Chen Wuyuan pondered. Generally, he would not approve of his father-in-law and mother-in-law going into business.
But he won't care too much, just keep clean.
But this year, there were heavy rains in the surrounding cities of Bishui City, which caused flooding here. It is true that many people suffered from crop failure because of this.
There may even be a shortage of food for the winter.
In this case, if the people in the father-in-law's family are willing to sell a certain amount of grain.
This helps alleviate the food shortage.
In addition, we can also crack down on some illegal grain dealers.
Now, grain merchants around Bishui City have begun to hoard.
This is a plan to make a fortune from disaster, and prepare to wait until everyone is short of food, and then sell it at a high price in exchange for a large profit.
Throughout the ages, there has been no shortage of such businessmen.
Such things happen in endlessly and are not easy to manage.
But what kind of society is today?
Chen Wuyuan knew if these people really did this.
Well, there's really no good way.
It is possible to crack down, but it is also easy to be led by others, saying that the Rabbit Kingdom is cracking down on free trade.
This will cause some bad news in China, which has just reformed.
I am afraid that someone will misunderstand, which will slow down the pace of reform.
The country has been weak and impoverished for a long time, and now it seems that it is shackled when it comes to development.
If such a fluctuation occurs again, it is difficult to say whether it will have the opposite effect.
In addition, Bishui City does not have any special products, and the traffic is not good due to the hilly area.
Bishui City does not have a good development prospect.
A report for applying for the railway has been submitted before, if something like this happens.
It's hard to say, it won't have any impact.
Chen Wuyuan considered his words and said, "You can sell it."
As soon as he said these words, joy filled the eyes of his father-in-law and brother-in-law.
Although Su He was in Yixian, at his father-in-law's house, he contracted the forest and planted mulberry trees.
This year we also started breeding silkworms to stock up on materials for future textile factories.
People say that before the soldiers and horses come out, food and grass go first.
Silk is the food for textile mills.
My father-in-law’s family all have a salary.
But everyone may be afraid of poverty, so when they encounter opportunities to make money, they all have ideas.
Chen Wuyuan shook his head slightly and said: "However, I still ask my father-in-law to restrain everyone. Although hoarding can make a lot of money, the price of food is too high, which can easily affect your reputation.
We here in Yangqiao Town, Yixian County, have already established a sericulture base, and there will be no shortage of opportunities for everyone to make money. If it creates a bad reputation, the subsequent development will not be good either. He Yazi himself is also a Confucian businessman, not the kind who likes to make such dirty money. Do you think so? "
Although he said these words to his father-in-law, Chen Wuyuan was looking at his elder brother-in-law.
The eldest uncle was stunned for a moment, then his mind changed, and he knew what Chen Wuyuan was worried about.
He smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry. We just sell it at a slightly higher price than before, not much higher. It's just more than five cents per pound. Isn't it a market economy now? There is a shortage of food. Under the circumstances, I think this shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Although Chen Wuyuan still felt that it was a bit too high, compared to those in grain stores, the price was indeed not high.
Just when he was about to say something, his son Chen Xiange walked in from outside.
While changing his shoes, he said, "Uncle, are you planning to sell grain?"
Chen Wuyuan frowned. He didn't want his son to be involved in this kind of thing.
But I also thought about whether my son is in politics or something else.
It wouldn’t be wrong to know something about this.
As the children get older, it’s time to understand this.
Chen Xiange hadn't seen Chen Wuyuan's eyes yet. His uncle did and didn't say much.
When a brother-in-law teaches a child, they are generally not allowed to interfere.
"Yes, this is not a flood before. Although we have a few rivers in Yangqiao Town, the surrounding area is relatively wide, and the flood is not very big. Although it is not without disaster, the damage is not serious. Plus last year There have been two good harvests this summer, and I have a lot of food stored at home, so I want to sell some food and make some money."
Chen Wuyuan frowned: "It's not impossible to sell grain, but we have to keep enough grain to last until next summer and wait for the summer grain harvest. In this case, I don't know if I can get grain from elsewhere."
For such a big city, the surrounding areas have also been affected by disasters.
There is definitely not enough food to eat.
Chen Xiange interrupted and said, "Uncle, you have to sell it quickly. After tomorrow, the price of food should come down."
Chen Wuyuan was still wondering, where did the news about his son come from?
Uncle Chen was the same: "How do you say that?"
