Chapter 261 Door-to-door Buying Rice 2
The ancestral hall is a sacred place for a family, a place for the spiritual sustenance of the clansmen, and the last foothold for tracing the roots. This kind of sacred place is generally not engaged in other affairs unrelated to the family except for the major events about the family, but there are exceptions to everything, some family ancestors do not have any prominent people, and they also worship and worship the ancestors on weekdays, and the gorgeously repaired ancestral halls are often idle.
It is not difficult to understand why the He clan ancestral hall is willing to let people with foreign surnames live in and use it as a warehouse. As long as it doesn't cause damage to the ancestral hall, the people in the village want to use it, don't they all use it on their own people.
Chen Qiyou was very surprised when he looked at the mountains of new rice, this is not planning to open a rice shop, who would have nothing to do with saving so much rice at home, did he know in advance that there would be a flood and the grain would be lost?
Chen Baozheng swallowed his saliva and asked, "San Lang, how do you sell this rice?" ”
Liang Chuan asked rhetorically: "What is the price of rice in Fengshan Xinghua now?" ”
Chen Qiyou's expression was gloomy, the peasants had earned enough to eat all their lives, and what they were most concerned about was nothing more than a few things, the tax service of the court, the rent of the landlord's family, and the price of rice. It's like knowing what your body is doing. Chen Qiyou said with difficulty: "Now... Now a bucket of old rice is 300 yuan. ”
Liang Chuan was also startled when he heard this number, the price of grain in the Great Song Dynasty was so high except for a few places where there were wars, otherwise it would be difficult to reach such a terrifying point, let alone in today's Renzong Dynasty, this is the most comfortable period of the Great Song Dynasty. This year, a rain has made the price of this rice fluctuate so much, four times that of a few months ago! I'm used to eating cheap rice, and if I eat such sky-high rice again, no one can swallow it.
"Three hundred texts. . . Belch.. "Asking them for 300 wen a fight is a bit of a bare robbery, and it is estimated that few of them can afford to eat. Zhang smacked his tongue, thought for a while and said: "That's it, the villagers are in trouble, saving the danger and helping the poor is the duty of my generation, according to the market price. ”
Liang Chuan glanced at Chen Baozheng before he finished speaking, Chen Baozheng's heart was in his throat, and he was also worried that Liang Chuan would sit on the ground and raise the price, and now he has the most food in his hands in a few villages, except for this treasure number, there is no other family, if you don't buy it, go home and go hungry.
Liang Chuan continued: "It's a bit unkind at market prices. Chen Qiyou's hanging heart was relieved. But what's the point. Liang Chuan's sentence was divided into three paragraphs, like a hanged ghost who couldn't continue in one breath. made Chen Qiyou nervous.
"However, at the moment, this rice is also expensive, and it is impossible not to sell it at an expensive price." Liang Chuan finished speaking.
"Many... How expensive..? Chen Qiyou came to Liangchuan as a representative of their villagers, and if the price was not negotiated, he could only take everyone on the road.
Liang Chuan put his arm around Chen Baozheng's shoulders, looking affectionate like a brother, "I don't want 300 wen for this bucket of rice, just 150 wen, what do you think?" ”
Chen Qiyou even suspected that his ears were wrong, one hundred and fifty yuan, wouldn't that be the same as the market price, and cut off half of the price! He thought that it would be less than the market price, but he had already earned it, which. If you don't make money, or is it true and righteous?
Chen Qiyou turned around and was about to bow to Liang Chuan, the most touching thing in the world is not the icing on the cake, it is often the charcoal in the snow, which is too timely. Liang Chuan was taken aback, this ceremony was a little too big, and he couldn't afford it, so Liang Chuan hurriedly supported Chen Baozheng.
Liang Chuan's face was slightly red, slightly embarrassed, this rice is also considered wholesale, not even the price of eighty wen a bucket, this change of hands is 100% profit, is there a more profitable business than this? Liang Chuan said: "This is a deal, I am willing to sell and you are willing to buy, we can negotiate the price, what are you doing?" ”
Chen Qiyou is old, and he is depressed now, but this heart is hot, and Liang Chuan's actions moved him so much that he was confused: "It is said that you San Lang is a good descendant, young and promising, and the ancient way is warm, I finally obeyed you today." In the future, where we need landscapes, you greet me, and I Chen Qiyou is the only one who is looking forward to you! ”
Liang Chuan said with a smile: "Chen Baozheng said politely, this matter is like this, I will arrange for Lao He to come over to help with the scales, you prepare the money, buy as much as you want, just leave a little for me." ”
After Liang Chuan finished speaking, he turned around to leave, and Chen Qiyou hurriedly added: "San Lang, I still have an unspeakable secret, and I don't know if it's inconvenient to say. Chen Qiyou's face was embarrassed, and he was a little embarrassed when he spoke.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"Some villagers don't have much money in their pockets right now, although the price of your rice is already a big discount, but it is still a bit difficult for them, can you give credit first." Chen Qiyou said that the sound behind him was as small as a mosquito's chirp, and Liang Chuan couldn't hear it clearly.
