It's not the speed of these stores, or that they really have food to sell. The mystery of the sugar water shop has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even if there is food to sell at this time, it is within the acceptable range of them.

What really blinded them was the price cards that were stuck in the grain one by one. I saw that there were numbers written on it one by one, five hundred, seven hundred, eight hundred. They all have one thing in common.

Expensive! More expensive than gold.

In normal times, the grain is up to the sky, that is, two hundred, and now the grain that is fried on the black market is in full swing, and it is not more than 300 years old, but the grain here is clearly marked with a price of 500.

"How can it be so expensive?"

"What is this for grain and this for gold?"

"It seems that the owner of this sugar water shop is not a good thing, and now he only thinks about making money."

"It's normal for businessmen to pursue profits."

"Then you can't sell it like this, how can people buy it if you sell it like this!"

The quarrel outside was getting louder and louder, but all these reactions of the people were expected by him Li Xie. The price of starting at 500 is indeed very high, but it is definitely within the affordable range of the middle class.

It's just that at this price of grain, if they eat like this all year long, they will have no other spare money to do anything else. However, these prices are only temporary, and Li Xie believes that as long as there are still people to buy grain at this price, then those families will fly up like flies that smell rotten eggs. At that time, the price of grain will definitely fall step by step due to the price war, and finally fall to the freezing point.

It was precisely because of the expectation that Li Xie had already ordered people to train the children in these shops. If you sell it so expensive, you have to have a reason to sell it so expensive, and the price is never the reason to determine whether the product can be accepted by others.

The mouth of the person who sells the product is the decisive factor in determining whether the product can be sold or not.

"Everyone, be quiet, our host said that the reason why food is so expensive is because it is really not easy to get it. And don't look at the price so expensive, but our owner promises that it will be at this price for the next year. No matter how much food is lacking elsewhere, the price of food in our store will never increase. At the same time, it can ensure that food will not be cut off for the next year. ”

The noisy sound outside had already attracted the attention of the shopkeeper in the store. Such a big scene, a small shopkeeper, where has he experienced it, fortunately, because he was trained in advance, he had some preparation in his heart, so he was just nervous, and he was not afraid.

I saw that after his trembling feet and hands slammed open the door of the store, he watched everyone almost close their eyes and shouted these words.

As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused an uproar, the owner of this sugar water shop has enough energy!

At this time, not only can we get enough food, but we can also ensure that there will be no shortage of food.

"What guarantees do you have?"

"That's right, what guarantee do you take, when you make a profit, close the store, and no one can help you."

"This is a document signed with the government, and our store guarantees that in the next year, no matter how much grain is sold, there will be no shortage of food. There must be a reason for us to dare to mark this price, otherwise the official family will not let us sell it. It is a little more expensive, but it is absolutely guaranteed that the grain will not be stored for more than three years, and that there will be no shortage of food. ”

In the face of everyone's doubts, the shopkeeper seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, which was exactly the same as what he said during the training. The script is right, then it's time for him to play.

I saw him take out a piece of paper, which had the official seal of the government on it. While taking it out for everyone to see, he said it loudly. After the document was shaken in front of everyone, he didn't take it back, but slapped it directly on the door panel.

The paste on the door panel made in advance plays a role at this time, and the paperwork is such a piece of paper, and as soon as it is slapped up, it will immediately stick to the door frame.

"The document is here, and the unbelievers can come and watch it, and our owner also said that we are the only ones who sell grain in the market now, even if the price is high, you must accept it, okay! Open the door to do business. With that, he went back to the shop.

What the shopkeeper said is indeed a fact, even if your grain is expensive, what if it is expensive? Since the government has allowed it, then he can mark this price. Now there is only one shop in the market that sells grain, and even if the price doubles, you have to accept it as long as the government allows it.

"Well, it looks like the next year is not going to be easy."

"The year is not good, what can be done?"

One by one, everyone sighed and turned away, looking at their appearance, they thought they would not buy it, who would have thought that in less than half an hour, they came around with money bags one by one.

"Give me a burden first, don't ...... Two quintals. Come, settle the money now, hurry up! ”

"Brother, but I came first, and there has to be a first-come-first-served purchase."

"I've only heard of buying things, and the highest price gets, but I've never heard of it, first come, first served. You came first? You came first, who is to blame if you stand here and don't sell? The little brother pretended to be mine first. ”

"Hurry up and pretend to be mine first, I'll arrive first, shouldn't it be mine first?"

