Contract Wife Runs away from the CEO

First, people in this town and even the surrounding villages cannot leave at will. This point is completely different from the reason why they cannot leave because their ancestral graves are here according to the data. In other words, the people who refused to relocate in the first place lied to the people who defrauded the GF-112 project. It’s not that they don’t want to move out, it’s that they can’t move out.

Second, the Zhang family is the ruler of the town, and it has been passed down from generation to generation for who knows how many generations. In other words, the Zhang family has taken control of the initiative and voice since the town was established. The so-called blessing from the gods may be a pretense. In other words, the Zhang family is brainwashing the people in the town. The Zhang family most likely has a channel to the outside world, but they keep it a secret and don't let anyone else know about it.

Third, most of the products from the outside world here are brought in from outside by the Zhang family. Because there are few things, the market is tight, and it is decades behind the outside world. It may also be because the Zhang family bought a car but couldn't transport it, or they simply couldn't afford it. It can be guessed from this that the passage to the outside world is very narrow and difficult to pass through.

Fourth, people here actually yearn for the outside world. As long as you give them a perfect excuse and opportunity, they will agree to move.

After Mi Xiaoying watched the third young master of the Zhang family leave on a bicycle in a ostentatious manner, she called to Yin Yinuo and Jing Shaohuai and said, "Come on, let's assign tasks. Shaohuai, go find out about the taboos here, for example, why you can't leave here." Yinuo, go and find out what happened to the Zhang family's blessing from the gods? Who did the blessing? What is the content of the blessing? I'm going to ask about the price level here and speculate on the economic strength of the Zhang family. "

"Okay." Yin Yinuo and Jing Shaohuai nodded immediately, and the three of them split up.

Mi Xiaoying was glad that she had a lot of money with her when she came.

I thought that in modern society, after everyone became accustomed to electronic payments, there would be little opportunity to use banknotes.

Unexpectedly, it came to great use here.

Once again, I’m glad I have the habit of hoarding.

Mi Xiaoying walked along the road and found a shop with a signboard. She saw that it sold some simple items, such as oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and needles and thread.

Mi Xiaoying randomly bought a roll of needlework and a bottle of vinegar. After looking at it, she found that it was produced by an unknown small factory. The trademark on the outside had been torn off, but the plastic that contained the vinegar was of modern craftsmanship.

Presumably the Zhang family bought this from a small store outside, right?

"Boss, I want to ask you something. Where are the grain stores and vegetable stores here?" Mi Xiaoying handed over a handful of melon seeds with a very knowledgeable look, looking chatty.

"It's on the street next door." The boss was really happy to see Mi Xiaoying being so polite and said, "You want to buy vegetables and grain? How much do you want?"

"Boss, do you have them here too?" Mi Xiaoying grasped the key point.

"Yes, yes, but I sell less." The boss took out a bag and said, "This is coarse grain, which costs 30 cents per catty. Fine grains cost 50 cents per catty! Look at the quality, it is definitely last year's new grain."

Mi Xiaoying pretended to be shopping. After asking about the prices one by one, she said she would think about it and left.

I found other grain stores and vegetable stores, and after asking about the prices, I quickly made calculations in my mind.

The food crops here are mainly wheat, corn, soybeans, millet, sorghum, sweet potatoes, and occasionally some miscellaneous grains such as mung beans and red beans. The vegetables are mainly cabbage, radish and potatoes, and other varieties are rarely seen.

From a price point of view, the prices of grains and vegetables here are extremely low.

Mi Xiaoying has learned about the grain prices outside. Dried wheat has cost two yuan per catty, and corn has cost three yuan per catty.

The price of wheat here is 50 cents per catty, and the price of corn is 30 cents per catty.

If it can be poured out, the profit will be considerable!

Although there is no statistics on the amount of land here, it can feed a town of 5,000 people, and although the people here are poor, their mental outlook is not bad, so the amount of land must not be small, otherwise, there will definitely not be enough food to eat.

The ironware here is more expensive, regardless of the weight, but the piece.

Basically, a hoe costs hundreds of dollars, while in the outside world, it only costs a dozen dollars.

Every entry and exit is profit.

As the boss of the business world, Mi Xiaoying has been keenly aware of the problem.

If the guess is true, then the Zhang family is really awesome!

Over the years, you should have saved a lot of money, right?

Just as he was thinking about it, Yin Yinuo and Jing Shaohuai came back.

"How is it?" Mi Xiaoying asked.

"Thankfully I was the one to take action, otherwise I might not have been able to find out." Jing Shaohuai smelled of alcohol, but his eyes were very bright, and he was obviously not drunk at all.

