Chapter 34 Wanjia is out of money

When serving porridge, Wanjia began to distribute registration cards made overnight according to the person's hair. You can register on the spot as long as you fill in the name, gender, age, family members, original household registration address, etc.

Zhao Yuan found that in addition to more than a dozen wooden tables to register, there were many people in front of Wanjia, guiding or helping those illiterate disaster victims fill in cards.

At noon, thousands of victims gathered in front of Wanjia had already registered and were taken to their subordinate shops to wait for news.

There were 2,370 people registered, including more than 400 elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and nearly 2,000 strong laborers.

The Wanjia first counts according to age and hometown, and then disorganizes the grouping to avoid gathering people to cause trouble because there are too many fellow villagers, making it easier to manage.

Nearly 2,000 people were divided into 22 groups, one hundred people in a group. More than 400 elderly, weak, sick and disabled people were also placed in twenty groups and arranged to do some relaxing work, such as cooking, washing, sewing, and repairing.

At this time, Wanjia demonstrated the shrewdness and efficiency of a merchant.

On the next day, 15 groups of victims started working and were taken to the wilderness of the Wanjia to camp. Another 5 groups of about 600 people began to do logistics work, transporting daily necessities and agricultural tools, etc.

On the third day, 15 camps were built in the wild. Although they were not comfortable, they could shelter from wind and rain.

Winter clothes and bedding are all distributed according to human hair. You can eat white steamed buns every day, and occasionally meat will be eaten. The victims are all very satisfied. For those who have felt the cruel cold and hunger, this is already a paradise life.

On the fourth day, 15 groups officially started construction and a vigorous winter land reclamation campaign began. The victims were very enthusiastic about their labor, because thousands of families promised that all land reclamation land would be rented first.

At the same time, Wanjia's high-priced grain purchases are also being launched in full swing.

At this time, there are still ten days before the New Year.

Xujiaqiao has returned to peace, and the victims gathered on the streets have disappeared. Occasionally, there are victims who have fallen into Xujiaqiao, and Wanjia will immediately resettle them.

The actions taken by other wealthy families in Xujiaqiao are sarcastic about Wanjia.

Everyone knows what it means to support more than 2,000 people. If a person eats two kilograms of food a day, then the Wanjia now consumes at least more than 5,000 kilograms per day, not including winter clothes and bedding and other living expenses.

More than 5,000 kilograms a day, more than 50,000 kilograms a day, and more than 500,000 kilograms a day in a hundred days. When the spring is over, tens of thousands of families will consume at least 500,000 kilograms of grain. Moreover, the seeds will not be sown after three months, that is, the harvest season for tens of thousands of families will be at least half a year later.

In half a year, one million kilograms of food will be consumed.

Each victim had two sets of daily necessities such as winter clothes and winter shoes for changing, which cost even more.

The most fatal thing is that the number of victims in thousands of families is increasing every day.

Everyone is watching Wanjia jokes.

Just as thousands of families were buying grain in large quantities, some big investors took the opportunity to raise prices, especially the Ma family, the largest family in Xujiaqiao, which even raised the price of grain.

Although the Ma family has a big business, because the Ma family is doing a high-value-added business, its influence in Xujiaqiao is actually not as good as that of Wanjia, and has long been jealous of Wanjia, especially the salt storm that not long ago, because Wanjia took action to rescue the market, the Ma family has accumulated a large amount of salt. Conservatively estimated that it has not been able to sell it for several years. The most important thing is that the Ma family has also brought the nickname of "black-hearted businessman".

It seemed that intentionally or unintentionally, the Ma family began to intervene in the field of Wanjia's business, taking the opportunity to crack down on Wanjia's business activities in Xujiaqiao.

The Ma family began to lower prices and even sell some non-short supplies at a loss, making it impossible for Wanjia’s East Court to redeem the stock materials into cash.

Wanjia’s funds began to have problems.

There is no doubt that Wanjia is rich. For a wealthy family like Wanjia, purchasing one million kilograms of grain is no problem, but now it is different from the past. In the past, Wanjia could purchase grain without cash at all. But now, under the example of the Ma family, some tenants not only need cash, but also take the opportunity to raise prices.

