87_87379 sent Jiang Huiyun away, Li Dacheng laughed out loud, with this ambiguous relationship, things will be easy to do in the future!

Jiang Huiyun came early in the morning and left early in the morning, and before the camp of the Yellow River Fist began to make lunch, the tent in Cangzhou Mansion arrived with the grain truck of Tongfeng, and arrived with the shopkeeper Liu of Tongfeng, as well as Jiang Huiyun, the master of Cangzhou Mansion, who made great efforts for the tent.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Liu's shopkeeper ......"

When people came to deliver things, Li Dacheng naturally treated him politely, but there was no joy on the face of Liu Changhe, the shopkeeper of Tongfeng.

"Senior brother Tongfeng transported 150,000 catties of sorghum rice this time, 60,000 catties of second-class and third-class Shaanxi grains, and more than 80,000 catties of miscellaneous grains and bad grains, which were converted into 2,800 taels of private silver, and removed the last 30,000 catties of grain silver of two or four hundred, leaving 1,800 taels of silver, and we also sent it to the senior brother."

When he said this, Liu Changhe's face was unwilling, more than 300,000 catties of grain went out of the city, the price of grain in Cangzhou Mansion skyrocketed, and the third-class grain is now two or four dollars of silver and a stone, and the miscellaneous grains and bad grains have doubled overnight.

"Oh...... Mr. Jiang and Shopkeeper Liu, but because of the Yellow River Fist's wanton purchase of grain, it disturbed the grain price of Cangzhou Mansion? ”

300,000 catties of grain is not much, but it is a lot for a Cangzhou capital city, and so much grain will be transferred in a short period of time, and prices will inevitably skyrocket.

In the short term, the price of grain will be raised, and the source of disaster relief grain will also be there, because of the Boxer Rebellion, the trade routes are not very smooth, who dares to take a large amount of grain to travel in all directions at this time? There is no grain in the grain stack, then you have to open the official warehouse, the grain in the official warehouse is not given in vain, the small people of Cangzhou Mansion are not farmers in the Zhuangzi, the grain is bought in a few days, even if there are merchants who can buy grain from other places, when the price of grain falls, Cangzhou Mansion has already made a lot of money.

Forcing Liu Changhe to send grain out of the city, first, he can sell it to himself, and second, he can make the price of grain in Cangzhou Mansion soar in the short term, as for the third? It is nothing more than taking advantage of the huge difference in food prices in the short term.

This is the way of the world, the higher the price of grain, the more grain is bought, and everyone is afraid of a food shortage! Outside grain can't come in, only the treasury of Cangzhou Mansion has grain, plus everyone can see the disaster victims outside the city, the grain in the treasury is afraid that it will not be sold, before the price of grain comes down, the silver earned by Cangzhou Mansion can not only fill the treasury, but also fill the pockets of a group of official gentry, and by the way, it can also help the victims, but the people of Cangzhou Mansion will be unlucky, and they can't escape the fate of being exploited.

With the spread of the news, there will only be more and more grain on the ground in Cangzhou Mansion, and the more grain there is, the lower the price, and the fourth hand of Cangzhou Mansion will come.

Cangzhou Mansion kills four birds with one stone, Li Dacheng has no way to deal with it, he can only watch the people of Cangzhou Mansion unlucky, this matter is a little unfavorable to him, food prices are soaring, it is bound to make the people of Cangzhou Mansion hate the refugee camp, Cangzhou Mansion manipulates the people's hearts and minds, boycotts Shandong refugees, once there are some disputes, Shandong refugees will not dare to come to Cangzhou Mansion, this is the fifth hand, Cangzhou Mansion officials and gentry are so poisonous!

But there are also huge business opportunities in this, Shandong grain can not be self-sufficient, coupled with last year's drought, Shandong's grain can only go in and out, Shandong, Zhili around Suzhou and Henan are granaries, the Grand Canal connects the Huai River, the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Haihe River, Qiantang five major water systems, the water system of Jiangsu, Henan and Zhejiang provinces are the granary, they still have the Cao Gang in their hands, now to do business, it is also the right time.

"Strong men don't need to worry too much, the price of grain will increase a little, it will not affect the livelihood of Cangzhou Mansion, there is a shortage of food outside the city, people will die, presumably the people of Cangzhou Mansion, this bit of benevolence and righteousness still exists."

Li Dacheng broke Jiang Huiyun's strategy with one sentence, which can even show that the senior brother of the Yellow River Boxing on the other side is not small, if it is really those stupid old men who make trouble, let them think about it for a few years, and they can't understand the tricks inside!

After Jiang Huiyun's words were finished, Liu Changhe's face became even more ugly, the refugees outside the city did not need so much food, 30,000 catties a day was enough, if these grains were stored in the city of Zài, the price of grain would not rise sharply within ten days, ten days, first transfer grain from Cangzhou Mansion, and then go to Suyu through the Guò Canal to transfer grain, even if the grain price in Cangzhou Mansion rises, there will be a limit, otherwise the price of grain will increase three or five times within a few days, it has become a foregone conclusion, so trouble will follow.

