Chapter 182: Madness

Now that the price of grain in Guizhou is soaring, everyone wants to stock up more, thirty buckets, and sell it when the door is opened. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the shop opened this morning, there were already more than 20 customers lined up at the door. If you really want to sell only 30 buckets a day, I'm afraid that those who can't buy it will make a fuss, so it's better to just close down!

Wu Er smiled shyly and said, "Yes, don't sell more than a bucket!" You only have a shop, and someone comes in and asks, and they say that today's grain has been sold out. ”

The shopkeeper couldn't help but have a headache, although it was already winter, but when he ran back all the way, he was so frightened by the master's family that a few drops of sweat broke out on the tip of his nose and forehead.

He took a breath, but he was still determined to explain the situation to the master's family, so he said: "Today's rice has been sold for 360 wen and one bucket, and if it continues to rise like this, I am afraid that the yamen will arrest people......"

About seven or eight years ago, there was a flood in Guizhou, and it was a great apology for two consecutive years, when the grain merchants in Guizhou also joined forces to raise the price of grain several times. Later, the homeless people were forced to eat grass roots and bark, and almost rose up, but the yamen had no choice but to confiscate the family property of several grain merchants, so that they brought flails and paraded through the streets.

Wu Er snorted from his nose, picked up the teacup, took two sips with taste, and said, "You don't have to worry about this, the yamen won't care about it this time!" ”

Before he sent the shopkeeper of the grain shop, the porter brought in a small servant, and the other party presented Wu Er with an invitation card, saying, "My lord asked Uncle Wu to come over to discuss the matter." ”

Wu Er looked down and saw that it was the post of the head of the grain bank in the city.

can be the head of the line, naturally he also has some skills, and in the government, he must also have eyes and ears, and he will not get the news later than himself.

This time, it is estimated that it is to discuss how to deal with the notice posted by the yamen tomorrow.

He nodded and said, "I'll go over now." ”

When he came back from the discussion, he called a confidant and instructed: "You bring some snacks and bacon to Zhangfu to find Sanniang, and when you are seen and asked, you say that I am a gift to my sister as an elder brother, and after seeing Sanniang, you go to my brother-in-law and tell him that the grain store in the city has decided to raise the price of grain by 50 wen a day from tomorrow, and our family will do the same, if there is any change in the yamen, let him inform me as soon as possible!" ”

The henchman took the order and left.

He thought about it, called the shopkeeper of the grain shop back, and explained: "The rice in the shop will sell for 410 wen a bucket tomorrow." ”

The shopkeeper couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said, "Master, will it be too much?" ”

Four hundred and ten wen a bucket, compared with the original price, nearly seven times.

It is said that the nephew of the current saint who was in the Guizhou Mansion a few days ago is a man who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

Wu Er sneered: "Look at your timid appearance! After finishing speaking, he said: "The yamen will come to collect grain, and we will sell thirty buckets a day in bulk in our shop, and give forty buckets to the yamen, and explain to them, saying that the grain in the shop is almost sold, and these are all collected from the countryside in a hurry." ”

The steward has been working under him for many years, and after hearing this, he immediately calculated the account in his heart, "It is not cost-effective to sell it for 30 buckets in bulk, and it costs 40 or 50 buckets to sell it to the yamen!" The government came to collect grain, which meant that if you gave a little, you can't make money! ”

Wu Er thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide, so he simply made it clear to him, "The Guizhou government is already preparing a notice that tomorrow it will collect grain from the people at a price 60 wen higher than the market price, and it will not limit the price of grain and rice." ”

The shopkeeper's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Crazy?!" With such a high price, you are not afraid of the rebellion of the homeless?? ”

Wu Er laughed and said, "Youxing closes the position!" Although there are less than 50,000 stone grains in it, if you open a warehouse and release it, you can manage to eat it in Guizhou for at least a month! I heard that the yamen plans to collect grain from us at a high price and sell it at a price of 100 wen per bucket, and they will not starve to death. As he spoke, his eyebrows fluttered, and he suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly asked again, "How many people are in your household registration?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the master suddenly asked this, and then replied: "There are seven people on the household register." ”

Wu Er nodded and said: "It's a good advantage, from tomorrow, everyone in Guizhou City can buy grain at a low price with household registration, road guidance, and homeless number plates, if you want to, you can earn three hundred wen in one bucket!" ”

The shopkeeper only felt that he had lived for decades, and there was no time when he was so confused as today, he thought silently for a long time, and still didn't know which part of the yamen was making trouble, so he had to ask: "Is this a gift of money for everyone to earn?" ”

"Not really. Ordinary people have to eat their own rice when they buy it, and only those of us who sell grain can pour it back. Wu Er put down the teacup in his hand and counted with his fingers, "You don't want to think about it, who was busy with the spy, money, and people who were busy with the spy, and who formed a team to patrol and defend the city, so as to help the government support the scene?" More than half of the 4,000 brave men gathered in Guizhou City that day were given out by our grain store. I guess it's not easy for us to know that it's not easy, let's find a way to give some benefits. After saying this, he was in a very good mood, shaking his head, and only humming a little song.

This kind of opportunity will never be bumped into a few times in a lifetime.

People have no windfall and no wealth, and horses have no night grass and no fat.

Whether you can earn a few lifetimes of family business for the old Wu family depends on this time!

He doesn't want much, as long as the price of grain is pulled to 800 wen a bucket, it will be all out!

Early the next morning, sure enough, notices were posted at the gates of all major cities in Guizhou, stating that from now on, the yamen would requisition a certain shop in several streets and markets to buy grain, and the price was the current price plus 50 wen. At the same time, you can buy a fixed amount of grain with a sum of 100 yuan and a bucket of silver by virtue of household registration, road guides, and homeless people's number plates.

As soon as the notice was posted, food prices rose in response. The price in the grain shop rose to 410 wen a bucket, but there was no price in the market, and there was no place to buy it. On the black market, the price of grain has risen to 600 wen a bucket.

The grain merchants are going to laugh silly.

Since then, the price of grain has changed day by day, from 411 wen per dou to 900 wen per dou, and it has soared to 1,300 wen per dou on the black market.

The grain merchants secretly inquired about the surplus grain in Xingping, and when the granary was cleaned, they made the last bang vigorously.

And Wu Er, who originally planned to clear his inventory as long as he could sell 800 Wen 1 bucket, not only did he not sell it anymore, but began to raise money everywhere, just to stock up on more grain.

He counted the days, and planned to sell half of the grain he had in three or four days, and sell the rest slowly in the future.
