Tang Zheng and Chen Jie traveled all the way from De'an to the capital, holding the banner of Cheng Jinzhou, without any obstruction.

Especially for Chen Jie, the case at the gate of the Liyuan made him go to the mine to hide. But now, the officials will not seriously check his identity, or they will pretend not to know if they find out.

The two of them each brought a team of people and started doing their own things when they arrived in Xia Jing. Tang Zheng mainly directed the tenants to harvest grain, while Chen Jie ensured that the grain would not be wasted, let alone stolen.

In fact, the normal planting pattern is that tenants grow food, keep some for themselves, and give the rest to the landlord. Even if Cheng Jinzhou makes repeated orders, no one will take it seriously. It seems to be a normal thing to bring some food home and try a few meals of new rice.

But when the grain is real rice, things change. When the gap is the largest, 1 catty of grain is actually equal to 128 catties of grain, not to mention the value beyond the price it represents. The tenants' casual taste tasting may cause several tons of grain to disappear. Tens of thousands of households are wasting their food for no reason. This is indeed a loss that Cheng Jinzhou is unwilling to bear - the small amount of food they eat will not even be able to use real rice. Effect.

On the other hand, tenants may be lazy during the harvesting process. They may be willing to waste a few kilograms of grain on the ground, during transportation, or during the threshing process - if it is hundreds of kilograms of grain. , they certainly can't do that.

Cheng Jinzhou demanded that all waste be eliminated, and not only should all food be recovered, but also real rice should not be allowed to others.

Chen Jie is not a person who is good at thinking, but his execution ability is the best among them all. Before the tenants harvested, he was ready to kill the chicken to show the monkeys - a simple and effective way of working, or it would not be an exaggeration to call it simple and crude.

He chose Shi Qiang, a landlord in Shizizhuang, which is closest to the capital. This small landlord had seven sons, but only had more than ten acres of land. So when there were enough people to farm the land, Shi Qiang rented his sons out. Go out and farm the land for others.

This is a common occurrence in densely populated areas. Children need to work hard for their future, but the sons of landlords are often far less diligent than ordinary tenants.

Of course, what they did was normal, but they didn't take Cheng Jinzhou's notice too seriously. Many people don't care about high-level officials, just like the government officials don't care about the requests from the political hall, the students don't care about the Ministry of Education, and the urban management doesn't care about the announcements from the Ministry of Public Security...

Therefore, when Chen Jie wanted to find trouble, he easily chose the Shi family and his son.

A long list of reasons will not make it clearer. Chen Jie only chose one: wasting food.

For this reason, he gave each of them thirty sticks, beat the three sons of the Shi family and Shi Qiang until their buttocks were bloody, and then toured several villages.

The Shi family were not ordinary tenants. They were small landowners with land and food. They were not gentry, but they had a higher status than ordinary farmers. It seemed even more surprising that such a family was beaten.

In addition, Chen Jie found one or two troublemakers in each village and received re-education with whips or wooden sticks.

The results he achieved were very good. When Tang Zheng's men patrol the village again, the rice fields and threshing floor must be clean. The villagers will never eat more than one mouthful of real rice.

It only took four days at most for two people to load the first batch of real rice on the ship. Regardless of whether they knew its true value or not, they paid for it with real money and silver.

It was not too late when Cheng Jinzhou met Zhenmi in De'an.

At this time, he had just decided to establish his own journal, and the existence of Zhenmi could be said to be like a timely rain.

The quantity of the first batch of real rice was not large. Two 60-ton ships delivered a total of more than 80 tons of grain. Cheng Jinzhou quickly organized people to sort it, but the amount of first-grade real rice separated was less than one ton.

Although it definitely won't fetch enough money, it would be enough for Cheng Jinzhou to use it as a bargaining chip.

He carefully recalled the transaction method with Ys, and then asked: "Mr. Ke, do you remember that you once said that regarding the exception clause, the main content is that I can guarantee to provide the Star Alliance with a certain amount of money within a certain period of time. Supplies, the Star Alliance seems to have an obligation to me..."

"That's to find you a reasonable reason for the transaction. It's the terms I found out to support you. If the current customer service doesn't recognize it, there's nothing you can do." Yissu destroyed his goal in one fell swoop. .

What the two people were talking about was the rights that Cheng Jinzhou had won from Yisu not long after he was promoted. It was also because of this that he obtained the real rice planting method and was able to plant this batch of real rice.

But at that time, Yisu hoped to support Cheng Jinzhou to become stronger - maybe he not only supported Cheng Jinzhou as an agent, but ultimately chose Cheng Jinzhou, which shows his tendency. But now, Buddha is working hard to suppress it.

