Chapter Twenty-Five: Food! Grain! Grain! (b)

A few days later, Xun You finally came back with rice grain, as soon as the news came out, the big families in the city were a little panicked, how could it be so fast?

They did not give up, and they sent people to the gate of the city to investigate, but they saw one grain cart after another, and they could not see the end from sight.

Xun You saw Jiang Zhe standing at the gate of the city from a distance, a slight smile appeared on his face, and when he got closer, Xun You arched his hand and said, "Lord Qiqi!" I lived up to expectations and came with 2,000 stones of rice and grain! ”

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers near the city gate were amazed, followed by a burst of cheers, and only a few had strange expressions.

Blinking at Xun You, Jiang Zhe said sharply, "Two thousand stones? Don't talk about it! ”

"Don't dare!" How could Xun You not understand Jiang Zhe's mind? Bowing his hand, Zhengse said, "It's just a huge amount, I'm afraid that it won't be finished, and I'm afraid that there will be some accidents on the way, so I'm thinking about transporting two hundred stones, coming one after another, and ten days can be transported!" ”

"Oh!" Jiang Zhe looked like he had suddenly realized, and secretly praised Xun You, "Since this is the case, let's transport the grain of today's day first!" ”

Xun Yu responded, and secretly gave Jiang Zhe a look to see the show.

The people near the city gate gave way to the road and let the grain carts slowly enter, and suddenly, the wheels of one of the grain carts were broken, and suddenly the grain carts fell to the ground, and the bamboo baskets containing the grain in them rolled out, and with a bang, the grain that had not been shelled was scattered all over the ground.

"Ah......h

"High!" Jiang Zhe finally understood what Xun Yu meant by watching the show, and secretly gave him a thumbs up, then his face changed, and he shouted, "Wait back!" ”

The Cao soldiers, who were guarding the city gate, heard the sound and stopped the people.

Xun You hurried over, and said to the soldier who was driving, "How can you be so careless?" ”

"This ......" Cao Bing's face was depressed, and he defended, "It's not a trivial matter, it's ......"

"Hugh has to quibble!" Xun Yu shouted.

Get! You're also an actor! Jiang Zhe stepped forward and grabbed Xun You and said, "Forget it, I can't control him, I'm afraid that the rice grain is too heavy and crushes the grain cart, so let's quickly clean up and escort the rice grain to the granary!" ”

Xun You hesitated for a moment, but said to Cao Bing, "Since Jiang Changshi said it, you will spare you...... What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and clean up? ”

"Yes!" The soldier lowered his head and hurriedly put the grain on the ground back into the bamboo basket, Jiang Zhe called a few more soldiers to help, watching them carry a lot of the grain into the bamboo basket, and the people nearby looked blushing.

"What? Then Xun You came back with two thousand stone of grain? The head of the Xuchang family was dumbfounded when he heard the news.

"Yes!" The subordinate who went to inspect the city gate hurriedly said, "He said that he would transport 200 stones for 10 days......

"Ten days...... Look at ...... again."

This is the case for several days in a row, every morning the grain truck arrives in Xuchang, and then the empty car returns, some people who are interested also look at the wheel traces on the ground, but their faces are getting worse and worse.

The bold also took advantage of the city gate [***] to pick up, stepped forward to ask and looked inside the grain cart, only to see that the bamboo baskets in the grain cart were all unhulled grains, so he had to go back to tell his family master in frustration.

The price of grain in Xuchang has dropped again and again, and it has dropped to the price of 250,000 yuan a stone, oh, this is Jiang Zhe's price, but Jiang Zhe's price of selling grain to the people in the city!

Suddenly, the people of Xuchang rushed to buy it, and they bought nearly 200 stones in just two days.

At this moment, those families who hoarded a large amount of grain panicked, and the government began to sell grain, and they also sold nearly 200 stones, how can this be fake?

Hurriedly pressed the price of its grain store again and again, to the same price as Jiang Zhe's price.

