Chapter 145: It's not what it used to be, Zhou Yigong's hatred
A plague of locusts passed through the city.
The price of grain beans can almost be called one price a day.
Sometimes the people had just scraped together enough money to buy grain, but when they arrived at the market, they found that the price had doubled, and the little money they had was not enough to eat.
Soon, there were fights over grain beans everywhere in the city, and those rangers who were usually idle began to kill people and steal food on the street.
For a time, an atmosphere of panic spread throughout the city.
Passing by the street in a carriage every day, Han Yue noticed that there were mostly yellow-faced and thin-skinned people on the roadside, and the rangers who crossed the sword were also noodles and dishes, watching the carriages of the nobles pass by, and their eyes flashed with greed from time to time.
Hanyue lowered the curtain of the car and covered her figure, if she continued like this, the city would soon be in chaos.
"There are merchants who want to see their wife." As soon as I returned to the house, the steward hurriedly came to greet him.
"Got it, bring them here." Han Yue has recently successively transferred the stored grain to several merchants, and as for how much they will increase the price after taking it, it is none of her business.
She always remembered that in her previous life, a wise man had warned Qin Zhengjing: cheap is like pearl jade, and expensive is like dung.
After gaining profit, it should be thrown out like dung.
Whether it was in the past life or in this life, Qin Zhengjing did not learn to trade, but she kept these firmly in her heart.
"Zhou Yigong came to the door to ask to see." A steward in charge of the merchant entered.
Han Yue looked at the accounts recorded in the silk book and chuckled: "Zhou Yigong, doesn't he look down on the grain business." ”
Zhou Yigong gritted his teeth and stood up for a long time, he didn't bother to participate in this business, but as the locust plague became worse day by day, the price of Gu Dou was so high that even he couldn't help it.
Who doesn't want to be profitable? Not to mention that they are businessmen.
"Madame, do you see it?" The steward asked.
Han Yue nodded, "Take all the merchants who want to see them to the old courtyard." Recently, she has ordered the old courtyard to be converted into a special place to meet merchants.
Han Yue looked at the accounts for a while, and then slowly went to the old courtyard surrounded by the guards.
In the distance, she heard the voice of the guard: "Lady Moon has arrived." ”
The courtyard is not big, but it is very elegantly tidyed, there are dozens of couches in the courtyard, and there are other maids standing aside with wine, with low eyebrows.
Zhou Yigong turned his fat body and looked at the door, "Mrs. Yue is really quiet here, even the subordinates are so boring." ”
Even if they are talking about business, they often put their arms around Mei Ji and sip wine at the same time, and it is the first time they have seen such a bland meeting.
The breeze was blowing, the luxurious fabrics reflected the extravagant brilliance in the sun, and Hanyue walked in with an elegant smile on her face.
Graceful, calm and luxurious, where is there still half a point of humility when he was a slave.
Even Zhou Yigong couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The guards entered the courtyard and lined up on both sides, each holding their swords at their waists, and their breath was magnificent.
Han Yue stepped into the courtyard, and the guards in front of her bowed.
Han Yue slightly bowed her head to sign.
Everyone in the courtyard looked at her like this, and every time they passed by a guard, the person saluted her, and finally when Hanyue came to these merchants, someone subconsciously stood up and bowed to her.
Hanyue's sleeves are light and comfortable, and she returns the gift.
Only then did everyone come to their senses, some with their mouths half open, others stunned.
Even if King Danyang entrusted her with a heavy responsibility, but she was a woman, they thought that it was just because of King Danyang's favor, in order to give her some face, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
In the eyes of these guards, even if they respected their master's concubines on their faces, they were just acting on orders, how could they willingly bow their noble heads to these women.
Taking the initiative to salute a concubine who is not even a master mother like this, this is the first time they have seen such a thing.
Hanyue seemed to be blind to the surprise in everyone's eyes, she beckoned to the steward beside her and took the silk book he handed over.
"I also have a little grain and bean storage in the surrounding cities, are you interested?"
This woman has food in other cities!
Everyone was shocked, how many grain beans she had harvested at the beginning, and there was no news of the locust plague at that time.
Several merchants raised their voices at the same time: "I am willing to talk to my wife in detail." ”
Han Yue smiled slightly, "Don't worry about the price, it will definitely not exceed three times the original price." ”
Everyone's eyes flickered.
Three times the price, now the price of grain beans on the market has been more than five times higher, she is willing to give it to them at three times the price, they are naturally willing to do such a good thing.
Zhou Yigong's face was the boss, "Is it advantageous or not, does Mrs. Yue have other plans?" ”
As soon as these words came out, some people also hesitated.
Who would put a large sum of money and not make it, but give them the profits?
Han Yue looked at Zhou Yigong with a smile, "Of course I have other plans, but it's just for fame." ”
Zhou Yigong was stunned.
Han Yue continued: "If all the money is earned by me alone, won't the princes resent me, I don't want to be cursed outside while counting the money in the mansion." She chuckled as she covered her mouth with her sleeve.
The laughter sounded as crisp and refreshing as a silver bell, and people couldn't help but laugh along.
"Mrs. Yue said with a smile, how could we curse you."
Han Yue just smiled, and handed over the rest of the things to the steward, and in less than half an hour, she had already sold most of the remaining grains, and even Zhou Yigong got a part.
When he left the house, someone sighed in a low voice: "This woman is really a natural businessman, but it's a pity that Zhou Yigong is unlucky, he was taken by the king of Danyang when he first started, and he felt that he had taken advantage of it after exchanging two thousand gold......
Zhou Yigong sat in the carriage and listened to the discussion outside, because he was angry, the fat on his chin trembled.
"Go back!" He shouted angrily.
In fact, these people really said what he was thinking.
Now the more glorious the woman's life is, the more depressed his heart becomes, and the more he feels that he has suffered a loss.
The carriage was driven into the street, and a miserable cry for help was heard outside.
Zhou Yigong pulled the corner of the car curtain and looked out, just in time to see several rangers snatching other people's grain and fleeing.
Something like this has been happening more and more in recent times.
Even if the guards of the powerful caught them and killed them in the street, they couldn't stop this kind of thing from happening one after another.
"Whatever it is...... Go ahead. Zhou Yigong said arrogantly.
He doesn't care if these untouchables live or die.
The carriage continued to move, and Zhou Yigong sat there not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Stop!" He snorted.
"Master." The guards outside stepped forward to listen to the orders.
Zhou Yigong's vagina: "You go to the city to inquire, what are the most troublesome rangers in the city recently...... I'll be of great use catching a few. ”