It's one thing to not be able to hear clearly, but it's very straightforward. Liang Chuan frowned and stared at this old guy for a long time, and saw that Chen Qiyou was furious, your mother, Lao Tzu was so excited after talking for a long time, it turns out that you don't have any money in your pockets, and you want to make an IOU? When you borrow money, Lao Tzu is your father, and when you turn back and ask you to repay the money, you are Lao Tzu's father, if you don't pay back the money, Lao Tzu has to chase after your ass every day to ask you for debts, and now you have to ask Lao Tzu, and after receiving Lao Tzu's favor, you will become an enemy when you collect debts!
Liang Chuan's face was dark and cloudy, just like the sky outside, and it was terrifyingly dark. Chen Qiyou was shocked to see it, this matter of owing money to anyone was very unhappy, and after talking about it for a long time, I was afraid that Liang Chuan would think it was a pastime for him.
"It's easy to owe money, but it's not easy to pay it back." Liang Chuan stared at Chen Qiyou word by word and said seriously.
As soon as Chen Qiyou heard this, he knew that Liang Chuan was worried about their credit problems, and he wanted to prove himself, but now that they were so poor that they couldn't eat, if there was something valuable that could be mortgaged, then they would talk about a fart.
Liang Chuan is also very unhappy, this old boy is not the kind of person who is full of words in the village, but he is afraid that he will not be able to suppress these villagers. Last time, I said that I would help them build a waterwheel, but in the end, the news was all over the place, and a small thing could show that these villagers still didn't trust this Baozheng so much, at least they wouldn't listen to his words.
Liang Chuan had encountered many such village cadres in his previous life. Some village cadres themselves are after the success of the industry, the waist is full of arms, the waist is round, and they really want to do something practical for the villagers, this kind of person is very bold in doing things, and what he says is also true, and the villagers are very prestigious. There are also some village cadres who are worse than dogs, and they still think about how to calculate the villagers every day, and they are on the same page as the villagers.
"Saburo, look at this. How convenient is this? ”
Liang Chuan thought for a while and said: "That's it, you ask the villagers who have no money to write me a deed, there is no money and no grain to repay the account this year, and I will pay it back next year. ”
Chen Qiyou looked at Liang Chuan, his request was not too much, it was already very fair, who borrowed money and didn't write an IOU or something.
"Well, you have to find a guarantor to come out, preferably a villager who still has a little money in the village, or someone who has a public office." Liang Chuan looked at Chen Qiyou meaningfully, you kid should be able to understand what I mean.
Chen Qiyou gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, if anyone has a conscience to let the dog eat it, he will be ungrateful and will be punished!" ”
"Alas! Lao Chen, what you said is a bit too much, conscience can be worth a few dollars, it only counts if you speak in black and white, you go and ask your villagers, if you can agree to my conditions, come and borrow it, otherwise don't talk about it! Liang Chuan said in a non-negotiable tone.
Is this still worth thinking about, Chen Qiyou trotted out and called the villagers together. The villagers saw him go in for so long, and they didn't move for a long time, and they thought that this Liang Chuan had repented, and when they came out and heard about the conditions of the people, what else was there to consider. The people who can lend you money at a critical time are either loan sharks or close relatives, and there are no others, no. This price is cheaper than the one in other people's stores, there is no such good thing in the world, Liang Chuan is a good person!
These villagers either have land or houses in their own homes, and they can mortgage more or less, which is easy to do, and a few households are so poor that they can't even find relatives, Chen Qiyou gritted his teeth and helped them vouch for them.
He Baozheng was helping Liang Chuan handle the whole thing, and when he came to Liang Chuan with that big piece of deed paper, his heart was always secretly cool, when did they He Lu come to ask for them, and in the hungry years, He Lu people went from village to village in groups to ask for food, and now it is their turn to taste it.
After the people of Shanshui left, Chihe and the people in front of him also received the news, and they also ran out of food. There is no way, but I also begged Loess and Lin Jinya to come forward, and I wanted to ask Liang Chuan to be kind to them. Originally, the prestige of the two Baozheng fell to the bottom since the four villages fought, and after doing so, they re-established their prestige among the villagers, and they were really defeated by Liang Chuan.
The biggest benefit from this thing is nothing more than Liang Chuan, where would he worry about these villagers running away, this time is different from the future generations, the complex of people in this era is quite serious, and the traffic and information are also very inconvenient, and the background of leaving the hometown is completely a dream that is out of reach and dare not try easily, since you can't run, then come to work for Lao Tzu. The light is a thousand runs through those rice beams, and the gross profit is nearly two thousand runs.
