Chapter 1245 Businessman’s Logic
“Everyone, please hurry up, we won’t send you off, and we will have to post official documents on the order of the county magistrate.”
The two officers made everyone dizzy. The grain merchants were sent outside the county government office, and they were separated. One was carrying a paste bucket, and the other was holding a stack of official documents stamped with the magistrate's seal.
"You are busy, you are busy...don't worry about us."
When the grain merchants walked out of the county government office, they felt dizzy, as if they had drunk two kilograms.
The two officers first posted an official document outside the county government office wall, and then went to other places to post it.
"From today onwards, every stone of grain in Jingnan County will be 2,500 yuan..."
A group of grain merchants stood in front of the official document that had just been posted, looking at the black and white words on it and The bright red seal of the magistrate, until this moment, they could no longer believe it, but they were finally sure that it was true.
"The county...the county official really defined the price of grain in Jingnan as one stone of grain and two thousand five hundred yuan!"
A grain merchant could not control his inner ecstasy, and stretched out his hand to speak word by word. Touching it, sniffing greedily, sniffing the ink fragrance vigorously, and then jumped up happily!
"Look at how you look like a bear..."
The other grain merchants sneered, but they were not much better, grinning like a flower.
“Other places have vigorously suppressed food prices and severely punished grain dealers like us. Once they were found to be driving up food prices, they would be jailed, their homes confiscated, and their homes sent to the army, or they would be beheaded on the spot, using thunderous means to control food prices. Why did our county magistrate not only not suppress the price of grain, but also do this?" A grain merchant said to everyone in confusion after he was overjoyed.
"What, you want the county magistrate to chop off our heads?!" Several grain merchants suddenly gave him a blank look.
"No, I just can't figure it out..." The grain merchant shrank his neck angrily and said with a smile.
"Actually, I'm confused now and can't figure it out..." Shopkeeper Lu scratched his head.
Suddenly several grain merchants expressed their agreement, but they really couldn’t understand.
"Ahem, this is not the place to talk. Can you please go to my house for a casual meal?" Shopkeeper Yang of Jingnan's largest grain merchant, Yang Ji Grain Co., coughed, attracting everyone. Attention, then stroking his gray beard, he spoke meaningfully to everyone.
“It’s my wish, but I dare not ask for your ear.” All the grain merchants clasped their fists and said, no one responded.
Suddenly, a group of grain merchants surrounded Shopkeeper Yang, laughing all the way to Shopkeeper Yang's house.
Soon, several banquet tables were set up in Shopkeeper Yang's house, and a group of grain merchants were seated separately.
In Shopkeeper Yang’s house, all the grain merchants had nothing to worry about.
"Shopkeeper Yang, just now you said that the county government is not a place for talking, so there is no scruples in your house. When other places are strictly controlling food prices, why did our county chief issue an official document to rigidly define Jingnan The price of grain is 2,500 yuan per stone? This is what the county official said. We are naturally very happy, but we are really confused and are afraid of ruining this good situation. You, the boss, are well-informed and are a famous Zhuge in our county. Have you guessed something? Please help me. Wait for the confusion to clear up." At the wine table, a grain merchant stood up and asked for advice.
"Yes, Shopkeeper Yang. The county official has set the price of grain at 2,500 yuan per stone in an official document. Naturally, we are very happy. However, we are really confused and are afraid of ruining this good situation."
Many grain merchants followed suit.
"When something unusual happens, there must be a reason for it." Shopkeeper Yang said while stroking his beard and squinting his eyes.
"Please give me some advice from shopkeeper Yang." All the grain merchants said with fists in their hands.
"You guys are serious, giving me advice is out of the question. This is just my conjecture. I'll just talk about it for now. You guys just listen, don't talk to outsiders." Shopkeeper Yang waved his hand and said.
“Don’t worry, Shopkeeper Yang, we are not the ones who talk nonsense. It can come out of your mouth and into our ears. Apart from us here, there will be no third party. People know it.”
