783. Differentiation and disintegration
On the street, Zhu Ganglie, the largest grain merchant in Mengjin County, and Feng Zhishui, the second largest grain merchant, saw that there were many surplus grain purchasing points on the street that were buying surplus grain from farmers. And the people were lining up there one by one, apparently selling their surplus grain. And those people still have smiles on their faces, and they are obviously very satisfied with the purchase price. After all, this year's harvest was quite good, and although they were scavenged by those grain merchants and silk cloth merchants, they still had a lot of income. The Chinese people are the loveliest, as long as they have some enough food, then they will also settle down. Now that the government has purchased the surplus grain, they can then use the copper coins to trade for other supplies, so that they can also have a better quality of life.
"Bastard, actually play this hand!" Zhu Ganglie said angrily.
Originally, Zhu Ganglie thought that if the grain merchants led by himself did not buy the surplus grain of the people, and the surplus grain in the hands of the people could not be exchanged for enough copper coins for trading, then the entire market order would be disrupted. In fact, this is the use of the principle of deflation, resulting in the so-called shortage of money in the hands of the people, and finally the entire market economy will be chaotic. Although there was no finance in ancient times, some simple truths can be figured out by many businessmen in their daily experience.
If the copper money in the hands of the people is insufficient, the people will not be able to buy all kinds of materials, and all kinds of materials will not be able to sell, so it will be very strict to crack down on market transactions, and the market order will be completely wiped out. And Zhu Ganglie is not afraid of Jingwen using force, once he uses force, then Zhu Ganglie will have someone to inform Shaoyin Jin of Luoyang Mansion and ask him to come over to clean up Jingwen and Ma Zhou. After all, this abuse of the power of force is very egregious. And Zhu Ganglie is not afraid of being arrested, because there are people behind him. If Jingwen abuses his power, Zhu Ganglie has a way to make Jingwen go back in disgrace. But now Jing Wenqi is like a ghost, and he doesn't use his power to directly raid his house, so it is difficult for Zhu Ganglie to use the political background behind him. If Zhu Ganglie used the backstage first, then he would not be reasonable. And when the time comes, Jingwen will also have a reason to "use public weapons for private use". Therefore, using the political forces to solve the struggle in the shopping mall is a completely lose-lose act, and the side effects are very large. Zhu Ganglie didn't intend to abuse it, but now Jingwen actually competed with them for capital.
"Hmph, receive, I'll let him receive! I want to see how much financial resources they have in Mengjin County to be able to eat these surplus grains! If he dares to embezzle those other money, then I have the ability to sue Ma Zhou! Zhu Ganglie snorted.
Zhu Ganglie subconsciously thought that this time it was the county commander of Mengjin County, Ma Zhou, who was using the county's financial expenditure to purchase the people's surplus grain. However, the amount of fiscal spending that local governments can use is very limited, and it is simply not enough to buy all of this surplus grain. Therefore, Zhu Ganglie was not afraid of Ma Zhou at all, because he concluded that Ma Zhou's Mengjin County County Government did not have enough money at all. And Zhu Ganglie thought that Ma Zhou was just taking the opportunity to slap his swollen face to become fat, as if he had the money to buy grain, and then made them, the grain merchants, feel scared, so he continued to buy grain.
But Zhu Ganglie has also been in the mall for a long time, of course he knows how much finance in a county can be used for Ma Zhou to squander? So. He thinks this is a trick by Ma Zhou, specially designed to scare them grain merchants.
"Boss Zhu, many things are not so simple. You have to know that although Ma Zhou is a poor bastard. But the Jingwen beside him is not a poor bastard! Jingwen is a mixed figure in our Tang Dynasty officials and businessmen, if you talk about wealth, if you don't like it, the emperor's inner treasury may not be richer than him! Who doesn't know that the current emperor is a poor emperor. Datang's finances have been very depleted, and it has been struggling to support it. But Jingwen is rich, and he often supports the imperial court! If it was Jingwen, he would come forward to buy these grains. I'm afraid it can still hold on! Feng Zhishui said.
"Will he pay? This doesn't seem to be his business! Zhu Ganglie asked with some doubts.
"Hard to say!" Feng Zhishui said.
And Feng Zhishui left quickly, he took the initiative to come to the outside of the county government and asked to see Ma Zhou and Jingwen. And this time, Feng Zhishui was really scared, because he could see that Jing Wenke's capital strength was really strong. These small merchants, once they confront a figure like Jingwen, who is both a big bull in both official and commercial ways, they are not opponents at all. Now, although Jingwen did not use official forces to overwhelm them, he used the strength of capital to bully them. This is also the time to compete for capital, if you want to compete for capital, then they will not be Jingwen's opponents at all. Because Jingwen's liquidity is very strong, he can take out a lot of it at any time. Because Jingwen's production cost is cheap, the net profit is also very high. In addition, Jingwen doesn't need to deal with the government, because he is also a high-ranking official. And the working capital of these grain merchants is consumed in materials, and from time to time they have to communicate with those government workers, which costs a lot. So they don't have much liquidity, and now if Jingwen is really ruthless to compete with them for financial resources, then they are not Jingwen's opponents when they are tied together.
"Haha, someone can't hold on." Jingwen said.
Jingwen heard that the second-ranked grain merchant came to visit, and he knew that this grain merchant couldn't hold on and wanted to compromise. Anyway, surrendering is only half of the loss, maybe people will not let you lose so badly, so surrender must also be as kuài.
Jingwen then said to Ma Zhou: "Ma Zhou, you have to remember that the strongest fortresses are breached from the inside. These businessmen may form an alliance against us for the sake of temporary gain. But once some people find that there is no benefit, then some of their hearts begin to waver. Once the hearts of these people are shaken, it will not be far from our success. We can divide and disintegrate them, they are all a group of people who have formed an alliance with the interests of Guò, and naturally they can betray their comrades for the greater good. What's more, they may not be good birds, they usually deal in food, and their peers are enemies, so they naturally have accumulated some grudges. As long as we make good use of this problem, we can completely tear up this network of their interests. However, the premise is that we must be able to give enough benefits. (To be continued......)
