Chapter 414 I Don’t Believe It
The tenth day.
The number of people coming to Changshan County has exploded.
Within one day, more than 30,000 grain merchants flocked to Changshan County.
This large group of people has greatly boosted the prosperity of all walks of life in Huai Town. The owners of major shops have been doing great business, their income has increased exponentially, and they are grinning from ear to ear.
A large number of unemployed people in Huaizhen have found jobs, have income, and have consumption power, which in turn has further stimulated the prosperity of Huaizhen's business.
This is a typical head effect. A grain exchange has revitalized an entire economy.
The most important thing is that it dispelled the long-standing misunderstanding of Changshan County by the outside world, cleared away the distortion and slander of Changshan County by hostile forces, and made a large number of businessmen dare to come to Changshan County and be willing to come to Changshan County.
The Planning Bureau finally welcomed busy work again.
It strives to maintain market order and crack down on all illegal businessmen who undermine the atmosphere, disrupt order, and damage the image of Changshan County.
In response to the overcrowded situation at the grain exchange, Xiao Xiao used greenhouses and simple assembled prefabricated houses to significantly expand the hall of the grain exchange to accommodate more and more people.
Li Zairong looked at the busy scene in the exchange and felt very uncomfortable when he recalled how deserted it was a few days ago.
What was even worse was that his guards were detained for assaulting someone by the joint law enforcement of the Changshan County Security Guards and the Supervisory Guards on charges of disturbing public order and provoking trouble.
Li Zairong was extremely angry.
Wasn't it just beating up a few untouchables who were crowding around?
Changshan County actually took advantage of every opportunity to target him.
Little bastard, I'll remember this grudge.
When you collapse, I will get it back with interest.
On this day, institutions intervened and the price of grain in the empire rose back to the 6,000 mark.
But it has no impact on Changshan County.
What is sold by the Nadao Exchange is actually a primitive futures, which is different from modern financial futures.
When futures first appeared, they were contracts like this.
People agreed that they could deliver the goods after a specified date with just the deed.
The deed is equivalent to future goods.
Merchants pursue profits. Some merchants believe that the price of goods will drop soon, so they sell the contracts in advance to avoid losses.
The delivery of goods is based on the deed, not the person, so this is feasible.
Some merchants, however, buy the goods thinking that the price will go up soon.
This is risk hedging.
Therefore, the deeds were resold repeatedly according to market fluctuations.
This was the initial speculation in futures.
In modern times, financial futures no longer have any entity, they are just financial numbers, which make them easier to speculate.
Changshan County uses an ancient method, but it is effective.
With the delivery of grain, the credibility of the Nadao Grain Exchange has been initially established.
The number of people opening accounts here soon exceeded 100,000 and is still growing rapidly.
On this day, grain delivery remained normal.
But soon, Changshan County’s three-day futures will expire.
Tomorrow is the day you die.
Li Zairong watched the exchange close with a sneer, closed the door, and turned to leave.
Countless people scattered out, preparing to visit various places in Changshan County. They heard that there was a good attraction called the Phantom Riding Demon Pit.
Day 11.
Li Zairong led a large number of reporters to block the Changshan County grain depot, ready to expose their hypocritical masks.
After 3:00 p.m., the transaction ends and the delivery begins.
What shocked and puzzled him was that there was still grain in Changshan County. The staff of the granary were going back and forth, and countless forklifts were transporting bags of grain out of the granary.
He looked at the joyful faces of countless retail traders who had received food, and felt a huge chill rising from his heart.
Reporters jumped around excitedly, taking pictures of this lively scene.
They were just invited to make a big news, and they didn't care what the big news was.
"No, it's impossible."
Li Zairong suddenly realized a possibility and immediately called Elder Luo.
"I believe Changshan County has blatantly violated the Supreme Council's orders and is plundering grain from Seokju."
Luo Nuo realized in an instant that this was a great opportunity to defeat Changshan County. He immediately contacted the top leaders of all grain groups and asked everyone to report Changshan County to the Supreme Council.
Except for the Qin Group, which did not respond, everyone submitted a letter of complaint to the Supreme Council.
In the elders' compound.
The imperial garrison commander read out more than a dozen letters in succession, all of which attacked Changshan County for openly disobeying orders and intending to rebel against the empire.
"alright."
The Great Elder Ping Yuan stopped the Imperial Guardian and said, "Summarize all the letters reporting the Changshan County rebellion and disobedience and report them to me in one sentence."
The Imperial Guardian replied, "Twenty-seven in total, four from elders, six from governors, and eleven from Imperial officials of the second rank and above."
The Great Elder Xing Ling asked, "What about the Qin Group?"
The Imperial Garrison Commander shook his head: "There are no letters or telegrams from them."
The elder was silent for a while, then said, "Qin Gang hasn't changed. This is really tricky."
They did not bring up the subject again.
Changshan Commandery disobeyed orders, and the Great Elder found out the next day.
At that time, the special envoy reported the situation in detail upon his return and presented a full video recording of the entire process.
The Great Elder looked at her for a while, then suddenly asked, "Who is this woman? What's her name?"
"Qin Luoshuang is the second or third most important person in Changshan County. Officially, she holds the positions of Deputy County Magistrate, Head of the County Government Security Department, Director of the External Affairs Bureau, and Chief of Staff of the Changshan County Headquarters. She may actually be in charge of all spy organizations in Changshan County, but I believe she is just a puppet. The real control is still held by Lin Wen himself."
"That's not right." Great Elder Ping Yuan stared at the woman's face, recalling something carefully. "Get Qin Gang's detailed file."
The Imperial Garrison Commander quickly moved out all the files.
