Chapter 1184: Food War
Yan Saburo grabbed the notebook and casually flipped through two pages: "It's really a lot." It's basically cleared, right?"
The cat also turned over, pressed its two front paws on the ledger, and looked at it intently.
The work of settling accounts is too boring, she doesn't like it, but she likes to watch the money on the books go up!
Taking money out of other people's pockets is so rewarding.
"Yes. Li Kailiang's smile was bloodthirsty, "Let's sell our conscience, those calves are looking for people to line up to buy, just Yan Ji on Shengyi Wutong Road, the line is fifteen zhang away." Now that we're sold out, the next step is to move the bench and watch the show in the front row. β
In the past, unlike the other men of the victorious king, he did not like to fight. In fact, shopping malls are like battlefields, but there is no blood to kill, no knives are used to harm people, and murder is not lost by real knives and real guns, he likes this feeling.
Yan Saburo also smiled. The inventory of Yanji Grain Store is large, and it can be bought out, and I don't know how many grain merchants have been fed, which shows how hot the atmosphere of roasting grain outside has become.
Many chambers of commerce even collectively huddle for hype.
In fact, if a smart person finds out the amount of surplus grain in Yanji Grain Store, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be vigilant. It's a pity that Yanji's bulk shipments rarely go to the special grain market, and most of the grain is sold by stores and market shops, which is very scattered, and others have no way to count it.
This is also what Li Kailiang specially explained.
So, with so many semicolons for so many days, how much water has been walked in a day, except for Li Kailiang and Yan Saburo, even the big shopkeepers below have no data.
The major shopkeepers were even mentioned in front of Li Kailiang in advance and warned one by one, and the leakers would be driven out of Yanji, and it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Shengyi.
With Qing Lebo's ability, it is easy to do this, so even if outsiders frequently inquire, Yan Ji's information has not been leaked for the time being.
It was Yanji's act of selling grain instead of collecting grain, which was quietly drowned in the carnival army of frying grain, and not many people noticed it.
As he was talking, Huo Dong strode in with a serious face: "Chang closed the position and opened the position again, this time the price is fifty-five Wen!"
The official grain has been released again, and the price is ten cents lower than the first wave!
If the market of the entire grain market was originally like a whole pot of boiling oil, the more it burns, the more prosperous it becomes, then the news that the grain is cheaper and ten cents is often closed, just like pouring water into this oil pot, and white smoke is emitted with a "sizzle" sound.
This is not like the regular operation of the royal court, the grain merchants were a little dazed for a while, but soon the leader reacted: "Buy, buy again!"
The cost of their purchase is 65 yuan, which is higher than the current price. As the price falls, the only way to spread the cost is to buy big again.
The second batch of grain is usually closed, the amount is small, taking the local warehouse of Shengyi as an example, it was sold out in only one and a half days.
The people complained again: what is the use of lowering prices, the grain has been bought up by speculators, and those who need it still have not fished.
The ministers also wrote to Xiao Mi, explaining the method of adjusting food.
Xiao Mi sneered when chatting with Han Zhaoxu: "Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, many of them are also secretly frying grain, is it not enough to open Dai Lu alone?"
"No one is too much money. "Han Zhao is a military attachΓ©, and he has fought a lot of battles, but he has never bothered about these civil affairs and people's livelihood," my lady listened to Yan Shichu's persuasion and sold all the grain in the grain store under her name. β
"It should. Xiao Mi's eyes were full of murder, "I also helped Gu feed the calves a little." β
After the second release of grain from Chang Ping, the grain merchants were in high spirits. The grain in the official warehouse was sold out in less than a day and a half, indicating that the stock was insufficient.
The official grain has been bought, and I can't look at them anymore? Those who bought it smiled from ear to ear, and they were annoyed that they didn't buy enough.
Sure enough, the next day, the price of free grain in the grain market rose by 15 wen, reaching the retail price of 70 per bucket.
Speaking of which, this price has dropped by 30 wen compared to more than 100 wen per bucket ten days ago, a drop of as much as 40%. However, the people are reluctant to sell, firstly, the official has a free porridge shed to solve the urgent need, and secondly, everyone bought a little high-priced grain a few days ago, but the official has dropped it twice in a row.
After three days, the position is often closed and then opened, and this time it sells 50 wen per bucket.
The number of buyers decreased so much that it lasted for 12 days before it was basically sold out.
Subsequently, the price of grain rebounded freely to 60 wen per bucket.
Since then, the market has diverged.
There are those who still buy grain in large quantities, and there are those who hesitate to sell some of it to reduce losses. All eyes are on one place:
Where is the "bottom" of food prices this time?
In the seventh day, the position was often closed and the grain was released, and the price was 45 Wen.
Now don't talk about grain merchants, the common people can see it: the official family is going to push down the price of grain step by step.
In the evening of the same day, Huang Da came to Yan Saburo with a smile: "Young master, the price of rice has dropped again, and now it is forty wen a bucket." "It's not so distressing to eat.
"Oh?" Yan Saburo was reading a book, and raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "How is it cheaper than Guancang?"
"I don't know. "How did Huang Da know the mystery here," the abnormal liquidation began to release grain in the morning, and the price of grain began to fall, falling to the current forty-three Wen. β
Yan Saburo asked him: "Do you see if the grain stores are temporarily inserting bids, saying that they want to reduce prices?"
"Yes, yes!" Huang Dalian nodded repeatedly, "Drop is down, I don't see anyone in the store buying." β
"If no one buys it, it will go down. The white cat clung to the table and waited for the sunset, "Some people can't stand it." β
Sure enough, that night, Yan Saburo received news that the rice grain sold in the market suddenly increased significantly, and the supply was very abundant.
"Some grain merchants who bought at a high price in the early stage saw that the more they bought, the more they fell, they couldn't stand it, and they sold grain to stop losses. "The point is, no one knows how much grain can be released in the regular closing position, including Yan Saburo. Li Kailiang said with a smile, "I think the grain sold in Shengyi alone has increased by more than three or five times. β
There are still few people who can buy it. Everyone wants to wait and see if it can fall again.
There is more grain, fewer buyers, supply exceeds demand, and prices naturally go down.
As a result, the grain that is often closed cannot be sold, because the market price of grain is cheaper than it.
Ten days later, the price of grain fell back to 35 wen per bucket on its own, and there was no market for it.
For the people, this price is still not cheap, but it is only three percent of the peak hours, and when they are hungry, they grit their teeth and buy a full stomach, and their lives can still go on.
Gone are the days when food was looted. After another 10 days, the price of grain has dropped to 30 wen, and the supply is stable.
At this time, the merchants who hoarded a large amount of grain in the early stage were the most uncomfortable, and the price did not go up or down, and they had to endure hard if they were reluctant to cut the meat.
