Chapter 209: Back Soldiers(1/2)
"The Xu family is willing to contribute 5,000 dan of all the grain stored." The head of the Xu family also said.
"The Wu family only has 5,000 dan of grain stored, so they are willing to take it out!" said the head of the Wu family.
“…Three thousand dans!”
"One thousand dan!"
The landlords and grain merchants were loyal to the country and enthusiastically responded to the call of His Highness Dai Wang. As if they were discussing, they took out all the "storage grain" in preparation for doing their best to calm the price of Guanzhong grain.
The face of Gu Yi was gloomy. These people were just fooling him. They knew exactly how much food they had. Now, in order to deal with him, these people only threw out such a little grain. What can this little grain be used for?
Gu Yi looked bad and looked sharp, looking at the landlords.
At this moment, Lu Jitong stood up and whispered loudly.
"The Lu family is willing to sell the grain stored at 100,000 yuan at the agreed price of grain agreed by His Highness Dai."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was silent immediately.
All the landlords looked at Lu Jitong with a sharp look. If the Lu family hadn't interfered with it, the grain prices in Daxing City would have risen long ago, and now the Lu family has begun to sing opposites with everyone again.
At this moment, new and old hatreds suddenly surged into my heart. The landlords hated Lu Jitong so much that all the food contributed by the aristocratic families was not even 100,000.
Once 100,000 grains are put into the market, the grain prices in Daxingcheng will not rise for at least five days.
Now there are still about two months left before the harvest. If you lose another five days, how much will it cost!
Lu Jitong looked at the hatred eyes of the landlords, and was fearless. If he had given him a hundred courages before, he would not dare to offend these Guanzhong local snakes.
However, now the Lu family has the Jin Ling of the King of Dai, and now the King of Dai in Daxing City is the decision. The Lu family has already decided on the strategy of following His Royal Highness of Dai, and has gained a lot of money many times.
Now His Highness Dai Wang wants to lower the price of grain in Guanzhong. As the largest grain merchant in Daxing City, Lu Jitong is willing to stand up and even if he offends everyone, he will do whatever he wants.
Gu Yi looked at Lu Jitong's face slightly slowed down, and finally there was another person who filled his position.
Gu Yi nodded to Lu Jitong and said, "The Empire will not forget anyone who is loyal to the country."
"Thank you, Lord Gu!" Lu Jitong said happily.
The landlords couldn't help but regret that Gu Yi is now the first civil servant in Daxing City. Being able to get Gu Yi's recognition is like getting a talisman. Unexpectedly, Lu Jitong, the Liang Shidu, was taken first.
However, after thinking about the huge benefits that are coming, all the landlords gritted their teeth and kept silent.
Gu Yi looked around and saw that no one was whispering. He couldn't help but feel disappointed.
This time, when Yan Lailou gathered, the bone artifacts gained a lot, and only harvested nearly 200,000 dan of affordable grain, so he had to leave in disappointment.
"I am disappointed His Highness Dai King!"
In the Eastern Palace, Ji Yi apologized for guilt.
"Mr. Gu is in trouble, and these landlords and grain merchants only care about the immediate interests. They care about the stability of Guanzhong, and their hearts are punished." Yang You said angrily.
"The 200,000 Dan grain will not last for a few days. If nothing unexpected happens, after waiting for the 200,000 Dan grain to be sold, which grain merchants will say that the grain has been sold out and start bargaining with the court." Gu Yi said bitterly. He knew a lot about the character of these aristocratic families.
"Don't worry, Lord Gu, who said there is no food in Guanzhong? There is another place in Jingzhao County that has food." Yang You smiled mysteriously.
"There is another place, could it be..." Gu Yi said in surprise.
"Yongfeng Cang!" the two said at the same time.
Yongfeng Warehouse is the only granary in Guanzhong. It has sufficient stock. As long as the Yongfeng Warehouse is opened, the grain price crisis in Daxingcheng can be solved. However, opening Yongfeng Warehouse is of great importance and is probably not so easy to open.
However, this is the only way to do it. The two of them discussed for a long time before leaving.
……………………
A drop in the bucket!
For the large population of Jingzhao County, 200,000 Dan food is too small.
Sure enough, as soon as the low-priced grain flowed into Jingzhao County, it was immediately sold out, and it took only two days.
"What's there no food?" A middle-aged farmer stood outside the Qingjia Grain Shop and couldn't believe it.
The information he got was too late. When he came to buy food, he was told that there was no food anymore and he was disappointed.
