official documents from various places, informing them of what happened in the local county.
"Shaodian, you are here."
Hearing Lu Tao's tone, he was not in a good mood.
Xie Fu asked: "Does Master Lu know?"
Lu Tao said: "This is an official document submitted by the surrounding counties. Shao Dian, please take a look at it."
