Most of the victims in Sankou County basically ate something.

However, it did not last long.

Because there is not much grain in the granary.

I had to rely on the money for disaster relief.

The county chief of the county government didn't want to die.

After seeing Chen Xiao's decisive methods, he immediately went to do something.

That night, more than a dozen large grain merchants in Sankou County came to Yamen.

Rear office, in the hall!

Candles are lit!

Chen Xiao sat on the top seat, and Kurabe Shiro and several other accompanying officials sat on the left in turn.

In the row on the right, there are local food farmers!

As a large grain farmer and a grain seller, their grain reserves are sometimes even more than the standard grain stored in a county.

Moreover, there will be no superficial work like in the granaries of the Yamen.

The grain storage at the entrance of the yamen, to put it bluntly, was required by the imperial court.

The corrupt officials who have no conscience are greedy for money, and they do not let the grain in the grain reserve meet the standard, and if something goes wrong, it is the people who suffer, and it is the court that finds a way.

To put it bluntly, if the whole fire is punished a little as an accident, you can exchange it for a long period of corruption, and most officials will do it.

But large grain producers are not the same as businessmen!

They live on food, so they will try their best to store as much food as possible in their warehouse.

That's what they make money on!

Therefore, the grain they have for more than a dozen large grain households in this county, no matter what, is enough for countless victims in Sankou County to eat for a period of time.

Today's Sankou County is basically all disaster victims, and only these large local merchants with strong heritage can protect themselves.

Therefore, it is not easy to get them to take out food!

Even if you spend money to buy it, it will definitely be more expensive than usual!

Looking at these big grain producers, Chen Xiao had no expression on his face, and said lightly:

"As the saying goes, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! Now, my hometown has been hit by a disaster, I don't know if you have the heart to do your part? ”

What he said was a bit of a moral kidnapping, but it didn't hurt!

A big grain farmer at the head laughed dryly: "What do you mean...... Let me wait, open a warehouse to release grain, and give relief to the victims? ”

Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "Now, Sankou County is the time when it is affected by the disaster, you have strong strength and extraordinary family background, as the so-called, take it from the people and use it for the people."

If you are willing to give grain for disaster relief, I believe that you will not only be praised by the imperial court, but also admired by all the people, and your business will definitely be supported and helped by the people in the future! ”

This is cleverly said, and it is actually a reminder to these rich people present.

The meaning is very simple, with the people, you are considered rich.

If these three counties have been affected, even if you have money, what will happen?

This is the big picture, in the case of modern businessmen, the pattern of entrepreneurs.

There were many such merchants in ancient China.

When many local areas were affected by disasters, the local wealthy people would open warehouses and release grain to help the victims.

There are even many merchant families with strict family rules who will set the rules, if the place is affected by a disaster, they will inevitably scatter their wealth as soon as possible to reduce the damage caused by the disaster to the people!

There were quite a lot of such businessmen in ancient China.

It was also very respected by the ancient people!

It's just that Chen Xiao is thinking a little too much at the moment.

Obviously, what he met was not someone who had a big-picture view of the entrepreneurial pattern.

Most businessmen are still more selfish.

Like the one in front of you.

The merchant at the head spoke, "What did you say...... Most of the millions of people in Sankou County have been affected by the disaster, how can we have a way to save a few small businessmen?

This is a matter for the imperial court, and if the imperial court can solve it, that is the best. If the court can't solve it, we will naturally find a way to move out of here and go somewhere else! ”

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself if this was what people said?

Co-author, the people in this place are starving to death, it doesn't matter, you change places, or are you rich?

This simply made Chen Xiao speechless.

Sure enough, businessmen still put their interests first, no wonder they have the lowest status in Shinong Industry and Commerce.

Because all of them only have interest!

Chen Xiao took a deep breath and continued to try to convince them:

As the saying goes, for businessmen, walk the world with benevolence and faith. In fact, opening a warehouse and releasing grain is not an investment? Your actions will make the people who survived because of your food gratitude.

In the future, they will definitely take care of your business. In this way, you may get greater rewards and gains, and from your point of view, you will make a sure profit! ”

More than a dozen businessmen looked at each other, and Chen Xiao's words did not impress them.

Man. But Chen Xiao does have a point, this business is also very important to win people's hearts.

But they just don't want to do this good thing.

So, a businessman said, "My lord, it's not that we don't want to help, it's really the landlord's family, and there is no surplus food......

The others nodded their heads, as if they didn't have anything to eat!

Chen Xiao's face was slightly not good-looking, and said, "Everyone, in this way, I'll buy it according to the market price, how about it!" ”

At this moment, the merchants' eyes lit up.

What are you doing with grain storage? Isn't it just to sell?

Now that the disaster is serious and the people have no food, it is the time for them to make a lot of money, so they are willing to put food there for disaster relief.

Isn't it fragrant to make money?

It's just that when I usually sell it, I sell it when I sell it, and when I sell it in times of disaster, I sell it too.

But if it is still sold at the usual level in times of disaster, how can the significance of the disaster be highlighted?

"My lord, we don't plan to sell this grain. However, in order to help the victims, we can only endure the pain and love. But at the usual price, it definitely won't work. ”

Chen Xiao was stunned: "What do you mean!" ”

"In this special case, you have to add 30%!" Said the rich man at the head.

Chen Xiao's face immediately turned blue!

To be honest, let these people open a warehouse and release grain, they don't agree, and Chen Xiao is not angry.

Merchants are mercenary, and they can't be forced to be the same as those businessmen with virtue and benevolence.

During the disaster, you don't help, but you still make money, that's right.

But you know that it is a disaster, but you deliberately raise the price of food to save people, this is too dark, right?

Where is this steamed bun that eats human blood, this is the meat of these victims on their blood, eating it bite by bite.

Even Chen Xiao thought to himself, these guys are storing grain on such a large scale, won't they just wait for a disaster to make a wave?

Actually, I guessed a few correctly.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Chen Xiao said:

"This is the money of the imperial court, this is the money to buy food for the victims, what we are talking about now is a deal to save countless lives! You told me, it's 30% more expensive than usual? ”

The businessman at the head smiled and said, "This ...... After all, now, in the entire Sankou County, we also have food, my lord, can you buy it? ”

Chen Xiao suddenly smiled: "Interesting, there are actually people who want to take advantage of me like this?" It's really interesting! ”
