For some things, naturally there is no need to shy away from each other.
After listening to Jiang Pengji's plan, Liu She pondered for a while, and said dumbly, "Meng Zhan, this person understands his father, and he is extremely proud and pretentious. If you take Meng Ying as a hostage and ask him for rice, he will not only give it, but he may also add a lot more. ā
"Wouldn't it be a deception? For example, real rice mixed with fake rice to confuse the public, or an ambush would be set up in the grain transport procession?"
Jiang Pengji was a little stunned at this moment, she felt that Meng Zhan's thinking was really not something that normal people could understand.
Liu She shook his head and said, "Two thousand stone of grain is a huge amount of money for the people, and there are not so many ordinary squires. But for a family like the Meng family, it may not even be a dime. The Meng clan has occupied Cangzhou for many years, how can you imagine the background?"
Seeing Jiang Pengji pondering, Liu She took the opportunity to say, "Cangzhou is vast and rich in people, not to mention the Meng clan during the Xia Dynasty, just say that after the establishment of Dongqing, the Meng clan has been entrenched in Cangzhou for decades, and every year it has spent money and rice grain, which is enough for 100,000 troops to march and fight. ā
Therefore, two thousand stone of grain, Meng Zhan would not take it to heart at all.
According to Liu She's understanding of him, he may "generously" add 1,000 stone of grain, and send 3,000 stones.
"You kidnapped Meng Ying in the name of Meng Hun, the possibility of Meng Zhan doing things on the rice grain is almost zero, maybe the new grain sent is still good. Liu She snorted, Meng Zhan was not clear in private matters, but in official matters, he should not be underestimated.
Through Liu She's words, Jiang Pengji has fully understood.
"Father means...... Meng Zhan not only won't do anything about food, but will send it over in a bright light, so as to show that he, Meng Zhanren, is righteous, but Meng Hun is a hypocrite who can ignore the tragic death of his wife and daughter for a little food?"
"Well, according to what my father knows about him, nine times out of ten he will do this, and his ability to disgust people is not weak. ā
The one who knows you best is likely to be your opponent.
Liu She and Meng Zhan have severed their relations, the two families do not interact with each other, and there is a lot of friction in private, Liu She knows that person thoroughly.
Meng Zhan is extremely proud, and he will not easily condescend to fight with an inferior person like "Meng Hun", or in other words, he is too lazy to pay attention.
Jiang Pengji secretly sneered and said, "If that's the case, it's really disgusting." If Meng Ying was still alive, and the Meng clan used two thousand stones or more grain to safely exchange him back, Meng Hun would definitely become the object of ridicule and disrepute of the world. ā
However, Meng Ying is already dead, if Meng really dares to disgust her in this way, she will let the other party know what it means to be really disgusting!
But then again, I didn't expect the Meng family to be so rich, and the savings were so rich that it was eye-catching.
"I knew that he was so rich, so I asked for 350,000 stones, and I got a mere 2,000 stones, but it made people laugh secretly. ā
Jiang Pengji added with some unhappiness, "The Meng clan is so generous, it is estimated that tens of thousands of stone grains can be taken out without frowning." ā
Liu She was almost choked by his own saliva, his daughter was not a bandit in her last life, right?
"Two thousand stones is almost enough, no matter how much it is, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it. Liu She said dumbly, "Don't treat the Meng family as a wronged leader, they won't care about this little bit of petty profit, and they won't care about it, but if they want it very much, I'm afraid they will be really angry." ā
Can 2,000 stones and 20,000 stones be the same?
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, in Liu She's opinion, this is very suitable for his daughter.
Who would have nothing to do with Meng Shi's trouble?
She not only found it, but also slaughtered Meng Ying, and by the way, abducted Meng Hun, who had hatred with Meng.
How much hatred?
However, thinking about what Amin once said, he could understand it.
Maybe this is fate, my daughter and Meng's are born incompatible.
Jiang Pengji thought for a moment and asked, "Two thousand stone grain is just a small profit for the Meng Clan...... What about the other families?"
Liu She was puzzled and asked her, "What?"
"I was hoping to use this batch of grain to temporarily suppress the rising food prices," she said...... Father should also know that the matter of Mengjun in Cangzhou has not yet been spread, and only a few people know about it at present. When the real trouble is known to the world, I am afraid that the river will be affected. ā
From Hejian County to Cangzhou Meng County, it is only half a month away!
Once the civil unrest in Mengjun is publicized, the people will naturally be panicked, and it is normal for grain prices to rise accordingly.
"The impact is certain, but only two thousand stones...... If you want to make a profit from it, it is a good opportunity, you can easily multiply it three or five times, after all, it was sent by the Meng family for nothing, and it is more or less profitable...... But if you want to keep food prices down, it's definitely not enough. ā
After all, he is the person who is the county guard of Hu County, and he is a person of this era, so his prediction is naturally more accurate than Xu Ke and Jiang Pengji.
Not enough?
Jiang Pengji was slightly stunned, one stone is fifty kilograms, that is, one hundred catties, enough for a normal family of four to eat for forty or fifty days, this is still full, many people are frugal, and food can be combined with other foods, and it can last longer.
Hejian County is not big, and excluding those scholars, the number of ordinary people is only twenty or thirty thousand.
Most people still have surplus food saved in the previous year, but will it not be enough?
Liu She thought about it a little and knew where Jiang Pengji had miscalculated.
"Most of the people blindly obey, and some of them are listening to the wind and rain. Liu She explained to her in detail, "The reason why my father said that two thousand stones is not enough is because a rich family with surplus money in their hands may buy grain for a year or even longer at one time. However, your calculation is based on the amount of one or even half a month of consumption per person...... Careful calculation, 2,000 stone is indeed enough. ā
Liu She sighed and said, "You know that each household only needs to buy another month or two of grain, and if they persist until the autumn harvest, the food shortage will be alleviated, even if the civil unrest in Meng County in Cangzhou is severe, it will not really affect the people, but they will not consider this." ā
If Jiang Pengji wants to make a lot of money with two thousand stone grains, it will definitely be easy.
But if you hold down the price of grain, let alone 2,000 stones, even if it is 10,000 stones, it is estimated that it will be stretched.
Jiang Pengji frowned and thought seriously about Liu She's words.
Shameful and courageous, Jiang Pengji didn't feel embarrassed by Liu She's rejection of her plan, the other party knew this era better than her, as a native, Liu She had more experience, experience and insight into this era than her.
"If so...... What about the implementation of purchase restrictions?"
Liu She was puzzled, "Purchase limit?"
Jiang Pengji thought for a while and explained, "A few days before the rumors of civil unrest, the people were panicked and uneasy, and they would definitely rob them. Then the grain store suddenly launched 500 or 1,000 stone grain storage, so as to create the illusion of abundant grain storage, so that the people's hearts are stable. After that, there is a limit of 100 stone per day, and a limit on the weight of grain for each purchaser is enough to delay for a month!"
Jiang Pengji thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with this method, so she asked Liu She's opinion.
"What does Father think?"
Liu She: "......"
