Ma Fang let it out, and the hundreds of thousands of money at home were directly loaded in a car and transported outside the city, in one word, buy.

This buy, but also pay attention to a little strategy, Gan Qi is behind the horse side is to make a plan. Let Ma Fang cry everywhere and call his mother to buy, saying everywhere that he is losing money, and the military rations are going to be cut off, this one buys 350,000 yuan, and that family buys 350,000 yuan, and he must not stare at one to buy.

Because Ganchi also wants to make money, he doesn't want to buy food that is too expensive.

Yanjing was almost bought, and Ma began to go farther to the countryside, Yizhou, Zhuozhou, Danzhou, and to the west to Datong.

Gan Qi didn't follow him around, but stayed in Yanjing City and walked around Yanjing for a while.

Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, in fact, is not an easy place to defend for the south, there is no danger to defend in the face of the south, the real focus of defense is this Yanjing City, which has more than 300,000 people and 40,000 or 50,000 troops. The city walls are high, and there are inner and outer cities, and there are urn cities.

Gan Qi also began to study the urn city, this thing is really troublesome for the war, if it is a siege war, one is not good, the urn city is a big trap, a meat grinder.

By the time the horse side turned around and returned with a full load, Gan Qi also knew everything about this Yanjing City.

When they met again, Ma Fang was excited: "Brother Xian, the price of food has risen again, I went to Hanjiazhuang before entering the city, how are you?" ”

"How?" Gan Qi cooperated with the performance of the horse side.

"Han Lao'er opened his mouth two and three, no matter how I pleaded, he didn't let go of his breath...... At that time, I almost couldn't help laughing, haha...... "Ma Fang is enjoying the pleasure of his own calculations.

Gan Qi, who is really scheming, said: "This increase is not enough, I have always bought seven or eight things, and it has only risen so much, which is far from enough." ”

Ma Fang immediately returned to reality and said: "Brother, I don't think it's enough, what should I do if I sell it like this, or make too little money?" ”

Ma Fang frowned and thought.

Gan Qi is such a good person, so he naturally has to relieve Ma Fang's worries, and said: "Brother, my fleet is coming back soon, and I came back this time with seven or eight hundred thousand yuan, do you want it?" ”

"Will you lend me money?" Ma Fang said in surprise.

Gan Qi was a little embarrassed: "This ...... Or, brother, if I come back this time with 800,000 yuan, I will lend half of it to my brother, and the rest will be my own, how about it? ”

"Okay, good, the virtuous brother is really righteous, my brother can get to know the virtuous brother in this life, it is really a blessing from several lifetimes, the virtuous brother can rest assured, the elder brother will not lend your money in vain, and calculate the interest for you." The horse side was excited, and the night pearl gurgled.

"It should be, it should be." Gan Qi is really righteous and thin clouds.

"Brother Xian, your business is your brother's business, if you want cloth, salt and tea, my brother will help you buy it, and my brother will also help you buy food." Ma Fang is also righteous, in this world, where is there a person who is willing to lend hundreds of thousands of yuan to another person? Biological brothers can't do that either.

The Ma side, who was born at the bottom, was really moved at this time.

"Thank you, brother!" Gan Qi's heart blossomed.

"Let's go, my brother will take you to an elegant place for recreation, isn't the virtuous brother the most fond of Gan Qi of the Great Song Dynasty? Today, I will invite ten Oiran to sing all night, and I will sing Ganchi's words, and I will sing enough. "The horse side is still very bold.

"And the play, I heard Gan Chi's play in a garden in the city a few days ago, and this one is the best." Gan Qi said.

"Okay, wrap up a garden, invite the troupe over together, and sing him all night when the gongs and drums are noisy." The horse patted his chest.

Gan Qi suddenly asked softly: "Is my brother enough money?" ”

Ma Fang was suddenly embarrassed, looked left and right, and spread his hands: "Brother has two night pearls here, just sell him one." ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, I'll ask my brother tonight." Gan Qi laughed.

"No, no, no, the virtuous brother turned out to be a guest, how can you let the virtuous brother entertain the elder brother? You wait, I'll go out and sell one of the beads!" After saying that, Ma Fang turned his head and went out, and the two beloved night pearls were ready to bet one on the pawnshop.

Gan Qi looked at Ma Fang's back, shook his head and smiled, and muttered to himself: "It's really a good person, it's a pity!" ”

What is a pity?

Ganchi didn't go any further.

When it comes to fun, Ganchi can play better than the horse's side, and he also plays more advanced than the horse's side.

Ganqi's money came back quickly, and within a few days, hundreds of thousands of yuan came from the sea in a carriage.

Ma Fang began to be busy again, he knew that he was going to make a fortune, and he was not tired of anything.

