Once there is news, he can personally go and talk to the people behind those individuals. He must buy all this grain; no matter how much, he can consu it all!
In the Southern City, not long after, a thug hurriedly arrived.
"Steward, we’ve already found out. Those people just arrived yesterday. After wandering around the city for a day, today they started selling grain. I found out that they have soone in the Governnt Office; so people saw the governnt guards from the Governnt Office take them to find a residence."
"They just arrived yesterday?"
Steward Hao squinted his eyes, recalling what happened yesterday.
Their wooden barrel inexplicably leaked, causing him significant loss. Could it have been caused by these people?
If it really was those people, then what are they trying to do? Are they deliberately causing trouble for him? Or do they think that as long as they drive his people away, Guangye City will be their domain?
"Steward, they only ca yesterday. Could it have been them who ruined the water yesterday?" What Steward Hao could think of, others naturally could as well.
Stone moved closer to Steward Hao and asked in a low voice.
If it were really those people, he would definitely not let them go. After returning yesterday, he had to endure a scolding from Steward Hao, which made him so angry he had two extra bowls of dinner!
Upon hearing Stone’s words, Steward Hao’s expression beca even more serious.
Are these people trying to deliberately attract his attention? If they could cooperate, it would be a win-win situation, he thought, which is an outco everyone would desire.
After all, those who can sell grain at such high prices are not easy people to deal with; they are the sa kind of people as they are.
"Let’s head back first and then make a plan."
He needed to think carefully about how to connect with the people behind them and then cooperate to buy all the grain they had.
"What’s this all about? When did Steward Hao beco so easy to talk to?" Seeing that although Steward Hao looked displeased, he still didn’t say anything, Stone muttered behind his back, watching him leave.
In the past, if Steward Hao knew that his good plans had been interrupted, he would personally step in to teach those people a good lesson.
But now, he just went back directly, swallowing this dumb loss quietly. No one could imagine Steward Hao would be capable of doing sothing like this. Has Steward Hao turned over a new leaf?
"Brother Stone, maybe the steward has his own ideas," a thug beside Stone said softly.
Steward Hao’s thoughts were sothing these people couldn’t comprehend; they only cared about exchanging water for grain every day, as long as they could get enough grain.
"Steward, what should we do now?"
The thug who went back with Steward Hao asked as they walked.
"Keep an eye on those selling grain and see if they’re short on water," Steward Hao instructed the thug with a glance.
If they truly weren’t lacking water, then he would buy the grain with silver. As long as he reported this matter, he believed the authorities would surely support him.
In the Northern Lands now, who doesn’t need grain and water?
"Yes, steward. I will send soone to watch them right away," the thug responded.
...
"They took the bait just like that?"
On the second-floor corner of a nearby winehouse, closest to the well where water was fetched.
Master Ji watched in disbelief as Steward Hao left without saying a word, still finding it unbelievable.
