After hearing this request, Xu Kang suddenly understood what Lin Fengjin meant. He couldn't help but spin around in circles a few times, so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and then he patted his head and said loudly:
"Tell them that I am here in a hurry, so the official seal is in the Yamen, and I have to wait until tomorrow to issue a road note."
The master who came to report was stunned for a long time. In fact, he was in charge of the official seal for Xu Kang. He knew that the official seal was in a portable box, so how could it be in the yamen? However, the boss must have a reason for saying this, so he didn't stop.
Say more, I went out to answer the question.
After everything was settled, Xu Kang hurried back to the county government office and summoned all the government officials. Each government official was given half a pound of reward, and then asked them to quickly notify the county government officials.
The wealthy gentry are requested to come to the county government office early the next morning. Even if they cannot come themselves, they must send someone to support the family.
Xu Kang's prestige in Wantian County was at its peak at this time. Both the villagers and the gentry respected him very much. After all, everyone could see that he was working hard to do practical things, and people's livelihood had indeed been improved to a certain extent, so second
Early in the morning, the gentry gathered inside the Yamen.
Xu Kang told them the price of wolfberry in the Jiangnan area. The group of people were stunned. Then he said that a maritime businessman would go to the countryside tomorrow to buy wolfberry. The brains of the group of people seemed to have lost their functioning. After a while,
An old man said in a trembling and timid voice:
"What does the county magistrate mean by summoning us?"
"Pricing!" Xu Kang waved his hand and said decisively: "Our best wolfberry is only sold for three dan for the same price. It is absolutely impossible to happen! I have called you here to discuss a suitable price.
Price, how much is the top grade, how much is the middle grade, and how much is the bottom grade, and then tell the folks that all the wolfberries in the county have the same price, and if you don’t buy it, get out!”
These squires looked at each other and said:
"Then what price does the county leader think should be set?"
Xu Kang also thought about it all night and said:
"High-quality dried wolfberry costs nine guan per load in Jiangnan, so we have to sell it for at least four guan per load, right? Doubling the profit for them?"
Everyone was shaking their heads violently, and they all said in panic:
"It's impossible. It's hard for people to come to collect wolfberries in our poor place. What if we scare them away?"
"Your Majesty, please make Moli Ling lose his mind."
"Yes, yes, to be honest, even if it only costs three dan, as long as someone is willing to pay this price for the wolfberry after August, I will be satisfied."
"There is no businessman without treachery, but we are the ones who have cultivated and inherited the family for nothing. We cannot be as cunning as businessmen."
"It's a hard rule to just accept it when it's good. It's other people's business how much they earn."
"It's too bad to be greedy for words."
""
After hearing what these country gentry said, Xu Kang was so angry that he almost fainted. He realized that these country gentry were just a bunch of bumpkins. In the end, he had no choice but to slap the table and use the magistrate's power to force him.
After a public opinion survey, the price was finally set at the price of two tons and five tons.
By the way, although Xu Kang strictly ordered that all sales prices should not be lower than this amount, there are still many "smart people" who are afraid that they will not be able to sell, so they really sell it when they see the money. They usually sell it for two dan, and they sell it.
After that, he was still mocking the others triumphantly. How much goods could the merchants of the two ships take in? So it was really the people who sold at low prices first who had all their goods, and the ones who insisted on high prices were not sold. It was very
upset.
However, a month later, the merchants who had tasted the sweetness came back. Because the distance between Shangmao and Wantian was only half that of Shangmao to the grassland outside Guanwai, the profits were also very generous, so of course they flocked to it. This time, it was a turn of events.
Those people who had been subject to the previous price reduction were dumbfounded. They saw people in the same village selling for 50 per dan, and they were so happy. The copper coins were poured into the dustpan, and they felt so painful in their hearts.
I wish I could give myself two big mouths!
The really smart people are some with brains. The most typical one is a guy named Su Gui. This person respected Magistrate Xu Kangxu like a god, so he planted a large number of wolfberries, which can be said to have combined all the wolfberries.
All the money was invested in it. After listening to the words of the county magistrate that the squires came back to convey, they pinched their own wolfberries tightly in their hands. Even if someone offered them a price of two and a half, they would not sell them. Some people would inevitably laugh.
He is a fool.
As a result, at the end, the southern merchants came to Wantian for the third time, and this time they were able to eat all the wolfberries in Wantian. At this time, Su Gui finally called out the price, four guans per load! Can't you buy it?