Gan Qi sometimes wonders if people like businessmen really don't care about the people and only care about making money. Don't even think much about whether or not to sell the country?

The sixteen states of Yanyun are also a little embarrassing, if you want to say that the Ma side is betraying the country, from Ganqi's point of view, or from the perspective of a Han person, the Khitan Daliao is obviously not the motherland of the Ma side.

But do the Han people of Yanyun really have such a heart for the Great Song Dynasty? In fact, this is not the case, many Song people have this kind of mentality, and they only think that the Yanyun Han people are yearning for the Great Song Dynasty.

But the reality slapped those Song people in the face, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huizong Zhao Ji Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty raised troops to invade Liao, and the Jin people attacked Liao from the north and south.

At that time, even Emperor Zhao Ji felt that as long as the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty arrived, the Yanyun Han people would inevitably eat pot pulp to welcome the king's division, but the reality was that one by one, the Han people stood on the city wall and fought bravely against the army of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty.

What should we say about this reality?

Maybe you should admire the Liao State, when the Khitan people are sinicized to a certain point, for ordinary people, as long as they can live and work in peace and contentment, the Sinicized Khitan people rule them, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. At this point, the Khitans may have achieved the point of buying people's hearts.

As a businessman, Ma Fangfang turned a blind eye to the beggars who were slowly increasing in Yanjing City in order to make money.

If Gan Qi is a native of Yanyun, then a businessman like Ma Fang, Gan Qi will definitely want to kill him quickly.

But in all dynasties, are there few businessmen like Ma who are difficult to make money for the country and the people?

There are really a lot, even when it comes to the life and death of the country and the nation, there are still such people, such as in the later Republic of China period, businessmen with no conscience are everywhere.

Making money and making a fortune seems to be the only value orientation of a large number of businessmen, and other things have to stand aside.

What can't afford to eat, what starves to death, Ma Fang doesn't seem to have even thought about this kind of problem.

But Gan Qi thought about it, and was thinking about it now.

But it's just a matter of thinking.

None of the countries can be unified, and the homeland is in the hands of foreigners, so what's the use of saying anything else?

Ma Fang came back with money and more expensive food, bought it himself, helped Ganqi buy it, and also helped Ganqi buy a lot of cloth, salt, tea and other livelihood items.

When he saw Gan Qi again, Ma Fang said mysteriously to Gan Qi: "Brother Xian, I have discovered a big thing. ”

"What?" Gan Qi asked.

"I found that grain merchants in many places are also hoarding grain...... "There is some concern on the Malaysian side, others are also hoarding grain, which seems to be bad news for the Malaysian side.

"Brother don't worry, that's right!" Gan Qi has a black heart.

"Why does Brother Xian think so?"

"The more people hoard, the higher the price of this grain will naturally rise, and the higher the price of food, won't my brother benefit more?" Gan Qi explained, but there was one more thing he didn't say, and that was what to do with the grain in the hands of these grain merchants when the price of grain rose to a certain point.

Food is not something that can be stored for a long time, it is being hoarded, and the price remains high, who should this food be sold to?

Sell a common man? The people can't afford it.

Sell to other grain merchants, and other grain merchants also wait for others to buy at a high price.

Crash price cut?

This thing, whoever lowers the price loses money. And the first person to cut the price will inevitably be attacked by the group. Whoever dares to cut the price first is offending everyone else.

Are they all carrying without price reduction?

Then it's up to whom!

This is a dead end for these businessmen!

Gan Qi will only make himself immortal, and he can't control the others, including the horse side.

Ma Fang was still nodding again and again: "What Brother Xian said is reasonable, go up, go up to the sky, brother, I'm really going to make a fortune this time." ”

Gan Qi smiled and didn't answer.

Now in Yanjing City, the anger of the people has slowly risen.

For 700 yuan of grain per stone, many people can only buy more than two stones of grain a month.

Now the retail price has risen to almost three dollars. Many people earn money in a month, but they only have enough money to buy half a stone of grain and five buckets of wheat.

A family of four or five, let's eat, barely starving. Don't think about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, let alone meat and vegetables. As for wanting to buy a little other thing, tearing a foot of cloth, buying a little tea, then don't even think about it. The key is cloth and tea, which are already sky-high, even if the price of food does not rise, it is easy to not be able to afford it.

This is still a family with a normal income.

For those who are already on the poverty line, going to the streets has become the only way to survive.

Something is wrong.

Yelu Yixin, the privy envoy of the Southern Court, also received the news, and it was impossible not to receive the news, after all, those officials also had to buy grain to eat, and the price of food was not a burden for them, but there were also people who knew that something was wrong.

On this day, Ma Fang and Gan Qi were calculating the accounts, calculating the cost and price, calculating when the price would be and how much money they could make.

