"Let Zhou Zhe get out and see me!"

There was no impermeable wall, and not long after lying down, Fan Wenliang's roar reached the ears of a team of cronies guarding the door from the gate of the Book of Heaven.

Seeing Suo E go and return, Zhou Zhe was puzzled

"What's wrong?"

"Lord Fan Wenliang is here... "It's very rude, and I can't say it.

Zhou Zhe patted his head, this guy must have come to ask for food. I wanted to say that I couldn't see him, but instead of keeping him out, it was better to let him come in.

A moment later, in the inner hall, Fan Wenliang, who was blowing his beard and glaring, looked at Zhou Zhe with a resentful expression

"Aren't you going to say something?"

Zhou Zhe: "I... ”

"Grain, now people in Kyushu know that the floods in Hedong are raging, and the price of food will inevitably grow wildly. Are you going to rot all the food in the warehouse, or are you also going to hoard it and make a fortune?" Fan Wenliang spitted and the stars were about to splash on Zhou Zhe's face, and he asked several times.

Naturally, this is urgent, otherwise with Fan Wenliang's cultivation, how could it be so?

"Fan Gong, do you think of me Zhou Zhe like that?" Zhou Zhe smiled, as if he was gloating.

Fan Wenliang was speechless for a while, as if hoarding Juqi was not suitable for Zhou Zhe, he had always made a fortune by "robbing homes and robbing houses", hoarding Juqi not only had to take commercial risks and political risks, but it was not so complicated to destroy other people's sects, what is yours is mine, and everything is mine.

Zhou Zhe has accumulated so much wealth and produced the first pot of gold, most of which came from the hundred years of accumulation of various sects, which is equivalent to saying that the hoarding of various sects over the past hundred years has made wedding clothes for the people in front of him.

The more Fan Wenliang thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the young man in front of him should have more blood to make a living for the people.

Zhou Zhe said with a smile: "Fan Gong, if I take out all the grain, can I calm the price of grain? How many days can it be calmed? Three days or five days?"

Fan Wenliang frowned, 200 million catties of grain, seemingly massive, scattered in Hexi, Hedong, Shandong and Gyeonggi. It can feed 50 million people for four days, and 25 million people for eight days. At this time, the east of the river is flooded, and the crops affected by the disaster cannot grow, so they can only rely on relief. How much can 100 million catties of grain be sold?

Zhou Zhe said: "The original grain price is unreasonable, one or two silver, two hundred catties of grain, a family of three, three acres of land, busy for a year, planting beans, medium rice is only two thousand catties, equivalent to ten taels of silver." Fan Gong won't know the truth that grain is cheap and hurts farmers, right?"

Fan Wenliang nodded: "Then what do you mean to take advantage of this flood to raise the price of grain? But what's the point of mentioning it? The peasants are not two thousand catties a year." ”

Zhou Zhe nodded, his face was a little gloomy, like an abyss: "The common people are busy all year round, and they produce these two thousand catties of grain, except for the taxes paid and the daily consumption, there is not much left." If we raise the price of food, who will be hit the hardest?"

This is a very deep economic problem, Fan Wenliang said with a frown and a long thought

"There will inevitably be price disorders, and the biggest impact will be on the merchants and the mountain gates, which mainly grow spiritual grass. If you can't afford to buy food, you can only grow it yourself, and most of the people will barter. ”

Zhou Zhe said gloomily: "Then are our people afraid? Are they afraid of bartering? Whether we repair water conservancy or levy people's husbands, will we pay money or pay food?" Will it have an impact?"

"This!" Fan Wenliang seemed to understand something, most of the influential people were the sects that had a large amount of silver as assets, as well as merchants.

He hesitated: "Henan Province is also a large grain-producing province, you can pull up the grain prices in other places, and when the water recedes, the grain in Henan Province will be enough to impact the grain prices of several other provinces." ”

"The grain from Henan Province will not come. I talked to Feng Guang that now the grain in the middle and upper reaches of the Wugen River must be transported through Cao, and without my order, not a grain of rice can flow. Zhou Zhe waved his hand: "When my troops enter Henan, whatever price is a big set." When the time comes, the silver in everyone's hands will be worthless, and the common people will be rich when they have food in their hands. In the aftermath of the floods, please also issue a proclamation prohibiting unofficial grain trade. It's a big deal, but if you don't come, I'll beg you. ”

Fan Wenliang no longer needs to ask Zhou Zhe how to deal with this flood, he can see that the young man in front of him has used an extremely dangerous trick, if he uses it well, unless the sect rebels, he will have no power to fight back, and if he can't use it well, the economy will be chaotic for a while, but for the common people who only need to eat, there is actually no conflict.

