Chapter 50: The Dumbfounded Family

Strings of Chu coins, in Wang Yan's cuffs, clanged. He no longer knows how many times he has received "bribes".

Watching the boatloads of grain being transported in the direction of the county seat, Wang Yan could only sigh that Xia Huan's strength was great.

The ferry port has been opened lively, and everyone is excited. Everyone knows that when so much grain arrives in Yingshang, it is certain that the price of grain will fall.

Being in the "business capital", this simple truth is known to children.

Cartloads of grain, either horse-drawn or pushed by carts, in short, suddenly looked like a steady stream.

On the ferry, an hour or two passed, and forty or fifty boats stopped. Moreover, the number is constantly increasing, and all of them are carrying grain.

The grain on this alone is enough for the entire Yingshang people to eat for three or four days.

In Yingshang County, Chang Xiujun, who also received Xia Huan's order early, had already stood guard in front of several shops bought by Xia Huan in the city.

People who came and went, in a hurry, all looked at these Chang Xiujun with some curiosity. Even, some people simply stopped and wanted to see what was going on.

From the ferry port to the city, the distance of more than 20 miles, even the carriage, has to be transported for half a day.

Therefore, when the wagons carrying grain poured into the city, the onlookers did not know how many stubbles they had changed.

None of that matters, though. The important thing is that no matter how many people have changed their crops, they have green eyes when they look at these truckloads of grain.

Some of the people who had brought money immediately rushed up, for fear of taking a step at night.

And those who didn't bring money also ran home with their feet scattered.

Not to mention these people, even the sergeants of Changxiu, who got the news in advance, were also dumbfounded.

Looking at the carts of grain, he only thought he was dreaming.

However, fortunately, those centurions came to their senses and scolded their subordinates one by one to maintain order.

In a corner of the county, Xia Huan took Chun Yujing with him, and he was also watching the cart of grain being transported into the shop.

"Fifteen hundred Chu coins per stone of grain! Fifteen hundred Chu coins! In the shops, many of the same red-eyed housekeepers shouted at the top of their voices.

Although the price of 1,500 Chu coins per stone is still ridiculously expensive, there are still people who rush to it.

Because, this price, compared to the rice shops of those families, is a full three hundred Chu coins cheaper.

People who are already afraid of the extreme shortage of food, for fear that after the food is sold, there will be no more, so they do not hesitate to take out the money.

"Fifteen hundred Chu coins, how much better is this than those families!" Chun Yujing, who was watching all this not far away, couldn't help but say angrily.

And Xia Huan on the side smiled indifferently and said, "I didn't say it, this is not a family!" ”

"What! These are the food of the family? Where is the Maison? Could it be that Chen Zhaoming and Yu Meng disappeared a few days ago, just to instigate these families? ”

Chun Yujing's questions, one after another. However, these days, Xia Huan has also gotten used to it.

It seems that in order to supervise herself, this little girl is in her ears almost every day, chattering non-stop. There are even more big truths, and Xia Huan's calm temperament is a little unbearable.

Today, finally, his plan is finally coming true, in order to avoid being offended again, Xia Huan simply took her here directly.

However, I didn't expect that when I came here, it was still noisy.

"What's the hurry, these families have just arrived, and you suddenly lowered the price of food, wouldn't it discourage them. Besides, we don't have to wait for us to descend, it won't be long before someone will help us descend. Why should we sin against anyone? ”

Xia Huan said lightly, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Chun Yujing, who heard it on the side, was stunned.

Price increases, price reductions, nothing more than supply and demand. This truth is known to people who have gone to junior high school in later generations.

Even in this era, the businessmen are also very clean.

Not to mention businessmen, even coolies who have never read a book and can't read are very clear.

The reason why there is such a loot is nothing more than that these people do not know how much food is outside the city.

These days, people who are far away from Yingshang have rarely set foot on this land of Yingshang, and most of those who are close to Yingshang have industries in Yingshang.

Their roots are here, and they don't dare to resist those big-headed families. What's more, they don't need to resist, because they are already all in cahoots. They are also part of this big cake.

In addition, above the court, they can also drag it out, so they have almost no worries at all.

Those families from Nanyang are different, originally it was just because the news was not clear, and they didn't know about it. Now, knowing the market, how can you just let go of an opportunity to make money.

Moreover, most of these families are rooted in Nanyang, and they are some distance away from Shoudu, and the top noble families above the court can't intervene in them at all.

Besides, it's the popular law that doesn't hold the public accountable. Therefore, when transporting grain to Yingshang, all the Nanyang families are not afraid of anything.

As for the so-called plague, no kidding. Once the price of grain is thousands of Chu coins. This is already seven or eight times more than the original profit.

Marx's sentence is that 100 percent profit is enough to trample on the law, and 300 percent profit is enough to risk people's lives.

What's more, this is eight or nine hundred percent of the profit, to be honest, if it can go on for a long time, they will not hesitate to destroy their families.

Sure enough, everything was as Xia Huan expected. The people of the Yingshang family immediately panicked when they learned that a large amount of grain had entered the city.

The family can't take care of the original agreement. Hurriedly ordered the men below to open the door.

And the price, naturally, had to be reduced by them to 1,500 Chu coins per stone.

Not only that, but they also urgently need to know where this batch of food came from, and how much.

I have to say that these families are really in a hurry. Because, there was no wind at all beforehand.

The treasury of the surrounding counties on Yingshang, and even the treasury of the surrounding counties, they all arranged people early. Whenever a large amount of grain enters the Yingshang, they will sell the grain in advance.

However, what they didn't expect was that the food did not come from the surrounding area of Yingshang. Rather, it comes from the upper reaches of Yingshui, Nanyang.

Especially when they learned that on the edge of the ferry, one after another, the boats stopped at the Yingshang ferry, they were even more panicked.

Not only did the closed shops all open their doors, but the prices also dropped to 1,400 Chu coins per stone.

If the price is lowered here, people will naturally flock to it. And those who come from Nanyang, of course, will not just let go, and will also reduce the price accordingly.

By the time it got dark, the price of grain had almost dropped to about 1,000 Chu coins per stone.

All the shops selling rice are like fighting cocks, whether it is Yingshang or Nanyang, as long as they are peers, they will have red eyes.

Fortunately, to the relief of these families, Yingshang has been under a curfew these days. One night, everyone is herded into their homes.

Otherwise, I am afraid that the price of this grain will fall to its normal price in less than two days.

The families who were knocked on the head by Xia Huan can also be seen it. This is the little prince's plan.

In order to deal with this, the families had to initiate a meeting again.

This time, not only the family on Yingshang, but also those from Nanyang were also pulled over.

After all, the representatives of those families spared no effort to transport grain because the main family saw the price here. If the expected cost is not met, I am afraid that it will not be easy for them to go back.
