He Ziyu was puzzled, "What can be the problem with this?" The Yao family is domineering, and people from outside are not allowed to enter to do business, and the roads in Yixian County are also cut off, so it is possible for the grain merchants to be troublesome. ”

Han Mu disagreed, "My father said that as long as there is money to be made, businessmen can do anything, how dangerous it was for my father to fight on the front line, and there were many bandits on the road, but as soon as the court said that the transportation of grain and grass could be exchanged for salt and tea, the merchants flocked to it, and the fatal difficulties on the road were not worth mentioning." ”

Gu Junruo bowed, "Yixian County is not far from Jiangling Mansion, and the price of grain is ten times higher than that in Jiangling Mansion, but there are no grain merchants entering, if there is no second reason, it is absolutely impossible." ”

He Ziyou: "Could it be because the Yao family closed the news, and the people outside don't know the situation in Yixian?" ”

Han Mu clapped his hands, "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" ：”

Gu Junruo glanced at him and said, "I thought so before, but after arriving at Jiangling Mansion, I didn't think it was the reason. ”

"Why?"

Gu Junruo pointed to the beggar who was begging with a broken bowl not far away and said, "Where did the refugees who left from Yixian go?" ”

Han Mu followed her fingers and pondered.

With so many refugees leaving Yi County, there must be some who have gone to Gangneung Province, and they will bring out the news from Yi County.

The merchants were well-informed, and it was impossible for them not to know about the situation in Yixian.

"Moreover, when I first started to dredge the river, I sent someone out to spread the word, explaining the high grain price in Yixian County, which was tempting for people to go. But until now, we haven't seen anyone in Yixian," Gu Junruo said: "At first, I thought it was the reason why the river was dredged, but I thought about it just now, when we got off the boat today, there was no boat at the pier to go to Yixian." ”

"This ......" He Ziyou couldn't help but glance at Han Mu, and shuddered: "I, why do I sound so terrifying?" ”

"Let's go, go in and have a look," Gu Junruo said: "By the way, inquire about the grain merchants in Jiangling Mansion and find out the reason." ”

Han Mu's face also condensed, he looked up at the plaque in the grain shop, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I want to see what other cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are in here?" ”

Song Ji grain shop is very large, don't look at it is a grain shop, but there are two floors, the first floor of the store has a lot of grain, there are several types of rice, wheat, beans, as well as milled all kinds of rice, flour, soybean flour and so on.

Han Mu looked at the past one by one, and compared with him who had been to Yao's grain shop, he also felt that the placement of Song Ji grain shop was more comfortable, maybe it was a big place?

He reached out and grabbed a handful of paddy and asked the guy who greeted him, "How do you sell this?" ”

The guy said with a smile on his face: "Twelve Wen and one bucket." ”

Han Mu blurted out, "It's so cheap." ”

The guy gave him a strange look, is it too cheap to buy things?

Gu Junruo hurriedly explained: "I heard that Jiangling was affected by the disaster some time ago, and I thought that the price of grain would rise. ”

"It's already rising," the guy said, "Our Jiangling is originally a land of fish and rice, and there is no shortage of grain, and the price of grain at this time in previous years was between eight and ten yuan, and now it is twelve yuan, which is already high." ”

He said: "Actually, it was higher some time ago, sometimes sixteen wen, sometimes eighteen wen a bucket, and now it is slowly decreasing." ”

Han Muzheng wanted to say that they wouldn't buy it, so he listened to Gu Junruo and said, "We want to buy more, I heard that Xiayi County, Jiangling Prefecture was seriously affected, and the price of grain in it has soared to one hundred and eighty wen." ”

When the guy heard this, he looked at the three of them carefully, "The three of them are not from our Jiangling, right?" ”

"No," Han Mu glanced at Gu Junruo and said: "We are merchants from the north, originally selling cloth and porcelain, and I accidentally learned this news after the things were sold, and I am not afraid of your jokes, we travel from south to north, and it is not easy to make a little money from a long distance, so I want to do this business, but ......"

Han Mu took out a dime of silver and stuffed it into the man's mouth, lowered his voice and said: "But we are not ignorant small businessmen, how can such a good business let us outsiders know, and you grain merchants in Jiangling Mansion will not do such a big business?" ”

He said: "Isn't it my opponent who bought someone to cheat me." ”

The man understood, this person came to buy grain and do business fake, and it was true to inquire about the news.

He looked down at the silver horn in his hand, and said hesitantly, "This ......"

Han Mu didn't expect him to be so greedy, this silver horn was not one or two but seven or eight points, and it was cut from a large piece of silver ingot.

He is no longer the Han Mu of the capital, and he knows how valuable these seven or eight points of silver horn are.

He glanced at the guy and stretched out his hand to Xiaobei.

Xiaobei looked at his hand, "Second Young Master......"

Han Mu moved his fingers, "Hurry up." ”

Xiaobei could only take out another piece of silver to him, this time it was complete, a small silver ingot, five taels of silver.

When the man saw this silver ingot, his heart was beating heavily, he hurriedly took it and stuffed it into his arms, then looked left and right, focused on the back, and saw that the shopkeeper did not come out, so he lowered his voice and said: "Lang Jun asked me correctly, you spend this money at an ironclad value, otherwise if you buy grain and transport it, I am afraid that the loss will be not small in the future." ”

"How do you say this, it's really my opponent who cheated me?"

"It may not be your opponent who cheated on you," the guy said, "Maybe he was inadvertently cheated by the new county order of Yi County." ”

Han Mu, the new county commander of Yixian County: ......

Gu Junruo and He Ziyou also looked at him together.

The man said: "Why don't our grain merchants in Jiangling enter Yi County?" ”

"Why?"

"Because the Yao family, the largest grain merchant in Yi County, the Yao family is related to Xu Tingshi, Xu Tingshi said that the grain merchants in Jiangling are not allowed to go to Yixian County to rob the Yao family for business," the guy said: "The local grain merchants in Yixian County are just that, and our grain merchants from other places will be guilty of Xu Tingshi's taboo." Our owner said that it was not worth offending Xu Tingshi for that little profit. ”

"After all, if Yixian makes money, it will be temporary, and it won't last long, but if we offend Xu Tingshi, our business in Jiangling will not be good in the future."

Han Mu was dumbfounded when he heard this, "No, Yixian County has been hit by a disaster, as a government assassin, shouldn't he think about relieving the victims and alleviating the disaster, how can he help the Yao family harm the people instead?" ”

"Shh," the man looked at him anxiously, "Hugh is talking nonsense, if the guest officer is talking nonsense here, then the little one will not be accepted." ”

"Wait," Han Mu grabbed him and asked with a pale face, "Then I don't eat grain, can I eat grain and grow it?" ”

"Grain? That's not to say no, but at this time, Yixian County is very poor, and I heard that people are about to eat people, and they can still afford to buy grain seeds? The guy smiled and said: "If the guest officer really wants to wade into this troubled water, if you want me to say that you don't have to buy grain, you can buy grain, and you don't have to do other business in Jiangling in the future." ”