But no matter how well Zhou Zhe uses it, whether he succeeds or not, he may be attacked, and even die and die. interests, all interest groups will not be happy, because they still have a tenth of their wealth left. Once, they could buy fifty catties of rice for one hundred taels of silver, but now they can only buy five catties. Grain is the real hard currency. When the time comes, I am afraid that any desperate thing will be done.

"What about the follow-up? You can't barter like this all the time in the follow-up, right?"

Zhou Zhe took out a silver ticket from his arms and said: "I don't know who started, we printed a large number of silver tickets to take away the wealth of the people." Maybe there isn't that much money in the ticket numbers, right?"

Fan Wenliang nodded helplessly, he also knew that this was an old accumulation, almost a top sect, it would open a silver building in Qianzhuang, issue those silver tickets, and use its own reputation as a guarantee, and the printed silver tickets became the key to their capture of Dasheng's wealth. Write a line of words and stamp a seal that cannot be forged, and you can buy a huge amount of supplies.

"Why didn't the household department take the lead in issuing it? With Dasheng's grain output as a guarantee, one pound of grain is a pound of grain stamps, and gradually replace grain with barter, gradually reduce the role of silver, and when the time is ripe, replace it. Zhou Zhe talked about it, this is a planned economy, and there is no need to engage in any vain heads.

The four major factions hold so much silver and silver tickets, and they still play market economy with them, which is purely death.

"I think about it. The stakes are high. Fan Wenliang knew how difficult it was, and he had to be cautious.

Zhou Zhe smiled and said, "Fan Gong, then do you still ask me what I want to prepare for that grain?"

"Don't ask, don't ask. ”

Soon, Fan Wenliang left the Tianshumen in a bit of despair.

All of this is good news for them.

In the hall, Fan Wenliang left, Si Shengnan turned in from the door, she didn't listen to Zhou Zhe's conversation behind the door on the first day, but today, it gave her a different feeling.

She couldn't understand Zhou Zhe's esoteric theories, but there was one thing, she understood that no matter what she did, Zhou Zhe would eventually offend the richest and most powerful sects and nobles in the world, even if it was a middle-class family.

"I don't understand, is it worth it?"

"It's worth it or not, don't worry about it. Maybe they'll be finished themselves. Zhou Zhe comforted.

The more this was the case, the worse the feeling in Si Shengnan's heart became: "Haven't you considered Xin Chai, and those brothers of yours?"

This is a difficult problem, a problem that cannot be avoided, but Zhou Zhe doesn't want to think about it anymore, life will inevitably gain and lose, so it's better not to think about it.

"You have pursued the path of your life, and now let them follow you along one path and one road to the dark? Are you so selfish?" Si Shengnan almost reddened his eyes.

Zhou Zhe squinted at Si Shengnan and said coldly: "You can see that a person with a way is to follow his own way." ”

"What a man of the way, I won't tell you this, I just ask you, what should Xin do if she chases her?

Zhou Zhe sighed: "We have already chosen the road, but you only found out later." ”

Si Shengnan's eyes looked directly at Zhou Zhe, as if he wanted to kill the person in front of him, but in the end, without saying a word, he turned his head and left, leaving Yu Xiang and her voice in the air

"Tomorrow, I'll leave for Linhai City. ”

The next day, in the hall of the Blood Moon Hall, the people who were introduced by Liu Taoren and received the greetings arrived.

"Without further ado, everyone knows what the situation is now. I'm here. Zhou Zhe picked up a box, opened it and continued: "There are nearly 200 million stocks of nearly 200 million grains, I'm not afraid of you laughing, Xin Chai doesn't have a good vision, and he bought a lot of grain and warehouses in the past few years." Originally, I was going to use it to make wine. ”

"Haha! Mrs. Zun's lucky star shines, we don't have this life. A middle-aged man who looked like a businessman laughed. Others also laughed, it was them, and they were really not stupid enough to buy 200 million catties of grain.

