In a casino, losers are pretty cute in the eyes of winners.
A wolf looks very cute when looking at a lamb.
In the eyes of everyone, the current Governor is just a cute and angry lamb.
To be honest, the rice in the Governor's field is the best growing. According to everyone's estimation, it is not only 1,500 kilograms, but also 1,200 kilograms. How could it be such a coincidence that the difference is only a few kilograms, or three yuan?
Are all the selected farmlands the same?
Weird.
Forget it, forget about it. Anyway, we won money, and it is the most real thing to hold the big white silver in your arms.
The Governor is not short of money and will distribute it on the spot.
Mingyan had a sad face and handed out banknotes one by one without saying a word. There was actually a good person who used a "sketch" method to draw a portrait of Mingyan, adding a tall official as thin as a bamboo pole in the portrait.
"Arm Man" Mingyan looked reluctant.
The Governor is a good man, and the officials also feel that the Governor is still approachable.
After Mingyan had almost distributed the money, Mr. Li Guangdi walked to the three "big wooden boxes", knocked on them here and there, and then pressed the mechanism hidden aside, only to hear a "click"
With a sound, the secret compartment below was opened, and it was filled with golden rice.
There are three hidden compartments, each containing at least several hundred kilograms.
Mr. Li Guangdi dismantled the "mechanism" with a smile, turned around and left without saying a word, leaving everyone behind to go...
The Governor's popularity suddenly exploded.
Sometimes, losing really means winning.
The great harvest has begun.
First came cornbread, then soybeans and sorghum, and then came this year’s biggest “surprise” rice.
There is no need to go into the warehouse for the grain. The purchaser directly pulls the carriage into the field, weighs it on the spot and gives the money check on the spot.
What? Don’t want a banknote?
Okay, you can choose whatever you want from white and colorful silver with large patterns to heavy copper coins.
The grain merchants are going crazy.
At the same time, the two major grain merchants in Ninggut City, "Huangji Tianxia Grain Store" and "Najia Rice Store", were frantically selling grain.
Last year's old rice is only worth half the price of new rice, so you can get whatever you want.
There are also rumors in the market that the Japanese's large grain fleet is heading to the northeast at sea.
There is also news from the south that this year's floods have not had as great an impact on food as in previous years, with only a 15% reduction in production.
For a time, the grain merchants all languished.
Farmers who were originally reluctant to sell became anxious.
Food prices have plummeted by more than 50%. Doesn't this cost people their lives?
The "Bao Dai Miaoliang Tuan" that has been purchased at a high price seems to have lost its enthusiasm.
Now when farmers go to the store with a deed for pre-acquisition, the waiter at the purchase shop is no longer as enthusiastic as before and won't even give him a cup of hot tea.
At this time, in the accounting room of Xue Family Mansion in Ning Guta, Bao Dai and Miao were very busy.
The three of them were sitting on chairs, with a mountain of account books next to them, and the servants and servants were being ordered around.
Baochai didn't speak for two days, with a cold face, "At this time, Mrs. Ru, do you still want to make a lot of money? Three million taels, this is our loss this year, this is still conservative... You,
From now on, you are prohibited from getting involved in any business dealings in the Jia family. You all also listen..."
Daiyu kept her head hanging down and said nothing.
"I heard that Mrs. First Ru insisted on doing this grain business, saying she could make a lot of money..."
"If you don't have that diamond to do the porcelain work, you're not a business owner."
"Are the first and second bedrooms fighting? There will always be some stories."
"I estimate that the grain merchants who stock the grain are arranged by our eldest wife. Think about it, how can the eldest house let the second house take over?"
…
Everyone was talking a lot.
Baochai's face became even colder and he yelled angrily: "Steward, if anyone talks nonsense again, I'll beat him to death with a stick! Close the door and don't allow anyone to come near the accounting room!"
The door of the tent was closed, and Ming Yan personally guarded it. No one was allowed to come within twenty feet.
There was a sound of cups being smashed in the tent. This must be the eldest lady losing her temper with the second lady...
After closing the door and checking carefully several times, Baochai finally returned to her smiling face.
Daiyu unfolded a large map with circles drawn with red and green lines.
Daiyu raised her head and asked: "Sister, are you sure that the second-class maid is the workman of Huang Ji Tianxia Grain Store?"
"It's completely confirmed. She has frequently sent news to Huang Ji in the past two days."
"Okay. Don't disturb her. She is a good chess piece. This is Huang Ji's buying and selling record in the past ten days. The ten largest buyers are all their own people...the food is sent out during the day and sneaked back at night.
Huang Ji’s warehouse, and the ordinary people who flocked to buy food were also arranged by them...which means they are creating the illusion of abundant food..."
"What's going on in the south?" Baochai turned around and asked Miaoyu who was standing aside.
Miaoyu pointed to the red line on the map and said: "Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan and Sichuan are major grain-producing areas. The waterlogging disaster reported by the government is 15% of the grain loss, and Henan reported 20%... For the sake of political performance, officials
We deceived the superiors and deceived the inferiors. Our people actually inspected and got a figure of more than 35%. Moreover, the harvest of the Japanese this year is not very good. The 20% reduction in production is still a conservative estimate, so the so-called news about the Japanese fleet is false... Xue
Master Panxue has surrounded the Japanese island tightly, and no one is allowed to enter the sea without permission... The news he sent is more accurate."
"This will kill people, many, many people...the dirty-hearted officials only care about official position and selfish desires..." Baochai Feng's eyes widened, filled with indescribable anger.
"The palace is more involved in this. Without the emperor's acquiescence, the officials in the southern grain-producing provinces would not have dared to hide the news like this even if they borrowed a hundred courages from them. This is not just about decapitation... it is about
The confiscation of the house implicated the nine clans..." Miaoyu placed in front of Baochai the private letters from the emperor and important officials from several southern provinces.
Being able to obtain such top-secret private letters shows the capabilities of the "Golden Guest Organization".
"How is our offshore fishery situation?"
Daiyu pointed to the area marked with a green line and said: "Nian Tuyao has built 30 shipyards and 189 fisheries in Shandong, Zhejiang and Fujian, and there are still 26 shipyards and 189 fisheries under construction.
Thirty-eight fishing grounds... But the most important thing now is the shortage of manpower, and the most urgent shortage of captains... There is also a shortage of fishermen. In half a month, there will be the last wave of fishing, and I am afraid there will be an even greater shortage of manpower... I have made arrangements to let
People from the Tiandihui helped organize it. Using the sea to make up for the shore, this plan may not be easy to implement."
"Okay, it doesn't matter. Let's proceed in your own way... In Baoyu's words, we are not just doing business, we are also saving this country..."
At this time, in Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s study, Saohong was holding a large account book and reporting.
"The emperor only approved 30% of the armaments we wanted, especially the new weapons, which were only given 50%, and they were still damaged goods... In addition, the shadow killers of the Empress Dowager also disappeared from the imperial city one after another, and many of the emperor's cronies also took them with them.
I rushed to various major provinces with secret letters... They are all officials who understand economics..."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) smiled and said: "It seems that the real grain war has just begun, and it is not entirely about the grain war itself..."
