Chapter 290 The Business War Begins
Shen Nanzhi was waiting for him to say this, "There are only ten servings, no more, no need to take it every day, only take it when the pain becomes unbearable."
Jin Changsheng felt a little distressed about the ten thousand taels of silver, but thinking about the money earned from the grain, he felt it was acceptable. "Okay, I'll take it, but don't lie to me. Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you are the son of the prefect.
There are many accidents when you are out, and countless people have been injured or died from bumps and collisions. Young Master Yang should be more sensible. "
This is a threat to me. Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Master Jin, tell me what you said. It's the same principle. If everyone knows what's right, we can live a good life. Don't you think so?"
"Haha, Young Master Yang is indeed a wonderful person. I am willing to make friends with you."
"I am also willing to be friends with Master Jin. To show my sincerity, I have some good medicine. Master Jin will like it."
"Oh, what medicine?"
Shen Nanzhi took out a packet of medicine powder, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and her expression looked a little unnatural. Master Jin immediately became alert. Could it be poison?
"What is this for? All men know. Drink a little bit when you are not having an erection. It will ensure that Mr. Jin will be able to regain his strength."
Jin Laoye: “…”
It turned out to be that kind of medicine. This Young Master Yang is weird. Why does he carry this kind of medicine with him?
"Well, this is to honor my father. It's similar to Master Jin's taste, so I'll leave it to you first. I'll go find a doctor to prescribe medicine later."
"Thank you, how much is it?"
"This pack is worth one thousand taels, and can be used dozens of times. Use it sparingly."
Master Jin looked at him deeply, "Okay, Master, I'll stay. I hope it works."
"It will definitely work. It's more effective than any aphrodisiac. If you don't believe it, you can find someone else to try it first. You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt the quality of my medicine."
Shen Nanzhi's words made Mr. Jin open his mouth, but he could not utter a word of rebuttal.
Sounds like a cunning but principled profiteer.
"Okay, Master, I understand. Do you have anything else to do?"
"No more. If possible, I hope you can do good deeds, Master Jin, and not make fortunes from disasters. You are not short of money, so why do you have to do such immoral things that will make your son have no asshole?"
Master Jin: “…”
Just when I thought he was a human being, he immediately started to provoke him again, "Master, I have nothing to say to you, get out of here."
Shen Nanzhi shrugged. She had already advised him, but there was no way to stop him if he was determined to commit suicide.
She looked at him deeply, then turned and left.
Diabetes and gout may be accompanied by high blood pressure. If he indulges in sexual activities a few more times, his vitality will be overdrawn. He may easily die suddenly if stimulated in the future. This may be the last time I see him.
Those who do evil will eventually perish. Shen Nanzhi was just giving him a ride and hastening his death.
If I take good care of myself, exercise more, and eat more vegetarian food to maintain my health, I can live another ten or eight years. But now, haha...
Shen Nanzhi withdrew 11,000 taels of silver from the accounting office. The accountant looked at her as if she were a dead person. No one could extort money from the master.
Shen Nanzhi left the Jin family, walked a few streets, changed into women's clothes, and got rid of the people from the Jin family. If it wasn't too late, she would definitely teach this group of running dogs a lesson.
After returning to the Xu family, Shen Nanzhi called a meeting with everyone and arranged tasks to target grain merchants and bring down grain prices.
Ding Xiangrong was also there. After all, he had been in Qinghe County for a long time and had many acquaintances there, so he had to step forward to do this matter.
Ding Xiangrong was not in a good mood, but since it was a serious matter, he still pulled himself together and asked, "What if the grain merchants don't accept our grain?"
"If they want to make money from the disaster, they must control the inflow of foreign food so that they can monopolize it. They will definitely take it. After all, their sphere of influence is only one county, not the entire state capital."
"Okay, if we do as you say, will we have that much food?"
"Yes, we are just temporarily diverting the grain from Zhao County. When the grain price drops, we can buy it back at a low price. With this in and out, we won't be short of grain, and we can make a lot of money.
Everyone should cheer up and after finishing this work, we can all have a prosperous new year.
All actions this time will be arranged by Ding Xiangrong. Desheng, you too, don't do bad things. People who accomplish great things don't care about small details. I don't care about the usual fights and quarrels, but if anyone backs down and plays dirty tricks on the important matters, don't follow me in the future. Do you remember?"
The young men of the Shen family immediately said, "Remember it."
Ding Xiangrong was touched, "Nanzhi, I don't obey anyone except you. I sincerely call you sister. From now on, I will only listen to you. My father's words will not work."
Shen Nanzhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You don't listen to your father anyway, so don't talk nonsense to me. I only look at your actual actions. You are not a little girl who can be fooled by your words.
Rest early, this is a war without gun smoke, whether you can make a lot of money depends on you. "
The young men left excitedly, and Ding Xiangrong was also full of confidence and forgot about his emotional entanglements.
