Shuttle between Two Worlds: Establishing Ancestral Family from the World of Nine Uncles

"Captain, Ping'an Town has a population of 70,000 to 80,000, with dozens of surrounding villages and nearly 100,000 people. It used to be very lively, but now..." Looking at the empty town, Ji Duan sighed, "The people are suffering and suffering.

The people are suffering, the government is busy fighting wars, and I don’t know when they will be able to think of the people they govern.”

Ji Ping saw that 90% of the shops lined up on both sides of the street were closed, which showed the lack of business. There were only a few pedestrians on the road, they must be wealthy people, at least they were not hungry.

Along the way, the bark of countless trees was chewed clean, and in some places there was even a tragic situation of eating dirt and cotton.

Seeing such a scene, Ji Ping was a little shaken by his original plan and thought to himself: "It will take three days at most. If these merchants don't release food, don't blame the clan leader for being rude."

Under the guidance of the three elders, Ji Ping and others arrived at a magnificent house with the two characters "Ren Mansion" engraved on the door plaque.

"The Ren family started their business by relying on opium and private salt. Later they started a grain business and became the richest man in Ping'an Town. Their wealth is unknown. It is said that they have hundreds of thousands in silver. We can just go to him directly." Ji Lili introduced, "

Without his consent, other merchants would not dare to accept our grain."

Ji Ping understood that with such a high profile, the Ren family seemed to have an unusual background and was one of the top local wealthy families.

Ergouzi stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the concierge came out. He was slightly surprised when he saw Ji Weili: "Elder of Jijia Village, why are you here?"

"Our clan leader wants to visit Mr. Ren, please let me know." Ji Weili smiled and took a few copper coins and handed them to the concierge.

"Oh, clan elder, you are so polite." The concierge then put the copper yuan into his sleeve pocket and said with a smile, "Everyone, wait a moment, I will go and report it now."

Although he is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister and the concierge of Master Ren's family, he has much more energy than the average person. He can send a message with a few copper coins, which is very cost-effective.

After about a few minutes, a short, fat officer came out with a cheerful smile.

"Three clan elders, distinguished guests. This young talent must be the new clan leader of the aristocracy? Please come in quickly." Mr. Ren greeted him personally. The businessman's pattern was indeed different. He patted Ji Ping's shoulder cordially and said,

Then he walked into the courtyard.

Ren's mansion is huge, and it was only when Ji Ping entered the courtyard that he discovered what was going on.

The fifth courtyard is lined with green trees, flowers blooming, rockeries, flowing water, carved railings and painted buildings, it is so grand.

I only saw more than ten maids and servants, and he was indeed the richest man in Ping'an Town.

This is the first time in Ji Ping's life that he has seen such a big shot. Fortunately, he is also the head of the clan now and still has some status.

"Tea." Mr. Ren led everyone into the front hall and ordered the maid to pour tea and water.

The tea is Pu'er, refreshing.

"Yiwu Pu'er, please give it a try." Mr. Ren took a sip from the teacup and asked.

Ji Ping took a sip and found that it was indeed good. It was much stronger than what he drank at Blue Star. It was indeed natural and good.

"Clan Chief Ji, the three clan elders, why do you want to find me here? Do you have business to cooperate with me?" Mr. Ren put down his tea cup and got straight to the point. He had many things to do in his business and didn't waste much time.

Ji Weili smiled and said: "Master Ren is a busy man, so I'll just say it straight away. We have a batch of old grain stored in Jijia Village. I wonder if Master Ren can eat it?"

"Oh? How much?" Mr. Ren suddenly became interested.

"Eighty thousand catties." Ji Weili said, "For the first batch, we are going to explore the road first. If you can eat it, we can continue in the future."

After listening to Ji Weili's words, Mr. Ren smiled happily: "Haha, you don't really believe Ren. Eighty thousand kilograms, no more, no less. If your village is serious about selling, I can give you this number.

"

As he spoke, Master Ren held out three fingers.

The third elder looked at Ji Ping, and it was ultimately up to him to make the decision.

Seeing the attitude of the three elders, Mr. Ren was shocked. He originally thought that the young Ji clan leader was just a puppet, but now he didn't look like that. He seemed to have real power.

"Mr. Ren, as far as I know, rice has risen to fifty copper yuan per catty. Is your price too low?" Ji Ping asked rhetorically.

Mr. Ren shook his head and said: "That's the selling price. I can't pay such a high price when I buy the goods. Everyone, the fixed price is thirty-five. If you don't agree, please go and ask elsewhere. As for shopping around, Ren doesn't object.

"

Ji Ping nodded slightly and said, "Yes, but I only want gold."

"Oh?" Mr. Ren was a little moved by Ji Ping's request. Gold in troubled times, this young man thought shrewdly, "No problem, I'll pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. Ren can send someone to get it now."

Everyone reached a consensus to avoid long nights and dreams, and Ji Ping agreed.

Master Ren directly asked the housekeeper to go to the grain store to gather people, and then rushed back to Jijia Village with Ji Ping and others.

One tael of gold, thirty oceans, and three thousand copper yuan. Eighty thousand kilograms of grain is 28,000 oceans, which can be exchanged for 933 taels of gold. Master Ren gave 935 taels with a wave of his hand!

Gold is a troublesome thing to circulate, but Mr. Ren is actually willing to exchange it for grain. After all, the price of gold fluctuates too much, and grain can only increase under natural disasters!

As for whether the people would go bankrupt, that was not his concern.

In Jijia Village, Jiang Li called Xiaotu to his side and said calmly: "Where did your young master get so much food?"

Although Jiang Li is Ji Ping's fiancée, Xiaotu is not a fool. He scratched his little head and said, "Young mistress, I don't know much about this. It seems to be the food stored in our village."

Jiang Li glanced at Xiaotu. Only a fool would believe this girl's lies. If Jijia Village had food in stock, none of the first few elderly people would starve to death.

"Could it be the Xuanyuan Sword? But how did he do it?" Jiang Li couldn't figure out the key. "I'll understand it after a month. Since the clan elders have sworn to it, they will definitely gain something if they think about it."

No matter where the food comes from, Jiang Li still admires Ji Ping for distributing it to the people. Not everyone can deal with money so calmly. The clan leader does not have the obligation to make selfless contributions.

Ji Ping was very happy to get 935 taels of gold. It was a hugely profitable deal!

He knew that this kind of business could not last and he had to seize this opportunity.

The Ji family members didn't have any special feelings when they saw the food being moved away. Now each family has two to three hundred kilograms of rice. They can save enough to last for a few months, so there is no need to worry. Besides, they have confidence in the clan leader, and they will definitely be able to get it.

Come more food.

Ji Ping saw Jiang Li not far away and didn't pay special attention to him. He saved his life and he could support him for the rest of his life. As for feelings, there was no such thing between the two of them.

There was food at home and he had no worries. After selling the food, Ji Ping returned to his bedroom and prepared to study the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic!
