Liu Wensheng hurriedly asked, "What do you say?"

Shen Xiaobao put down the teacup and said viciously: "Increase the intensity of speeding up the collection of grain, double the price of the harvested grain, no, triple it, and purchase all the surplus grain at any cost." After the news of the destruction of the granary comes out, the military will inevitably forcibly collect grain from several major grain banks in the country at a parity price, and then they will have no grain to pay, so they can only buy grain from us, and we will sell it to them in double. Hmph, hmph, I don't believe they can hold it!"

"But in this way, the price of food for the people will inevitably rise, if it is too much, it will inevitably attract the attention of the imperial court, and once the imperial court asks, I am afraid we will become the target." Liu Wensheng said with some worry.

Grain prices are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and if they are wantonly raised, they will inevitably be suppressed by the imperial court.

"All the grain stores of the Viet Thong Grain Bank still sell in limited quantities at the lowest price, and do not give people a handle. Besides, if we sell grain at a low price and supply grain to the military at a parity within the corresponding share, what reason do they have for us? Take 10,000 steps back and say, we will transport all the surplus grain we have collected first, and there is not a single grain of grain in the granary, what can they do?" Shen Xiaobao said.

"Wonderful!" Liu Wensheng's eyes shot a fierce gaze, "I'll discuss this matter with my in-laws and increase the amount of grain requisitioned several times." We're not here to make money, we're here to break them. Xiao Shen, don't worry, Xiao'er will definitely minimize the share of grain levied by Yuetong Grain Bank. As for the rest of the grain shops, wait and see!"

The reason why the Yuetong grain store went bankrupt was that it had a lot to do with other grain stores that did not save them or even fell into the ground, and Liu Wensheng had long wanted to take revenge.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Shen Xiaobao shook his fan and laughed, "This matter will trouble Liu Lao, and when they are defeated, all those who have contributed their strength can be allowed to share in their grain store, and everyone will collect firewood and the flame is high! ”

Xiao Shen is worthy of being a business wizard. ”

The strength of the distant business group, Shen Xiaobao is resourceful and generous, seeing that with this plan alone, the Yuetong Grain Bank can pocket other grain banks without much effort, and take the opportunity to let the people involved in it give shares, which has invisibly attracted countless relationships, and it will be difficult for the Yuetong Grain Bank not to make a fortune in the future.

Liu Wensheng was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground.

In Kang'an City, by Xiaonan Lake.

Rouge Lane is the most famous fireworks place in Kang'an City by Xiaonan Lake.

At this moment, in the Yixin courtyard of Rouge Lane, the red lanterns are hung high, the sheng song is faint, the dark fragrance is pervasive, and the songs and laughter are heard from time to time, and the atmosphere of singing and dancing is leveling.

Yixin Courtyard is the most famous green building in Kang'an City, there are countless small courtyards in the courtyard, all carved beams and painted buildings, arranged with exquisite garden scenery, rockery, green bamboo, small bridge, flowing water, red lights, beauties...... It deserves to be the first garden in the south of the Yangtze River.

The west wing of Qiu Shuangzhai is brightly lit, and three men sit around three rectangular tables, which are full of exquisite dishes, and there are beautiful women next to each other, who are smiling and toasting each other.

The one in the middle is dressed in brocade and embroidered robes, with a handsome face and extraordinary manners; the one on the right is thin and dashing, but his eyes are a little obscene, and his smile is cute; the man on the left is tall, with thick eyebrows and big hands, and it is Luo Hao.

Luo Hao took the wine glass and said to the man in the middle: "Fourth prince, what do you think of these beauties?"

In front of the three of them, there were four stunning beauties. All are of medium stature, silk skirts fluttering, or charming, or bright, or noble, or beautiful, all carefully selected, the skin is as fair as snow, the eyes are full of autumn water, charming, and deep into the oriole cry.

