In November, the sky in Chang'an City is gloomy, the cold wind is howling, and catkins are flying.
Countless people were still running around in the streets looking for a living, walking in a hurry. Many people came out of the department store with sad faces and even some at a loss. There were no vegetables for sale today?
Everyone rushed to tell each other and rushed to the West Market. The vegetable market, which used to be crowded with people, became a little deserted. None of the familiar vegetable farmers were missing. Some withered and yellow vegetable leaves on the ground were picked up by the cold wind and rolled all over the ground, showing a sense of desertion.
,desolate.
At this scene, everyone's hearts went cold.
How can we survive without food?
The general manager of the department store also felt chilled. After hearing the news, he hurried to the backyard and watched the empty cars returning. His heart skipped a beat and he rushed up and asked, "What's going on? Where are the vegetables?"
A steward in charge of purchasing hurriedly came up and said: "Manager, we went to the farmers' houses outside the city to purchase according to our past custom. Those unscrupulous people didn't know why they were crazy and refused to sell, and they didn't tell me why."
"Don't you have supply contracts signed with many bankers?" the manager asked, almost roaring.
The purchasing manager felt countless spittles splashing on his face, but he did not dare to wipe it off. He quickly explained: "Go back to the manager, those dealers would rather compensate than sell, and the compensation will be paid on the spot."
"You bastard, you damned unruly man, how much compensation can you expect? What can you sell if you don't have a grocery store? The goods are out of stock just two days after opening. Where is the reputation? How can we continue to operate in the future?" The manager was furious, and his eyes were red thinking of the consequences.
"How about we also follow Hanwang's example. When we didn't supply Hanwang, didn't Hanwang send people to the door to ask for it? Let's also send people up to pull out all the vegetables from the farmer's house and pull them back."
The manager wanted to give him a big slap in the face. If the King of Han could do this, could he do it? He didn't know what his identity and power were.
What's more, the supply contract signed with the banker was only a fine, but it was already a huge sum of money for the banker, how could it be obtained? Thinking of this, the manager had a premonition that something was wrong, and said in a deep voice: "There must be someone behind this.
If there is a problem, arrange for someone to check it out."
"What about the food?"
The manager kicked him over, pointed at him and yelled: "Didn't you have a great idea just now? But why can't you just come forward and find someone to do it? I'll give you two hours. If you can't see the food, just do it."
No need to live anymore.”
The purchasing manager's expression changed drastically, but he did not dare to say anything more and left in a hurry.
After leaving the backyard of the Department Store, the purchasing manager found the Bangzihui, a group of people who worked hard to make a living on the river transport. They were acquaintances who worked together, but were bullied by other forces. Everyone united and formed a gang because of the hard work.
At that time, the big stick never left his body, picking and lifting, which was very convenient, so he gave this order.
How can a group of miserable, uneducated people expect to come up with a nickname?
After the power grew, the leader found that it was faster to collect money through extortion, and gradually lost his responsibilities, and his heart began to become dirty. He led a group of people to do all kinds of evil, and they were all struggling beings at the bottom of society.
He also gained some fame.
All it takes is one hundred guan of silver, and a leader of the Bangzi Society will lead dozens of people and leave the city with the signed contract.
The leader is a reckless man who is as desperate as a Saburo. He dares to risk his life in a fight and is ruthless enough. He has learned some martial arts, such as the three sticks, which are either to kill him or to kill me. Because his surname is Liu, he is nicknamed Liu San stick.
Liu Sanbang led his people straight to the first farmer's house. This family had four sons, all of whom were strong and good at crops. The family was richer than others. In addition, some time ago, they were in Qinjiazhuang.
I worked hard, saved some money, built a yard, cleared wasteland and planted a large area of vegetables.
All four sons have gone to work in Qinjiazhuang Industrial City. There is only one old man in the family. He was also a ruthless man who went to the battlefield. Unfortunately, he has a broken leg and cannot move easily. He is sitting under the tree at the gate enjoying the cool air when he thinks of
I didn’t have the last meal before, but when I think about my current life, I feel very satisfied.
The old man's wife was also an honest person. She sat on the stone Shanna sole next to her and said: "My boss, matchmaker Zhang from the next village came over yesterday to arrange a marriage. The woman is from Luojiazhuang. She is virtuous and responsible. I heard she has a big butt.
It’s good to have a good family, I will be twenty-three when the new year comes, I can’t delay it any longer.”