At this time, although the price of Shangmao's wolfberry had dropped slightly to eight guan, the half profit was still huge enough, so he ate all Su Gui's products.
At this time, those people who initially sold the wolfberry for two dan were completely wailing, four guan per dan, four guan! If I had kept the twenty dans of high-grade wolfberry, it would have cost 80 guan! The result was only
Sold ten strings, damn it!
After Su Gui made money, he happened to hear the news that the county magistrate was building a dock. He decisively spent the 80 guan he had just earned to buy a piece of land next to the dock, and then built houses, opened shops, and did business. Some people were still laughing at him.
If he went to open a shop in a place where there is no shit, wouldn't he just throw his money into the sea water? As a result, five years later, Su Gui was already the richest man in Wantian County.
Lin Fengjin and his party stayed in Wantian for three days. In fact, for most people, they only need to replenish water and go ashore for activities. It only takes a day to climb up to the sky. But the few monsters who opened the way
The physical exertion of the python is huge. It is really tiring to swim thousands of miles without sleeping or eating to get here, and to avoid various dangers along the way.
Therefore, the extra time is for these demon python ancestors to eat and rest. Lin Fengjin now finds that the appetites of these demon pythons are becoming more and more sophisticated. At first, they just wanted to eat enough and gain something.
I feel satisfied when I eat something, and then I ask for the food to be washed and peeled. During the peak season, I was worshiped as a god, and I started to be picky about my food. It must be roasted. But now? It requires the fire to be cooked until it is done.
The aroma of roasted fat is brought out, and the food is kept fresh and tender, and you also need to drink wine! This guy really changed from a slave to a master, he changed so quickly!
After these guys had enough to eat and drink, they finally started on the road and resumed their promising role as guides.
Because in the plan, there would be no stops to replenish supplies unless they reached the destination, so each ship carried seven or eight large animals, just to prepare for the river god's belly when he was hungry. In fact, people often
The quality of monsters is judged by whether they can eat people, while creatures like merchants are more directly utilitarian - a monster that doesn't eat itself is a good monster, and a monster that doesn't eat itself and can help make money is a grandfather of the gods -
—So they were quite enthusiastic when buying these livestock.
It was another long sailing process, and the most dangerous situation finally happened. Next to a bay with rocks intertwined like wolf teeth, five demonic pythons swam out together, blocking the front of the fleet and preventing them from moving forward. But the front
The sponge was calm, even sparkling, and dotted with large ice floes. There was no problem at all. Lin Fengjin's face became serious because he felt the ocean seven or eight miles away in front of him.
Among them, an overwhelming aura directly covered it, so domineering!
"Let's go and have a look." Lin Fengjin asked the fleet to stop moving forward, and refused to get closer. He also turned around and drove twenty miles away before proceeding. After all, the matter was serious, and he jumped onto a small boat, and then went with the five
The head demon python rushed forward together, rounded the nearby cape, and immediately saw in the water ahead, a huge object with a radius of at least several kilometers, floating leisurely against the water, as if it were a dark cloud.
It is lying across the water, and it is not clear what its identity is, but the impression it gives is that it is casual, domineering, calm and calm.
Python Wu was the one in charge among the several demonic pythons. He swam forward first to negotiate, but suddenly he seemed to encounter an invisible shield, and his body that was more than ten feet long was suddenly lifted out of the water.
Two or three meters high, then rolled and crashed into the water, causing huge waves! The terrifying existence in front of me was so arrogant that he didn't even bother to talk to him!
The remaining monster pythons were immediately enraged and rushed forward, their tails slapping the water violently! Showing strong hostility, a huge and indifferent voice came from the sea:
"Who dares to disturb me, my rest!"
"You, you reptiles with thin blood, get out of here quickly while my belly is still full!"
This was the first time that Lin Fengjin encountered a monster that did not betray the Ao family. It seemed that this was a terrifying existence coming from the deep sea. According to Ao Ye's description, these monsters should be those relics of ancient prehistoric times.
species, because they were almost exterminated on land, so they were forced to migrate deeper into the sea.
In the beginning, in order to adapt to life in the deep sea, these ancient relics had to use magical powers to forcibly change the structure and shape of their bodies in order to survive. However, as these ancient relics were passed down from generation to generation, this forced behavior of using magical powers to transform the body
Instead, it became an instinct and was passed on to their offspring. Their body shape and other aspects also became more adapted to life in the ocean. This is the origin of the terrifying existence in the deep sea at this time. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better