It's always okay now, right? Those big families thought in their hearts, if you sell it for 250,000 yuan a stone, I will sell it for this price!

Who knew that some rumors suddenly spread in the city, saying that the price of grain would rise sharply because of the hoarding of grain by the big families in the city.

Those families have no choice, they can't let those grains rot in the warehouse, right? How can they compare with the fact that all they have hoarded is old grain, and the grain that the government has purchased from nowhere is new grain, or even grain that has not been hulled?

The family had to drop again, 240,000 yuan a stone! It's a whole 10,000 yuan lower than the price of the government, so the people think about it, it's better to buy cheaper, hate and hate, it's always good to save some money!

In this way, some of the grain hoarded by those families was sold, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and Jiang Zhe ordered the price to be lowered, 230,000 yuan a stone!

Some families who saw the situation clearly had already prepared, and as soon as Jiang Zhe changed the price, they also changed it, and it was 10,000 yuan cheaper than Jiang Zhe's.

At this time, Jiang Zhe stabilized this price for two days, and the families speculated that this price was close to the price of grain purchased by the government, and his heart settled down slightly.

Two days later, Jiang Zhe lowered the price of grain again, 220,000 yuan a stone! The price is the same as that of the Maisons.

At this time, the families were very determined, and it seemed that this price was the price of grain purchased by the government, so they lowered it by another 10,000 yuan and sold it at a price of 210,000 yuan.

Slowly, more and more people went to the family's grain stores to buy grain, and fewer and fewer people went to the government to buy grain, and gradually, the government stopped selling grain.

And those families, although they only earned 10,000 or 20,000 yuan per stone, but it was better to rot those rice grains in the warehouse, right?

Behold......

The Council Hall of the Assassin's Mansion!

"Hahaha!" Xun You laughed heartily and said, "Righteousness, ending the ground is a good strategy!" It's better to do it! ”

"Come less!" Jiang Zhe saw that this guy was about to start making fun of himself again, and hurriedly said, "Gongda, the one at your city gate is something you never thought of, high!" ”

"Huh!" Xun You said with a smile, "It's Zhongde's letter and You, the above plan!" ”

"Oh?" Jiang Zhe looked at Cheng Yu in surprise, and then said strangely, "There is one thing that Zhe can't figure out, the one in front of the grain that broke the wheel was arranged by you and others, and all the new grain was used, so what about the future?" Zheya heard that the families in the city went to the city gate every day to test, and even peeked inside the grain cart, how did they get so many new grains? ”

"Righteousness is sincerity!" Xun You shook his head and smiled, "Every morning the grain cart arrives to transport grain, and the empty cart that goes back is not the original one, it's just a trick!" Stay until the dead of night, take advantage of the curfew, and then take the opportunity of the curfew, and then transport those carts full of food out again, and come back the next day, and so on! As for the grain in the car, all the lower ones are old grains, and only the upper layer is the newly purchased grain, alas! After half a month, he only bought more than 100 stones of grain! If there is no righteousness and virtue, Xu Chang is afraid that it will be...... Alas! This time it's all up to two of you! ”

Cheng Yu smiled slightly, and said, "It's just a plan to complete the righteousness, what credit is there, but the plan behind the righteousness, we can't think of it......"

"Ask the newly surrendered soldiers in Qingzhou to pretend to be civilians and go to us to buy food, and return it at night?" Li Ru shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Shouyi, you are not afraid of them leaking!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Jiang Zhe blinked slyly and said, "I told him that the participants will be exempted from paying taxes for their families for one year!" ”

"Huh?" The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then Cheng Yu muttered, "Fortunately, there are only thousands...... If it were all, this year's tax revenue would not be ......."

"yes!" Xun You also frowned and said, "Shouyi, you promised them ten taxes and one tax earlier, and promised them that if they open up wasteland, they will be exempted from taxes for two years, which is ...... There is such a shortage of food in Yanzhou! Today I can barely hold on, but what about next year? Ten taxes and one, this is too low! ”

Li Ru thought for a while and said, "Under Yuan Benchu's rule, it seems that there are ten taxes and three ......."

