The head of the Sun family thought for a while, held the teacup and said: "According to the previously negotiated grain price is five taels and one stone, plus the freight fee, that is, one stone of grain arriving in Qingzhou is six taels, so the total loss is 60,000 taels, and if you discount it, Chen Gongzi will give 50,000 taels."

Chen Ji broke his fingers, "Counting the 50,000 stones that arrived safely, I have to give you a total of 350,000 taels here......" Chen Ji himself gasped first, and always felt that things were in trouble.

"Well, in addition to the deposit of 70,000 yuan that has been paid, Chen Gongzi still needs to give me another 280,000 yuan."

Chen Ji looked at the smiling appearance on the other side, and felt angina.

The other side immediately became a little serious, "If Chen Gongzi can't take out so much for a while, you can also give me an IOU, just stamp the big seal of Chen Tong's judgment, and the money can be discussed." ”

Chen Ji sighed, "Master Sun really thought a lot about me." ”

"After all, it's not good to do business with a cheerful person like Chen Gongzi." Master Sun paused, his brows furrowed slightly, "However, with so much grain, it is difficult to put it on the market for a while, right?" ”

Chen Ji nodded, "I can only try, as long as I sell it for one stone and seven taels, I won't lose too much on this trip." ”

The other side stopped talking and took a sip of tea.

Chen Ji didn't say much, there is no need to say many things, at the moment the two sides are just business dealings on the books, and there is no need to break some of the ways behind it.

After settling down with Master Sun, Chen Ji pulled Shen Qiu and held a small meeting.

"Let's go the same way as before, throw some of it on the black market, and you should be able to eat it in a short time. After that, I went to Lao Chen to discuss, it is best for the government to put some inside information on buying grain, and confuse the current Qingzhou shopping mall a little. After getting the news, the speculators from the surrounding state capitals will come over, so that half of the 50,000 stone grain should not be a problem. ”

Chen Ji said for a while, Shen Qiu nodded beside him, and then added: "Young Master, the few merchants you bought earlier, can you also put some grain for them?"

Chen Ji bowed: "Of course, this kind of thing can be broken into zero, of course, it is the best."

“……”

The two of them summed up for a while, and Chen Ji explained that Shen Qiu could act cheaply outside the plan, and immediately rushed to Qingzhou Mansion to find Chen Xiujie. Today's Qingzhou market is actually nearly saturated, and the merchants do not dare to hoard on a large scale for a while, but in response to the call of the Qingzhou government, the part of the amount vacated after the generosity is not large.

Of course, in Chen Ji's plan, most of the grain in his hands will not be sold in this way, and he is still waiting for the time to fill the market with a large amount of grain to level the grain price in Qingzhou. Originally, this matter should have started immediately, but the thought of throwing so much money into it made me a little angry. Those big grain farmers will lose a lot of money anyway, so it is better to lose it in his hands. Now in his eyes, there is nothing more important than silver.

Hurried to the yamen to find Chen Xiujie, asked some about the follow-up of the disaster relief, and then comforted Lao Chen a few words, expressed his distress, and left.

Chen Xiujie was puzzled, but she didn't have the heart to care about these. I wanted to ask Zheng Jiawa about the situation, but I didn't have time in the end.

Chen Ji left the mansion and found a few idlers, but he also began to spread rumors, and the next day, the newspaper under his name also revealed some news on the page of "Lace News".

After doing this, Chen Ji secretly left Qingzhou and rushed to Zhengjiawa outside the city.

……

The temporary command center on the hill is still busy, and the principal Hou Mingyu has completely lost weight, and his eyes are bloodshot and swollen. When Chen Ji looked through the booklet on the table, he reported on the side: "Now Zhengjiawa has a total of 1,130 households and a population of 5,867 people. But there are more than 1,400 young people between the ages of 18 and 40......"

When Chen Ji heard this, he probably had some understanding of the population level of Zhengjiawa, nodded and said, "These people should still have a sense of belonging here, right?"

The reason for this question is also because a large part of the people who were resettled before chose to continue to flee after solving the initial food and clothing problems, otherwise this gathering point was originally built according to the standard of accommodating 20,000 people.

Hou Mingyu nodded: "During this period of running-in, the propaganda team has been doing work from house to house, and most of them have no intention of leaving."

Chen Ji nodded with satisfaction, and then exchanged opinions with Hou Mingyu and others on some details, so he didn't bother to speak. The current situation is still progressing according to his expectations.

Hou Mingyu said another thing before leaving, "But recently, some of the people who originally left have returned." ”

"Yes, of course. The benefits given to them should be differentiated, but they are not allowed to make a fuss about food and housing. The people who were selected for the manor on the other side of Qingxiu Mountain had to be selected from the previous ones. ”

"I know that."

"Hmm. This year, I am afraid that the disaster will not be until August, so pay attention to your own safety during this time. In addition, has Feng Xuexiao ever been back? ”

"No, it's just a regular shipment of grain, and it's not rationed."

Chen Ji nodded, this kind of thing like black eating black, it's good to be regular, how dare you expect to be quantitative.

Song Qingming kept shrinking behind the fire pit, put down the tongs, clapped his hands, and got up and leaned over. said, "I have already asked about the Dengzhou Mariner, and I may not do it until the disaster is over." ”

Chen Ji was puzzled: "Have you seen Xu Ge old?"

"Nope. Although Xu Ge Lao nodded in this matter, the specific things still have to be explained below, and if you give up the money, you can always get some news. ”

"Then it's time to strike while the iron is hot. At what level will this be delegated? ”

"Qingzhou Mansion and Denglai will deal with it. However, according to the grapevine, the two states of Denglai may be merged as a result. ”

Three pairs of eyes stared at each other for a while, and Chen Ji got up and said, "Let's find out the news again." Once the grapevine comes true, it's even harder for us to make a move. ”

"Hmm."

Hou Mingyu, as a dog-headed military advisor, began a meticulous plan again.

From time to time, there were a few cheap laughs in the hut, and if it weren't for the fast mountain wind, it might have scared others.

When it was over, the three of them also pointed at each other, and scolded a few words with complicated eyes, "It's too treacherous." ”

Generally speaking, the structure built by several people now, filled with heart, is basically a new "behemoth" in Qingzhou within three or five years, so in the laughter and scolding, there is also a very heavy hope mixed in.

For Hou Mingyu and Song Qingming, in just half a year, the boat that was stormy has changed greatly, and they suddenly feel a world away.

Of course, the premise of everything is to be able to get through this difficult time smoothly at the moment. If so, the shortfall of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on the books would be enough for them to "die without a place to be buried".
