When Zhao Jie heard that he was not arranged to expel these people, he felt relieved and immediately arranged for people to go to Changyuan County to buy sulfur and astragalus.
Because the matter was urgent, he bought these two items on the same day. Zhao Ping added these two items to the fairy soap respectively, turning them into sulfur fairy soap and traditional Chinese medicine fairy soap, and then let these people bathe in sulfur fairy soap in batches. If If it still doesn't work, take a bath with Chinese herbal fairy soap again.
Zhao Ping had to drive these servants away after taking a shower, but he had to go in to take a shower. Unexpectedly, after taking a shower, not only did he feel cleaner than ever before, but he also stopped itching.
Only then did they understand Zhao Ping's good intentions, and everyone couldn't help covering their faces and crying. After crying, they all ran to the little master and knelt down in front of him, vowing to do good things for the little master.
However, what puzzled Zhao Ping was that he got up the next day and brought dozens of men, women, and children, claiming to be newly purchased servants.
After Zhao Ping inquired about it, he realized that the price of rice in Changyuan County has increased from three guans last year to six or seven guans, and he heard that it will continue to rise!
Many poor households and tenant farmers have gone bankrupt. Eating wild vegetables has become a trivial matter. In some places, they have even begun to eat Guanyin soil. The young lady of Xia He starved to death from eating Guanyin soil.
It seems that in this drought era, some grain profiteers not only have no compassion for others, but instead take the opportunity to cause national calamity. This is really deplorable.
How could I let these people starve to death!
Zhao Ping then said to Zhao Jie: "You arrange for Zhao Tian to purchase 10,000 tons of rice from other places immediately. We have urgent needs."
Zhao Jie was dumbfounded after hearing this. He looked at these new servants and said cautiously: "Xiao Langjun, although there are many of them, they won't be able to purchase ten thousand tons of rice. Besides, we may not have enough money."
Zhao Ping looked in the direction of the county seat and said: "We have a workshop in Zhaojiazhuang. Our neighbors work here and they won't starve to death. It's hard to say about other places in Changyuan County."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ping said in a decisive tone: "This time, we are just trying to sell iron, but we still don't want people to starve to death. You tell the grain merchants in other places that if they are willing to give credit, if they are not willing to give credit, , just use fairy soap, fairy medicine soap, and sulfur fairy soap as collateral, anyway, we don’t have to worry about sales.”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Ping drew a stone mill with a wooden shaft in the middle and a wooden wheel under the wooden shaft. Then he pointed at the drawing and said: "This is a water-flush rice mill. There happens to be a river beach in Zhaojiazhuang, so it can be used The water force is used to grind rice, and the rice is immediately sold in Changyuan County."
When Zhao Jie heard that Zhao Ping had invented a new rice-milling tool and set up a rice workshop, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and immediately asked: "Xiao Langjun, how much does this rice cost?"
Zhao Ping looked at the new servants in front of him, then looked at Changyuan County in the south, and said decisively: "The selling price is the price of rice last year, three guans, not a penny more."
The housekeeper Zhao Jie was shocked. He looked at Zhao Ping with an unbelievable look and said: "Xiao Langjun, our food purchase price is five guan. Not only did we not make any money, but we almost lost three guan per load including labor and freight. No matter how big the family fortune is, it cannot withstand such a huge loss."
After saying this, he couldn't help but shed tears and knelt down involuntarily.
The servants who came to sell themselves all knelt down and were moved to tears!
Only now did they know that this little master, in order to prevent the people of Changyuan County from starving to death, would rather go bankrupt and sell the rice at a loss to get affordable rice.
After my mother found out about this, she also came out of the piano room. Now her piano room has finally returned to its original piano room, and the spinning wheel is placed in another room.
She plays the piano when she has time. This is the authentic mother in Zhao Ping's mind.
She looked at the many servants kneeling on the ground, nodded and said: "I support Ping'er, they are all our people in the Song Dynasty. As long as we have this ability, we cannot let them starve to death."
My mother is still the kind and beautiful mother she is!
Seeing that his mother also supported him, Zhao Ping's eyes became a little moist. He felt that his efforts were worth it. He supported him with both hands and said: "Everyone, please stand up. Many of you have teeth several times older than mine. In fact, although there is a bit of a deficit, but It has not reached the point of bankruptcy. Uncle Wengweng, your focus should not be on Changyuan County, but on places like Neijiang, Hezhou, Chongqing, or even Kuizhou, Wanzhou, and Ezhou. The food there is cheaper than in Changyuan County. , even if shipping costs are added, there is not such a big deficit.”
Zhao Jie thought for a while and said, "I have thought about this before, but I don't have a boat."
Zhao Ping thought for a while and said: "Now we don't have to worry about the lack of sales for our goods in Zhaojiazhuang, so sooner or later we will have to buy a boat. Now that we don't have a ship, we can rent it, and send the goods we produce to the merchants, and send the grain Ship it back. It would be better if there is a shipyard willing to exchange the ship for the Fairy Soap Series, which would be a good thing for both parties."
