Chapter 53: Make a fortune

"It's over, it's over..." Wei Xuanzhen almost fainted.

There is no food in the year of a disaster, which is unprecedented in the Wei family.

In the past few years, it was a peaceful year, so why did this year have a major disaster?

"Quick, fast, let's harvest immediately...the grain from the harvest field..."

The wise Huang Chenggong looked at Wei Xuanzhen with a look of mental retardedness. Of course... this look flashed quickly, and he immediately said, "The owner... Now, the food is not yet ripe, how to harvest it?"

Wei Xuanzhen: “…”

Wei Xuanzhen stood still, motionless, his whole body was already in chaos, and countless thoughts passed by in his mind, as if he was lucky enough to hope that all this had not happened before.

At this moment, someone suddenly came quickly. Before Wei Xuanzhen could see the person coming clearly, she saw that the old man with white hair and hair had arrived in front of him. The person... was Wei Xuanzhen's clan uncle. The clan uncle stared at Wei Xuanzhen tightly, and then roared: "Beast, you did a good thing!"

Bang!

He opened his hand and slapped Wei Xuanzhen in the face.

Wei Xuanzhen staggered.

The Wei family uncle beat his chest and said sternly: "You are so vicious and wise. Do you know that your cousin fainted in the court after receiving this news in the court and fainted on the spot. Our Wei family has so many years... how could there be such an unworthy descendant like you?"

While stomping his feet, he scolded him.

Huang Chenggong was so scared that his face turned green. He subconsciously moved back three or four steps. He felt safe, so he tried to persuade him with great pain: "No, no, no... no..."

Wei Xuanzhen was awakened by this slap and trembled with her mouth. Just as she was about to say something, this uncle had already left.

Wei Xuanzhen was silent for a long time before her eyes fell on Huang Chenggong.

Huang Chenggong was still in shock and was a little panicked: "Owner, this...this..."

"What should I do?" Wei Xuanzhen stared at Huang Chenggong tightly.

Huang Chenggong: “…”

Huang Chenggong knew in his heart that at this point, he had to come up with a plan. Otherwise, the boss would definitely bury himself alive and the boss could do anything.

Fortunately, Huang Chenggong is a very capable person. He squinted his eyes: "The boss wants to recover the losses, there is only one way. I dare to ask the boss, what is the most precious thing in this year of disaster?"

"food."

Huang Chenggong said in surprise: "The owner is so ingenious."

"Yes, in the year of great disaster, the most precious thing is food. Next... the grain price will surely surge, and there is no food in Guanzhong... Now, not to mention the Wei family is short of food, who doesn't have this place in Guanzhong? It won't take long. Guanzhong will be about to have a thousand miles of land, and the people will change their children to eat each other. At that time, even if a few kilograms of grain are exchanged for one person and ten kilograms of grain, it may not be impossible to buy one acre of land for those people who are about to starve to death. So the most urgent thing is to... seek food."

"Please ask for food?" Wei Xuanzhen looked at Huang Chenggong: "Where is there any food?"

"Isn't the Chen family the one who has the most food right now?"

When Wei Xuanzhen heard this, he was furious: "This husband naturally knows, it's just..."

"Why, the boss goes to talk to Chen Zhengtai. The boss is angry. Look... how could the Chen family know about the locust plague? They buy food just because they are full."

"But now a major disaster has occurred, I'm afraid they are also afraid. The boss, your sister is the imperial concubine, and has given birth to the tenth son for the emperor. Isn't their Chen family afraid of the boss's momentum? Why don't we buy back the grain and see how the Chen family bids."

Wei Xuanzhen thought about it and felt that it made some sense.

Although Huang Chenggong had encouraged himself to sell grain before, the reason was nothing wrong. The autumn harvest was about to be harvested, and countless new grains were about to be put into storage. Someone happened to buy the old grain in the barn at a high price. If it was not sold, would it still be eaten?

Wei Xuanzhen decided to forgive him.

After pondering for a moment: "Go to visit the Chen family?"

Huang Chenggong said confidently: "Yes, and it's time to go out immediately, and it's not time to wait for me. If others get ahead, everything will be over."

Wei Xuanzhen took a deep breath: "Go and prepare the car."

…………

When Chen Zhengtai heard that the Wei family came, his first reaction was that he wanted to run away.

But my feet were about to move, but I realized... Isn't this my own home? What am I going to run away?

However, he was still a little worried and asked Chen Fu to prepare dozens of swords and axe players, which were arranged around the lobby. Of course... there were no professional swords and axe players, so he had to catch Chen Zhengde and other pig farmers to make up the numbers.

call……

Take a deep breath and I, Chen Zhengtai, cannot die. The locust plague is imminent. I, Chen Zhengtai, want to keep a useful body.

After the arrangement was made, Wei Xuanzhen was invited in. Seeing that Wei Xuanzhen and the others entered the hall, Chen Zhengtai was already smiling and got up.

So everyone greeted each other.

Wei Xuanzhen smiled and said, "Hello, nephew."

Chen Zhengtai felt guilty and said, "What's the matter with the uncle here?"

Huang Chenggong stood by them and watched them greeting each other. He couldn't help but twitched slightly, muttering in his heart, the boss scolded others for being fools every day, and when he arrived, his mouth was like a smear of honey, and his nephew called him.

Tsk tsk...

Wei Xuanzhen's lips twitched slightly. According to the past, he would never come to the Chen family even if he was beaten to death, but now he has to force out a smile.

"My nephew, I heard that the locust plague in Guanzhong is coming, and Chang'an City is moving, and the grain price alone doubled."

