The hall was noisy, but everyone could still hear Tan Lezi's high-pitched voice clearly. Some officers in the hall who were from Zhuangban were secretly observing Pang Yu. After all, this Shangguan had been a government servant a few years ago, and his reputation was quite bad.
As soon as Wu Dachai heard the words "What kind of thing is the yamen servant?", he immediately squinted his eyes to look at Pang Yu's face. In his mind, he was organizing sentences to attack Tan Laizi. Because Tan Laizi was quite powerful in terms of shortcomings, Wu Dacai seemed to have no trouble.
In terms of brains, Tan Leizi's dark materials have been prepared, ranging from incompetence to greed to cowardice.
His back was slightly arched, like a leopard about to prey. As soon as Pang Yu made the slightest sign, he was about to tear Tan Leizi to pieces.
But there was nothing strange about Pang Yu. Wu Dacai was immediately discouraged and could only swallow his words. The murderous atmosphere in the hall suddenly disappeared. Pang Yu felt a little enlightened. This was originally his area of expertise. When he was at Puzikou
He just bought grain from the city wall. When he went to Xuzhou this time, the magistrate said that grain was not allowed to leave the city, so he never thought of spending money with the grassroots.
Instead, he went to great lengths to ask Ruan Dacheng to take the upper-level route, and none of the officers present reminded him. They all seemed to have entered a certain mindset.
He looked at Tan Laizi and said gently, "What's your name? Have you ever been a dental shop before?" "The villain Tan Erlin used to be a dental shop, and then he became a gang member. I was the first dental shop to join the gang.
The first time I was inquiring about news in Hezhou, the villain saved more than a hundred people across the river. When he met the adults on the other side, the adults rewarded the villain with a piece of silver.
son.
Pang Yu suddenly realized that this happened, but he couldn't remember the details clearly. He pointed at Tan Lezi and said, "Tan Erlin, where are you now?"
"This villain followed the Third Division in the bloody battle at Erlang Town during the Susong War last year. After the war, he served as the commander of Qianshan No. 2 Dunba." Wu Dacai, who was sitting at the top, stared at the table without saying a word.
Yudu was in Anqing, and Wu Dacai met him often. He knew that this Shangguan was the most practical and never fussy. As long as he could do things, he could be promoted at any time.
Last month, a new secretary was directly promoted to the post of secretary of the workshop.
The workshop was even faster. Someone improved an engine and was directly promoted to level three. Wu Dachai himself did the same. Now it was obvious that Pang Yu could use Tan Lezi, so he couldn't object at this time.
The fort commander was promoted to the sixth level, and his status and real power were still different from Wu Tac Choi. His mentality was slightly balanced, and he cursed in a low voice, "It's bloody for you to fight, and you will jump into the river after being chased by the mother-in-law."
.” Sure enough, I heard Pang Yu say next to me, “Having served as a dentist, I was also able to spy on Hezhou, and even participated in the bloody battle in Erlang Town. It shows that my ability is very comprehensive. What I said today is also feasible. Let’s do it like this. The king of the transport department will
General, how many rice and beans need to be purchased? Give Tan Erlin a number, prepare the money and the frame, and let Chief Tan Erlin take charge of the grain purchase. Jiang Guoyong will follow Chief Tan. If anyone fails to coordinate, the matter will be dealt with immediately. Within three days.
If all are collected, Tan Erlin will record one
For your meritorious service, you will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver. After you return to Anqing, you will be promoted to a higher level. You will be able to choose a position at that level."
...At noon on the second day, a group of soldiers came up the avenue outside the south gate of Xuzhou. They pulled two carriages and stopped twenty steps away. They unloaded two boxes from them and fell to the ground with a bang. Piles of silver ingots fell on the ground.
On the road, there is a tinkling sound
There was a crisp sound, and as more and more silver was poured out, the white flowers were dazzling.
There was a commotion at the top of the Xuzhou city. The soldiers who were guarding the city ran to the city tower and crowded among the wall stacks to look at the scene outside. Their faces were full of excitement. Several gentry who led the soldiers to guard the city were also watching.
Then two soldiers pulled up a banner with bamboo poles, which read, "Three taels of silver buys one stone of rice." When those who were literate read it out, there was a noise on the wall, and then another banner was pulled out below, "Two taels of silver buys one stone of rice."
Stone beans," with
This was nearly three times the market price, and finally the third banner was raised, "Buy enough for spot silver delivery".
The news spread throughout the city in a matter of seconds, and news came from other directions that people were holding banners at the west gate and east gate. All the soldiers were watching the excitement at the city tower to see if anyone really came to sell. This group of officers and soldiers came from outside the city.
