"The price of grain in other state capitals has gone up, and they can still sell it so cheaply? So don't worry, he won't last a few days. When the price of grain in other state capitals rises, he will have to sell it at a higher price, and then those disaster victims and ordinary people will buy it? ”

The man hooked the corners of his mouth proudly, and seeing that Xia Mingqun's expression was obviously loose, he immediately added more fire.

"The silver for disaster relief in the imperial court is only 50,000 taels, plus the silver donated by everyone, how much food can be bought? As long as the price of food rises, we can afford it. It was even said that there were also the wages of the victims and the silver for diverting the river embankment in those silvers, and soon Lord Gu was overstretched. ”

When Xia Mingqun heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed. That's right! What Qin Shengting said is indeed reasonable.

What they Xia have is silver, and they can afford it completely.

It's just that if Gu Chengyu can really get a steady stream of cheap food, then wouldn't he be able to get on a thief ship and get off?

So much silver, it's not a small amount, even if the Xia family has a big business, it will be very distressing!

The business that was originally profitable and did not lose money was disturbed by Gu Chengyu like this, and it was a lot of trouble, and this Gu Chengyu really had a conflict with their Xia family.

According to the original plan, this rice grain will definitely earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Now because of Gu Chengyu, he almost lost his capital.

Patriarch Xia scolded Gu Chengyu thousands of times in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't be able to vent the hatred in his heart!

Now he can only compare endurance and silver with Gu Chengyu, and he doesn't believe that Gu Chengyu's financial strength can compare to their Xia family.

Suddenly, he thought of a good idea, and Xia Mingqun showed a sad smile.

The expression on his face also changed from the previous apprehension and hesitation to the smug color of Zhizhu in his hand.

"Then I'll bother Master Qin, the old man wants the five thousand stones!"

"Patriarch Xia is so courageous, this time he will definitely be able to get what he wants and make a lot of money!" Qin Shengting stood up and arched his hand towards Xia Mingqun.

"Borrow the auspicious words of Master Qin!" Xia Mingqun looked arrogant and returned a salute to Qin Shengting.

After Qin Shengting left, Xia Mingqun hurriedly asked the entourage outside the door to grind ink. Within a quarter of an hour, Xia Mingqun handed a few posts to his entourage.

"Send these posts to these houses immediately."

Ju Haoming was in a hurry in the house, and this adult liked to hang out in front of him when he had nothing to do. Now there is something serious to look for him, but there is no one to be found.

How could this keep him from being in a hurry? They live in a small family, and they can't afford to toss!

Originally, they just wanted to make more money, but since they took refuge in that person, where could they still get out of the Ju family, and they have been involved in right and wrong.

"Sir! Outside the door, Xia Mansion handed over a post and invited the old man to come over to the house. ”

The steward took a gilded post and respectfully handed it to Ju Haoming.

"Xia Fu?" Ju Haoming was a little stunned, he didn't expect Xia Fu to send him a post.

......

"Okay, today's grain is sold out, and if you haven't bought any food, come back tomorrow to buy it."

One of the officials put away the things on the table, and then walked with another official to the palace with a heavy wooden box.

"Huh? Uncle Poor, why is there no food? When the grain truck entered the city today, we all saw it. With so much food, why don't you let us buy it? ”

A man with a cloth bag in his hand, looking forward to it.

Who knew that as soon as it was the turn of the third person in front of him, the official said that there was no food, how could he be willing? He waited in line for a long time, just to buy a pound of food, and go back to make porridge to drink.

"That's it for today, if you don't buy it, then please be early tomorrow, today's grain has been sold."

Gu Chengyu naturally couldn't supply an unlimited amount, and he only sold five hundred catties of grain a day. Sell out and stop, never sell more.

"What? Have to wait for tomorrow? But our family has no food, and the government can't ignore us! ”

Some people were not reconciled, so they shouted loudly.

"Yes! With so much grain, why can't we sell more of it, and we don't give us silver? Is it true that only the victims of the disaster can buy it, but we can't? ”

"Humph! What is the truth? This rice was bought by Lord Chincha from other state capitals for a lot of silver, do you know how much effort it took to spend it? I have already lost a lot of money by selling it to you for ten pennies a catty. Who wouldn't want to buy rice? If you don't look at you pitifully, can you think of you like this? This rice is not easy to come by, you sit back and enjoy it, and there are such big opinions? ”

When everyone heard this, they were embarrassed to say more.

Indeed, what is the price of grain now? Being able to buy a pound of brown rice for ten cents is already pie in the sky.

"My lord! The patriarch of the Xia clan sent a post to the four mansions and invited them to talk about it. Mingmo entered the room and said to Gu Chengyu, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.

"But the four families who hoard the most rice and grain?" Gu Chengyu opened his eyes, and he was not surprised by Mingmo's report.

"Exactly!" Mingmo nodded, and as soon as he came back, his family asked him to pay close attention to the movements of the big merchants in the city.

"This Xia patriarch is really idle! Looks like he's going to have to find something to do! Gu Chengyu didn't take Patriarch Xia seriously, he estimated the days, and felt that the previous letter must have arrived in the capital.

"There was also a caravan that had entered the city just now, and from the observation of the villain, the carriage was only loaded with grain. The villain estimated that it was about 5,000 stones. ”

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, "Five thousand stones? Where did you go? ”

"It's Xia Fu!"

This Xia Mansion is not small, Gu Chengyu sneered. After knowing that he had rice and grain to sell cheaply, he still had such courage, which should not be underestimated.

From the moment the other party knew that he was selling rice, within half a day, he would be able to come up with countermeasures, and he was worthy of being the patriarch of the Xia clan.

"My lord, what should we do now? After collecting so much grain, they naturally planned to sell it for more money. But we've disrupted their plans to make a fortune, and if they don't fall for it, we won't last long. ”

Thinking about it now, Mingmo still thinks that his own adults are really crazy.

Before he went to buy rice, the lord had told him to buy only ten stone of rice, but when he returned, he reported six hundred stone.

There is indeed a cat in this, and this cat is related to the adult's plan.

"These people just can't afford to spend it, so they plan to unite and resist us together. They are all one of the largest households in Yingnan Mansion, and there is no need to say whether there is money in this or not. We can go to Sunan Province to buy grain, and they can also go to the state capital a little farther away to buy it. In order to make more money, they are planning to fight me! ”

Gu Chengyu chuckled, these people are really for the silver, and they will do everything.

"Huh? My lord, what should we do? We don't have that much silver. If they buy all the rice and grain around them, won't we be going to show our stuffing? ”
