Chapter 259: Acacia Lake
"Let's let go, let go, be careful to touch"
Seven or eight wooden carts with several bags of rice tied to them were walking in the national capital, and many people were talking about this scene when they saw it.
"This is another merchant who came to the capital to sell grain"
"This dress seems to be unique to Xingyuan Commercial Bank"
"It's true, is it true that the grain bought by Xingyuan Commercial Bank has come back?"
Seven or eight wooden carts were parked at the door of the Xingyuan Commercial Bank, and the people carried the grain on the carts inside.
"Oops" A subordinate slipped his hand, the rice bag on his shoulder fell to the ground, and a lot of grain was spilled at the neckline, and a white flower was blooming.
"It's food"
Seeing this, the eyes of the surrounding people widened, and joy welled up on their faces, these are rice, not sand.
Last time, there was a rumor that Xingyuan Commercial Bank did not buy food, and used sand to disguise it as rice, which made people panic.
Although Xingyuan Commercial Bank neither admitted nor denied it, it had not sold grain for a long time, and for the people, they believed that it was sand.
Now that the people have seen the grain with their own eyes, they are relieved and relieved.
"When will Xingyuan Commercial Bank open and will the price of grain rise?"
With the words of the people, many people knew that Xingyuan Commercial Bank had obtained food.
Many people came to know when Xingyuan Commercial Bank would open for business.
"Folks, our lord knows that there is a food crisis in the national capital, and many people can't afford to buy food, so our lord deliberately went to a lot of places to buy these grains."
"Please also rest assured that our Xingyuan Commercial Bank will never sell grain at a high price, and will definitely make every person afford to eat food."
"These grains are only a small part, more is still to come, tomorrow Xingyuan Commercial Bank officially opened, and I hope everyone will have more cheers at that time."
"The boss is a good man, we will definitely come to buy food"
"Yes, that's right, we'll only go to the boss to buy food"
"Thank you, folks"
……
"You've heard that the boss of Xingyuan Commercial Bank has bought a lot of grain, and it will open tomorrow."
"Really? It's not going to be sand again."
"How could it be, we saw with our own eyes, it's all white rice, and I heard that the boss Guan wants to sell it to us at a flat price this time."
"It's so nice to be in charge of the boss, thanks to the boss, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do"
"Master, it's not good, Xingyuan Commercial Bank has bought grain, it has been shipped to the national capital, and it will open tomorrow, and the price is estimated to be no more than ten cents."
After learning the news, the housekeeper immediately told Zhong Zhi (Ouyang Lun).
"Impossible"
Zhong Zhen (Ouyang Theory) was shocked, he had already inquired, and there was no extra grain to sell in the surrounding cities.
Food from farther afield, not to mention the priority of providing food to the disaster area, and the distance is long, and it is impossible to be in the national capital in a month.
Zhong Zhen (Ouyang Theory) doubted that this was Guan Xin's strategy, and he deliberately did this, which was to force the two major commercial houses to sell grain at a low price.
It's not the first time Guan Xin has done this kind of thing, if it wasn't for Zhong Zhen to keep an eye on it last time, he would have been calculated by Guan Xin.
"Master, it's true, many people have seen that the bag is filled with grain, and this is the first batch" The housekeeper frowned and worried.
"Go, all the grain will be sold for ten cents"
Zhong Zhen (Ouyang Theory) didn't have time to think, and while Xingyuan Commercial Bank had not yet opened, he would sell more grain and sell more.
When Xingyuan Commercial Bank opens tomorrow, it will be a big loss if you want to sell it at that time.
Hearing the people discussing the purchase of grain by Xingyuan Commercial Bank, Yun Xuan knew that this food war was coming to an end.
"Change the price of grain to 10 cents"
Yun Xuan wants to force these two firms, as long as they are forced to have no way out today, then the pressure on Xingyuan firms will be a little less tomorrow.