The fourth prince smiled and shook his head: "Brother Luo, I am just an idle prince, I have no power or power, but I can't help you with the consortium." You are gold and silver, and you are a beautiful woman, and you are a gift from the estate, could it be that your money is blown by the wind? How can you squander it so wantonly?"

Luo Hao waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "The fourth prince said that he was laughing. Although I am the chief treasurer of the Tonghe Foundation, I am actually just a gangster who does not learn and has no skills, and I like to make friends the most. Fourth Prince, Brother Ye, don't look down on me because of this! I don't look down on power when I make friends. Between brothers, there are rich and rich, difficulties and difficulties, wine and prostitution...... No, no......"

Luo Hao stopped suddenly, and slapped himself on the mouth, "Look at my stinky mouth, the dog's mouth can't spit out ivory, nonsense, it's really something that doesn't learn and can't learn......"

The other two were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"Brother Luo is really temperamental!" The lewd man squinted his eyes and said loudly, this person is Ye Bao, the second son of the Hubu Shangshu, and the other person is Zhao Xing, the fourth prince of South Vietnam.

Zhao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease.

Several brothers of the South Vietnamese royal family are fighting openly and secretly, and they are tense every day, Zhao Xing does not like those silent and sinister people, but likes some scheming subordinates, Luo Hao's gangster character, but he is very angry with him.

Zhao Xing sighed: "Even so, after all, it is useless. I heard that your Tonghe Consortium has already opened, and I can't help with other helps, but as for what you just said, Brother Chongluo, I can introduce some friends to meet you, and if you want to collect any extra money to deposit, I really can't help. ”

Looking at the four lively beauties, Zhao Xing's heart was moved, and he laughed at himself: "I'm just an idle prince, relying on the monthly money of the Zongren Mansion, even if all of them are deposited in the Tonghe Consortium Money Village, it is estimated that you will not be able to look down on it, but I dare not accept your beauties, even if I accept it, it is estimated that I can't afford to raise it." ”

Ye Bao shook his head and said: "I have some pocket money that can be deposited in Tonghe Consortium Bank, and I can also introduce a few good friends and bring you some savings, they all have some business, and together they should be a lot." In fact, the fourth brother also has a lot of business outside, and the interest of the money village is the same, so it is better to bring it all to the big brother Luo. ”

Zhao Xing shook his head and said: "My business is all petty trouble, and I only occupy a small share, so it's hard to speak." ”

The idle prince has no power and power, and he can't directly come forward to do business, so the business is naturally not big.

What's more, a dignified prince can introduce friends to Luo Hao to recognize, but it is really a bit of a loss to come forward to solicit deposits.

Luo Hao grinned and said: "It's enough to have four princes, it's good if friends have hearts, but the so-called sharing of blessings is not about giving money, but about having something to do together!"

Ye Bao couldn't help but move in his heart, and raised his head to look at Luo Hao.

Luo Hao smiled and said: "What's the matter with collecting deposits? Fourth Prince, Brother Ye, I don't know if you are interested in partnering with me to buy a money bank? I am a gangster who does not learn and has no skills, and it is inconvenient for the fourth prince to come forward, I wonder if Brother Ye is interested in being the shopkeeper of a money bank?"

The fourth prince and Ye Bao changed their complexion when they heard this.

Ye Bao hurriedly said: "What do you mean by Brother Luo? Let me be the treasurer of the money bank?"

Ye Bao's heart pounded in an instant, and his eyes straightened.

Ye Bao, as the second son of the household Shangshu, naturally studied poetry and books since he was a child, but because he was a concubine, he was not valued by his father and family, and he has been idle at home.

Nanyue has always been hierarchical, and the status of the concubine is very different, although for the sake of his father's face, no one embarrasses him, but Ye Bao interacts with people, and always feels the cold eyes and contempt implied in the hearts of the world, especially those disciples of wealthy families, who look down on Ye Bao in their hearts, so Ye Bao is very close to the four princes who are also idle.

"Xiao Ye has always been very yearning for business, but he has never had a chance, if he really wants him to be the shopkeeper of the bank, he would like to. Zhao Xing said with a smile.

