Luo Wentian's arrival caused a commotion in Mengjiazhuang. Some of the left-behind Guandi Army and the old and weak Zhuangzi came over and pointed at each other, and was amazed.

They have never seen such a handsome person in their lives.

I have never seen someone who is so cool in walking posture.

Luo Wentian probably had been used to being watched by others for a long time. He looked calm and unchanged and followed Qin Chuan and Wang Jizong to the gatehouse in a casual manner.

After watching the tea sit down and making some polite words, Luo Wentian took out a book of accounts and pointed it out to Qin Chuan every day, showing how many ironware they sold and how much money they earned.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Wentian expressed his intention and said that he wanted to meet his boss and then asked the boss to ship the grain to Jingle Grain Shop.

Because the grain shop in the county has long been gone, but two days ago, a large number of villagers shouting to eat grain suddenly gathered outside the shop, which made him, the shopkeeper, have a headache every day.

Qinchuan was a little puzzled. Aren’t there several grain shops in the county? It was just after the autumn harvest, and it was impossible for the other several to have no grain to sell.

Luo Wentian said that the other families closed at the same time two days ago and claimed that there was no grain to sell. On the same day, a rumor suddenly appeared in the county, saying that a large family in the Loufan Meng family had robbed the wealth and helped the poor, and robbed the grain of several large households, and were preparing to open a warehouse for the grain of the Loufan Meng family and the county town to help the people.

Just as the news of the Loufan battle reached Jingle, people did not dare to come to Loufan, so they gathered outside the Jingle Grain Store, and the noise was endless every day.

At the same time, Luo Wentian also found out that several large Shanxi merchants were contacting various gentry and wealthy families in Jingle and Lan County. They didn't know what business they were talking about. They were mainly led by the Fan family, and there were also people from the Jin family and Zhai family in Zhangjiakou.

Upon hearing the news, Qin Chuan's face darkened.

Is Fan Yongdou's old dog doing small things behind his back again?

It would be fine to spread rumors, but he and the Jin family and Zhai family sent people to contact the gentry and wealthy families nearby. What is the meaning?

At this time, Wang Jizong frowned slightly and said, "The big manager, Jizong thought that Fan Yongdou wanted to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot, and then cause trouble to the east and flood our Mengjiazhuang."

Qin Chuan frowned: "What do you say?"

"He contacted all the gentry and wealthy families just to buy grain. The reason why those grain shops closed was probably because Fan Yongdou bought most of the grain at a high price. After the grain storage in Jingle land was not enough, villagers and hungry people from all walks of life would flock to Mengjiazhuang, where there was still food, and the time would inevitably attract the attention of the government."

"If we don't open the warehouse and release grain, the government will inevitably intervene and even cause civil unrest. During the intervention, Mengjiazhuang needs to be wary of civil unrest day and night, so all matters will naturally be difficult to carry out smoothly."

Qin Chuan frowned again: "I'm just killing him a few members of the Fan family, so I won't have such a big fight, right? What's more, can a mere Fan family eat the food from Jingle and Lan County?"

"If there is only one Fan family, it will definitely not be able to eat it, but if the Zhangjiakou families join forces, and even the merchants in Yuci in Qi County will also get involved, no amount of food will fill their appetite."

"As for why we have to create such a big battle... the Fan family and us are second-hand. The most important thing is to trade. No matter how much the grain price rises, as long as they can collect grain, they can be transported outside the customs and make sure to make a profit without losing money. Especially outside the customs, it is already a cold winter, which is the most scarce moment of food."

"The Fan family has just lost 5,000 stones of grain and is eager to make up for the gap. Most of the two places in Xuanda are military farms, and the central and southern Shanxi has just been looted by bandits. The places where they purchase grain must be placed in places where they have not been looted by bandits. For example, Daizhou, Qizhou, and Lan County's small plains are fertile and have never been guided by bandits, so they have naturally become the place where they collect grain."

After hearing these words, Qin Chuan frowned and fell into deep thought.

Wang Jizong's analysis is reasonable, and he should be indecisive.

If he was a traitor, he would have come to Jingle and Lan County to purchase grain. He would have transported it out before the snow was blocked and he could dislike his enemy.