"Let's go, the grain from the merchant over there is only ten cents, let's not buy it here"
Originally, there were many people buying grain in front of the two major commercial houses, but when they heard that the grain sold by Yunxuan was cheaper, they all ran away.
"Let's go, I heard that Changjing Commercial Bank (Debao Commercial Bank) only costs nine cents for grain, which is cheaper, let's go there to buy it"
Soon, the two major trading houses lowered the price of grain, and the people went to them to buy grain.
Yun Xuan didn't care, he didn't revise the price, and Yun Xuan didn't even want these people to come to buy food.
Under the Wuting Bridge, there are two distinguished people playing chess here.
"Looks like you've miscalculated," said the man with the white chess.
"I was supposed to give it a try, where did I miscalculate?" The man with the black chess piece smiled slightly.
"How about adding a fire," said the man with the white chess.
"I'm going to give a yellow invitation," said the man with the black chess.
The man holding the white chess shook his fingers, and then continued to play chess, but he didn't expect such a high parity for this Yun Xuan.
Over the years, there have not been many yellow invitations sent out by Xiaoxiangyuan, and each of them is a big man who can stir up the situation.
Yun Xuan didn't know that he had been targeted, and now he was still lying on top of the carriage, enjoying himself.
"Ah Huan, have you ever seen Liu Hanyan?"
The woman is such a miraculous creature, she has not seen her for a few days, and she misses it very much.
"No, is Your Highness missing Miss Liu?"
Ah Huan grew up in the palace since he was a child, and has been living in Xiayuan Palace, and the farthest place he has been to is estimated to be Changxing Palace.
And Liu Hanyan rarely comes to Changxing Palace, so Ah Huan didn't have a chance to see Liu Hanyan himself, but he had heard of this name.
After all, Liu Hanyan is Yun Xuan's fiancée, and it's hard to know if you don't know.
What do you say about this question?
I don't miss Liu Hanyan very much, but I'm very interested in her best friend.
"Ah Huan, I have something to tell you"
Wisps of multicolored sunlight penetrate the layers of leaves and fall to the ground, forming a dazzling golden spot that moves with the wind.
In the courtyard of a luxurious mansion, the faint fragrance of plants and trees quietly fills the air and wafts around.
Colorful flowers, competing to bloom. The petals are bright and fragrant.
Not far away, there is a gazebo, under which sits a stunning beauty, wearing a light crimson embroidered skirt, shaved shoulders and a thin waist, and her figure is eye-catching.
Looking at the scenery in the courtyard, there is a smile in the corner of his eyes.
"Miss, there's a girl looking for you outside" At this time, Kumquat came over.
Looking at Miss's stupid appearance, Kumquat shook her head, Miss was hopeless, fell in love, and couldn't extricate herself.
"Girl? Let her in," Liu Hanyan raised his eyebrows.
"Miss, she won't come in, let you go out to meet her" Kumquat also encountered such a situation once.
Liu Hanyan pondered for a while and said, "Let's go."
"Are you looking for me" Liu Hanyan walked out of the mansion and looked at a little girl standing at the door.
"Miss Liu, I'm here to thank you," Ah Huan said, turning around.
If Yun Xuan hadn't told Ah Huan, Ah Huan wouldn't have known that the people who helped him lived in Liufu last time on the Xiaotaibai Festival.
"You are?" Liu Hanyan was stunned for a moment, there was no impression of Ah Huan in his mind, and he didn't know how to thank him?
"It's me, the masked maid at the last Little Taibai Festival," Ah Bi said.
"Ah Huan" Liu Hanyan remembered that he helped a little girl wearing a mask at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to be Xuan Gongzi's maid.
Since learning that Xuan Gongzi was the fourth prince, Liu Hanyan knew that the maid of that day was called Ah Huan.
"How do you know my name" Ah Huan was surprised, he didn't seem to tell her his name, could it be that His Highness said it.
Liu Hanyan knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly changed the topic: "Did you come to me for something?" ”
"Miss Liu, my son-in-law wants to see you" Ah Huan then remembered that Yun Xuan wanted to see Miss Liu.
