Du He learned in detail what Wang Laowu had done after arriving in Jiangnan, and was very satisfied with his godson's performance.
So he left the matter of regulating grain prices in Chang'an City and Hu County to Wang Laowu, and Du He only needed to check the results every few days.
Wang Laowu happily accepted the order: "Don't worry, godfather, my son will not let you down!"
The guy came out of the yard happily.
Wang Laowu saw Lao Fu who was walking with him beside him, and said with a smile: "Old Fu, how long have you been following your godfather?"
The old man said proudly: "The time has passed. I have watched the young master grow up. The young master has had extraordinary performance since he was a child. For example, when he was born, the entire Laiguo Duke's palace was full of phoenixes and dragons, and the sun was shining brightly.
!”
Lao Fu likes reading these days, and also likes reading history books. He remembers that since ancient times, when great people were born, visions would appear.
Our young master is such an awesome person, so naturally he is not simple!
Wang Laowu took out a heavy money bag from his sleeve and handed it to Lao Fu: "Old Fu, from now on we will be a family. You have to say a few nice words for me in front of your godfather!"
Old Fu glanced at Wang Laowu.
Snapped.
He slapped the money bag to the ground.
"Don't do this, am I one of those greedy people? Also, kid, let me warn you, since you have accepted the young master as your godfather, you must do things well in the future. If you dare to have any evil intentions, you will not wait.
If the young master takes action, I will beat you to death! Bah, you are like a dog and you want to bribe me!" Old Fu said disdainfully.
After saying that, the old man stepped forward and waved.
Suddenly, several bearers rushed out from the side and placed the sedan in front of the old man.
A middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and opened the curtain of the sedan, and diligently led the old man onto the sedan.
The sedan flew away.
Wang Laowu was stunned.
He Nuonuo muttered to himself: "Isn't this guy just a housekeeper? How come this arrogance is bigger than that of a county magistrate, and he still dares to scold me!"
Someone passed by, grabbed Wang Laowu's sleeve, and whispered: "You have to be careful what you say, that person just now is the Son of Sinong County, and he was just canonized by His Majesty a few days ago!"
"County son..."
Wang Laowu was immediately confused.
Is this world so crazy?
Can a housekeeper or a farmer get a title?
Mother!
Then, Wang Laowu counted with his fingers, and suddenly discovered an extraordinary situation, that is, many of the people who followed Du He seemed to have obtained knighthoods.
At first, Yuchi Baolin went to Lantian to dig coal and got the title of county prince.
Then there are two brothers, Wei Shuyu and Wei Shuwan, who got the title of county viscount by raising pigs.
Dai Jinyun, who contributed greatly to the promotion of pork, was named county son.
Then there is Lao Fu, this guy actually got his title from farming.
Suddenly, Wang Laowu raised his head and said with confidence: "My godfather is a title-making machine. I must work hard. What if one day there is smoke from my ancestral grave and I get the title, hahaha!"
Wang Laowu is full of energy.
This guy followed Du He's instructions.
Within a few days, food prices in the area around Chang'an slowly dropped.
However, within a few days, the price of food went up again.
Wang Laowu was a little confused and hurried to the county government office to ask Du He for advice.
Du He was drinking tea and said calmly: "Don't worry, this matter is all under my control! I asked you to sell food before, just to scare the snakes and then lure the snakes out of their holes... Lao Wu, the food supply has been so bad recently
The price has not come down, is there someone secretly buying up grain?"
"Dad, you are really good at predicting things! It was only after Zhang Jian went to investigate that he found out that in Chang'an and various places, there are people secretly purchasing grain, as much as they want. In other words, the grain we put out has not
It was not bought by the common people, but by these people!" Wang Laowu said.
Du He smiled and said, "So, do you understand what dad means?"
"Son, I understand. What dad means is to arrest these people and kill them all?" Wang Laowu said seriously.
Du He: "..."
boom.
He kicked Wang Laowu to the ground.
"Pig brain... You still claim to be a business genius, but you didn't realize that there are huge business opportunities in this? That's all, this time, let me take action and demonstrate to you what a sexy operation is!
"Du He stood up, shook his head and sighed.
Dad wants to take action?
Wang Laowu was so excited.
Later, Du He personally went into battle, called Zhang Jian, and asked Zhang Jian to arrange for people from Poison Fang to go to Chang'an and other places to find out who was responsible for this large-scale purchase of grain.
That night, a list was sent to Du He.
Du He took the list and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that the fish has been baited. Lao Wu, starting from tomorrow, slow down the speed of putting food on the market!"
"Dad, if we reduce the amount of grain put into the market, I'm afraid the price of grain will continue to rise!"
"Just do as I say!"
"yes!"
Wang Laowu hurriedly prepared according to Du He's arrangements.
The next day, half of the food available in the markets was reduced.
Grain prices quickly returned to their previous prices, which were twice what they were before the price increase.
All the food sent out by Dream Group was snapped up.
For a time, people were panicked.
The people began to complain again.
When the news reached the palace, Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was about to report the incident, but suddenly found that His Majesty was missing.
Later, rumors spread that His Majesty was troubled by the issue of rewarding Du He and had not planned to summon the ministers in the past few days.
…
Chang'an.
In a house.
A group of businessmen dressed in brocade clothes gathered here.
In the middle is an old person, around sixty years old, with white beard and hair.
This man's name is Su Hongchun, a well-known businessman in Chang'an City, and he specializes in the grain business.
Su Hongchun's method of doing grain business is quite simple, that is, buy at low prices and high prices. For example, during the autumn harvest season, grain prices are the lowest in the year, while after spring, when the harvest is slow, grain prices are the highest in the year.
point.
of course there are exceptions.
For example, when various feeds from the Pig Tycoon Pig Feed Processing Factory appeared recently, others just talked about it, or scolded the Pig Tycoon Pig Feed Processing Factory for wasting food, but Su Hongchun sensed a business opportunity.
With so much food being consumed, there will be a shortage of food in the coming year. By then, those who have food will be able to achieve great things.
Therefore, he immediately summoned a dozen friends to raise money and purchase grain at low prices simultaneously with the Dream Group.
Afterwards, grain prices were pushed to more than twice the market price.
I thought I could make a steady profit this time.
Unexpectedly, Dream Group suddenly shipped grain from Jiangnan. There was suddenly more grain in the market and the price dropped.
At this time, Su Hongchun couldn't sit still and immediately summoned people to buy up the grain sold by Dream Group.
At this moment, many people sitting in the main hall were worried.
Someone said: "It is said that the Dream Group has transported a lot of food from Jiangnan this time. It would be great if we could buy it all. If we can't eat it, I'm afraid there will be problems!"
