Hearing everyone's compliments, Changsun Chong felt like a spring breeze and felt very comfortable.
He stood up and said, "Everyone, without further ado, let's take action immediately."
"Listen to Master Changsun's orders!"
…
The streets of Chang'an.
Under the advertisement of Huxian Grain Distribution Center.
A group of people had gathered, and suddenly a few guys dressed like ordinary people appeared. They looked around with a sly look, and then said to the people around them: "Everyone, do you know? There is not a single grain of grain left in the Hu County Grain Distribution Center?"
They have long since run out of food to sell!”
"Everyone, don't be deceived. You work hard to get your number plate every day, but you don't know that you have been deceived by Dream Group. You should hurry up and get rid of your number plate!"
"There is no food in Jiangnan at all, it's all a lie!"
Several people spoke loudly to each other.
Sure enough, everyone around him gathered around.
A few people were naturally very proud.
These people were all sent by big grain merchants.
The purpose of spreading rumors is very simple, just to create chaos and make people completely lose trust in the Huxian Grain Distribution Center.
"This crappy advertisement is simply a lie. In fact, Huxian Grain Distribution Center doesn't even sell a grain of grain every day, so how can it get 20,000..."
A guy was talking impassionedly and dancing.
However, the words were not finished yet.
boom.
He was kicked to the ground.
"Who, who kicked me?"
This guy was so angry that he got up to get angry.
However, before he could react, the people around him tied him up with ropes.
"What are you going to do?"
Several people were dumbfounded.
An old man pointed to the advertisement posted on the wall.
Several people turned to look and almost vomited blood.
I saw a line of big words below the advertisement: Recently, some people with ulterior motives have tried to slander the Huxian Grain Distribution Center. If anyone catches these people, each one will be rewarded with fifty thousand coins.
The leader said with hatred: "You guys, you want to take us to the Huxian Grain Distribution Center for just fifty guan?"
The old man said: "Fifty guan is a lot, enough to buy two kilograms of white pork."
In the past, white pork cost fifty pounds per kilogram.
Now, fifty guans can buy two kilograms.
The guys who were caught: "..."
"Let's go!"
"Going to Hu County to collect the reward!"
…
Similar things keep happening all over Chang'an.
Anyone who dares to stand up and speak ill of the Huxian Grain Distribution Center will be caught by the people who suddenly appear and be sent to the Huxian Grain Distribution Center.
…
boom.
In the yard.
Changsun Chong was so angry that he smashed the teacup and teapot in front of him.
"It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable. The Huxian Grain Distribution Center is just a grain store, but he dares to arrest people? Is there any law of the king? Is there any law of heaven? Are you pig-minded? Why don't you go to Jingzhao Mansion to sue?
That guy Wang Laowu?" Changsun Chong roared.
A grain merchant lowered his head and said: "Master Changsun, we have just gone to Jingzhao Mansion. Liu Wentong, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, said that the arrester was not Wang Laowu from the Huxian Grain Distribution Center. Let Jingzhao Mansion be arrested."
It’s impossible for the government to arrest people. It’s the common people who arrest people. If we can tell clearly which common people it is, he will ask the government officials to arrest people for interrogation!”
Changsun Chong said angrily: "That guy Liu Wentong is simply abominable."
The grain merchant asked: "Master Changsun, do you want the Sikong Mansion to come forward and put some pressure on Liu Wentong? Now all the people we sent out have been arrested. This is not the way to go! Our people just went to pay back
After arriving at the Huxian Grain Distribution Center, Wang Laowu actually said that it was impossible to release people unless they paid for redemption, which cost two hundred guan per person... Wang Laowu didn't have to do anything, and in the blink of an eye, he
I just earned one hundred and fifty coins..."
Everyone is very depressed.
Before, no one thought that Wang Laowu could come up with such a despicable method.
Wang Laowu is indeed a representative of Jiangnan businessmen. His ability to make money is really hard to guard against.
Changsun Chong snorted coldly: "Do you think Wang Laowu could really come up with such a vicious method? Du He must have instigated him to do this behind the scenes... We can only admit defeat for this plan and kill everyone."
Let's redeem it. Our main priority is not this matter at all. What we have to do is not to let a grain of grain go out. The Huxian Grain Distribution Center can't last long!"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
…
Huxian Grain Distribution Center.
Wang Laowu and others were sitting and counting money.
Mr. Liu said: "Gong Hu is such a genius. He managed to disrupt the vicious scheme of the big grain merchants in Chang'an without any effort, and he also made us earn thousands of dollars!"
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed.
At first, when Wang Laowu told everyone about Duke Duhe's arrangement, some people were still doubtful.
But immediately, the people in Chang'an City became very enthusiastic and turned over the people who spread the rumors one by one. Everyone was confused.
When the big grain merchants actually paid for the redemption as Du He expected, many people were dumbfounded.
Is there still such an operation?
Wang Laowu said: "Yesterday, I went to the Prince Consort's Mansion to meet my godfather. My godfather said that spreading rumors and causing trouble is just a small trick. The highlight of the big grain merchants should be selling grain. In the next few days, our days will be
I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”
"Yes! Once there is no food in the market, people will panic. At that time, food prices will get higher and higher, and our Huxian Food Distribution Center will be regarded by everyone as the culprit." Mr. Liu analyzed.
"What should we do? Brother Wang, I wonder if Duke Hu has any good ideas?" someone asked.
Wang Laowu said: "My godfather's strategy has only one word, and that is to wait. My godfather said, let nature take its course, and you will get more help."
"Who else can help us now?" Mr. Liu asked.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Laowu.
Wang Laowu shook his head: "I...I don't know either, but you have to trust your godfather."
"Godfather... no, Mr. Hu Guo really doesn't plan to take action?"
The joy just now was diluted in an instant.
…
Less than three days.
The food supply in the markets around Chang'an has dropped sharply.
Big grain merchants are hoarding food and not selling it.
After receiving the news, small grain merchants also waited and watched.
Food prices are rising steadily.
In just two days, the price of food has returned to 80% of the previous market price. However, there is still less and less food in the market.
The people began to panic.
Many people are actually preparing to start hoarding food.
For a time, people were panicked.
The Huxian Grain Distribution Center sold millions of kilograms of grain in nearly a month, which was supposed to be enough for the Chang'an area to consume for several months, but in fact, the entire Chang'an was short of grain.
This is an elusive thing, but it actually happened.