"Customer, we really have no food, and you also know how popular these low-priced foods are." The waiter explained in the grain store.
"Will there be any tomorrow?" the middle-aged farmer asked hopefully.
The waiter shook his head.
The middle-aged farmer's heart sank and asked again: "What about the day after tomorrow?"
The waiter still shook his head.
The middle-aged farmer showed disappointment on his miserable face and lowered his head and sighed.
"But our store still has some fine grains, which may be more expensive. I wonder if the customer wants to buy some." The waiter said in a puzzled manner.
The middle-aged farmer couldn't help but feel that their family had been short of food for a long time, and they were able to survive with the help of relatives and friends. At this time, he suddenly heard the news that the price of grain was falling and rushed over to buy it.
I didn't know that all of them were sold out, and the rest were all high-priced food. In fact, the middle-aged farmer knew in his heart that the so-called high-priced food and ordinary food were no different from his family, as long as he could fill his stomach, it was enough.
The middle-aged farmer lamented that he didn't want to buy high-priced food, but it wouldn't work if he didn't buy it now.
"How much does the price of refined grain?" the middle-aged farmer spoke with difficulty.
"The price of the valley is 110 cents!"
The middle-aged farmer hesitated for a long time and finally put his hand into his pocket.
The waiter was delighted and knew that this business was likely to be completed.
At this moment, a scream interrupted the waiter's dream.
"The food price has dropped again!" a citizen cheered and shouted.
"The Lu family business is now priced at 85 cents per dou."
"Eighty-five quota per dou?" The middle-aged farmer was ecstatic and immediately grabbed Qian Duozi and ran to the Lujia business. The waiter couldn't even shout back.
The waiter stomped his feet in annoyance and hurriedly walked towards the inner courtyard. The price of grain dropped again. The head of the family must know about this.
"Eighty-five quotations!" The head of the Qing family was shocked.
"You have reported to the head of the family, this news is true and has spread all over the streets. The Lu family store has reduced the price of grain for 5 cents per bucket of grain, and it is available for unlimited amounts." The waiter in front of the Qingjia Grain Store said respectfully.
"It is impossible. The Lu family's 100,000 Dan grain was distributed first. It has been sold out. Where did Lu Jitong transport the grain from!" The head of the Qing family paced anxiously.
"No, I must go and have a look!"
The head of the Qing family immediately stood up and took a bus to the Lu family business.
"Master! I can't walk in front!" said the waiter driving.
The head of the Qing family lifted the curtain and saw that the entire street was filled with people who bought grain, and those who did not buy grain were anxiously pouring in. The people who bought grain carried the grain out with joy on their faces.
"It's actually true?" The head of the Qing family was incredulous.
The Lu family clearly had no food, so where did he get so much food?
Could it be that some aristocratic families were secretly selling food? The head of the Qing family suspected, but then shook his head.
It is impossible. If there are any other aristocratic families who sell food secretly, they will definitely not be able to hide it from them, and this aristocratic family will definitely be excluded by everyone. The gain is not worth the loss.
"Pull the carriage in front!" The head of the Qing family pointed to the luxury cars in front and ordered.
"Yes!" The waiter drove the carriage and stopped slowly.
"Everyone!" The head of the Qing family got out of the car and clasped his fists.
"Brother Qing!" Several heads of aristocratic families bowed together.
The few people didn't say anything, and looked at the lively and hot sales in front of them with a heavy expression, and their hearts couldn't help but feel bleeding.
If the Lu family had not interfered with it, such a hot sales should have appeared in their grain stores, and the price would be more than 20% higher.
"Where did so much food come from?" the heads of the family whispered.
The other family owners were also confused.
A butler ran over hurriedly and saw the head of the Qing family hurriedly greeting him.
"Head of the family!" The housekeeper was sweating profusely.
"So it's Uncle Chuang!" The head of the Qing family did not dare to neglect the butler named Uncle Chuang because he was the butler of the censor Qingyun.
"The master asked me to send a letter to the head of the family?" Uncle Chuang handed over a secret letter.
The head of the Qing family looked slightly calmer and he took the secret letter carefully.
The other heads of the family also looked at the head of the Qing family, and they all knew that it was the censor Qingyun who came to the news.
The head of the Qing family did not avoid suspicion, so he pulled open the secret letter and looked over.
"What?" The head of the Qing family was shocked and staggered.
"What's wrong!"
“Where did that food come from?”
"Who is stealing the food!"