"Huh...... Mr. Jiang, everything is in moderation, some things should not be too much, once there is a conflict, it will not be beneficial to you, to me, or to the officials and gentry in Cangzhou Mansion.

Double! Any more, and there will be chaos!

In my battalion, there are some shipwrights from Shandong, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Liu, how about we have a public-private cooperation? ”

In the face of the five poisonous hands of Cangzhou Mansion, Li Dacheng really has no countermeasures, the government does things in all directions to promote, and the price of grain in the disaster year is just the beginning, and the price of grain has soared tenfold in a short period of time, which is commonplace!

Li Dacheng can't suppress Cangzhou Mansion by means, what they do is beneficial to the refugee camp, but the harm is only the people under their rule, the threat of rushing to the city is too unprovoked, and the only one who can suppress the gentry of Cangzhou Mansion is now his fictitious identity, and I don't know if this Jiang Huiyun will fall into the trap?

Liu Changhe, a businessman, has an average sense of smell, which is far inferior to Jiang Huiyun's sense of smell, and Liu Changhe's expression on his face only eased a little when he heard that the price of grain was doubled, and Jiang Huiyun's expression on his face began to be wonderful after hearing the cooperation between the government and the people.

For Liu Changhe, doubling the price of grain is nothing, such fluctuations in grain prices are normal, and the people can also be patient, just eat less and buy less, as for those who store grain, there is no shortage of silver in their hands, and they are not afraid that they will starve to death, what Liu Changhe is most afraid of is the endless rise in grain prices, it is good to sell at a high price, but the purchase price is also high! Nowadays, only Cangzhou has a large amount of grain in the treasury, and it is difficult to expect the government to stabilize prices!

"Oh...... How do the strong men plan to cooperate? ”

Liu Changhe's eyelids are shallow, Jiang Huiyun's is not shallow, except for officialdom, these masters are looking at shopping malls, why do you want to look at shopping malls, shopping malls have a lot of money!

"I don't know what goods Cangzhou has that can be trafficked to Jiangsu, Henan and Zhejiang?

Mr. Jiang can rest assured, he is not panicked when he has food in his hand, is he still worried about the market in exchange for food? At this time and in this situation, when the autumn harvest comes, isn't it the time when the Boxers are in full swing? How expensive was the grain at that time? Why bother competing with the people for profit and provoking conflict? ”

It is the rule of officialdom for officials to exchange power for money, and now Li Dacheng has to abide by it, otherwise the refugee camp will not be protected! No matter how many refugees there are, there are no more local people, and the refugee camps will be broken as soon as the conflict breaks out!

"If you talk about the goods that go out, Cangzhou Mansion according to Changlu Zhili, the most is salt, Jiangsu and Zhejiang produce salt but go up to Henan and Shaanxi to lack salt, but this salt is sold, the imperial court ......"

"Hmph...... At this time, can you manage so much? This is just a stopgap measure! ”

"This matter is inconvenient in Cangzhou Mansion, I don't know the ...... of the strong man"

"The gentlemen are short of both food and silver, Mr. Jiang, what do you say?"

"In the Cangzhou treasury, there are still hundreds of thousands of taels of old salt, and the account books have been cancelled, so it can be valued at 50,000 taels, how about 100,000 taels?"

"Good! Then the accounts between us will be gone! ”

"Very good! Very good! The righteous deeds of the strong men will relieve the people from hanging upside down! ”

"Don't dare! Can't! This salt still needs to be credited ......"

"Well said! Say! How about exchanging grain for salt? ”

"That's it! I'll discuss it with Shopkeeper Liu again......"

"Good! Good! Then Jiang said goodbye......"

"Mr. Jiang, the blacksmith of Cangzhou Mansion......"

"Yes! The official work is just no errand, and it is also worth asking them to help the victims build some farm tools! There is also a deposit in the iron treasury, because it is a disaster relief, the market price is good! ”

"That's good! I'll report later! ”

"Don't dare! Can't! Jiang said goodbye! ”

Li Dacheng and Jiang Huiyun's words, Liu Changhe can only understand a small half, but this small half is enough to make him have a good impression of Li Dacheng, whether it is corruption or not, after all, these two have ensured the stability of the lives of the people in Cangzhou Mansion.

"Shopkeeper Liu, after you go back, you might as well spread some news that there is food outside the city."

"This ......"

Li Dacheng's words made Liu Changhe a little embarrassed, I am afraid that this thing cannot be done, the people do not fight with the officials, and the same is true for the merchants, he is not the owner of the family and the official family, once he does it, it will not only bring trouble to himself, but also to the owner.

"Huh...... It's okay, I'll do it, and it's done!

