Chapter 240: Storm! Go to sea!
6 min read1,598 words
The people who were swept by the storm of the New Deal began to take action
one after another. Those who bought chickens bought chickens, those who looked
for boats were looking for boats. The streets were crowded with people, so it
was so lively.
"Boss, do you still have chicken fry here? What? Nothing? It's been less than
an hour since the market opened, why is it gone?"
In Dongshi, a man in a gray undershirt was yelling with a vendor selling
chicken fry.
"Boss, hey, don't go, I will take it for how much you have leftover chicken
fry!"
"What? One hundred text? Why don't you grab it? Wasn't it eighty text a while
ago?"
"If you love to buy or not, if you don't buy it now, it will be more expensive
in the future!"
Before, the Li and Cheng family bought chicken fry on a large scale. They once
pushed up the price of chicken fry from sixty to seventy liters to one hundred
and twenty-five wen. Later, after Wang Renyi shipped 80,000 chicken fry from
the south, Li The Cheng family stopped buying chicken fry, and the chicken fry
market in Chang'an finally returned to calm. The price of chicken fry
gradually dropped from the original one hundred and twenty-five wen to
seventy-eighty wen.
Now that the imperial court has introduced a policy of reducing taxes for
raising chickens, the people rushed to rush Qi Miao, and many chicken vendors’
stocks were quickly sold out. After the rest of the chicken vendors were
relieved, they quickly organized manpower to purchase goods from other places
while pulling up. Raising the price of chicken seedlings is intended to make a
fortune.
"Hey, you mortals! What a pity!"
Mei Jun, who came to Chang'an to go to the market today, looked at the dealer
who was snapping up chicken fry in front of him, and exclaimed with a superior
look.
Since Meicun was divided into Li Zexuan’s fiefdom, he only needed to pay the
rent to Li Zexuan, the big landlord every year, and Li Zexuan had already
introduced a policy of reducing rents for raising chickens, so this policy of
the court had no effect on them. Naturally, there is no need to rush to buy
chicken fry with others.
"Mei Dazui, what are you doing here? Why don't you grab a spot to sell eggs?
Be careful to go back and your mother-in-law will not forgive you!"
It was a thin hand that suddenly patted Mei Jun's shoulder, and then there was
a slightly teasing voice from Liu Erye.
Compared with a few months ago, Liu Erye looks more energetic. Maybe the
elderly will be more energetic once they have something to do.
"Liu Erye, why are you kidding me again?"
Mei Jun turned and grinned.
"Mei Dazui, why are so many people buying chicken fry today?"
"I just heard from others that it seems that the imperial court has issued a
decree today to encourage the people to raise chickens. One hundred chickens
can be taxed 10% off."
"Haha, there is such a good thing? But we have already enjoyed this treatment
in Meicun, and it's free chicken fry, haha!"
Liu Erye smiled triumphantly, but the words were too hateful, and the man next
to him immediately stared and said:
"What are you talking about? Your village has already had this treatment? And
the chicken fry is still free?"
"Haha, this can lie to you, thanks to Lord Li Jue!"
………………………
"Wang Furen, why is your boat still at the dock? Why don't you go to the
Ministry of War to report?"
"Why do you want to report?"
"Did you not read today's newspaper? The imperial court will send troops to
** the fleet south to exchange food. The food in the south is cheap, and the
spices are also cheap. We took silk and porcelain to follow the imperial army
to a small country in Southeast Asia to purchase goods. Can make a lot of
money!"
"Really, but what if this newspaper is deceptive?"
"Confused! Don't look at who runs this newspaper. Li Jue's wealth will lie to
you? How much are you worth?"
"Then brother, wait for me. There are ten big ships in my house. Let's go to
Nanyang with the imperial army to have a sip of soup!"
There is definitely more than one such dialogue in Chang'an City today. The
sense of smell of businessmen is often the most keen, and the capital market
has always been a three-layer wave of no fashion. Now, with this decree of the
court, how can it not set off a huge wave?
Guiyifang.
Meng Wenhao's home.
"Father, why did you come back so early today?"
