Chapter 220: Su Yunjin and Huang Waner's Shura Field ( words, please subscribe)
Chen Jie sent the princess away. The game has been set up and all he has to do is wait for the big fish to take the bait. He can relax for the next few days.

When I returned to the mansion, I found no one there.

Chen Jie asked the other maids in the mansion, "Is Madam not back yet?"

"Well, I haven't come back yet."

Chen Jie touched his belly and said, "What are these two women doing? I don't know how the conversation went."

Chen Jie rubbed his eyebrows. He actually admired those scumbags now. Why could they make a group of women run around and do it seamlessly?

I only have two women, but I always feel like a world war will break out between them.

Of course, this also has something to do with my own character. I am just too nice to the people around me. I have learned to be as cruel as a scumbag. I will just throw it away after I’m done with it, and there won’t be so many problems.

But whether it was Su Yunjin or Huang Wan'er, I couldn't bear to give them up.

Su Yunjin, that is his wife through thick and thin, who has accompanied him all the way, and has gone through a lot of hardships and sufferings. Such a wife is the treasure of the family, and Chen Jie cannot give her up.

Huang Wan'er was also a pitiful woman. She had given me a lot of help and a lot of different kinds of love. More importantly, she was pregnant with my child.

Just based on these points, Chen Jie couldn't give it up.

Chen Jie fell into deep thought, and Xiao Hu beside him seemed to be able to see what Chen Jie was thinking. He said to Chen Jie, "Brother Jiu Si, are you worried about your sister-in-law?"

Chen Jie was stunned and looked at Xiaohu, only to see Xiaohu said: "It's all over his face."

Xiaohu always calls Chen Jie "gang leader" outside, and only in private will he call Chen Jie "Brother Jiu Si".

When you call him gang leader, it is a public matter; when you call him Brother Jiu Si, it is a private matter.

Chen Jie said: "Oh, she, can she do it?"

Xiao Hu said: "Brother Jiu Si, you underestimate my sister-in-law. Although my sister-in-law is kind and weak, she has a tolerant heart. She can do it."

Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and asked, "Do you trust her so much?"

Xiao Hu said: "Well, we brothers all believe in her."

Chen Jie was a little surprised, but after thinking about it he smiled. Isn't this what he wanted, to find a group of backers for Su Yunjin? Now that Xiaohu and others believed in her so much, if something happened to him in the future, Su Yunjin would definitely be able to protect herself.

Although Chen Jie believed that he would eventually unify the world.

But the people in this world are not made of clay. They all have their own methods. If they want to fight for the world, they have to compete with the heroes of the world. Maybe some problems will arise. If something unexpected happens, what Chen Jie is most worried about is how Su Yunjin will survive.

Therefore, Chen Jie intended to help Su Yunjin establish her prestige. It can be said that the person whose reputation in the entire fishing gang is second only to his is not Xiaohu, but Su Yunjin, his wife.

Chen Jie was thinking, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Brother-in-law!"

Chen Jie turned around and saw Ruirui and Sun Yong running towards him. Ruirui threw himself into Chen Jie's arms.

Chen Jie picked her up and asked, "How was your class today?"

Ruirui smiled and said, "Of course it's fine. By the way, brother-in-law, where's my sister?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Oh, he went out to do something."

"Are you going to invite your brother-in-law's other wife, Sister Huang?"

Ruirui looked at Chen Jie and asked. Chen Jie was stunned and asked, "How do you know that your brother-in-law has another wife?"

Ruirui said: "My sister told Ruirui, and also told Ruirui that the sister is also pregnant with her brother-in-law's baby, and she doesn't allow me to be naughty!"

Chen Jie looked at Ruirui and said, "Well, you have to listen to your sister."

Ruirui heard this and said, "Well, Ruirui knows, but brother-in-law, will you marry more wives? Will they give birth to more babies for you?"

Ok?
Chen Jie was stumped by the question and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

……

In the courtyard of the ancient alley of the south city, Hua Sanniang and Yin Hongmei stood in the distance and watched the slightly tense scene in the middle of the courtyard.

They were not allowed to go forward because their killing power was too great, and Su Yunjin did not allow them to go forward.

At this time, in front of a stone table in the yard.

