Chapter 252: No Hoarding of Grain
In fact, the grain finally went into the pockets of the common people, but it was not sold to the people of Lianzhou City, girl, if you also want to do this business, I can recommend you merchants in neighboring cities, and let them negotiate the price with you, I guarantee that the price they give is at least three times that of Lianzhou City. ”
The boss stretched out three fingers and shook them in front of Qian Qianqian's eyes, his face was full of pride, and the horizontal flesh piled up, squeezing his eyes smaller and smaller.
Qian Qianqian finally understood, it seems that the boss thinks that the price of grain in Lianzhou City is too low, so he smuggles the grain elsewhere and sells it at a high price to make a profit.
"How can you do that? Don't you know that Boss Mu got that grain to save the lives of the people of Lianzhou? ”
Qian Qianqian suddenly became angry, her hands clenched into fists, her face was gloomy, sure enough, these businessmen did not have such a high consciousness, once the people above were negligent, they would fish in troubled water.
"Are the people starving to death? They can live the same way as long as they tighten their belts, and if the grain is sold to them cheaply, how much less money will we have to make? Although Boss Mu said it well before, but now we have to plan for ourselves, girl, why are you so serious? ”
The boss felt incredible, he didn't understand Qian Qianqian's thoughts at all, thinking that everyone was like him, he only knew how to make money, and he didn't care about anything else.
"You hurry up and make up for the food you shipped out, and do what Boss Mu said before, otherwise I will go to Lord Zhou, and you will all be caught up in Laoli, and your family property will be confiscated, and those people will be relieved."
Qian Qianqian is very stubborn, there is no room for negotiation in this matter, and she has no intention of discussing it with the boss at all, not only this grain store, but also the remaining ones She will also go to warn them one by one, so that these people will spit out all the money they have earned in their pockets.
"Don't, girl, the grain has already been sold, where can I take it back? I know that you have a good personal relationship with Boss Mu, if you don't say this, I am willing to share the silver I earn with you, and I will never let you suffer, I know that you make hard money in business, so much silver, there should be no reason to refuse. ”
The boss still refuses to give up, in the eyes of these businessmen, everything can be clearly marked, if they can't negotiate, it can only mean that the price is not enough.
"You don't talk about things with silver, if there is not a grain of rice in the Xiao Kingdom one day, all your silver will turn into stone, worthless, and it won't save your life."
Qian Qianqian glared at the boss, and said unceremoniously, it seems that she needs to discuss this matter with Mu Tianyue, and she must not let these grain shops go on so rampantly.
"Girl, it's not that serious, why don't you just take a step back? I heard that the war on the frontier has been won, and General Xiao is dealing with the aftermath over there, and when the next year comes, our Xiao country will have plenty of food, and then these people will naturally have food to eat, and we will not do this kind of thing again. ”
The boss said very proudly, it seems that he has already calculated it, deduct food from the mouths of those people, and fill their own pockets, if the war really ends here, it is fine, but if the war starts again, what should the people of Xiao Guo do?
"It's really easy for you to think about it, use the war to make a fortune for the country, since I found out about this, then I won't let you go on like this, you either do what I say, or go to the county government to turn yourself in."
Qian Qianqian got up suddenly, her patience was obviously exhausted, she only gave the boss two choices, and then strode out, the boss still chased after her to persuade her, but Qian Qianqian was unmoved.
Out of the grain shop, Qian Qianqian went straight to Mu Tianyue and explained the matter to Mu Tianyue, Mu Tianyue was also very surprised, he was busy collecting food everywhere these days, but he didn't expect that only a small part of the grain that he finally got was given to the people, and the rest were all used by those grain shop owners for personal gain, which is really ironic.
"Hmph, those profiteers, I can't spare them."
Mu Tianyue was very angry, he was the president of the Lianzhou City Chamber of Commerce, what a beautiful situation he was when Xiao Mohan was there before, and now he naturally couldn't bear it.
"The most important thing now is that they have sold the grain at a high price, if we can get it back, we will definitely pay more silver, and I don't know who they sold the grain to, then all the profiteers are complicit, and General Xiao is not in Lianzhou, I am afraid it will not be easy to investigate."
Qian Qianqian was a little worried in her heart, although Zhou Lin would help her, but behind these businessmen in Lianzhou, there was more or less collusion with the court officials, so many people Zhou Lin couldn't move, dealing with these businessmen must not be like dealing with ruffians and bandits, and they must not go too far.
"You are right, I will give General Xiao a letter to inform him of the situation in Lianzhou City, and the general will definitely send someone to help."
Mu Tianyue's sword frowned, and he said extremely firmly, it seems that Xiao Mohan still needs to intervene in this matter, but now Xiao Mohan is far away on the border, and he doesn't know what to come back, and his hand may not be able to stretch so long.
"I see, where do you have a lot of food? These days have been distributed to the people, and many of those people are almost unable to open the pot. ”
Qian Qianqian nodded slightly, her face was covered with gloomy clouds, before she came to Tianyue Restaurant just now, she had talked to many people, so she still had some understanding of the current situation.
