Chapter 264: Price War
Some people say that these rice sellers are driving up prices and more than doubling the price of rice.
This deliberate act of disrupting the market naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the local people, so many people sued these rice sellers one after another, demanding that the yamen punish them.
And those rules in the yamen also acted according to the rules, and immediately sent people to investigate these acts of these rice dealers, but the results of the investigation were shocking.
Just because what these rice sellers said is all true, not because they are driving up prices, but because it is true, the local rice has been sold out, and they have no choice but to go to other places to sell rice and sell it here.
Under this back and forth, I don't know how much more the distance is, and the price is naturally a little higher, and the price raised by the rice dealers may be just enough for them to drive, so now the price has doubled, and it seems quite normal, after all, other rice sellers also need to support their families.
So as soon as the results of this survey came out, many people wondered in their hearts, since it was not the rice sellers who did it there, then where did their local grain go?
Many people have this question in their hearts, but within two days, suddenly someone sold rice in the market, and the price of the sale was naturally higher, but it was not as direct as the previous days.
This price is still within the range of the people's affordability, so when the news was released, the people in the county who rushed to buy rice were eager to buy it, and directly crowded the stores in front of them.
The sale lasted from morning to dusk, and groups of people left with a smile of relief on their faces, and it was clear that they had bought enough rice.
However, the people who bought rice did not all go away because of this, you can see that when these people dispersed, at the door of this shop, there were still teams of carriages, and from those carriages came out of a few people who looked like butlers, and those people who looked like butlers glanced at each other, and they all snorted coldly involuntarily, and then walked towards the shop, and directly called the shopkeeper, one of the housekeepers, looked at the shopkeeper proudly, pointed at the shopkeeper with the fan in his hand and said.
"I said, what's the matter with you? Didn't I send someone to inform you just now? Let you provide some channels, we buy rice from the back door, but you told me that you don't have a back door here, and if you want to buy you, there is only one queue! ”
"That is, did you know that more than 200 people up and down our family are waiting to eat? However, you told me that I couldn't enter through the back door, and that I had to queue up one by one, didn't you fool me! ”
"That's it, if you have money or not, I see that your shopkeeper's brain is in water!"
In the face of the reprimand of the three butlers, the shopkeeper nodded again and again, smiling with a smile on his face.
Seeing that the shopkeeper's attitude of admitting his mistake was quite good, the three housekeepers didn't seem to be ready to continue the investigation, but only heard one of the housekeepers say: "There should still be rice hoarded in the warehouse now!" ”
And the shopkeeper also nodded and said, "Three adults, please rest assured, our store has enough surplus food, enough for the three adults and your family to use!" ”
Since they were able to buy fresh rice, the three housekeepers didn't say anything more, but they waved their hands and signaled to the shopkeeper to come out of the excess rice now, they all wanted it, but the shopkeeper's next sentence made the three of them dumbfounded.
"Hehe, three adults, although we still have surplus grain in the store, but we also have to consider that there will be people to buy tomorrow, there is no way, we can only increase the price a little, now, the price of our bag of rice is this number!"
The shopkeeper directly raised three fingers, and the three butlers were even more dumbfounded, and after a while, one of the butlers finally reacted, and he immediately became furious: "What do you mean by this bastard?" You have directly tripled the price of grain with this double, I think you don't want to mix in this county, say, who is your surname, you are definitely raising prices, I will go to the county government to sue you! ”
What's more, a butler excitedly grabbed the shopkeeper's collar and roared loudly: "Are you mistaken? Do you know who I am, I am the housekeeper of the Zhang family in the south of the city, this time I just came out to buy enough rice for our Zhang family up and down more than 400 people to eat, but you are sitting on the ground here to raise the price, believe it or not our family, just go there and say a few words, you can let your head fall to the ground! ”
In the face of the anger of the three butlers, the shopkeeper could only smile wryly, waved his hand and said: "Three adults, don't be embarrassed, I'm just a doorman, just now, our shopkeeper just sent back the word, according to the market price to raise prices, no way, now the hoarding of grain, is too little, no way, we can only raise the price a little, this is also the law of the market!" ”
The housekeepers were so angry that they were even ready to do it, but at this moment, a few more guys came out of the warehouse, looking at these housekeepers with fierce eyes, the housekeepers had no choice but to stop in the end, but when they went back, they immediately reported the matter to the family.