All the grain merchants expressed their stance.
"Do you still remember the official position of the county magistrate?" Shopkeeper Yang narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully.
"The official position of the county magistrate? Isn't the county magistrate the county magistrate of Jingnan... No, no, I almost forgot. The county magistrate is already the magistrate of Jingnan County, Zhejiang Province."
After all the grain merchants blurted out, they remembered that Zhu Ping'an had been promoted for his role in fighting the Japanese.
“Si Qianshi, the official prosecutor of Zhejiang and the magistrate of Jingnan... Do you understand?! Our county magistrate is actually the fifth-rank Zhejiang official, Si Qianshi, the official prosecutor of Zhejiang, just because of Jingnan. Don't be ignorant of the county for a day. Only then can you temporarily become a seventh-level Jingnan magistrate. It's just a county. As soon as the new magistrate takes office, our county official will take office as the prosecutor of Zhejiang Province. Our small pond in Jingnan is just a temporary resting place for him. "
Yang. The shopkeeper stroked his beard and said to everyone meaningfully.
There are no businessmen who are not eight Linglong. When shopkeeper Yang said this, all the grain merchants understood.
"The County Lord is already on the blue clouds. Even if my small pond in Jingnan is flooded, it will have no impact on the County Lord. Besides, before the flood, the County Lord has already mobilized the entire county to prevent floods. , It is also because of the county's foresight that no one in Jingnan was killed in this flood. With this great contribution, the county has been in an invincible position in this flood."
Shopkeeper Yang said slowly.
After hearing this, all the grain merchants nodded. Yes, the county magistrate had already been promoted. Precautions were taken before the flood, so that no one in Jingnan was harmed. This is already a great achievement. . Therefore, the county magistrate dared to define the price of food in Jingnan as two thousand five hundred yuan per stone.
"Mr. Yang, what you are saying is that it is just the county official who is like this. It is not helpful for disaster relief. What good is it for him?"
A grain merchant asked doubtfully.
"Benefits?! Haha, the benefits should be on us." Yang Laoguan said with a smile.
“What do you mean?” The grain merchant was puzzled.
There was no need for Mr. Yang to answer. The grain merchant next to him rushed to answer and sneered, "You are stupid. Mr. Yang has made it so clear. You still don't understand?! The county official sets the price of grain. For 2,500 yuan per stone, this huge benefit will be given to us, we will Shouldn't you express your gratitude to the county magistrate? Don't you understand the principle of reciprocating favors? "
"What? Name, that’s not the case.”
The grain merchant suddenly understood, but then shook his head, expressing doubts about this conclusion.
“If you know people and know their faces, you can’t be ignorant of their hearts. Shopkeeper Zhang, how do you know that the county magistrate is not like this?! Besides, Shopkeeper Zhang, you are still a well-known good person in your town. What’s the actual situation? You don’t have any idea. It’s hard to count, do you need us to dismantle it for you piece by piece?”
There was a person next to him who knew shopkeeper Zhang’s background. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but sneered and said to him.
Suddenly, Shopkeeper Zhang’s face turned red and he stopped talking.
“Before the county magistrate was promoted, he naturally cherished his feathers and whitewashed his reputation. Now that the county magistrate has been promoted to Zhejiang’s Senting and Procuratorate, Si Qianshi, why are you still trying to disguise yourself in a small place like Jingnan?! If you want to pretend, you have to go to Zhejiang to remind you to take office, and then try hard to pretend! If your official career is prosperous, you must not manage things up and down. These all cost money. Our county magistrate is already a fifth-rank official at a young age. He is not a man of the pool at first glance, and he will definitely not be satisfied with the punishment of a fifth-rank official. Qian Shi, I definitely want to move up the ranks and be transferred to the capital, which all costs money!”
"That is, everything in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and the county magistrate is no exception!"
"Promotion will make you rich, promotion will make you rich. The county magistrate has been promoted, so he will naturally get rich."
All the grain merchants nodded in agreement. (End of this chapter)