"Where do I have food there? All the previous grain has been distributed to the grain shops below, and what I have left now is only enough to fill the stomach of the Mu Mansion. ”
Mu Tianyue was very distressed, the Mu family had a big business, and he couldn't cut off the food, and he didn't have much food in his hand before, so there was no food to hoard at all.
"It seems that the grain sold by the owner of the grain store must be recovered."
Qian Qianqian's hands clenched into fists, her brows were twisted into a dead knot, and her eyes were full of stubbornness, as if she had made up her mind.
"I will ask Zhou Lin to send people to search the grain stores in the city and ask them to spit out all the stored grain, they dare to deceive them like this, it seems that it is time to teach them a lesson."
Mu Tianyue pondered in his heart, and his eyes also ignited Sensen's anger, this time it was indeed his negligence, he had been busy with the Mu family's business, and he couldn't pay attention to the grain shop below, so he also felt sorry for those people.
"It's good that you know in your heart, it's not too early, I'll go home first, and I'll be notified when there's a way."
Qian Qianqian didn't stay much, the food was gone, she had to go back and think of a way to let those people fill their stomachs temporarily, so that Lianzhou City would not be in big trouble.
So after going home, Qian Qianqian locked herself in the room alone and quietly entered the space, and there was no hope for food outside at the moment, so she had to go into the space to have a look.
There was a grievance outside, but it was sunny here, Xiao Jiu was lying on the ridge, basking in the sun comfortably, his tail was swinging leisurely from side to side, his mouth was still dripping, and his body seemed to be fatter, it seemed that he was not treating himself badly here.
Qian Qianqian walked over lightly, picked off a dog's tail grass, and scratched Xiao Jiu's nose, Xiao Jiu's nose itched, and she couldn't help sneezing, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Qian Qianqian's face.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Jiu suddenly got up from the ridge, his eyes widened, and he looked at Qian Qianqian carefully, his face was full of surprise.
"What are you talking about? Why can't I come? ”
Qian Qianqian pursed her red lips slightly, threw aside the dog tail grass in her hand, raised her head, and looked arrogant.
"You haven't been there for so many days, I thought you had forgotten about me, and you didn't want everything in this space."
Xiao Jiu sat on the stone slab and deliberately mocked like this, his ears drooping, as if he was still angry.
"How so? The plants in this space are all my treasures, I just don't want myself, I can't do without them, besides, you have helped me so much, I can't forget who I am, and I can't forget you. ”
A smile appeared on Qian Qianqian's face, and she reached out and touched Xiao Jiu's head, just messing up Xiao Jiu's originally neat and supple hair.
Xiao Jiu rolled his eyes, glared at Qian Qianqian for a while, and stood up, a little more arrogant than Qian Qianqian.
"Tell me, what do you want to do when you come in?" Xiao Jiu didn't have a good temperament, knowing that Qian Qianqian would have something to do as soon as she came in, so she was already ready in her heart.
"There's a shortage of food out there, so I want to come in and see how much food is still in stock."
Qian Qianqian didn't hide it, the smile on her face gradually dissipated, her eyelids drooped, revealing indescribable exhaustion.
"You're going to get the grain out of here? If you open your eyes and take a good look, this place is almost half empty by you, and there is only a little seed left, if you transport all the seeds out, what will you use to sow them next year? ”
Xiao Jiu couldn't help but get excited, pointing to the empty field in front of him, and the skin on his face was wrinkled.
"There are still seeds out there, and when this crisis has passed and the situation improves, I will bring in the grain as seeds, so wouldn't it be both worlds?"
Qian Qianqian didn't think so, as long as Xiao Mohan returned to the city, many problems would be solved, and by the coming year, she would definitely have a bumper harvest.
"It's easy to say, these seeds are grown in space, and they are long different from those grain seeds outside, sowing seeds with these seeds will grow three times faster than ordinary seeds outside, that is to say, you can harvest three times more than ordinary seeds with these seeds, what a benefit this is, I don't need to remind you."
Xiao Jiu explained in a fifteen-ten manner, it is a matter of course, Qian Qianqian didn't find this, and now Xiao Jiu really reminded her.
"I see, it seems that I can't move the food here." Qian Qianqian was both surprised and frustrated, in the long run, she really shouldn't use the food seeds left in this space, but to solve the current problem, what should she do without these seeds?
"Even if you're not stupid, I've already helped you harvest the rice and wheat before, and they're all hoarded in the hut over there, and now the wheat in the field is about to be harvested again, if you don't mind, you can take some of the wheat out, as for the rice, the growth rate is not as fast as the wheat, and the wheat harvest is not as good, so it can't be transported again."
Although Xiao Jiu disliked Qian Qianqian on the surface, he still looked towards Qian Qianqian in many things, knowing that Qian Qianqian was embarrassed, he also took a step back and reminded him.
