Zongwu: Give you a chance and get a 10,000 times critical hit return!

He always felt that only by eating salt could he have strength.

But he was carrying a load on his back, so it was inconvenient for him to go over.

"I heard there's a war going on in Lin'an. The rebels are so powerful that they've entered Lin'an City. They're all very fierce!"

The cousins ​​are younger than Lu Ergou and are very concerned about these major events, hoping that they can also achieve great things.

Lu Ergou shook his head and said, "When war breaks out, the only ones who will suffer are us civilians. Look at them!"

He is very satisfied with his current life. He is married, pregnant, has something to do every day, and has hope for the future.

So, he doesn't like war.

Cousins ​​are different.

As the two were talking, they arrived at the city gate, where a long line of people preparing to enter the city had formed.

Because of Fang La’s uprising.

The intensity of vigilance and patrols has been increased inside and outside Suzhou city.

The person currently in charge of city defense is Yang Tiexin.

With Bao Buliang's recommendation, he joined Prince Jing's Mansion, and was then assigned to Yue Fei by Zhao Wuxian as a deputy general.

After Zhao Wuxian asked Yue Fei to form a new army, Yang Tiexin took over his position, and Wang Gui and Xu Qing served as his deputies.

Yang Tiexin is a descendant of the Yang family. He has inherited military tactics and marksmanship from his family. He has experienced many hardships and has a mature and steady personality.

It is more than enough for him to be a general of a thousand men guarding a city.

Yang Tiexin stood on the top of the city wall, paying attention to the traffic, when he suddenly noticed a few people talking to the merchant in a sneaky manner.

"Zaixing, go and see what those people are doing!" he said to a tall young man.

This person is his cousin and a descendant of the Yang family.

Seeing that he had good martial arts and was brave and good at fighting, Yang Tiexin took him to his side to train him.

"Second Brother Lu!"

Lu Ergou had just put down his carrying pole and was waiting in line to take a break when a thin and clever man came over.

After all, Lu Ergou is a "celebrity" related to Prince Jing. People in the village call him Ergou, while people outside call him Second Brother.

Lu Ergou glanced at him and recognized the man as Li Sanlang from the dental clinic.

A Yahang is a business firm or middleman that acts as a matchmaker between buyers and sellers, introduces transactions, and charges a commission.

In simple terms, it means using one's own intelligence and information gap to facilitate buying and selling transactions and earn the difference.

For example, if you come to Suzhou and want to rent or buy a house, but you don’t have any connections, what should you do?

Go to the government-run real estate agency to register, and then a real estate agent who specializes in this field will take you to view the house...

This industry is still popular even in later generations.

"Li Sanlang, my pork is only for the palace. We won't sell it to you."

Without waiting for Li Sanlang to speak, Lu Ergou refused first.

As long as there is one kind of product, it will be labeled as "exclusively supplied", "specially supplied", "tribute", "imperial gift", etc.

It has a price far exceeding the value of this type of goods.

The same is true for Lu Ergou's pork.

Some wealthy families who were not short of money wanted to try the pork from Lu Ergou's family to see what it tasted like.

Mainly just for the sake of benefit.

I have also eaten the pork that the prince eats. If I tell others about it, won’t I feel proud?

Li Sanlang approached Lu Ergou for this several times and was willing to pay a high price.

No matter what.

When Lu Ergou gets stubborn, he is really stubborn. No matter how high the price Li Sanlang offers, he won't give him even a piece of meat.

If they were not afraid that Lu Ergou and Zhao Wuxian had met and talked before, Li Sanlang and those people would have resorted to some tricks long ago.

Indeed, Lu Ergou was just a pig butcher, and Zhao Wuxian might not care about his life or death.

But isn't it a provocation to punish him for no reason?

When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner.

Who dares to gamble?

Facing the stubborn Lu Ergou.

This time, Li Sanlang smiled and said, "Second brother, I'm looking for you because I have a way to get rich overnight. Are you interested?"

Lu Ergou crossed his arms and ignored him, remaining alert.

The cousin asked curiously, "What is the way?"

Li Sanlang glanced around and said mysteriously, "You know about the Mingjiao uprising, right?"

"Ok!"

"The Ming Cult revolted, the people gathered in droves to respond, and the Liangzhe region fell."

"During such a time of war, the people are displaced, and coupled with natural disasters, the harvests in various parts of Jiangnan will inevitably plummet this year!"

"Do you know what this means?"

"what?"

Li Sanlang narrowed his eyes and smiled, whispering: "The price of grain, meat, vegetables, and everything related to life will skyrocket!"

"This is the time to stock up on supplies. As a businessman, the only way to sell is to stock up on supplies at a high price!"

Stockpiling?

The cousins ​​were moved.

Lu Ergou sneered, "Hoarding goods and selling them at a high price will result in beheading. Who dares to do that?"

Li Sanlang said, "Haha, the law cannot punish everyone!"

"Also, I heard that the ones who stockpiled the goods this time were the major families in Jiangnan. They were all secretly purchasing large quantities of supplies."

"We are just small fish and shrimp, we are just drinking the soup!"

"Besides, if you don't stock up, others will, and then the prices will skyrocket, and you will have to buy more expensive goods."

The cousins ​​thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Lu Ergou frowned and scratched his head.

"Besides, if you don't buy it now, won't the disaster victims buy it too?"

Li Sanlang sneered and said, "When more and more refugees arrive here, you won't be able to buy anything even if you want to!"

"Who are you?"

With a shout, Yang Zaixing brought people over.

The Lu Ergou brothers went into the city together.

Passing through Nanshi Street.

In ancient cities, what was sold in the market was strictly planned.

".. "In the East Market, buy a fine horse; in the West Market, buy a saddle; in the South Market, buy a bridle; in the North Market, buy a long whip."

It depicts the classification of market management in ancient times.

No one is allowed to occupy the road for business inside or outside the market.

The same is true in Suzhou.

Nanshi mainly sells grains, vegetables, meat, etc.

"Look, what a long line!"

Lu Ergou discovered that there were long queues outside several large rice shops, noodle shops, and other stores selling grain.

Two stores even put up out-of-stock signs and closed down.

When the time comes, the market opens and each shop starts to put new labels on the rice bags.

"What's going on? Food prices have gone up by 20%!"

A customer who had entered earlier saw the price tag and cursed angrily.

"Isn't it too expensive? I bought it yesterday and it wasn't this expensive!"

"Yes!"

"The profiteer is cheating people!"

The shopkeeper explained at the door.

"Everyone, listen to me. Because of the war in Jiangnan, the roads are cut off and it is inconvenient to travel. The freight rates for sending grain to Gusu have increased, and we are helpless."

A helper in the store sneered and said, "There is still food to buy now. If we wait a little longer, I'm afraid my family will also be closed!"

The people queuing at the back started to make a fuss.

"that is!"

"Don't even mention the price of grain. The prices of other things like meat are all skyrocketing. You can buy them if you want. If you don't want to buy, don't block my way!"

"Looking at the chaos and turmoil, it's better to stock up early to avoid starvation!"

"Who knows if the rebels will reach Suzhou!"

Amid the noise, panic buying occurred in South Market, North Market, East Market, West Market and other markets that deal in bulk goods.

The people blindly followed the advice and were encouraged to rush to the market to buy goods.

In one day.

The prices of food and commodities in Suzhou have skyrocketed.

It is not just Gusu. Since the Fang La uprising, prices have begun to rise slowly in Jiangnan and the southeast.