Cheng Jinzhou said helplessly: "Now that I have real rice, I need a reason to convince Buddha. Do you have one?"

"There are not many low-level agents who can make demands on customer service. You are very lucky to have real rice. Don't think about good things."

Cheng Jinzhou didn't believe it. He recalled asking, "Customer service can't know exactly what's going on here, right?"

"Can't, so?"

"Can I know the previous conversations between you and me?"

"I deleted it."

"I understand, I'm going to call customer service." Cheng Jinzhou didn't answer and put his hand on the ring.

"Remember to sign a contract with him to ensure your best interests." The former customer service member drifted away depressed. He actually wanted to take a look, but unfortunately he didn't dare to take the risk.

Cheng Jinzhou waited for another minute before rubbing the ring away, waiting for Buddha to appear.

"What's the matter?" Two minutes later, Buddha appeared impatiently.

Cheng Jinzhou showed a pile of real rice behind him and said, "I found some special grains, maybe you know them."

Just like Ys once said, Zhenmi is not an ordinary thing to the Star Alliance. It may be a foundation, although it may not be an important foundation.

Sure enough, Buddha said "Hey", showed a strange look, and said: "A lot of real rice."

"Two options, I can exchange real rice directly for books at your price, or I can exchange real rice in my own world, and then exchange it with you for ordinary supplies." The latter might really allow Cheng Jinzhou to exchange for more. The number of words is higher, but it is not necessarily more helpful, and Dean's daily trading volume has reached its limit early, and he does not want people to notice too much about himself.

Buddha fell into thinking.

Being able to grow real rice, or the better Zhu rice and Long rice, is a sign that not only illustrates the development of a region, but also illustrates the scope of the agent's transactions.

He strictly restricted the merchants on Cheng Jinzhou's independent trading platform, but it was impossible to completely block the merchants, so he guessed that Cheng Jinzhou might have obtained real rice through some expensive method.

But no matter what, Zhenmi can indeed bring him a lot of performance improvement to make up for the hard work during this period.

So Buddha asked for the first time in a soothing tone: "How much real rice do you have?"

Cheng Jinzhou shouted in his heart, knowing that his strategy was successful again - asymmetry of information often leads to successful negotiations. This time, his information was more comprehensive than Buddha.

"I have tens of thousands of tons of real rice, which will be traded soon. I want to order books according to my own wishes with minimal randomness." Cheng Jinzhou stated his request. Finally, he remembered Yisu's words, Then he said: "We need to sign a contract."

"You supply me 10,000 tons of real rice. At the current price, we will sign a contract." Fo Ye made a self-righteous judgment, thinking that Cheng Jinzhou had exaggerated his real rice production. In the Star Alliance, there were not many places that could produce high-grade food. He had no intention of escaping, so naturally he would not scan all the areas and then look for a more suitable area like the former customer service did.

Therefore, Buddha is willing to sign a contract. If there is no 10,000 tons of real rice, he will get more benefits from it. Even if the contract is reached, he will not lose anything.

Cheng Jinzhou laughed, which was unexpectedly good.

In fact, many people have a similar mentality. In a fair transaction, if the other party proposes a specious higher condition, and if the high condition is accompanied by an ordinary condition of not losing money, most people will choose to trade, thereby allowing themselves to win. A fair deal that is not easy to achieve is easy to achieve. Maybe some people say that higher conditions are an opportunity cost, but in the case of unequal messages, it only sounds like it.

It's like a businessman selling foxes. He would say: "My fox may have fox fur, and their armpit hair is very expensive, but the price is the same regardless of whether the fox has armpit hair or not."

The buyer readily agreed, feeling that even if the fox had no fox fur, he would not suffer any loss. But in fact, the businessman had long known whether foxes had armpit hair, but he completed a deal that was difficult to complete and gained benefits.

In more hidden and complex transactions, people often overlook similar situations, and Buddha is no exception.

Cheng Jinzhou happily signed his name on the contract in the void, and also wrote his own requirements: "Each book is fixed at 10,000 words, and can be given up and repurchased. You can purchase it according to its approximate title."

Buddha crossed out the last sentence and said: "I can let you limit the era, location, or race, but when buying by name, you must give the complete original name and author, otherwise it is impossible."

"Deal. I want to buy it now." Cheng Jinzhou decided to buy many books and didn't care if they were too accurate.

“Where are your 10,000 tons of real rice?”

"Within a month, I will deliver you 10,000 tons of real rice, otherwise we will go according to the contract."

"That's a compensation of 1 billion star yuan, which you won't be able to afford in your lifetime." Buddha said with a smile on his lips.

"Let's get started." Cheng Jinzhou said with a dull expression: "I want books about white people in Europe in the 17th century."
