In the following days, Guan Zhong and Feng Ji paid intensive respects to Xianyang's Xun Qiguan, giant businessmen and wealthy families.

Guan Zhong and Feng Ji's abnormal behavior attracted the attention of Hei Bingtai, and they immediately reported to Chen Ping, but Chen Ping did not arouse alarm, sometimes people's mindset can really kill people, Chen Ping thought that Guan Zhong and Feng Ji came to Guanzhong to sell grain, and he didn't believe that they would buy it in turn.

Moreover, he saw Guan Zhong and Feng Ji walking around the mansions of the major grain hoarders, families, wealthy families, and merchants, but they never saw any movement from each family, Chen Ping was even more sure of his own half-ass, thinking that this was just a small trick played by the two major grain merchants and the hoarding merchants in Guanzhong, and its purpose was not to raise the price of grain?

However, out of caution, Chen Ping still passed the news to Bai Mo.

Bai Mo's half-break was completely consistent with Chen Ping's, and it did not arouse alarm.

In fact, this is not to blame Bai Mo and Chen Ping for being careless, because for the ancients at this time, economic warfare was a completely unknown field, and common sense, which seemed very simple to later generations, was likely to be unknown in this era.

You must know that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the so-called war was actually just a game between nobles, and there was even a matter of saluting first and then fighting on the battlefield, until entering the Warring States Period, war really became a means of fighting for hegemony, and then there was the advent of Sun Tzu's Art of War, a collection of military works, and then there was the birth of Wu Qi, Sun Yan and other great soldiers.

Therefore, it is completely reasonable for Bai Mo and Chen Ping to know only a little about economic warfare.

However, only five days later, a huge fleet of ships sailed up the Weishui River to Xianyang.

Tens of thousands of five-baht coins arrived in Xianyang with this fleet, and then Xianyang's relatives and nobles, giant businessmen and wealthy families organized cattle and horse carts one after another, and the well began to transport grain to the wharf in a steady stream.

Chen Ping saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly sent the Imperial Forest Army to set up a card in Weishui, intercepted the fleet, and hurriedly sent the flying horse to Longxi to report to Baimo.

When Bai Mo heard the news, he hurriedly canceled his trip to inspect Longxi, and rushed back by fast horse day and night.

Back in Xianyang, Bai Mo didn't even bother to return to Xiangfu, so he followed Chen Ping straight to Sanjiangkou Water Village.

Xianyang City is located between Jingshui and Weishui, north and south of the river, directly to Jingshui, Weishui as the moat, the east and west are dug trenches, diversion of Jingshui backflow to form an artificial moat, and there are two water gates for access, the Chu State Navy is strong, in order to resist the Chu State Water Army, the Han State has set up more than a dozen barrage water villages in the river and Weishui, the Sanjiangkou Water Village is one of them, and it is the last water barrier to protect Xianyang.

While urging the horse to gallop, Bai Mo asked Chen Ping, "Taishi, has the origin of this fleet been verified?" ”

It is impossible for Bai Mo not to wonder, does this fleet have the background of the Chu State? Guan Zhong and Feng Ji, as grain merchants of Zhao and South Korea, it is understandable to sell grain, but it is incomprehensible to buy grain in large quantities, Zhao and South Korea had a bumper harvest of grain last autumn, and there was no shortage of grain at all, why did they buy so much grain and go back? Is it moldy or what?

However, it is the evil neighbor Chu State in the south, because the relocation of the capital is causing a food shortage.

Of course, Chen Ping knew what Bai Mo was suspicious, and he had already asked Hei Bingtai to investigate, but the results of the verification were not what he thought, so he immediately replied to Bai Mo: "Prime Minister, the old man has already asked Hei Bingtai to secretly check, this fleet is from the Pu team, and it is indeed the Feng family's fleet." ”

..., "That's weird. Bai Mo frowned and said, "Why did the Feng family buy so much grain?" ”

"For sake brewing." Chen Ping said in a deep voice, "According to the Feng family, they have already obtained the craft of brewing liquor. ”

"And this?" Bai Mo was stunned and said, "The Chu State has extremely strict protection of the liquor brewing process, and the Black Ice Platform has spent a lot of money but has not been able to get it, but the Feng family can get it?" Is this possible? ”

Chen Ping said in a deep voice: "The old man has already asked the Black Ice Platform to investigate. ”

After a pause, Chen Ping said again: "Let's not talk about this first, the grain of each family has been bought short by the Feng and Guan families, and now there are 100,000 yuan empty in the treasury of Xianyang, but there is not a grain of grain in Taicang, and the grain horses borrowed from Han and Zhao are about to reach the deadline, and there will be no food by then, what should I do?" ”

Bai Mo asked in disbelief: "The grain that each family has eaten is enough for 2.5 million stones, and the food is sold?" ”

"That's right, they're all sold out." Chen Ping nodded and said in a deep voice, "Let Feng and Guan eat it." ”

Bai Mo's face suddenly became a little gloomy, Feng and Guan would pick a time to reach out, they had worked hard for several months, but let them pick up a falling peach, and said in an unkind tone at the moment: "Even if you make wine, you don't need so much food, right?" In doing so, their appearance is inevitably too ugly, right? ”

Chen Ping said with some concern: "Prime Minister, should you go...

Chen Ping is really worried that Bai Mo will take coercive measures in a hurry, and he needs to know that the grain of the Guan and Feng families has the official background of Zhao and South Korea, especially that Feng Ji, who is the brother of the favorite concubine of the Han King, if he uses force, it will inevitably hurt the harmony between the Han State and Han and Zhao, and once it leads to the collapse of the Lianheng Alliance, it will be worth the loss.

