In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.
Chapter 68 A Bigger Granary
Chen Jun was furious and kicked Chen Dong's hunched body hard, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground.
"Stop talking nonsense! I just want to know where the grain went!" Chen Jun's eyes flashed with anger, and his voice was full of unquestionable majesty. The amount of lost grain was so large that it was enough to make him feel heartbroken. According to the market price, if the grain was mixed with some stones and sold, it could at least be exchanged for thousands of taels of silver. This was undoubtedly a huge loss for him.
Chen Dong was so scared that his face turned pale. He kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy: "Please spare our lives, Mr. Chen! We really don't know how the food disappeared!" The people guarding the warehouse also kowtowed. They knew in their hearts that Chen Jun's methods were cruel. If they couldn't explain clearly this time, they would probably suffer.
Lin Kunlun saw it clearly from the side, and he whispered in Chen Jun's ear, "Mr. Chen, it is important to complete the transaction as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."
Sun Ying also interrupted at the right time: "Mr. Chen, I think we should complete the transaction first. As for your family affairs, you should deal with them slowly after you leave." As he said this, he raised the deed in his hand with a meaningful smile on his face.
Chen Jun took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He knew that what Lin Kunlun and Sun Ying said made sense, and now was not the time to deal with these things.
"Okay, go find it right now! If you can't find the food, come to me with your head on your shoulders!" Chen Jun glared at Chen Dong viciously, and ordered, "Also, send someone to inform my father immediately and ask him to send a few experts from the government office. I suspect that those who stole the food yesterday deliberately diverted our attention and took the opportunity to steal the food. I don't believe that so much food could disappear out of thin air in the county town!"
After saying that, he kicked Chen Dong again, this time with greater force, almost knocking Chen Dong to the ground.
"Boss Sun, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Chen Jun forced himself to smile calmly, then turned to Sun Ying and said, "Come on, I'll take you to another grain warehouse. We'll complete this deal today."
Although Chen Jun still felt sorry for the lost food, he knew that the most important thing now was to stay calm and rational. The food would never disappear out of thin air, and he believed there must be clues. Moreover, he also needed to complete the transaction with Sun Ying as soon as possible to avoid complications.
Chen Jun immediately arranged for two horse-drawn carriages to arrive. Several people drove the carriages to another grain store east of the county town.
At this time, Chen Jun noticed that Lin Kunlun, who had been following Sun Ying, was not like those younger brothers who had been following Sun Ying. And he saw with his own eyes that Sun Ying had just discussed something with Lin Kunlun.
"Boss Sun! This guy doesn't look familiar!" Chen Jun's tone was full of inquiry, his eyes fell on Lin Kunlun, looking him up and down. Seeing this, Sun Ying laughed, patted Lin Kunlun on the shoulder, and introduced him: "Mr. Chen, this is my right-hand man, Lin Kunlun. Although he is young, he is smart and capable. This transaction was so smooth, thanks to his help."
Lin Kunlun smiled slightly, clasped his fists towards Chen Jun and said, "Mr. Chen, nice to meet you. I am Lin Kunlun, just a small soldier under Boss Sun, not worth mentioning."
Chen Jun nodded, but he was secretly alert in his heart. He could see that although Lin Kunlun was respectful and polite on the surface, his eyes revealed a subtle sharpness. Such a person is definitely not an ordinary person.
"In that case, please ask Boss Sun and Mr. Lin to go to the grain store together." Chen Jun said, and got on the carriage first. Sun Ying and Lin Kunlun followed closely behind, and the group drove towards the grain store in the east of the county town.
Along the way, Sun Ying and Lin Kunlun sat in a carriage. Sun Ying asked in a low voice.
"Brother Lin! Yes, what do you think about the food that disappeared from the warehouse?"
Lin Haoyue looked at the man driving the carriage in front who was also speaking in a low voice.
"It's obvious! The outside of the warehouse has not been damaged! And if so much grain is to be moved, it will make a lot of noise. The people guarding the warehouse cannot be unaware of it! There are only two possibilities for this situation! One is that the people guarding the warehouse are stealing! Another possibility is that Chen Jun has been acting for us! Wait, Brother Sun, you better be careful! Don't hand over the deed easily, for fear that after you hand it over to him, you may not know whether there is grain in his other warehouse!"
