Chapter 42: The Monk's Visit

When Fang Yizhi found Fang Yiai, he was in the grain store.

"Bereavement, father is looking for you, come home with me."

"What do you want me to do?" Fang Yiai said bluntly.

In fact, he was indifferent to seeing his father, and he had never received any praise from his father since he was a child, and when he was thirteen years old, he won the first place in hunting, and his father only glanced at him.

"Why are you here? ...... People are talking behind their backs that the 'Benxin' grain store is the livelihood of the princess's mansion, is this all true? ”

Fang Yiai nodded.

"I heard that the 'Benxin' grain store has hundreds of thousands of stones of grain in stock, so it's not a rumor? This...... It's all the man's handiwork? Fang Zhizhi asked with wide eyes in surprise.

Fang Yiai didn't say anything, but changed the topic and said, "What is my father looking for me?" ”

"It's just about things related to the princess's mansion, I don't know the specifics?"

When Fang Yiai heard this, his hand couldn't help shaking.

"You and your father both told me?"

"Never!"

But Fang Yuai's thoughts were still chaotic all of a sudden.

"Yo, nephew, so you're here, let me find it easily."

At this time, the eldest grandson Chong Wuji came over from a distance.

"Lord Eldest Sun!" Seeing this, Fang Yi hurriedly saluted.

But Fang Yiai saw that it was the eldest grandson Wuji, so he turned his head and left, "Go, go home......"

"Don't go, nephew, what can't be discussed........." The eldest grandson Wuji walked closely but still couldn't catch up with Fang Yuai, he didn't say a word, and his face couldn't help but be embarrassed.

"That...... The bereavement is not sensible, please forgive the eldest grandson. Fang Yi directly apologized for Fang Yiai's sins, and chased after him.

"It's okay, I'll talk about it next time, I'll talk about it next time."

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Fang Yiai's back as fast as the wind, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Hey, it seems that you still have to give him a little more time, everything needs a process." ”

"Chong'er doesn't seem to have gone to Qin Shou recently, and I don't know when I'll be able to learn those things......"

"If you don't use it, you will know how to run to Pingkangli Lane every day."

......

The five surnamed Qiwang and other scholars are worthy of being the most educated people in the Tang Dynasty, and they see things more long-term than ordinary people.

To say that they really didn't take the "heart" grain store in their eyes before, after all, it was just a store.

But after the 'Benxin' grain store amazed the entire Chang'an City several times in a row, especially the move of buying back grain against the trend, they had to be vigilant, not to mention that behind the "Benxin" grain and oil store stood the Li Tang royal family.

The business of the Li Tang royal family continues to grow bigger and stronger, which they absolutely do not allow.

Therefore, the people of several major families had looked for these grain stores in Chang'an City before and wanted to unite, and now with the initiative of the rich grain merchants, all the grain stores in Chang'an City have reached an alliance in an instant.

They all aimed the spearhead at the "Benxin" grain store, and there were special people squatting outside the "Benxin" grain store, and as long as the grain price of the "Benxin" grain store changed, they would quickly go back to report it, and then react.

Originally, the grain price of the "Benxin" grain store was one percent lower than that of other merchants in Chang'an.

However, after the adjustment, their prices are lower than those of the "Benxin" grain store, and no matter how the price of the "Benxin" grain store changes, they are priced 1 yuan per bucket lower than the grain price of the Benxin grain store.

In order to squeeze down the "heart" grain store.

Since we want to unite together to strangle the "heart" grain store, we must work hard, otherwise we will not die if we fight the tiger, and it will become a disaster.

It's okay to start two days first.

However, after only a few days of hard work, the five surnamed Qiwang and other scholars found that something was wrong, and they found that the situation was not as simple as they imagined, and even said that the situation was beyond their imagination.

Because they found that the "Benxin" grain store not only did not go out of business, but did better business than before.

In fact, this is just that after Qin Shou found out about this situation, he adjusted the price of the "Benxin" grain store.

The pricing strategy has changed from demand-oriented to cost-oriented, which is actually to push up the high price of the market into a low price that can protect the capital.

It adopts the strategy of small profits but quick turnover, in the case of maintaining their own meager profits and being able to maintain the operation of the grain store.

You and I fight the price, and I fight the cost with you.

I had already repurchased a large amount of low-priced grain during the low-price period, and now after the price of grain rose, my inventory was very sufficient.

There are hundreds of thousands of stone grains.

In addition, there are locust plagues and floods in the north, but there is plenty of rain in the south.

Low-priced grain from the south is still being transported through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Therefore, in terms of cost, he is not higher than the five surnamed Qiwang and those grain merchants who are rich, on the other hand, it is also ten yuan/bucket, and he has money to earn, and he can't make money after the price is reduced.

In this way, the five surnames and seven wangs and those businessmen are uncomfortable.

Who can afford to lose money all the time?

Even if you lose yourself, you have to have a blood transfusion to those rich grain merchants.

Soon, different voices began to emerge among them.

"It's not the way to go on like this!"

"If we cut off the grain of those grain merchants, we will not make money ourselves, let alone provide them with food so that they can make a profit from it?"

"No, this will chill the hearts of the grain merchants, and it will also chill the hearts of the protégés of the major families?"

"But in this situation, what can we do?"

"Hold on for a while!"

"The point is that people's business is better than ours now, does it make sense to hold on for a while?"

"......." everyone was silent.

"Hey, why do you say that our price is one penny lower than that of the 'Benxin' grain store, and so many people still go?"

"yes, it's really evil? Obviously our prices are low, why are there still so many people going to their homes? ”

This is what makes them most confused even if they think about it.

They can't figure it out, but the people who buy grain are like mirrors in their hearts.

Although the "five surnames and seven hopes" and those grain merchants' stores can buy a bucket for nine dollars, but the stale grain, shriveled grain, sieving bran, and cutting out these are less than ninety percent left.

Although the price of grain in the "Benxin" grain store is a penny higher, the grain is screened, full of grains, and solid grain.

Another point is that as long as people enter the "heart" grain store, they can't say what's going on, and their hearts are comfortable.

All the clerks were smiling at themselves, always showing their eight teeth.

It's like the grain store of "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes" and other grain merchants, the common people are standing below, and the seller is standing on a high place looking down on him, and across a big counter, he looks like a high-ranking uncle, as if he owes them something.

......

At this time, a monk with a dignified body came from outside the princess's mansion.

The face is as carved as the facial features are distinct, the two thick eyebrows are like paint, and the eyes are as bright as cold stars.

The monk wore a robe, but it was difficult to stop the spirit, he came to the door of the princess's mansion and said to the porter: "Please go in and inform the princess, and say that the monk is coming!" ”

......
