Chapter 138 Master Jiu!
The exiled prisoners are more silent and cautious than before. They are afraid of accidentally touching someone's brow. After finishing their assigned tasks, they don't even leave the door!
Shen Lanxi takes action!
After entering Dongchuan, there were warehouses for storing charcoal and grain along the road. It happened that there was a warehouse in Sanmen Town where they arrived.
Today, she called Liu Yanhui and several students from Qinglan Academy to go to the warehouse together.
When Liu Yan returned to Cheng Zheng and others, they saw that they were not called Wei Dongzhu or Liu Laohu, but only called them. She thought to herself that this was Shen Lanxi's trust in them.
It also means that what they do cannot be known to outsiders.
The group entered the nearby Ruichang Trading Company in the name of purchasing.
Liu Yanhui and others thought they were going to enter the trading house. Unexpectedly, Shen Lanxi just borrowed the back door of the trading company. After leaving the back door of the trading company, she got into another car.
So mysterious?
Liu Yanhui and the others looked at each other, but no one dared to speak, until the rickety cart took them away from the city gate and to a private house near the city gate.
The people in Guigu are already waiting for Shen Lanxi.
"Master Ninth."
Shen Lanxi nodded and said: "One of our own!"
The people in Guigu understood what it meant and no longer looked at it with vigilant eyes. Liu Yan replied to them.
"Take me to the warehouse to have a look!"
"Yes!"
The people from Guigu led the way and reported to Shen Lanxi: "This warehouse stores Hongluo Thirty thousand jins of charcoal, 60,000 jins of silver wire charcoal, 80,000 jins of black charcoal, twenty carts of loose charcoal, and 50,000 jins of various charcoal..."
Liu Yanhui and others who were following behind were already surprised. I almost forgot to breathe, until my chest hurt, I took a deep breath!
Oh my God!
Why did she save so much?
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the warehouse.
Shen Lanxi looked at the mountains of piles and how every warehouse was full, and nodded with satisfaction.
“Where is the food?”
Humanity in Guigu said: “Store it separately, the food will have to travel for a while!”
The first is safe storage, and the second is cunning rabbits.
Shen Lanxi nodded with satisfaction and let the people from Guigu continue to lead the way.
After a while, we arrived at the warehouse where the grain was stored.
“There is a severe drought in the north this year, and there is basically no surplus of grain from the previous season. Half of the grain is shipped from the south of the Yangtze River, and some is purchased from near Dongchuan.”
Shen Lanxi knows, None of the grain shipped from the north entered Dongchuan. It was too late. Not long after harvesting, Dongchuan was blocked by heavy snow. It would consume too much manpower and material resources to transport it into Dongchuan.
There are three grain depots in total, which are opened in sequence.
"Two thousand jins of millet, one thousand jins of rice, three thousand jins of soybeans, two thousand jins of japonica rice, two thousand jins of all kinds of beans..."
Situation of severe drought in the north Okay, it's not easy to prepare all this.
After checking the quality of the food, Shen Lanxi nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you for your hard work. I will record your names in the book from now on!"
The people in Guigu immediately became happy. They were all disciples outside the valley who were not reused. I have been working on errands all year round, but I am not appreciated by noble people. I will never be able to return to the valley in my life, let alone get in touch with the core.
What Shen Lanxi said was an affirmation and she wanted to support them.
"Thank you, Master Jiu!" Everyone in Guigu happily saluted Shen Lanxi.
Shen Lanxi brought Liu Yanhui and others into the room to discuss matters.
Evidently a charcoal fire had just been lit in the room, and there was a damp and cold air.
Shen Lanxi frowned and said to the disciples of Guigu: "We can't freeze ourselves to death guarding the Jinshan Mountain. Pass on my words, open the charcoal fire and use it, and eat the food as you like."
The disciples of Guigu were moved, respectfully thanked them, and then went to pass on the message. .
"I brought you here today, firstly, to show you my wealth. Secondly, to turn these things into cash!"
Liu Yanhui understood why he was called here. He is the accountant. Sir!
When he thought of the word Mr. Accountant, he felt a little embarrassed. Before, he thought he was in charge of Shen Lanxi's private accounts, well~
Now they are also private accounts, but isn't this too big?
Shen Lanxi put one hand on the table and tapped it with a calm expression.
"Tell me what you think!"
Liu Yan returned to her thoughts and said, "How to sell it and how much to earn? What is the price of grain and charcoal in Dongchuan and other places? I suggest Learn more about these before taking action!”
Cheng Zheng wrote: "The local business is a local snake!"
Sang Guo: "Hoarding in a strange place can defeat the local snake!"
Other students wrote: "Stand still, know yourself and the enemy, stand firm, The right time and the right place!”
Shen Lanxi read them one by one and got to the point.
"I will stay here for ten days. During these ten days, you can use the things in the grain and charcoal warehouses to practice!"
Liu Yan returned to Cheng Zheng and others who were so shocked that they forgot breathe.
That is a life-saving thing!
Let them practice, you are asking them to practice at the risk of their lives!
"What you saw here is not allowed to be told outside, and your family members are not allowed to tell it. If you let me know and you spread it..." The cold eyes swept over them, and the people who were swept away , it all feels like walking around the Hall of Hell.
"Don't worry, my lord, we will never spread the word. If it spreads, my family members will die without their whole bodies, and their bodies will be exposed in the wilderness after death!"
Cheng Zheng and others nodded quickly!
Shen Lanxi: "If you want to know anything, you can ask it yourself, or you can ask people here. You can tell them whatever you want."
Liu Yan replied: "I want to know How many businesses are there in the area, their origins, and some information from the government and some local forces."
Shen Lanxi: "Okay!"
Liu Yan went back to ask.
Cheng Zheng looked at the paper with only a few words written on it, and an ink dot dropped on one of the words.
Three things were placed in front of him.
Cheng Zheng raised his head in confusion.
Shen Lanxi picked up the pencil knife and sharpened it in a few strokes. After a few strokes, he wrote Cheng Zheng's name on the paper, and then handed the paper to Cheng Zheng.
What is this?
Shen Lanxi: "This is a pencil. It's easy to carry, no need to ink, and saves time!"
She picked up the eraser again and erased Cheng Zheng's name in front of several people.
"If you write too much, erase it with an eraser to save paper!"
As soon as Cheng Zheng was about to take the pen, Sang Guo grabbed it from the side.
Sang Guo thought about the way Shen Lanxi held the pen just now. Although it was a bit awkward, he still wrote the name quickly.
There was no ink dip in the middle.
How amazing!
He wrote another line, this time without pausing, and finished it in a few strokes.
It actually saves half the time compared to writing with a brush. If you write more words and take a longer time to write, you may save even more time.
After all, there is no need to sharpen ink on pencils, and the time spent on sharpening ink is also saved.
Sang Guo had a look of surprise on his face, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
The corners of Cheng Zheng's mouth couldn't help but rise, and he quickly took the pencil over to experiment.
It’s really easy to use and easy to carry.
He was holding the pen tip just now, but it didn’t get any ink on it, so he could save time on washing the pen!
With this magical thing, can they compete with other people with good tongues?
God knows how big a blow it will be to them after every meeting!
