The food supplies started to be sold out a few days ago. Ning Changrong has not moved. He just wants these people to learn a lesson. Some advantages are not so easy to take advantage of.

After the yamen officer reported the matter, he nodded, "I understand. Send more people to the city to maintain law and order."

The yamen servant touched the back of his head and exited.

After sitting for a while and processing some official documents, Ning Changrong stood up, stretched, walked out of the public room, and said to Ning Daniu beside him, "Let's go and have a look."

Ning Daniu followed, and the two walked towards the city together.

"Do you want to see those grain stores?"

Ning Changrong nodded.

It didn't take long for them to arrive, but before they even got close, they heard a noise in front of them.

"What? Why has the price gone up again?! Didn't he just buy [-] grams of rice? How come I only have [-] grams?!" A commoner pointed angrily at the person in front of him who was queuing up to buy food, and rushed to the person in front of him. Dude complained.

The waiter rolled his eyes and said, "Who told you to queue up late? If you queue up late, you will suffer a loss. If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, get out. That's the price."

The person who bought it earlier thought that the grain he bought was a bit expensive. Now that he saw that others were buying grain that was more expensive than what he bought, he felt more balanced.

The common man gritted his teeth and stared at the clerk in front of him with red eyes. The clerk felt a little guilty because of his glare and cursed: "What are you looking at? If you look at me, I will give you a cheaper price? Believe it or not, I will raise the price right away." Go up? Do you want to buy it?"

The common man clenched his fist, then released it, and forced a smile, "Buy, buy, buy." With a pained expression, he handed over the money from the money bag, took the grain from the other person's hand, weighed it with his hands, and found that there was no shortage. Two, then I gave up.

As I walked, I cursed in my mind. Why did I take advantage of it in the first place?Otherwise, I wouldn’t suffer such a big loss now!
Most of the people who came to buy food in a hurry had sold their own food. Now that there is no supply, they have to pay high prices to buy food and go home. It can be said that they not only spent all the money they earned, but even lost money to their families. Quite a few.

The clerk at Wang's Grain Store looked at the way the other person was weighing the weight, and secretly rolled his eyes. They wouldn't do it if they were short of weight. It wasn't that they wouldn't do it, but that they couldn't do it. If they did, the county government would definitely intervene. When the time comes to seize their leverage and ask them to lower the price of food, the gain will outweigh the loss.

"Next one," the grain store clerk said lazily.

In this way, everyone endured the pain, broke their teeth, swallowed it in their stomachs, and bought the grain back at a higher price than when they sold it.

An hour later, the price of food rose again. Ning Changrong looked at it from beginning to end. When he left, the price of food had risen to 130 yuan.

Ning Daniu curled his lips and complained on the road, "I think they deserve it. They are just trying to make some money that they shouldn't."

The people who lived in their area were all Ning Changrong's fellow villagers, and no one dared to come to buy grain from them. However, they also heard a lot of news from their neighbors. The price of buying grain was getting higher and higher, from [-] yuan to [-] yuan. The money was seventy yuan, and many people even sold their own food rations.

"People just can't control their greed." Ning Changrong said with emotion, "I hope they can learn some lessons after this time."

……

The backyard of Wang's grain store.

"My boss, just as you planned, everyone in the city except ours is out of food now! They have to buy whatever food price we set!" the food shop owner said proudly.

"This group of short-sighted and stupid people don't even think about why we spend so much money to buy their food. They even sold their own rations. They deserve to starve to death, hahaha."

The boss smiled and said, "Okay, good job, I will ask the boss to take credit for you."

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, "I'm here, thank you so much, boss." The boss asked, "The county government didn't give you any trouble? Then Ning Changrong didn't send anyone to ask?"

The shopkeeper said, "The county government didn't send anyone to look for the small ones, but there were a lot of government servants around here, but they all came to help maintain law and order. We do business seriously and clearly mark the prices. They can buy what they like. They pulled them down if they didn't buy them, and they didn't force them. Even if the county government knew about it, what could they do to us? Now all the food is in our hands. If we are offended, the people in the city will not be able to eat. "

"I always feel like something is wrong. This Ning Changrong loves to meddle in other people's business. He even demands how high the price of our food should be. Now, although we don't want his bullshit tax benefits, there is no way he will not ask questions at all. "

The boss frowned.

No one was in charge of the grain road. Originally, according to their thinking, if Ning Changrong found out there was a problem there and sent people to deal with it, they would retreat a little. Anyway, the grain road was so long, and they would retreat if someone took a step. In one step, food can be stopped from entering the city without confronting them.

But the problem now is that no one is taking care of the grain channels. Ning Changrong doesn't care about the increase in grain prices, and he hasn't heard any news about where they are getting the grain from.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "My boss is worrying too much. Maybe Ning Changrong didn't come here because he couldn't do anything to us. They made the rules. Now we haven't violated any rules. What will happen if he comes here? We don't listen. , isn’t this a loss of face for nothing?”

"He still has to support us now. If he offends us, let's close the grain store. Soon, the city will be in chaos."

When the shopkeeper talked about closing the shop, the owner gave him a meaningful look.

"Okay, since there's nothing wrong, you can go back and continue looking at the shop."

The shopkeeper smiled and bowed down.

When no one was around, the boss shook his head and fanned his feather fan, "That's it, there's no point in thinking about it too much, as long as the plan is OK."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pigeon suddenly flew down into the courtyard. The owner walked in and took out the note on the pigeon's leg and saw what was written on it.

[Closing in ten days] Below is the specific time for the carrier pigeons to depart.

Calculating the time, ten days later, it is actually eight days later, two days have passed.

After the note was taken away, the pigeons flew up.

The owner returned to the room and wrote a few notes and placed them on the legs of the pigeons kept in the yard, and the pigeons were released one after another.

Returning to his room, he began to pack his luggage, taking away what he could and burning everything that could not be seen.

"The grain store should only be able to last for less than ten days. I happened to take the opportunity to go out to adjust the grain. Shopkeeper Qian, shopkeeper Qian, don't blame me for being cruel. After enjoying the benefits of my Wang family for so long, you are loyal to my Wang family. When the time comes, the master will remember you."

He knows very well that now they have closed all the grain stores in the city. When their own grain store is closed, it will definitely cause chaos in the city. They will definitely be caught by then, and if they are caught, they will die.

Shopkeeper Qian proudly returned to the front of the store. When he saw his figure, a young boy approached him flatteringly.

"Shopkeeper, there are more and more people buying grain. I think we will have to replenish the grain after eight or nine days of selling."

Shopkeeper Qian nodded reservedly, "Do a good job and watch carefully, don't let anyone steal it!"

The boy immediately promised, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I'm watching, no one dares to steal food!"