I have been here for ten days. I have not gone around robbing people or killing people. I have been stationed outside the city. Occasionally, people come to sell things to them. It seems that they also give
Those who have paid money have become accustomed to seeing the soldiers at the top of the city in the past ten days, and they are no longer afraid. Xuzhou is a hub of canals and post roads. Although it has been hit by many disasters and its status is not as good as it was in the Ming Dynasty, there are still many people inside and outside the city.
There is no shortage of food in many warehouses. If you can sell it at more than three times the market price, you will definitely make a fortune.
It was a good opportunity, and everyone was a little eager to try it, but after all, there were a lot of people outside, and everyone was still afraid of being fooled. After waiting for an hour, no one came, everyone was a little bored, and people dispersed one after another. Suddenly, there was a noise on the west wall, and everyone
I turned my head to look and saw that someone was hanging down from the wall. I don’t know where they were from the commissary. Then he was hanging down again.
After carrying two bags of grain, the two men quickly ran to the place where the flag was erected. The soldiers were a little excited to see if they could really get the money. The two placed the grain under the banner. The officers and soldiers inspected the grain and indeed gave it.
After receiving the money, the two of them looked at the quality and quickly ran towards the location where they just went down to the city, shouting loudly
Put some grain on top.
Seeing that someone had succeeded, there was chaos on top of the city. Immediately, the soldiers came down the wall and ran into the city. The gentry couldn't stop shouting, so they also asked their servants to go back to report the news. Before dark, the people in Nanmen Street had been closed down.
More than a hundred kilograms of rice and beans were sold, and the city was bustling with activity. People were transporting grain bags to the city wall everywhere. Many people carrying rice bags suddenly appeared outside the city. However, the settlement of the Anqing soldiers was slow, and later
There were still many confiscated banners and it was getting dark, so the Anqing soldiers put away the banners and went back. The news spread throughout Xuzhou city overnight. Early the next morning, before the Anqing soldiers came to pull the banners, people were hanging banners everywhere on the walls of Xuzhou.
and grain bags, as well as teams of mules and carriages appeared. Obviously they were not going down to the city. They were there yesterday.
The grain collection area is surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. It is more lively than the market.
It was only after dawn that the Anqing soldiers pulled the carriage over. The villagers who were going to the market voluntarily moved out of the way. When the Anqing soldiers arrived at where they were yesterday, the banner was erected again, which read "Two taels of silver and one tael of coupons, buy one stone of rice."
The crowd exploded with a bang, quarreling around Tan Lezi under the banner, insisting that he buy it according to yesterday's three taels of cash. Tan Lezi was short and surrounded by a group of people. He didn't even dare to say anything and huddled up.
He kept retreating until he was
A row of strong men leaned over. A row of armored soldiers like iron towers wearing masks stood there silently. The people who were going to the market immediately stepped back more than ten steps with a clatter, leaving a large open space.
After Tan Laizi was stunned for a moment, he immediately straightened up his chest.
, walked up to those people in a swagger, tilted his head back, as if looking down at all living beings. "Two taels of cash plus one tael of coupons, hey, it's a coupon, our Dajiang Bank's coupon, this is a good thing
, you can exchange it for cash in Huai'an, and after the Chinese New Year, you can exchange it for silver in Xuzhou, with interest. How about you
If you want or don’t want to, don’t stand in front and let others come.” Tan Leizi pushed the man in front of him away, waved the sticker in his hand and shouted, “If you want to buy rice and beans, come early, tomorrow will be full of stickers.
Tickets are paid, with interest!”
...Today there are still not many places where Anqing soldiers have passed. The crowds are crowded in the streets, and the whole market is very lively. Although today it has been changed to two taels of cash plus one tael of coupons, but only two taels of cash can make enough
Yes, then the sticker can be regarded as a gift.
It was given as a gift and it was not a loss at all, so after a brief commotion, the market continued trading.
Tan Leizi, with two armored soldiers and three pacification soldiers, walked around the streets. When he saw the open rice bags and bean bags, he went up to grab a handful and looked at them, looking like an expert.
"These beans are not too fresh. Turn them out and see if they are soaked in water...Look, what does Mr. Tan do? If you can deceive Mr. Tan, ask all Anqing..."
Before he finished speaking, a man appeared next to him. He said to Tan Laizi, "This military master, no matter how much rice and beans your camp wants to buy, the villain's family can provide it, saving you military masters this trouble."
It's so hard." Tan Leizi raised his head and looked at him. He was a middle-aged man with luxurious and warm clothes and a bit of hair. He looked like a typical dock head. The dock head kept winking and moved his sleeves a few times. Tan Leizi was here
The dock is well-informed and naturally knows
He didn't know what he meant. But a few town guards were standing behind him. How dare he take advantage of this, so he had to take a step back.
