After a whole morning of purchases, Su Yu's servants and soldiers have completely purchased the bulk grain from the capital of Beishan County into their own arms.

The price of a load of new rice ranges from about 20 to 30 silver coins.

In one morning, the bulk grain purchased alone added up to more than 30,000 loads, and more than 6,000 gold coins were spent in one morning.

Su Yu bought a few particularly large carriages and instructed Yang Mingwei to send a part of the soldiers to send this batch of grain back to Heishi County first.

By the way, Su Yu asked these soldiers to inform Gao Shun and Sunan to personally drive the airship over, and the food that Su Yu was going to buy next was not just more than 30,000 loads.

Subsequently, Su Yu asked people to continue to collect grain in the city, regardless of whether the price fluctuated or not!

The sun was gradually rising, and noon had arrived, and dozens of shopkeepers of the grain shops in the capital came one after another.

Su Yu personally received these shopkeepers and brought them to the hall of the annex.

The servants served fragrant tea, and Su Yu and these shopkeepers exchanged polite greetings, and then went straight to the point.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thanks to your discussion of coming to the Humble House to discuss business, I won't talk nonsense. ”

Su Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said, "I want the grain in your hands, and the price is negotiable." ”

Yang Mingwei stood behind Su Yu, waiting for orders at any time.

When these shopkeepers heard Su Yu's words, they looked at each other and exchanged a meaningful look with each other.

Sure enough, as the county keeper expected, this Lord of Blackstone County wanted to buy a large amount of grain through them!

"My lord, don't you know, a few days ago, Beishan County was hit by a disaster, and the price of food in this city has been rising......

A shopkeeper coughed and said to Su Yu.

"Oh, the price of food has risen due to the disaster, and I understand that, I can give you an extra 30% of the price. ”

Su Yu said indifferently.

Thirty percent more than the market price is enough to tempt these businessmen.

However, to Su Yu's surprise, most of these businessmen's expressions were hesitant and silent.

"Not enough? I'll give you another fifty percent of the price. ”

Su Yu frowned slightly, took a sip of tea, and said indifferently.

"This ...... Tell me the truth, my lord, the food in the hands of our people is all life-saving food, and it is really difficult to sell it!"

A shopkeeper said with an excuse.

"Yes, my lord, nine out of ten of the grains in this Beishan County are in our hands, if these grains are sold, what if there is another disaster!"

"Yes, we can't sit idly by and watch the people go without food!"

These shopkeepers all looked heavy and sighed slightly, looking worried about the country and the people.

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Some profiteers are still pretending to be loyal to me here, if the grain merchants in other areas may still worry about the people, but the merchants in Beishan County will definitely not!

Because Beishan County is notoriously short of food in the whole empire!

The grain merchants here all have the purpose of making money.

These shopkeepers deliberately excused themselves, one by one, they just wanted to find excuses and take the opportunity to raise the price!

Since these businessmen dare to negotiate conditions with Su Yu, who is a nobleman, so blatantly, there must be someone behind them!

Su Yu thought about it for a while, and knew that these businessmen must have Liu Junshou behind them, otherwise they would not have such courage.

All this is Liu Junshou's means to restrain himself.

Just as Su Yu sneered and was about to scold and reject these merchants, Su Yu's heart suddenly moved.

Su Yu felt that the [Astronomical Compass] in the lord's backpack was slightly glowing, and it actually activated the effect of predicting the future on its own?

Su Yu frowned, was silent, opened the lord's backpack in the sea of knowledge, and observed the [Astronomical Compass] with his divine thoughts.

I saw wisps of mysterious and abnormal golden symbols slowly floating on the heavenly compass, and a golden ray shot out from the astronomical compass and submerged into Su Yu's divine thoughts.

A piece of news about the future turned into words and images, and appeared in Su Yu's mind.

Su Yu's expression was slightly stunned, and then his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a strange smile.

The news detected by this astronomical compass is so timely!

The shopkeepers in the hall saw that Su Yu was silent, and they were originally worried.