In fact, the Wanjia not only needs to purchase grain, but also buy a large number of winter clothes and quilts. These things are more expensive than grain. After all, they are more than 2,000 poor and ragged victims. In this cold season, they need warm winter clothes and thick quilts.

In fact, it is not that Wanjia has no money, but that there is not much liquidity in Xujiaqiao, and Wanjia's property exists in various forms, not cash.

In Wanjia, there are also some valuable items such as gold, silver, jewelry, crystals, etc., but the transportation is inconvenient and the market is not smooth. In small towns like Xujiaqiao, those things cannot be turned into cash. Even if they are to be sold, the buyers are very limited. They are nothing more than wealthy families like the Ma family and Xiao family.

The Ma family and Xiao family are all taking advantage of the situation. I hope that the collapse of thousands of families will naturally not help them overcome difficulties. In fact, many big families are ready to divide the thousands of families.

Now, buying food and other supplies requires cash, which is the headache for Wanjia.

Zhao Yuan didn't know that Chen was already in a state of great trouble. He overestimated the financial resources of the Wan family and underestimated the complex relationship between Xu Jiaqiao.

Today is the seventh day of his diarrhea, and Zhao Yuan lay on the bed early and waited for that heart-wrenching moment.

This is the last day.

Zhao Yuan, who was lying on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of life being worse than death was finally over.

After two o'clock, before Wan Ling'er came, Zhao Yuan started to feel pain. He rushed to the toilet and pulled for half an hour. When he returned to the room, Wan Ling'er was already sitting quietly beside the bed.

Although Zhao Yuan noticed that Wan Ling'er was a little strange, he felt so painful that he tried hard to climb onto the bed and urged Wan Ling'er to massage him and clear his meridians quickly.

Wan Ling'er didn't speak, and quietly used spiritual energy to massage Zhao Yuan.

More than ten minutes later, Zhao Yuan felt a little more comfortable. He found that after Wan Ling'er came in, he had not said a word and was in a very depressed mood, which was very different from the past chatter.

"Are you thinking?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Uncle Tianxing is here."

"Who is Uncle Tianxing?"

"My uncle."

“…”

"My mother wants Uncle Tianxing and I to leave Xujiaqiao."

"Go where?"

"Go to Huping Mountain."

"what?"

“Blind date.”

"Blind date!" Zhao Yuan's heart beat wildly inexplicably.

"Um."

"The Chinese New Year is only a few days away, why go here at this time?" Zhao Yuan was silent for a while and asked.

"That's it." Wan Ling'er sighed, "I don't know why, and Uncle Tianxing doesn't know either. It seems that it was decided by his mother temporarily."

“When will you leave?”

"Zhao Yuan, what should I do? I don't want to get married, I don't want to get married..." Wan Ling'er suddenly lost control and screamed.

"Don't make a sound." Zhao Yuan sat up suddenly and covered Wan Ling'er's mouth.

"Woo... Zhao Yuan, if you want to help me, you must help me. I don't want to get married..." Wan Ling'er lay on Zhao Yuan and cried moaning.

"Don't cry, don't cry, there will be a way..." Zhao Yuan carefully patted Ling'er's shoulder, and his heart beat wildly again. He felt the warmth emitted by Ling'er's soft body.

"You have a way?" The people of all spirits sat up suddenly, with tears in their eyes.

"Let me think about it... something is wrong. If you want to go on a blind date, few women will go to the man on their own initiative. Moreover, it is not known to the man... Hey... It's time for the Chinese New Year again... By the way, it must be that your mother doesn't want you to stay in Xujiaqiao and wants to send you away!"

"Why should I send me away?" Wan Ling'er wiped her tears and looked puzzled.

"Why do you have to be saved...unless...unless...unless you are in danger!" Zhao Yuan's body was shocked.

"What danger will I have?"

"Maybe it's not that you are in danger." Zhao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "You thousands of families are in danger. Your mother wants you to leave first. By the way, what's going on in your family recently?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Nothing happened, everything went smoothly. My mother just said she had no money and asked for all my private money..."

"The Wan family has no money?" Zhao Yuan was stunned.