"I just found a local young man who is not involved in production and asked him to drink a bottle of Erguotou, and he told me everything." Jing Shaohuai was a little proud and said, "This matter must start with Chongzhen. . Do you still remember the year when the Qing army entered the customs? In fact, the country was full of loopholes and the people were in dire straits. You can tell from this name that the main reason is Liushen Town. It is a town managed by six surnames. At that time, six families surnamed Li, Zhang, Wang, Liu, Chen, and Zhao took their families to seek refuge here, because they were all originally from the same village. The banditry was eliminated, so these six families survived."

"After arriving at this place, there were indeed no bandit troubles. They were afraid of being exposed, so they temporarily lived here. They accidentally discovered that the soil here was particularly fertile and the crops they planted grew particularly well. So they decided to build a village here and not leave. After a hundred years of reproduction, the village that originally had only dozens of people suddenly developed into a large village with hundreds of people." Jing Shaohuai said: "These surnames suddenly had conflicts and fought for land. Later, someone said that they should just split up and not live together, so they separated and established their own villages, such as Lijia Village, Zhangjia Village, and Liujia Village. Later, the population increased, and in order to facilitate communication, a town was built in the center of the village and named Liushen Town." Mi Xiaoying and Yin Yinuo both felt powerless to complain about this name. "Are you all complaining about the name of this town? Hehehe, I wanted to complain at first, but later I knew why it was called this name." Jing Shaohuai said; "This is because, more than 300 years ago, someone got tired of the life here and wanted to leave here and return to the outside world. As a result, he died on the roadside before he walked out. When he was found, he was already a pile of bones. At this time, some people didn't believe in evil and wanted to walk out, but as many as they went out died. They then believed that they were cursed by God, and their descendants would never be able to leave this place for generations. So they prayed to the god of their surname to bless their descendants. As a result, a magical thing happened. Zhang Someone from the family tried to go out, but he didn't die and came back alive! So they thought that it was the surname gods of each family who were protecting them. Because there were six surnames in total, it was named Liushen Town! "

Yin Yinuo frowned: "Why does it sound so much like a charlatan?"

Mi Xiaoying nodded in agreement: "This method is indeed artificial. But how did they make the people who walked out die?"

Jing Shaohuai waved his hand and said: "This is not important. The important thing is that the people here really believe it! Then it was passed down from generation to generation. Except for those who have been blessed by the gods, no one dares to leave this place. "

"How many people have been blessed so far?" Mi Xiaoying asked.

"Hehe, Sister Xiaoying is so smart, she thought of the key at once." Jing Shaohuai said: "So far, less than ten people in the village have been blessed.\

,""Are these ten people all members of the Zhang family?" Mi Xiaoying asked.

"Sister Xiaoying guessed right again!" Jing Shaohuai said with a smile: "In every generation of the Zhang family, there will be a person who is blessed by the gods. He can enter and leave here and the outside world freely."

Yin Yinuo didn't know what to say: "Isn't this an obvious scam? The so-called blessing of the gods by the Zhang family should be a gimmick they made up themselves, keeping other people here like raising pigs, right?"

"That's what I guessed." Jing Shaohuai said: "I want to see their temple, but that person won't let me go. He said that outsiders can't go."

Yin Yinuo said: "The news I got is similar to Shaohuai's. A large-scale sacrificial activity is held here every 20 years. One of the contents is to get the blessing of the gods. Those who are selected by the gods will be sent to the temple. Those who are blessed can enter and leave smoothly. But the content of the blessing cannot be found out, and it is obviously confidential. The person who does the blessing is the blessed person of the previous generation, who gives enlightenment blessings to the newcomers, which is passed down from generation to generation."

Mi Xiaoying said; "For so many years, it has been the Zhang family who has When it comes to blessing, no one else has ever suspected the tricks here? "

"Who knows?" Yin Yinuo said: "The current Zhang family is the most powerful family in Liushen Town. Zhangjia Village has no relationship with the Zhang family in the town, that is to say, they have been out of the five mournings for a long time and are not a direct line. Three hundred years ago, the Zhang family in the town broke off relations with Zhangjia Village and became a separate line. Now the Zhang family has a total of five sons and two daughters. Among them, the third son of the Zhang family can come and go freely. Others can't. "

Mi Xiaoying nodded and said; "I just investigated the price level here and found an interesting phenomenon. The prices of things produced here are very low, and the prices of things that are not produced but sold here are several times higher than outside. Obviously, this is an industrial chain of reselling. Buy the crops here at a low price, sell them outside at a high price, and then purchase goods from outside at a low price, sell them here at a high price, and make a profit from the difference. Presumably, this is the reason why the currency here is RMB. Because only a unified currency can facilitate transactions with the outside world. "