Meng Wenhao took a break today and was teaching a little girl at home to
write. Suddenly the courtyard door was pushed open. A thin and dark middle-
aged man came in. He was not tall and not strong, but he was the one who was
crushed. The slightly curved spine seemed to be full of infinite strength, as
if it could hold up a sky. His gray clothes were covered with mud and sand,
and he couldn't tell whether he was wearing clothes or sand. Hearing the
sound, Meng Wenhao looked up and saw that it was his father. He patted the
little ** the head, hurriedly greeted him, and said with joy.
"Well, Bashang didn't have much work today. I came back early after I finished
it for my father! Haoer, are you still teaching Yaya to write?"
The middle-aged man took off his shirt full of mud and sand, exposing his
dark, thin but very strong-looking chest, and said with a smile to his most
proud son.
"Well, dad, Yaya has learned a lot of characters recently! I also taught Yaya
the pinyin invented by our husband. In the future, Yaya may know more words
than some rich kids!"
Meng Wenhao rarely showed a child's innocent expression and asked his father
for credit.
Of course Father Meng didn’t know what Pinyin was, but he knew that his son
was very good at reading, and what he said definitely made sense. He smiled
and washed his hands by the well, and said “um” to Meng Wenhao. The girl also
ran out, "chuckling" and said with a smile: "Daddy, Daddy, are you back?"
The middle-aged man wiped his face and saw that he didn't know where he
changed into a sugar man wrapped in paper. Then he squatted down, squinted and
smiled at his daughter: "Come on, ya ya, this Dad bought it for you, hurry up
and eat it, don’t tell your mother~!"
Yaya's slightly yellowed, malnourished face suddenly resembled a small
blooming flower, so brilliant that the sun was eclipsed by the sun, as if she
was the most beautiful angel in the world, the little girl opened her ruddy
mouth, showing her little rabbit teeth. "Chuck" smiled, as crisp and sweet as
a silver bell, "Ah~! It's a sugar man, daddy is so good!"
Yaya happily took the sugar man in Father Meng's hand, opened the oil paper
outside, and looked at the cute and lifelike little man pinched. The little
girl hesitated for a moment, then handed it back, and said crisply, "Daddy
earns money. To support the family, Daddy is the hardest. Daddy eats first!"
Father Meng looked at his daughter's innocent but persistent little face. He
couldn't help but feel a sore nose. He sent the sugar man to his daughter's
mouth again~www.mtlnovel.com~ grinned and said: "Father is tired of eating a
long time ago. Yes, eat it!"
"Huh! Daddy is a lie! You said that before, but you have never eaten it! Daddy
doesn't eat it, Yaya doesn't eat it!"
The little girl seems to have learned to be smart recently, and she is not
fooled at all.
"Good, good, then dad eat some."
Father Meng had no choice but to gently knock a corner of the sugar man. The
faint sweetness in his mouth could not wash away the bitterness in his heart.
Suddenly he thought of something again. For a while, he looked at his daughter
Wuwei Chen Za .
"My brother also has a hard time going to school every day, and my brother has
to eat first!"
Yaya saw that her father had really eaten it, and immediately sent the sugar
man to Meng Wenhao's side happily.
With lessons learned from the past, Meng Wenhao did not evade. He also lightly
bit off a corner, then patted the little sister's croissant braid, and said
with a smile: "Okay, I have eaten my brother too, ya go and play elsewhere!"
"Hmm!"
"Father, did something happen?"
Meng Wenhao saw that Yaya had gone away, then he looked at his worried father
and asked.
Father Meng looked suffocated and hurriedly said: "No, nothing!"
"Father, there must be something, can you still hide it from the child? If you
have something to say, let's find a way together!"
Father Meng thought for a while and hesitated: "Hao'er, I may have to go to
the far gate in a few days for my father, maybe two or three months..."
"Father, where are you going?"
Meng Wenhao asked anxiously.
"Go...Go overseas!"
Father Meng hesitated and finally confided the truth, but these words were
like a bolt from the blue, and the bombed Meng Wenhao was stunned!
