All the news was linked, and everyone in the Chamber of Commerce vaguely understood that someone was secretly fueling the troubles, and they were determined to oppose them.

The abnormality of the surrounding grain prices is a matter of the past two days, but Su Ji Grain Shop hung up a sign of closure three days ago, it is obvious that they have long known the news, if the rush to buy in Luzhou City has nothing to do with Su Ji, it is really a hell.

"Quickly close the shop and hang up the sold-out sign, we may be tricked by this little rabbit." Tang Dongjia yelled angrily.

Because there are too many people queuing up to buy grain, so it is dark until now that the shop is shipping, the thought of the grain in the warehouse being snapped up most of the heart, the hearts of the owners of the Chamber of Commerce are painful, if it is true that the price of grain has soared to the usual 21 stone, then the Chamber of Commerce has lost at least nearly 100,000 yuan of income at the end of this day.

"Tang Dongjia, in my opinion, we need to send people to the south overnight to find out the situation, hearing is false, seeing is believing, we can't believe Su Ji's words, and Su Ji sent three big treasurers to the south, no matter how old and old people don't believe they returned empty-handed." Vice President Huang Dongjia groaned.

"Lao Huang is right, you have to do this thing, and the situation must be detailed; At the same time, bring enough funds, if the situation is true, no matter what, you have to buy some grain back, the drought in the south, the price of rice has skyrocketed, even if it is consistent two or three stones, in the year of famine, it is not said that it is consistent two or three, that is, it is consistent five or two, is it not enough to eat, and the profit is still there! ”

"Yes, no matter what the price is, this time may be our chance to make a fortune, the purchase price is high, we sell at a higher price, and we can't suffer losses." The sluggish spirits of the crowd lifted up and echoed the words.

Suddenly, Vice President Liu, who had been sitting on the side for a long time and had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think it is better to think carefully about this matter, the old man always feels that there is something strange here." ”

President Tang said, "Lao Liu, come out and take a look." ”

Vice President Liu said slowly: "You are all business leaders, and you all understand a truth, the market price chaos may be when we and other businessmen seek great profits, but a bad one may also be a situation of capsizing; As I said just now, Su Ji did not purchase rice and grain from the south, doesn't Su Ji understand the reason why the price of rice will skyrocket next year? Don't they know that once their grain shop has no rice to sell in the spring next year, how can Su Ji, the grain and oil shop in Luzhou Mansion, continue? Wouldn't it be in vain to lose the share of the Su family. ”

"Perhaps...... Maybe Su Ji doesn't have the vision and financial resources to make a fuss about this matter, and I don't know, Su Ji has a lot of inventory in the cloth village, and Su Ji has been operating dismally in the past few years, I don't believe that Su Jin dares to take the old lady's pension funds to take risks. It was Lang Shaodong who spoke, his voice was so sharp that he could distinguish it without looking at people.

President Tang said: "What Lang Shaodong said is not unreasonable, then Su Jin is only sixteen this year, I heard that he has been studying in the house before, and it is rumored that he is a nerd, and he is probably a helpless move by the Su family to take over Su Ji; Although this nerd had a lot of fun in Luzhou City during this time, according to the old man, nothing was reliable, no money was made, and a few sour lyrics gained some fame among those poor people and bitches. ”

Everyone giggled, their eyes were quite disdainful, literati look down on businessmen, businessmen also look down on literati, bitches look down on literati but look down on businessmen, businessmen look down on both literati and bitch, it's really a mess.

"Since you all think so, the old decay naturally has nothing to worry about, there is still one thing that needs to be understood before you can do it with peace of mind, if there is a drought in the south and food prices are soaring, will the imperial court open a position to reduce prices, will the imperial court let it go? If the imperial court releases the stored grain, won't we vomit blood at a loss when we buy grain at a high price? Vice President Liu threw out a second worry.

The smiling faces of everyone suddenly became serious, the court suppressed the market price, this is not a lie, since the establishment of the dynasty, there have been major droughts and floods, and the court has made relief and calming down the moves.

In the sixth year of Tiansheng, there was a great drought on Jingdong Road, and there was a shortage of rice, grain and clothing in dozens of state capitals on Jingdong West Road and East Road, and the price skyrocketed.

In the first year of the Ming Dynasty, the two lakes of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were flooded, and the imperial court also used grain storage to stabilize prices and tide over the difficulties, and did not make any money for speculative merchants.

Similar things happened during the Jingyou period and the Baoyuan period, so Vice President Liu's question was to the point, don't just buy grain at a high price here, and the court over there Hulala transported a large amount of grain, that is really smart but clever mistaken, a loss, hundreds of thousands of yuan is the least thing.

Everyone was silent, no one dared to express their opinions on this matter, the only one who had the right to speak on this matter was President Tang, who had a close relationship with the government, not only Zhu Shiyong, the prefect of Luzhou, but also said it in Bianliang City.

President Tang smiled, turned the green ring on his slender finger and scanned the audience, his expression was very arrogant, everyone had no dissatisfaction at all, President Tang had this right to despise them, because people have a wide range of roads, and everyone is quietly waiting for his explanation.

"Lao Liu is very thoughtful, what the old man appreciates most is Lao Liu, no matter how big or small, plan and then act, you are inferior to him at this point." Chairman Tang said with a smile.

"That's, that's, Vice President Liu is a well-known little Zhuge in our Chamber of Commerce, and I naturally can't compare." Everyone laughed and said, Vice President Liu was expressionless, neither shirking nor showing joy.

"It's just that Lao Liu is too cautious this time, so he might as well reveal a big secret to you, but no one is allowed to pass it on, and if he says it, he will bear the consequences; On that day, when I was sitting in the capital with the Privy Envoy, the Privy Envoy talked about the war in the northwest, the Song army and the Western Xia thieves were stuck for four years, and the two sides had tens of thousands of soldiers on the border, and there were victories and defeats for each other; Do you think of anything from this? ”

Tang Weng is saying...... Is the military rations consumed? Vice President Liu's eyes lit up.

"It is worthy of Xiao Zhuge , Lao Liu guessed that in the past four years, the border military salary that people eat and chew has consumed nearly 10 million stones, where does this food come from? In recent years, the grain has not been a year of great abundance, and the self-protection of the grain produced every year is still insufficient. What's more, the consumption of the war is not only the army's consumption of food, Hedong, Yongxing, and Qinfeng are in the middle of the war, although the people's livelihood is not ruined, but they have long been unable to make ends meet, relying on the relief of the imperial court to make the food and clothing that nearly two million people in the three roads beg, where does these consumption come from? Or the treasury. Think about it, does the imperial court still have food to stabilize prices? Maybe next spring, the imperial court will have to buy grain from us at a high price, in short, this time we must seize this opportunity. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, President Tang's analysis was meticulous, these are all information that they can't usually get at all, and only President Tang can know the situation of the court from small talk, it is no wonder that the Tang family has been in full swing in recent years, and it is a dominant family in Luzhou City.

Speaking of which, basically all the problems are not a problem, Vice President Huang went to various houses to collect money and went south overnight, and the Chamber of Commerce was not idle here, Su Ji did not report this time, and it was even possible to spread the news to cause a rush to buy, so that the merchants lost more than 100,000 stone of grain, how can this evil breath be swallowed.

The attack on Su Ji that the Chamber of Commerce has prepared for a long time is finally about to be launched, this time Lang Shaodong volunteered to lead, Lang Shaodong thought very clearly, with more credit in the Chamber of Commerce, he can get a more share of the pie in the future, and if he is not active in this one-sided battle, wouldn't he be a big one.