The sound of quarrels can be seen everywhere, and when the grain is transported into the store bag by bag, the quantity is seen by everyone. Even if there is a guarantee from the government at this time, it will never be sold out, but no one is sure when the next batch of grain will arrive.

Anyway, what they see in their eyes is that the amount of grain that has arrived now is not very large. And it was also written on the paperwork above before, and the price will definitely not rise again. That is to say, even if you buy it after ten days, it is still at this price, in this case, it is better to buy it early, after all, for the sake of your stomach, you will feel at ease when you hoard food in your hands.

"You don't have to argue, just get in line. There will never be a shortage of food, and everyone can buy it with confidence. ”

The shopkeeper greeted him like this, and at the same time he was busy with the work in his hands, constantly instructing people to move a bag of food out.

The grain here is selling so hotly, of course, it is impossible for the family to be indifferent. In fact, many people from the family have already sent people out to inquire about the grain trafficking.

By the time the sun went down, the number of people selling grain was not less, but even more. A bucket of grain earns two to three times more than usual, just by selling it on this day, and by visual inspection, the owner of this sugar water shop has made a lot of money.

It's so good, it's really good. Judging from the current situation, if you play a day later, you will lose a mountain of gold, and if you hoard food in your hands, it is just a bargaining chip. What is sold is money, and money is power.

If you can seize this opportunity and sell all the food you have hoarded, it is not impossible for the strength of the family to rise again.

Besides, if people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, even if you win the battle, the benefits are only for the three major families, what do they have to do with these small families? Thinking about it like this, the people of those families couldn't wait even more, and began to arrange manpower overnight, began to mobilize food, and began to open stores for sale.

Of course, it is impossible to find someone to discuss such things that go against the collective interests, so everyone has a very tacit understanding to put these things in the dark.

Even the existing shops in the family did not dare to use them, they all chose to rent other shops in exchange for these grains, and the people who sold the grain were all found by them from outside, and they were definitely not their own people.

At that time, even if someone thinks it is strange and investigates these things, they will only find out who the owners of these shops are. In the end, it won't work, and I definitely won't point the finger at my own head anyway.

Here, the family played the abacus ping-pong, and Li Xie's palace was not lively at this time. Market price manipulation and the attrition of price wars are completely unstudied in this era.

Even if someone knows a little or two, it must be those who have been in business all year round, and for those officials in high ranks, no one understands this.

Perhaps, if they wanted to suppress it in a simple way, they might think of something, but they certainly couldn't figure it out.

No one knows about Lee Seop's original being the owner of a sugar water shop, but this time it's for the sake of selling grain. But he almost made his identity public.

Of course, the disclosure here refers to the eyes of the two princes. Li Xie's high-priced grain sales, they couldn't figure it out at all, they would only think that he was trying to make money.

The fourth prince, Li Xiaolin, laughed when he heard the news, he felt that Li Xie's move was completely unrelated to the throne. At the same time, I also have a good impression of my younger brother in my heart, which is rare!

People can be stupid like this, since you have cut off your future, then if I become an emperor in the future, I will definitely not embarrass you.

Yes, Li Xie's approach is nothing more than two situations in Li Xiaolin's eyes. Well, of course, he's really stupid like this.

Second, it is also possible that he did this on purpose, in order to cut off his future and not compete with them for the position of emperor. In this way, although he can't get the ultimate power, with Li Xie's approach, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, he will definitely be glorious and rich, and he will enjoy endless life in his life.

Naturally, Li Xie's approach completely cut off his future. inexplicably got his favor.

The second prince, Li Xuezhong, felt that his younger brother had caused a big deal. Of course, when he was in the main hall, Li Xie was very faceless, but he was his younger brother, who had no grievances in the past and no hatred in the near future, and he had a blood relationship here, anyway, he Li Xuezhong couldn't see Li Xie being sent to death in vain.

Li Xuezhong thought so in his heart, so of course he did it, and came to the door overnight. For Li Xie, it was a dissuasion.

"My stupid brother, although my father said that he gave you food, you can't make it like this. You are joking with your future life, if you do this, tomorrow the civil and military officials will definitely be on the setback, father, he has never stopped this aspect of things and watched it happen. You're new to the city and you don't have a foothold, what are you going to do......"

After a fierce persuasion, Li Xie was disgraced by this brother who only had two faces. I've seen nagging, I've never seen such nagging, Li Xie and Li Xuezhong sat side by side, only to feel that their heads were buzzing all the time.

Although I feel bored, I can really see that my second brother really has no talent in the way of power calculation. I've been complaining here, but I've never given a workable solution.