Because they are relatives of Chen Wuyuan, they came here specifically to ask questions.
It is not that easy to sell food.
One or two hundred catties will naturally sell quickly.
But there are so many people in the village, and a family with two to three hundred pounds is a lot.
What's more, there are several other villages in Yangqiao Town.
"What news do you have?" Uncle Chen asked.
Chen Wuyuan shook his head: "What news can he have?"
Chen Xiange said: "Don't look down on me yet. I really have inside information."
"Um?"
"Is such that."
Seeing his father's eyes looking over, Chen Xiange quickly told the news he heard: "Actually, it's not an inside story anymore, it's spread on the street now.
Jiuding Group transported hundreds of tons of grain from Pengcheng and other places. The merchants at the Chamber of Commerce have subscribed, and starting from tomorrow, people will start shipping food back, including in surrounding areas.
When the time comes, sell at a fair price. When I first came back, I passed by a grain store. The owner of the grain store was a little panicked and cursed, saying that he had finally encountered an opportunity to make money, and it was just gone. "
Chen Wuyuan shook his head secretly, these grain store owners were really disgusting.
But after hearing the news from the Chamber of Commerce, he remembered it.
It was he who helped release the news about the Chamber of Commerce.
He thought for a while, got up and prepared to go out.
Chen Xiange also asked: "Dad, where are you going?"
Chen Wuyuan said: "I'll go to Jiuding Restaurant and ask He Yazi how much food he can transport when he comes back."
One hundred tons or hundreds of tons of grain are actually of little use.
Not to mention Bishui City, there are so many people in surrounding cities.
One hundred tons can't last even a day.
If the amount of food cannot increase, then the news released by Su He will actually be useless.
Tens of thousands of people in a city consume a huge amount of food every day.
Chen Wuyuan got up and left the house.
In the Imperial Capital, Su Rong left the bar.
Her body was not very comfortable. After struggling all night, Su Rong didn't expect that Hong Xia, who had taken medicine, could struggle like this.
However, this is what she originally wanted.
Just toss, as long as...
Su Rong touched the stack of banknotes in her pocket and Hong Xia's promise.
One, it was Hong Xia who said that her life would be left to Hong Xia to handle from now on.
Food, clothing and housing are all provided by Hongxia.
She finally found her meal ticket, and she didn't have to worry too much in the future.
I thought about how I had worked so hard all the way to the Imperial Capital, only to be caught by traffickers on the way.
Later, it was a lot of hard work to escape from there.
Coming to the imperial capital, there were no good days.
First, I worked in that noodle shop, and the proprietress kept making things difficult for me.
Su Rong won't think about it, she works there,
He can't do anything well without saying anything, and he often breaks the bowls in the store.
She is just responsible for collecting the bowls quickly.
Later, he was kicked out of there.
She won't remember that the boss's wife gave her that month's salary because she didn't do anything well.
Later, she stayed here in this bar. If it weren't for Ji Yingxiu, she wouldn't be alive today.
Of course, during this period, she also followed Ji Yingxiu and did a lot of things.
"However, after today, Ji Yingxiu may have a falling out with me."
Su Rong knew that Ji Yingxiu had been with Hong Xia for a while.
Hong Xia and Cao Cao have similar hobbies, and Ji Yingxiu also has a child, which suits Hong Xia's wishes.
It's just that Ji Yingxiu's skin has become a little saggy as he gets older.
These days, Hong Xia is a little tired of Ji Yingxiu.
So when Su Rong took the initiative to throw herself into her arms, Hong Xia quickly took Su Rong under her wing.
Secondly, Hongxia also agreed to Su Rong and help her find her father.
At this moment, a man came out of the next room with a woman in his arms, and happened to bump into Su Rong.
Su Rong frowned and just when she was about to curse, the woman cursed her first.
"What, don't you have eyes? Didn't you see us coming downstairs? Looking at you like this and dressed in such a dirty way, you must be from a special profession, right?"
Su Rong was almost going crazy.
She is pursuing true love, how can she be a prostitute?
She got up and wanted to hit someone.
As a result, one hand was grabbed by the man.
She also felt the surprise in the man's eyes when he saw her.
Then, the man scratched her palm.
Su Rong felt itchy on her palms and felt a little disgusted.
She had just been taken in by Hong Xia, and she was still in the "passionate love" stage.
If Hong Xia finds out about this, her good life will be over.
But this man is good-looking. Although he is not young, about forty years old, he is indeed handsome.
