Chapter 208: Price Reduction

It's true that they have food in their homes. But no one will save a thousand catties of rice to eat at home! Besides, you have to donate a thousand catties at once. The crown princess's move is a bit too ruthless. A look of hesitation began to appear on everyone's faces.

Princess Gong is a wonderful person. He directly proposed: "I heard that the No. 1 rice store in the capital wants to sell rice at a low price, so let's go and see what price it is low, and then donate the rice at our expense." After all, everyone's food storage at home is also limited. ”

After her round, the originally cold and silent scene began to warm up a little again. Mrs. Jin immediately chimed in: "That's a good idea!" Although my family also produces rice and grain in the village, but the family has a large population, and I am afraid that I will not be able to use 1,000 catties of rice at once. ”

Mrs. Han wanted to oppose her, and said: "I heard that the family of the servant Lang Fang is a big family in the south, and the family has thousands of hectares of fertile land, why can't you take the small amount of 1,000 catties?" Although my family is in the suburbs of Beijing, although there are only 100 acres of fertile land, it is barely possible to get together a thousand catties. I followed His Highness, and I didn't go to buy rice. ”

Mrs. Jin hated it so much, her husband's family was a good family, but her husband was a concubine, and he didn't have much say at home. was able to gain a foothold in the DPRK, mostly relying on the momentum of her mother's side. Mrs. Han's husband is the eldest son, and he naturally has superior resources in the family, so he speaks softly and skillfully without effort. She's obviously bullying her! However, in front of the crown princess and the ladies of the powerful, did she want to explain her embarrassment and embarrassment to them? However, the other party was so clearly squeezing her. She can't just let her say it, otherwise it seems that she doesn't actively respond to the crown princess and deliberately recites the bitter scriptures.

Thereupon. After a turn of thought, he said to the crown princess: "I really don't hide it from the crown princess, our grange in the capital really can't make up this amount, but our hometown in the south is the land of fish and rice, and rice is the most abundant, so why don't I write a letter back and let my hometown transport rice to Beijing." And then sell it at a low price, how? ”

When the crown princess heard her say this, she thought of the prince asking the northwest to send rice. I think that's a good idea. Letting these powerful families donate rice is just a statement, even if each family donates a thousand catties, it is just a drop in the bucket for the huge capital. If a large amount of rice grain is brought from the south. Maybe you can get paid at the bottom of the kettle. So he smiled and said, "So it's the best!" Nowadays, rice is expensive in the capital. If there is more rice on the market, the price of natural rice can also fall. In this way, if you can afford to buy rice, you can buy rice, and if you have a way to contact rice merchants who come to Beijing, you can contact rice merchants. Just try to think about the people! ”

Hearing her say this, everyone nodded yes. This is a good idea, and it is a fact that rice is expensive in the capital at the moment, although they don't understand why this is happening. However, if you ask your family to come and sell rice. Even if the price is lower, I am afraid that compared to the local area, I am afraid that some people will make money. It's much better than donating rice alone.

Beijing Tianzi No. 1 rice line, early in the morning, the rice line is overcrowded, it is said that the people who came over are some origins, and they all point out that they are rushing to the low-cost rice.

Originally, Qian Yidou only planned to sell it symbolically for 10,000 catties, and he immediately stopped to get a good reputation. Who knew that the people who came were bigger than the other, and their appetites were not small. The least is a hundred catties to buy, and the most is a thousand catties. This is terrible, such a way of selling, the original share of 10,000 catties is estimated to be sold out in one morning, and it is sold out, and the people behind can't afford to offend, so they have to continue to sell. Ordinary ordinary people, their faces are cold, and if they say not to sell, they will naturally be dismissed. But now they are not ordinary ordinary people, they are either some self-proclaimed Hanlin in the DPRK, or they are from powerful families, and some of them even have business dealings, and these people can't be sent away without selling. Moreover, what does it mean that you sold it to him and didn't sell it to me?

In this case, the guy of Tianzi No. 1 originally carried the rolling melon that was ready to be used to attack the original Chen shopkeeper, and it became useless at all, but became: "I'm sorry, you wait first, I'll ask the shopkeeper!" Sorry to keep you waiting! And Qian Yidou was also annoyed. Which bad idea was this? How could such a thing happen?

And what made him even more mad was that those who came to buy low-priced rice, as soon as they turned around, they set up a stall to deliver grain not far from his rice shop, and the banner was that the crown princess came forward to give rice to the poor people!

The common people have the rice they gave away for free, who will come to buy his low-priced rice again? Who cares why his rice is cheap? On the contrary, those who bought low-priced rice knew that the low-priced rice was originally ordered to be sold by Duke Wei, and everyone went to Duke Wei to ask for favors. made the eldest prince Wei also coping with it.

"Bastard! What do you think you've come up with? This turmoil in the rice market, you will give me a town in a few days! I'll give you three days, or you'll just wait! "Facing Qian Yidou, Wei Xiang almost roared. Originally, he planned it well, but three days later, he would attack the prince, who knew that the rice market in the capital would suddenly have such a dramatic turn!

Qian Yidou couldn't say a word this time. The same roar that Grand Prince Wei had already yelled at him. In just three days, how easy is it for him to calm down this turmoil?

And what frightened him even more was still to come, the rice grain that the prince ordered people to transport from the northwest actually began to be marketed in large quantities at a price lower than his side, and it was rumored that the texture of those rice was not bad compared to the rice in his rice shop. And this time, these rice were sold with great fanfare in the name of Ruiwang.

Next, there was news one after another that merchants in the south heard that rice was expensive in Beijing, and transported local grain to Beijing to sell in order to earn interest.

Businessmen take profit-seeking as their first purpose, and it is naturally impossible to know that there is money to be made but not to make it. For a time, a steady stream of grain merchants appeared in Beijing. The price of rice and grain began to fall in a real sense. With the fall in the price of rice, other hoarded items also began to slowly fall in price, those who were prepared to live in strange goods at the beginning, saw what happened in the rice market, on the one hand, they were afraid of their own accumulation deficit, on the other hand, they were also afraid of the effect of the collapse of the rice market, and they sold the goods in their hands, so that the original high prices in the capital actually slowly fell down. (To be continued.) )
