Chapter 26 If something goes wrong, there must be a demon Quan Xu sat on the bed very comfortably, watching Sanniang check the gift sent by Chen Ying.Snowflake Guanyin, in fact, is just a name.refers to the standard fifty taels of silver ingots, which appear black due to oxidation, and are not as silver as in film and television dramas.A large box of silver ingots, divided into two layers, one of sixteen, neatly arranged, two rooms are thirty-two, one thousand six hundred taels.Secondly, there were twenty horses of silk and ten horses of Shu brocade, which were made of blue, crimson and cyan.Then there's the lacquered box, which contains eight pearls.Sanniang carefully hugged her in her arms, for fear that Quan Xu would leave.Quan Xu couldn't help but smile: "Do you like it?"
”"What?""
Do you like these things?""
I like it!"
Quan Xu pointed to the cloth and silver and said, "It's all yours!"
”"Thank you!"
Sanniang happily hugged Quan Xu's arm and shook it for a while.Quan Xu pointed to the thirty pieces of cloth and said: "These cloths, you can also make a few clothes, after all, the New Year is coming soon!"
”"Xianggong, you're so nice!"
Sanniang was faintly lost.Last night, she had another month.This means that she is not pregnant.In fact, Sanniang only knows a little about these things, although she and Quan Xu sleep in the same bed, they have never broken through that boundary, not to mention that they will not get pregnant now, even if they sleep for ten or eight years, she will not get pregnant."
And Sixi, and your mother, she hasn't shown up lately, is she feeling better?"
Quan Xu didn't know that Tang Qiu's family was actually a very traditional and responsible woman, and she was afraid that Quan Xu would think he was an eyesore, so she deliberately avoided Quan Xu.It's not just her, it's even Sixi.Today, that row of empty houses in the backyard.Tang Qiu, Xin Fang, and He Liu, three widows, live in the backyard with their children.Even if it is to eat, Tang Qiu eats in the backyard, and it is easy not to come to the front yard.Sanniang nodded: "My mother's body has long been healed, she is just ......"
"These cloths, you give her a few horses, and make a few new clothes for her and your brother!"
”…… Quan Xu deliberately cooled Chen Ying for an hour, until his whole body was about to stiffen, then Luo Shiming informed Chen Ying to come over.Chen Ying's appearance at this time was a little embarrassed, and his fat was bruised from the cold.In fact, relatively speaking, fat people are more afraid of cold than thin people, however, fat people with more meat will resist frost.In extremely cold temperatures, the body temperature of the thin person will drop quickly, but the fat person will not die quickly because of the fat problem, although it is uncomfortable.Yaya brought Chen Ying a cup of hot tea, of course, the tea was a pack of Biluochun for eight yuan.However, at this time, Chen Ying was gulping down the tea, which felt very delicious.Quan Xu looked at Chen Ying and said: "I like to be direct, just say whatever you want, don't beat around the bush!"
”Chen Ying didn't know that Quan Xu was deliberately punishing him, he nodded like a little bird: "Quan Gongzi, Chen's proprietor heard that Quan Gongzi has a batch of grain in his hands!"
”"Not bad!""
How much?""
So-so, 100,000 stones!"
When Quan Xu and Lu Xiangsheng were discussing, they knew that due to the drought, the grain output of the Daimyo Mansion had been reduced by about 30%, and there was a shortage of grain, but it was not serious.When there is a real need to conspicuous food shortage, it will not be until April or May next year, when grain will really affect the survival of the people.However, the influx of foreign victims, especially from Shaanxi and Henan, to the Daimyo Prefecture exacerbated the food shortage.In fact, these victims did not affect the supply and demand of the food market, after all, they did not have the money to buy food.However, Lu Xiangsheng adopted tough measures to force the gentry to donate money and food to fight the disaster, and these gentry were not happy.The main grain merchants of the Daimyo Mansion were actually the spokesmen of the gentry of the Daimyo's Mansion, and they were controlled by the gentry behind the scenes, and they deliberately reduced the amount of grain shipments, which exacerbated the panic of the common people.Although Lu Xiangsheng came forward many times to announce the news of sufficient food, the people said that they believed Lu Xiangsheng, but secretly hoarded food in various ways.Because of natural disasters and man-made factors.The price of grain in the Daimyo's Mansion went all the way up, and under the operation of the seller's market, most of the people's savings flowed into the pockets of the gentry.Lu Xiangsheng faced this problem, in fact, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.Quan Xu's vote to Lu Xiangsheng is to use grain to make the famous gentry suffer a loss.The current gentry and daimyo took advantage of the panic of the victims and the common people, and they made a lot of money, not only making up for the loss of being forced to donate by Lu Xiangsheng, but also making a lot of money.But with the arrival of Quan Xu, the biggest variable appeared.Once the price of food is brought back to normal levels, who else will they make?
