- (There was a power outage at noon, so it was a little late.) The engagement banquet lasted until noon and ended. Then everyone went about their own business, and Shen Yue took Xu Manhua back to Biyuxuan.
Wen Wan'er and others did not come. Someone brought a letter from Wei Siniang, which Shen Yue read and then burned. It tells the story of how they subdued Wen Wan'er and others in a sneak attack, and then took them away from Haizhou City. They were really embarrassed that they could no longer help Shen Yue.
Shen Yue was very happy. It was great that Wei Siniang could leave safely. Good intentions should be rewarded, right?
He declined the Dragon Girl Palace¡¯s request to stay here. Now that he has Yu Qiujia and Xie Xiaofu by his side, his own safety can be guaranteed. What's more, he is currently playing a role like a counselor. It is the Kong family and the Dragon Girl Palace who really decide how to act.
The Goddess of Pox has already said that this is just a game, and Mingxiang will not hurt him, so what he needs is to watch, find Mingxiang's flaw, and then take action.
"Staying in the city, the Dragon Girl Palace or the Kong Family may be the first targets of attacks. Is he seeking death by staying there?"
"The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."
Shen Yue finally understood this truth. With Xu Manhua by his side, the feeling of returning home in fine clothes was really good. The Xie family transferred Biyuxuan to Shen Yue as Xu Manhua's dowry.
When everyone came to the door of Biyuxuan, they found about ten people standing there.
"Before the head of the family left Haizhou City, he called us together and ordered that from now on, Mr. Shen will be our master, and Biyuxuan will also be transferred to Mr. Shen's name. The property, money and food have been counted. Mr. Shen, please feel free to Check it out.¡±
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man named Li Wangcai. He was the second housekeeper of Biyuxuanzhong, and he usually kept himself private.
"Mr. Shen?"
Shen Yue¡¯s riding crop tapped his shoulder lightly.
"Ah, wrong, it should be the master."
Shen Yue nodded and turned his attention to Xu Manhua. Xu Manhua nodded, expressing his approval of this person.
The reason why Xiaohuan's incident happened was not because Xu Manhua didn't know people well. It was just that she wanted to die at that time, so she was not in that mood at all. But in Biyuxuan, Xu Manhua knew very well who could be used and who could be kept. .
Picking up the account book of money and food, Shen Yue said to Wangcai Li, "Wait a minute, you and I will go to the city to buy some things."
============
Knowing that a catastrophe is coming, what will the people on earth do?
¡°At least for Shen Yue, the most common reaction is to be a squirrel.
??????? Store food, store goods, store fuel, and also, store some spiritual food.
The battle with Mingxiang is about to begin. Shen Yue can't guess what she wants to do, but Shen Yue will prepare according to his own ideas.
Some people say that as long as money can solve any problem, it is not a problem. But for Shen Yue, now he lacks everything except money.
??Second Master Xie and Elder Xie left Haizhou City, and all their elite men also retreated. However, he was so sophisticated that he left Shen Yue a large sum of money.
These 30,000 taels of silver have helped Shen Yue a lot. He is currently in Haizhou City, doing a big buying business.
In the grain store, rice store, coal store, lumber store, and iron shop, Wangcai waved his banknotes and bought everything he could see.
There are no other requirements. Even if the store owner sees that Shen Yue is eager to buy, it doesn't matter. The price is easy to negotiate, but it must be delivered to Biyuxuan outside the city within two days. The shipping fee is high and it is difficult to find someone. It can be negotiated, but the time must be tight.
At first, Wang Li felt that it was a bit childish. What was Shen Yue doing?
This is not how money is spent. In this round of panic buying, you will spend at least double the price.
But he didn¡¯t say much and just followed Shen Yue¡¯s actions.
After finalizing the purchase quantity of grain, Shen Yue's purchase scope expanded. Various containers, clothes, cotton, and even hay and other feed were all purchased by Shen Yue.
"Butler, are you trying to persuade Mr. Shen that if he continues like this, he will spend too much money?"
The person who spoke was one of Li Wangcai¡¯s nephews, but Li Wangcai shook his head.
???????????????????????? If at the beginning, Wang Li was still in the mood to watch a joke or let Shen Yue fool around, but now, he has no other ideas at all.
============
"Mr. Shen, the price of your box of jewelry is estimated at 4,500 taels by our store. Is it okay?"
Li Wangcai, who was listening on the side, wanted to slap the pawnshop owner. This box of beadsIf the treasure is put on the market, it can be sold for at least 7,000 taels, and the pawnshop owner can actually tell the price of 4,500 taels?
"How much does it cost to die?"
