When asked by the old housekeeper, Wang Cheng couldn't help but be speechless: "It's not like I didn't give you a penny. The purchase price of military rations is ten cents per liter... My Jiangnan grain has always been forty cents per liter, and the difference is three times. What’s the difference between an open robbery?”
Hearing Wang Cheng's answer, the old housekeeper couldn't help but snorted and waved his hand, indicating that Wang Cheng could leave.
Wang Cheng was puzzled and asked a few questions, but was glared at by the old housekeeper.
"Boss Wang, what do you want me to say to you? Is it possible that all the grain in your Wangji Grain Store is hanging out in front of the door, so that others can snatch it away? Except for some ready goods on the cabinet, the rest are all in the warehouse, Old Man I don’t believe that Qin Feng’s men will rush directly to your granary.”
"After all, are you too cowardly? You just hand over the food honestly when others threaten you?"
"The purchase price of military rations is ten cents per liter. The money has been handed over to you. It is buying, not robbing. This is a matter of course. There are laws to follow since ancient times. Even if you file a lawsuit with the state government, you can It’s not reasonable either.”
The deal is done and there is no room for maneuver on this matter.
Qin Feng spent 10,000 taels of silver to forcefully buy 10,000 shi of grain, which was so outrageous that it could only be regarded as a "forced conquest."
If Wang Ji tried every means to get the grain back, what kind of crime would it be to rob the army of grain? The worst case may be beheading, but the worst case may be the Yi tribe!
This is the ability of Qin Feng's children. He is best at using small things to make big things happen.
Qin Feng would make a lot of money if he didn't want these ten thousand stones of food. If he wanted to, he would have to risk a serious crime.
snort!
After all, Wang Cheng is still the coward!
Wang Cheng looked aggrieved: "It's not my fault. The generals around Qin Feng are all extremely fierce. Only three of them came. If they disagreed, they beat my man's head to pieces. Especially a man who makes bones. , a bone came down and smashed the old elm table into two halves, which almost scared me to death."
"Those people, where are they soldiers? They are clearly no different from bandits."
"The people we come into contact with are all polite, courteous and courteous. Where have we ever encountered such an unreasonable behavior?"
Seeing Wang Cheng complaining, the old housekeeper sighed and felt that Wang Cheng could not be entirely blamed for this matter. After all, no one expected that Qin Feng's guy would arrive so quickly, and even the Lin family was not prepared.
At this moment, a servant of the Lin Mansion ran over panting.
"Old housekeeper, I bought it back. This is the new rare item from Qin's company today. It's called candy."
The old housekeeper took the small cloth bag handed by the servant.
After unfolding, paper eggs appeared inside, with extremely hard shells.
After breaking it open with force, there is a crystal clear, gem-like sugar ball inside.
"Is this candy? It's the first time I've seen it. It's new."
The old butler hesitated for a moment, then put the candy into his mouth. His eyes, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life and had been calm for a long time, suddenly bloomed with infinite brilliance.
"Um?!"
The old housekeeper kept making vague sounds, but he couldn't even say a single word.
The taste of this candy refreshed the old butler's understanding of sweetness.
Seeing Wang Cheng watching eagerly, the old housekeeper handed one over.
Wang Cheng put it in his mouth and smashed it, and his expression suddenly became rich.
There is surprise, information, but mostly fear.
After tasting it for a long time, Wang Cheng slapped his thigh: "It's broken! Once this candy is launched, it will sweep the entire Jiangnan region."
"The literati trend is prevalent in the south of the Yangtze River. Those literati like these things the most. This little candy will definitely become the new favorite of the literati circle. I am afraid that it will even be compared with...tea and wine."
"It just so happens that this candy is the sole business of Qin's company. Aren't we just greedy?"
The old butler was full of praise for the taste of the candy, and at the same time waved his hand, indicating that Wang Cheng should not pay too much attention.
"Since this is the only business, let Qin's Company do it. Although this candy is good, it is just a pleasant thing after all. Compared with the sugar, tea, salt, grain and other businesses we run, it is nothing. It’s nothing. People can stop eating this candy, but they can’t stop eating, right?”
Seeing that the old housekeeper didn't take the candy seriously, Wang Cheng stopped saying anything.
After all, Wang Ji Grain Store has always looked after the Lin family.
The old housekeeper glanced at the servant: "Why does this candy smell like tea?"
The servant quickly explained: "To answer your question, according to the introduction of Qin's company, this is tea sugar, which is made from the finest tea leaves and sugar. One sip is equivalent to eating sugar and drinking tea. In addition, In addition, there are health-preserving candies, which are said to contain a lot of health-preserving medicinal herbs. There are also wine candies, fruit candies, grain candies, and toffee candies, and there are so many varieties."
The old housekeeper couldn't help but laugh: "This Qin Feng is really just like the rumors. He can always come up with something new. But this candy has nothing to do with my Lin family's industry, so it doesn't have to be too much. care."
At the same time, Qin's business has been surrounded.
The scene was bustling with people, and after hearing the news, there was an endless stream of customers who came to buy candies.
"Give me twenty tea candies."
"I want fifty health candies and thirty fruit candies."
"Wine candies? Fresh! If you take one bite, you'll be eating candies and drinking wine again? Give me ten to try first."
"This Qin's company is really smart. It can actually think of wrapping wine in sugar."
"Strange, how is this done? These candies look crystal clear, like gems."
Tangqi people are not short of money.
Since Lu Ming shipped the first batch of candies and officially launched them on the market, Qin's business's turnover reached 8,000 taels of silver in just one day.
If this continues, when candy becomes popular all over the south of the Yangtze River, it won't be long before making a fortune every day.
Qin Feng was sitting in the backyard of the store, but his mood was a bit complicated.
While admiring the candy tycoon, he made one or two giggles from time to time.
But when I saw the letter on the table, I felt so depressed that I wanted to die.
When I came to Tangqi, my buttocks were not even hot, and the saint's order came, ordering Qin Feng to return to Beijing!
Oh shit!
You don't need to think about it to know that it must be the result of pressure from Lin Taibao and the imperial concubine at the same time.
However, this result was not beyond Qin Feng's expectation.
After all, Qin Feng did not apply to the Ministry of Personnel in advance for coming to Jiangnan this time, which was a decision made without authorization.
Now, just as Qin's business has opened, transferring Qin Feng back to Kyoto is tantamount to severely damaging Qin Feng's business layout.
As everyone knows, the reason why Qin Feng is depressed is that he can't bear to part with the customs and customs of Jiangnan, which is much more interesting than Kyoto. As for the survival of Qin's business in Jiangnan, Qin Feng is not worried. After all, Ning Hu and others are here to guard it. If the Lin family dares to harm Qin's business, they can just roll up their sleeves and get started.
As the saying goes, one force can defeat ten. Most of the time, violence will have miraculous effects.
