Act 122 Cotton
Guan Kunyu said with a smile: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the suppression of food prices naturally has nothing to do with promotion, and the rest is naturally for money." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The fourth master chuckled imperceptibly, with a slight contempt in his expression, although it was only a short moment, but it did not escape the eyes of two foxes, one big and one small.
Guan Kunyu continued indifferently: "Generally speaking, it is normal to suppress grain prices when collecting grain, in order to make more money. But this year, the master of your family has done something strange, and he has to suppress the price of grain to such a point at the expense of huge risks. ”
Oh, why don't you believe it? Do you know how much new grain will be collected in Songjiang? If you suppress one more cent of silver per stone, you will have dozens or even millions of taels of income! Isn't that enough!? ”
Guan Kunyu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fourth Master, don't be sloppy with me." It is precisely because the interests are too great that it is absolutely impossible!
It would be somewhat credible if the three major grain merchants joined forces to do such a game, but the master of your family is not a grain merchant after all, and even participating in it has to borrow the hands of the Shi family! Their three major grain merchants are not good men and women, even if someone from the heavenly family wants to take food in their mouths, they have to weigh it, how can they honestly give such a large amount of money to your family, and even secretly add fuel to the fire!?
Therefore, I think that your family and the three major grain merchants should take advantage of this suppression of grain prices to get what they need! Naturally, the three major grain merchants need cheap grain, and the nobles probably need the peasants and land that have gone bankrupt because of this. ”
At this time, the fourth master looked at Guan Kunyu slightly, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tao Zhu Gong is very good at guessing, but aren't you afraid that you will guess wrong if you guess so randomly?" ”
"It's true that I guessed wrong, but I'm not guessing, I'm just telling the truth." Guan Kunyu said, "Our Guan family is also a little connected in the Songjiang area, so it's always okay to inquire a little about things." As for me, I recently heard some news that some mysterious buyers have suddenly appeared in the Songjiang area to buy a large amount of land.
The time is so coincidental, the purchase volume is so large, and the origin of the buyers is quite mysterious, and what is even more strange is that the land taken by these people has not been cleaned up by the three major grain merchants! I even heard that there were three major grain merchants who helped thread the needle!
I think, things are so obvious, the fourth master should not hide it. ”
The fourth master nodded: "Since Xiao Tao Zhu Gong has inquired clearly, then I can only admit it, there is indeed our family's land here, and when I originally prepared this money, it was to buy land after the new grain came down, but I didn't expect such a stall to be on the stall, just right, the selling price is much cheaper." ”
"However, I don't think the real purpose of your family and the people behind your family is to take these fields to grow food! Because in this case, there will inevitably be a conflict with the three major grain merchants, and they will not be kind enough to help you thread the needle! And if you don't want to take the land and grow food......"
Guan Kunyu took a deep breath, the previous events were all the exact information he had decided, although there was no direct evidence, but only indirect evidence was enough to explain a lot of things. And what he was going to say later was completely his own speculation. He didn't dare to say that this guess was 100% correct, but it was the most reliable answer he felt.
"Cotton!"
The fourth master's expression changed suddenly!
Seeing the expression of the fourth master, Guan Kunyu knew that he had guessed correctly this time!
"When I inquired about the sale of land before, I noticed that the land you bought is actually not a good land, at least from the perspective of growing rice, but if it is replaced by cotton, then these lands are quite suitable."
Guan Kunyu had doubts before, but he was not sure, and after seeing the situation of the people behind the fourth master buying land, he could basically confirm it.
This time, the means of suppressing food prices are too tough, the involvement is very large, and there are very many people who have offended, and there are definitely not many forces that have the ability to do this and are not afraid of retaliation! And after excluding the grain merchant group that has been on the sidelines from the very beginning, it seems that there is no reason for other forces to be so angry and resentful just to make the difference in the price of such a batch of new grain! Moreover, they are not a grain merchant group, and they lack corresponding channels, so even if they suppress the price of grain, it is unknown how much silver they can really make at that time.
It's a deal that doesn't outweigh the losses!
Later, after confirming that the real purpose of the other party's suppression of grain prices was to acquire land, and that these lands were very suitable for growing cotton, the matter became clear.
Among the forces that really have the strength to do this series of things, the only ones who can get the greatest benefits in them are the cotton textile group!
The fourth master stared at Guan Kunyu deadly, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Who are you listening to, say!" ”
Guan Kunyu spread his hands: "Fourth master, don't think about it, this is completely my own figure." ”
"It can't be! We are so hidden, how can you know that you are a kid from a hundred households!? Someone must have told you, someone must have been! ”
Guan Kunyu sneered: "Fourth master, it's not nice to say, people are different, you may consciously do it seamlessly, but in my opinion, it is indeed the lice on the bald head, it is clearly the same!" Zhuge Kongming can not go out of the house, and know the three parts of the world. Although I, Guan Kunyu, am not as good as Mr. Wolong, I can still do such a little thing.
Maybe those who are not familiar with popular things, only know the wind and snow, spring planting and autumn harvest, will think that your family and the people behind your family are just some weavers and sellers, but I Guan Kunyu is a layman, the most familiar is this vulgar thing, some things do not need to be asked or said, just need to walk around the street, and everything will be clearly understood.
If you want me to say, within 20 years, this Susonghang area will become the world of weavers! ”
The fourth master still looked incredulous, and pointed at Shi Qirong with a hideous face and shouted: "You kid, don't mess around!" Don't try to fool around! This time the stakes are very high, and we have already agreed to keep it a secret, and even the dead dog over there doesn't know who they are working for! If I find out who leaked the news, I will definitely give him a good look! ”
Guan Kunyu shook his head helplessly, took out a booklet from his arms, and said: "If the fourth master really wants to know the reason, then take a look at this booklet, I can know that the reasons for these things are in it." ”
The fourth master took the booklet suspiciously, and after opening it, he looked stupid at first sight.
