Before Liu Ze could speak, the people around him burst into laughter and sneered: "Are you crazy hungry, do you know how much ten rice costs?" Even if you pay 20,000 yuan now, you may not be able to buy back a hundredth of rice, and you dare to ask for the sky-high price of ten hundredths of rice? Hahaha, laughing to death. "Outside the Yuyuan Pass is blocked by the government, the price of rice here is dozens of times higher than that of Luoyang, and there is often no price in the market.

Hearing everyone's ridicule, the young man surnamed Lu lowered his head in shame and didn't dare to lift it. But I heard Liu Ze say lightly: "Okay, deal." ”

Everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded, there were really people who took ten stone rice in exchange for these rolls of broken bamboo slips, this world is really crazy. The young man surnamed Lu also raised his head and looked at Liu Ze in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. And Liu Ze's next sentence was even more thunderous.

"Since Cai Gong can buy this book with a thousand gold, it is enough to prove the value of this book, if I only pay the price of ten stone rice, wouldn't it be insulting to Sven, just like that, ten stone rice will be given to you, and another thousand taels of gold will be given to you, what does the little brother think?"

The young man surnamed Lu was at a loss for what to do, and said distractedly: "This ...... That's too much, right? ”

Liu Ze laughed and said: "With the value of the Lu family's Spring and Autumn Period, no more, little brother, how about trading with me over there?" He didn't care about the other sellers around Mu Ruo's chickens, so he pulled the young man surnamed Lu to the Yuyuan Pass.

After a long time, the sellers closed their "O" mouths, and some people sighed and said: "Oh my God, a few broken bamboo slips were sold for ten hundred rice and one thousand taels of gold, I'm not dreaming, right?" ”

The person next to him was also saying: "This is a rich man from there, who is so big?" ”

There was a humane person in the back: "Yo, you don't know if you dare to love it, this master just now is the shopkeeper of Fuyuanzhuang Liu who gave porridge this time, look, all these hundreds of thousands of people eat are the shopkeeper Liu, what is that little money!" ”

Everyone exclaimed in unison: "Ah, no wonder, no wonder, it turned out that the God of Wealth was here." ”

At the pass, Liu Ze ordered someone to order ten hundred rice, ten full pockets, handed over to the young man surnamed Lu, and took a money ticket of one thousand taels of gold, and said: "This is a money ticket of one thousand taels of gold, which can be exchanged for gold in the Luoyang General Account and other branches in Huitong Tianxia. ”

Liu Ze didn't give him real money, and in this troubled world, he brought a huge sum of 1,000 taels of gold, and he couldn't even kill the gangsters if he couldn't even pass tonight.

The young man surnamed Lu was also from a scholar family, and he knew that Huitong was a money village in the world, so he took the money ticket with a trembling hand, cried with joy, and almost knelt down for Liu Ze: "Thank you, shopkeeper Liu, I thank you on behalf of my mother." ”

Liu Ze hugged him and said, "Little brother, go back to see your mother, but how can you get so much rice back?" ”

The young man surnamed Lu was also worried, he also thought that it was difficult to bring so much rice back to prevent others from coveting it, most of his family had died in the war, and only he and his mother were left to rely on each other, how could he keep the ten rice?

Liu Ze also saw his embarrassment, turned back to Chen Zhi and said: "Duwei Chen, there is one thing I would like you to help me with, this little brother and I traded ten stone rice, but I can't take it away for a while, can you save it there and let him take it as he likes?" ”

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter. Chen Zhi called two soldiers to store the nine hu rice in the warehouse, and the remaining one was taken away by the young man surnamed Lu. He is going to change the medicine for this rice, and now in the troubled times, rice is a hard currency, a hundred times stronger than gold and silver.

Sending off the young man surnamed Lu, Liu Ze looked at the situation of the porridge, the sunset had passed, and finally today's porridge was over.

Liu Ze stood on a high place and said loudly: "Ladies and fellow villagers, from today on, Liu will set up a porridge shed porridge here every day, and ask the elders and villagers to tell each other, if you need to eat, you will go to the outside of the customs, Liu is not talented, but if everyone is in Yuyuan Pass for a day, you will not be hungry." ”

A gray-haired old man knelt on the ground tremblingly and said, "Shopkeeper Liu is our reborn parents, please be worshiped by the old man." He knelt down, and Kulala knelt down in a large area, and the mountains and tsunamis were full of words of gratitude.