Although the family usually stands tall and seems to be living a chic life, then again, it has now reached the point where food is most scarce. No matter how precious treasures you have stored in your home, but life is the most important thing, if you can't exchange these money for treasures, then what's the use of these money, so those families also attach great importance to this kind of thing.
Under the joint efforts of the head of a local family, many families walked into a large mansion together, and the owner of the mansion heard that these families were coming, and hurriedly came out to greet them, and his attitude was very low, but these families were very unconvinced, and when everyone sat down, they saw a family snort coldly.
"Fa Xing, you are so bold, why do you want to raise prices? You know, my family of 300 people is now living on surplus food, and there is no way to buy new food from the market, all of which are your doing! ”
However, after hearing this, the merchant named Fa Xing was stunned, but these family families saw that this businessman called Fa Xing was still acting in front of them at this moment, and they were all furious and took the case. What does it mean to question the practice of the Dharma?
In the end, Fa Xing could only helplessly tell these families that he only had to deal with the business of restaurants, and he had never done this kind of business in grain, and if he wanted a result, he still needed to investigate, but he also said that the price of this grain was determined according to the amount of the market, and now, this is the right time for supply to exceed demand, and it is an excellent time to raise prices, even if the merchant raises the price a little, there is nothing wrong with it.
These words of the Fa Xing directly smoked the seven tricks of the main anger of these families, they put down the cruel words and let the Fa Xing wait, they will definitely make the Fa Xing bankrupt, after these families came out, they went directly to the county office, and sued the Fa Xing in court with a complaint.
The Fa Xing all went to the court tremblingly, and the few family members sat on the side and glared angrily, but there were also people gloating, this Fa Xing dared to go against their family, so be prepared to wait for endless severe punishment.
Although these families are very sure of this matter, but after some sorting out, the final verdict of the county order is that the law is not guilty, the reason is very simple, as the law said, now is the time when the supply exceeds demand, even if the law is a little higher than the price is wrong, at most it is the county order, ordering the law to reduce the price a little more, so that everyone feels more fair, and the law is also grateful for the final judgment of the limit, and immediately set out to reduce the price of food after going back.
However, for these punishments of the law, in the eyes of those families, they were all stunned, they didn't seem to figure it out, and they couldn't figure it out even if they were killed, but this time they personally went to the county government to sue, but the county order was hastily closed, and they went to see the county order together one night, but their attitude towards them was abnormal, and they waved their hands directly and closed the door.
And at this moment in Han Sui's mansion, the exquisite bronze finch lamp illuminates the room brightly, Han Sui Cao Xing Ma Teng Ha Duoli, all four of them are sitting here, Han Sui is sitting on the main seat, looking a little anxious, and Cao Xuan next to him did not bother when he saw this scene, took a sip of tea lightly, and said to Han Sui after a while.
"Lord Thorn Shi believes you can also see clearly, the power of merchants is very strong, as long as we are willing to change the way of the world and improve their status, they will speed up the circulation of the market, so that the economy will prosper, as long as the economy is prosperous, as long as the activities of merchants are more frequent, we can also collect more taxes from them, so as to increase the national strength, so as not to kill two birds with one stone!"
However, after hearing this, Han Sui waved his hand and said: "Cao Xing, you can't help but say a little too much, the situation of Shinong Industry and Commerce has been maintained for hundreds of years, how can it be changed overnight, and if you want to keep the situation stable, those big families are indispensable, you want me to uproot them now, is this possible!" ”
However, after hearing this, Cao Xing replied with a smile: "Lord Assassin Shi is wrong, as the so-called poor will change, change will make sense, I do this, not only to change ourselves, but also to seek the well-being of the world, whether to suppress those families fiercely, it all depends on the means and courage of Lord Assassin Shi, but to improve the status of businessmen, I think it is imperative!"
