Chapter 315: Purchasing Grain
Su Qiqi shook his head and handed over a hand-drawn map: "There are too many people in the courtyard to attract attention, you go out and wait for me." Follow the route I marked, there is a mountain at the junction of the two dynasties, and you go around the back of the mountain. ”
Now that no one is in the white expanse, there are few eye-catching markers, otherwise Su Qiqi would have let them go back to the camp directly.
Yang Kunrong saw that she had made up his mind, took the hand-drawn map and said happily: "Done." ”
After listening to Su Qiqi's careful explanation of the route, Yang Kunrong hurried to the front yard, summoned everyone to load a chew into the carriage, and set off immediately.
Closing the organ, Su Qiqi copied dozens of household registration certificates of the locals, turned out of the city wall and went to Luhu Lake that night, carrying a few people back to the city, running twice and not daring to move, the city wall patrols everywhere are dense, and the cycle is endless.
Once detected, the partners stranded outside the city will be dangerous, and it will be more difficult to infiltrate the city.
The rest of the people slowly sneaked into the city every day in three or four with local household registration certificates.
In the process of waiting, Su Qiqi disguised himself in different appearances every day to buy food everywhere, and he didn't dare to buy more at a time, dozens of catties were up to the sky, and he was only a few hundred catties at most after a busy day.
Ten days, tired into a dog!!
Adhering to the idea that mosquitoes are small and meat, Su Qiqi worked tirelessly, filling the inventory little by little as if ants were moving.
After buying more than 7,000 catties of grain sporadically, Su Qiqi had a turn of his mind and carried two truckloads of spicy sauce to He Haichang.
He Haichang was very surprised: "I haven't seen the young owner for a long time, how can the young owner come to deliver the goods in person this time?" ”
Su Qiqi hugged his fists and smiled heartily, saluting.
The two briefly narrated, and Su Qiqi said in a low voice: "This time, there is a big deal, I don't know if He Dongjia is interested in getting involved." ”
"Oh~" He Haichang raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashing: "Let's hear it." ”
"I have a grain deal in my hand, the price difference in the middle is amazing, it is easy to earn thousands of taels a trip, if you are interested, let's open five or five, you just buy grain, you don't have to do anything else, just sit and count the silver." Su Qiqi tried his best to bewitch him.
Deeply afraid that he would have any concerns, he continued to preach: "The snow disaster this winter is particularly serious in the north, and the shortage of grain is tight, and the grain transportation has doubled. Don't worry, my father in the north has already worked properly, as long as the grain is delivered, you and I will only wait for the silver to come in. ”
"I don't know Tongguan very well, it takes a lot of time to buy grain, I have to go to the south to collect a batch, but even if the He Dong family wants to earn this silver, there is no way......"
This kind of operation is tantamount to buying grain at a high price to cover people's eyes and ears, and paying an extra sum of silver to He Haichang.
Su Qiqi was red with a lack of food, and he didn't care about the distressed silver, anyway, the silver was piled up, and the high price was high.
Although the silver is charming, it cannot be directly entered, and it is useless to guard a pile of silver eggs with a hungry stomach.
On the emperor's blacklist, Su Qiqi dared to mess around with his neck, and he came forward to buy food on a large scale, which was to find death.
Only by knowing the current affairs can you live a long life!
To be a man, you have to be able to bend and stretch, and distinguish between the important and the heavy.
As a local tycoon, He Haichang hoarded tens of thousands of catties of grain and was not eye-catching.
He Haichang listened to her blowing, his heart was moved, and he thought about it for a while: "Brother Huang, Tongguan has also suffered a small snowstorm, and the price of grain has also risen sharply, can it really be doubled when it is transported to the north?" ”
Su Qiqi rolled his eyes and said nonsense: "What is the snow disaster in Tongguan, my father sent someone to the north to investigate a few times, the snow disaster in the north is amazing, that guy, do you know how thick the snow is, how tall it is for one person, I'm afraid it won't be able to melt in June or July..."
"If you are really not at ease, and you are worried that something will go wrong halfway, and you will be paid 3,000 taels immediately when the grain is harvested, and you should get dividends in advance, is it feasible?"
He Haichang pondered, pulled out the abacus in his heart, and secretly thought, the grain is transported to the north to get silver, although it is one or two percent more, but the risk is high, and the road is not stable for a long time....
The person carefully measured: "Yes." "Pick up three thousand taels for nothing, it's a fool not to do it.
Su Qiqi saw that the conversation was close, and said extraordinarily: "He Dongjia, you and I are not dealing with each other for the first time, if it is good, I will be the first to consider you, you have to help me keep it a secret, in case other merchants know about it, they will all transport grain to the north, and the price of grain will naturally fall, then I will lose a lot." ”
"Moreover, our family has found out a lot of manpower and material resources on this trade route, and once the news leaks, the previous investment will be in vain."
I must not expose my plan, otherwise it will be a bunch of troubles, adding to the waves, Su Qiqi is quite cautious.
He Haichang said: "Brother Huang, you look down on the old man too much, businessmen pay attention to integrity, often come and go, and the business side is prosperous, which is not lacking in old men with business ethics." ”
Su Qiqi smiled: "I believe you!" It's not the heart of a villain, it's just about the prosperity of the family, so you have to be careful, don't blame the He Dong family. ”
He Haichang: "Don't blame, don't blame, what Brother Huang did is human nature, understand!" ”
"Thank you!" Su Qiqi pondered and said: "The owner of the goods, the scattered grain is not collected, the border city of Tongguan, there are so many grain merchants in the city, your family buys thousands of catties, and it is not difficult to make up 100,000 catties. ”
Mainly considering that the common people have sold their food at a high price, life is not good, who is to starve to death?!
If the plague is brought to the poor, the sin is great!
Merchants don't have tens of thousands of catties of grain, and a few thousand catties less is not in the way.
The two negotiated the details, and Su Qiqi got up to say goodbye.
In the thirteenth day, the partners outside the city had come in one after another, and the remaining fifteen people, Su Qiqi, simply raised the wild boar and came out, pretending to be people from nearby villages, and hunting wild boars into the city to sell.
A group of people were dressed in tatters, and ten people stopped at the gate of the city carrying a large wild boar, and the soldiers guarding the city stopped and checked for a long time.
Su Qiqi took off the big back basket and took out a hen, stuffed it into his hand, and said timidly: "Official, it's convenient, our village finally hunted some wild things and planned to go into the city to exchange some silver taels, buy some grain and go back, and wait for the rice to go to the pot at home." ”
The soldier was unmoved: "No, at most five people will enter, and the rest will wait outside." ”
Su Qiqi flattered and said: "Official, how can the five people move the big wild boar, and there are some small wild animals hunted in the back basket, not to mention that we have been hungry for several days and have no strength, you can do it, let us pass." ”
"These wild things were hunted by the young adults of our village, who went to the mountains for many days." Su Qiqi tore open the back baskets of the other people and motioned for him to look.
The soldier glanced at the rabbit pheasant in the basket and remained silent.
Su Qiqi stuffed two rabbits again, took out a few copper plates and stuffed them in his hand, and said quietly: "Official, don't dislike it, your belongings are poor, and the wild boar will change the silver to make up for you later?" ”
She wanted to smash the silver, but she was pretending to be a poor person, and she coldly made a few ingots of silver to make people more suspicious, and she was not a fool.