"What's the hurry? We are following the King of Han to earn a living. Life is getting better and better. It's not like before. Didn't Dalang say he won some contribution award yesterday? There will be a silver reward at the end of the year, at least five coins. We will never earn so much in our lives.
A lot, with this money, the matchmakers from all over the country can break the threshold of our home, pick it slowly, don't be hasty."
"Thanks to the King of Han, he is a living Bodhisattva and a great benefactor to our people. We must leave our food to the King of Han no matter what. We must not lose our conscience."
"What bastard words are you talking about? How can I still have no conscience? Besides, the price offered by Hanwang is not low, and they also help us compensate for the penalty for breach of contract. This is a huge kindness. I have never read a book, but I still know how to be grateful."
"It's good that you know. I won't tell you anymore. I have to go in and offer incense to King Han to bless him for his longevity."
"Go ahead, remember to clean the Hanwang Immortality Card, and be careful not to destroy it." The old man warned, hummed a tune, and was in a happy mood. When he saw a group of people rushing over, he didn't care, but asked kindly: "
Where do you guys come from, but are you looking for someone? I’m familiar with this place, tell me, who are you looking for?”
"Is that you, Old Man Zhou?"
"That's right, it's me." The old man noticed that the person coming was not good, and he immediately became alert.
It was Liu Sanbang who came, took out the contract and said: "You signed a supply contract with the department store, and now you have breached the contract and refused to supply the goods. You need to give an explanation for this matter."
"Didn't you tell me that? We are willing to accept the punishment and pay a total of silver according to the contract."
"That won't work. Our boss said we only want vegetables, and I won't bully you. Based on today's vegetable prices, you can buy five thousand gold vegetables for a piece of silver." Liu San stick came up and the lion opened his mouth.
"Impossible, there is no such price." The old man was anxious.
But Liu Sanbang said coldly: "Old man, don't be shameless to you. If you keep talking nonsense, I will kill you. Ten thousand kilograms of vegetables must be taken away today, not even one kilogram less. Brothers -"
"exist!"
Everyone shouted loudly.
"Pick vegetables and load them into the truck." Liu Sanbang shouted sharply.
Everyone knew the inside story before they came and agreed to rush to the vegetable field. When the old man saw this posture, he became furious and yelled: "You are robbing, do you have any laws?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm here to get the compensation. The contract is clearly written. The payment will be cut off within the stipulated time and the compensation will be a total of silver. Our boss doesn't want money, just food. Is it a problem if I bring someone to take away the silver?"
"You can't have ten thousand catties of food with a piece of silver. You are blackmailing me."
"That's right, your family doesn't have 10,000 kilograms of vegetables. It has weighed 3,000 kilograms, and there is still a shortfall of seven thousand kilograms. According to the market price, seven thousand kilograms is about ten guan of silver. That means your family has to pay ten guan of silver. What's the difference?
Money, otherwise don’t blame me for demolishing the house, tsk tsk, this courtyard is newly built, right? It looks really good, it would be a pity to demolish it." Liu Sanbang said with pity on his face as he looked at the courtyard, he was a master of extortion.
Perfect.
Old man Zhou is not an ordinary banker who is honest and kind. He has been on the battlefield and still has some vision. He realized that something was wrong and did not try hard. When he saw his mother-in-law coming out to check the situation, he quickly shouted: "Don't say anything and come here."
The old woman had never seen such a posture before. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly came to Old Man Zhou and asked nervously: "Master, what happened? What do they...what should we do?"
Old man Zhou motioned for the other party to come closer and whispered: "Quickly enter the house, go out through the back door, and go to Qinjiazhuang to find someone. The King of Han will take care of us."
"Ah..." The old woman was confused, but she always listened to Old Man Zhou and quickly entered the house.
Liu Sanbang didn't hear what was said clearly and asked: "What are you doing?"
The old woman was so frightened that she did not dare to move, her face turned pale.
Old man Zhou quickly explained: "Can you compensate me? I still have a lot of money at home, so I'll give it to you. I won't pay for the food at Huo Huo's house, okay?"
Liu Sanbang wanted food, so of course he wouldn't agree to it, but since he had extra money, he wouldn't refuse. He said with satisfaction: "You know what you're doing, go in and get it."
The frightened old woman breathed a sigh of relief and quickly entered the house.
After a while, Old Man Zhou saw Liu Sanbang's unkind look and began to doubt him. Knowing that something was wrong, he quickly said, "What do you call this good man?"
"You bastard, are you lying to me?" Liu Sanbang realized something was wrong and scolded someone beside him: "Take two people in and take a look. Don't let anyone escape."
