Chapter 107: Li Xianggong Goes to the Countryside

Guo Wei is nearly half a hundred years old, he has experienced too many ups and downs, and it is easy to sit on the throne, he will not easily trust anyone, even if the other party says that the tongue is blooming, he can't be gullible. It is a good habit for an emperor to be thoughtful and weigh carefully.

One of their holy decrees often determines the life and death of thousands of people, and countless families will be ruined because of wrong decisions, so they cannot be cautious.

Guo Wei didn't even alarm Ye Hua, he completely stood in the role of a bystander, looking at Ye Hua's efforts.

The idea of the commercial street was made by Ye Hua, and others only learned a little bit of skin, if it is so easy to make money, what else do you have to do with your brains.

Since the bet, Ye Hua has been very busy every day, from the surrounding countryside, there are grain, vegetables, meat, game, homespun cloth, furs, medicinal materials and other goods, which are continuously transported to the neighborhood.

At the entrance of each store, there is a banner of affordable sales and even discount promotions.

This is a time when everything is wasted, and the people don't have a lot of money in their pockets, and because of this, the price is particularly critical, even if it is only cheaper, they are willing to go to most of the city and queue up to buy it.

3 copper cabbage, 10 yuan for a bag of radish, 20 yuan for two hares...... People who bought bargains were smiling, especially when they found that the quality was not bad, they were like having a baby, and the women were especially willing to show off to their neighbors how good they could get by.

The men of the family will also smile approvingly, and the women will seem to be encouraged, calling for friends and attracting more guests.

After a period of brewing, Ye Hua finally began to sell grain...... Each bucket is 25 Wen, one stone and ten buckets, according to 245 Wen, and there is a special person to send it to the home.

This price is posted, and it is definitely a sensational ultra-low price for Kaifeng.

In the troubled times, grain is expensive, in the years of the reign of the Later Han Dynasty, a bucket of rice was the most expensive reached 70 Wen, and when Guo Wei became the emperor, he removed the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, especially last year's bumper harvest, the price of grain dropped to 35 Wen per bucket, and the people rejoiced and praised the wisdom of the Son of Heaven!

In the hearts of ordinary people, as long as they can be fed, it is the son of heaven.

In the capital in front of him, the worst corn costs twenty-seven or eighty wen, and the price offered by Ye Hua is definitely attractive.

Soon crowds of people came to buy food.

The attentive woman would bring the grain home and compare it with what she had bought.

The color of this grain is a little miscellaneous, but it is better to be clean, there are no stones, straw sticks or anything, and the cooked rice is also sweet, overall, it is a big bargain!

In this way, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and more and more people gathered.

People not only buy food, but also look at other things by the way, and when they encounter cheap goods, they make a decisive move, and secretly go home and laugh.

The person in charge of the grain store was the king's shopkeeper, and the old king used to have a grain store, but the officials of the Later Han Dynasty robbed the grain and burned the shop, and even his wife died...... In desperation, he followed Ye Hua to collect the corpse of the Guo family, angrily lifted the stone, and fought desperately with the eagle dogs of the imperial court......

When the new king ascended the throne, the king's shopkeeper did not ask for any reward, he just silently returned to the ruins of his own grain store and silently rebuilt the shop.

Brick by brick, sweat the most, do the hardest work, can't afford to hire workers, all come by themselves, work day and night.

For more than half a year, the shopkeeper succeeded in building the shop again, and the people were darker and thinner than before, and he felt that there was no difficulty to defeat him.

As the saying goes, the boy who collected the corpse with him at the beginning came here, and he also became the champion of the Great Zhou!

Shopkeeper Wang thought about it for a long time, but refused Ye Hua's invitation.

Ye Hua smiled, he was not angry at all, but was very relieved that he had found the right person.

"Are you worried that I will rely on the identity of the champion Hou, take advantage of the wealth, and do hoarding and hoarding, you are afraid of being implicated, and your conscience will not be able to get by?"