Su Yunjin was wearing an elegant yellow dress, with a little makeup on and her eyebrows lightly drawn. She had no fancy jewelry except for a gold and jade hairpin on her head.

Behind him stood Aster.

Dressed in green, with a clever look between her brows, she stood behind Su Yunjin, like a green leaf setting off a fragrant and elegant orchid.

Sitting opposite was Huang Wan'er.

Huang Wan'er was wearing a red nightgown, looking elegant and graceful, without any extra makeup. She was sitting on a rattan chair with her back resting on her belly. Although she was pregnant, she was full of alternative temptation.

He was wearing a pair of flat cloth shoes, and there was a kind of detached and free-spirited look between his eyebrows.

Behind her stood Du Juan, wearing a lavender gauze dress. Standing out behind Huang Wan'er, she looked like a small peony growing next to a large blooming peony.

The two of them gave people a sense of incomparability there, which was pleasing to the eye.

On both sides, one is the holy orchid, the other is the gorgeous peony. Sitting there at this time, it is a beautiful scenery. I don’t know who can be so blessed to own two such beautiful flowers in the world at the same time.

Hua Sanniang watched from the side and couldn't help but complain: "It's really a bargain for that bastard Chen Jiusi. These two beauties actually belong to him."

As he thought about this, there was an indescribable and inexplicable atmosphere in the field.

Both of them were Chen Jiusi's women, and both were pregnant with Chen Jiusi's children, but they had only met once and could be said to be the closest strangers.

Both of them had smiles on their faces and a pot of tea in front of them, but neither of them touched it.

After a while, Huang Wan'er said, "Madam Su, are you here to correct the family rules or to assert your sovereignty?"

Huang Wan'er's words were full of gunpowder as soon as she opened her mouth. The meaning of rectifying the family rules was the same as declaring sovereignty, which was to let the concubine know who was the most important person around the master.

After hearing what Huang Wan'er said, Su Yunjin smiled, then took the teapot with her bare hands, poured a cup of tea for Huang Wan'er herself, and said, "Sister Huang, you misunderstood. I came here today to invite Sister Huang to the Chen Mansion."

Huang Wan'er was stunned, then looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Madam Su, you invited me to the Chen Mansion? Why?"

Su Yunjin said, "Why? You are my Jiu Si's woman, so you should live next to Jiu Si. Does Sister Huang want to live here forever?"

Huang Wan'er said, "Of course I don't want to, but Su Yunjin, what are you up to? Are you inviting me into the Chen Mansion to use your status as the mistress of the house to bully me?"

"Mr. Huang, how can you not know what is good for you?"

After hearing what Huang Wan'er said, Cui Ju immediately became angry and opened her mouth to curse.

"Shut up."

Su Yunjin stopped Cui Ju directly, and then apologized: "Sister Huang, please forgive me. This little maid is ignorant."

"Your maid surnamed Su is ignorant and dares to bully my wife. You..."

"Shut up."

Huang Wan'er scolded Du Juan, then looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Madam Su, I am not sensible, but I really don't understand why you took me into the Chen Mansion. You know, I am competing with you for a man. Don't you hate me?"

Su Yunjin said: "Sister Huang, my husband is very good, so he cannot belong to just one person. He cannot be mine, nor can he be yours, Sister Huang. Especially since my husband has great ideals, his ideals will not allow him to have only two women, you and me."

"So, I don't hate them, because I can't hate them enough. If I look at every woman of my husband with hatred, I will probably be pissed off to death. Hatred will also make me look hateful, and I will lose my mind and become a lunatic."

"If that happens, I won't be myself anymore, and my husband will hate me for it. I like my husband, so I don't want to embarrass him."

"So I won't hate my sister. After all, we are still young and have a long life ahead of us. We can't live in hatred forever."

Su Yunjin said to Huang Wan'er.

Huang Wan'er looked at Su Yunjin and said, "You are right. I don't like the dirty things in the backyard either. Madam Su, you are a person of temperament. I didn't expect you to come today."

"But since you are here, I will say a few words from my heart."

"I like Chen Jiusi very much, and I like the excitement he brings me, but I don't like being bound, nor do I like being a canary in a cage. Therefore, I will not go back to the Chen Mansion with you. I will give birth to the child and live alone. If he misses me, he can come to see me."

