"How is it, can everything go smoothly today?"

When another team returned to Liangyuan, the person guarding the door asked casually.

"Of course, the villagers were all hungry. In a few words, we asked them to take out more than 700 acres of land for food. You must know that they are so easy to talk to, so we should lower the land price." The leader joked before leading the team in.

At this time, there was a scene of celebration in Liangyuan. The result of several thousand kilograms of grain being exchanged for a few acres of land was sent back. Cai Zhili and the others were already smiling from ear to ear. As long as they looked at the number of land that could be recorded in the account, they felt a sense of excitement.

"Okay, we have a great harvest this time. Even if there have been some twists and turns before, we still make a profit!" Hu Guanjue smiled and took the wine pot to fill the other people. "When we go back this time, we are all the heroes in the family. When we choose the patriarch, we will be you and me."

"Haha, after this time, each of you and I can get hundreds of hectares of fertile land. By the next year, we will have more grain in our hands. If we operate it in a targeted manner, we may be able to buy more acres of land at a low price. In this way, it will no longer be a dream to win more than 50% of the land acres of Huguang." Cai Zhili also agreed proudly, then looked at the empty location and sighed, "It's a pity that Fan Changyue has something to go back, otherwise you and my family can take this opportunity to reach another cooperation."

"He was also unlucky, and he actually made some mistakes at this critical moment. Do you think we should help him take out the food and exchange it for land?" Liang Zhonghua, who was with the last seat, also smiled and asked. Fan Changyue's departure gave him, the Liang family, the opportunity to join forces with several other families.

"Take it slowly. After all, it is his Fan family's grain, so we can't make the decision." Cai Zhiyi smiled and shook his head, "And there are opportunities. Now there are too many people in Suizhou who have land in their hands and lack food. As long as you seize the opportunity, you can use grain to buy land at a low price."

"What you said is that the Fan family has to decide this matter." Liang Zhonghua quickly nodded in agreement.

In fact, they all know very well that this is just an excuse to get more land for their own families. After all, there are only so many benefits. If one Fan family participates, everyone can get more.

"By the way, I think not only can I make money in food, but we can also do some work on those copper coins. Recently, copper coins are valuable, and they can almost be exchanged for one tael of silver for 450 cents. We have also exchanged a lot before this, so why not..." Cai Zhili suddenly put forward another idea.

Because before, the Shen family shop could only buy grain with copper coins but not cash, and their families continued to buy grain, and they even raised a large amount of copper coins for this, which led to a continuous decrease in copper coins on the market, and also made the originally strong silver tend to have a valuable whereabouts.

In fact, several people have keenly captured this point, but they can't make any moves on food. Now that Cai Zhili said this, they began to think about it. It would be better to get a lot of land, but it would be better if there were more gains. After all, who would think there were many benefits?

Hu Guanjue also nodded after thinking: "This is an opportunity to make money. How about it? Are you interested?"

Liang Zhonghua immediately followed up: "As long as you families are willing to participate, my Liang family will naturally be willing to follow."

However, Cai Zhili's brother Cai Zhiyi held the cup and pondered and said for a while, after saying, "Although this is an opportunity, don't forget that the big head of the copper coins is still in the hands of the Shen family. It's not difficult for us to take action, but what if they take action too?"

"I thought this was not a big problem, because I had already inquired before that the copper coins that the Shen family got from us were exchanged for silver. At that time, they set the rules because they wanted to make things difficult for us, and they didn't really have any preference for copper coins. Therefore, even if there were some copper coins in their hands, they could not compare to ours." Hu Guanjue said with a smile.

Cai Zhili also put forward his own idea at this time: "We can also take this opportunity to collect some copper coins, such as our grain shop and other stores only collect copper coins. This will allow us to get more copper coins, and the price of copper coins can also increase the price.

"At that time, when we have enough copper coins on hand and there are not enough copper coins on the market, we can make a lot of money here like the current price of grain!"

"It's amazing, Brother Cai is indeed smart. He actually saw another opportunity to make a big profit. This business is very good. Do you think?" Liang Zhonghua immediately agreed.

After pondering, the other two nodded slowly: "Is this business just necessary to join forces with the Fan family?"

