Chapter 121: There is no food in the world

The torrential rain in the capital made the grain merchants crazy.

The autumn harvest is approaching, and the storage cost of the granary has increased after the heavy rains, and now the flood has not receded, which means that ...... The grain in the barn can be moldy at any time.

In this case, the best way out is to sell the grain immediately for real money.

But then again, everyone wants to sell, but there are very few people who buy grain, and even if the price is lowered, there are only a few people who ask about it.

After all, ordinary people can buy a few dozen catties of grain and go back, but if you want to buy in large quantities, you have to have a barn.

But on the contrary, those who have barns are all landlords, and the landlords themselves have a large amount of grain hoarding, and people don't want to buy grain at all, they just want to ship.

As a result, the price of grain in the capital plummeted.

Everyone hurriedly thought left and right, and the result was ......

Hey, isn't there a ready-made wrongdoer here?

Zhang's family.

The Zhang family has been collecting grain in a high-profile manner, which is obvious to all.

Although I know that after this catastrophe, maybe the Zhang family wants to sell all the grain they have, but ...... Either way, it's good to try your luck.

So outside the hundred households, a lot of grain merchants came.

Everyone took a look...... Good guy, it turns out that everyone grabbed such a wool from the Zhang family.

As a result, everyone's minds began to get nervous, for fear of being taken over.

In fact, how did they know, Zhang Jing knew early on that several grain-producing areas in the world were about to usher in an unprecedented disaster!

This catastrophe directly gave birth to countless displaced people, and a large number of land particles were not harvested.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, it can even be said to be the beginning of the chaos of the entire Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Zhang Jingyi still met with the grain merchant.

The first to come was a businessman named Wu Wenlong, who smiled and saluted Zhang Jing, and said, "I heard that the Zhang family wants to collect grain......

Zhang Jingyi looked at him, waved his hand and said, "Who doesn't know that the price of grain outside has plummeted now, and everyone is selling grain?" Our Zhang family still has 100,000 stone grain, and I plan to sell it, at this time you want to sell grain, isn't this a joke? ”

Wu Wenlong's face darkened.

Groove ...... The Zhang family has hoarded so much grain, if the Zhang family sells this grain again, then ......

His mind was dazed, if this was the case, it would mean ...... Food prices are only afraid that they will continue to plummet.

Zhang Jingyi immediately said: "However, if you want to collect it, it is not impossible to collect it, I heard that the price of grain in the capital has plummeted from two taels to one or two cents, hey, even if I come to collect this grain now, you can talk about it, one or two taels of silver, I am not stupid to accept it?" Who in the world doesn't know that this grain will fall? If it falls like this, the devil knows what the price will be. ”

At this moment, Wu Wenlong seemed to have seized the opportunity.

Zhang Jingyi is right, in fact, food prices have been plummeting.

What's even more terrifying is that the Zhang family is now also a figure who can affect the price of grain, after all, if the 100,000 stone of grain in hand is really sold, the price of grain ...... I'm afraid I don't know where it has fallen.

Now the market is more worried that a new batch of grain will appear after the autumn harvest in the future, and the cost of grain storage will also increase significantly.

At least in their opinion, the price of this grain will certainly not rise within this year, and in the coming year, the grain in this granary will become old grain, and it will not be able to sell at a price.

"Zhang Baihu, you can make a price." Wu Wenlong's face ached, and he paused and said, "How much do you say?" ”

At this time, there is no other way except for the strong man to break his wrist.

There are still a lot of grain merchants waiting outside.

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "Six coins of silver and one stone......"

"What?" Wu Wenlong was shocked, he thought that he would give eight or nine coins of silver, six coins, this is a robbery!

Zhang Jingyi said calmly: "Although it is now one or two dollars of silver, you also know that this is retail!" Nowadays, can we sell grain through retail? I am a good man, and I do good deeds before I receive food. Otherwise, you wait and see, the price of this grain will plummet, and there are so many people who want to sell grain, if you don't sell it, I will find someone else. ”

Wu Wenlong: "......"

Zhang Jingyi had an indifferent expression on her face, picked up the teacup and said, "Send off." ”

"Wait." Wu Wenlong gritted his teeth and said, "How about eight yuan, it can't be lower." ”

He said with a sad face: "To tell the truth, if I sell eight dollars, I have lost all my money, and if it is six dollars, I really have to hang myself." ”

Zhang Jingyi admired his expression: "Seven coins, but ...... You have to promise me one condition, you have to transport this grain to my granary in Changping, that is to say, you have to bear the transportation. ”

Wu Wenlong had already calculated in his heart.

He didn't know how far food prices would fall next.

Now it is expected that the grain price of the rice shop may reach one or two stones, but the rice shop is retail after all, and now there is no large-scale buyer to eat.

Seven coins must be a blood loss, but at least ...... You can also leave a principal.

There is a way, stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood!

