Chapter 1290 - Life is like a year
Everyone looked at Liang Yujie's solemn expression and laughed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Gao Jianguo said with a smile: "The news has been transmitted from the front, those small grain merchants can't bear it, some people have already run to our grain sales point to cry, as long as we hold on, it is estimated that the situation will soon develop in our favor." ā
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several people walk in from outside. At the head were the three major spy chiefs of the Ministry of Intelligence, followed by several staff members of the Ministry of Intelligence.
When Billy Zhou saw Li Ming and them, he walked up and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, all the leaders are ......"
Wang He pointed at Zhou Billy, and then said to everyone: "I guess Lao Zhou also smells something, haha......"
"Lao Zhou, did your intelligence department bring good news......
Zhou Billy listened, nodded and said: "According to the news from the intelligence stations of the Ministry of Intelligence in various places, some small grain merchants in various regions are about to be unable to stand up, and I am here to discuss the next move with Director Liang." ā
Li Ming thought for a moment and said, "Does your intelligence department have any new plans?" ā
Billy Zhou found a chair and sat down, and said lightly: "It's not a new plan, I discussed it with Lao Qian and Xinghao before, in order to cooperate with the actions of the emergency working group of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Intelligence has also deployed forces in various places to prepare to launch an operation."
The specific plan is to mobilize all the forces of the intelligence department to disseminate and distribute various news that is beneficial to the company in various places. The contents of all kinds of news were jointly researched and formulated by us with the company's Propaganda and Education Department and the Political Department of the Military Commission, which was extremely inflammatory.
The main purpose is to intensify the tension of grain merchants in various places, and we have also won the support of a number of small and medium-sized grain merchants through various means, and they will cooperate with the company's action at the right time. ā
Liang Yujie listened to everyone's words, and her face suddenly became excited.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the conditions are now ripe for the implementation of the second phase of the plan. I propose that the implementation of the second phase of the program ......" be started"
Gao Jianguo glanced at Li Ming and Wang He, and then said in a deep voice: "Xiao Liang, this plan was proposed by you, and now it will be commanded by you personally, and all departments of the company will greatly assist you, let it go......"
The next day, all kinds of gossip spread in various regions of the Central Plains, mainly about the various deeds of the Far East in recent years. What bloodshed Liaodong, swept the grasslands, occupied Japan and South Korea, recovered the South Seas, captured Central and South China, swept India, leveled the Western Regions, and so on.
There are also people who have made up all kinds of playbooks, nursery rhymes and scripts, so they spread very quickly among the people. In addition, the Ministry of Intelligence has also trained a large number of storytellers, begging people called Hanako, and other people of all colors, etc., to carry out large-scale propaganda in various places.
It also let the people fully understand the Chinese country that entered the Central Plains, it turned out to be so powerful, they have expanded their territory over the years, and they have actually laid a territory several times larger than that of the Ming Dynasty, no wonder people are so generous, they can transport grain from other places casually.
Immediately after that, all kinds of other news were also spreading, and thousands of large ships loaded with grain came to the Central Plains every day, all of which were transported from overseas, and each of those large ships had tens of thousands of materials. In addition, there are countless flatbed boats carrying grain in the nearby river, and there are so many boats that you can't see the edge at a glance.
All kinds of news spread like a virus, which also made grain merchants in the Central Plains anxious. Those small and medium-sized grain merchants are even more mournful, and they have fallen into a desperate situation.
Then there were some grain merchants from all over the country who drove horse-drawn carts full of grain to various grain sales points in the Far East, kneeling down and begging the Far East to buy their grain stocks.
The grain sales points in various localities reported the situation to the company, and then they also received an order, that is, to collect as much grain from the grain merchants as they could at a standard lower than the company's grain sale price, and to trade in cash and silver, without delaying or owing.
The grain merchants who were the first to pull grain to the grain sales points in the Far East were actually controlled by the Far East Intelligence Department. But they did take the lead in breaking the deadlock, so that small and medium-sized grain merchants everywhere suddenly saw hope.
Now only China has the strength to collect grain, and if we can really sell them grain, at least our losses can be minimized. As a result, small grain merchants from all over the Central Plains took the lead in taking action, and they transported their hoarded grain to the grain sales points of the Far East Company, kneeling down and begging the Far East to buy their grain.
Although this also caused these small grain merchants to lose a lot, fortunately, they were able to recover some silver, and the Far Eastern Company was also more generous when it received grain, not only did it not deduct and kick the phenomenon, but when it was finally settled, all the "flower silver" was paid.
The fact that small grain merchants in various localities began to sell grain to the Far East also became the last straw that overwhelmed all grain merchants, and then the small and medium-sized grain merchants in various localities, and even some large grain merchants, began to sell to the Far East the grain they had hoarded for many years, for fear that the grain would eventually rot in their hands.
As grain merchants from all over the country flocked to the country, the Far East posted another notice, that is, to lower the price of grain again and limit the amount of grain to be harvested per day.
Now even those big grain merchants who have been holding themselves up can't stand it, although they know in their hearts that this is definitely a trick played by the Far East, but they don't have the slightest way, knowing that the general trend has gone.
As soon as this news came out, grain merchants everywhere panicked, especially those small and medium-sized grain merchants who had not yet sold grain, and all of them went crazy and gathered people to transport their hoarded grain to the grain sales points in the Far East.
In the next few days, there were long convoys of vehicles outside the Far East grain sales points in various parts of the Central Plains, especially in major cities, which had seriously affected the traffic order in the city.
In view of this situation, the company decided to establish a large number of grain collection points in various places after research. Select a number of convenient locations dedicated to food collection operations.
As a result, there are long convoys lining up in the suburbs of cities, river wharves, and storage centers in various parts of the Central Plains, and every carriage and trolley is full of grain.
The Far Eastern grain collection points only accept a certain amount of grain every day, and the price of the grain collected has dropped again and again, so that those grain merchants can only stay there every day, for fear that the Far East will not collect grain. They eat and sleep here every day, living every day in fear, and it can be said that they live like a year.
After the operation of the Far Eastern Company, the most worthless thing in the Central Plains may now be grain. The common people of the Central Plains are convinced of one thing, that is, the territory of China is several times larger than that of the original Ming Dynasty, and there is no shortage of food at all.
Moreover, there is also news that the Chinese state occupies all parts of the South Seas and cultivates fields in large quantities, where the climate is hot, the land can be cultivated all year round, and three crops of grain can be harvested every year, and there will be no drought at all, and the wind and rain will be good every year.
