"Master, something is not right! Master, wake up quickly, something happened outside!"

Jiaguyong drank a lot last night, and after returning to his room, he fought with several concubines for several times. When he was suddenly woken up, he felt his head was buzzing.

He had a headache when he heard the noise outside the door. He picked up something and threw it at the door, and then roared: "Shut up, don't disturb my sleep, I can handle the big things!"

The voice outside stopped for a moment, and then continued: "Master, at least 30% of the shops on the street are open today. Our strike plan has failed, and grain stores have opened on the four main streets of southeast, northwest and northwest.

Because no one in the city could buy food for the past day and a half, and now everyone is swarming to their food stores to buy food."

There was a "crash" sound, and the door opened from the inside. Yan Zhanhu stood naked at the door, his face so dark that it seemed like he could drip out ink: "What did you say? Say it again!"

The butler at the door could only repeat: "Sir, our plan to strike has not worked.

Some shops that were closed before have been opened, and more than a dozen new shops were opened in the city overnight. People's daily needs can be bought in these shops, plus the new grain store

is open, now outside...

Master, you'd better go out and take a look quickly."

Jia Guyong was already hungover and exhausted, but when he heard such explosive news early in the morning, he was in a daze and couldn't stand, so he fell straight to the ground.

Fortunately, the butler at the door had quick eyesight and quick hands, which saved him from falling to the ground.

At this time, the concubine in the room came over with a wet handkerchief.

She took the handkerchief and wiped it on Jiaguyong's face several times, finally bringing him back to his senses.

"Quickly, wait for me to wash up. I want to see which bastard dares to mess with me."

Jia Guyong stood up from the butler's arms naked, and walked angrily into the house.

After Jia Guyong packed up and took the anti-alcohol medicine, he walked onto the street and saw a lively scene.

Although there are not many shops open on the main street, one shop out of every two or three is open. Precisely because there are not many shops open, those shops that are open are particularly lively.

The busiest thing on this street is naturally the grain store, where people have already lined up far outside the store.

Jia Guyong walked to the door to take a look and saw a price board at the door with today's price of food written on it.

The price of polished rice and white flour is 3 cents per liter cheaper than in his grain store, and the price of brown rice and aged rice is 1 cent cheaper than in his grain store. The prices of other miscellaneous grains are also cheaper than in his grain store.

In the past, Jia Guyong controlled most of the grain business in Jiangde County. In addition, he was the chief registrar of the county, and the county magistrate also wore a pair of trousers with him. Therefore, the pricing power of grain was completely in his hands.

He can sell whatever he says, and other 0-star small grain stores can only follow his pricing.

But now, there is no obstacle coming from nowhere, and it directly breaks the price he set.

In this way, even if he drives Xie Qingfeng away, he will not have the final say in Jiangde County's grain business in the future.

Thinking of this, he wanted to rush in and smash up this piece of shit "Liu's Food Store".

"Master, calm down!" At the critical moment, the housekeeper quickly grabbed his master again: "Master, there are too many people in this store now. Even if you go in, you may not be able to achieve your goal.

Let’s go home and discuss it over the long term.”

After saying that, he took Jia Guyong and walked outside.

The housekeeper was really afraid that his master would be beaten if he went in and caused trouble.

The people in the county have been suffering from high food prices for a long time, and now that they finally have affordable food, they naturally hope that this shop can continue to operate for a long time.

My master is no longer the chief registrar of County 1. If he really dares to cause trouble on this occasion, he will definitely not escape a beating.

After Jia Guyong was dragged through the grain store, he angrily ordered the housekeeper: "Check the details of this grain store for me, I want to see who dares to go against me.

Find someone to buy out this grain store immediately, I want to see how much stock he has enough for me to buy."

The housekeeper quickly agreed.

At this point, it was unrealistic to use the opportunity of the Dragon Boat Festival to make the people riot. Jia Guyong thought that he had to go back quickly to discuss countermeasures with other merchants to see what the next step should be.

And those merchants who dare to open their doors, just wash their necks and wait!

"Don't miss it if you pass by. Come and see the county government's riddle booth. You can guess the riddles for free. If you guess the riddles, you will get a prize. If you guess 1 lantern riddle, you will get a handkerchief. If you guess 3 lantern riddles, you will get a fine cloth. If you guess 8 lantern riddles, you will get a fine cloth.

Get 1 piece of fine cloth material, guess 20 lantern riddles and get 1 piece of satin material!"

"Look here, look here. There is an archery booth of the county government here. There is a free archery competition. The first place will get a reward of ten taels of silver!"

"Fathers and fellow villagers, come over here and take a look. There is the county government's Touhu stall here..."

Listening to the noise in front, Jia Guyong felt that his head was about to explode. He frowned and asked, "What are those people in front doing?"

The housekeeper didn't expect that there were several ways home, but his master chose this one.

Now that the question had hit his head, he could only reply truthfully: "Sir, those areas are all stalls set up by the county government. It was said that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming soon, so the county magistrate set up some entertainment stalls, and then he

I spent a lot of money to buy a lot of prizes, saying that I want everyone to have a lively Dragon Boat Festival."

After all, Jia Guyong had been a bookkeeper for several years, and he understood Xie Qingfeng's plan with just a little thought.

Although some shops are open today, people don't have much choice. They will complain a little bit in their hearts, but Xie Qingfeng spent his own money to put out all kinds of new gadgets, and everyone doesn't care whether they win or not.

At least they will have fun, and at the same time they will have a good impression of this new county magistrate who thinks about the people.

After such a torment, all their plans would be in vain.

The market strike ended up being lonely.

Looking at the lively crowd in front of him, Jia Guyong 1 threw up his sleeves and walked away.

Not long after Jia Guyong left, Xie Qingfeng led his family to the place where he had stood.

Listening to the shouting, Mrs. Liu felt her heart bleed: "There are twenty stalls like this in one place. Oh my God, how much money will this cost?"

Yes, the first thing Liu thinks of at any time is the cost and how much money he has lost.

It can be said that he is a very qualified financial person.

Lin Yiwan comforted her in a low voice: "Mom, it doesn't cost much. Although Brother Qingfeng has many stalls, no one can win the first prize, and the remaining prizes are worthless!"

Ms. Liu didn't think so: "Yiwan, you gave me a hairpin as a gift during the Chinese New Year last year. At that time, you said it didn't cost much, so I happily wore it.

Then I went to a jewelry store to ask, but the shopkeeper said the hairpin was worth at least 200 taels!

So your lack of money and my lack of money are completely different concepts, and I can’t believe you.”

However, Yiwan took advantage of this opportunity and successfully changed the subject: "Mom, why did you go to clean up the shop and appraise the hairpin I gave you?"
