Chapter 57 The passionate blood is not cold after all

You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. Some people are half-dream and half-awake, wanting to sleep on one side and then getting up.

This is a very contradictory manifestation, just like Yang Xuewen now is not averse to the style of merchants, gentry and others, but he also enjoys everything he has brought to him as a gentry class.

Liu Dongming stretched out his right hand out of the window, blew the ashes from the cigarette, then turned his head to look at Yang Xuewen and asked, "Brother Shi thinks we should return the money to those people? So that won't we feel guilty?"

But he just asked casually. Just when Yang Xuewen wanted to speak, he continued: "In Chongqing, the rice price of white flour was two cents, and almost all rice shops were sold under the sign of two cents per pound. But if you walk into the rice shop and ask, the guy inside will tell you that the rice has been sold out. And I can guarantee that any rice shop you go to will tell you that this way. So although every rice shop is strictly selling rice according to the government's orders, people can't buy rice in fact.

There are countless rice for sale in the black market, from aged rice to this year's small fragrant rice. However, the lowest price is 2 cents and 5 cents per kilogram. Brother Shi, you have studied, please tell me what's going on? How much has the government taken care of?"

"The government...the government has its own difficulties!" Yang Xuewen's face turned red, and finally squeezed out these words in his mouth.

After saying these words, he actually knew that he was quibbling.

The reason why Chongqing has high rice prices is that although it is affected by the general environment, it is essentially the result of collusion between officials and businessmen.

After all, whether it is Chongqing or Chengdu, or Hubei, which is close to Chongqing, they are all domestic granaries. Although the rice produced every year cannot be used nationwide, it is definitely not a small number.

But in this place where grain-producing food, rice prices are actually rising... To be honest, it is a joke to put it anywhere.

However, he really exists. Not only that, even the black market, which is almost buying and selling clearly, would have continued to exist if it were not for the emergence of Qinglong Rice Shop.

No one cares whether ordinary people can afford rice, nor do anyone cares about why rice prices remain high. From the chairman to the grassroots government officials, they all acquiesced to all of this happening as if they can't see or hear.

Liu Dongming shook his head and continued, "Maybe! But Brother Shi, you have to admit that because of our existence, you don't have to care about how much money we have made from it, but you have to admit that it is precisely because of the emergence of Qinglong rice shop in Chongqing that the rice price in Chongqing has dropped from two or five cents on the black market to one or five cents on the black market, almost doubled. We made money and the people have benefited. Do you think our approach is more beneficial than disadvantages?"

"But some people also suffer losses!" Yang Xuewen retorted.

He just didn't say that the people who suffered the losses were the eight major grain merchants!

Liu Dongming's appearance was actually a tiger's mouth to seize food, but he was lucky that the eight major grain merchants had strengthened the Qinglong rice shop before they could react and formed a certain influence.

Otherwise, ordinary people would have died many times if they intervened.

It is precisely for this reason that even if Liu Dongming touched the interests of those grain merchants, he received only some painless warnings, and he didn't dare to move a single finger.

But it has to be admitted that the eight major grain merchants have lost at least 30% of the benefits throughout the year.

Note that it is at least!

"Of course, I don't object!" Liu Dongming took the last sip of cigarette and popped the cigarette butt out the window. His whole body lay on the seat as if he had discharged his strength, and said with a smile: "So I transferred the losses to the eight major grain merchants, and I was worried that they would jump over the wall and then let them transfer their losses to the grain merchants in other places. In this way, I am good, the eight major grain merchants are good, and the people are better. Even if someone hates them, they won't hate me, right?"

"You...ah!" Yang Xuewen was stunned for a moment, and even forgot to turn the steering wheel. After a sudden brake, he asked indifferently: "Now Qinglong Rice Shop is closed, what are you going to do next?"

"Of course it's making money! I'm going to do the next business alone!" Liu Dongming lit a cigarette for himself and looked at the dark road outside: "But it's not to put aside your Yang family, but to cooperate!"

"I don't care about this, but my old man..." Yang Xuewen said hesitantly.

"So I'm just having fun with you first!" Liu Dongming smiled and said, "Simply put, I'm very short of money now, so I decided to make another profit, but this matter is a bit dangerous, you know!"

On the one hand, Liu Dongming had no intention of taking the Yang family to make a fortune. On the other hand, as he said, if his subsequent plans were implemented, it would be really very dangerous.

Even if he found a seemingly optimistic retreat for these grain traders in advance, it is difficult to ensure that someone will be anxious when the firewood is removed from the bottom of the pot.

At that time, there are probably no restrictions on the morality of the world and the laws of the government.

Only fight!

The undead group of people couldn't calm down at all.

This is a shopping mall, a shopping mall that is more dangerous than a battlefield!

Yang Xuewen didn't know Liu Dongming's follow-up plan, but after hearing what Liu Dongming said, he knew it was very powerful. He frowned and asked, "Do you want me to help?"

After all, he is a member of the military. Even if his position is low, he can still do it with thirty or fifty brothers to support him.

"Forget it, you'd better not get involved in this matter. In addition, the current situation is unclear. I think Brother Shi would better spend some time making friends with more people, maybe it will be useful one day!" Liu Dongming reminded Yang Xuewen by the way.

Next, China will usher in the most critical moment in the past thousands of years, that is, the anti-Japanese war!

And it is a joint anti-Japanese war!

At that time, the country was full of war, and a deputy company... was basically cannon fodder.

Especially the Sichuan soldiers were fighting on the forefront of the anti-Japanese war. Liu Dongming did not want Yang Xuewen to die, but it was not easy to say too much. He could only give a tactful reminder, hoping that he, a professional officer from the martial arts lecture hall, could survive.

However, if you don’t have a gun in your hand in this era, it is even more difficult to survive in this era.

"I will save this naturally. If I have the chance, I still want to go to the front line!" Yang Xuewen was silent for a while and slowly expressed his thoughts.

Although Chongqing is good, it is a world of fame and fortune. Although he has only been there for less than half a month, he seems to be trapped in a cage and cannot express his ambitions.

He was undoubtedly contradictory at this moment, and he wanted to settle down with the status quo, but he also wanted to serve the country and the people with the knowledge he had learned. Now that he finally dominated rationality, he said this.