Moreover, he has the charm of a mature man.
Su Rong felt that this man was pretty good.
At least, it can give her a great sense of security.
The interaction between these two people was watched by women.
He immediately came up and slapped Su Rong: "Look, I can smell the smell of dust on this dusty girl from a few streets away. What's wrong? Are you attracted to my man?"
The woman turned around and whispered to the man: "Brother Jun, you wouldn't fall in love with such a prostitute, would you? Look at what she's wearing and how she smells."
The woman's nose moved, and she said with a sudden look on her face: "Smell this smell. It must have come from somewhere just now."
She looked around and suddenly realized: "It turns out that he came from the flavor house over there. Sure enough..."
The man looked over there, and he naturally knew the flavor.
But men don’t dare to go because there is a Hedong lion at home.
The woman pulled the man away, but when the man left, he looked back at Su Rong.
Su Rong felt something familiar.
However, before she could think of anything, she felt that the person opposite was a little weird.
"What are you looking at?"
Su Rong lost her temper for a while. She wanted to hit someone just now, but was caught by the man.
My palms are still itchy.
"Hmph, man."
Su Rong is very confident in her fluff.
Starting from Jiang Xingzhou, there is the human trafficker, Hong Xia, and a few men met in the middle.
And the handsome middle-aged man just now.
Everyone will fall under her pomegranate skirt.
The man across from me just now was still staring at me.
As if she didn't see it?
Su Rong is anxious
Leave in a hurry.
Even though she wanted to curse.
But there is something going on at school today. If she gets there late, something will happen.
It's been so long since school started, and her attendance rate is extremely low, or in other words, she doesn't go to school at all.
Why go to school when there is a shortcut anyway?
Anyway, with Hong Xia's power, she can still get her diploma without going to school.
Chen Wuyuan rushed out and soon arrived at Jiuding Restaurant.
Ye Chengbo was a little surprised but also a little aware of Chen Wuyuan's arrival.
"Mr. Chen, are you here to inquire about food?"
Chen Wuyuan nodded, and Ye Chengbo also knew.
"He Yazi asked me to do this. Our family was hit by the disaster and there was little food. Recently, many grain stores have raised the price of food. The grain we originally bought was for Jiuding Restaurant. In our store , using only the best rice and whole grains. However, He Yazi said that the grain can be taken out and sold at a fair price, which can suppress the price of grain. "
This matter was originally not something Su He should do.
The matter of grain prices is a matter for the local compound.
However, Su He felt that he had the means and it was not impossible to do something if conditions allowed.
Ye Chengbo expressed Su He's thoughts: "There's only so much we can do. But to what extent we can do it, we need the help of the compound. We can't finish this thing by ourselves, and we can't do it." .”
No matter how much money Su He has, he can't bring down the food prices in Bishui City and surrounding areas.
Chen Wuyuan asked: "How much food can you provide?"
Ye Chengbo knew a lot about this matter. He was also very concerned about Jiuding Group's affairs. He kept the data and everything in mind.
"This time, it's probably more than a hundred tons.
But it was scattered in several places, so the food was actually not much.
Next, every week, a ship would come back, each time probably weighing more than a hundred tons.
Next, our Jiuding Restaurant will also purchase grain from the Pearl River and Southeast Asia. The food in Siam is better and cheaper.
We plan to buy some more. However, this takes time and opportunity. After all, if you want to transport things back from outside, you need a approval slip. "
The matter of import is not something that comes just by opening your mouth.
They can use the Pearl River as a springboard, but when things are shipped from the Pearl River, they also need to be approved.
This is an import.
At this time, it is very difficult for individuals to import.
Chen Wuyuan also knew this very well.
This thing is not that easy to do.
But this is also an opportunity and a way.
"Okay, let me think of a solution. I'll communicate with Pengcheng."
It would be much better if Chen Wuyuan could help with official matters.
Rabbit Country itself is also a big food country, but it still imports a lot of food every year.
Food is the most important thing for the people. As long as they are not hungry, many troubles can be eliminated.
Just like this time when food prices soared, Jiuding Restaurant helped spread the news.
The grain stores in Bishui City are so worried that they don't even dare to raise prices.
This is evident.
Although this is a crisis, it can also be turned into an opportunity for Su He.
Chen Wuyuan didn't think about it for the time being, but if he did, he wouldn't care.
Provide opportunities to such businessmen, and he is willing.