As the saying goes, it is easy to be thrifty and it is difficult to be thrifty to be thrifty.The gentry controlled a large amount of land, and in normal years, they really didn't make much money.Their land was not planted by themselves, but by tenants.Even if you collect 30% or 40% of the rent, one acre of land will be five or six buckets, three or four dollars of silver.10,000 acres of land is only three or four hundred taels.As a result of the drought, combined with their operations, the price of grain has risen four or five times, and they have earned four or five times more money for the same grain.When Lu Xiangsheng carried 4,000 stone of grain into the Daimyo's Mansion City, these gentry immediately noticed this problem, and at the same time, Quan Xu Quangongzi, a wealthy man from outside, also entered the gentry's field of vision.The gentry also had the ability to make money, and soon asked Quanxu's address.If it weren't for Quan Xu who caught Lu Xiangsheng's line at the first time, he would have caused public anger in the Daimyo's Mansion if he crossed the line like this.Those gentry will be unceremonious, send out their families, disguise themselves as bandits, and kill Jeon Xu.But now they don't dare.Because, they heard that Lu Xiangsheng sent the officials and various officials under his command to keep an eye on the major wealthy families, the purpose was obviously easy to see, so they waited for them to do it.As long as Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of the Daimyo Prefecture, is honest, Lu Xiangsheng will not be polite to them.In this case, the gentry and big families met overnight, and finally came up with a temporary method and sent people to probe the details of Quan Xu.So, Chen Ying came to the Quan's compound in Jindi.When he heard about 100,000 stones, Chen Ying didn't believe it, 100,000 stones of grain, in this era, it takes tens of thousands of carts to transport, and there is no reason for such a scale to hide from the gentry of the entire Daimyo's mansion.In fact, Lu Xiangsheng also had suspicions, but the direction of his suspicion was that a certain big family in the Daimyo's Mansion had rebelled, and pushed Quan Xu, a chess piece, out to prepare a feast.Lu Xiangsheng didn't mind being this knife, after all, the benefits would really fall on him."
I wonder what happens to the grain?"
Quan Xu didn't understand where Chen Ying was testing his details, he deliberately pretended to be angry and said, "Mr.
Chen, don't you believe Quan?"
Let's go and take a look, my food here is all first-class goods!
”The grain that Quan Xu bought this time was actually far more than 5,000 stones, he actually bought 500 tons.And what Lu Xiangsheng transported away was only 4,000 stones, about 180 tons.Two-thirds of the food is actually in Quanxu's backyard.Under the leadership of Quan Xu, Chen Ying came to the large warehouse in the backyard.Because it is a grain warehouse, these prefabricated houses are all locked, and Quan Xu took a large set of keys to open a house with an area of about two or three hundred square meters.At this time, the house was filled with neat piles of grain, sacks of grain, piled up to about a person's height.Chen Ying is naturally an expert, even if he doesn't need to weigh it, he hurriedly glanced at it, and felt that at least four or five thousand stone grain could be stored in such a house.Chen Ying pretended to open a few sacks, looked at the blue-white rice, the wheat with full grains, and spot-checked several warehouses one after another, the quality is indeed what Quan Xu said, it is definitely a first-class and first-class goods.Actually, Chen Ying didn't know.In fact, the grain he saw was only more than 300 tons, and the total was more than 7,000 stones.Most of the grain only has the upper layer, and of course, Quan Xu has the ability to exchange these mud soldiers for grain at any time.Sure enough, looking at a row of more than twenty warehouses full of grain, Chen Ying no longer doubted, he tried to ask, "Quan Gongzi, could it be that all this grain was bought by Lord Lu?"
”"No, no, Lord Lu only ordered 4,000 stones, and there are still more than 95,600 stones!"
Quan Xu looked at Chen Ying with a smile and said, "Mr.
Chen wants to buy grain?"
”"Is Quan Gongzi's grain sold?""
The price is right, it will definitely be sold!"
Quan Xu smiled: "I can't eat so much grain, I transported this grain from Huguang, I just heard that the price of grain in the Daimyo Mansion is good!"
”Chen Ying looked at Quan Xu with a smile and said: "Quan Gongzi, the business of selling grain is particular, every grain merchant has its own grain source and its own shipping place, and it will be angry to rush to other people's territory to sell grain." ”"Haha......"
Quan Xu smiled disapprecitately: "Anger?
”Chen Ying squeezed out a smile: "Of course, the grain fellows of the Daimyo Mansion will not let Quan Gongzi lose money, these grains of yours, my master wants them!"
”"How much?""
Nine coins of silver per stone, ninety thousand stones, that is nine nine hundred eighty-one thousand taels of silver!"
