Chapter 439 Fu Qian Lias everyone knows, in the feudal era, the rich and the poor were uneven, the Imperial Court and the people had no food, that food Where did it go?
The answer is: rich and powerful.
Whether it is an official, a squire, or a wealthy businessman or aristocrat, as long as they are powerful and powerful, they will desperately hoard materials for profit.
Now is the year of disaster, food is more scarce than anything else, and in some extreme cases, the price is more expensive than gold and silver.
Moreover, the more popular the market is, the more it is necessary to raise prices.
Although Weiyang County does not produce food, there are always people who want to eat. With the convenience of the canal, one-tenth of the boats to and from the county can meet the rations of the whole county.
However, there is no surplus of grain in the homes of the common people, and the granaries of the government are also empty.
Where did the food go?
The truth is, it's amazing to be hoarded.
What Fang Dou wants to do is to 'rob the rich and help the poor'.
"Didn't expect, in Weiyang County, Shimen and Taoists still have power!"
Fang Dou took the dragon girl to a town.
Long Nv was quite bored and kept asking, "Yuan Yangzheng, you promised me that you would help me go to the world to find my father. When will it be fulfilled?"
Fang Dou's thoughts were interrupted. , explained patiently, "When I'm done with this matter, I promise to help you do it."
King Banshee in Monster Realm also wants to weave a feather coat to the sky. If he takes the dragon girl, it can be solved. this matter.
"Okay, I believe you!"
Fang Dou finished dealing with the dragon girl and thought about the Weiyang Taoist family.
This was also introduced to him by the prefect. It turned out that in Weiyang County, the famous religion was very powerful, but it could not completely break the inheritance of Shimen and Taoism.
Looking at the world, the three forces are balanced, and even if there are gaps in some regions, they cannot always dominate.
In Weiyang County, Taoists and Shimen were oppressed to the point that they could not preach openly, but the power was still there, but it was turned underground.
These two families are transformed into the secular world, just like ordinary people, but they worship Ancestor Master behind their backs and practice secretly.
Since he is so knowledgeable, the prefect will naturally turn a blind eye.
No matter how low-key a cultivator is, it is not difficult to succeed. See how Qilie can make a fortune by opening a fireworks shop!
Shimen and Taoists could not preach, they turned their energy into business, and they accumulated countless resources and wealth.
Most of the money hidden in Weiyang County is in the hands of these two families.
Right now, the grain in the porridge shed can last for three days, which is an extremely dangerous red line.
If there is no food replenishment within three days, the porridge shed will become a powder keg, and it will be fried at one point.
With so many victims gathered together, if they can't get enough to eat, if someone incites them, they will rebel on the spot.
"Mr. Yuan is a famous person recently, so what's the matter?"
The wealthy businessman in front of him is wearing a gold silk crown, money clothes, and fingers full of fingers. A gemstone ring, you can't be a philistine in a dress.
He laughed, his small eyes were lost, and his cheeks were shaking.
However, they are all ordinary wealthy businessmen!
Fang Dou was secretly sighed in his heart, if it weren't for the information of the prefect, who would have imagined that this person was a monk from Shimen!
Sure enough, all three have talents!
The wealthy businessman in front of him is not afraid of eating and drinking meat and alcohol, but in private he makes devout offerings to the Buddha and worships three times a day.
Half of the grain business in Weiyang County is in his hands.
If Fang Dou hadn't made a name for himself as 'Yuan Yangzheng', the other party might not be willing to meet him.
"Buy food!"
Fang Dou spit out two words, the wealthy businessman smiled and rubbed his hands, "I'm sorry, but there is no food in hand, you have gold and silver mountains, at this time Weiyang County I can't buy food either!"
Just kidding, even if the prefect came to his door, he would never even think about taking the food from him.
Now after the flood, the people are in turmoil, and even the prestige of the government has been greatly reduced.
At this moment, it is a great opportunity to shake the notice of famous sects. Even if some disaster victims die, so what?
The wealthy businessman said sincerely, "Mr. Yuan, I am also a native of Weiyang, and those who suffer are all my fellow villagers."
"No, I will send people to other places. Buy food, and you'll be back soon."
Soon?
Fang Dou laughed, "Even if you have food, I don't have gold and silver."
The rich businessman relaxed, "This way..."
"But, I have talisman money!"
Fang Dou spread out his palm, and there were three kinds of talisman money lying on it, namely peach wood, ox horn and jade.
The moment the wealthy businessman saw Fu Qian, his pupils condensed, "This is... Fu Qian!"
He couldn't help being careless, as soon as the Fu Qian came out, Dao Sect in the south became more and more powerful Now, many folk loose cultivators have defected.
On his side, in order to hide his power, he also raised a lot of folk loose cultivators. If he wants to continue to win people's hearts, gold, silver, pearls and jade are of little use, and he still needs money.
However, since he is a businessman, how could he have the opportunity to raise money?
"Mr. Yuan, how much talisman money do you have?"
A wealthy businessman is excited. No matter how much gold, silver, money and food are, it is also a secular wealth. If you want to gain great influence, you still need talisman money. .
Fang Dou laughed heartily, "I have talisman money, see if you can get enough of the food!"
Just kidding, standing in front of you is the talisman money issue one of the people.
Today's Fang Dou is a humanoid self-propelled cultivation money printing machine.
On this day, a wealthy businessman, Closed Door Politely Declining Visitors, had a long discussion with Fang Dou.
In the end, both parties were satisfied with the result.
When Fang Dou left, the wealthy businessman saw off the guests in front of the door, bowed and said, "The first batch of grain has been transported on mules and horses to the designated location."
"The remaining batches of food will be delivered within a month!"
Fang Dou saluted with both hands, "So, many thanks!"
Leaving the rich merchant, Fang Dou thought to himself One more to go.
Shimen, behind the wealthy businessman, has enough food in his possession, but there is also the issue of raising money.
The disaster victims can't wait too long. Right now, a batch of food is urgently needed. The wealthy businessmen have hurried to raise it, and only half of it is less than half.
"The Taoist side, let's go too!"
Fang Dou came to the door, but didn't expect that the other party already knew, and specially waited for him to come.
"Mr. Yuan, how much money do you have?"
Fang Dou was slightly startled, then relieved. It seems that the other party has heard about him raising food from Shimen.
The representative of Taoism showed a proud expression, "Mr. Yuan, you are a member of the famous religion, you should know that the money is my Taoist thing."
"Haha, Famous teachers need to use my Taoist talisman money to do things, so be happy!”
Perhaps they have been oppressed for too long, the Taoist people of Weiyang County are also proud and resolutely agree to Fang Dou’s request to buy food. In the end, naturally The same is paid in talisman money.
Fang Dou made two trips to raise enough food.
While the prefect was in office, he could not raise food from the two families, but he managed to do it.
The fundamental reason behind this is that talisman money plays a role.
Fang Dou never imagined that talisman money has developed to such a point that it has become a recognized currency in the cultivation world.
Both Shimen and Taoists, by default, talisman money is a hard currency in circulation.
Moreover, after this time to buy food, it is conceivable that the famous masters in Weiyang County, who have no idea that Fu Qian is so powerful, have to secretly hoard some.
"Hey, I don't know, what kind of monster do I create for Taoism?"
