In front of them was a huge compound pigeon cage.

Apart from some older people who are taking care of the pigeons, there is no one else around.

At this time, a person who looked like a steward came over, and he came up and played sign language directly.

Jia Xiaowu quickly replied with sign language, and the steward went to the pigeon cage, found a servant, and brought a pigeon.

"Madam, please see, this is our Jia family's pigeon." Jia Xiaowu opened the left wing of the pigeon, flipping the feathers at the tip of the wing.

Wen Qingzhu looked at it intently, and there were faint traces on it.

At this time, Jia Xiaowu took out a bottle of potion and smeared it under the wings of the pigeon, and soon a few words appeared on it.

Ninety-two A.

Wen Qingzhu felt that this might be a way, and looked directly at Jia Xiaowu and listened to him explain: "This is the number of the pigeon, in every place where there is a grain store, there will be such a pigeon cage, and the message will be transmitted at a fixed time every day." ”

"But the pigeons don't always arrive safely and on time?" Wen Qingzhu asked.

Jia Xiaowu waved his hand and asked the servant to bring four other pigeons.

After pulling the wings and applying the potion, they appeared: ninety-two B, ninety-two C, and ninety-two D.

"In order to ensure that the message arrives on time, we arrange for four pigeons to deliver the same message each time, which is tested and experienced, and can minimize the problem of untimely messages."

After listening to his words, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but nod, the palace also had a similar message transmission.

However, for the sake of insurance, most of them arrange Maxima to use the post station transfer to transmit quickly and safely.

It's just that these businessmen can't use so much power, so they naturally look for another shortcut.

Wen Qingzhu still thinks that this method is very practical.

It's just that once this location is exposed, it is easy to be tampered with.

At this time, Wen Qingzhu looked at those servants and said, "They are all deaf and mute, aren't they all congenital?" ”

"Yes." Jia Xiaowu unexpectedly found that Wen Qingzhu was not very angry.

After all, the need for this news transmission point costs a lot of manpower and financial resources.

The most important thing is to prevent the pigeon from becoming a traitor, and most of them will become deaf and mute, either passively or actively.

It is estimated that he will be locked up here for the rest of his life.

Wen Qingzhu was about to speak, and the eyes that looked at Wang Chi from the corner of his eyes had changed.

She looked ahead, but knew that this was just the beginning.

Turning around, they went to the transfer room again, and the people who worked here were all in wheelchairs.

They could talk, but it was clear that their actions were more powerful.

Wen Qingzhu didn't say much else, only said: "Go directly to see the news sent from Lingcheng." ”

"Okay." Jia Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief.

Their practice of trapping their subordinates is actually breaking the law.

When he arrived on the second floor, Jia Xiaowu came over with several volumes of letters.

According to the number above, Wen Qingzhu vaguely guessed that the news from the Lingcheng side was only broadcast live.

It was only after she opened the letter that she found that the text on it did not seem to be a normal statement.

Jia Xiaowu explained: "This letter has also been encrypted according to certain rules, such as this one. ”

He spread a scroll of letters on the table, and the bluegrass at the top said, "This means two, which means that the message should be read at two intervals." ”

Wen Qingzhu made a name for himself and immediately began to read the news.

The letter read: The price of grain has risen to 30 wen a catty, and the lowest soybean meal is also 10 wen a catty. ”

"It seems that the situation in Lingcheng is not optimistic." Wen Qingzhu said involuntarily, and then said, "You read these messages to me usefully, I am not used to such a complicated way of transmitting messages by you for the time being. ”

"Okay."

Jia Xiaowu began to read the letter constantly, whether he said a few valuable news.

"Jing Yinuo personally came forward and went to meet the big shopkeeper of the Shen family firm in Lingcheng."

"Grain has begun to go through internal channels, and there is no grain for sale in the market."

"There are more and more people hoarding goods, and the Shen family's actions are getting faster and faster."

"Someone questioned it, and then it disappeared."

Suddenly, Jia Xiaowu looked at the letter in his hand for a moment.

Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look at her: "What's wrong?" ”

"Cousin has news!" Jia Xiaowu's face suddenly became feverish.

Wen Qingzhu frowned slightly, and Jia Xiaowu stammered: "Tang, cousin said, I hope that Mrs. will be counted, he, he said that he hopes to completely squeeze out the status of the richest man in the Shen family before Master Shen passes away." ”

"Huh!" Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but chuckle, "His appetite is not small!" What is the situation of the Shen family, doesn't he know better than me! ”

Cold sweat broke out on Jia Xiaowu's forehead, and he kept wiping it with his hands: "Yes, cousin, it's probably a joke." ”

Wen Qingzhu glanced at him sideways, not dwelling on this issue.

She asked: "I want to know the structure and income of your Jia family's profits, especially in the second half of last year and recently." ”

Hearing this question, Jia Xiaowu's legs were a little weak.

But he had to face the scalp and say that his cousin had confessed that he could hide the truth a little, but it couldn't be too outrageous, at least five points true.

Jia Xiaowu began to speak slowly, and Wen Qingzhu and Wang Chi both listened calmly.

After a while, Wang Chi's teeth creaked, his hands clenched into fists, and the sound of bone joints clattering kept coming out.

