Five days later, the members of the grain bank in Guizhou gathered together for a general meeting.

Wu Er only felt that his head was buzzing, and he could barely hear what the head of the line was saying. He silently counted the money he had invested in this round in his heart, and he couldn't figure it out.

He relied on the fact that someone in his family was in the Guizhou Mansion, and there was absolutely no accident, so he had the courage to stake the land in his hand to collect grain. Originally, it was planned that as long as the price of grain rose to 800 wen a bucket, he would sell it all and leave nothing. But with the soaring price, he had no way to control his greed, and only produced some grain when he was a thousand wen and a bucket, and then hurriedly bought it on a large scale.

He had just learned that the grain in Xingping's warehouse was going to be sold out in a few days, and he was excited, thinking that making a fortune was just around the corner, but he never thought that he would be called to the grain store immediately.

Xing Shou's voice was very steady, as if he was talking about something light, and he repeated what he had just said, "It's only time to pass now, and there are already 800 ships of grain and rice unloaded at the dock today, and this is not counting the grain and rice that came in from the two city gates. I just received the news that those grain merchants from other places sold their grain at the wharf at a price of 800 wen a bucket as soon as they docked. With our financial resources, we can't cover this stall anymore. I'll discuss with everyone if we will get all the food out today. ”

There was a sudden uproar in the hall, and you and I expressed your opinions word by word, and someone interjected loudly: "Haven't you already explained to the people at the dock, let them make it clear to those dealers from other places, don't be greedy and cheap, and lower the price?!" ”

The head of the line said angrily: "It's coming soon, who doesn't rush back for the New Year, don't let him sell it, have you collected the grain at the price of 1,500 wen a bucket?" I don't have that money left! ”

The man was dumbfounded.

In the past, there were indeed traders from other places who were in a hurry to get rid of them, and when they met these people, they were all people from the grain stores in Guizhou City who united and collected the grain in their hands at a more suitable price. But now, as food prices are rising, the cost has reached an outrageous level that no one can afford it.

Wu Er couldn't help but speak: "Falling to eight hundred wen a bucket, at this price, whoever makes a move will have broken hands and feet, it is better for everyone to grit their teeth and carry it, and at the price, sell the grain to the yamen in the next few days, anyway, the grain that Xing closed will be empty soon!" Didn't the yamen also employ tens of thousands of people to repair the city walls and dams? There were also those who helped make winter clothes and bedding for the front line, and they promised to pay for them with food at the end of the month, and they would be able to sell them after all. ”

These days, in order to raise prices, the people in the grain industry have bought at high prices, and the natural cost has increased a lot. At this time, Wu Er was really surging in blood.

I could have earned a thousand, but now I can only earn six hundred, and the profits have shrunk suddenly, who can bear it?!

When he said this, everyone agreed. Everyone formed a wave of joint force, persuaded the hesitant leader, and prepared to hold on for another two days, and slowly sell the grain at hand at a high price.

The grain merchants each sent men to the wharf, and the city gate guarded the grain.

It didn't take long for everyone to realize that something was wrong.

There are too many boats, carriages and horses coming to Guizhou, and more than one day at a time, at first they are all retail households in nearby states and counties, and then they are hawkers on nearby state roads.

When Wu Er talked to an outpost and learned that the other party's fleet had 3,000 stone of grain, his eyes went black and he almost fell to the ground on the spot.

Food prices in the city of Guizhou have begun to plummet, and the rate of dive is even more alarming than before.

By the end of the month, it was only ten cents higher than the same period last year!

Xingping not only restored the original level of grain storage, but also doubled the grain storage.

The people of Guizhou City watched a big play, but they ate a month's worth of cheap grain peacefully; The displaced people had eaten a lot of food in the city of Guizhou this winter, and they had a lot of money and food, and they heard that the front line had been pacified, and Tai Ban was ready to return home; The yamen not only solved the problem of grain prices, but also appeased the displaced people at a very low cost and built many large projects.

Only those grain merchants who hoarded and were insatiable, and who could not make enough money in the country, almost lost their families.

Wu Er tried his best, but he only redeemed less than one-tenth of the land, and his vitality was greatly damaged since then. The brother-in-law in the government not only did not help, but dissociated himself from the outside world. This matter has not been mentioned.

In the middle of the palace, Zhou Qin flipped through the account book in his hand and was pleased to find that the price of grain had dropped to one hundred wen and one bucket.

Although it is still higher than before, this is because it is close to the New Year's Festival, which is a normal price increase.

She grinned and took the account book to find Zhou Yanzhi.

Zhou Yanzhi sat in front of the window and watched his sister enter the yard with a smile on her face, so she asked through the window, "What is so happy?" ”

Zhou Qin said with a smile: "The price of grain has fallen, and now it is a hundred wen and a bucket!" ”