"Xuan Gongzi?" Liu Hanyan's eyes lit up, and his face was full of smiles, like a blooming flower.
"Miss Liu come with me" Ah Huan led the way in front, and Liu Hanyan followed behind, excited in his heart.
Just when Liu Hanyan turned the corner, a familiar voice came.
"This girl, I see that you are very beautiful, I like you very much, why don't you find a place, let's sit down and talk slowly"
I don't know where to find a hat to put on his head, Yun Xuan's body is leaning against the wall, his hands are on the back of his head, and he has a weed in his mouth.
"Yun Gongzi" Liu Hanyan looked at Yun Xuan with a shy face, his eyes were full of smiles, at this moment, Liu Hanyan had been looking forward to it for a long time.
"I want to see you, let's go for a walk together" Yun Xuan grinned, and then stretched out his hand.
Liu Hanyan's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was a little shy, his delicate face was dyed with a touch of red, he lowered his head, and a pair of slender and crystalline jade hands nervously grabbed the corners of his clothes.
There are also outsiders here, ashamed to death.
Yun Xuan laughed, then took the initiative to hold Liu Xi's jade hand, and then said hello to Ah Huan and Kumquat, so that they didn't have to follow, and they would send Liu Hanyan back later.
The breeze is kind, the trees are dappled, the wide water is sparkling, and there are many boats swimming slowly on the lake.
It is a branch of the Mother River of the national capital, and is popular with young men and women, and boats can often be seen swimming on the lake, and men and women are laughing.
Yun Xuan rented a boat and took Liu Hanyan to enjoy a good time together.
"I didn't expect there to be such an interesting place in the national capital"
This place was the first time Yun Xuan had come here, and if it hadn't been for the fact that he had seen a few men and women rent a boat, Yun Xuan wouldn't have known that this lake could be played at will.
"This is called Acacia Lake, the scenery is good, and it is deeply liked by Miss Childe"
Liu Hanyan has been to this place before, especially when the sun sets, the sky is full of sunset, which is particularly beautiful.
Acacia Lake, it is estimated that there is a touching story behind the name, no wonder so many men and women take a boat here to enjoy the scenery.
"Yes, I'll have to come back a few more times in the future."
Wait until one day when you have time, bring Liu Hanyan, Liu Xi, and Qinglian all over, and rent a big boat, how can it be described by a cool word.
Liu Hanyan lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, Yun Xuan's words were naked.
Acacia Lake also has another name, that is, Love Lake.
The breeze is gentle, and more than a dozen boats are reflected on the lake, driving slowly.
"Big brother, I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter, we still don't want to sell food"
In the past few days, Zhong Xiu has been thinking about why the price of grain has fallen again and again.
Most of the grain in the national capital was bought by Changjing Commercial Bank and Debao Commercial Bank, and they couldn't be hoarded, but why would there always be people who had grain to sell for some reason.
And they are constantly lowering prices, and if they want to make money, they should raise their prices like the two major trading houses.
Zhong Xiu couldn't figure it out, and always felt that there was an invisible hand behind him, controlling everything.
"If we don't buy food, we will go bankrupt, and tomorrow Xingyuan Commercial Bank will open, and their price will definitely not exceed ten cents, maybe it will be lower."
"And that non-local businessman, in a few days, more and more non-local businessmen will go to the national capital to sell grain"
"When the time comes, our new rice will become old rice, and old rice will become moldy rice, how will we deal with millions of grains?"
"But big brother, I always feel that someone is scheming against us behind our backs, and we should take a gamble."
Intuition told Zhong Xiu that when food prices were lowered, someone must be behind the calculation of the two major trading houses.
"Okay, I've made up my mind, and I'm in charge of the firm. Tomorrow, no matter how much he sells for Xingyuan Commercial Bank, I will be a penny lower than him," Zhong said angrily.