Zhou Zhe waved his hand: "Smile and laugh, now the big guy also knows that grain has a price a day, and if it is transported into Hedong, it will be even more profitable." Before I came this morning, I had already gone to the cities to see the price of rice, and it had risen again. ”

Speaking of business, especially the price of rice, the eyes of the merchants were glowing with gold and caution, and they didn't know what kind of trick this Hou Master was going to play.

"If it continues like this, the price will go up, and it's better for me. Guys, it's time to talk about the price. As you know, I'm in a key position in the internal guard. The latest price sent to Hedong Yuncheng in the morning is one tael of silver and fifty catties. What do you guys think. ”

"Hedong is not as good as the capital, the price is naturally high, Zhongyong Hou, we have a suitable price, what do you think?"

Zhou Zhe shook his hand: "I'm not greedy, so I took out the food in advance to share." However, just because I'm not greedy doesn't mean I don't make money, isn't that the truth? If I set a price, you can buy it if you think it's suitable, and if it's not suitable, you can choose not to buy it. If it really didn't work, I took the trouble to transport the grain to Hedong. As you know, I have convoys, and they're huge. ”

Several businessmen glanced at each other, and they all understood that Zhou Zhe was raising the price, obviously the set they discussed was not good.

"Master Hou, you say, let's listen. ”

Zhou Zhe nodded, took out a few sheets from the box, and said, "This is the grain stored in my Hedong warehouse, about 100 million catties of grain." Most of them are old grains produced in Henan Province the year before last, and the old grains do not increase their stomachs, and everyone knows it, but now, each one is counted as 10 million catties, so let's make a price!"

Hedong, Gyeonggi, and Zhouzhe have the most grain reserves, but the two places are very close, and the price is relatively high.

Although there are now 50 catties of silver for one tael of silver on the market, everyone knows that the grain in Henan Province cannot be transported in, and it is not uncommon for the price to rise to 1 tael of silver and 10 catties.

It is unimaginable that several businessmen who were still gentle and elegant before almost fought for bidding in the end.

200 million catties, and finally sold for 25 million taels of silver, almost without twists and turns, and the transaction was smooth.

Afterwards, Xin Chai crossed Erlang's legs and counted the silver tickets and asked, "Do we want to store some more grain?"

Looking at Xin Chai, who looked like a wealth fan, Zhou Zhe was completely defeated, but she was really right, Tun, of course, but not now.

"Aren't they afraid of losing money when they buy so high?"

Zhou Zhe shook his head: "I don't know, it's up to Lao Ling and Yan Fucheng." ”

"What does it have to do with them?"

Zhou Zhe was helpless, couldn't stand his wife's question, and started a long teaching career, as long as the grain from Star City was transported, all the food in the hands of these guys would be stuck.

"Smack!" Li Chi's big hand slapped the table, and Zhou Zhe in front of the bookcase didn't say a word.

"You're just hiding it from me? Only now did you tell me that there were still hundreds of millions of grain in Longquan Pass?"

Zhou Zhe nodded.

"You sold all the grain in your hand? And now you have shipped it from Longquan? Do you know how many people you have offended?" Li Chi is angry and funny, he really doesn't know how to describe Zhou Zhe. Say he's greedy! But he's greedy enough, and at this time, he didn't forget to deal with his own thunder, saying that he deceived his superiors and subordinates! Yes, but the purpose was to lure the snake out of the hole and catch all those guys who were hoarding and strange.

Zhou Zhe was helpless: "It's important to do something! Otherwise, what will the people of Hedong eat? Anyway, if the grain is transported over and comes forward in the name of His Majesty for disaster relief, they can't say anything." When the time comes, you will rely on Lao Ling's old eyes and dizziness, or my head... ”

Li Chi said angrily: "I want you to teach me how to do things? Go back." ”

Zhou Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, the biggest pass was opened, and it was just a matter of watching the jokes of the relatives and businessmen.

Today's rice price is one tael of silver and one hundred and fifty hundred catties.

Today's rice price is one tael of silver and one hundred catties.

Today's rice price is one tael of silver and eighty catties.

Since leaving the palace, Zhou Zhe has been paying attention to the changes in grain prices every day, and the grain in Xingcheng has begun to be shipped, and they will go directly to Hexi, because there are trade routes of Huazan and Ma Yao, and Ma Dabao's transport team, and then go directly to Hedong.

By the time the merchants gathered the grain they had bought, they had already lost.