"Five thousand two hundred taels, Mr. Shen, it cannot be higher."
Wang Li coughed softly. At this price, he might as well take Shen Yue to his cousin's shop, where he could sell it for at least six thousand taels.
"Okay, deal."
Shen Yue seemed not to have heard Li Wangcai's hint. He clapped his hands and took the banknote directly.
"Mr. Shen, I have a good idea, I have a relative"
King Li wanted to speak several times, but Shen Yue stopped him. He didn't get a chance until he left the door.
"No need, Butler Li. Maybe, in a few days, those things won't even be worth four thousand taels."
Shen Yue smiled and waved the banknote in his hand.
Speaking of which, I¡¯m really sorry. This box of jewelry belongs to Xu Manhua.
After he told Xu Manhua that the Pox Goddess was about to perform a blood sacrifice, Xu Manhua asked him how to deal with it.
Shen Yue¡¯s answer is simple: just wait and see.
Unlike the Confucius family who were worried, and the common people who were kept in the dark, there was nothing he could do about Governor Zhong Wendong's worries. What he needs to do is to enrich himself first.
Although it is said that the imperial army and reinforcements from all walks of life can gather in Haizhou City in about ten days, Shen Yue feels that since everyone knows, what reason does Mingxiang have for not considering this matter?
Ten days, maybe it is a long ten days, or in other words, what if the reinforcements cannot break the barrier of Haizhou City and everyone is trapped in it?
He has a girl, so he doesn¡¯t have to worry about spiritual food. All he can do now is to be a squirrel, build walls high, accumulate food widely, and don¡¯t stand out.
Mingxiang should not take the initiative to find trouble for him, so the people who are worried about him now should be the Kong family.
============
"Is Shen Yue buying food?"
??Frowning his brows, Kong Guozhang felt that he couldn't understand Shen Yue.
Haizhou City is a famous big city in the north, with constant business travel from the north to the south. There are dozens of large and small granaries in the city. Even if there is a famine year, the food will be enough for the people of Haizhou City for half a year.
"Dad, do you want to stop him? If he does this, what if rumors spread and he goes shopping in the market?"
"No, let's not get into trouble now. No matter how much he buys, he can get it back when the time comes."
Kong Guozhang frowned and said this.
"Dad, what do you mean?"
"When I was on the battlefield, all parties used their own strategies before the war started, but after the battle started, it was often a chaotic battle. What we have to do now is to stabilize, go ahead, it's time to act."
Waving to Kong Qingfeng, there are many gangs, large and small, in Haizhou City. Now it¡¯s time to close the net.
============
"Shen Yue, did you buy too much?"
Frowning, Xie Xiaofu came to Shen Yue.
Since noon, Shen Yue began to buy grains on a large scale. He even used all the 30,000 taels of silver notes given to him by Shen Shentong, causing rumors to spread in the market.
Looking at the cartloads of grain gathering towards Biyuxuan, Xie Xiaofu could no longer hold back her questions.
Three taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend for a year. So Shen Yue spent a total of more than 60,000 taels of silver. What is the concept of the accumulated food?
"Sister Xiaofu, you don't understand."
Shen Yue's words made Xie Xiaofu furious.
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't be like this."
"If these 60,000 taels of silver are spent, in the past three days, the price of food on the market will rise by at least 30%. If I release news that there is a severe drought in the north and the price of food will continue to rise, what do you think it will be like?"
"Many people will buy some food to go home first, and the government will also come forward and say that there is no shortage of food, and even open warehouses to stabilize food prices."
"Yes, that's what I want. Everyone in the world has the habit of chasing high prices. Once a trend develops, it will probably take at least half a month to subside."
"But after many people bought food at a high price, they found that the price was too high. Shen Yue, what on earth do you want to do?"
"But at least they bought the food home, right?"
Although the blood sacrifice was still a few days away, Shen Yue knew very well that the war had already begun.
Mingxiang, the girl who has experienced wandering, hunger and hardship, her intelligenceThe height is even far beyond that of ordinary people.
"You're saying that there is a high possibility of large-scale food shortages? Then why don't you remind Kong Guozhang and the others to pay attention to food safety?"
"Sister Xiaofu, do you think I'm still like the hot cakes I was a few days ago?"
Shen Yue smiled bitterly and clapped his hands, "My action has actually reminded them that the Kong family is not pigs, and unless I am willing to become the son-in-law of the Kong family, they will not believe me. Between us The misunderstanding will become bigger and bigger.
¡°Now, it¡¯s not me, nor the government, who¡¯s short of food, but the people of Haizhou City. " - Didn't finish reading?
