Chapter 902: Playing the Game (2)
At least half of the grain in the granary in the north of the city was sold to Li Qingze by Meng Shaoning at a high price, that is to say, the reason why Li Qingze had so much grain in his hands was all hoarded in just ten days.
It is estimated that even Li Guangyan does not know about this matter.
Ye San said with admiration on his face: "In ten days, there will be no chaos in Beijing because of the sudden rise in grain prices, nor will it attract the attention of the imperial court. ”
"When Meng Siye sent someone to inform the prince, all the plans had already taken shape, and we just picked up a leak."
"All of this, from beginning to end, was done by Meng Siye alone."
After Ye San finished speaking, he glanced around, lowered his voice and said:
"As far as I know, this time alone, Fourth Master Meng not only made the third prince and the seventh prince lose blood, but the amount of silver he earned was enough for this amount......"
Ye San stretched out three fingers, even if he knew it for a long time, he still couldn't hide the shock on his face: "Three hundred thousand taels, at least!" And that's not counting the grain that our people took advantage of the chaos to remove from the granary after he informed the prince. ”
Hui Yu listened to Ye San's words later, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "You mean, this granary caught fire and didn't burn the grain?" ”
"Of course not, even if there is, it's only a few hundred stones for play, and the others have already been sent to the boat docked next to us by taking advantage of the chaos, and only tens of thousands of stones are left for Qian Yuchun to take to deal with the imperial court, otherwise it would be a pity to burn so much grain?"
Ye San finished speaking as a matter of course, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with them stealing beams and changing pillars and robbing while the fire was hot.
Anyway, the three princes and the seventh prince are not good things.
It's like what the prince said, nothing can move the people's livelihood, even if they are short of money, they will not make this kind of black money, since the three princes have done it, don't blame them for eating black, anyway, in the final analysis, these are also people's fat and people's ointment.
After Ye San finished speaking, he looked at Hui Yu and said, "So you say, is this Fourth Master Meng powerful?" ”
In just ten days, 300,000 taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of stone grain, this time and again, counting the difference in the price of grain, plus the grain they secretly exchanged before, at least 500,000 taels will go up!
Not only that, but he also earned money Yuchun a favor, so that he was completely tied to their boat, and he returned to Jun Mo, which is not something that can be done with a little silver.
Don't look at the fact that after Jun Mo overthrew King Chen, there were tens of millions of silver in his hands, but in fact, there were only one million dollars in silver.
Those leftover things need to be discounted before they can be exchanged for cash, and this is still the total amount that King Chen has obtained for many years by relying on Jiang Qingping to risk rebellion, smuggling salt and iron, and even trading with the Southern Liang army for many years.
Jun Mo looked at the tens of millions in his hand, but all this silver had to be used to compensate the relatives of the soldiers who died in vain, as well as the construction of the Ying Ling Hall in Pizhou.
But Meng Shaoning was good, he didn't even take half a step out of the capital, and he didn't even show his face from beginning to end.
A few rumors, a few days, a few casual fools, a change of hands is 500,000 taels of silver.