"Even if you don't come, we can still get by, so Madam Su, you can rest assured. I have never thought of competing with you for the title of eldest wife, not now, and certainly not in the future."

Huang Wan'er expressed her thoughts. She is unrestrained and loves freedom.

She didn't want to be trapped in the backyard, competing with Su Yunjin for Chen Jiusi's favor all day long, like a resentful woman.

After hearing what Huang Wan'er said, Su Yunjin said, "Sister Huang, you are really free and easy!"

Huang Wan'er looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Are you free and easy? Actually, Chen Jiusi and I weren't in love before. It was just a transaction. I paid a little bit, and he gave me a body that I had never experienced before!"

"So to this day, I'm not sure whether I like him for his body or for him as a person."

Su Yunjin was a little stunned. She had never been as bold as Huang Wan'er before. She liked her husband's body...

She blushed a little. Her husband was indeed very capable, but could she say that openly?

"So, Madam Su, I'm glad you came to see me, but I can't go back with you."

Huang Wan'er finished speaking, but Su Yunjin did not leave. Instead, she sat there and waited for a moment before speaking: "Sister Huang~"

Huang Wan'er looked at her.

"I am not here to discuss this with you, but to take you away."

Huang Wan'er frowned: "What do you mean? I hate it most when others coerce me."

Su Yunjin said, "Sister Huang, although my husband is now the leader of the fishing gang, he has made too many enemies. It will be a fight between you and me, and you and I are both my husband's weak points."

"As my husband's wife, I want to help him get rid of his worries, so Sister Huang, Yunjin asks you to go back to Chen Mansion with me."

"Otherwise, you will definitely be a weakness for your husband. If someone finds out, they will use you to threaten your husband."

Huang Wan'er frowned.

Su Yunjin said: "I know that sister loves freedom. The premise of loving freedom is that you cannot become a burden to others. Otherwise, your freedom will be at the cost of others' risks, and this is not freedom."

"You said you love your husband. I don't want to see an enemy one day threaten your husband with your life and put him in danger."

After saying this, Su Yunjin suddenly pulled out a dagger from his body and slammed it on the table.

Snapped!
This immediately scared everyone around him, as no one expected Su Yunjin to carry a knife with him.

Huang Wan'er looked at the knife and didn't panic. Instead, she looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Kill me?"

Su Yunjin said: "No, this knife is used to kill me."

Huang Wan'er frowned, and Su Yunjin said, "Ever since my husband became the leader of the White Tiger Hall and fought with Nan Batian, this dagger has been with me. I am always ready to die with my husband if he fails."

"Of course, if someone comes to catch me and threaten my husband one day, I will also kill myself with this knife."

"I will never allow myself to become a burden to my husband and bring trouble to him."

Huang Wan'er frowned and looked at Su Yunjin, then slowly took out something from her sleeve, a jade bottle.

Place it in front of the knife.

"Men have their own way of dying, and girls have their own way of ending their lives. The poison is red resentment, and it kills instantly upon contact with blood!"

Huang Wan'er placed the poison on the stone table and said, "I have been preparing this bottle of poison since I moved here. If Nan Batian comes one day, I will take this poison and understand myself."

After Huang Wan'er finished speaking, she looked at Su Yunjin.

Hua Sanniang, who was watching the excitement, said, "Ah, these two women are crazy. Are they really that crazy just for a man?"

After hearing this, Yin Hongmei looked at Hua Sanniang and said, "You can't even imagine how much Madam loves Master."

Hua Sanniang heard this and said, "Yes, what charm does Chen Jiusi have that can make two beautiful women die for him?"

Yin Hongmei was silent.

She doesn't like to speak well of her master's family.

All I can say is: "If it's for Master Ni, are you willing to die for him?"

Yin Hongmei looked at Hua Sanniang, who was stunned for a moment, then said, "That guy..."

She didn't want to continue talking halfway through.

At this time, the two women in the field looked at each other, no one spoke, but each of them seemed to have said a lot.

After a while, Su Yunjin said, "Sister Huang is indeed a person of temperament. It is a blessing for my husband to be favored by Sister Huang."

Huang Wan'er looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Chen Jiusi is lucky to have a wife like you. Not only is she ready to commit suicide for him at any time, but she can also condescend to talk to his other women. If I were you, I couldn't do that."