"They are not here, time is tight, so forget it." Cai Zhiyi waved his hand immediately, "And there was something wrong with his family this time, I'm afraid I'm not interested in taking out money to do this deal with us."

"Okay, then let's collect copper coins first and try to increase the price of copper coins. At least we can reduce the price of copper coins to silver to 300 cents!" Hu Guanjue said excitedly.

With this great victory in food, they had great confidence in their abilities and thought they could control everything on copper coins, so that they could make another big profit.

...

When Li Ling returned to Suizhou again, before he entered the city, he obviously saw from the panic reactions of many villages outside the city that those people had already taken action in the past few days when he was away and had a high chance of success.

He even saw two people in a village quarrel to attacking each other, and finally fighting together, but the root cause was that one party wanted to sell the land, while the other party strongly opposed it, and no one could convince anyone. So it eventually led to a large-scale conflict between the people in the same village. If Li Ling had not asked someone to dissuade him in time, many people would have been injured.

"Sir, the situation in Suizhou is very bad." When continuing to set off for the city, Yang Zhen said worriedly, "It's like this outside the city. Why don't they do whatever they want in the city?"

Li Ling was also a little nervous. Although this was as expected, the progress of things was still much faster than he imagined. He had already gone back and forth quickly enough, but in just a short time, those families had already monopolized the grain transactions in Suizhou, and even caused panic among the people in the city. It seemed that he had underestimated these merchants.

"Fortunately, as those villagers said, they have not really signed contracts with those families and transferred the land, so there is still room for recovery. We quickly enter the city, and it is time to launch a real counterattack." Li Ling said, whipping the horse's buttocks, causing the horse under his crotch to neigh and gallop forward at a faster speed, while others also speed up and follow. After half an hour, they finally arrived at the city of Suizhou.

It was still ten cents per person's city gate tax. Li Ling put dozens of cents into the basket next to a veteran's hand, but saw a happy smile on his face, waved his hand to signal them to leave quickly, and took the basket and put all the copper coins into it.

This action was something that I had never seen before, which surprised Li Ling and asked casually: "Master Bing, what are you doing? Do you even have to collect all the copper coins?"

"You are from a foreign country, so of course I don't know what happened in Suizhou City now. To be honest, the copper coins in our city are much more valuable than before. In the past, it was only 800 ounces to exchange for one tael of silver, but now it is less than 500 ounces, or even about 450 ounces to exchange for one tael of silver. And if you only use copper coins to buy grain, you can get a discount. Fifty ounces of grain only need for forty-five ounces." The veteran was in a good mood and answered casually.

The first thing Li Ling cares about was the food price he mentioned. When he heard that it had risen to a terrible fifty-money, his expression was obviously moving. Obviously, what he meant was that the food price in the whole city was so high, not the separate behavior of a certain grain shop. No wonder even the people outside the city were thinking about selling land, but were scared by the high food price.

Then I noticed the ratio of copper coins to silver, and my heart suddenly moved: "There is such a thing? But are the spontaneous behaviors of those grain merchants?"

"Of course it was the rules they set. Somehow, they were very interested in copper coins. It's a pity that I don't have much copper coins on hand, so I can only make less money."

A strange light flashed in Li Ling's eyes, and he stopped talking. He continued to ride a horse and quickly headed towards the city along the deserted street. Along the way, he found that the environment in Suizhou was getting more and more deserted. Not only did he say that many shops had closed down, but there were more pedestrians on the street than before. There were also those with doors open. Even the grain shops were deserted and almost no guests came.

However, even if he was a distance away from the striking 50-month quotation in front of the door, he could see clearly, which made Li Ling snort coldly: "Are you really not afraid of retribution for such greed?"

"They are afraid of retribution, and they will not have done such hoarding and relied on disaster to seize land." Li Moyun couldn't help but comment, "Young Master, we must not spare them this time!"

"Yes, I can't spare them easily!" Yang Zhen and the people behind him agreed after hearing this. Even though they were imperial guards, they still felt the same after seeing such an unfair situation.

Li Ling held the reins hard, his eyes as cold as a knife: "Of course I won't let them go. The only one they are fighting for is that they have the food on hand, but soon, I will let them know that there are other food in Suizhou...50 min... the price should be reduced!"
