Seven Beautiful Wives At The Beginning: Sorry, I Am Invincible

Half a month later, Luo Cheng's complexion suddenly turned dark and he looked very ugly when he saw the prices more than tripled.

He has only retreated for half a month, and the prices in the city are even higher than during the war. Is this an attempt to rebel?

At this moment, the Prime Minister at the side was suppressing a smile when he saw the city lord's appearance. Seeing this, Luo Cheng couldn't help frowning, and asked in a cold voice

"what are you laughing at?"

Hearing this, I saw the Prime Minister bowing and answering loudly

"The city lord's methods are brilliant, which is rare in the world. It's been a long time since I have served as the general manager of the city lord's mansion."

As soon as this remark came out, Luo Cheng was even more confused. He has been practicing in seclusion for half a month. What does it have to do with the three times higher prices? And the prices are so high, you still say he is a Mingjun? At this moment, Luo Cheng couldn't help but wonder if the Prime Minister had lost his mind.

Fortunately, the Prime Minister quickly answered

"Originally, I was still wondering why you handed over the token of the city lord to that Mo Fei. He is just a mere scholar. Now that I think about it, everything should be your plan. You used Mo Fei's hand to suppress the Lou family and the Gongsun family. .”

"Mo Fei also lived up to your instructions. He spread all kinds of gossip and completely confused the originally clear situation in the city. Now there are various legends circulating in the city, but all of them praise your wisdom."

"Winter is coming, and everyone is preparing to start recuperating. You abruptly stirred up all the families and started buying all kinds of items. While the price of goods in the city has skyrocketed, it has little impact on the lower-level residents."

"They have already prepared food and clothing for winter, but the acquisitions of the major families have increased a lot of labor, and the low-level residents are now making a lot of money."

"The major families have even dispersed at least half of their wealth to hoard supplies. It is a miracle that you have let the major families empty out half of their wealth by recruiting troops without bloodshed. I am afraid that no one will be able to replicate your miraculous operation."

The Prime Minister's flattery jingled, but Luo Cheng became more and more confused. He couldn't understand what the other party said at all. Born as a general, he only knew how to fight the enemy. Obviously, he can't understand the words of the prime minister now.

But he pretended to understand, nodded slightly, and then said in a flat tone

"It seems that this Mo Fei is doing pretty well. I have someone invite him to the City Lord's Mansion. I have something to discuss with him."

Hearing this, the Prime Minister smiled faintly and bowed.

"Mo Fei knew you were leaving customs today, so he came early in the morning and waited, and he is in the reception hall right now."

It was said that Luo Cheng also came to the reception hall alone. Sure enough, Mo Fei was sitting in the reception hall at this time, knocking melon seeds, and the melon seed shells on the table were piled up into a mountain. Not short.

After taking a look at Luo Cheng Mo Fei, he also got up and bowed slightly.

"The city lord!"

Sitting directly beside Mo Fei, Luo Cheng asked in a cold voice

"Prices in the city are soaring, you should have a way to bring them down?"

Hearing this, Mo Fei smiled lightly and said

"Naturally, the price has tripled within half a month, but it's just a fake price. It's easy to solve. But the city lord needs help."

Taking a look at Mo Fei, Luo Cheng was also a little surprised. Hearing Mo Fei's tone, it seems that this matter is easy to handle, so he couldn't help asking with a slight frown.

"You really have an idea?"

Mo Fei nodded slightly, then said

"Of course, give me half a month, no! Just seven days!"

Seeing that Mo Fei is so confident, Luo Cheng can only choose to believe, anyway, no matter how bad the situation is, it will only double again. Fortunately, the people have already hoarded food for the winter, even if it is doubled, the impact on the people will not be high.

Looking at Mo Fei, Luo Cheng asked slowly

"What is your method?"

I saw Mo Fei smiled and said

"It's very simple, I need military rations, including seasoning."

Hearing this, Luo Cheng couldn't sit still for a moment, and shouted:

"Bold, are you crazy? Military rations are the foundation of the country, how can you use them without permission? In case of war, where will you go to find military rations for me?"

He waved his hand to signal him to calm down, seeing the face tightened, Mo Fei said slowly

"Don't worry, it's going to be cold winter. Where did the war come from? Besides, even if the war starts, the surplus food in the city can last three years of bloody battles. You should know that the major families have stored a huge amount of food For this reason, they did not hesitate to sell merchants in the fringe areas of the city."

"With such a huge amount of food, it can even be said that there is still enough food in the city until the last person falls in the battle. What else do you need to be afraid of?"

Hearing this, Luo Cheng sat down slowly, stared at Mo Fei and asked

"Do you really have a way to lower prices?"

Nodding, Mo Fei said

"There is indeed a way."

Seeing this situation, Luo Cheng could only take a gamble, and said

"That's fine, I will tell the people in the military depot that you can transfer the food in the depot as you like, but you have to pay for it!"

Hearing this, Mo Fei also nodded and said

"No problem, but the price should be lower. Your warehouse is full of old grain, and you need to sell it to me at 50% of the purchase price. You can't sell me the old grain as new rice, can you?"

The more he looked at Mo Fei, the more Luo Cheng felt that this guy was not like a scholar, but more like an experienced businessman, or a profiteer.

Silence for a while, Luo Cheng said

"Up to 20% off!"

"40% off!"

"30% off, can't be changed!"

"That's okay, 30% off, 30% off, just treat it as a loss for me, thank you, the city lord!"

Looking at Mo Fei who seemed to have suffered a great loss, Luo Cheng also frowned, and waved his hands with a cold snort.

"Go, for seven days, if the prices don't drop, you'll be the one to watch."

Smiling, Mo Fei didn't say much, turned around and left after bowing and saluting.

As a result, in less than half a day, the Prime Minister ran into the study with an anxious expression on his face.

"It's not good, it's not good!"

Seeing this, City Lord Luo Cheng also frowned and asked

"What happened?"

Will he sell the military rations on the front foot, and the northern nomads will come on the back foot?

I saw the Prime Minister gasping for breath and saying intermittently

"Go and have a look, something happened to the military grain depot."

As soon as Luo Cheng heard that it was the military grain depot, Luo Cheng's brows loosened immediately, and said lightly.

"It's just a little ration, I sold it to Mo Fei, it's okay."

The Prime Minister shook his head again and again and said,

"No...all the military rations were bought by that kid, including the new rations that just went into storage this year...."

"What!"

Luo Cheng was taken aback for a moment, that's enough food for the whole city for two years. Is this kid crazy to buy so much food?

On the other side, the major families also gathered together for an emergency meeting, and all the faces were ugly. Unexpectedly, they were all bullied by Mo Fei.

They abruptly bought a large amount of food and other supplies, but Mo Fei just transported a large amount of firewood and charcoal from outside the city back to the city and piled them up in his trading market.

How much is that thing worth? Even if it fills the entire trading market, it is only a few thousand taels of silver, and every family has a lot of reserves. Once the cold winter is over, this thing can't afford the price at all, and no one wants to throw it on the street.

But Mo Fei pretended that these were grains, and made a big fanfare so that they had to buy grains at a high price and compete with them. I thought this would be the end of it, but now Mo Fei has really brought in a large amount of food...