Shopkeeper Liu, I don't know if you can be familiar with it, Su Yu's big grain merchant? ”

Where to buy grain and sell grain, that is the secret of the grain store, although it is not very important, but it cannot be said casually, this senior brother of the Yellow River Boxing, he is going to dig out the bottom of Tongfeng, Liu Changhe is both angry and a little hesitant.

"Hundreds of thousands of taels of grain trading, can Tongfeng do it?"

Seeing that Liu Changhyuk was hesitant, Li Dacheng asked another question.

"This is a small profit, hundreds of thousands of risks are too big, Tongfeng can't do it."

"Then Shopkeeper Liu is willing to watch the people of Cangzhou Mansion be exploited by soaring food prices?"

"The rice of Changfeng and Yuchang in Jiangsu, the grain and wheat of the two easterners of Qin and Sun in northern Henan, and the Shaanxi valley of Guchang and Changxing in Shanxi.

There is a shortage of salt in northern Henan, and the two eastern families of Qin and Sun are also the two major salt lords in Henan, and the Shanxi Changxing is also engaged in private salt trading, and the territory of these three is close to the canal, as long as the senior brother transports the salt goods along the canal to the nearest place to them, land transportation and checkpoints, they can do it themselves.

The owner of Jiangsu Changfeng is a salt merchant, and the senior brother should be cautious. ”

Although Liu Changhe's vision of doing business is a little worse, he still has a firm grasp of some secrets of the shopping mall, and in a few words, he pointed out the path of exchanging salt for grain, Henan and Shanxi, which have become Li Dacheng's most important goals.

As for Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the price of rice is too high, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford to eat, and the grain routes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang still need to be postponed a little, and bartering is the most in Li Dacheng's interests.

"Good! I don't know if Shopkeeper Liu can introduce me to a few shopkeepers in northern Henan and Shanxi? ”

Li Dacheng's words are a temptation, thinking that Liu Changhe is so familiar with these families, and the trading of grain warehouses is regardless of season, maybe there are men or shopkeepers of these grain merchants in Cangzhou Mansion.

"This ...... This matter still needs the nod of the owner of the name. ”

"Yes, Shopkeeper Liu will give me an answer as much as possible, after all, this is for the sake of the people of Cangzhou Mansion!"

"It's noon!"

"Good! Leave! ”

"Farewell!"

After receiving the food, the atmosphere in the refugee camp is stable again, and with so much food, the refugees will have a backbone, and if they have food, they will have a way to live, and they can stay here for a long time.

Refugees are flowing, and after they stop, they will gather in one place, Li Dacheng asked, from the time the camp was set up to the present, the number of refugees has increased by several thousand, and many of them are composed of all men, this is not a refugee, it is a Boxer from Shandong.

"Eighth child, call Cao Lao Er!"

With Cao Yong, Cao Lao and Cao Baochu will not play a big role, and it is more appropriate for them to operate their business with business, after all, they are going to Beijing and Tianjin, and they are playing with their lives.

"Senior brother, you call me?"

"Hmmm! Cao Lao Er, are you willing to let you continue to work as a laborer? ”

"It's naturally best to have a job, and we can still do our best."

"Sell smuggled salt to northern Henan and Shanxi for grain!"

"Senior brother, this is going to kill the head!"

"Do it or not, give a happy word, the price is negotiable!"

With an easier way to get money, who will go to the death force? Cao Baochu is not a saint, and the people are not saints, and it is the nature of seeking profit, and it is not a coercion.

"Follow the senior brother, don't worry, it's done!"

"How's the ship?"

"Last night, I bought five boats in Cangzhou Mansion, some old but can still be used for a few years, I have already let people go down, the old ships in Shandong and Zhili can arrive in a day or two, and more than ten or twenty ships should be safe.

Senior brother, if you want to buy a good boat at this time, you have to go to Jiangnan, and the grain ships over there are all good ships! Find some of our shipwrights in Shandong, and the senior brother can rest assured that the three-day journey will take us a day, and we will be able to run out after a day and a night. ”

Five boats are too few for Li Dacheng, he has also seen river boats, and they can carry dozens of people, three or four thousand people, at least a hundred river boats are needed, Cao Baochu's idea is good, let the grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River go south, and it is best to stay with the grain and boats.

"How much can these ships carry?"

"The boats that take the canal are small 10,000 catties, the big ones are 100,000 catties up, and the grain ships in the south of the Yangtze River are generally hard sailing boats of 50,000 catties."

"Okay, do you know the grain merchants in Jiangnan?"

"Know a few."

"They have a boat?"

"Yes!"

"Send a few people to spread the news, and say that the price of grain in Cangzhou Mansion is extremely high!"

Calculate the time, the eldest nephew Li Chengyou is almost coming back, at this time send Cao Laoer's manpower, one is to save some time, and the other is to try their loyalty, if the silver is buried in Gaozhai, Cao Laoer's people are not credible, these few days, it is just right to gather the victims, and get out the Chen Yan of Cangzhou Mansion
