Chapter 449 Master Qin

The shopkeeper quickly bent down and replied, "It's true, it's true. Moreover, there are more than one truck of grain. The villain sent someone to watch and count them. There are about ten trucks, each truck that specializes in transporting goods and is full of loads. I'm afraid the Wen family will gain a lot this time!"

"So much food?" The master frowned a little deeper and said to himself, "No, the food that should be sold nearby has been bought long ago, and it is impossible for those small towns in remote areas to take out so much food at once. Where did the girl from the Wen family buy it back?"

"This... the villain doesn't know. However, the villain has sent someone to the Wen family to find out the news. I believe that it will be possible to know the source of the food in a short while."

The master pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay, just such a little food cannot affect the overall situation. We should still make money. If the Wen family is a little smart, at most, it will only make some money by selling grain at a high price. My Wang family doesn't mind throwing some leftovers for them to taste the taste of the Wen family."

"But if Wen Gonghu wanted to reversal the current famine in Peishan with this little grain, it would be a fool! I am afraid that if he paid the entire Wen family, he would not be able to afford so much food, and it would be impossible to sell so much food to them!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you said, it's a little worrying!" The shopkeeper quickly flattered and flattered.

The master took another sip of tea, looked leisurely and calm, and gently tapped the table with his knuckles, and whispered: "Okay, we don't have to keep an eye on the actions of the Wen family these two days. It's better to spend more time managing the relationship with Lord Qin. Did you collect the money you sent yesterday?"

The Lord Qin they mentioned was the imperial envoy sent by the court to provide disaster relief this time, and was in charge of the food for disaster relief.

"Go back to Master, Lord Qin has not... confiscated..." The shopkeeper's face was slightly scared.

"Confiscated?" The answer was somewhat unexpected. The master's eyes froze and he asked quietly, "What did the sir?"

"Mr. Qin said that there is no need to be too polite for these small money. If you have time, you should ask Master, you and Wen Gonghu to come to chat and talk with each other." The shopkeeper did not dare to hide anything and answered truthfully.

"This greedy old fox!" The master's face darkened and cursed in a low voice. After thinking for a while, he immediately felt a little painful in his face and sighed, "Well, later today, you will take the double of the silver you had yesterday. If you don't collect it, you will give it three times tomorrow until he collects it!"

Although Lord Qin was kind to the point, he was obviously dissatisfied with the amount of filial piety to him, and even suggested that he wanted to contact the Wen family and hit him with the Wang family, which he would never want to see.

Of course, in order to keep this business, he could only cede and respect the adult after selling the disaster relief grain.

Only by letting Lord Qin always hand over this business to them can we get more profits.

"Oh... the wool comes from the sheep. I will raise the price of grain tomorrow!" The master said casually without raising his eyelids.

The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, and he whispered in a low voice: "This... Master, the price of grain we sell now is twenty times the price on weekdays. If you have to raise it again..."

The master seemed a little dissatisfied with his attitude, slapped the teacup on the table, scolding: "What? My Wang family took out the grain and sold it to those poor people who had no food. What's wrong with collecting some money? If you can't afford it, don't eat it. At worst, you will starve to death! In this world, are you afraid that no one can buy food?"

"If you, the shopkeeper, don't want to do it anymore, just tell me, there are more people who want to do it!"

"No, no, master, I just said casually, I will raise the price tomorrow!" The shopkeeper was so scared that he trembled all over and said with a hurry to express his loyalty.

Now he can only feed the family with the identity of this shopkeeper. If he loses this job, he will probably become like those poor people on the street. He doesn't want his children to be so hungry...

Anyway, if you die, I will not die. It’s enough that my family can live well.

The master nodded slightly and was about to get up when he suddenly remembered something again and asked, "By the way, have the food in our warehouse been stolen again these days?"

"By the master, the young man has sent several people to guard the warehouse day and night, but the little thief always comes and goes without a trace, so he still... lost a little..." The shopkeeper replied nervously.

In fact, this point is several times more than the previous point, but he dare not say it explicitly, for fear of being blamed for being unfavorable and losing his job.

"Damn it, where did the thief come from? He only steals the food of my Wang family!" The master looked a little gloomy and cursed angrily, "When you go to Lord Qin's place today, go and ask him to send two masters from the court to stare at the warehouse. I want to see, under this net of heaven and earth, is this guy really a ghost who can pass through the wall like a ghost?"

The Wang family's granary began to experience food reduction in some information a few months ago. At first, the amount was relatively small, and I thought it was just stolen and eaten by mice, so I didn't care. At most, I just caught a few cats to catch mice.

But later, the amount of stolen was increasing. In recent days, even a bucket of rice had to be emptyed in one night. This is definitely a thief from somewhere that came to attack!

But what is confusing is that after they discovered the abnormality, they immediately increased their vigilance, so that there were people guarding the entire granary, whether it was the door or window, and there were many people patrolling the granary at all times. It can be said that even flies could not fly in.

However, the food is still gradually decreasing. Often, the inspectors just turn around and lose another bucket of food, which is simply a bit incredible!

If this continues, although the amount is not large each time, it is indeed a hidden danger to accumulate small amounts and become more...

"We must find a way to solve this weird little thief!"

...

The Wen family was naturally unaware of the Wang family's thief. At this moment, the Wen family was hurrying to prepare for the first food distribution activity tomorrow.

Now that Wen Gonghu has made a decision, everything must be prepared, including how to preach the name of "Yuyuan Fairy" to the people who received the food.

Oral publicity is naturally necessary. Although I don’t know anything about the deeds of this fairy Yuyuan, and even know only a name and roughly calculated based on the statue, it does not prevent them from thinking and slowly imagining.

Especially the gift of endless food is already the most respectable miracle. Even if this alone is enough to make the poor people who are suffering from hunger believe in this fairy.

Of course, there are also supporting auxiliary means.