Zhao Jie thought for a while, nodded and said, "You can let Tian'er go out and give it a try."
A few days later, when the refugee house in Zhaojiazhuang was built, Zhao Tian brought good news from Chongqing. There was a shipyard willing to exchange the ship for Zhaojiazhuang's fairy soap, fairy medicine soap, and sulfur fairy soap. Zhao Ping gave away all the fairy soap series. After leaving, the shipyard finally allowed Zhaojiazhuang to have its first cargo ship.
But for this cargo ship, Zhao Ping suddenly ran out of funds to purchase raw materials!
At this time, some traveling merchants from Anyue, Changzhou, Neijiang, Luzhouzhu, Yongchuan and other places used baskets, chicken buses, and flatbed trucks to pick up goods.
They are all small businessmen with small capital and little use of the same tools as ordinary people.
Zhao Ping had an idea and asked them to use food to replace the fairy soap.
Although the venue is small, it can’t handle the large number of people!
Moreover, they all have good physical strength, so picking food is not a problem at all, and at least part of the food problem is solved.
For more food, Zhao Ping had no choice but to discount the entire series of fairy soaps to big merchants who came to pick up the goods. Finally, he had some funds to purchase raw materials, but it was still a drop in the bucket to lower the price of rice!
In desperation, Zhao Ping had no choice but to rent out the first cargo ship or transport goods to others.
Seeing that the funds were not withdrawn quickly, Zhao Ping simply returned to the original trading method and let Xianzao and grain barter.
After half a month of hard work, the price of rice in the county finally dropped from six to seven dollars per load to three to five dollars.
However, a few days later, Zhao Di passed a message to Zhao Ping through others, saying that many grain merchants and rice merchants came to him and asked him to gradually restore the price of rice to six or seven dollars, otherwise he would not regret coming to Changyuan County.
Zhao Ping couldn't help frowning when he heard this. He knew that he had violated the interests of some profiteers, but now they had begun to blatantly threaten him. What should he do?
Do you want the price to return to the previous price and become a profiteer like them?
Zhao Ping shook his head and wrote a message for someone to pass to Zhao Di: "There is no turning back when you shoot a bow!"
Today is the fifteenth day, and the full moon hangs slanting in the sky, constantly spraying clear light on the ground. Zhao Ping suddenly seemed to understand something, and an idea suddenly flashed in his brain.
At present, Zhao Ping has opened up the Ren and Du meridian, and has been operating his internal energy according to normal requirements, but he is only mobilizing his own weak internal energy. If the operation is reversed, what will be the result?
Thinking of this, his mind became clear, and he started practicing Pure Yang Internal Skills on his bed. Zhao Ping first exercised his internal energy in a forward direction and felt a burst of heat passing through the Ren and Du meridian, and then repeated the movement. For a total of 7749 days, he felt a mass of heat settling in the Dantian; then after resting for a stick of incense, Zhao Ping tried to reverse the direction. After running the internal energy, I suddenly felt a cold current swimming through the Ren and Du meridians, and then it circulated repeatedly for a total of seven, seven, forty-nine weeks. Finally, I felt that there was still a cold current settling in the Dantian.
What frightens Zhao Ping is that now there are two internal energy deposits suddenly appearing on the left and right of his Dantian. One is getting hotter and hotter, and the other is getting colder and colder.
These two groups of internal energy flow, one moment along the Ping Tiao 2 meridians, making him sweat profusely and he couldn't help but want to take off his clothes; the next moment, the cold current reversed the Ren Du 2 meridians, making his whole body tremble and he couldn't help but want to put on more clothes.
This makes it feel as if it's a swing.
Later, the two groups alternated between each other, refusing to give in to each other, and the speed became faster and faster, making Zhao Ping feel more and more uncomfortable.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhao Ping suddenly felt a "boom" in his brain. He felt peaceful and cool in his heart, as if a small space appeared around him, and this space seemed to be something from his previous life.
But his mouth was dry, and he couldn't help shouting: "Water, water...", and then he seemed to be in a lake, and he suddenly put his mouth into the water.
"Little Prince, Little Prince!" A voice echoed in his ears. Zhao Ping opened his eyes and saw that he was indeed drinking water, but he was drinking water from a bowl. Zhao Ping clearly felt someone holding his head with one hand and giving him a drink of water from a bowl with the other hand. After drinking enough water, Zhao Ping looked up and saw that it was Cuizhu helping him.
Two plastic bags appeared on the table next to him, one of which was obviously open.
"Don't, don't move..." Before he could finish his words, he heard a "bang" and something fell to the ground.
Lan'er, a curious baby, finally couldn't help but want to take it for a look. Unexpectedly, the object was too heavy and had a smooth surface. She was so young that she didn't have the strength to hold it. Zhao Ping only heard a "bang" sound and it fell down suddenly. on the ground.