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly shook his head, but his hesitant look betrayed his true thoughts, after all, the set of things that Ye Hua tossed, no matter how you look at it, does not look like an honest person who operates with integrity.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I trust your character, so I want to cooperate with you, if it is not reliable, I will definitely not look for it, because I want to do a big thing......"

Ye Hua described his blueprint to the shopkeeper Wang, Kaifeng is such a big city, so many people, the daily food and drink is not a small amount, the price is chaotic, fluctuating and unstable, it is not good for anyone.

Ye Hua is going to set up a trading market and provide benchmark prices, and other businessmen will refer to the market price and float up and down, so as not to split the spectrum, so as not to go up and down, so as not to cause both the public and the farmers to suffer.

After thinking about it carefully, the shopkeeper felt that this method was really good, and the champion Hou would take the lead, and there was a great hope of success, so he gladly joined.

Shopkeeper Wang helped to operate, Ye Hua asked his subordinates to form a team, go separately to buy grain and agricultural products, and transport them to the market for sale, not many days, sure enough, the business is booming, the popularity is booming, and even the surrounding shops have increased by thirty percent of the business than before.

Guo Wei made another private visit, this street is thriving every day, how nice it would be if the whole world was like this! Boss Guo also called Li Gu over, and looking at everything in front of him, this Li Xianggong's face was like the bottom of a black pot.

"Li Xianggong, you said that Ye Hua's deeds are flashy, but I saw that he personally went to the countryside to buy, personally weighed, did it himself, was genuine, and did business honestly, how can I punish him?"

Li Gu's face was solemn, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the champion Hou is indeed selling cheaply, but the old minister thinks that whether there is a trick or a move to squeeze the farmers, please ask Your Majesty to find out." ”

Guo Wei smiled, "Okay, let him come over and talk to you!" ”

Soon, Ye Hua came, and after greeting Guo Wei, Guo Wei told Li Gu's questions.

"Li Xianggong asked me to punish you for the sake of my family and country, and I think you are squeezing farmers, what do you have to say?"

Ye Hua glanced at Li Gu and sneered, he raised his slap, full of arrogance, the palms and fingers of his hands were all calloused, "Li Xianggong, how are your hands?" Do you dare to take it out and compare it? ”

What is there to compare this, Li Gu's hands are white and fat, and they are more delicate than a woman's.

"Li Xianggong, a person who doesn't touch the spring water with his hands, is untenable to say that others are flashy and opportunistic?" Ye Hua smiled, "The strategy you gave His Majesty is nothing more than copying the national policy of the Tang Dynasty, and I don't see anything clever!" ”

Li Gu gritted his teeth and said, "You say that Datang's way of governing the country is not clever? ”

"Don't dare!" Ye Hua said with a smile: "I only know that the strategy of the early Tang Dynasty has existed in name only when it was in Wu Zhou, and it has only been maintained for decades. Lee Sang-gong, can you tell me, if it is a good national policy, why can't it be maintained for a long time? ”

"This ......" Li Gu certainly had a reason, but he couldn't find enough convincing for a while, so he simply asked: "What is the high opinion of the champion Hou?" ”

Ye Hualang said: "Gao Jian doesn't dare to say, but I'm afraid it won't be possible to rely on books alone, Li Xianggong, if you can follow my convoy to the countryside and see what the people really think, maybe you will have another opinion." Otherwise, I can't agree with red mouth and white teeth, and make irresponsible remarks! ”

Ye Hua was sure that these literati were high-handed, and they could only play tricks and ruthlessly beat Li Gu's army.

Let a high-powered, pampered prime minister go to the countryside to work with mud legs and buy grain and vegetables, it is a shame for Sven to sweep the floor and lose face!

Li Gu's old face was blue and red for a while, and the tendons in his temples were tense.

Guo Wei saw that Li Gu was really embarrassed, and he couldn't bear to let him lose face, so he could only say: "Li Xianggong, let's discuss this matter later!" ”

Who knew that Li Gu suddenly shook his head, "Your Majesty, what the champion Hou can do, the old minister can also do, I beg Your Majesty's permission, tomorrow the old minister will go to the countryside, and it is just the right time to understand the means of the champion Hou!" ”
