"Whis?" Luo Xin said with a smile.

Lu Ding smiled embarrassedly: "My lord, we donated 100,000 stones, but in fact, it is not the current market price, it is more than two percent lower than the current market price." My lord, we can't do it either. If it's just five of us, it's okay to say, we have to mobilize other families, and the price is low...... Alas...... Let's put it this way, I'm afraid that other homes are higher than the market price. After all, food prices are rising every day, and the price of food is ten times higher than usual, but this is definitely not the end. Judging from the experience of the next many years, I am afraid that in less than a month, the price of this grain will increase to 20 times. ”

Luo Xin smiled faintly and said, "Thank you in advance." ”

"Don't dare!" The five masters hurriedly said, "This is what we should do. My lord, it's not that we don't want to sell cheaper, in addition to the reason just mentioned, there is another important reason, the price of grain purchased this year is much higher than in previous years. ”

Luo Xin said lightly: "Acquisition? You guys should be a stockpile, right? ”

"This ......," Lu Ding said curtly, "We don't buy much, most of them are harvested in our own fields." ”

Luo Xin waved his hand, he had already investigated clearly. This year, those who have stockpiled goods and settled in strange places have bought grain at three times the price of last year, and now the market price is ten times that of last year, and even if they remove the donated 100,000 stone of grain, it is equivalent to selling it to themselves at more than seven times the price. In addition to transportation, manpower, and material resources, the five families can also earn three times more than last year.

It's really a businessman who is chasing profits!

However, he didn't blame the five major families, it was kind enough that the five major families could only earn three times. This is really for the sake of Luo Xin's face, otherwise, it will really rise to twenty times in a month, as they said.

No!

More than twenty times.

"Old Lu!" Liu Shouyou is Lu Shan's subordinate, and Lu Ding is Lu Shan's brother, at this time, Liu Shouyou felt that he should speak, so he said:

"You don't know yet, do you? Now I'm afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty only has one month's rations......"

Liu Shouyou explained the seriousness of the matter to the five masters in detail, and finally said:

"If you can't avoid this disaster, let alone your five major families, I'm afraid that those businessmen and wealthy families in the entire Ming Dynasty won't even be able to save their lives in the end, and they will be killed and robbed by the rogues. At this time, don't think about making money, or make less. ”

When Lu Ding and the five people heard this, their faces turned pale. Lu Ding looked at Luo Xin and asked tremblingly:

"My lord, is this true?"

"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded slightly.

"This ......"

The faces of the five men showed a look of panic.

"Your Excellency, you have to protect us!"

"Soldiers can only protect you when they have enough to eat." Hu Zongxian said coldly.

"This ......"

Lu Ding and the five exchanged glances with each other, and Lu Ding gritted his teeth and said, "How about we sell it to adults at eight times the price last year?" ”

Luo Xin shook his head and said: "I know your reserve price, you are buying grain at three times the price of last year, plus manpower and material resources, it is about less than four times the price. However, at least half of the 500,000 stone of grain you will take out will be grown in your own fields, so the price will be lowered. In other words, sell me grain at three times the price of last year, and you will make a little more money. Right? ”

"That's ......" Lu Ding nodded awkwardly, he knew that he couldn't hide it from Luo Xin. Luo Xin is so good, he has experienced a battle of wits and courage with Luo Xin, and he knows that nothing can hide from Luo Xin. Just smiled bitterly:

"It's just...... It's basically nothing more than just being busy......"

"It's already your luck to be busy. So be it, two days. It is now dusk, and by dusk the night after tomorrow, I will buy all the grain delivered to the official warehouse at three times the price of last year. If I miss the time, I won't buy it at that price. This is still for my sake, otherwise I would not have given you this opportunity. ”

"Your Excellency, ......"

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "I didn't call you here today for this, but to requisition all the carriages, donkey carts and other means of transportation of your five great families. It must be prepared for the officer within two days. ”

"That's a good thing to say!" Lu Ding nodded and said, "It's just that the price of grain ......."

"Will you sell or not." Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "This official is just giving you a chance." Alright, you guys go back first. I still have something to discuss with Master Hu. ”

"That'...... My lord, I will take my leave. ”

In the room, there were only three people left, Luo Xin, Hu Zongxian and Liu Shou. Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Xin and said:

"No, aren't you a little too tough? Eight times the price is completely fine, three times the price, and there is basically no profit. Didn't you force them not to sell? Four million stones, which can solve a lot of problems! ”

"I've got the food." Luo Xin said with a smile: "I came to my brother today, I want my brother to transfer out elite soldiers, such as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, and let them protect the grain and transport it to various state capitals." ”

"Did you get food?" Hu Zongxian stood up suddenly.

"Hmm." Luo Xin nodded with a smile.

"How much?"

"Twenty million stones!"

"Twenty million stones?"

"This is just the first batch, and there will be more to come."

"Or is it just the first batch?"

"Hmm!"

Hu Zongxian's eyes turned red, and he grabbed Luo Xin's shoulder.

"You didn't lie to me? Where did you get all this food? ”

Liu Shouyou on the side was also very excited, and his face was red. Both of them are military generals and know what it means if the world is in turmoil. Now that I heard that Luo Xin had brought a large amount of food, and there was a follow-up, how could I not be excited?

"Sit down, sit down!" Luo Xin smiled and patted Hu Zongxian's hand holding his shoulder.

Hu Zongxian sat down, but his breathing was still heavy.

"I got in touch with Huaxia at sea and bought grain from Huaxia."

"They have so much food?" Hu Zongxian asked suspiciously.

"We can't do anything about that, as long as they have food to sell us. Before I left the capital, I got in touch with the envoy of the Huaxia Kingdom who lived in the capital, and the envoy sent someone back to their country, and just brought back the news today, and at ten o'clock the day after tomorrow, 20 million Dan grain would be delivered to the port. ”

"Really?"

"Surely it must be true, why have you ever seen me make such a joke?"

"Da Ming is saved!" Hu Zongxian cried with joy. Wiping a handful of tears, he said, "What price?" ”

Luo Xinxin calculated that the grain purchased from Lingnan was very cheap, only 50% of the price of last year, but the cost of transporting it from Lingnan was very high. Luo Xin didn't want to make money in this area, mainly in exchange for some supplies with food, so he said:

"One and a half times as many as in previous years."
