Chapter 173: Just in the Future
Zhao Hanzhang used gold, silver and glass to buy a large amount of grain at a price one percent higher than the market price, and Chai County Ling was stunned when he heard the news, "What is she buying so much grain for?" No, she ...... I brought soldiers and horses, why did I buy grain at a high price? Shouldn't prices be lowered? ”
Chang Ning: "I'm afraid no one wants to sell grain at this high price, right?" ”
Yes, at this time, it was already winter, Yingchuan on the south side of Runan was affected, and the Xiongnu army was fighting Luoyang and Yuzhou, and the price of grain outside had risen like crazy.
Although the grain price in Runan County is still stable, it is also because the autumn harvest has just ended, and after a while, due to the influence of the outside, the grain price in Runan will definitely soar.
No matter how bad it is, if they form a caravan and transport the grain out, they can also make a lot of money, which is not just a rise of one or two percent, but a double or two times the rise.
However, Zhao Hanzhang's man who claimed to be 3,000 soldiers and horses was outside the city, and no one dared not sell them.
Fortunately, she still has a little conscience, and the grain she wants to buy is divided evenly among several families, although it will still make them feel painful, but it will not empty their grain depot, and they can still seize the opportunity to earn a sum in the future.
So they gritted their teeth and sold.
For Zhao Hanzhang's seemingly generous initiative to raise a price that is one percent higher than the market price, the gentry and wealthy businessmen think they are rare?
In particular, the grain merchants in Shangcai County are now controlling the amount of grain they sell every day, just to save more grain for the future, which is not uncommon for them to be 10% higher than the market price.
But what they are most afraid of doing business is a hooligan like Zhao Hanzhang, who can't be reasoned, they can only consider themselves unlucky.
When Zhao Hanzhang paid to pull away the grain, they immediately went to the county government to find Chai County Ling to complain.
It's okay to come once or twice like this, but it can't last long, otherwise they won't be able to live their lives?
The Chai County Commander wanted to hide, but he couldn't dodge, and he was blocked by the county office, so he could only sit down and listen to their complaints.
"If you want to say that you have the most land, who in the entire Shangcai County can compare to her Zhao Sanniang? As a result, she even had to force us to buy our food, county magistrate, you are a parent official, you can't ignore this matter. ”
"Yes, their Zhao family has already covered the sky in Xiping, is this still the master of Cai? It's too domineering! ”
"yes, it's too domineering!"
Che Xian Ling leaned his forehead on the low table, and sighed: "I'm helpless, this deal has been completed, how can I judge what you are willing to do?" ”
Everyone became excited, "Why are you willing to do it?" County Jun, her 3,000 soldiers and horses are outside the city, do I dare to say that I won't sell them? ”
Che County Order: "Keer didn't look for me before the business was completed, and she didn't buy it at a lower price, she also offered a higher price than the market price." ”
Speaking of this Chai County Order, he was confused, and asked suspiciously: "If she lowers the price of grain, it can be said that she is forced to buy, but she has a higher price than the market price, anyway, you all have to sell grain, who is it not sold to?" ”
He asked, "Why don't you want to sell it to her?" ”
The crowd was silent.
Chang Ning lifted his eyelids and glanced at them, and waited until they were choked away by the Chai County Order before explaining to the Chai County Order, "They are hoarding." ”
Although the Chai County Order is not very smart, but the ability to understand is there, and when he hears it, he understands it, and his face is red with anger for a while, "At this time, I still want to hoard Juqi, it is difficult enough for Shangcai County this year, and if they raise the price of grain, how many people will be left in my county next year?" ”
After speaking, he became sad again, "Zhao Sanniang bought so much grain from Shangcai at once, and the price of our food in Shangcai will not rise higher and faster in the future, right?" ”
Chang Ning said: "The county monarch can think of a way to make them dare not control grain prices." ”
"What's the solution?"
Chang Ning said: "It's better to take advantage of Zhao Hanzhang's shareholder style, take the opportunity to buy some grain with them to fill the grain depot, and this autumn tax, in fact, we can only hand over part of it, and find some reason to deduct the other part, and wait until the winter and the next February and March of the next year when the green and yellow are not available, which can stabilize prices." ”
Chang Ning said demagoguously: "In this way, not only will the people benefit from the high grain prices, but the county magistrate can also take the opportunity to make a profit, and the county government can also save a sum of money, and repeat this operation in the coming year, so that the matter of stabilizing prices and making money will not be cut off from sharing benefits with the people." ”
The Che County Order was silent.
Chang Ning gave him an example, and calculated specific data, "Now the price of wheat has risen to 15 wen a bucket, with the current rate of rise, as well as the chaos outside, I am afraid that it will rise to 18 or 20 wen after winter, and after the winter to the summer harvest, there will be at least four months." ”
He said: "In four months, judging from the crazy rise in the past two years, it will not be a problem to rise twice or three times at that time, and the county monarch will buy it at the price of fifteen wen and one bucket at this time, and when the spring begins, even if it is sold slowly at the price of twenty wen, it will make a lot of money." ”
Chang Ning's proposal is, "Among them, the cost of fifteen wen still belongs to the county government, and the remaining five wen can be regarded as the private property of the county monarch, and the price of grain for twenty wen and one bucket is still a little high, but compared to the price of thirty wen, fifty wen, or even higher, this price, ordinary people can barely pay, and with you to stabilize the price, the grain price of other families can only be pressed down, which is a good thing for the benefit of the people." ”
"The county gentleman not only made money by doing this, but also gained a good reputation and merit, why not do it?"
As soon as the data came out, Che County's order moved, but he was still a little hesitant, "I buy them and sell them?" ”
Chang Ning said: "The county monarch is tougher, they were just scared by Zhao Hanzhang, and they are in shock at this time, even if they are heartbroken, they will sell the county monarch some." ”
At the same time, Zhao Hanzhang was also saying to Ji Yuan: "Mr. still has to find a way to buy grain from everywhere, I don't mind paying a higher price than the market price, if there are ordinary people who are willing to sell grain, they will also buy it back." ”
Ji Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Is the girl trying to stabilize the price of food in the coming year?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "There are too many people under our hands, I'm afraid it won't make much difference, I can only try to keep the people under my hands from going hungry, and then if we have the spare strength to stabilize prices, so we can buy as much food as possible." ”
"What's the price cap?"
"No more than 50% of the market price." It's too high, and she feels distressed.
Ji Yuan understood, and said, "I'll start sending people to various places tomorrow to buy." ”
Zhao Hanzhang bowed his head with satisfaction, "I will take my mother back to Xiping this time, and Shangcai will hand it over to Mr." ”
She has to find a way to get Ji Yuan out of Shang Cai's affairs as soon as possible, and Xiping needs him too.
Just as he was thinking, a part of the song cautiously came in from the outside and whispered in Ji Yuan's ear.
Ji Yuan was slightly surprised, and turned his head to look at Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyes to look at him, "What's wrong?" ”
Ji Yuan smiled: "The girl once said that she wanted to take Chang Ning for her own use? ”
