On August 10, 1940, the "rice price turmoil" officially broke out in the Shanghai Public Settlement!

The reason this time is because of the rising rice prices.

The trigger came from a small wonton shop.

Many Shanghai residents found that the rice noodles they spent a lot of money to buy had a large amount of grass ash and sand seeped into them.

This is simply adding insult to injury.

But some people feel strange.

I didn’t find any grass ash or sand in the rice noodles I bought a few days ago. Why did they suddenly appear?

However, the public sentiment was raging, and those doubts were instantly drowned.

The first to be unlucky was Dayu Rice Store.

This rice shop is not big and does not have the ability to farm rice on a large scale.

The rice and noodles they sell are wholesaled from large trading houses, and then sold to surrounding residents at a higher price.

Their main customers are Shanghai residents centered around Jing'an Temple and Lanzi Lane.

After the accident, they were the first to be targeted.

Dozens of citizens who suffered the disaster were encouraged to go to Dayumixing to confront him.

But when they arrived at Dayumeixing, they found that the group had grown to hundreds of people.

Many of them are completely unfamiliar faces.

No one cares.

Everyone thinks that this is probably someone who was deceived, right?

Of course, the boss of Dayu Rice Store tried his best to deny it.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a thin man suddenly jumped out from among the protesting citizens, pointed at the boss's nose and yelled curses.

A waiter was worried that his boss would be injured, so he stood in front and pushed the man.

Unexpectedly, the man fell to the ground immediately.

"Hitting people! Beating people!" Several voices suddenly rang out from the protesting crowd: "Dayumixing is beating people, the black-hearted boss is beating people!"

"Kill them, beat them to death!"

"Smash this evil shop, smash this evil shop!"

The crowd suddenly became confused.

Dozens of people rushed forward.

The rest of the citizens, who originally came only to protest and demand exchange of rice and noodles, were also trapped in it.

Just two guys couldn't stop the angry crowd.

Protesting citizens rushed in.

Dayu Mihang was suddenly smashed.

The boss of Dayu Rice Shop wanted to stop but didn't dare, and kept pleading with distress.

But his voice was quickly drowned out.

Strangely enough, among the rice noodles found in the rice row, grass ash and sand were actually found.

The boss is incomprehensible.

You obviously checked it yourself?

How could that happen?

"Kill this boss, beat this black-hearted boss to death!"

The citizens found out the real evidence and were completely outraged.

At this time, someone else shouted: "Their rice and noodles are all from Fujin Rice Line. Little Japan won't let us live anymore. Let's go and settle the score with Fujin Rice Line!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

All the people, in a furious mood, rushed out of Dayu Rice Store and went straight to Fujin Rice Store.

Half a life's hard work was wiped out in an instant, and the boss wanted to cry but had no tears.

There were only two clerks in the store, one took advantage of the chaos and ran away, leaving only one clerk named Feng who was recruited just two days ago.

"Boss, don't be sad." Brother Feng suddenly took out a check from his pocket and handed it to the boss: "Let's go and find some other business. If you want to survive, don't ask about this matter.

Don’t say it either.”

After saying that, Brother Feng quickly left the rice store.

The boss took a look at the check and found that the number on it far exceeded his losses.

In an instant, he understood completely.

This guy was recruited a few days ago, and then?

He understands, really understands.

"If you want to survive, don't ask about this matter, and don't say a word!"

What Mr. Feng just said still rings in my ears.

The boss received the check and vowed that he would never do the rice and noodle business again.

And this matter will be rotten in his stomach forever.

There are some people and forces that he can never afford to offend.

Fortunately, although the rice store was damaged, the compensation he received had already exceeded the value of the rice store itself.

This is probably a blessing in disguise for him.

If you want to blame, blame this war.

…

"Director Meng, let's begin."

"oh."

Meng Shaoyuan put down the book in his hand.

Qi Xuezhen took one look and suddenly looked contemptuous.

***!

Forget about being lustful, the books I read are all like this.

Qi Xuezhen composed herself: "Whether it will cause a huge trend, we are not sure yet."

"Yes, I will."

Meng Shaoyuan showed a smile on his face: "People are blindly obedient, especially in group activities. Once someone instigates, most people will be involved. The price of rice in Shanghai has been high for a long time.

Most of the people are living in poverty and are already dissatisfied. They need a way to vent their dissatisfaction, and we provide it to them. What's more..."

He glanced at Qi Xuezhen: "Shanghai's industrial and commercial community, banking industry, etc., we have helped them a lot. Now, it is time for them to repay us."

Although Qi Xuezhen despises District Chief Meng in her heart, even if she only reads books like this, she is still convinced by one thing.

Everything is under the control of this young master.

He is still his own teacher.

I learned a lot about psychology from my teacher.

If the teacher could change his lustful habits...

Qi Xuezhen didn't know what his teacher was thinking at this time.

This student is getting more and more beautiful, and his figure is getting better and better.

Last time I acted stupid and just took advantage of her.

When can we get her?

For a pervert, you can never expect him to change his ways.

…

Meng Shaoyuan said something right:

People are collective, and once there is agitation, the emotions that have been accumulated in the past will explode.

This also leads to "group crimes" in the future.

Of course, the citizens of Shanghai are not committing crimes.

They just need a channel to express their dissatisfaction.

Since the outbreak of the war, commodity prices, which had been very well under control, have skyrocketed.