Su Yunjin said: "Sister is a free and easy person, so she naturally can't do it."

"Yun Jin is just a country girl with little knowledge. It is a blessing for her to marry Jiu Si. How can she be greedy for more? If sister wants to be the first wife, Yun Jin can also let her."

"Don't!"

Huang Wan'er immediately stopped him after hearing this, "I can't be the first wife, especially with you. If it was another woman, I wouldn't be as magnanimous as you. I'm magnanimous for not causing trouble for her, but I can't do that with you."

Su Yunjin looked at Huang Wan'er and said, "So, Sister Huang, are you willing to go back to the Chen Mansion with me?"

"I didn't say I agreed!"

Huang Wan'er said, Su Yunjin took a deep breath and said: "Sister Huang, now that we have come to this point, Yunjin has nothing else to say."

"As your husband's wife, Yunjin must consider your husband, so Sister Huang, if you continue to live here, it will be a flaw in your husband, and I will not allow this flaw to appear."

Snapped!
Su Yunjin slapped the knife in front of Huang Waner and said, "So Yunjin is daring today. Either Sister Huang kills me, or Sister Huang comes back to Chen's house with me."

Ah!
Everyone was shocked to see this scene.

Hua Sanniang took three steps forward, looked at Yin Hongmei who looked anxious, and said, "Is your wife usually so tough?"

Yin Hongmei heard this and said, "Madam Hua, you must protect my wife's safety. My wife usually looks weak, but she is actually very strong. I think she is serious this time."

Su Yunjin was really serious about it. Su Yunjin knew Chen Jie too well. No matter how big the difficulties were outside, he would not tell his family and would just bear them alone.

But Su Yunjin is not blind. Can't she see the tense atmosphere in the fishing gang these days?

Especially before coming to South City today, she saw the East City warehouse being burned down. Coupled with Zhou Chu's abnormal behavior in the past few days, she felt that the Fishing Gang was not safe.

Especially if Zhou Chu had any rebellious intentions, she knew many secrets of her husband, especially the soft spot among soft spots like Huang Wan'er, and he could definitely ask the other core members of the fishing gang about it.

Huang Wan'er will be in danger then.

If Huang Wan'er is arrested, her husband will definitely be distracted. If something unexpected happens, how will she deal with it?

So Huang Wan'er is no longer safe here, and she must solve this problem for her husband.

That's why she took such radical action: Either you kill me or you follow me!

Su Yunjin looked at Huang Wan'er and said this. Huang Wan'er was stunned. She never thought that the weak Su Yunjin would go to such an extent.

She looked into Su Yunjin's eyes and found that her gaze was extremely firm.

Huang Wan'er was silent. She could understand Su Yunjin's feelings and understood Su Yunjin's thoughts.

I never thought that one day I would become a burden and need another woman to force me.

But am I the kind of person who would be threatened?
Huang Wan'er picked up the knife on the table at this time, and Yin Hongmei was immediately shocked and said, "Madam Hua, save Madam."

Hua Sanniang said: "Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine."

Su Yunjin watched Huang Wan'er pick up the knife on the table. He was not afraid and continued to look at her.

Huang Wan'er pulled out the dagger with a loud sound, and a cold light flashed immediately.

Hua Sanniang frowned, and a plum blossom dart appeared in her hand. As long as Huang Wan'er made a move, she would also take action.

Huang Wan'er looked at the dagger in her hand, only to see a flash of cold light. The next moment, she sheathed the dagger and said, "This knife is good, it belongs to me, and the poison is yours."

Su Yunjin was stunned. Huang Wan'er had already put the knife into her sleeve and asked immediately, "Where is the car?"

Su Yunjin asked: "Car?"

Huang Wan'er said, "Madam Su, you won't let me go to Chen's house, will you?"

Su Yunjin was stunned, then immediately smiled and said, "Of course it's ready. Hongmei, have someone drive the car to the door."

"Yes, ma'am."

After hearing this, Huang Wan'er stood up and said to Du Juan, "Let Mudan pack up and we'll leave."

Du Juan heard this and said, "Madam, are we going to leave like this? The Su guy must know that you don't dare to poke, so he is testing you."