After secretly glancing around, he found that Jiang Guoyong was not far away, and he didn't know if he paid attention to this area. He couldn't accept anything he gave him, so he had to say, "Buy a large amount of rice and beans at this price.
"The dock is not surprised. Wholesale and retail are definitely different. It's just that this group of Anqing soldiers are so weird that they give cash when they buy things. Qiu Ba who has passed by in these years has never done this, and the prices are so high. It's simply
I'm here to give you money.
, belongs to super high-quality large customers.
He said flatteringly, "Sir, please give me a price." Tan Leizi said calmly, "Of course you should report it first. Master, I will buy it if I think it is suitable. We can buy it for hundreds or even thousands of dan. We want to buy it in Xuzhou.
We also want to buy in Shandong and along the canal. If you can only sell in Xuzhou, then report
Price for coming to Xuzhou.”
"The villain has food everywhere on the canal. The army of Anqing can provide all the food to the villain. In Xuzhou, every stone is 2 taels, and in Shandong, it is 2 taels and five cents. This is the price of delivering it to your camp, sir.
Do you think it’s suitable?”
"? If you want to do my business, please give me a real price. Mr. Tan, I tell you, there are already several companies in Shandong with lower prices than yours." "My rice and beans are good, and this price is the most suitable."
, Master, you will know after seeing it." The dock man stretched out his sleeves and shook them in front of Tan Leizi. A banknote inside almost flew out, and the eyes of several policemen around him were wide open. Then
The people at the dock only thought that these soldiers were Mr. Tan's servants, so they didn't know how to appease them.
The dock head blinked repeatedly, and Tan Laizi cursed this fool in his heart, so he had to step back and said, "Master Tan, I am an upright person. What I hate most in my life is corrupt officials. Don't play with such thoughts."
He took a step closer to the dock and asked, "Do you want gunpowder?"
Tan Laizi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the Zhenfu soldier behind him. Seeing that the man was shaking his head, he turned back to the dock and said, "No."
The man from the dock came over and said mysteriously, "Do you want me, mother? I can send him to the army."
Tan Laizi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then waved his hands and said, "Well, our Anqing camp is a mighty teacher. All of these teachers of education are as upright as Mr. Tan and I. My mother can't even look at anything."
One glance.”
Naturally, the dock man didn't believe it, "Master, you are not that kind of person at first sight. As long as the commander says a word, the villain can follow with the carriage, change it to a different one every night, and send it to the camp for the commander." Tan Laizi said for a while.
Excited, he noticed a group of people standing beside him from the corner of his eyes. With a quick glance, he saw that it was Pang Yu and Jiang Guoliang. He coughed dryly and immediately said sternly to the dock, "Military discipline is strict, sir."
Or not
It's a good joke. This is a place to purchase military supplies. No one wants to watch singing and dancing. For this, you can go to the flag place and quote the real price. Mr. Tan, I will leave it to my family to decide."
After sending away the pier, Tan Leizi turned around and was shocked when he saw Pang Yu, as if he had just discovered it. He rushed to Pang Yu and said, "Let your lord know that the grain harvest yesterday was 335 shi."
, with one thousand and five taels of silver, one hundred and forty-three shi of beans collected, and two hundred and eighty-six taels of silver. Today’s pricing is still three taels of silver for the price of rice, and the coupons are discounted at two taels of silver.
The price of rice and beans is two taels of silver, and the coupons are paid with one tael of silver and one tael. Everyone is still vying to sell them. Today, they will definitely collect a thousand shi. The price of beans and rice is much worse. It is estimated that they will have to collect more tomorrow.
Half a day." "I bought enough food in one and a half days, and also used a lot of coupons. When these people exchange them for cash, the reputation of coupon coupons will spread around Xuzhou." Pang Yu said happily, "Mr. Tan Bao
Having ideas and being able to implement them, things are done beautifully,
The silver reward will be given out immediately, I don’t know if you want cash or coupons.”
Tan Leizi hesitated and said, "Cash money."
He immediately felt something was wrong and immediately added, "It would be better if I could get a subsidy ticket."
"It doesn't matter. Chief Tan Bao makes his own decision. You can change these two things at any time." Pang Yu said generously, "There is also a promotion. You are allowed to choose a position in the magistrate level."
Tan Laizi did not hesitate this time and almost blurted out, "Mother-in-law Dunbao."
Pang Yu was stunned, then laughed loudly, and patted Tan Leizi hard on the shoulder, "Then we can only go back and change it. I have written it down, and Chief Tan Bao will go and do the work."
Tan Laizi bowed and left. Pang Yu still felt funny in his heart, so he walked around in the street. Pickles of rice and beans were piled on the street, and he was loading them onto the bicycle frame. Pang Yu walked to a rice bag and patted it with his hand.
Finally, he said with satisfaction, "It's not difficult to make food."
