Chapter 134: Do it yourself
Wu Ruyi has been a popular figure in the capital recently, and the victory in the limelight has overshadowed all the people! It seems to be the biggest talking point in the capital today!
Less than ten years old can be in the face of the saint on the Dali Temple calmly and bluntly saved the lives of everyone in Jiafu, so that Jiafu was saved from ruin, and then he was in charge of Jiafu as a childish girl, and the business was getting bigger and bigger, and there were even faint rumors that there was a big man standing behind her!
The preparations for the world's first Oiran have begun, and such grand events have made Wu Ruyi even more famous.
The saint built a new city, it was a business of tens of millions of silver taels, Wu Ruyi was an imperial businessman, and all these purchases were controlled by Wu Ruyi, what a dazzling business.
Her every move is naturally eye-catching, and Wu Ruyi helped Shengshang buy millions of stone grains for the craftsmen and men of Xincheng to eat, and the news that she was robbed by the Dragon King of Huaihe on the Huai River naturally can't hide it from others.
The Dragon King of Huaihe even asked someone to spread the word, this matter is not over yet!
The food of millions of people is undoubtedly the most important thing, if Wu Ruyi can't provide enough food for the people to eat on time, then once the people are provoked, no matter how big the background is, the emperor will not be able to spare her!
There is no business or treachery, not to mention that Wu Ruyi is blocking the way of many people, everyone wants to take this opportunity to bite off a piece of meat on Wu Ruyi's body!
Wu Ruyi can't transport grain from Jiangnan anymore, but they can! Naturally, some people in the interest groups in Jiangnan have connections with the Dragon King of the Huai River, and even the news of Wu Ruyi's transportation of grain was passed on to the Dragon King of the Huai River, and this opportunity was also specially created by them, they had already hoarded a large amount of food in the capital, and naturally they would not give up this opportunity to make a fortune!
For a time, rumors spread that the capital was about to run out of grain, and the price of grain soared, from more than one tael of silver and one stone before, to two taels of silver and one stone in just a few days, and the price increased by nearly double.
And with the confirmation of the news, the price of grain in the capital rose again, many rice merchants have shown their powers, have to transport grain to the capital, every day can see a huge grain transport team to the capital, but the price of grain in the capital is rising.
Merchants in the Ming Dynasty would form various guilds, the purpose of the guilds was to protect the interests of merchants, such as the price of grain in the capital this time, everyone desperately transported grain to the capital and sold grain in limited quantities, and the organizer behind the scenes was the rice shop.
Wu Ruyi looked at the nearly 100 people present in front of him, these are the merchants of the rice shop in the capital, of course they have to do a full set of plays, this time it is Wu Ruyi who used Wang Chengen's power to force many businessmen to come to a gathering to discuss food.
"Please come this time, I can't hide that the younger generation has something to ask for!"
The merchants didn't know what Wu Ruyi had invited them to do today, and no one opened their mouths.
Wu Ruyi was not embarrassed, and continued calmly, "Food is a big deal, the Dragon King of the Huaihe River robbed me of millions of stone grain, cut off my grain channel, and caused a shortage of food in the new city, what kind of consequences will this lead to, I think you are also clear, if you don't sell me food, if you want to take the opportunity to cut meat from me, then I have nothing to say, after all, shopping malls are like battlefields."
However, you are all merchants of my Ming Dynasty, not to mention taking the opportunity to raise prices for your own selfish interests, but instead uniting all rice shops to stop selling grain to the people, so that the capital can not buy food even if you have money, and some people are starving because of this, won't you have a disturbed conscience after earning this silver? ”
Wu Ruyi's thought-provoking words attracted a soft ridicule from all the businessmen, but considering Wu Ruyi's background, no one would refute her in front of this bird, but they were laughing at her naivety in their hearts!
The Holy Lord has already ordered Jing Zhaoyi to sell the grain in the capital at a limited price! Do you want to disobey the holy commandment? Wu Ruyi asked again.
"Miss Lin is serious! Of course we don't dare, and we also agree with the grain price limit, but we don't have any food in our rice store now, and there is no grain to sell! Aren't we transporting grain to the capital? Wait a while for food to sell! President Yan prevaricated with a chuckle.
Wu Ruyi didn't pay attention to President Yan's words at all, and asked directly, "At what price are you going to sell grain to me?" ”
"Miss Lin laughed, it's not that we don't sell food to you, but we don't have food to sell!" President Yan was very old-fashioned and did not leave a handle for Wu Ruyi.
"Three, two, one stone!" Wu Ruyi stretched out three fingers.
Everyone was shocked, now the price of grain on the market is only two taels and one stone, and the grain is very important, and doubling it has already aroused the emperor's attention, and now Wu Ruyi's price of three taels and one stone has already made many businessmen excited, but seeing that President Yan and a group of big businessmen with deep backgrounds are sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, everyone is patient and waiting to see the development of the situation.
"Humph!" Wu Ruyi snorted lightly and continued, "Five taels and one stone!" ”
"What five taels!"
"Kill five taels with one stone!"
Already businessmen have exclaimed, five times the profit, is enough to make people crazy.
Even President Yan couldn't help but be moved!
"Still not satisfied?" Wu Ru looked at everyone's ugliness, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he teased, "Those ten taels and one stones, do you sell them or not?" ”
President Yan couldn't help but gasp, "Miss Lin, is this true?" ”
Daming has faint signs of troubled times, and food prices have begun to rise, but this is at the feet of the emperor in the capital, even the most crazy pursuit of interests of them, they dare not go too far, the emperor's knife is not soft, Jinyi Wei can deal with the big people behind them, maybe there are scruples, but the group of businessmen who arrested them can't even say a word, and they are killed and have no place to redress their grievances.
In fact, the price of the grain they negotiated at the beginning was six taels of silver and one stone.
And it was ten days later, and it would definitely have caused turmoil in the capital by then, and they could make a fortune on the people of the capital while selling grain.
This time is not long, and with the combined power of the big men behind them, they can completely suppress it.
But Wu Ruyi directly offered a sky-high price of ten taels, but it made everyone's hearts moved! If they can directly sell grain to Wu Ruyi at the price of ten taels, then they don't have to take such a big risk and continue to raise the price of grain in the capital, and the current price of two taels and one stone is enough for them to be satisfied!
"President Yan, are you stupid or am I stupid?" Wu Ruyi mocked in front of him.
A trace of anger flashed on President Yan's face, and he had to endure it, "Miss Lin, what do you mean by this?" Don't you look down on me, the capital rice line can't wait for me to find fun? ”
"Yes, the concubine body is just not pleasing to the eye! Today, the concubine will put her words here, buy grain with one tael and one stone, and reduce one penny of silver every day, whether you like to sell or not, don't come to me when the time comes! ”
Hearing Wu Ruyi's almost threatening words, President Yan and a group of businessmen showed disdain, they could say such childish words, it seems that this Lin girl is not as magical as rumored, and she really doesn't live up to her name.
They are not afraid of Wu Ruyi's threat, although Wang Chengen is a big eunuch and a celebrity in front of the emperor, the strength behind them is also not small, otherwise they would not dare to openly disobey the emperor's will, and they insisted on not selling her grain, and took the opportunity to raise the price of grain in the capital.
"Wait for yourself! The concubine is waiting in Jiafu to come to the door to beg! Wu Ruyi threw down a sentence almost arrogantly and turned to leave.