The Great Elder dug out the photos of all Qin Gang's immediate family members, picked up a picture of a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old who looked arrogant and cocky, and placed it under the picture of Qin Luoshuang.
The Great Elder Xing Ling was silent for a moment: "It must be one person."
The Great Elder Ping Yuan pointed at the girl's name and said, "You mean, she is Qin Xiao, the eldest daughter of the Qin family?"
"right."
"The eldest daughter of the Qin family entered Changshan County under an assumed name, became a high-ranking official, and then attacked her father's family. What does this mean?"
"A self-torture trick? No, that's impossible."
"Is it possible that the Qin Group will join forces with Li Longxing?"
"It's even more impossible. The conflict of interest between the two is fundamental. Moreover, Li Longxing has already agreed to marry the First Princess to this Lin Wen. Even if Qin Gang wanted to arrange a marriage, he wouldn't be able to snatch Li Linyue away."
"What about the two of them getting married together?" The imperial garrison commander rarely interjected.
The Great Elder glanced at him and said, "Is this the way young people think? In our opinion, it's impossible. Who is Li Linyue? She won't share her things with anyone."
The discussion reached a deadlock.
The Great Elder reviewed Changshan County's actions again and discovered a characteristic:
Since Lin Wen took office in Changshan County, Changshan County has either been offending people or on the way to offending people.
The Council of Advocates is a mortal enemy, the Qin Group is also a mortal enemy, and half of the eight elders have grudges against Changshan County.
The Great Elder said: "Changshan Commandery is determined to remain a lone minister."
"What's going on with Qin Xiao?"
"The family is in turmoil and has turned into enemies."
The Great Elder was silent for a while and agreed with this statement.
"It seems that County Chief Lin has great ambitions."
"And he hid it very deeply. Maybe he thought Elder Lin should be replaced by someone else."
"Impossible, unless Changshan County's economy surpasses Longjing's."
The Great Elder Xing Ling asked, "What should we do now?"
"Press it for a while."
"Shizhou cannot be destroyed anymore."
"Changshan County is suppressing grain prices."
"I don't think it's a good idea. I think he's trying to profit from it."
"Give him some time."
"Ten days."
Day 11.
"Food prices have only fallen by less than 2%. He completely ignored our ban in Seokju. I think this pawn should be destroyed."
"Then destroy it."
The Great Elder Pingyuan took the Changshan County chess piece off the chessboard and threw it into the trash can.
At this time, twenty-seven impeachment letters from the Grain Group arrived at the Supreme Council.
After listening to it, they didn't talk about it anymore.
The Great Elder Pingyuan silently picked up the Changshan County chess piece from the trash can and placed it on the chessboard.
Day 12.
The Changshan County naval joint fleet arrived at the newly built dock and transported back 18 million tons of grain.
And there are still 6 million tons in Shizhou.
Changshan County had a rich harvest this time. Lin Wen was too impatient to look through them one by one, so he directly used [Asking the Heaven] to find the largest grain storage points.
They are located in the southern plains of Shizhou, close to the Qin Group's territory, with convenient transportation.
The army marched directly into the southern plains, ignoring the sharp howls of demons and monsters, ignoring the warnings that flew like pieces of paper, and ignoring the warnings from the Qin Group that were almost like a declaration of war. It drove away the few remaining local troops on the southern plains and occupied the most abundant granary in this area.
Looking at the countless granaries, Lin Wen laughed so hard that his bones almost broke.
In the past twelve days, he had earned more than 60,000 good karmas from Shizhou.
He gained huge benefits by distributing land and property to civilians, rebuilding fair production relations, killing bullies with bloody hands, and establishing a peaceful social environment.
During this period, Changshan County's weekly good fortune has grown rapidly, with significant improvements in all aspects.
Only democracy remains zero, which makes Lin Wen very unhappy.
During this period, whenever he encountered any problem, he would hold a meeting to vote.
He also specially asked Zhao Minggong, Yang Shaohu and others to create a theme spirit for Changshan County.
He also asked Xia Xiaoxiang to promote the majority principle more often within the Ministry of Personnel.
I originally thought that I could break the curse of democracy and break the negative bonus of military power.
The result is still zero.
Lin Wen found it difficult to understand.
He made up his mind that once this matter was over, he would definitely establish the People's King of Changshan County. He didn't believe that he couldn't do it.
If anyone dares to say that Emperor Lin Wen is undemocratic, he will shoot him to death.
But overall, Lin Wen was still very happy, as he had accumulated 60,000 good fortunes.
Lin Wen had always drawn individually before, so his luck was not very good and he drew a lot of useless luck.
That pile of "fairy clothes" is his super dark history.
And that useless "Love Potion".
These are all single-draw disasters.
So Lin Wen decided to wait until he had ten fortunes and then open them together.
I don’t know if my luck will be better, or if there’s a guaranteed ten-game winning streak or something like that.
Of course, during this period, what Lin Wen was most looking forward to was the vague alarm from [Shen Wu Cai Feng].
It was a constant, very deep chill.
Although it is extremely small, it seems to mean great danger.
Lin Wen was very excited. He used [Luan Zhao Shui] many times to check his future.
Every time it is a perfect reincarnation, not a death by suicide.
This proves that he is on the right track.
So, Lin Wen galloped more and more frantically on Shizhou.
Whoever's warning is the harshest will be targeted for his granary, and whoever's shouting the loudest will be targeted for destruction.
As expected, the sense of danger grew.
But today, the sense of danger suddenly disappeared.
Lin Wen was very disappointed and thought that maybe he didn't hit her hard enough.
He immediately called Xiao Xiao and asked him to increase the daily grain sales quota to three million tons, and to crush those speculator vampires.
I just don't believe it. How long can you keep playing coward?