Ye Bao breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down and said, "Brother Luo, don't be joking, I have only read a few books and have no business experience, how can I be the treasurer of a money bank?"

Ye Bao shook his head and said: "Is it easy to buy a money bank? There are only four money houses in South Vietnam, Wu Kee, Yue Tai, Bao Feng and Hop Sheng, all of which have been run by families for generations, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to intervene. Even if there is really one money bank to sell, it will definitely attract competition from the other three, and the price will fly to the sky. What's more, the four major money banks are extremely closely related to each other, and even if they are sold, most of them will only be sold to the other three money banks, which is not just a matter of price. ”

It is also easy to understand that money banks have a long history of operation, and there are too many relationships between them, and some things are not just a matter of money.

The fourth prince nodded and sighed slightly: "To buy a money bank, the silver tael required is more than millions of millions, which can we get? ”

The fourth prince and Ye Bao pondered for a moment, both feeling a little frustrated, and were speechless for a while.

Luo Hao smiled: "It's hard to say this, and it's easy to say." ”

Ye Bao looked straight at Luo Hao and said, "Don't sell Guanzi, Brother Luo, say it quickly." ”

"Do you know about the Northern Wei Dynasty's Southern Expedition?"

Hearing this, the fourth prince and Ye Bao looked at each other and nodded, this matter is not a secret.

"Naturally, I've heard of this. ”

With the identities and backgrounds of the two of them, it is not difficult to know these things.

"The more and more commercial houses in the south, especially the trading houses of grain, iron, salt and cloth, took advantage of the imminent outbreak of war to hoard a large number of goods in an attempt to make a fortune in the country, do you think about it, where does their money come from?" Luo Hao said softly.

"Qianzhuang!" the two said in unison.

"Yes!" Luo Hao smiled, waved his hand and said to the beauties present: "You go down first." ”

Luo Hao lowered his voice and said: "At the head of the national crisis, all the money banks have lent out almost all the surplus money, so that those black-hearted businessmen can make a fortune in the country and help the abuse, isn't it hateful?"

"It's hateful!" Ye Bao echoed casually, with a puzzled expression on his face, "But Qian Zhuang is a lender, what does this matter have to do with us?"

"All the money in the bank is released, and there is almost no money left, at this time, if someone withdraws a large amount of money from the bank, and the money bank has no money to pay, do you guess it will happen?"

"If there is no money to pay, the money bank will go bankrupt. The fourth prince vaguely understood something, "No matter how big the account is, it will not let the money run out of cash, after all, the money bank has more or less liquidity, unless it is ......"

"Unless the imperial court withdraws silver!" Ye Bao came to his senses, "In addition to some of the treasury silver of the imperial court, there is also a large amount of cash silver stored in the four money banks, and if the court withdraws a large amount of money from the money bank, the money bank will go bankrupt." No one dares to default on the withdrawal of the treasury and silver, and it is a crime of rebellion to default on the treasury and silver. ”

Ye Bao said viciously: "I'll tell my father to go and find out which money is tight, and find a reason to withdraw money from which bank." ”

The fourth prince came to his senses, slapped his thigh and said: "My father-in-law is the secretary of the criminal department, hmph, who dares not to immediately redeem the treasury cash, immediately raid the house and arrest people! Brother Luo, you are ready to buy the silver taels needed by the money bank, and at the same time release the wind, so that the rest of the money bank does not dare to reach out to save it, so as not to be withdrawn from the cash." I want to see if anyone dares to get along with us, let him go bankrupt!"

The three of them are in high spirits, several money banks are based on the credibility of the commercial bank to lend silver two, borrowing merchants can delay repayment, in the face of the imperial court's treasury silver two embodiment, the money village absolutely does not dare to delay, no money to pay, can only sell the bank, otherwise wait to raid the house.

The three of them had faintly seen a certain money bank in their pockets, and the more they talked, the happier they became, and there was laughter in Qiu Shuangzhai for a while.