From dissuasion, to empathy in the back, crying bitterly, and all the way to complaining, Li Zhanji's complaint can be regarded as a true expression. But it also made it clear that he was helpless.

But fortunately, the only advantage is probably that it is emotional. This is excellent, but only for ordinary people. In the emperor's family, if you want to take this supreme path, then this is a huge disadvantage.

Li Xie saw it clearly, but he didn't say anything, and when Li Xuezhong began to complain and complain, he ordered his subordinates to bring wine and food. The two of them ate while ...... Li Xie listened to Li Xuezhong.

Li Xie didn't say a word the whole time, but like this, Li Xuezhong kept saying it until late at night, until he was drunk and fell on the table, still muttering to himself.

Li Xie watched Li Xuezhong fall on the table, and couldn't help but be angry and funny. What is the relationship between the two of us, although they are brothers, but they have only seen two sides~ Big brother, do you dare to be a little bit in the tiger?

If I have any bad intentions for you at this time, and do something to frame you, you won't be able to wash it even if you jump into the Yellow River.

Li Xie shook his head and ordered his subordinates to help Li Xuezhong go down to rest. At the same time, I also thought that my own Lao Tzu probably couldn't understand the purpose of what he was doing. Therefore, Li Xie frowned, and for the sake of insurance, he went back to the study, wrote down all his plans on a piece of paper, and put them in an envelope......

On the other side, Chen Pingqing's three old men also got together and discussed for a long time. But even if I want to break my head, I don't understand the reason for this. Taking out the grain in the hands of the imperial court and selling it is originally a last resort, and the crux of the problem is that what you sell is still so expensive, it can't be implemented in the hands of those ordinary people at the highest level.

This is equivalent to saying that the purpose of distributing food to the hands of ordinary people has not been achieved at all as desired by the imperial court. When Liu Bao, the head of the household department, discussed the situation on Li Xie's side truthfully with the three old men, the three old men couldn't sit still.

Li Xie is very smart and methodical, and the three old men also agree with it very much, and affirm. But they also know that Li Xie is still young after all, no matter how smart his mind is, no matter how wicked he is, the methods he comes up with are all they can see through at a glance. This has been the case a few times before, and they think it must be the same this time.

But it's strange at this point, the grain has been sold for a whole day, and Li Xie didn't make any next moves. Even, Li Xie distributed the food, and after selling it, he went home beautifully.

The three old men couldn't figure it out, and finally thought about it, thinking that Li Xie should be the prince, and felt that he couldn't do it without money under his hands. There is no choice but to take risks and get some money in this way.

It has been a while since the three old men returned to the imperial court, but the things they deal with are all matters in the imperial court. They have no right to meddle in the affairs inside the hidden guards.

So they don't know at all how much profit the wharf outside the West City has every day. Of course, it is not clear how rich Li Xie is now.

It is no exaggeration to say that all the silver and two keys earned by the establishment of Xincheng Wharf have been gathered and realized. Li Xie had to vacate half of the room in the palace to hold the money.

It is precisely because they don't know this that their impression of Li Xie is still at the level of going to Liu Zuxiang's house to eat after getting off work every day.

"It's understandable, it's not easy to be a prince, you have to use money in all aspects to compete for fame and fortune. Putting these aside, there is a huge palace, and the monthly expenses are a lot of silver. ”

Hu Guoshi is a typical mathematical vision of the world, so there is only absolute right and wrong in his eyes. That's why he has no way to do personnel scheduling, and can only do things that manage accounts and check corruption.

"I don't think so, I've been with him for a long time, he doesn't look like such a short-sighted person." Liu Zuxiang really can't see through Li Xie's approach, but he can see through his personality.

"It's useless to talk too much, let's just watch quietly. Also, let's find a way to suppress the flying twists and turns of tomorrow. Chen Pingqing lived here and discussed this matter for a long time, but he thought clearly about the impact of this matter.

First of all, tomorrow, the recitals of civil and military officials will fly all over the sky, and Li Xie has no heels in the imperial court, but he is the heir chosen by Li Zhanji.

Public opinion is very scary, it is a knife that kills people without seeing blood. Li Xie is still young, and Chen Pingqing doesn't know if he can withstand such an attack.

So Chen Pingqing thinks it's better to suppress this matter.

"What's the solution? Li Xie's transfer of grain must not be hidden. As soon as he moved here, the grain on that side began to be sold. Even a fool can see the connection. It's okay for the people on our side to say that it's just a matter of one sentence to suppress these twists and turns, but how can we deal with those people from the family? ”

Liu Zuxiang nodded in agreement, and at the same time raised a new question.
