Chapter 875 The Wang Family's Disaster Relief

"62,000 kilograms of corn, 38,600 kilograms of soybeans, rice..."

The Zhao family rice shop, an old shopkeeper who is over 60 years old, is fiddling with calculations and calculating yesterday's income.

I don't know, I'm shocked when I calculate it.

Yesterday, the residents of the town, along with the victims with some spare money, bought nearly 100,000 kilograms of grain from the Zhao family rice shop in one breath.

There are eleven grain stores in Jiuquan Town. Except for the two grain stores in the Wang family that are not open, the others have made a fortune and released at least 500,000 kilograms of grain.

"Tonggui, how are the victims outside the town?"

As he fiddled with the abacus, the shopkeeper asked without raising his head.

The guy who was called Tonggui nodded and stood aside, answering: "Shopkeeper, I have seen it. Compared to yesterday, there were tens of thousands of disaster victims today."

"This is a good thing!"

The shopkeeper held back the abacus in his hand and smiled: "Even if it is a disaster victim, there must be a few copper plates on his hand, right? The sand is gathered into a tower. Today's business is not necessarily worse than yesterday. By the way, I asked you to go to the town to spread news that the grain prices will rise. Have you told the villagers?"

"I said it, but the shopkeeper, do we really want to raise the price? At the current price of grain, many villagers can't afford it, let alone the victims outside." Tong Gui said while paying attention to the shopkeeper's expression.

The shopkeeper sneered and said disapprovingly: "Why don't it go up? There are too many people and too few foods, whoever doesn't go up is a fool. Besides, didn't I ask you to let go? The clever one already knows how to store grain. It's stupid, it's better to starve them to death. What's the fool doing alive?"

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, butler Liu Quan of the Wang family came and said that his young master had something to say to everyone, and let us send someone to the Wang family rice warehouse."

A guy ran in from outside the door and said breathlessly.

"What's the meaning?"

The shopkeeper looked weird and asked, "Who has the young master of the Wang family invited?"

The guy replied: "A lot of people were invited, including shopkeepers from various shops in the town, and some famous villagers. By the way, even the villages below were sent to me. I saw Mr. Liu from Sanwang Village, who was invited to me."

"Strange, what is the Wang family doing? The grain shops in the town have raised prices these days, and the Wang family's grain shop is actually closed and they don't even do business. Now they are making great efforts to invite gentry from the town and various villages. What are they doing?"

The old shopkeeper couldn't think of it, so he waved his hand and said, "Go and notify the master, and call two more guys and come with me to take a look."

Similar things happen in different places at the same time, at different places.

The three major families were all invited by the Wang family’s housekeeper, and the gentry and shop below asked the housekeepers to go there.

An hour later, thousands of people were surrounded in front of the Wang family's Mi Cang.

Everyone looked up and saw that all the well-known figures in Jiuquan Town were here. In addition, there were also small landlords from various villages, which seemed to be a shortage of them.

"Boss Wei, I wonder why the Wang family invited us with great fanfare?"

"It's hard to say, but it seems that something big happened."

"A big thing? Not necessarily. If it is a big thing, we should be at the gate of the ancestral temple, but you see, the three elders didn't come at all."

"Yes, the three elders didn't come. It shouldn't be a big deal. Let's take a look for it for now."

The people below were talking, and those standing in front were all well-known people, and those behind were watching the lively townspeople.

After waiting for a while, Wang Xu climbed up the platform he had built and said, "Dear uncles and uncles, fellow villagers in the country, Wang Xu is polite here. This time, I asked everyone to come here, not for anything else, for the victims outside the town. The victims are gathering more and more, and this is not a solution. The men in the county don't want to care, but my Wang family can't stand it."

"What does the Wang family mean? What is it about?"

"What's wrong. This young master of the Wang family wants to interfere in the disaster victims, right?"

"It's not that unwise. The men in the county are helpless in the face of these victims. They are so panicked that they even close the city gates. What can he do as a little kid?"

Listening to the discussion below, Wang Xu stood on the platform and patted him gently: "Everyone, calm down and listen to me finish my words."

The discussion gradually subsided. Everyone did not give Wang Xu face, but the Wang family, and wanted to hear what he said.

Wang Xu didn't say nonsense, looked around the crowd for a while, and said, "The victims are also humans. The men in the county don't care, but my Wang family can't sit idly by. Today, my Wang family will pretend to be big. How much food is on your hands, how much is my Wang family wants, and my Wang family wants to provide relief to the victims!"

"What, to help the victims!" The old shopkeeper of the Zhao family's rice shop looked at him in amazement.

