Chapter 23: New Super Fast Growing Farm (22)
After Ding Yun made a deal with the household department, the household department was worried that she would not be able to carry it out smoothly, so it did not immediately notify the other grain merchants, until she transported the first batch of grain in place, which was enough to ensure that there was no shortage of grain for the next three months, and the household department directly notified the grain merchants who had previously transported the grain.
After informing them, they will not need to carry food.
This year's salt is gone.
They do whatever they like.
Stay cool!
It can be said that this news is really like a thunderstorm, almost did not send those grain merchants away directly on the spot, and after they collapsed and reluctantly accepted this information, one by one they wanted to cry without tears and kept asking what was going on, it was a bribe, and they were willing to reduce the price.
However, what has been decided above is so easy to change, not to mention that the price provided by Ding Yun is still so low, so low that no one can compete with her at all.
So no matter how much they bribe the request.
It's all useless.
At most, some officials on the household side will give them some specific information, telling them who is competing with them for orders and other people's grain quotations.
However, after learning about these things.
They collapsed even more.
Because how is this price possible, if the grain is sold at this price, they can basically guarantee that there will be no loss after removing the freight, plus the freight.
Bottoms have to be lost!
In this day and age, freight is really expensive, not to mention the loss of all kinds of grain in the transportation process.
But those grain merchants who learned the specific news.
No matter how angry you are, you can only accept it temporarily, and then you can quickly hold a meeting in the capital to discuss what to do, and is there any way to deal with it?
……
Beijing, the suburbs of Lijia Villa, in the main hall.
The dozen or so responsible persons who had been supplying food to the military department were all gathered together at this time, and their faces were not only ugly, but their moods were extremely depressed.
"You should know the details.
Today, let's stop blaming each other and blaming a certain party, there is only one point of urgency at the moment, that is, what should we do, you know, losing the business of the military department is a small matter, and most importantly, losing this business, we will no longer be able to get salt leads.
There are only two channels for obtaining salt, either directly with money to buy, or with the qualification to buy grain, at the beginning, we gave up buying directly with money because of many food channels, but chose to exchange grain for purchase qualifications, and then each with their ability, transport grain in exchange.
This approach has been going on for hundreds of years.
Those families who have always been using money to buy salt have long been together, and it is very difficult to get a little more share internally, let alone fight with them.
So we only have one way now.
That is, we must try to regain the business of the military department.
Otherwise, the private salt we hoard in our hands will not be able to sell it outside without salt introduction.
Once discovered, it is a catastrophe.
Now, you all talk about what you think. ”
Li Hong, the person in charge of the Li family, quickly pointed out the various key points of this matter and asked everyone to come up with ideas.
For these families, salt is very important, but what they value is not the bit of salt that they can receive, they fancy that they are qualified to sell salt outside, and only when they are qualified to sell can they adulterate and adulterate sand into the official salt, and they can secretly sell private salt outside in addition to selling official salt.
In this way, as long as the up and down points are in place, everyone will turn a blind eye, and someone can use salt to cover it up.
You say I sell illicit salt, but I have salt to lead.
Some of them are sold as official salt, so why sell private salt?
Although everyone knows that the profits from selling illicit salt are definitely far higher than those of official salt, these people sell official salt on the surface.
In private, the private salt business is basically indispensable.
But if people have salt leads, it means that they are covered with a layer of skin, and unless the evidence is conclusive, or the backing officials above have fallen, it is difficult to pinch them.
But if there is no salt to induce this skin.
No matter how much they dare to sell illicit salt, not to mention that the officials above will not shelter them, even those salt merchants who have salt in their hands will not let them go, after all, if they sell more illicit salt, others will sell less and make less money.
In the past, everyone had salt and couldn't help it.
Now that you don't have it, who are you going to do if you don't it?
Therefore, Qiao Mu's operation can be regarded as really hitting the point, and the other party has to take off a layer of skin if he doesn't die.
"What the ancients said is true, no wonder they always say that the most poisonous woman's heart, this woman named Ding Yun is so vicious at a young age, she is still a Taoist priest.
Let's just do it and keep it.
Send someone to kill her......"
As soon as Li Hong's words fell, there was immediately a grain merchant on the side who gritted his teeth and said hate, as the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing his parents, so it is reasonable for him to have such hatred and evil intentions.
"Who can guarantee that she is the real person behind the scenes, kill her, maybe another person will come out to preside over it soon, don't you really think that such a big business is made by a mere fourteen or fifteen-year-old woman, this kind of thing, who believes it?
If you want me to say, this matter is really troublesome, because neither of us knows what the real background of the other party is.
If you think about it, where is the price of grain in all parts of the country now, no matter how much we squeeze it, the purchase price will not be much lower than the selling price she sold to the military department, not to mention that we have to transport grain to the borders of all parts of the country, and it can be said that we will lose a lot if we sell it for one catty.
There are a few of us that can afford to lose money.
If we let us do this, with our family's background, who can support it for a long time, not to mention that she is still transporting food to the disaster area to provide relief.
and selling grain at low prices in major grain stores.
It can be said that the things she has done seem to be basically not profitable, or even have been losing money, except for us, which is really outrageous.
So who has such a big capital to do this?
In addition, we have been investigating for a long time, but we have not been able to find out where her food is produced or purchased, which is also a very strange thing.
For there must be a place for the grain to be planted, and she cannot plant it in the sea, or in the water, or in the heavens.
These two things if you can't figure it out.
I'm afraid we're going to be very passive all the time. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Yu paused and said:
"And don't forget, Your Majesty just summoned that Ding Yun some time ago, if she was just summoned some time ago, she was assassinated and killed in two days.
Who can guarantee that His Majesty will not delve into it.
So now, it's best not to use those shady methods, and only confronting her head-on is our only way to break the game. ”
"That's right.
But what do we have to contend with her?
She has already pushed the price of food so low that we can only push down the business of retaking the military headquarters even lower, but if it is so low, I am afraid that even if we invest all the profits from selling smuggled salt.
It is also estimated that it will be difficult to fill the shortfall.
She's clearly trying to force us to die. ”
Some people are calm, and naturally some people are not so calm.
Even the mood is extremely irritable.
But as soon as he finished roaring, another rather old man next to him said very calmly:
"I wonder if we're overthinking.
Maybe the other party is waiting for us to mess with ourselves.
Think about it, since none of us can afford to sell grain at such a low price and transport it to the frontiers, how can she afford it, or even if she can afford it in a short time, how long can it last?
Maybe as long as we are a little impatient and wait for a few months, she will not be able to hold on any longer, and even if she wants to raise the price at that time, the court will not allow it.
At that time, she was the unlucky one.
In addition, we can also take advantage of this opportunity to find ways to collect more food, I still don't believe that most of the food on the market is under our control, and if we don't sell it, the affordable grain store can still support it! ”
