Chapter 141: Burning Kang's Store

ps: It's quite sad. Although I knew that Sanjiang was hopeless after I was defeated, I didn't even get a strong push. I'm so ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3!

The store of Kangjia Grain Store is very large and very busy, with people coming and going. Zhao Liang, who had changed his appearance, quietly slipped in. No one noticed it, and then quietly flashed into the space, no one seemed to notice it.

Only then did Zhao Liang have the time to really observe the store.

He seemed to be very leisurely at the beginning, but in fact he was very nervous. His eyes were flashes and he didn't really remember them in his heart.

Now that I look at it, I really realize the scale of Kangjia Grain Store. It is really not too big!

There are rows of grain and rice cabinets arranged in the huge storefront, from high-quality glutinous rice, fine rice, white flour, to coarse grains such as sorghum, soybeans, millet, and even potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes. The list hanging high also contains the words "Yutian green stem rice", "Rouge rice", Zengcheng silk rice, Xiangshui tribute rice, Zhuxi tribute rice and other top-quality rice.

Sure enough, I am worthy of the No. 1 Grain Store outside Zhengyangmen and the richest man in Hedong. I am really powerful enough.

It’s fine if you have ordinary rice and flour, but the key is that you really can’t get the tribute rice without any way or money.

For example, Zhao Liang wanted to get some real good things after he became rich, but unfortunately, many good things are really unavailable even if he had money.

"It's a pity that it's going to burn it!"

Zhao Liang sighed in his heart.

He didn't think that those good things would be placed in large quantities by the Kang family in the hall. Although people came and went, they were all ordinary people. If you had spare money to sell tribute rice, they were either high-ranking officials or wealthy families. Where did you need to come here? He called the Kang family and took the initiative to deliver them to the door. Isn't there no friends in the grain store?

In addition to selling scattered grain, Kangjia Grain Store also conducts wholesale at the same time, and there are several counters specially used to collect grain.

Well, those Eight Banners men in the inner city have so many hardcore crops every year, and they can’t finish eating the food that is too much. In addition to leaving some of the necessary items, the rest is sold to grain shops of all sizes in the capital. This is already one of the most important sources of food for hundreds of thousands of people in the outer city of the capital.

Kangjia Grain Store specially set up a storefront to collect grain.

Zhao Liang looked at the people coming and going outside in the space, thinking about the size of Kangjia Grain Store. The horizontal section of the grain store is three rooms wide in the horizontal section, and with the spans on both sides, you can imagine how big its backyard is. There is also the oil shop of Kangjia next to it. Since ancient times, grain and oil have not been separated.

If you want to burn it, it will add fuel to the fire.

The warehouse in the backyard of the grain and oil shop is also full of grain and oil.

It is said that the Kangjia Grain Store stores less than tens of thousands of stones of grain all year round. Every day, a large number of cattle and horse carriages transport the grain outside and then sell it out.

This is a complete industrial chain. The Kangjia has its own downstream industrial chain. The latter collects grain and sends it to the Kangjia, and then the Kangjia will retail or wholesale it.

The same is true for oil, and the Kang family produces itself is limited after all.

His old nest is in Hedong. From Hedong to the capital, the cost along the way is too high, regardless of land or water.

I just don’t know how many innocent people this fire will affect!

But no matter how many innocent people will be affected, Zhao Liang also made up his mind today.

Those who accomplish great things are not focused on the details. He was really careless in the past and even thought that it was just a quibbling of the superiors about their own behavior, but now he is really engraved into his bones.

It’s not that people who “do big things” really don’t care about “small matters” anymore, but reality forces them not to care. Over time, they will be afraid that they will really ‘ignor’!

Zhao Liang felt this very clearly. Isn’t he gradually evolving now?

Two days later, there was no movement in Kangjia Grain Shop. Zhao Liang flashed out of the space, holding two large oil tanks in his hand. The oil stored in his space came in handy today.

With the northwest wind blowing every day in the capital, the entire grain store must be burned out.

A jar of soybean oil, peanut oil and castor oil were sprinkled in the hall, and the whole space was filled with a strong aroma of oil.

Zhao Liang's clothes seemed to be soaked in the fragrance of oil.

"Burn, cook!"

Only when the vibration is strong and the effect is good if it is burned!

As for how many innocent people this fire will affect, Zhao Liang had no idea at all, and he was thinking about all good things.

The fire was surging, and with the northwest wind at night, it was even more out of control.

Zhao Liang had already hid in the space, and could hear loud and small shouts outside, crying at his father and mother.

With the help of bugs, he was so easy to do such small moves in secret. The trials over the years have added him rich experience on-site.

Although I have done a great job, it is actually very easy and easy!

But he was relaxed, but the Kang family was not relaxed.

Since the Lianghuai Salt Cases in the 33rd year of Qianlong, Yangzhou salt merchants have undergone a major reshuffle, and the Kang family's business in Lianghuai was completely ruined. Although Kang's family still has a place in the Hedong Salt Field, the Lianghuai Salt Industry was cut off, which is equivalent to cutting off one of the Kang's thighs.

The Kang family has suffered a lot of losses.

Such Kang's family has paid more attention to the business of the Beijing Grain Market.

But I didn’t expect that I would have suffered a great disaster today!

This fire will probably burn all the Kangjia Grain Store, and I don’t know how many stores it will affect. The losses it already has, plus the compensation for those who are affected, Kang’s will have to bleed again.

The third master of the Kang family who was in charge of the capital has already collapsed on the ground. How could he explain to his family?

The Water Dragon Team was the first to arrive. As the most prosperous commercial area in Beijing, the Water Dragon Bureau certainly existed.

That was the fire brigade at this time.

In ancient Chinese architecture, it is mostly made of wooden structures. It is not normal for a commercial area with a large population and heavy lights to occur one or two fires from time to time.

The private water dragon bureau and water dragon team, which are dedicated to firefighting, also came into being.

Because the Qing court didn't care about this matter, like during the Song Dynasty, there were professional fire-fighting "sub-fire teams" that could be called the world's earliest professional fire-fighting agency. The "Fire Prevention" section of "Tokyo Menghualu" records that in Bianliang City, "there are about 300 steps in each lane, there is a military patrol shop. Five soldiers were patrolled at night, and the fire building was built on bricks at a high place, and someone looked up on the building." Whenever a fire broke out, it immediately reported that the "master of the army, the cavalry and infantry army, the three yamen in front of the hall, and the Kaifeng Prefecture led the troops to draw water to extinguish it, and it would not be a labor force for the people." These soldiers responsible for extinguishing the fire were the "sub-fire team" of the "sub-fire team", and were professionally trained firefighters.

If Daqingguo doesn’t have this, he can only rely on the people’s power.

The Kang family is one of the money owners of the Water Dragon Bureau, and the Water Dragon Team came very quickly. But no matter how fast they were, they could not help themselves. The fire was too big and too fierce, and they could not control it at all.

By the time the police station and the Shuntian Prefecture arrived, the grain store street was already illuminated by the fire during the day, and a large number of people were nervously demolishing their houses and creating isolation belts.