The combined population of Jingle County and Lan County is more than 100,000, most of which are tenants and poor self-cultivated farmers. These people basically cannot support themselves through harvests throughout the year. Many people have to make some fragments of money on other livelihoods to buy grain to survive.

The grain is basically concentrated in the hands of large gentry and large households, and there will be no food transported in the chaos outside. If the large households do not sell grain, or the grain prices will surge again, I don’t know how many people will become refugees and eventually become bandits.

Among them, there will definitely be many people gathered in Mengjiazhuang to cause trouble, and even gathered to attack Mengjiazhuang.

Qin Chuan was not afraid of being attacked, but he didn't want to see the Chiye Qianli in Jingle County and Lan County, nor did he want to see the common people going to be refugees, and eventually turned into bandits.

These people are his future people and also the labor force that he is indispensable to make a fortune.

What's more, he originally wanted to steal the food from those big families. If Fan Yongdou and others took it away, he would still steal it.

He didn't want to see the food that the Han people had worked hard to grow were transported out of the pass to feed the Jiannu's army.

Jingle and Lan County are both in the north. Just transport the grain from Jingle County out of Ningwu Pass to Datong Prefecture. From Lan County to the north, he can go directly to the outside of the border. He has only a few hundred people under him, so he has no way to run to the north to intercept him.

It seems that I can only come to the dark side, and there are a few that I can stop.

"The big manager wants to take off the firewood from the bottom of the pot?" While thinking, Wang Jizong suddenly asked indifferently.

"Yes." Qin Chuan nodded, "Since those gangsters want to lose our households, we can only play tricks with them."

Wang Jizong also nodded: "This is the only way to use one's own strengths to attack others' weaknesses."

"But the boss needs to be more careful. Those wealthy families have private families and train local guards to train local tyrants, especially those in Lan County, who have worn silk and satin as masters during the day, and those who have been riding swords and guns as horse bandits at night, and those who have raised Yin tribes as bandits. If we want to start a war with open swords and guns, we may not be able to get benefits."

"We can force the big players to submit by kidnapping, plotting, attacking and other means. It is not too late to make a clear sword or a spear when we have no choice."

With a scholarly and elegant style, Wang Jizong seemed to be uncontradictory when he said this.

Qin Chuan felt that this loyal descendant was becoming more and more interested in him.

Wang Jizong also said: "If you want to carry out water conservancy and internal and external affairs, you can hand it over to Jizong. Please feel free to do the important affairs."

"Okay, then I'll have a sir."

Luo Wentian's handsome face, which was already pale and cold sweat broke out.

After receiving the letter from his friend, he was very happy and thought it was just an ordinary wealthy family to ask him to be the shopkeeper. Now, when he heard the conversation between Wang Jizong and Qin Da, why did he become more and more wrong when he listened to it, and the more he felt that he had entered a thief's nest?

Could this manager Qin be the one who is rumored to be the one who is rumored?

If it were a big man, why would Wang Jizong do things for this person?

This is unreasonable. He knows Wang Jizong very well, and he will never surrender even if he is in a downturn.

"Danghong, you guessed it right. The big manager is indeed the big boss in the rumors outside, but there is no need to worry. Brother Wei will definitely not harm you."

Seeing that his face turned pale, Wang Jizong smiled and explained.

"The great manager does not do anything to rob a family, but to establish himself for the people and benefit the people. For my brother, I have decided to follow the great manager, assist the great cause, and do my best to the people of the world."

"If you have any concerns, I will not force you. The big manager is not a petty person. I will give you a gift of money so that you can find another place to settle down."

Luo Wentian opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

After a while, he wiped his cold sweat and smiled stiffly: "Please Rong... Please Rong Wansheng have some thoughts?"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Qin Chuan slapped his thigh and smiled, "Ming Zhao, I still have some trivial matters to be busy with, so I'll have to do it. You can treat Manager Luo well. Hu Dawei left that bag of wine and was in the room downstairs. Take it to drink a few more glasses with Manager Luo, remember to go to the kitchen to cut more meat."

"Thank you, the manager."

Wang Jizong stood up and smiled and said, "Danghong, let's go. You and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We must not be drunk tonight."

"well."

Luo Wentian also stood up, and after thanking Qin Chuan, he followed Wang Jizong downstairs and headed towards the inner courtyard.

Qin Chuan picked up the teacup, drank the bitter tea inside, then frowned and looked towards the north.