Sun Mo heard this and nodded gently. You have to know that he had the family business he has today, but he risked his life to get it. Naturally, he would be very careful.
"Although Chen Jun is the son of the county magistrate, my business is related to the county and the interests of many people up and down. I don't believe he dares to harm me!" Sun Ying still has this confidence.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a grain store in the east of the county. Chen Jun got off the car first and took a look around. Although the grain store was small, it was in a remote location and not easily noticed. This was exactly why he chose this place as the trading location.
"Mr. Chen! The grain you mentioned is here?" Sun Ying asked, pointing at the grain store!
"The food inside is all high-quality rice and wheat. I believe that this transaction will satisfy Boss Sun." Chen Jun walked into the food store first. There were seven or eight shop assistants in the food store. When they saw Chen Jun coming, they immediately respectfully called him Young Master.
"We need to go to the warehouse in the back to take a look. Close the store door now and don't sell the grain for the time being!" Chen Jun ordered immediately.
Chen Jun and two shop assistants were walking in front, and Sun Ying and Lin Kunlun were following behind.
Soon we entered the backyard of the grain store. There was a very large granary in the backyard. This granary was much larger than the one we had just seen.
"Boss Sun, you see, the grain here is more than enough for today's transaction!" Chen Jun ordered someone to open the door of the granary.
"Here we have top-quality white rice and wheat! Originally, I wasn't going to sell these grains for the time being. But this time I will sell them to Boss Sun at the best price!" Chen Jun pointed to the piles of grain.
Lin Kunlun saw that the food was obviously what Chen Jun was going to store. They were all fine grains such as wheat and rice. To be honest, he had never eaten rice in such a long time since he came to this world. If he had known that there was such a warehouse here, he would have emptied it. But now he couldn't do that. He had to find a way to give the food here to Yuan Quan and others as capital to start the bidding.
Sun Ying walked into the granary, his eyes swept over the piles of grain, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He reached out and grabbed a handful of wheat, looked at it carefully, smelled it, nodded and praised: "It is indeed good grain, Master Chen is really straightforward."
Lin Kunlun was also observing from the side, and he found that the grain in this granary was more than the one he had taken away using the space. This should be Chen Jun's most important granary.
"Mr. Chen, I want all this grain." Sun Ying put down the wheat in his hand and turned to Chen Jun and said, "I have brought the land deed. Let's exchange the money and the goods."
Chen Jun's eyes flashed with joy, but he remained calm on the surface. He waved his hand and signaled his men to bring the land deed.
"Mr. Chen! I can't believe that you still have so much good food in such a year! It really makes me curious!" Lin Kunlun asked with a smile.
"Brother Lin, there are some things you cannot know! But for the sake of Boss Sun, I will tell you! These grains actually come from the county warehouse! The county government's warehouse must store some grain for emergencies. This is the rule set by Da Kun! However, the county government's grain must be taken out of the old grain and put in new grain every once in a while! The operability is very strong. You know, grain that has been stored for a few years is worthless! On the contrary, the price of new grain is high!" Chen Jun said as if he was very smart. He completely regarded Lin Kunlun as Sun Ying's subordinate. In addition, Sun Ying's business was not glorious, so there was no need to hide this matter.
Lin Kunlun was a man who had worked his way up in the business world of modern society. How could he not understand their operation? It was nothing more than buying some old grain and exchanging it for grain in the county warehouse.
"Is there any grain in the county warehouse now?" Lin Kunlun's eyes lit up when he heard this. You know, even old grain can be used in disaster years! People are almost starving to death, so who cares if it is old grain. If he really needs it one day after knowing this news, he can go there and store all the grain in the county warehouse into the space.
"Of course the grain in the county treasury is in the key. You know, every county magistrate has to count the key for three terms. If there is less grain in the key, everyone from top to bottom will lose their heads. Da Kun is very strict in this management! This is Da Kun's military rations at a critical moment! But that grain has been there for four years!" Chen Jun said in a low voice. There was a sense of pride in his tone. It was obvious that the new grain was in his hands.
Lin Kunlun was more certain of his judgment. With such a chaotic management and a warehouse full of rats, Da Kun might have reached the end of its life.
