?Xiyang County Duke Mansion, Yuwen Wen was talking to Wang Yue in the study. A few days ago, he created a "cultural platform, economic performance" to make his store famous, and at the same time, it attracted wealthy merchants from all walks of life to contact Wang Yue and Wang's shopkeeper to buy the "white turtle" glass mirror.

The 100-yuan glass mirror outside is just a product worth tens of thousands of yuan for Yuwen Wen. It is more cost-effective to use these treasures to solve the debts of the state soldiers and give those who are loan sharks a step. If the charity sale progresses smoothly, there will be money to rectify the city appearance.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I have ordered Chief Zhang to strengthen the escort of the store. You should be more careful when you go out. Yuwen Wen took a sip of tea and said that Wang Yue is now the big shopkeeper in charge of business under his command. His claim to be "I" in front of his mansion is still "I".

Liu Caiyun is pregnant. Because her husband Zhang Dingfa was not easy to get, he also considered the worries of her husband Zhang Dingfa, so Yuwen Wen asked Liu Caiyun to take care of his servants in the mansion and no longer go out to run around to deal with the business. A newly bought street property in Xiyang City made Wang Yue manage it and make it into a store to start trading one of the important products, which is the Glass Mirror.

"Monday, as of today, there are ten companies that have registered to bid for this mirror. As for the small mirror, they are interested in purchasing goods." Wang Yue reported to him about the progress of the 'charity sale'. This was his first big deal after taking over the burden, even though he was already a veteran in the mall, he was a little nervous.

The store is quite large. There is a store in front, a warehouse, a yard for entertaining merchants, and even a restaurant nearby that can order wine and food so that Manager Wang can have social activities without leaving home. There is a house next to it, and the outer courtyard can be used for the servants. The guards are all living in the inner courtyard, which is left for him and his wife to live as home.

Wang Yue and his wife were at the end of their journey, thanks to the rescue of the Xiyang County Duke of Zhou State and were entrusted with important tasks. It was a bit restless to take over such a large amount of money at once.

Seeing Wang Yue's entangled expression, Yuwen Wen asked him what he was worried about. Wang Yue thought for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "Monday, as the saying goes, wealth is not revealed. Now everyone knows that there is a glass mirror for sale in the store in the mansion. This place is not Anlu and is on the edge of the Yangtze River. We have to be more careful."

Wang Yue is under the charge of Xiyang County Duke's business and needs to remind the other party about safety. However, some things he has come into contact with on weekdays make him feel that it is a bit abnormal.

"It is natural to be careful. Manager Wang seems to have something in his words?"

"It is. Since the county duke moved to this city, prices have risen a bit abnormal. I think it is the local snake that has started to raise prices."

At the beginning of this year, Yuwen Wen decided to renovate his mansion in Xiyang City and sent people from his home to the site as a supervisor. At the same time, he also gave these people a task: record prices.

After moving here, Yuwen Wen ordered someone to copy the recorded prices for the seven or eight months to Wang Yue, who succeeded Liu Caiyun, to be responsible for the transaction. The original meaning was to facilitate him to judge the market conditions and do business, but Wang Yue found that someone maliciously raised the price.

Normally, Yuwen Wen brought 3,000 people to Xiyang City, which has a population of about 30,000. The increasing demand for chicken, duck, fish, meat, etc. purchased daily will inevitably lead to rising prices, but the increase will also be a certain degree, but the current increase is obviously problematic.

Wang Yue began to speak with facts: the price of a cow, the price on weekdays is thirty cents, and now it has risen to 40 cents. The increase has reached 30%. The price of a rooster is five cents, a hen is four cents, and a chick is four cents, but now it has risen by two cents.

Pigs that have been raised for two years were sold for about 500 to 600 yuan, but now it is nearly 1,000 yuan. The price of fish varies according to the type, but it is more than 30% more expensive than usual.

"What if ordinary people go to buy it?" Yuwen Wen asked. He also heard the people in charge of buying in the army that buying things in Xiyang City seemed to be getting more and more expensive. Now he wants to know if someone is specifically targeting his mansion or the new army to raise prices.

"The guy in the Xiapai store hid his identity and went to buy it, and it wasn't much different."

"What does Manager Wang mean?"

"Monday, have you ever heard of fisherman, meatman, and vegetable tyrant?"

Yuwen Wen understood after hearing the other party's words: the vegetable dealer saw that he was a rich sucker and started to raise prices! This problem can be big or small. His new army has a large amount of training every day, so there must be some meat anyway. If the price rises too much, the more people he has, the more expenses he will increase.

But this is not the point. What should the people in Xiyang City do?

He can say that the money can support it, but the income of the people is low. The first thing that cannot withstand the price rise is the common people. Now the rice price is normal because it is the top priority. The inconspicuous price of non-staple foods supported by the Zhoukuan will still kill people.

"Who is acting like this?"

"I've sent someone to inquire about some information..." Wang Yue said the names of several people, all of whom were local snakes in the city of Xiyang. Although I don't know who the boss behind the scenes is, I can't leave that range.

"Ghosts and monsters!" Yuwen Wen snorted. Seeing that he was a little dissatisfied, Wang Yue explained that the people around him could not afford to sell these local snakes by picking their own productions to the city. If you want to sell them cheaply, you have to sell them at the price set by the vegetable tyrant. Without the vegetable tyrant's permission, you cannot even enter the market.

Not only that. It wouldn't be fine if anyone dared to pick things up and go directly to Lifang to hawk the market or set up stalls outside the market. At least the things that were beaten up were broken and the hands and feet were broken.

"They probably found some rascals or even beggars to do something. If something goes wrong, the government won't find them, right?" Yuwen Wen is not unfamiliar with this routine. Even in later generations, vegetable tyrants often monopolize the market, and the means used are those.

Wang Yue nodded and said yes. When he saw Yuwen Wen's words, he wanted to cut the mess quickly and clear these vegetable bullies. He pondered for a moment and advised him: "Mr. Duke, I'm brave enough to clean up the market. Please think twice about the matter of cleaning up the market."

"Is Manager Wang afraid that the people behind the scenes are too resentful and waiting for an opportunity to stab him?" Yuwen Wen asked, and Wang Yue expressed his concerns: Yuwen Wen took office and took drastic measures to eliminate the accumulated problems. This is a good thing, but those who have suffered losses may not be willing to give up.

He has been to many prefectures and counties in Chen State for many years and has heard of the newly appointed local officials who violated the interests of local tyrants and caused them to lose their posts and even be dismissed. As a subordinate of Yuwen Wen, Wang Yue felt that no matter how rude he was, he would have to fulfill his obligation to remind him.

"As the saying goes, it is easy to avoid hidden arrows, but the county dukes are willing to rectify the state affairs. They are reluctant to do so. When something happens, the county dukes have no time to take care of it, maybe it is time for the other party to take action." Wang Yue's face was solemn, "Don't force it too tightly."

"It's right, our guild has found a way to deal with it." Yuwen Wen nodded, and he looked at the shadow of the tree outside the window and said, "As the saying goes, the stronger the sunlight, the darker the shadow..."