Huang Wan'er looked back at Du Juan and said, "Go ahead and slap yourself in the face. Remember, she is the eldest lady of the Chen residence."

"Yes, this slave is wrong."

Du Juan lowered her head immediately. Huang Wan'er touched the dagger on her sleeve and said, "Whether it's true or not, a pregnant woman can do this, what else do you want..."

As she said this, she touched her belly and thought, "She's going to be a mother."

Cui Ju on the other side pulled Su Yunjin and said, "Madam, you scared me to death. That Huang is crazy. What if she really stabs you?"

Su Yunjin said with a smile on her face: "Sister Huang won't do that."

"Ma'am, you don't allow it next time."

Cui Ju started talking, and at this time Su Yunjin said, "Don't tell your husband when you go back."

Cui Ju said, "I won't tell you, but Madam Hua probably can't control her mouth."

Su Yunjin said, "I'll tell Sister Hua, you and Hongmei should watch your mouths."

"Yes!"

……

At night, Chen Mansion, living room.

There was a sumptuous meal on the table. Chen Jie sat in the main seat, with Su Yunjin sitting on his left and Huang Wan'er sitting on his right.

Yin Hongmei and Du Juan are responsible for serving in the inner hall.

Hua Sanniang, Ruirui was at the table. Ruirui lowered his head and focused on eating. Only Hua Sanniang looked at the awkward scene and just wanted to laugh.

Chen Jie was indeed a little uneasy. He didn't know why, as soon as he sat at the table today, he felt the aura on both sides was so strong.

Chen Jie held the bowl and looked to his left and right. There were two ladies as beautiful as fairies. Su Yunjin was gentle and dignified, while Huang Wan'er was generous and elegant.

At this moment, one on the left and one on the right, Chen Jiusi felt like he was in a dream.

My wife actually invited Huang Wan'er over. This time, I wonder if we will have the chance to sleep together.

However, looking at the two ladies with such strong personalities, Chen Jie felt that good things would take more time. Su Yunjin was shy and it would probably be difficult for her to agree. As for Huang Wan'er, well, it was possible, but both women were pregnant.

Therefore, Chen Jie could only hold back his thoughts. So he could only eat, and when he was full, Ruirui was called by Su Yunjin to review his lessons. Chen Jie secretly asked Hua Sanniang how Su Yunjin had invited Huang Waner.

Hua Sanniang said: "Use a knife."

"Well, put the knife on Huang Wan'er's neck?"

Hua Sanniang thought for a moment and said, "It's on my neck."

Chen Jie was confused.

Later, after finding out the details from Hua Sanniang, Chen Jie was shocked. When did his wife become so strong? Thinking of this, Chen Jie felt sorry for Su Yunjin and sneaked into Su Yunjin's room, wanting to hug his wife and have a good sleep.

But as soon as he entered the house, Su Yunjin drove him out: "Husband, Sister Huang just came, you have to accompany her tonight."

Chen Jie looked at his wife and said, "Tomorrow."

"No, we have to go today."

Chen Jie had no choice but to turn around and go to the west courtyard, then entered Huang Wan'er's room, only to find that the door was locked from the inside.

Chen Jie knocked on the door: "Wan'er, open the door!"

"Chen Lang, I'm asleep, so don't come in."

"No, Wan'er, I'll come to accompany you."

"I don't need you to accompany me. You should accompany Madam Su tonight. She has been wronged today. You should comfort her more. You, you can come again tomorrow."

"I……"

Chen Jie was helpless. When the two were separated, he could at least hug whichever one he wanted. But now that one of them is better, he can't even hug one of them.

Is this the legendary saying that one monk has water to drink? No, it should be that one wife has milk to drink, but two wives have no milk to drink. How miserable...

"Gang leader!"

When Chen Jie was thinking about how to spend the day, he heard Xiaohu come to report: "The princess is here."

Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and said, "It's late at night. My wife won't accompany you. You should accompany the princess, right?"

Xiao Hu smiled and said, "Brother, I heard that the two sisters-in-law are being modest and won't let you in. Why don't you meet the princess? After all, the princess is pretty."

"I'll go to yours."

Chen Jie kicked Xiaohu and then walked towards the study room with Xiaohu.

