Leng Lanzhi opened the car curtain, looked at the long queue not far away, and ordered: "Go and ask, what is going on?"
Immediately a guard came over to inquire.
After a while, the guard came back: "Princess, this is the consort...oh no, it is the place rented by Shen Shizi of Pingnan Marquis Mansion. It is specially used to sell charcoal. It was only opened for sale this morning. The charcoal here is The price is three times the usual price of charcoal.”
Leng Lanzhi's eyes darkened: "This guy actually wants to make a fortune from disaster!"
It really sucks!
During this period, she and her imperial brother had spent so much energy to maintain the prices of various daily necessities in the capital, and finally achieved results. How could they be allowed to be ruined by this moth?
Want to make a fortune from natural disasters?
Go ahead and dream!
She said to the guard: "Go..."
The yard that Shen Yizhi rented was very large, and there was a pile of black charcoal as high as a hill in the backyard.
This charcoal has consumed most of Shen Yizhi's savings, making him very stretched now. When he goes out to socialize with others, he can only pretend to be fat.
In recent days, Yu Waner wanted money to buy new pearl flowers, and Shen Linan wanted new four treasures of the study, but he had to grit his teeth to get the money out.
However, these miserable days are coming to an end soon.
Shen Yizhi looked at the charcoal buyers lined up in several groups in the backyard, and once again silently applauded his wise decision.
Today it is only three times, and as the charcoal reserves in the city become less and less, the price of charcoal will become higher and higher.
Even if other charcoal sellers react and go outside to pull charcoal in the future, it will take at least three to five days from the time they set out to transport the charcoal into the city.
In these three to five days, he had sold out all the charcoal and got all the money.
And if he sells three times today, he will sell five times tomorrow...
After all the charcoal is sold, his profit will definitely be three times higher!
Maybe even five times!
He can use the extra profit to buy the latest beaded flowers from Zhenbao Pavilion for Yu Wan'er and the best four treasures of the study for Shen Lin'an.
You can also use the remaining money as principal to look for new ways to make money.
With such huge benefits rolling in, he believed that sooner or later he would be able to join the list of wealthy businessmen in Shengguo!
Even becoming the number one businessman is not a dream!
And with money, he can use money to support power, let An'er receive the best education, become the most outstanding young genius in the prosperous country, make a noble girl willingly marry, and make a wealthy family willing to support his An'er. Get on top!
When An'er reaches the pinnacle of power, their father and son will be able to stand above money and power and sneer at Leng Lanzhi - It's your loss to give up on us!
Just when Shen Yizhi was having a sweet dream, a roar suddenly came from outside the yard: "The imperial court has already prepared emergency charcoal fires, which are sold at the original price! It's over on Xilin Street! Don't buy from this shady businessman. !”
Shen Yizhi stood up angrily: "Catch that guy quickly!"
However, when the thugs in the courtyard chased him out, the figure of the man just now was nowhere to be seen?
Although the man is gone, the influence of his words has not dissipated.
After a while, the long queue disappeared. Apart from a big man who was just about to pay, were there any other buyers in the yard?
The big man also heard the shouting just now. Naturally, he didn't want to be taken advantage of, so he turned around and walked away immediately.
Shen Yizhi couldn't sit still: "Stop! You bought the charcoal and want to leave before paying for it?"
The big man would spend a high price to buy charcoal before, but he really had no choice. After all, the temperature dropped sharply and everyone in his family was about to die, so he would rather spend more money to save his life first.
Now that they know there are cheap charcoal fires, if they continue to pay high prices to buy expensive ones, would they be fools?
"I haven't paid for it yet, so why can't I leave?" The strong man was not afraid of the thugs in the yard because of his size.
He snorted and turned to leave.
One of the thugs shouted angrily: "Stop!"
Soon, a group of thugs surrounded the strong man and beat and kicked him.
***
There are many people like Shen Yizhi who plan to make a fortune from disaster. It did cause a lot of chaos at the beginning. Some people spread rumors that heavy snow will fall for several days in a row, causing road closures and that the city will soon run out of food. The people in the city gathered food as quickly as possible, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to drive up food prices.
Fortunately, the imperial court quickly sent people to calm down the chaos and control the price within a stable range.
Not long after Leng Lanzhi returned to the princess's house, Liusha walked in with a smile: "Princess, Prince Shen's batch of charcoal was not sold!"
After all, this was Shen Yizhi's first time doing business, and he was not specialized in selling charcoal. This time he just saw the signs of a natural disaster and hurriedly had a batch of charcoal transported from outside.
The quality of the charcoal is not good, and it smokes a lot when burning.
If the imperial court had not made active arrangements and he was the only one selling charcoal in the city, he would have been able to succeed. After all, when the charcoal was unavailable, it would no longer be that important whether the charcoal was smokey or not. Only by living can you be qualified to talk about other things.
However, the court has been fully prepared this time, and no one in the city who wants to take advantage of the disaster to make money can succeed.
Liusha smiled again and said: "Now no one buys Shen Shizi's batch of charcoal even at the original price, so he will probably die in his hands. He deserves it!"
Leng Lanzhi smiled and shook his head.
She also didn't expect that Shen Yizhi would become like this.
She can understand wanting to make money, but why make such bloody money?
"One more thing!" Liusha said: "In order to force people to buy his high-priced charcoal, Shen Shizi actually bought and sold it! There was a person who didn't want it after hearing that the court was selling it at a low price. Shen Shizi actually went so crazy that he let people buy it. Beat that man up!
The man was beaten for most of his life. His family wanted to seek justice, but they were warned that if they dared to cause trouble again, the family would not be able to survive in Shengjing. Smashed people's homes. "
Immediately he hummed and said: "But that family was also stubborn and went to Jingzhao Mansion to file a complaint. That's..."
She glanced at Leng Lan secretly.
Leng Lanzhi was helpless: "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you so roundabout?"
Liusha smiled, but soon turned into a frown: "The governor of Jingzhao Mansion is a conciliatory person, and although Pingnan Marquis Mansion has declined, he is still a marquis after all. I am worried that Jingzhao Mansion will not be well. Judgment." She said cautiously: "Princess, should we take care of it?"
Leng Lanzhi said lightly: "We really need to take care of it."
How much energy did she and the imperial brother spend to stabilize prices?
Shen Yizhi actually ignored the overall situation and the life and death of the people because of his own selfishness, and even used force to oppress the people...
The imperial rule of her Leng family is not fatuous and decadent enough to allow him to do whatever he wants!