But as soon as they thought of Liu Junshou's order, these people still planned to grit their teeth and pit Su Yu to the end!

"My lord, if you have nothing else to do, I'll take my leave. ”

A shopkeeper stood up and began to change direction to put pressure on Su Yu.

Do you still want to buy it?

If you don't buy it, we're gone!

The attitude of these grain merchants is very tough!

Su Yu smiled, his smile was very bright, and he didn't look angry at all.

Su Yu waved his hand and said softly: "Sit, everyone sit, don't be in a hurry to leave, we can discuss the price of grain." ”

The grain merchants glanced at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Liu Junshou was really right, but this lord of Blackstone County was very short of food!

"I don't know, how much does the lord plan to pay for our grain?"

One of the shopkeepers asked impatiently, with a distinct smile on his face.

"You make a price, the master doesn't know the market very well. ”

Su Yu said with a smile, with a slight meaning in his words.

"Okay, my lord, you also know that Beishan County was hit by a disaster a few days ago, and we originally planned to join forces to go to other places to purchase food, but the road in Beishan County is very steep, and it is far away from other counties......

One of the shopkeepers looked happy, coughed, and began to slowly lay the groundwork.

"Don't be verbose, just tell me the price. ”

Su Yu waved his hand and interrupted him indifferently.

"This ...... My lord, what do you think of ten gold?"

The shopkeeper licked his dry lips, smiled playfully, and said slowly to Su Yu.

Su Yu bought bulk grain at a premium in the morning, and the most expensive one was only thirty silver coins!

And this ** businessman actually opened his mouth for ten gold! This is 33 times more expensive than the average market price!

Black!

The hearts of these businessmen are so black!

Su Yu was silent, playing with the teacup in his hand, and squinting slightly at the group of grain merchants.

"Food is more expensive than gold after the disaster, and I guess the lord has heard this sentence too. ”

A shopkeeper couldn't stand the silence and explained with a smile.

"I know, but I have a little doubt, and I hope you can answer it. ”

Su Yu said indifferently: "Beishan County was weaker last year, and the average price of grain was ten silver per quintal, this morning I received a lot of grain at the price of thirty silver coins per quintal, why did it increase thirty-three times in the afternoon? Could it be that the grain in Beishan County is made of gold?"

In other counties, the price of grain in other counties is calculated according to copper coins per load under normal times! Only in disaster years is it calculated according to the price of silver coins!

The grain in Beishan County is already much more expensive than other counties, but these people still dare to raise the price frantically, obviously wanting to slaughter Su Yu!

“......”

A group of shopkeepers were silent, and then one of them stood up and said to Su Yu: "I don't understand what the lord says, buying and selling is something you and I are happy to do, since the lord thinks it's expensive, then we will leave." ”

"Farewell!"

"Lord, farewell!"

A group of shopkeepers stood up again, threatening Su Yu again.

Su Yu sighed, if it weren't for the news that the astronomical compass had just given, he really wanted to blow up these merchants and drive the airship to other counties to buy grain.

But now, Su Yu has changed his mind.

Not only does he have to buy these sky-high grains!

And it's going to be a big deal!

I bought a grain in the capital of Beishan County, and there was not a single grain of grain!

"Everyone, stay here. ”

Su Yu said indifferently and opened his mouth to stay.

The faces of the shopkeepers were happy, and then they changed their arrogant expressions, turned around one after another, and asked, "Lord Lord, when is it left?"

"Ten gold and one load, I'll buy it. ”

Su Yu said lightly.

"Really?"

A shopkeeper's face was happy, and before he could speak, another cunning shopkeeper suddenly grabbed him, smiled and whispered: "Lord Lord, I don't know, if you want to buy all of our food, I am afraid that the price will rise a little more, at least fifteen gold a load!"

The other people's faces froze, this companion is even more ruthless than himself!

I actually have to take the opportunity to increase the price!

This is simply bullying Su Yu's head!