Jiang Zhe shook his head and said, "According to the people's individual households, I can't get much food for a while, and when Meng De returns, I am going to reorganize the army and divide it into a regular army and a reserve army......"

"Jiang Shouyi! Come out with the old man! ”

"Huh?" Jiang Zhe looked out of the door stunned, only to see Qiao Xuan standing proudly at the door.

What is this old man doing? Jiang Zhe showed a strange expression and said, "Yo, Gong Qiao, you look good today!" ”

"That's nature...... Bah! Is the old man looking good today? Qiao Xuan walked in with a stiff face, frowned and looked Jiang Zhe up and down, this bastard boy seems to be thick and leafy, but his ability in his chest is not small!

"Ahem!" Jiang Zhe coughed, pointed to the ground and said, "Duke Qiao, this is the place where the Assassin's Mansion discusses government affairs......

"Hey!" Qiao Xuan was angry, pointed at Jiang Zhe and said, "Jiang boy, you are not arrogant, the old man has also been to the Golden Palace!" Can't come here? ”

"Good, good!" Jiang Zhe nodded, and said to Xun You and the other three, "That's the end of today, and I'll explain in detail later!" ”

This kid! Qiao Xuan glared at Jiang Zhe, and suddenly said, "Boy Jiang, the old man has recently helped you, how can you repay the old man?" ”

"Help me?" Jiang Zhe suddenly felt inexplicable.

"Humph!" Qiao Xuan sneered and said, "Do you really think that 'hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, stealing the sky for change' really deceived those families to lower the price of grain?" ”

Jiang Zhe's face remained unchanged, but Xun You and the others glanced at each other in some surprise.

"Wait for the juniors! It's too underestimating the world's characters! Qiao Xuan smiled coldly, "When you wait for the plan to reach the seventh day, those families will see the flaw!" If it weren't for the old man, he would have looked at the old man's old face, and the price of grain would be like this? ”

But after all, Qiao Xuan was a little impressed by Jiang Zhe's behavior.

See through it? Jiang Zhe finally came back to his senses, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no flaw in any place......

"Hey!" Qiao Xuan said in a deep voice, "Although this year is not a great famine, but the scourge of the Yellow Turban is still there, and the people are all displaced. Ha ha! Funny! ”

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu's faces suddenly turned red, yes, most of the states and counties near Yanzhou are in war, where did so many new valleys come from?

Jiang Zhe was still thick-skinned, and he didn't have an embarrassed expression at all, and looked at Qiao Xuan and said in a daze, "Okay, old man, you have some ability......"

"You!" Qiao Xuan was about to get angry, but suddenly found that Jiang Zhe's expression didn't seem to be teasing, and even had some admiration, and suddenly his heart was happy, it was in vain that the old man was running around!

"Before the old man resigned, he served as Dahonglu, Sikong, and Situ ......" deliberately dragged on the word Situ, and sure enough, when he saw Jiang Zhe's face surprised, his heart was even more happy, and even his impression of Jiang Zhe was a little better, "For these shallow plans, the old man can naturally see clearly!" What do you think? Do you want to worship the old man as a teacher, the old man will teach you a body of knowledge! ”

Xun You and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, looking at Jiang Zhe with some envy in their eyes, Qiao Gong is a man of the world......

"If it weren't for the old man's old colleagues, Situ Wang Yun and Cai Zhonglang, the old man would be ......"

Worship you as a teacher? Jiang Zhe's face was strange, looking at this old man, he knew that he was the same as his uncle, he was old and stubborn, I had enough of it!

"Still don't have to!" Jiang Zhe hurriedly shook his head.

"What?" Qiao Xuan's eyes widened, only the old man refused others, but now this kid actually rejected the old man? No way! Be sure to take him and give him some color!

Merry Christmas to all! Go out for a walk more, maybe you can get your favorite mm...... It's a pity I don't have a chance...... It doesn't count here!