Just as he was happy, a little guy ran in and shouted: "East, east, big deal." ”

"What's the matter?" Ma Fang was in a good mood and his tone was good.

"The Privy Counsellor sent for summoning."

"Oh, my mother!" The Ma side almost didn't stand firm, he had seen Yelu Yixin, after all, he still had a relationship with Yelu Yixin, and he also did business under the banner of Yelu Yixin.

But in the past, it was the horse side who came to the door and knelt down to ask for a meeting, and Yelu Yixin never summoned him.

At this time, when he suddenly heard Yelu Yixin summoning him, Ma Fang was not happy, not stunned, but a little frightened.

"Boss, hurry up, people are waiting at the door, it's not easy to provoke."

Ma Fang immediately got up and galloped, leaving Gan Qi directly in the hall.

The Southern Privy Council, which was changed from the former Nanda Royal Courtyard, was extraordinary, with Khitan warriors wearing heavy armor and holding swords and guns, patrolling left and right in a team.

Ma Fang stood here, not daring to come out, only daring to bow his head and wait for the summons.

In a few moments, the messenger returned, and took the horse to meet him, Jelu Yisin.

Ma Fang lowered his head and followed, and when he walked into a room, he didn't dare to raise his head, so he knelt down first: "Little man and horse, knock on the privy envoy!" ”

"Let me ask you, why has the price of grain in Yanjing City risen to such a point?"

Yelu Yixin's voice was like a bell, and Ma Fang trembled when he heard it, and he still didn't dare to raise his head, and said tremblingly: "Back to the words of the privy envoy, recently, those big landlords have raised the price one after another, and the price of the grain purchased by the villain has risen to 267,000, so the seller is extremely high. ”

"Hmm!" Yelu Yixin made a nasal voice, and scolded again: "These Han dogs are really insatiable, and they don't care about people's lives and deaths, such a price of food, doesn't it make people starve to death on the streets?" ”

Most of the big landlords in the land of Yanyun are Han Chinese, which is true. Because when the Khitans entered the sixteen states of Yanyun, they did not carry out major social changes, but many Han people were still quite important. This is also the reason why the Khitans have been able to rule Yanyun smoothly for so many years, and those powerful wealthy families have not really lost their interests, and they have no motivation to resist.

"Returning to the words of the privy envoy, the villain thinks that the price of this grain will drop in a short time." Ma Fang is weak-hearted, because there is his own business in this, and if he really wants to say that the price of food has risen, Ma Fang can't get rid of it, so he has to downplay this matter.

"How do you know that food prices are going to come down soon?"

"Because...... Because the villain knows that Yanyun has no catastrophe, there is enough food, even if the price rises temporarily, as long as the supply is stable and there is no shortage of food, the price of this grain will inevitably drop. ”

"Well, that makes sense. But...... If time goes on and the people have no way to live, there will be chaos. Tell me, which landlord was the first to raise the price? ”

"Uh...... Han family. When Ma Fang said this, he was trembling.

"The Han family?" When Yelu Yixin heard this answer, he pondered for a moment, if it was someone else's family, it would be easy to say, but it was the Han family, which was a bit difficult to say. In the past, Han Derang, a Han man, was the "regent" of Liao, not to mention the Han officials of Yanyun, even if they were Khitan nobles, I don't know how many people had received Han Derang's favor. This Han family is really a trouble, and it's not easy to move him.

"Well, I know, I will meet the people of the Han family in a few days, and have a good discussion with him, the sooner the price of this grain comes down, the better." Yelu Yixin is going to talk to the Han family, talk about the country and the world, and talk about the people of Limin.

"The Privy Counsellor is a saint." Ma Fang hurriedly patted a sycophant.

"Let me ask you, why is it that the food supplied in the army is still seven or eight hundred yuan a stone?"

Ma Yifang was excited when he heard Yelu Yixin ask such a question, and hurriedly said: "That's all the villain's money pasted in, the privy envoy has just been promoted, the villain relies on the majesty of the privy envoy, and has done some small business, and he never dares to make trouble for the privy envoy at this critical juncture, the villain would rather lose his family business than let others say a word about the privy envoy behind his back." ”

Jeruethin laughed, "Yes, you have done an excellent job, and you are more faithful than many others. I see, go ahead. ”

Ma Fang thanked him for his kindness, was in a good mood, and secretly felt that he was smart, and bowed down and said, "Then the villain will go down." ”

"Go down, and come to see you more later." Jereuzin: This is grace.

"Thank you to the Privy Counsellor for his great kindness." From beginning to end, the horse side did not dare to look up, only at this time, the horse side finally dared to raise his head, Yelu Yixin, two eyebrows flying obliquely, eyes like an eagle falcon, cheekbones protruding, full of majesty.
