Chapter Twenty-Six: The Spark of the Stars, the Momentum of the Prairie Fire (1)
After all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is no serious famine, but the price of grain is already ridiculously high, and more importantly, almost all the grain shops are without grain to sell. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that in the eyes of those grain merchants, it is hateful, and the eyelids of the other party break the rules, and they make a lot of money. Naturally, he was angry and anxious, and soon someone passed on the news of Hong Ji, and it was the next day in Yan Fan's ears.
"Bastard, is his Li family crazy!" Rosewood's bookcase was sonorously slapped by him.
A few shopkeepers didn't dare to make a sound, "Go, let them close the door, and I will come back from what I sold!" "Hong Ji is the Li family's business, this is no secret, in the past, all the perfumes, soap and other novelties were sold, but there was no competition, and Li Huai's identity as an internal guard was not provoked, but now Hong Ji actually sells grain, or sells it at a low price, which is the enemy of most of the magnates in Beijing.
Yan Fan also had a tacit understanding with Li Huai because of Tian Hu's matter, so he also took care of Hong Ji, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly stab him, and it was under his nose.
Yan Fan's words were soon spread out, and the Li family was pushed to the forefront, several clan relatives and uncles came to the door one after another, or persuaded or argued, two or three days made Li Caier overwhelmed, she had never seen such a battle, Hong Ji sold grain, she mentioned it for two days, and she didn't object, but she felt that it was better to open a porridge shop and soup porridge directly, but Li Huaixin said absolutely, and it was Li Huai's shop, and she couldn't intervene, but the trouble after that did find herself.
Is it okay for these clan relatives to say, on weekdays, they need to rely on the power of the General's Mansion, so it is not good to say too harshly, make a noise, Li Caier comforts a little, or makes up for it, and it will pass, but it is really difficult for the Liu family to deal with it.
The Liu family is no one else, it is Liu Sihan, now she has fully taken over the family business, Yan Fan directly asked people to send her a letter, and the Liu family also invested heavily in the grain business this time, so her attitude is also resolute.
"Business is not like this, he is a concubine, he comes here to stir up the situation indiscriminately, this is to smash people's jobs and cut off the way of life, how can you not care?" Liu Sihan looked angry, and picked up the tea cup in front of him, "Hey...... If you have money here, just tell me, can you sell grain? ”
"My sister said and laughed, although the Li family is not in business, but there is still money for eating, Li Huai did it a little suddenly this time, but I don't think there is anything, but I sold some food, and it was rationed every day, at most half a day, and there would be no more after it was sold, so it would not be to grab a job and cut off the way of life." It was also the first time for Li Caier to talk to the other party like this, and she always had a smile on her face.
Liu Sihan frowned slightly, "I won't hide it from you, the price of this grain has reached such a point, several big clans have participated, everyone is holding back and not daring to ship, how many people are selling it, how many people are looking red, and how many people are cursing behind their backs?" They naturally don't dare to come to the General's Mansion to spread wild, but the people related to your Li family, they will naturally use it to vent their anger, the Liu family's business is not easy to do today, and I will overwhelm the people in the two rooms, if you come here again, how can I be good? Liu Sihan said, her face was full of sorrow, and she almost shed tears, Li Caier knew a little about the affairs of the Liu family, and then looked at the appearance in front of her, and felt uncomfortable.
"Sister, you have earned enough, the people of Shangjing, but you have to eat and sell some ......" Before she finished speaking, Liu Sihan threw the tea cup in her hand on the case, and all parties did give her a lot of pressure for a few days, Yan Fan even left cruel words, she listened to the other party's words, and her heart suddenly became angry.
"I don't care if they eat or not, this is the way of the world, things that the prince can't control, you want to worry?! Thou art a woman's kindness! Liu Sihan glared at the other party angrily, and only reacted after a while, his words were a little heavy, "Sister, don't be angry, I'm just worried, you were deceived by that concubine, this is the opportunity, I will let them all stand on your side, you and your uncle, you are still in charge of the Li family's business." ”
Li Cai'er's eyes froze, and the smile on her face disappeared without a trace, "Sister...... Now that the Li family's business is in charge of him, I have no intention of interfering anymore, no matter how much you say to me, it is unintentional, besides, the only fault of what he did, in my opinion, is that he did not sell it cheaper. Li Cai'er still smiled slightly on her face, turned around and stopped caring about Liu Sihan on the side, the other party obviously didn't expect to be ignored, her face was ugly, and seeing Li Cai'er walking away, she pushed the tea cup on the table to the ground.
"You deserve to be ridden on his head! You are only worthy of having a baby at home......" In the living room, Liu Sihan's swearing gradually disappeared, and Li Caier's originally restrained and wise sister was completely shattered at this moment, and she was angry for a while, until she reached her own study, and tears fell on her face.
"Miss, are you crying?" The maid at the door walked in cautiously, her name was Xue'er, and she was Shuang'er's sister in the countryside.
Li Cai'er calmed down a little, "Xue'er, you go get a pen and paper." ”
In the study, Li Caier wrote down the recent events one by one, and the envelope said that the third brother opened it personally, and let people send it out.
On the second day, Hong Ji was still selling grain, the only difference was that the quantity was double that of yesterday, and the price fell by one percent, which made countless people either happy or angry.
In the next few days, there were always people queuing up early at the door of Hong Ji, and although they sold a lot every day, they bought all the changes, and the people after that could only return disappointed.
In the teahouse not far from Hong Ji Shop, there are also a few young people who look at the scene of queuing here to buy grain every day, "This Li family also doesn't know what to do, oil and salt don't enter, I want to see how much grain they have!" ”
The few people who spoke were the sons of several grain merchants in Beijing, since they couldn't be persuaded, then they all bought it, what they had in their hands was silver, and Hong Ji didn't sell much every day, so he naturally had this confidence, and after a few days, he felt that the other party was funny, and a few people sat down together to drink, and called two Qingqi people.
As soon as he drank a few sips, the family downstairs hurriedly knocked them open, "Childe is not good, the people who went to buy grain in the morning seem to have been recognized, and now they have been beaten!" ”
"What!" Several people were shocked, they sent over were all family members, and the people who went there every day were different, just to be recognized, "How is it possible!" It's all a bunch of rubbish! ”
"Young master, the most terrible thing is that a few of them are not strict and have confessed to the owner, and now those Diao people are about to smash the shop!" The people who said it looked scared, and several young people were even more cold, knowing that the matter was big, and if it really provoked a popular uprising, they would naturally not be able to eat and walk around.
