The people live on food!

Since the birth of agrarian civilization, food has been the root of the people.

But it was also a tool for merchants to make a profit.

They first bought the local people's grain stocks at a higher price than the market price.

Seeing that their own grain is sold at a high price, these people are very happy, the market sells for 100 wen, and people pay 12, how can there be such a stupid person in the world?

As a result, every household took out pure grain in exchange for Huang Chengcheng's money.

Anyway, only if there is money, they can still buy low-cost food from the market.

But they forget one thing, businessmen are all after profits, they never buy and sell at a loss.

When they bought almost all the grain from the locals, they began to increase the price, and those who sold the grain in exchange for money found that the grain had risen, and their hearts immediately panicked, and they took the money to buy back their own grain.

If the money is gone, you can make it again, but if you run out of food, you will starve to death.

In this way, when the whole people buy grain, the grain will naturally soar. Naturally, the merchants sat and counted the money.

Only then did the people realize that it was absolutely impossible for the money from the sale of grain to buy back their own grain, so they had to use their savings to buy grain.

In this way, the grain is still their own food, but their savings fall into the pockets of the merchants, and some even go bankrupt.

This is the food routine.

Since the beginning of the businessman, this grain routine has been tried and tested repeatedly.

Sometimes this simple routine is completely worth an army of millions.

The rise of Yunzhou has made this barren land the most prosperous place in Dahan.

The bustling business has brought a lot of business opportunities and income to the locals, but it also has some drawbacks.

Some backward and inefficient production capacity is about to be phased out.

Farming is one of them.

It is better to work for a month to plant an acre of grain, and over time, naturally no one will grow grain.

Therefore, Yunzhou became a pure grain import, which provided a basis for merchants to use routines.

When Yunzhou was strong, there were also many businessmen who beat the ideas of the people of Yunzhou and began to play food routines.

But they met Guo Jia, a master of playing routines.

Regarding the shortcomings of Yunzhou, Guo Jia knows better than anyone.

The rest can be thrown to the market, but the price of grain must be in hand.

In response to this situation, Guo Jia established a granary guarantee system.

As long as the grain prices in Yunzhou tend to rise slightly, Guo Jia will definitely throw the massive inventory in the grain depot to the market.

The businessman used up his savings by buying grain at a high price, and he failed to collect the grain in Yunzhou City, but he was liquidated even if he was liquidated.

In this way, you can only endure the pain and cut the flesh out.

After the businessman was out, the grain on the market returned to low prices, and Guo Jia bought back a large number of warehouses.

In this way, the property of many merchants was harvested.

After doing this several times, the merchants realized that Yunzhou's grain could not be provoked, and this was a bottomless pit.

Therefore, few people dare to fight the idea of Yunzhou.

But now that the grain depot is empty, and the merchants have made a comeback at this time, Yunzhou is really dangerous.

But Guo Jiayou can't use the army to intervene in those profiteers.

Because from the very beginning, Guo Jia promised never to intervene in the market, at least not to intervene in the face.

If Guo Jiazhen sent troops to arrest those profiteers, Yunzhou's reputation would fall again.

Guo Jia took a deep breath and said, "Immediately notify the Mi family, the Zhen family and the Su family come to Lu Nu to discuss the matter." ”

The Yunzhou government can't bear this matter alone, and must look for foreign aid.

"My lord! This Su family ......"

Xi Zhong hesitated.

It's okay for the Mi family and the Zhen family, the key is that Guo Jia just killed the grandson of the Su family, how can people give up?

It's just a matter of not looking for some trouble, and naturally it won't help Guo Jia.

Guo Jia frowned.

Su Cheng neglected his duties and died innocently, so he naturally didn't have any pity.

But all this happened in a hurry, if he knew that this would happen, he would not have killed Su Cheng immediately.

"Let the people of the Zhen family and the Mi family come to see me first!"

In any case, Guo Jia can't let the price of food in Yunzhou City fly.

……

Mi Fang, the second leader of the Mi family, was in the city, and after the Zhen family received the news, they immediately asked Zhen Jian to come immediately.

"Lady Makimori!"

Seeing Guo Jia come in, the two immediately stood up.

Have a seat!

Guo Jia was a little polite.

After all, this matter is a request for someone, even if it is the most suspicious Mi family, he can't attack it now.

"The two of you know about the increase in grain prices in Yunzhou, right?"

Guo Jia said straight to the point.

I've heard that!

The two nodded slowly.

As a big merchant in Yunzhou, they are naturally well-informed.

"The reason why the price of grain in Yunzhou has been speculated is entirely because of those unscrupulous businessmen. They took advantage of the fact that Yunzhou had just experienced the epidemic and was weakening to attack Yunzhou. In order to save the lives of Yunzhou, I need the help of the two of you. Use your own food to annihilate the invading enemy. ”

Guo Jia said unceremoniously.

This one......

The two glanced at each other, and both saw each other's doubts.

They all understood that Guo Jia was trying to let them fight a trade war with those profiteers.

In the past, those profiteers also had the idea of Yunzhou grain, but they were beaten by Guo Jia every time.

They also knew that the Yunzhou government had a large granary with a huge amount of grain reserves.

Because of this, several grain routines of profiteers were thwarted by Guo Jia.

Could it really be that, as rumored has said, the granaries of the officers and soldiers are empty?

Whether it is empty or not, the Zhen family is Guo Jia's dependence.

Zhen Jian immediately stood up.

"Lord Shepherd, please rest assured, when I came, Mrs. and Second Miss have been instructed, as long as the Zhen family is used, the Zhen family will definitely go all out."

Good!

Guo Jia nodded, this is the quality that the alliance should have.

No matter what happens, as long as Guo Jia is in need, the Zhen family will go all out.

The Zhen family made a statement, but Mi Fang was silent.

"Is there any difficulty?"

Guo Jia's eyes fell on Mi Fang.

Madam Mademo!

Mi Fang was puzzled: "The Mi family has always been based on tea cloth and silk, and the intake of grain is very small, and the inventory is not too much, I am afraid it will be difficult to come in handy." ”

He paused and continued: "Besides, the two families of Yunzhou and Zhen Su are rich in the world, and there must be no problem with their help." The Mi family will not mix this time. Of course, if the shepherd needs it, we can also contribute a little bit to our own inventory. ”

Guo Jia frowned.

He still knows a lot about the operation of the Mi family, and the Mi family is indeed rarely involved in the grain industry, even if there is some inventory, it is definitely not much.

Originally, Guo Jia called Mi Fang to come, and he didn't plan to let him contribute much, but just to give Mi Zhen a chance for the sake of Mi Zhen as a reason to excuse him in the future.

I didn't expect this guy to refuse
