As soon as she returned to her room, the princess began to count the silver.

Only counted eyebrows and smiled, although she was born in the palace, she is not a person who has never seen a lot of money, but Emperor Chongzhen is extremely frugal, in order to save military expenses, even she wears patched clothes, and this princess usually has very little pocket money.

What's more, this money is earned by herself, not given by others, the meaning is different, Yang Xin has always asked her to do the accounting room, and the funds of the entire business are accounted for by her.

"Today's dividends are one hundred and ninety-eight taels of dividends, ah, if we remove the dividends, we still have six hundred and fifty-four taels left."

The princess cheered, then a little sad, "Did we give too much money to the soldiers?" One hundred and ninety-eight taels a day! ”

Yang Xin smiled, "We don't have to get more, we earned more than two hundred taels in one day." However, don't divide these dividends, keep them in your hands for emergencies, and wait for today's goods to be decided. ”

Yang Xin silently calculated in his heart, in this way, he still had more than 800 taels of silver available in his hand.

The princess longed: "Yes, if you earn so much every day, you can't make more than 10,000 taels in a month?" It's more than 100,000 taels a year. ”

Speaking of this, her surprised eyes widened, thinking that she hadn't thought about this astronomical number, she was stunned for a moment, and jumped up happily.

Yang Xin shook his head in his heart, feeling that this princess was carried away by victory, how could this business be done for a month? can be a three-to-five day Duxuan.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"General, Uncle Tian is back, I have something to look for you."

Wei Wu shouted outside the door.

Yang Xin had a bad premonition in his heart, and went out with a calm face.

"General, something is wrong!"

As soon as he saw Yang Xin, Uncle Tian said with an anxious face.

Yang Xin asked calmly: "Don't worry, speak slowly!" ”

Uncle Tian calmed down and said, "I just went to Ma Dawen, and he said that he would finally provide us with a batch of goods of four hundred taels tomorrow, and after that, he would no longer provide it." ”

"Why?"

Yang Xin frowned.

"I don't know about this, he only said that he has no goods in his hand, so let's talk about it, at most tomorrow for the last time."

Uncle Tian was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Yang Xin estimated that there was something wrong here, so he hurriedly went back to the house, asked the princess for ten taels of silver ingots, and walked to the street with the silver with Uncle Tian.

Ma Dawen's grocery store is very close to the barracks, all on the same street, and it will be there in a moment.

……

Ma Dawen looked at the ten taels of silver that Yang Xin took out and put in front of the table, swallowed his saliva, but did not accept it, and said: "General, don't get me wrong, there is no intention of sitting on the ground and starting the price, you have made money in the past two days, and I have also made a lot of money, how can you be embarrassed to take the general's silver again?" I really can't get more goods, otherwise I don't want to cut off this financial route. ”

Yang Xin saw that although he said firmly, his eyes flickered, there must be an insider, his face changed, and he said, "Could it be that the shopkeeper himself also wants to do our business?" ”

Ma Dawen was frightened, Huo Di stood up, and hurriedly said, "What did the general say?" How dare the villain? General, don't get me wrong, even if the villain thinks so, he doesn't have that strength, general, think about it, the places where you sell goods are all the new barracks of the Beida Battalion, if the villain takes people to sell, they won't be directly robbed by those soldiers! ”

Yang Xin's face softened a little when he heard this, Ma Dawen was right, this is his advantage in selling goods, because there is a small flag of force as the backing, he dares to do such a business, without the escort of force, everything is empty talk.

Yang Xin thought for a while and said: "Since it's not what you want to do, it's easy to say, tell the truth to General Ben, why was you able to get the goods before, but now you can't get it, as long as you tell the truth, no matter what the result is, this silver is yours!" ”

As he spoke, he stared at the ten taels on the table.

Ma Dawen swallowed his saliva and hesitated for a moment, then said: "Since the general said so, the villain will tell the truth, and I hope the general will not blame!" ”

Yang Xin said coldly: "It's all said, as long as I tell the truth, no matter what, the silver will belong to you, and I will never blame you!" ”

Ma Dawen then continued: "It's not a secret, the white flour and rice provided to the general before were all bought from the grain store owner Gao Shopkeeper on the street at a price of 45 Wen per catty, and the Gao Shopkeeper has been familiar with me since I was a child, so I am willing to sell it to the small one, but today I will go to the high shopkeeper, but although he still has a lot of food in the store, he is not willing to sell it to the small one again, and the small one is good to say, he agreed to sell me for the last time, and the villain will go to pick up the goods early tomorrow morning." ”

I see.

Yang Xin finally figured it out, he thought that Ma Dawen collected the grain from the farmer on the street, but he didn't expect it to be the inventory of the grain store owner, he said this before, he shouldn't want to know it himself, go directly to the high shopkeeper, now that he can't get the goods, it's not a big deal to say it, and he can get ten taels, why not?

Yang Xin calculated, Ma Dawen earned five taels per catty from himself, and he has earned thousands of catties in the past two days, at least twenty or thirty taels, and now, with just one sentence, he has earned ten taels, and he can't help but mourn silently for his ten taels of silver.

This is to make money with poor information, faster than robbing money.

"Okay, in that case, you take me to meet Shopkeeper Gao!"

Yang Xin said coldly.

"There's no problem with this, the little one will take you now!"

Ma Dawen accepted the money and immediately smiled all over his face.

After a while, the three of them arrived at a courtyard not far from the next door, and there were only two or three families separated by them, which could be regarded as neighbors.

……

The shopkeeper Gao held the teacup, looked at the three people in front of him calmly, and took a sip of tea.

"Brother Gao, you see, now that the buyer has come to the door in person, they are all neighbors on the same street, not to mention that General Yang is still a hundred households of the Dashun Army, and he has not committed any crime when he comes to our street, Brother Gao has to give face."

Ma Dawen tried his best to persuade him.

The shopkeeper Gao was obviously a little scared of Yang Xin and the others, although he was calm, his feet trembled slightly.

"Since Brother Ma has already talked about this, brother, I'll tell you the truth! It's not that I don't want to sell, it's that I don't dare to sell, the price of 45 wen per catty is already very cost-effective, if I can sell it, I still have 200 stone in the treasury to store grain, and I want to sell it early, so I want to have peace of mind, isn't it good to flee to the south with the silver? Why take the risk of staying in this capital, surviving this time is purely picking up a life! ”

The shopkeeper Gao is a single, and he didn't reserve any thoughts in his heart, he thought to himself, if the other party wants to rob it, he can't hide it, it's better to be single, bet that Yang Xin won't come hard, and throw the trouble to him to deal with.

Yang Xin frowned and said, "The shopkeeper Gao said that he didn't dare to sell? What is the meaning? The food is yours, and you can't be coerced? ”

Shopkeeper Gao nodded, and then said, "General Yang, do you know why the grain stores in the entire capital dare not open?" ”

Yang Xin shook his head in confusion.

Shopkeeper Gao was very satisfied with Yang Xin's expression, and said: "That's because the four major grain merchants in the capital have unified their voices, and no one is allowed to sell grain privately!" The little ones did not dare to offend them. ”

"What?"

Yang Xin was taken aback, no wonder all the grain stores are not open these days, it turns out that someone is organizing behind the scenes!

"How bold are they? Aren't you afraid that the king will punish them? ”

These grain merchants are simply playing with fire, this is a desperate plan, there is no grain store to sell grain, or it won't be long before the entire capital will be in chaos, and the capital will be self-defeating, Yang Xincai doesn't believe that Li Yan, who is guarding the capital, will sit idly by, maybe he hasn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet.