Liu Ze hurriedly helped the old man up and said, "Old man, don't be like this, kill me." Liu Ze He De, let everyone do this big gift, everyone get up. I, Liu Ze, don't want to be famous or profiteous, I just don't want to watch the lives go to misery and starve all over the wilderness, and do my best to save the common people, that's all. Let's go! ”

After resigning from Chen, it was already dark at night when he returned to Luoyang.

After thinking about it, a total of nearly 700,000 portions of porridge were given on this day, each serving was calculated according to one catty, and a total of 700,000 catties of rice (Han system) were consumed, which was 7,000 hui rice, Jian Yong was a little worried, under the premise of not increasing refugees, 200,000 hu rice could only support a month, but this premise could not be guaranteed at all. The price of rice is soaring, the number of refugees will also rise, and it is unknown when the war will end, Liu Ze vaguely remembers that the yellow scarves in Yuzhou will be broken by the official army in June and July, and five or six months is enough to bankrupt Liu Ze.

Although the Yali pear is very large, Liu Ze still said firmly: "Xianhe, since this matter has already begun, there is absolutely no room to turn back. How much money do we have at our disposal? ”

Jian Yong said: "Luoyang is the largest, there are about 5 billion money, but we have to deal with the potential risk of a run, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the business of the money village has suddenly skyrocketed, especially the exchange business in Hebei, Qingdao, Henan, Yan four prefectures have increased significantly, from this month, I have increased the exchange fee to 20%, but still can not stop the transfer of large amounts of money to Luoyang. ”

Liu Ze nodded, the war was chaotic, many rich people wanted to transfer funds to a safe place in the first time, in the case of the Central Plains into a pot of porridge, it was relatively safe to choose the capital Luoyang, so the rich people in the four states of Jiqing, Yuyan, and the most severe Yellow Peril had transferred funds in the capital, and it was completely impossible to escort them themselves, and the Yangwei Dart Bureau was stopped, and the yellow turban was full of chaos on the way, and whoever dared to go out of the city was to send money to the yellow scarf. Every day, the Qianzhuang branch in the four states is crowded with people who come to exchange money, and the running pressure of the Luoyang general account has become very great.

Twenty percent of the profit is enough for Liu Ze to make a lot of money, think about the business of five billion yuan alone is enough for Liu Ze to earn one billion, so that the little expenses outside the Yuyuan Pass are insignificant. But the headache is that now Luo** has no extra liquidity to buy grain, and must find a way to transfer the money deposited in the four states to Luoyang to deal with the run crisis.

Jian Yong was worried and said, "Does the lord have a good plan?" ”

"If it doesn't work, first transfer the spare funds of Chang'an and Jinyang to Luoyang, and respond to emergencies."

There was no large-scale yellow chaos in Chang'an and Bingzhou, and it was not difficult to transport some money with the strength of the dart bureau. Jian Yong just shook his head and said: "The scale of Chang'an and Jinyang branches is originally small, and the funds that can be mobilized are only two or three hundred million, which is a drop in the bucket, and it cannot fundamentally solve the crisis in Luoyang." ”

Liu Ze thought for a while and said: "Ant legs are also meat, so they should be transferred over first to deal with emergencies, although they can't solve the crisis of the general number, but it is still not a big problem to use them to purchase some grain to ensure the supply outside the Yuyuan Pass." As for Jiqing Yuyan, I think the dry road is not good, you can try it by water. Yun Chang, you bring more manpower and try it by water, and see if you can bring some gold from the waterway. ”

Guan Yu took the order. Liu Ze also decided to increase some more manpower tomorrow in Yuyuan Pass, and try to complete the porridge in the middle of the day.

The next day, when the sky was still bright, there was already a long queue outside the Guanyuan, and the number of people actually increased by 20% compared with yesterday. Liu Ze didn't care about the fatigue of the boat, so he immediately asked his partners to start work, and the first pot of hot porridge came out of the pot at sunrise.

Chen Zhi had already reported to Shangfeng about Liu Ze's porridge in Yuyuan Pass, but the court was silent about it, and did not say that it was feasible or forbidden. If you want to come to the court, you can't speak, it was originally the court's obligation to help refugees, and now let a businessman come forward to do this, how can the court give this order. As for the ban, it is estimated that the court will not dare, hundreds of thousands of refugees have stirred up a popular uprising, and no one can bear it, not to mention that some people are willing to be wronged, why don't they do it?