Thinking about it like this, Wu Wenlong's heart felt a little better, and he fixed his mind: "How much do you want?" ”

Zhang Jing said: "I will give you as much as you ship." ”

"Really?" Wu Wenlong's eyes lit up, he was a big grain merchant, so he was worried that there was no buyer.

Zhang Jingyi said with certainty: "It's true." However, as the old saying goes, the Zhang family has no cash now, and the new batch of shops has not been sold yet......"

"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Wenlong said diligently: "As long as you leave a note, can you not trust Zhang Baihu?" ”

Zhang Jingyi smiled happily: "Brother Wu is really a good person." I heard that Brother Wu has a great relationship with Tobe Shangshu? ”

"This ......" Wu Wenlong's face changed.

At this time, he suddenly realized that he almost forgot that Zhang Jingyi was not only wronged, but also a hundred households in Jinyi.

I'm afraid that his name has long been registered in the brocade guard.

Wu Wen pretended to be calm and said: "Haha...... This is a rumor, and it is not to be believed. ”

In fact, Zhang Jing found out the bottom of the big grain merchants in the capital early on.

Regarding the relationship between Wu Wenlong and Hubu Shangshu, he was also skeptical at first.

But when Wu Wenlong came to him, Zhang Jingyi could be convinced.

Everyone knows that the Zhang family's silver is gone, although the Zhang family still has a lot of assets, let the Zhang family make a note, they dare to sell the grain to Zhang Jingyi, this is by no means an ordinary businessman dares to decide.

After all, the Zhang family is a Jinyiwei person, what if they owe money and don't pay it back?

But Wu Wenlong dared to take credit, of course, because he was very confident, and he was not afraid that the Zhang family would not pay back the money, and he was behind his back...... There must be a behemoth, which is enough to ensure that even if the Zhang family smashes the pot and sells iron, they can pay back the money they owe.

Zhang Jingyi immediately snorted: "Yes, people outside still rumor that I Zhang Jingyi is a fool, can this be believed?" You are right, the rumors in the market are the most unbelievable, and if this is the case, then it is a certainty. ”

Wu Wenlong was busy saying goodbye.

Immediately afterward, another grain merchant came to the door.

And none of these grain merchants who dared to do business with the Zhang family, and even dared to let Zhang Jing empty his gloves and white wolves, were fuel-efficient lamps.

Zhang Jingyi has been in the past few hours, but he doesn't know how many families have been negotiated, everyone has an agreement, seven coins of silver and one stone, how much to collect, and the grain will be directly transported to the land of the Zhang family in Changping.

And Zhang Jingyi tried his best to let people build more barns, Changping has an advantage, that is where the imperial tomb is located, in fact, it is also an excellent place to store grain, after all, the terrain is high, not afraid of flooding, the biggest risk of storing grain at the moment is damp.

As for transportation, it's also a trifle.

Because transportation may not be convenient in other places, but the land of the Zhang family is close to the Ming Tomb.

For the convenience of the sacrifice, the emperor's need to sacrifice to the ancestors, from the capital to the Ming Tomb, is to build the Shinto, this Shinto is built with the highest specifications, regardless of the cost.

It can be said that ...... This is almost the best road in the world, and if it is placed in the future, it is equivalent to a two-way 24-lane fully enclosed highway.

Of course, Shinto is not something that everyone can walk, but Zhang Jingyi believes that these grain merchants can have a way, and those who dare to buy and sell large quantities of grain in the capital, God knows who is behind them.

Everything was negotiated.

So much so that in a grain sale, in Zhang Jingyi's opinion, he seemed to be doing charity, receiving other people's food at the lowest price, and he could see the other party's relieved and grateful look.

So what's next...... It is to prepare for the storage of a large amount of food.

To Zhang Jingyi's satisfaction, these grain merchants are very efficient.

The next day, a steady stream of grain trucks began to set off from Beitongzhou or the southern suburbs of the capital, and an endless stream of grain trucks rushed to Changping non-stop.

It was also at this time that the edict of the new county was finally issued.

The efficiency of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is also very high, Zhang Jingyi took office as the county commander of the new county, and as for the county officials, the chief bookkeeper, the warden, etc., the appointment of the unified unit.

Of course, another piece of music was released, and the ten-grade official system was approved.

If the prefectural order and the prefectural officer are equivalent to the main or deputy department, it is probably ...... In fact, it is confirmed that within the new county, section-level officials are allowed, which is absolutely unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty.

The candidate for the county is Lu Xiangsheng, and immediately afterward, Zhang Jing began to rank the mayors of the streets and alleys.

At this moment, the scribes and military officials up and down the entire Qingping Fang went crazy.

These were originally just children, but after being recruited by Zhang Jingyi for a living, they are now the mayors of the streets and alleys, or the heads of the counties, but they never thought that they could also be officials.

Of course, this is an official who can't even enter the top ten grades, but for a person who doesn't even show talent, this is the ancestral accumulation of virtue, and the ancestral tomb is smoking.

Therefore, the clean-up of Tianqiaofang, as well as the post-disaster epidemic prevention work, suddenly became in full swing.