How long has it been, and the news came out, and it was only less than an hour.

When Wei Xuanzhen said this, her heart hurt again, and it hurts so much.

But he knew very well that in this case, not to mention that the price of grain doubled, even ten times or one hundred times, it was common. A pound of grain was a life.

"I don't say secret words, but I'm just buying food..."

Buy grain...

Chen Zhengtai felt that Wei Xuanzhen was insulting his IQ.

"This...this...Shiwang wants to know..."

"You offer a price." Huang Chenggong was anxious, afraid that the night would be long and the dream would be high, and the grain prices would double again after a while.

"This... I'm not short of money." Chen Zhengtai sighed. He really is not short of money. Will people with food and salt still lack money?

Wei Xuanzhen was about to explode and was about to be furious.

Chen Zhengtai immediately said, "I heard that the Wei family has a lot of land, so why not... exchange land for grain. Why not do this? Fifty kilograms of grain for one acre of land?"

Wei Xuanzhen's face turned red in anger and she was about to faint. Our Wei family has never only bought other people's land, so how could we sell land? If we sell the land, wouldn't we become an unworthy descendant?

Huang Chenggong was thinking about it, and was busy stopping Wei Xuanzhen who was about to be angry with his eyes. Then he bowed to Wei Xuanzhen and whispered: "The boss should calm down. This transaction...is not reasonable, but next... the price of grain will surely surge. There is no grain in Guanzhong at present... Not to mention that the Wei family is short of grain, who doesn't need this Guanzhong land? It is indeed a loss to exchange for fifty kilograms of grain for one acre of land, but the boss thought about it. It won't take long to eat the people in Guanzhong. Even if they eat ten kilograms of grain, it may not be impossible to buy one acre of land for those people who are about to starve to death. With food, are you afraid of not having land? The boy named Chen doesn't know the market price of grain in the year of the disaster, so we won't lose."

When Wei Xuanzhen heard this, her mind immediately became moved.

He was indeed furious just now, but when he thought about it carefully, it was not unreasonable that what Huang Chenggong said was. This year, it was impossible for food to grow in the fields. The imperial treasury of the court could not last long. Guanzhong is the granary of the world. There is a shortage of food here. I don’t know how many people will starve to death within this year.

Generally, in such a disaster year, countless poor people will inevitably sell their property at a low price in order to survive. Families with food in their hands will not only not be damaged by the disaster, but can take this opportunity to make huge profits.

The Wei family has land, and nearly half of the land in Jingzhao Prefecture is in the hands of the Wei family.

What's more, Chen Zhengtai did not buy one acre of grain fields for fifty kilograms of grain, but only earned one acre of land for fifty kilograms of grain. The biggest difference is that grain fields are very valuable, but there are many kinds of land, some are mountains and some are hills... If this price was of course a jump price in previous years, it is now...

Wei Xuanzhen stared at Chen Zhengtai without saying a word.

Huang Chenggong understood the owner's intention, looked carefree and wise, and said to Chen Zhengtai: "Fifty kilograms of grain... According to me, eighty kilograms of grain can only be used."

Chen Zhengtai was happy: "Oh, since that's the case, then forget it. If the Wei family doesn't sell it, I'll go to the Du family."

When he heard this... Wei Xuanzhen was anxious.

Huang Chenggong immediately said: "Erpi County man, wait, let's talk about something."

Chen Zhengtai smiled.

The Wei family now needs food very much. This disaster is an excellent opportunity for the Wei family. Therefore, Wei Xuanzhen spoke out and was willing to sell 30,000 acres of land in the west of the city to trade with Chen Zhengtai.

As soon as Wei Xuanzhen opened the mouth of 30,000 mu of land, Huang Chenggong became anxious. He hurriedly looked at Wei Xuanzhen and whispered: "Thirty thousand mu... the food that can be exchanged is only 15,000 stones. The owner... is still too little. To make up for the previous losses of the Wei family... it is better to sell more. The land in the west of the city... is mostly barren... When the Wei family has enough food, just wait for the people in Guanzhong to wither, and then use the food to exchange for people and land, and then you will definitely make a big profit."

The abacus was well planned, but Wei Xuanzhen trembled. He became a little unconfident. This was too big. This was the land passed down by the ancestors. He hesitated to look at Huang Chenggong.

Huang Chenggong gave him a sure look and lowered his voice: "At this point, there is no way out. The west part of the city is already barren. The Wei family has more mountains and lakes. The food is the most valuable at present. The owner, a real man should be constantly silenced, but he will suffer the chaos. He wants to make up for the losses of the Wei family. This is the only way."

Wei Xuanzhen gritted her teeth: "Okay."

So he raised his eyes and continued to negotiate with Chen Zhengtai.

The contract was signed now, Chen Zhengtai wanted to see off the guests, and Wei Xuanzhen also planned to leave.

Huang Chenggong grabbed Wei Xuanzhen, then looked at Chen Zhengtai calmly and said, "Erpi County man, wait. Since the negotiation has been made, why not sign a contract early to deliver the food and land."

"So urgent?" Chen Zhengtai was surprised.

"The sooner the better. We will send the land deed, and the food... The Wei family will naturally come and transport it away today. Although it is getting late now, it must not be delayed. It is easy to protect the people. Within today, everyone will get things done and be at ease." Huang Chenggong's attitude was very firm.

His confidence made Wei Xuanzhen gradually become more convinced. I have to say that Mr. Huang is still very wise, and he has many dreams at night.