Xu Saifei listened quietly without interrupting. She roughly understood Shen Nanzhi's plan, but there were some details that she didn't understand. She wouldn't ask too many questions, but she knew she would understand eventually.
"Sister Xu, you also have a mission."
"What mission? Just tell me."
"In a business war, public opinion is also very important. Send trustworthy people to spread the news in the city tomorrow, so that the people will believe that grain prices will fall and not buy high-priced grain."
"I understand, but what if they don't believe it?"
"Then tell them that the son of Prefect Yang is here to inspect and help the county magistrate find grain merchants to stabilize grain prices. The county magistrate will also come forward to cooperate with you."
"Okay, I know what to do."
"Is your father's illness better?"
Xu Saifei smiled and said, "I have to thank Brother Desheng for making a heated kang for me. Now my father is not cold at all. After taking medicine and having a good sleep, he can eat and is much better now."
"That's good. You still have to keep taking medicine. Coughs are the hardest to cure. If you're not careful, you'll develop a chronic illness. Don't catch a cold."
"I know, thank you so much."
Shen Nanzhi waved her hand: "It's not worth mentioning. It's our fate that we meet. There is one more thing. You can do it when you have time in the future."
"what's up?"
Shen Nanzhi talked about Mrs. Chen's predicament and County Magistrate Chen's selfishness and indifference to his family, which made Xu Saifei very angry: "I always thought that Lord Chen was a good official, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel to his family. He even watched his own son die without saving him. What is he trying to do?"
"People pursue different things. County Magistrate Chen did not intend to force his family members to death. He just felt that an official must be honest, and his family members must also be willing to endure hardships and work hard. However, he ignored the responsibility of a husband and father to support the family, and put all the pressure on Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen didn't know how to balance the relationship between the inner house and the outside world, and let him have whatever he wanted. He didn't know how difficult the family was, and thought that Mrs. Chen could take care of everything.
Such men can be admired, but cannot be lived with.
Of course, it depends on whether Mrs. Chen will change in the future. If she is smart, she will know how to refuse Mr. Chen."
Xu Saifei said, "I understand what you mean. Let Mrs. Chen learn to be more thoughtful. Don't empty your family's savings to give to Mr. Chen when he asks for money. That would be foolish and make yourself and your children suffer."
"Who says it's not?"
Xu Saifei sighed, "Mrs. Chen had lost two children before. I was familiar with the doctor who treated her. He said that she was too weak to keep the children. I was also wondering how the wife of a county magistrate could be so weak and malnourished. So that's it."
"Really? Mrs. Chen is really patient."
In fact, women of this era can endure everything. They are taught from childhood to be obedient and submissive, to endure their parents' partiality, their husbands' infidelity, and their parents-in-law's oppression. If they could not endure it, they would have died long ago.
"It's getting late, you should go and rest too."
After Xu Saifei left, Shen Nanzhi did not have time to rest, but went to a forest outside the city. There was a small wooden house there, which was left by hunters when they occasionally rested. It was empty now, and it was just right for storing food.
More than 10,000 kilograms of grain were stored, half of which was brown rice and half was wheat. Rice was more expensive, and most people in the north could not afford it.
Only after arranging everything can I sleep peacefully.
……
Master Jin woke up the next day, feeling refreshed and his face was much rosier. He had favored his concubine last night and felt as energetic as a dragon and a tiger, as if he had returned to his youth.
The concubine begged for mercy several times, and only after her great male dignity was satisfied did Master Jin fall into a deep sleep.
And the concubine kept rolling her eyes. She was as fat as a pig and almost crushed the man to death. It would be better if she could sleep peacefully when she couldn't do it.
After so much trouble, I'm about to catch a cold. He doesn't care about the season, and he still has the mood to tinker with it. I really want to cut it off and get rid of it once and for all.
Mr. Jin's good mood only lasted for half a day. Lin Yuanwai, a member of the Chamber of Commerce, came to see him anxiously, "President Jin, it's bad. The court has transferred grain from other counties. It's just outside the city and will enter the city soon."
"What? It's so cold, the roads are blocked, how did they get it here?"
"I've seen it myself. It's a strange vehicle without wheels that can go on the snow. That's not good."
"Is that so? Was it transported by the officials?"
"No, they are grain merchants. How can we not know the moral character of the officials? If there is not enough grain for them to embezzle, they will definitely not be able to help other counties."
"It's easy if it's a grain merchant. We can buy it at the market price."
Mr. Jin had also thought about this situation and prepared some cash, but not much, because he didn't think anyone could transport food in the heavy snow.
All grain merchants are well-off, so let's all pool our money together and make sure we seize this opportunity and not let foreign grains drive down the price.
"Go get in touch with this grain merchant again. If you don't make money, you're a fool. Get him to help you make money. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. You know what I mean."
Lin wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "President, we are all here to make money. I dare not do such things as murder and arson."
Master Jin was furious: "To achieve great things, one must be ruthless. Look at your inability to achieve anything. I'll send people to do the dirty work, and you just need to win them over."