When I arrived at the study, I saw the princess. The princess said, "Chen Jiusi, it's just right. Do you know how much grain costs on the black market now?"

Chen Jie was stunned and asked, "How much?"

The princess said, "It was only twenty-five cents yesterday, but today I went to check and it's already thirty cents."

Chen Jie said: "Oh, thirty cents, haha, there is still room for growth, how much is the grain you buy?"

The princess said, "A lot, but those grain merchants seem to be controlling the amount of grain they sell. Are they going to raise the price?"

Chen Jie said: "Of course, starting from today, the price will change every day for the next few days."

Zhao Ya said: "How can the common people afford it?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "If you want to fish, you need the necessary bait. If you have bait, there will naturally be sacrifices. This is inevitable."

Zhao Ya said: "The big fish has already come out, can he take the bait?"

Chen Jie said: "Haha, he will definitely take the bait, Princess, let's wait and see."

……

Yelu Mansion.

Zhou Peng looked at Yelu and said, "Sir, the price of grain on the black market has skyrocketed to thirty coins today. Should we buy more?"

Yelu looked at Zhou Peng and said, "Thirty cents, haha, I won't sell it. Wait, there is a shortage of grain in Mianshui now, the price can be raised to at least sixty cents. Without sixty cents, I won't sell a single grain."

"Yes, I will listen to you, Master Yelu."

On the other side, Magistrate Tang also said: "I will listen to Lord Yelu too."

After hearing this, everyone spoke in unison and continued to hold the price and refused to sell the grain.

As long as they don't sell grain, the price of grain will continue to rise.

At the same time, the price of grain on the black market was also reported by carrier pigeons to Shen Wansan's Suzhou caravan which was heading towards the Mian River.

Plop la la...

A carrier pigeon flew to a huge ship. A servant wearing clothes with the word "Shen" on them caught the pigeon and got the message inside.

Soon the note came into Shen Wansan's hands.

The Suzhou merchants who got the news quickly gathered around and looked at Shen Wansan and asked, "How is Brother Shen?"

Hearing this, Shen Wansan raised his hand and said, "Achang, read it aloud."

Ah Chang took the note and immediately read aloud: "Today, the black market price of grain in Mianshui has increased by five cents to thirty cents per catty."

"Thirty cents!"

After hearing this, the merchants in Suzhou looked at each other excitedly, and then began to calculate. When they collected this batch of grain from Suzhou and Hangzhou, it was only eight cents per pound.

When it was transported to Hubei, the price per pound was about ten cents.

This is the capital, and it has grown to thirty cents, which means it has tripled!

Oh my God!
This is a fortune.

Everyone clenched their fists excitedly.

Shen Wansan said with his hands behind his back: "Haha... this is just the beginning. Don't worry, from today on, the price of grain will change every day!"

After hearing this, everyone was excited. Someone asked, "Brother Shen, what do you think the final price will be?"

Shen Wansan said: "Sixty articles."

"Sixty, sixty cents!"

Everyone's eyes widened. This meant that the assets increased sixfold in an instant. Oh my God!
It’s sent, it’s sent!

Everyone shouted excitedly to each other: "Master Shen, let's hurry to the Mian River and speed up the voyage."

Shen Wansan heard this and said, "Haha, no hurry, no hurry, there's still time, there's still time."

Shen Wansan's eyes were full of light. He was going to make a lot of money this time.

The Suzhou merchants behind them looked at each other, then found excuses to leave.

Soon, someone secretly released the pigeon in the cover of night when no one was noticing.

The huge profit of sixty cents is enough for them to use some tricks.

What Das Kapital says: When there is one times the profit, the capitalists will take risks; when there is two times the profit, the capitalists will defy the law; when there is three times the profit, the capitalists will trample on everything in the world, even at the cost of their lives!
That’s right, he is not afraid of being beheaded, let alone using tricks.

That's right, they used some tricks. These people felt that their share was not enough, so they secretly sent pigeons back to ask their family's caravans to transport more food. This time they were going to make a fortune.

In this way, they flew back and brought back the news that Mianshui was going to make a fortune.

For a moment, the remaining caravans all had ideas.

They began to transport grain to the Mian River frantically.

At this time, the Mian River was like a tempting oil lamp, tempting this group of people to rush to the Mian River to die.

