Chapter 81: Absolute Counterattack
Since ancient times, there have been certain policies and countermeasures, and Wu Qingyuan has long expected that the rise of a new landlord will inevitably meet the suppression of the old landlords, and they are destined to fight this battle.
With his current financial resources, he could not compete with the joint efforts of several large landowners in Shiqiao Town, and blindly following the grain price reduction would only cause him to lose a lot in the end, and if the price of corn and potatoes was suppressed in the first release, it would be very unfavorable for long-term development in the future.
It doesn’t matter, the Qian family will reduce the price if he lowers the price, he has his own way to deal with them, and these people can’t blame him for being unrighteous.
No matter how lively and hot the price reduction of grain in the town is, Wu Qingyuan is not in a hurry, and the grain in the store continues to be displayed at the original price, without reducing a penny in the slightest.
Even when the price of rice decreased, regardless of whether anyone came to visit, whether the department store was empty because of the lack of goods, Wu Ji’s shop was open as usual, but there were only a few guys in the store, and everyone else went to Liushu Village to help Lin Shugen prepare for his marriage.
The Qian family and several large landowners were very puzzled by Wu Qingyuan’s actions, and sent people to inquire but did not find out if Wu Qingyuan had done other things to deal with them, but happily enjoyed his marriage with his husband every day, which was really strange.
October 29, the sky is clear, suitable for marriage, after busy pre-wedding preparations, the day when Lin Shugen and Jiang Zhu became married finally arrived.
Although this time, it is a remarrying, Lin Shugen is doing it as if it was his first marriage, and the whole thing is very beautiful, and he also borrowed Wu Qingyuan’s carriage to welcome his wife, it is not as pomp or as grand as a palanquin, but the meaning has also reached that level.
On the day of marriage, the entire Liushu Village was very lively.
Not only the villagers of Liushu Village came to drink Lin Shugen’s happy wine, but also some shop owners who had a good relationship with Wu Qingyuan, coal merchants who had interacted with the timber incident before also came to congratulate them, and the Xiucai who visited him before and had invited to the school to teach after the school opened.
Finally, Jiang Zhu’s friend, some of the girls and old bustards he had made in the Zuihua building also brought gifts to express their joy.
However, these people all know that their identity is not good, and they are not suitable to appear at the wedding banquet to greet Jiang Zhu, so after everyone brought the gifts, they entered the house and talked to Jiang Zhu for a while and left.
Under the bustle of everyone and the coaxing of the children, Lin Shugen smiled and worshiped Jiang Zhu, and Jiang Zhu under the hood was grabbed by his hand, and his body exuded joy and sweetness that could be easily felt.
After the worship hall, everyone began to drink and eat meat, and at this moment, a few big men carrying things hurriedly arrived at the door of Lin’s house.

With joy in his heart, he put down the wine glass and personally went out to greet him, “Brother Jiang has arrived, come, come in and drink wine and eat meat first, and we will talk about other things tomorrow.”
“Okay, good, we just arrived in Shiqiao Town, we are hungry, brothers sit, let’s not be polite with Brother Wu, hahaha.”
Jiang Da is also a bold person, hungry and not polite, beckoned the accompanying brothers to put down the congratulatory gift prepared when they received the news, and began to eat meat and drink alcohol.
The people in the village had also seen these people with Jiang Da when Zhou-ger got married last time, and they had a deep impression of them, knowing that these were ‘big businessmen’, and they were all curious and sighed in their hearts, Boss Wu really had face, and even these big businessmen who traveled south and north came to congratulate his father-in-law.
Everyone ate happily at the banquet that day, and they were drunk, but fortunately, there was room in Wu Qingyuan’s old house, and the surrounding neighbors helped borrow it, and settled Jiang Da and the others, who were drunk and unconscious, at night.
It was not until the next afternoon that Wu Qingyuan and Jiang Da began to talk about business.
The arrival of Jiang Da and others this time is naturally not a coincidence, nor is it as simple as a visit, the last time he negotiated with Jiang Da was precisely for the moment when the Qian family united with several major landlords to deal with him at this moment!
As early as when he first planted grain, he expected the current scene, as the grain in his hand, he did not think about selling all of it in Shiqiao Town this time, but was ready to sell it to Jiang Da, which he mentioned to Jiang Da when they were traveling. Jiang Da’s hometown is located on an island, and the most lacking there are rice grains, their cooperation is a win-win result.
“Brother Wu is an insightful person, these grains we cannot accept so forthrightly, we also brought a few ships of sea goods this time, if Brother Wu can accept it, us brothers will not go to work in other places, save strength and go home.”
The inland grain is very scarce in Jiang Da’s hometown, and this time the grain brought back will definitely make a big profit. Jiang Da is very happy in his heart, and he can’t help but give Wu Qingyuan a big gift.
“Thank you Brother Jiang for your help.”
Wu Qingyuan’s face was beaming, Jiang Da’s goods were won, and the situation of Wu Ji’s shortage of supplies would be solved.
