Chapter 199: One Hundred Thousand and Buying and Selling Grain

"Don't worry, come carefully!"

Ye Qing said to Shen Sanwan who came in recklessly.

The increase in grain prices was expected by them, so Ye Qing was not surprised.

The people in the hall were not panicked, they had already made a plan.

Shen Wansan then came out one by one about the recent changes.

"My lord, this is an abnormal change, it is man-made, it is a large amount of hoarding and purchase, it is aimed at our Xiaoyao Mansion and the trading house, and it is after we announced that we will repair the reservoir and the river embankment......"

When Shen Wansan finished, Ye Qing did not comment, and turned to look at Li Ru.

Li Ru is in charge of the intelligence department.

His subordinates must have tracked this.

All forces are also the key targets of Jinyiwei.

It is basically known who moved and what was done.

Li Ru said: "The first to strike was the Hongnong Yang family, although they did it very secretly, there were still clues. ”

"Then there are the major families, the people of the Fufeng Palace, and the people of the Hongnong Palace." Li Ru added:

"By the way, there is also the Wuguan side, Chu Yueguo has banned the sale of grain to me for the Great Zhou, I think it should be done by Ye Cai, the new king of Chu!"

"So, our opponents are all shot." Ye Qing smiled and didn't say anything deep.

Guo Jia said: "No, Wansan, didn't we buy our grain from the Hanzhong grain store?" Hanzhong grain shop is from Hanzhong and Shu countries to transport, the grain is very abundant, Yang Liu and other families want to buy Chang'an short can not do it, we have an agreement with the Nanzheng County Palace. ”

"Mr. Bonghyo, that's exactly what I want." Shen Wansan was born in Hanzhong Grain Shop, and he knew the situation better, so he only listened to him:

"Now the Hanzhong grain shop has also stopped supplying us with grain, because of the explosion of food prices, these days because of the rush to buy, all the Hanzhong grain shops in Chang'an are sold out, one needs to be transported from Hanzhong, the two Liangzhou war has not stopped, the military needs can not be broken, and the supply to Liangzhou must be given priority, so there is no excess food for us for the time being."

Looking at Shen Wansan's embarrassed expression, Li Ru explained: "My lord, Zhang Lu, the prince of Nanzheng County, and the county advocate Yanran hurriedly set off to return to Hanzhong on the second day of our proclamation, under the pretext that the New Year is approaching, go back to fulfill filial piety, and reunite with your family. ”

"Hehe, it's really time to go." Zhang Yi snorted coldly:

"I have long seen that this Zhang Lu is not a good thing, and the Zhang family is not a good thing, is this not a good thing? If the grain shop in Hanzhong doesn't give us food, we can't embarrass a few shopkeepers, and it's impossible to go all the way to Hanzhong! ”

"You can find the king of Hedong, but I'm afraid that this low-key prince should be closed at this time, and no one will be seen." Shang Ying also sneered and mocked.

The more the dog doesn't bark, the more it bites, and the more fiercely it bites.

This harmless king of Hedong, who has never done anything, is a real threat.

The best disguise is to become someone close to you, a friend and a relative.

He dared, once he had the opportunity to strike a fatal blow to Xiaoyao Mansion, this king of Hedong would definitely attack faster than anyone else.

The last digging instrument and Yu Ban are a typical example.

"Lord, how are we going to deal with it?" Shen Wansan wiped and asked:

"Can we continue to open up the Kwantung trade route, and use the forces of the Marquis of Luoyang and the Marquis of Wucheng to buy grain from Wei and Korea."

"No need! Buying grain from Wei and Korea has to pass through Hongnong County, or it will be intercepted by the Yang family and the urging family, Hongnong County at this time is still uncontrollable, we will still put the main force in Guan Zheng" Ye Qing thought for a while and said:

"Suspend all alcohol production, especially the wine that is sold to Hanzhong and Liangzhou, and find it yourself!"

"It's the lord, Wan San knows what to do!" Shen Wansan replied, whatever excuse Hanzhong grain store uses, he will use whatever excuse to refuse.

Anyway, everyone knows it!

Ye Qing then asked Zhang Yi, "How much grain do we have?" ”

"According to the principle of grain priority of the lord, we have been hoarding a large number of high-quality and low-cost grains from the Wangfu of Nanzheng County, especially during the autumn harvest, we have quietly purchased a large number of large quantities from major grain merchants.

At this time, the granaries in the house were all piled up, and outside the house, we had hoarded a large amount of grain in the civil affairs workshop and other houses, enough to meet tens of thousands of people until the beginning of spring next year. ”

Ye Qing nodded, food is the foundation, this is the basic strategy he set, so food has been just needed to buy.

In order not to be clicked on the neck.

So Xiaoyao Mansion has never had any money left, because it was withdrawn because of a little money.

That's where it comes in handy.

It's just that this amount is still insufficient.

There is uncertainty about how long the reservoir will actually be repaired.

So Ye Qing asked Shang Ying again: "How many people have signed up!" ”

"Back to the lord, there are 80,000 people who have signed up, this is still in Chang'an City, and the counties near Guanzhong have not been counted back, I believe there are at least tens of thousands.

In total, it will exceed 100,000 people! Shang Ying blurted out, these numbers had long been engraved in his mind.

Lakh!

Silk!

Everyone took a breath of cold air.

Although I expected that there would be a lot of people, the number of 100,000 was still too large.

There are not so many people who are conscripted and sent by the imperial court to fight with the army!

If 100,000 people are not well controlled, it is a catastrophe.

Don't let them work, management is a university question.

100,000 strong laborers.

If someone fanned the flames, it was easy for something big to happen.

And at the foot of the imperial city, how would His Majesty the Emperor who was high above react when he saw it.

Everyone was silent, and they all looked at Ye Qing.

It's not that they don't have ideas, but they need Ye Qing to set a tone.

Ye Qing glanced at everyone, and also thought about it in his mind for a while, and then said:

"I still have more than 30,000 taels of silver here, Shen Wansan, you take it to buy grain, and buy it in Chang'an City, no matter how high the price of the other party is, you will agree and pay a small deposit!"

"It's the lord!"

Thirty thousand taels is a lot, and you can buy a lot of them when you buy them usually.

If you just pay a deposit, you can purchase more food, and Shen Wansan can still do this well.

Then Ye Qing said to Zhang Yi: "You divide the grain outside Xiaoyao Mansion into four or two parts, find four merchants, and sell two of the grains directly to Shen Wansan's trading house, and sell the other two to other grain merchants and grain stores in Chang'an except for the Hanzhong grain store, and Shen Wansan will buy these two parts of grain back." ”

"...... "Everyone!

What kind of operation is this, dry hemp and painstakingly so upside down.

The grain was tossed, and the grain merchants in Chang'an City made the difference in price.

Isn't this a loser?

"Lord, what about after that?" Guo Jia had a flexible brain and seemed to think of something, but he was not convinced, so he asked again.

Things are not so simple, how can the father-in-law of his own family make a loss-making business.

"After that, it is to raise the price, let him rise as high as he can, Shen Wansan continued to place a deposit, and the amount of grain he asked for was doubled for me, in short, to give the outside world a feeling that we would eat as much food as possible, so we were half of the success." Ye Qing smiled and hooked the corners of his mouth and said:

"In the end, it's up to how many fish are hooked!"
