The man who was beaten out by Xie Xun got up from the ground, his face red with anger, "You actually beat me up! I'm going to report you to the police and have you all arrested!"

Xie Xun still stood there with his hands on his hips, speaking in a sarcastic voice, "Hey, then you have to go quickly. The yamen runner leading the yamen is my second uncle. Remember to avoid him when you go, or my second uncle will kick you out!"

Su Juan said that someone would cause trouble, and he didn't believe it at first, but he didn't expect that it would really happen.

Liu Miaoqing looked at Xie Xun and almost laughed out loud. He whispered to Su Juan, "I didn't expect that Master Xie would be quite suitable to be a guard thug."

This look of bullying by taking advantage of one's power is so superb.

The man was so angry that his teeth itched, "Tell me your name!"

Xie Xun sneered, "Listen carefully, I will never change my name, my full name is Song Qianfan!"

Liu Miaoqing: “.”

Su Juan almost burst out laughing. I thought he really wanted to tell me his name.

If Song Qianfan knew this, he would probably be so angry that he would die.

Xie Xun raised his eyebrows. When you go out, don’t you give yourself your name and identity?

Just then, Yu Zhong passed by with a team of soldiers. Seeing the commotion here, they came over to inquire.

Su Juan was seen pulling Yu Zhong's official robe sleeve to wipe her tears, "His second uncle, you are finally here. We are kind enough to sell rice here at a low price, but this man wants to cause trouble and beat people. You should arrest him quickly!"

Yu Zhong was confused by her calling him his second uncle: "?"

Xie Xun also shouted, "Second Uncle! This guy is causing trouble and wants to destroy our stall. Hurry up and arrest him!"

Everyone looked over. The man in the official robes was obviously an important official. With so many soldiers following him, he was definitely not just a leading yamen runner.

Yu Zhong was almost distracted by their repeated calls of "Second Uncle". When he saw Su Juan's tears and snot were about to get on his official robe, he immediately nervously pulled his sleeve to get it out.

Just shout and cry, why are you having a runny nose?

I almost rubbed my hands on his official robe. It was a close call.

Su Juan almost couldn't continue this play. She was so stingy that she didn't let anyone see her butt and wouldn't even let anyone touch her sleeves.

Yu Zhong's stern face almost broke, "Someone! Take this troublemaker back!"

"yes!"

Two or three people were arrested, the troublemaker was still cursing.

Who would have thought that the owner of this rice shop actually had a relative who was an official? For a while, no one dared to make trouble and everyone bought a bushel of rice in an orderly manner.

Su Juan watched Yu Zhong leave with a smile, waving her handkerchief to see him off, "Thank you, second uncle."

"." Yu Zhong's forehead twitched, and the feeling of being teased in the court came back again.

I thought Su Juan had turned over a new leaf recently, but it turns out that it's hard to change one's nature.

For half a month in a row, there was a constant queue at the nameless rice shop, and no one patronized other rice shops. During this period, the owners of these rice shops brought in many people to cause trouble and wanted to smash their shops, hoping to teach this newly opened shop, which had no idea of ​​the rules of the industry, a lesson.

But the people they brought didn't even get a chance to eat before they were beaten away by the ten thugs, each of whom hit them quite hard.

&t;div tentadv>Even after reporting the matter to the government, no one cared. After some investigation, I found out that there was someone behind this rice shop.

The rice merchants still had a lot of rice in their granaries. The situation in Xuzhou had stabilized, and the fields and houses were being repaired. The temporary workers they hired were the disaster victims and ordinary people. This nameless rice shop only sold one bushel of rice a day at a low price. Although it was a small amount, it was enough for a day's food. If this continued, no one would come to their rice shop to buy rice!

What's more, many foreign merchants have learned about the price of rice in Xuzhou and have transported grain to Xuzhou to sell.

I heard that at the end of the year the government will invite many wealthy businessmen to visit Xuzhou. By then, there will certainly be more wealthy businessmen from other places coming to Xuzhou to do business. The rice shops will be full, and by then, they really won’t be able to sell a single grain of rice!

They immediately formed a group and went to visit Magistrate Zeng, but Magistrate Zeng closed the door and refused to see anyone. He was immediately as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Boss Huang, what do you think we should do?"

"We spent a lot of money to stock up on these. If we can't sell them, we'll just lose everything!"

"Boss Huang, please say something. In the past, when we raised the price of rice, everyone listened to you."

"Yes, it was you who brought us together in the first place, and we followed you in raising the price of rice, thus offending the government and the people of Xuzhou."

"You have to give an explanation for this!"

The leading boss, Mr. Huang, had a solemn expression on his face, pursed his lips and said nothing. If there was any loss, he was the one who suffered the most.

After learning that the government would no longer open its granaries to release grain or provide porridge, he spent all his fortune on a trip to Jiangzhou and Huaizhou, where he stockpiled a full 100,000 shi of grain at five times the usual price. He also sent them to Xuzhou and other places to sell, hoping to make a fortune and go to Beijing to do bigger business. But if he continued like this, not only would he have to wait until the end of time to sell all the grain, he was also afraid that something might happen next year and he would lose everything.

He slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "What's the hurry? With the situation in Xuzhou, how long can they last with their little rice?"

"As long as we can make it through the end of the year and it snows, won't we be able to sell our rice?"

Boss Huang waved his sleeves and left, leaving the crowd of fence-sitters looking at each other in bewilderment, "Are you really not going to lower the price?"

"Let's lower it a bit"

In the next few days, these rice shops lowered the price of rice one after another, but they were reluctant to lower it too much. After all, the rice was brought in at high prices. The price was reduced from more than ten taels per dou to one tael per dou. However, few people were willing to buy it. After all, the nameless rice shop still sold rice at thirty cents per dou, and one dou was enough for a family to eat for a day.

At this time, the merchants who came from other places to transport grain had already spent a lot of manpower and resources to transport the grain to Xuzhou. If they could not sell it, they would lose money, so they also began to lower the price of rice.

The local rice merchants suddenly became anxious.

That day, Prefect Zeng walked into the hall with a big laugh, "It's down, it's down! The price of rice has dropped! Boss Huang, who was the first to be reluctant to lower the price of rice, has lowered it the most. It's only 40 cents more expensive than ours!"

"Miss Su, this trick of yours is truly amazing!"

No matter how much he persuaded or threatened them, those people refused to surrender, especially Boss Huang, who refused to listen.

Su Juan smiled and drank the tea in her hand.

"Boss Huang was the one who took the lead in stirring up the crowds at the beginning. Naturally, he wanted to make more money, so I think he stockpiled the most rice. I heard that he spent his entire fortune hoping to make a fortune this time."

"If the rice can't be sold, he is the one who should start to worry the most. Naturally, he knows that he should be the first to lower the price so that he can sell it before winter when the nameless rice shop sells only one bushel a day and store up the grain, so as to stop the loss in time and avoid losing more."

Xie Xun's eyes widened. Su Juan had taken into account the intentions of those rice merchants from the very beginning!

The dark room is so scary. I just came out. It’s so scary. I haven’t driven a car for two years. I’m trembling. My dears, please vote for me and comfort me. Woo woo woo woo