Another day passed.

Shen Wansan received another report from his subordinates via carrier pigeon.

"read."

Shen Wansan said to Achang, who immediately took the note and said, "The price of grain in Mianshui has increased by five cents today, to thirty-five cents per catty."

"profound!"

After hearing this, the Suzhou merchants looked at each other excitedly and danced with joy. They seemed to see the white silver waving at them, and they were so excited that they wanted to sing and dance.

"Brother Wansan, let's get drunk today!"

"Yes, Brother Wansan, we can celebrate today!"

"Haha, I really made a lot of money this time, a lot of money!"

……

The merchants were delighted, but Shen Wansan said calmly, "It can still go up!"

After hearing this, the Suzhou merchants immediately said, "We will all listen to Brother Wan San."

Another day.

Carrier pigeon delivers message.

"Today, the price of grain in Mianshui has increased by five cents, to forty cents per catty."

"well!"

Hearing Achang's words, the merchants in Suzhou cheered again. At this time, a merchant stood up and said, "After this transaction is completed, I will treat you all to a month of flower boats on the Huaiyang River."

"You are so petty. This time it works. I will book Manchunlou and be your groom for a month."

"Then I'll provide you with a month's supply of fine wine. Hahaha..."

……

Another day!
Carrier pigeon delivers message.

"Today, the price of grain in Mianshui has risen by another five cents, to forty-five cents per pound!"

"Hahaha, good, good. We can make money this time thanks to Brother Wan San. We thank Brother Wan San."

"We would like to thank Brother Wan San."

The merchants in Suzhou already felt that they were going to get rich, and with their sailing speed, they would reach the Mian River in two days at most. By then, the price of grain in the Mian River would be just 60 wen, so everyone could make a fortune.

At this time, it was Yelu Mansion on the Mian River.

Yelu looked at Zhou Chu who was in a rather embarrassed state and said, "Brother Zhou Chu, what happened to you?"

"Lord Yelu, you have to take care of me. Chen Jiusi found out that I set fire to the granary, and now he's sending people all over the world to catch me!"

"Master Yelu, I am only following your orders. You can't just ignore me!"

Zhou Chu said with tears in his eyes.

Yelu immediately comforted him, "Okay, okay, Zhou Chu, you have done a great service for me, how can I ignore you? Don't worry, your affairs are the affairs of my Yelu Mansion."

"You can stay in Yelu Mansion for a few days. After a few days, the Mian River will be turned upside down. I will definitely help you."

Zhou Chu looked at Yelu with tears in his eyes and said, "Sir, then you promised me that you would be the leader of the fishing gang!"

Yelu said: "Don't worry, I won't lie to you. Isn't he just the leader of a fishing gang? I will definitely snatch it for you."

"Thank you, sir."

Zhou Chu wiped his tears and said, "By the way, Lord Yelu, do I need to avoid anything while living with you these days?"

Yelu was stunned and said, "Oh, you ask like this as if I don't believe you. You are a great contributor. Don't worry, you can go to any part of the Yelu Mansion except the courtyard where my concubine lives."

Zhou Chu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Yelu."

"Well, then you can go down." Yelu said to Zhou Chu, and then said to his subordinates: "Arrange a place for Mr. Zhou to live."

"Yes."

Zhou Chu followed the others down. At this time, the housekeeper came to Yelu and said, "Sir, your batch of grain will arrive in about four days, and it will take the old route."

After hearing this, Yelu said, "Well, in the next two days, select some people to go to our secret warehouse outside the city to clean up the food. This batch of food cannot be transported into the city."

The housekeeper was stunned when he heard this and said, "Sir, what do you mean?"

“Target smaller and sell slowly.”

"clear."

The housekeeper immediately said, "I'll arrange this."

……

Another day passed.

The price of grain in Mianshui officially rose to fifty wen per catty.

In the fishing gang, Xiaohu rushed in and said, "Boss, the price of grain on the black market has risen to fifty cents per pound."

"Fifty cents?"

Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked, "When will the grain merchant's fleet arrive?"

Xiaohu said: "Tomorrow."

"What about Yelu's batch of grain?"

Chen Jie asked Xiao Hu, and Xiao Hu frowned and said, "Yelv's grain transportation was very secretive, and many of our people died. Later, we didn't dare to get close, but it will probably take three or four days."

Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "Then the grain price cannot rise too fast. Give the order to sell 10,000 dan of grain and keep the grain price stable at 50 wen."

After hearing this, Xiaohu said, "Yes."

Now, since there is no food to buy in the market and people are in a state of hunger, the price of food is rising rapidly. However, if large-scale food is sold to the market, it is very likely that the market will temporarily suspend price increases and maintain the price of fifty cents.

When food appears in large quantities and exceeds demand, it will fall massively. This logic is somewhat similar to the stock market in later generations.

Thinking of this, Xiaohu immediately went out to prepare to crash the market to keep the price stable for a day.

So the price did not rise that day.

……

Yelu Mansion.

"Fuck it, who is selling the grain? Fifty cents, fifty cents for nothing!"

At this time Zhou Peng yelled angrily, cursing that someone broke the rules and sold grain secretly. If they hadn't sold grain secretly, how could this happen now?

Zhou Peng shouted angrily: "Which bastard couldn't help it? Sixty cents, didn't we agree to sell it for sixty cents?"

"Whoever breaks the rules, can I sell him for fifty cents?"

"Master Yelu, please say something!"

After hearing this, Yelu glanced at Zhou Peng and said, "Okay, no matter who it is, I hope there won't be a next time. Do you hear me?"

"The price of grain from the Mian River must be standardized at 60 wen. If anyone dares to buy it blindly, I will make you pay."

After hearing this, everyone in the room looked at each other and said, "It's Lord Yelu."

Seeing this, Yelu said, "Very good. If I find anyone who dares to break the rules, don't blame me for being ruthless."

On the Mianshui River.

"Fifty cents, didn't it go up today?"

The grain merchant's ship was almost reaching the Mian River. They received a message that the price of grain had not increased today, and everyone frowned.

But soon everyone came to their senses: "If it doesn't grow today, it will definitely grow tomorrow."

That night, the grain merchant's ship went directly into Mianshui County and docked at the fishing gang's pier.

Xiao Hu rushed over and said to Chen Jie, "Master, the big grain merchants are here. They have 20 large ships carrying about 300,000 dan of grain. There will be grain in the Mian River this time."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Hahaha, okay. By the way, send someone to find them right away and tell them that we have a cheap warehouse to rent to them at half the price. Ask them if they want it."

After hearing this, Xiaohu immediately said, "Yes."

Soon, the people from the fishing gang contacted the people from Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, and they agreed to rent Chen Jiusi’s warehouse.

After Chen Jiusi got the news, he immediately burst into laughter.

Zhao Ya also came and looked at Chen Jiusi and said, "The big grain merchant is here. What should we do now?"

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Princess, don't be impatient. Wait a little longer."

Zhao Ya said: "What are you waiting for?"

Chen Jie said: "Wait for a solution."

Zhao Ya was stunned for a moment. What plan to break the impasse? Haven’t you figured it out yet?

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya's expression and said, "Princess, don't worry. The fish are already in the net, so we don't have to wait for a while."

Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Heng rushed in and said, "Boss, there's a letter from Zhou Chu."

Chen Jie said, "Give it to me quickly."

Chen Heng immediately handed the letter to Chen Jie. There was a check mark drawn on the letter with cinnabar, which meant it was extremely urgent.

Chen Jie opened it and took a look. The next moment, a smile appeared on his face: "Hahaha... let Xiaohu come."

Soon Xiaohu came in, and Chen Jie showed the letter to Xiaohu. Xiaohu said, "Well, it should be correct. Old Zhou has made a contribution."

After hearing this, Zhao Ya was confused and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Yelü's grain transportation route and grain storage location!"

Zhao Ya was stunned: "Where did Yelu get the food?"

Chen Jie smiled and said, "I borrowed it from Yong'an Prefecture."

After saying this, Chen Jie said to Zhao Ya, "My Lord, it's your turn to come on stage now."

Zhao Ya said: "Me?"

"Yes, Princess, have you forgotten that we said at the meeting a few days ago that everyone should use their abilities to collect grain? Now that Lord Yelu has collected the grain, if Princess doesn't go and reward him, wouldn't that chill people's hearts?"

Um? ! !
