Chapter 615: Shooting the First Bird (Congratulations to qixiaoyege2 for being promoted to alliance leader!) )

Everyone stopped talking and looked over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Everyone is talking about it, but don't say some things that should not be said, the disaster comes from the mouth, everyone should be careful, but don't set yourself on fire."

This man was very prestigious among the people, and as soon as his words came out, everyone stopped complaining.

A thin man leaned over and asked, "Brother Du, you still have to make up your mind for everyone, we can't let the court wield a knife to cut it, this knife really has to be cut down, who of us can bear it." ”

"That's right, and buy half, it doesn't cost us our lives!"

"Let's work hard to make some trades, is it easy? Running around outside all year round, I don't have time to be at home, what do you want? Isn't it just trying to make a profit, but it was originally a small profit, and now the court is still taking it like this, how can we afford it? ”

A group of grain merchants looked over, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they couldn't help but complain together.

Although the middle-aged man at the head of the hall was dressed in white, he was not an ordinary businessman. In fact, there are a few ordinary businessmen who are engaged in the grain business. In particular, those who are engaged in this kind of large-scale grain business have to purchase grain from various places and organize transportation. Whether it is buying grain or transporting grain, it must be done well, the joints must be smooth, and there are people along the way.

The most important thing is that there has to be someone at the top, otherwise, if anyone gives you some problems, the business may be ruined.

Therefore, this kind of business, which requires a lot of capital and a wide range of roads, has to rely on the back. Ordinary landlords can only do some grain business in their own state and county, and it is not easy for grain merchants to cross the state and cross the road.

This middle-aged man, that's it. He is from Xinfeng, Guanzhong, surnamed Du, and his family has been a businessman for generations, but when he arrived, he leaned on the Jinggi Du family, and the Xinfeng Du family and the Jingzhao Du family have nothing to do with each other.

Because Du Li was reliable, he did well for the Jingzhao Du family, and later came out to do things, ostensibly because he was on his own, but in fact, his business capital was all from the Du family. It's just that the Du family looks up to him and regards him as a business partner, no longer a pure Du family steward.

Du Li took the capital of the Jingzhao Du family to operate the grain business, and also relied on the name of the Du family, coupled with his own ability, the business was good, and he could also pay a lot of dividends every year.

Especially in Shangluocheng, the Xinfeng Hall led by Du Li has attracted a group of fellow villagers, and they are usually very righteous and willing to stand up for their fellow villagers, so their prestige is very high.

Something happened, and everyone was willing to come to Du Li to get an idea.

Du Li was also a shabby family in his early years, and his family was a merchant for generations, but when he reached his generation, he had nothing. As a buddy for others, he began to run with the caravan at the age of twenty, and then became the caravan steward, then worked for the Du family, and now has his own scene.

He knows very well that to do business, you must have a backer.

Ordinary people do business, it's okay to make a small fuss, but once they become big and have no backing, it is casually the result of being cut by others, shearing leeks, shearing sheep or even killing pigs.

To be honest, since he relied on Jingzhao Du's family, Du Lidu felt that the business was too simple, and there were no extraneous branches.

Although the Jingzhao Du clan is not as good as the five surnames and seven sects in the Kanto region, it is also a famous family in Guanzhong for thousands of years.

Jing Zhao Weidu, go to the sky five feet.

In this dynasty, the Du family is even more incredible. Du Ruhui, Ping Zhangshi, Ministry of Officials. Du Yan, the imperial doctor. Du Ruhui is the prime minister, and he is also in charge of the world's official hat. Du Yan, an important minister in the court, the head of the officials.

The prominent position of the Du family's uncle and nephew in the court, Du Li has a deep understanding, and when he walks outside, the passage is becoming more and more unsmooth. In fact, this is a normal situation, which famous big business house is not behind those high-ranking families and powerful relatives?

This time, as soon as the imperial court issued an edict, Du Li also felt very unhappy. But after all, he is also an old man, and after observing for a few days, he found that this time the court was menacing.

Especially now that Li Chao is still serving as the Xuanfu envoy of Shannan Province, the governor of Dadu, and the construction envoy of Hanjing, Li Chao is obviously not easy to come to Beijing at this time.

Du Li's gaze swept over the faces of the fellow villagers, and he said slowly for a long time, "The imperial court has only issued an edict and bought it now, and we don't know how to operate it yet." But what I know is that the major families in Beijing, whether it is the prime minister's family, the prince's family, or the family of Xun Qi, which one did not respond immediately and did not immediately sell grain to the official warehouse? Don't talk about others, let's just say that Li Xiangguo, the first to sell grain, is tens of thousands of stones. ”

"How many of us are compared to that? It's not worth mentioning compared with them, in terms of status and status, we are just a group of small grain merchants, lowly businessmen. How much grain do we have in our warehouse? Does anyone have 10,000 stone of grain in his hand? Didn't you? Therefore, when the sky falls, there are still tall people to support first. If the tall man doesn't have any opinions, what's the use of us talking on the side? ”

"Are we really going to buy half of the grain at parity?" Some businessmen are still unwilling.

Seeing that the drought is getting worse and worse, everyone can see that the grain in their hands is going to rise steadily. If you keep it in your hands, you can make a lot of money, and now the market price is the same as buying, even if it is more profitable than the price they bought. But now in this market, if you don't make a lot of money, you will lose money.

"Lee Sang-kook is a powerful person, I advise everyone not to be this up-and-coming bird. It is said that the new official has three fires when he takes office, and if you collide directly, no one will be able to save him at that time. ”

As soon as Li Chao was mentioned, no one in the hall dared to complain anymore.

It's really too famous for this Li Chao.

Even if they are the merchants in the market, who doesn't know?

"It is said that Li Xiangguo is the best person to speak, even if it is not discrimination against businessmen." Someone said.

Du Li snorted coldly.

"Li Xiangguo does have a good reputation, but do you think Li Xiangguo is really the smiling Maitreya Buddha? Li Xiang is less than thirty this year, two years younger than His Majesty, at such an age, he is already Xiangguo, or the first minister who is favored by His Majesty today, how do you think it came about? I would like to advise you a few words, no matter how this matter develops, everyone should honestly wait and see what happens, and don't be the first bird! ”

The rafters that come out rot first, everyone understands this truth.

After some deliberation, the grain merchants attending the meeting left separately, and only a few people did not leave.

"Du Xingshou, do we really want to buy half of the grain and the imperial court?" One of them asked.

"Can we report a little less?"

Du Li chuckled twice, "I advise you not to play this kind of trick."

"That's going to take out half of it." The man shook his head reluctantly and sighed.

"It's just a little grain, what do you care about so distressed, if you believe me, then not only do you not hide it this time, but it's best to prepare the grain immediately, and as soon as Li Xiangguo arrives, you will immediately take out half of the grain and sell it to the government."

"This?"

"Brother Wang, if you can befriend Li Xiangguo, not to mention thousands of stones of grain and buy it to the imperial court, even if you give it away, it is completely worth it!" Du Li said with a smile, "Think about it, how many backers in this world are better than the Li family?" (To be continued.) )