Quan Xu finally had a new insight into the shamelessness of these gentry, and the people went to the grain store to buy grain, and each stone of grain cost two or three taels of silver, which was not only short of catties and short taels, but also mixed with a large amount of sand and stones.came to collect his own grain, but he was only willing to give nine pieces of silver.Quan Xu's face became very ugly, Chen Ying is also a worker, and he is not the one who really sits in charge, otherwise Quan Xu will scold.Chen Ying watched Quan Xu's face change greatly, and hurriedly explained: "The price is all over the sky, and the money will be repaid on the ground, if Quan Gongzi is not satisfied, we can bargain slowly." ”Quan Xu smiled coldly: "Two taels of silver and one stone, 90,000 stone of surplus grain, all sold to Mr.
Chen, how about it?"
”Chen Ying shook his head resolutely and said, "This price is unacceptable to Chen."
The purchase price of two taels of silver and one stone, and then counting the costs of transportation, sales and other links, Chen did not dare to say that he was at a loss, but he didn't make much money, no, no. ”Quan Xu said with a smile: "If Mr.
Chen doesn't want to, forget it, now that the price of grain is soaring, there is no market, I don't believe that no one wants this batch of grain." ”Quan Xu is very calm, now there is a shortage of grain everywhere, grain is at a price a day, and he has a large amount of grain in his hands, and he is afraid that no grain merchant will automatically come to the door?
Chen is not surprised by Quanxu's toughness, it's not easy to find fools these days, if you want to make money, you have to pay the corresponding price.He smiled and said, "Quan Gongzi, there is a way to ask for a sky-high price, and we can talk about it slowly!"
”"Please!"
Chen Ying was invited to the room next to the West Wing again, of course, this time he was given a brazier, and the negotiator was also replaced by Yuan Shiqing.Quan Xu realized that it was not a matter of price, if he really wanted to buy it sincerely, even if he ate two taels of silver, they would buy it, after all, the wool came out of the sheep.However, Chen Ying's attitude was very calm, which made Quan Xu feel like a ghost.When things go wrong, there will be demons.Soon, Quan Xu thought of a possibility.The gentry of the Ming Dynasty were not good men and women, and there was nothing they didn't dare to do for the sake of profit.Then, it is very likely that they will take coercive measures against Quan Xu, to say that these gentry did not collude with the bandits, Quan Xu did not believe it.Although Lu Xiangsheng will protect him, Lu Xiangsheng's insurance is not omnipotent, and he still needs to be hard to strike iron.Quan Xu took the 1,000 taels of gold he got from Lu Xiangsheng, about 37 kilograms, Quan Xu carried the gold on his back, came to the backyard, and looked left and right to see no one.Start the time travel and return to the afterlife.…… Quan Xu woke up again, and he was still in the warehouse in Yanjiao.Shen Xiangming rubbed his eyes and looked at Quan Xu worriedly: "Quan Dong is good!"
”Quan Xu's mobile phone instantly poured in a large number of messages and messages, and while he looked through it, he looked at Shen Xiangming and said: "I let people transport the things from the warehouse overnight, you don't have to worry about this, do your job well!"
”"Yes!"

Quan Xu called out Hong Haiyang's phone: "Brother Hong, how is the prop factory talking?"
”"After the negotiation, as long as the money arrives, you can go through the transfer procedures immediately!"
Quan Xu asked, "Do they have any weapons in stock?"
”"Yes......
There are some, but most of them are just like goods!
”Quan Xu was a little disappointed: "That......
How about the production capacity?
”Hong Haiyang seemed to think of something: "Quan Dong, you ......
You're pulling on the project again?
”Quan Xu thought for a while and said: "No, it's just an intention, whether we can take it down or not, then it depends on whether the quality of our props is up to standard!"
If you can get me thirty Yanling knives, ten repeating antler crossbows, one hundred tigers rushing arrows, large, medium, and small tiger squat cannons in one day, which can be fired, as well as sub-mother cannons, that's all for the time being, I have an eighty percent chance of winning this project, Brother Hong, whether you can do it depends on yours. ”"How big is the project?"
Quan Xu was slightly stunned, he looked at the backpack behind him, one thousand taels of gold, that is, more than 13 million yuan: "Ten million!"
”"Then you don't have to do it tomorrow, I'll let them work overtime all night tonight, and I promise to get these things for you before ten o'clock tomorrow morning!"
If the production capacity of the Ming Dynasty is used, these weapons are estimated to take ten days and half a month, however, under the manufacture of modern technology, the weapon of the Yanling knife, as long as the set parameters are entered, the CNC machine tool can be manufactured in just a few minutes, as for the tiger squat cannon, it is actually simpler, and the thing is a miniature version of the conscienceless cannon after speaking.It's just that the gunpowder of the Ming Dynasty is less powerful, and if you take explosives, that cannon can definitely blow up one piece.
