Chapter 236: The Mo Family Collects Grain.
"Dad, what should I do?" The weather was extremely hot, the black-faced man father and son hid in the shade of the tree to enjoy the coolness, the son nibbled on a bite of pancakes, and looked at the cart full of grain with a sad face.
"What's so terrible about this, the food is in our hands, and if it can't be sold, keep it for us to eat." The black-faced man said heroically, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Originally, it was an exciting thing to hear His Majesty's grain price protection order, but in the end, it became an empty joy!
At this moment, a transport convoy from Mojia Village rushed to Chang'an City from south to north, and the leader of the team was a strong man in his twenties, who was Li Xin.
Li Xin saw the black-faced father and son sitting on the roadside on the road, and couldn't help but say, "But you two want to sell grain?" ”
The son of the black-faced man preemptively said: "Exactly, it's a pity that all the grain stores don't collect grain." ”
Li Xin laughed and said: "That's because you didn't find the right place, and Mojia Village in the south bought a lot of grain." ”
"Really?" The black-faced man was suddenly pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect that there would be such a turn for the better at the most desperate moment.
"That's nature, we are the transport team of Mojia Village." Li Xin said proudly.
The black-faced man suddenly believed a little, Mojia Village has recently become famous in Chang'an City, and suddenly became rich, plus the children of Mojia Village walked the streets and alleys to sell chickens, ducks and goose cubs in various places, and the poultry they raised were the cubs of Mojia Village that they bought.
"I don't know how much food costs?" The black-faced man asked.
"Of course, it is seven cents per bucket, and all of them are official fights, to ensure that Tong Su is not bullied." Li Xin said.
The official fight is an official measurement tool issued by the imperial court, which is naturally extremely accurate, but there will be no situation where the big bucket enters and the small bucket goes out.
The father and son were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately drove to Mojia Village.
The news that Mojia Village purchased grain according to seven cents per bucket instantly spread throughout the south of Chang'an City, just like the black-faced man, there were many farmers who could not sell grain, and after getting the news, they quickly flocked to the direction of Mojia Village.
"The price is fair, seven cents per bucket."
"Tong Su is not bullied, fair and just, and the standard official fight is used!"
"And it's settled in cash!"
………………
After returning to the village after selling the grain, the news soon spread throughout the village, and soon more farmers went to Mojia Village to sell grain.
"The shopkeeper is not good! Mojia Village has harvested grain. Wei Lai reported to the shopkeeper in a panic.
Shopkeeper Wei's face suddenly turned ugly, he was confident that no one in the entire south of Chang'an City dared to disobey the Wei Du family, but this Mojia Village was an exception.
The Mo family is in full swing in Chang'an City, the Mo family is in the limelight, this time the price of food has soared, it is the Mo family that has made it up, plus some time ago, the second young master of the Du family, Du He, returned to the Du family's old house from Chang'an City, but it has spread all over the south of Chang'an City, and it is said that the biggest reason is to offend the Mo family.
"Rest assured, the food in Mojia Village has not been enough to eat, and it has become a practice to buy food every year. Shopkeeper Wei thought for a while and said,
Of course, he didn't forget to report this matter to the lords of Chang'an City, the affairs of the Mo family are not something that he can manage as a manager.
Soon, the news of Chang'an City came, don't provoke Mojia Village for the time being, after all, Mojia Village has ink magazines, if Mojia Village breaks out about the fact that the Wei Du family jointly cut off the grain harvest, and don't let others buy it, then they will be in a lot of trouble.
However, after three days, Mojia Village was still buying grain on a large scale, and there was an endless stream of farmers pulling grain every day.
"What's going on in Mojia Village? This food is enough for them to eat until the New Year, how can they not be satisfied. Shopkeeper Wei frowned.
Wei Lai wiped his sweat and said: "Back to the shopkeeper, the villain has already explored a few times, the head of Mojia Village Li said that the land in Mojia Village has not been cultivated in rotation in recent years, and this year he is going to buy more grain and rotate one-third of the land in the village." ”
Shopkeeper Wei took a long breath and held back the anger in his heart.
After another three days, the grain collection work in Mojia Village was still not over, and the grain was still purchased openly.
"Mojia Village said that they will recruit workers on a large scale in the second half of the year, and the recruitment of workers in Mojia Village is in charge of food." Wei Lai swallowed a mouthful of spit and said cautiously.
Such a statement, even how much he believes, even if he recruits more workers, he can't use these grains.
"Mojia Village is really not afraid of offending our Weidu family." Shopkeeper Wei was already furious, and said fiercely.
Even if there is more food demand in Mojia Village, Shopkeeper Wei doesn't want to believe it anymore, because Mojia Village has seriously damaged the prestige of the Wei Du family by doing so.
"The shopkeeper, there are already many grain merchants who can't bear it anymore and come to ask for countermeasures." Wei Lai said anxiously.
Now many grain merchants have put pressure on them, they do not collect grain here, and a large amount of grain flows to Mojia Village, and they can only do it in a hurry.
"Tell those grain merchants that according to my estimates, the money in Mojia Village is almost enough, so they don't need to worry." Wei shopkeeper said.
Although there is not much grain that farmers can sell now, the sum of grain from one household to another is not a small number. Mojia Village has made a lot of money, how much food can it buy?
"The wisdom of the shopkeeper!" Wei Lai suddenly figured out the joints and hurriedly complimented.
…………
Shopkeeper Wei's guess was right, Mojia Village really didn't have much money. This time, Mojia Village used to buy grain, and all the cash in Mojia Village has been emptied.
"Young master, there is no money left in Mojia Village!"
In the Mo Mansion, Li Yi said with joy and sorrow.
As a farmer who has been digging in the soil for half his life, Li Yi was full of joy when he saw a warehouse full of grain, not only that, but even all the villagers of Mojia Village also strongly supported the purchase of grain.
In this era, food is the biggest hard currency, and the previous poor life made the people of Mojia Village have a paranoid pursuit of food.
"If you don't have any money, then you can go to Mr. Xu!" Merton smiled and pointed behind Uncle Li.
Li Yi hurriedly turned around, only to find that Xu Jie's tired face appeared behind him.
"Didn't Brother Xu go to Luoyang City?" Li Yi was surprised.
"I heard that Shopkeeper Li needed money, so Xu came back from Luoyang to send money to Brother Li." Xu Jie said with a smile on his face.
"Send money?" Li Yi was suddenly shocked, and looked up at Xu Jie incredibly, being able to let Xu Jie personally send it back, it was naturally not a small amount.
"Mr. Xu has made a lot of money in Luoyang City, which is a lot more than in Chang'an City!" Merton said cheerfully.
Luoyang City is indeed a vast market, coupled with the fact that it is the midpoint of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, there are countless merchants who come and go, and the products of Mojia Village are naturally selling very well, coupled with the brewing and indirect publicity of Chang'an City during this period of time, there are a large number of orders in a short period of time.
"The owner has won the prize. Xu is just running errands. Xu Jie said modestly, although the products of Mojia Village are indeed good, Xu Jie's efforts in it are even more indispensable.
When he arrived in Chang'an City, Xu Jie used his previous business relationship to open up the market as quickly as possible.
"Now that Mojia Village has money, then continue to buy grain openly." Merton waved his hand.