In the end, Jia Xiaowu was already sweating profusely, and his voice trembled: "Finally, last year's net profit, if this is silver, is it...... It was more than two ,300,000 taels of silver. ”

With a bang, Wen Qingzhu slapped the table fiercely!

Jia Xiaowu suddenly knelt down, and he didn't dare to come out.

Wen Qingzhu couldn't stop taking a deep breath and trying to calm his mood.

I really didn't expect that the net profit of a small Jia family in a year would be so high! A small bookstore

A rough calculation shows that there is one-fifth of the annual income of the state treasury.

Wen Qingzhu looked down at Jia Xiaowu, according to Jia Xiaoer's temperament, he would definitely not really tell her.

There is a high probability that it only told seventy out of eighty percent.

However, in this case, according to Jia Xiaowu, the Shen family's annual net profit is only more than double theirs.

Unlike the Jia family, the Shen family's expenses may be more.

But it still can't hide the amazing wealth displayed behind the Shen family.

After almost two quarters of an hour, Wen Qingzhu finally calmed down, it seems that the battle with the Shen family is really a long-term war of attrition!

Just as she was about to speak, Wang Chi suddenly turned her head and left the room.

But he didn't go far, but stood in the doorway, trembling all over, trying to endure something.

Looking at his back like this, Wen Qingzhu thought to himself, probably he needed a while to calm down his three views that were so stimulated that he was shattered.

Wen Qingzhu said in a deep voice: "Get up, it seems that Boss Jia dares to say these words, and he still has some confidence." ”

"It's okay, it's okay! The villain is comfortable on his knees! Just kneel! Jia Xiaowu was terrified at this moment, how dare he stand up and speak.

Wen Qingzhu is not reluctant, the attitude of the Jia family is indeed okay.

The next thing to do is to break the market!

Didn't Jiang Yuancheng want to raise the price?

Then she will accompany him to the end!

Soon, Wen Qingzhu made a decision and wrote a letter for Jia Xiaowu to help send it over in their way.

When transferring, Jia Xiaowu was terrified.

This is a bit too bold!

However, this is Wen Qingzhu's decision, and he is a small businessman in charge, and he can't interfere with anything.

Even if his cousin thinks that this method is not good now, Wen Qingzhu will not dare to disobey all the orders.

After learning about the actual situation of the Jia family, Wen Qingzhu felt more and more that the businesses that Zhongbo and the others did were deliberately leaked out by these big businessmen.

Wen Qingzhu also vaguely understood why salt and iron had to be controlled.

Iron is related to the stability of the territory of Daqi, but salt is related to the stability of the people's lives.

The letter was quickly delivered overnight.

When Wen Qingzhu left Jia's house, it was already dark.

On both sides of the road, torches are still lit, and some workers are working.

They rode in a carriage, and Wen Qingzhu specially called Wang Chi into the carriage.

As the carriage started, she asked him, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Chi didn't speak, he didn't know what to say now.

He has always believed in good people and good rewards, but what he sees now is not like this at all.

He's already trying to change, but he still can't accept it.

From this snow disaster, I saw the inaction of the government with my own eyes, and now I know the shocking profits of the merchants.

Just because of the time difference in the news, and their wholehearted pursuit of profits, can they do this?!

Shi Nong Gong and Gong are all ordinary people.

But it looks like the position of the quotient should be ranked second!

Wen Qingzhu looked at him all the time, and saw that Wang Chi's eyes darkened and darkened.

She didn't have much to say at this time, but when she thought of the incident in her previous life, she felt that she couldn't let Wang Chi go on like this.

And most importantly, the other teenager, why did she keep finding news of him?

During the night, it began to snow heavily.

Xue Miaomiao left from Liang Pingshu's side and insisted on not letting people send it.

Even though she was sore now, barely able to stand firm, she still stubbornly wanted to go out and walk around by herself.

In addition to teaching her etiquette and rules, in order to go further, Liang Pingshu also taught her to respect and inferiority.

During this period, Liang Pingshu was in contact with the capital of Los Angeles, and she did not shy away from some things.

When Xue Miaomiao heard this, she felt that she had walked into a dead end.

She didn't understand why King Li Weining framed the Yang family, but he could only let Li Weifu after more than ten years.

The affairs of the Yang family, because of her cousin, Xue Miaomiao knew about it.

King Ning, as the prince, can completely dissociate himself?

My cousin and brother-in-law already have so much power, but they still don't dare to openly disobey the emperor's will.

Is this what is right?

Xue Miaomiao walked in the snow one deep and one shallow, and a layer of snow fell on the hood unconsciously.

Suddenly, a dog barked ahead.

Frightened, she immediately came back to her senses, and when she looked up, there was a kennel in front of her.

There was a thin boy squatting on the ground, holding a rice bowl in his hand, pouring something into the enamel basin in front of the kennel.

The dog spotted her and barked wildly.

The young man also turned around, and Xue Miaomiao could see at a glance that it was the coarse linen clothes of the inn running hall, and there was a white towel on his shoulder.

"There's an inn here?" Xue Miaomiao couldn't help but look around.

As a result, I saw the backyard of the inn next to me.

Coincidentally, the window of the room on the second floor opened, revealing a familiar face.

Xue Miaomiao couldn't help but speak: "Pei Gongzi? ”
