"I've heard for a long time that the people of this Liangqu Villa are chivalrous, and I didn't expect that we would be able to bear their favor this time."

"Yes, yes, I heard that the grain they sell is bought from other places at a high price, and now it is sold to us at a low price, we should thank them well and remember their kindness."

"Although I can only buy one day's rations with vouchers every day, such a low price is even if I am willing to queue up every day."

"That's it, that is, I heard that this is all the young owner of Liangqu Villa, who can't see the suffering of our people in the south of the Yangtze River, so he specially asked people to buy a large amount of grain from other places."

"Thank you Liangqu Villa, thank you to the owner of the young village ......"

……

For a while, no matter where they went, all they talked about was the news that the grain store of Liangqu Villa began to sell grain at a low price, and those who bought the grain were thanking Liangqu Villa and the young owner of Liangqu Villa.

******

Completely different from the mood of the people in Jiangnan, those merchants, rich households, big landlords, and corrupt officials who hoarded a large amount of grain.

After learning the news, they all jumped to their feet.

No, there was a group of well-dressed people gathered at this time, but their faces were not good-looking.

"Brothers, Zha Lao, you are about to come up with an idea, now the grain store in Liangqu Villa has begun to sell grain at a low price, and the price of their grain today is far lower than the price we buy grain, and if this continues, the younger brother will go bankrupt." A man looking at twenty-five or sixteen walked around the room as he spoke. The six gods looked at the people present.

"Brother Bai, don't worry, calm down, you know, don't be confused by the people of Liangqu Villa, everyone knows that last summer, we suffered a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and at the end of the year, the northwest suffered a snow disaster, and now the entire Chengqi country is short of food. I don't believe it. Even the imperial court can't do it, they Liangqu Villa has so much courage, buy grain from other places at a high price and then sell it at a low price in Jiangnan, just ask. in this world. Where is there such a fool. When it comes to those who do business with money, they do it in order to squeeze out the grain in our hands. Once they succeed, it is we who will lose, and they can raise the price and make a profit at a high price. I saw a middle-aged man who looked dignified, patted the young man's shoulder, and said calmly.

"Yes, I still see that Zha Lao understands, he is worthy of being the president of our Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and I also think that the people in this Liangqu Villa are uneasy and kind, we must not fall for them." Another nodded in agreement.

"But, Elder Cha, big brothers, you also know that the money I used to buy grain was raised by borrowing usury, if the price of grain does not rise, if this grain is pressed in my hands, even the money will kill me." The young man known as Brother Bai listened, and although his expression was better, he still muttered worriedly.

"Alas, I hope the people of Liangqu Villa don't do so badly, if they really have a fever with a lot of money and want to be good people, then no one here can please them." Although many people agree with Zha Lao's point of view, there are still people who have the same idea as the surnamed Bai, for fear that the people of Liangqu Villa will really do something desperate.

A group of people discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with any results, so they could only go back with their own thoughts.

In this way, after three days, there was a new topic in the mouths of the people, the reason is that the grain transportation team of Liangqu Villa has transported a large amount of grain from other places, and the people can buy three days' rations from today.

What's even more surprising is that food prices have fallen again!

Although the price of coarse grain is only five pounds lower than that of three days ago, it is undoubtedly great news for ordinary people, after all, in this way, the same money can buy an extra pound of grain every day.

Moreover, Liangqu Villa also released a message saying that more grain is on the way, and it won't be long before the people in Jiangnan can buy as much grain as they want, and the price of grain will be cheaper than now.

As soon as such news came out, those rich and large landowners were not calm and got together again.

"Zha Lao, big brothers, you said that they were just for the food in our hands that day, but now it seems that the young owner may really just have too much money to use, and he came here to buy fame." The young man surnamed Bai said with a sad face when he saw them.

Seeing that his face was pale, his eyes were tired, and he didn't care if there were wrinkles in his clothes, it was obvious that he had been worrying about food for the past few days, and he didn't have the heart to take care of anything else.

"Yes, the shape is not optimistic, I heard from a friend who just came from the south today that Liangqu Villa has indeed bought a lot of grain from them at a high price during this period of time, and is transporting it here, and when he came all the way, he also saw a lot of grain trucks." As soon as the young man surnamed Bai finished speaking, one of the middle-aged men also spoke with an uneasy expression.

"Ah, did your friend from the south say that? I also heard from a friend from the north today that Liangqu Villa also buys grain at high prices in various parts of Jiangbei, and I heard that these grains will be shipped here. When the other person heard this, he immediately said anxiously.

"Eh, what can I do about this, the people of this Liangqu Villa are trying to force me to death, no matter, I have to go back immediately and sell the grain, otherwise, not only will my family go bankrupt, maybe even my life will be gone." When the young man surnamed Bai heard this, his face suddenly became whiter, and he immediately cried and shouted, and wanted to go home.

In the past few days, as the price of grain has fallen, the usurious creditor who lent him has come to his house several times, ordered him to repay the money within a limited time, and threatened him that if he does not pay by then, he will not only take his mansion, but also sell his entire family to settle the account.

"Come back." Of the people in the house, only Zha Lao looked calm, and when he saw that the young man surnamed Bai was going out, he immediately stopped him.

"Zha Lao, you don't want to watch me go bankrupt and die, although we made an agreement at the beginning, we can't ignore my actual situation and not let me sell food." The young man surnamed Bai shook his body and stopped.

Then I saw him turn around and fall to the ground with a thud, kowtowing to everyone present and crying: "Elder Cha, big brothers, please look at everyone's old feelings, and agree with me to sell the grain." ”

"It's not that I won't let you sell it, but I want to ask you, how much do you want to sell your grain?" Seeing this, Zha Lao stretched out his hand to help him, and asked kindly.