“Brother Wu doesn’t need to say thanks, brother, I still have something to ask for, this grain transaction, I wonder if Brother Wu is willing to cooperate with this brother for a long time?”
Jiang Da was a businessman, and when he saw Wu Qingyuan’s grain, he instantly smelled business opportunities.
Them brothers have been running outside all these years, although the traveling merchant makes a lot of money, but the road is dangerous and he is not at home all year round, everyone is also getting older, and they can’t travel after a few years. They have long wanted to find a stable business to do, but they have never had a clue.
As long as Wu Qingyuan is willing to cooperate with them for a long time and provide them with food supplies, then they don’t have to run around, they can open a shop in their hometown that specialize in grain, and then they only need to come to Shiqiao Town once a year at the time of the harvest, without risking their lives to travel around the world.
Jiang Da’s request also coincided with Wu Qingyuan’s thoughts, and without any hesitation, Wu Qingyuan immediately clapped and signed a contract with Jiang Da and the others.
In the future, he will provide grain for Jiang Da while Jiang Da will provide him with seafood, and his Wu Ji department store will be transformed into a ‘seafood specialty store’. So what if the Qian family and several major landlords joined forces to cut off his source of groceries? His shop is still open!
At this time, Wang Dafu understood why Wu Qingyuan was not in a hurry, and he was so excited that he couldn’t help but clap his hands.
“Master, you are so clever! There are many grocery stores in the town, but there are none who specialize in selling sea goods, Mrs. Qian’s interruption of our supply has no effect at all, HAHAHA, Mrs. Qian, they really lost this time! They’ll break down again.”
Wang Dafu laughed and praised, he was really not just flattering his master now, he really admired his master too much, he was so prescient and prepared long ago.
“It won’t be just breaking them down, after suppressing me for so long, it’s time for us to fight back…..”
Wu Qingyuan sneered and ordered, “Don’t publicize this matter for the time being, you go and find some people tomorrow to go to the Qian family and those few landlord grain shops who have joined forces to suppress us to buy grain, buy as much as they want, don’t worry about silver. By the way, the news of the reduction of grain prices in Shiqiao Town should also be spread to the people in several towns next door.”
“Master, are you thinking of…”
Wang Dafu froze with a smile and held his breath.
If he had guessed correctly what his master meant, this time the Qian family would have succeeded in uniting several large landlords to suppress his master, but he was afraid that they would have to suffer heavy losses.
“You just go and do it, and there is one last thing, in three days, invite all the village chiefs of the villages we bought mountains off, and the next year we will not grow grain, but tea and medicinal herbs.”
Wu Qingyuan smiled lightly.
“！！！”
Almost at the same time as Wu Qingyuan’s words fell, Wang Dafu’s eyes widened sharply, and his heart was hit hard enough to stop beating.
It turned out to be tea! Medicinal herbs! It turns out that this is the real counterattack of the master!
He wondered many times, why the master was not in a hurry, why he only bought the hills and not the fields, so it was because of this!
Grain is a big business, but the profit of tea and medicinal materials is also not weak, grain, tea and medicinal materials, are the three giant businesses of the major landlords, the master not only wants to do grain- the Qian family and the major landlords suppressed the master, the master’s counterattack is to take away the life of these people!
Although it is impossible to force all the big landlords to a corner, in the future, the majority of interests in Shiqiao Town will definitely be occupied by his master with his means and temper.
They would be miserable, the arrogant Qian family and several big landowners have already been miserable this time, not only Shiqiao Town, but perhaps in the near future, the rich families of the entire Jiangyi County will have to shuffle their cards again!
Wang Dafu couldn’t suppress the surging excitement in his heart and wanted to jump up and cheer.
Just thinking about the future, he couldn’t help but go back to worship his ancestors, he chose the right master, his chips were placed right, even if Wu Qingyuan still had many problems unsolved, and wanted to fight with the big landlords of the entire Shiqiao Town. Wu Qingyuan’s biggest problem was his backing, but he didn’t doubt that his master definitely had a way to deal with it.
This time, the Qian family and the few big landlords are simply going to war with a clear attitude. If the master had a little preparation and confidence, how dare he do it?!
The surrounding slaves were also excited in their hearts when they listened, when the lord is noble, the slave is happy, when the lord is bitter, the slaves would be miserable, and the bright future of the Wu family represents their bright future.
Ending the conversation and instructions, everyone retreated and began to do things in an orderly manner.
Wu Qingyuan also went out alone again, ripening all the top tea seeds collected on the business road with Jiang Da and others for the first time into tea seedlings, and brought them back after doing so.
A week later, Wu Ji Department Store reopened and transformed into a shop specializing in the sale of seafood, the Wu family and the village chiefs signed a contract to help the tea garden and the medicinal herbs garden, and when the news that Zhou-ger’s coal kiln and various coal-burning retail households suddenly snatched half of the coal fire business in Shiqiao Town this year- when the news reached the ears of the major landowners, everyone could not speak one word, and fainted on the spot…
As soon as the traveling metchants came, I thought, he should go buy all the discounted grain! And then he did. XD