"Crazy, this young master of the Wang family is crazy. Does he know how many victims there are outside and how many victims are coming?" Boss Zhou of the oil mill also said to the people around him.

"What the hell is the Wang family? I called us here and let a half-baby talker come out. Do you look down on us or take the wrong medicine?" Boss Jiang from the grocery store looked dissatisfied.

"Young Master Wang family, are you saying true?"

Amid the doubts, a different voice suddenly came.

Wang Xu was stunned and said to Liu Quan beside him: "Is this what you invited?"

"No, I invited Boss Wei from the Bushang as a tutor. I don't know this person!" Liu Quan also looked puzzled and looked at Boss Wei in the crowd. Boss Wei shook his head in confusion.

"Whose child is this? Look at him!"

"It seems that it is from the Ning family. It is called Zhang Qing, it is said that it is the son of the eldest son of the Ning family. Now it is called Ning Qing, and he has already recognized his ancestors."

"Boss of Ning family, didn't he run away from home thirty years ago and come back?"

"It seems that there is no. The boss of the Ning family died outside, so he came back half a boy and a little girl."

Listening to the villagers' discussions, Wang Xu looked at this person named Zhang Qing, no, he should be named Ning Qing.

Ning Qing looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and there was a girl in her thirteen or fourteen next to him. She was different from those who would subconsciously dodge others' eyes when they met others' eyes. He looked at Wang Xu with his head held high and his chest was very clear.

Wang Xu is no stranger to the Ning family.

The reason why I am familiar with it is not that the Ning family is so rich, but that the middle-aged man who borrowed money from him on the day he met the blood demon was the Ning family.

Decades ago, the Ning family was considered a gentry in Jiuquan Town. The family had about a hundred acres of land, which was less than the top and less than the bottom.

The good times did not last long. As the elder of the Ning family drowned in the river and the eldest brother who drowned, ran away from home, the old couple of the Ning family went crazy and went to search for him, and their lives gradually became desolate.

The family business was transferred to the third brother of the Ning family, and only ten acres of land were left. A serious illness this spring caused the Ning family's wife to be infected with a cold. The ten acres of land were also mortgaged to the Wang family. It seemed that they could not redeem this land, and if they were not careful, their family would be destroyed.

"Didn't he arranged it?"

Wang Xu glanced at Liu Quan again, and Liu Quan shook his head slightly and said nothing.

"Interesting, I bring my own 50 cents of dry food!"

Wang Xu was overjoyed. The boss Wei he hired didn't speak, but Ning Qing, who brought his own dry food, rushed up instead.

Judging from the meaning of the people around me, I was still very interested in Ning Qing’s statement, and I wanted to know if the Wang family wanted to play the real thing.

"This fellow villager has asked the point. Is the Wang family really going to provide disaster relief? Will it give up halfway? Now, my young master of the Wang family, Wang Xu, on behalf of the Wang family, tell you personally that we have prepared 50 million kilograms of grain. We will not keep a single grain of food, and we will all help the victims!"

Seeing that everyone below was disbelief, Wang Xu turned to look at Liu Quan: "Open the position!"

"Open the position!"

With Liu Quan's shout, the granary was opened.

When I saw that there were densely packed food inside, not only was the granary full of food, but the ground was piled up like mountains, which made the townspeople exclaim.

"I ask everyone to supervise that all the food in it is for the relief of disasters and the people in the disaster are not sold by my Wang family! In addition, everyone is welcome to sell the food to the Wang family. My Wang family will need as much as the food they have. The grain they bought will be used for disaster relief. The disaster relief will start from tonight."

With Wang Xu's words, everyone present was stunned.

I don’t know if it was the first one to start applauding, but soon, warm applause rang out from all directions.

In the crowd, several bosses from the rice shop gathered together, looked at Wang Xu with a smile on his face, and muttered: "The Wang family is over. Even if the food is not 50 million pounds, there are still 20 million pounds. Now the Wang family's family's assets are empty."

"Yes, it must be over. Even if you can't hold on to the mountains of gold and silver, you can't hold on to such a waste."

"What should we do?"

"Selling the grain to the Wang family, don't he sell it to him as much as he wants."

"No, our family has at least 20 million kilograms of grain. Can the Wang family afford it?"

"Why can't you afford it? The Wang family has so much land, rice shops and restaurants. The young master of the Wang family also has a great scholar as a teacher, so he can pay off his debts."

"Wouldn't it be too ruthless to do this? This is pushing the Wang family into the fire pit!"

"You don't like it?"

"Hehe, I like it..."