"Don't worry, this master, his true appearance is not so unwise." Bai Mo waved his hand, and then said, "But they can't do things too much, even if they don't do anything, they have to spit out the integer of two million stones, otherwise, Benxiang can only go to King Han and King Zhao to ask for the law." ”

Wells, wells, wells, wells...

Xianyang, Sima Mansion.

As soon as Sima Zhong entered the door, Sima Ji said with schadenfreude: "Second brother, have you just listened, Chen Ping sent the Imperial Forest Army to detain the Feng family's grain convoy at the mouth of the Sanjiang River." ”

For the Feng and Guan families who took advantage of the fire to rob, Sima Ji did not have any good feelings.

Because the Feng and Guan families made the grain spine too low, eighty yuan per stone was simply the price of vomiting blood, and after selling the accounts, the funds obtained were not even enough to redeem the land that had been mortgaged before, and as for the tens of thousands of gold borrowed from Ebony Cliff secretly, there was no way to pay it back.

Moreover, they are not the only ones who are losing, and the situation of all the families involved in the food hegemony is similar.

But then Ni came back, although the Feng Guan family was black, they just wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and get some benefits, unlike Bai Mo, who simply wanted their lives.

Sima Zhong gritted his teeth with the same hatred for Feng Guan and the two families, so he said: "It's better to buckle it, just let them bite it." ”

"Big brother, this time we really hurt our vitality, the land and real estate have shrunk by more than half, and we owe 10,000 taels of gold to Ebony Cliff, you say, it was a good thing, why did it end up like this? I can't figure it out, my little brother can't figure it out. Sima Ji clapped his hands and smiled wryly.

Sima Zhong said bitterly: "You don't know, how can you know if you are a brother?" ”

Well well, well

Not to mention the Sima brothers, and then to regulate Baimo, at this time he has already begun to negotiate with Feng Ji and Guan Zhong.

"What?! Two thousand dollars per stone?! Zhou Guanfu, who was accompanying him, slapped the table and yelled, "Two, Ben Hou heard it right, right? You need to know that the highest price of grain in Xianyang was only 1,000 yuan per stone, you guys are good, one guy raised the price of grain to 2,000 yuan per stone, what do you want to do? Why don't you grab it, amine? ”…,

Zhou Guanfu was so angry that he put on a posture of drawing his sword and slashing people, which was really scary.

"Champion Hou, if you have something to say, don't be angry, don't be angry." Feng Ji smiled.

Guan Zhong also smiled again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, harmony makes money, harmony makes money, hehe." ”

Bai Mo watched coldly, knowing that the two of them were not scared of Zhou Guanfu at all, and said in a dark voice at the moment: "Two, Benxiang doesn't want to play the trick of a businessman with you, what kind of sky-high price, sitting on the ground to bargain, Benxiang doesn't have that idle effort, just go straight, the integer of two million stones will never let it, so it's your bottom price, right?" ”

Feng Ji exchanged glances with Guan Zhong and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, there is an old saying in the business field, called equal interests, we know that in the previous grain hegemony, the prime minister earned at least this amount!" Conscientiously, Feng Ji stretched out his hands and ten fingers, meaning 100,000 yuan.

Bai Mo's face changed slightly, thinking that this Feng Ji was worthy of making a big deal, and he guessed the accurate number at once, Bai Mo sold two and a half million stone grains successively, and the average price was about four hundred yuan, and the total income was almost 100,000.

Guan Zhong continued: "Prime Minister, we don't want to do things too desperately, the 500,000 stones in Xianyang Taicang and the 800,000 stones you borrowed from Han and Zhao, there is no problem with this, we can all spit it out, but the huge amount of money you earned from making a grain hegemony has to be taken out, this is called interest equalization, how about it?" ”

The implication is that Bai Mo will take 100,000 yuan to buy 1.3 million stone of grain, with an average price of almost 800 yuan, which is indeed a big concession compared to the sky-high asking price of 2,000 yuan per stone.

"You want to be beautiful!" Zhou Guanfu said angrily, "Then we won't work in vain?" ”

"Isn't it just a waste of work?" Chen Ping said coldly, "After careful calculation, we have lost a lot, because in addition to the original 500,000 stones in Xianyang Taicang and the 800,000 stones loaned, there are still more than one million stones of grain in the Xianyang market and transferred from various counties and counties, almost half of which is lost!" ”

Feng Ji said with a smile: "Taishi, it's better to lose half than to lose all of it, right?" ”

"Joke!" Zhou Guanfu drew his sword and shouted loudly, "How dare you lie to my side, believe it or not, Benhou will detain all your grain without giving a penny?" ”

"I don't believe it." Feng Ji's face suddenly turned cold, "Champion Hou might as well deduct it and try it." ”

Zhou Guanfu was so angry that he was about to order the fleet to be escorted back to Xianyang, but was stopped by Bai Mo.

Bai Mo waved his hand to stop Zhou Guanfu, and then said to Feng Ji and Guan Zhong: "It's good for the two of you to do this, you will pay 60,000 yuan, and buy all the grain you sell on your side, so calculated, it is equivalent to the 300,000 stone of grain you sold in Guanzhong and sold it at a sky-high price of 2,000 yuan per stone, you have made a lot of money, haven't you?" ”

"Prime Minister, the account is not calculated like you." Feng Ji shook his head and said with a smile, "If ten days ago, the prime minister was willing to eat our 300,000 stone grain for 2,000 yuan per stone, we would naturally be very happy, but unfortunately, at that time, the prime minister avoided us and refused to even meet us, didn't he?" ”

After a pause, Feng Ji said again: "The final reserve price, 90,000 yuan, 1.5 million stones!" ”！ …… ）。 ）
