Chapter 25: Rushing for Food

"Yes, General Yang, do you know, the small ones are restless day and night these days, sell it, offend them, don't sell it, offend Dashun, the left and right are roasted on the fire, if the general can help the small one solve this problem, the small one will sell all the stored grain in the warehouse to the general, it doesn't matter if the price is low, the small one just took the silver and ran to the south for refuge."

The high shopkeeper is embarrassed.

Yang Xin thought for a while, and asked puzzledly: "You are going to run away with the money, why do you care about the threat of the four major grain merchants, you know, now this capital is in the hands of Dashun, if you don't listen to them, why can they bear you?" ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said: "General Yang doesn't know, these four major grain merchants, grain stores are all over the country, especially in the south, and the big people in the court are their backstage, and if the small ones want to escape to the south for refuge, they must not offend them." This afternoon, they had already learned that the grain sold by the general had come out of me, and had already sent someone to warn me, and I was so good at talking about it, so I told them that I would sell it for the last time, because the deposit had been collected, and I did not dare to shirk it. ”

Yang Xin didn't expect that yesterday's small fight did not attract attention, but today he started to make a big move, which immediately attracted the attention of people with a heart, and they actually found their own source of goods so quickly, and they really did this business and had rich experience.

Yang Xin threatened: "Aren't they afraid that the Dashun army will find trouble for them?" ”

He is also a fox and a fake tiger, he is just a small recruit of 100 households, how can he be qualified to represent the Dashun army.

The shopkeeper sighed and said: "Hey, what are they afraid of, a few days ago, the house that should be raided was raided, and it was luck to hide like the villain, many of them were killed by Dashun, what else is there to be afraid of, not to mention that the villain also heard that they have now befriended the general of the Beida Battalion, and I don't know if it's true or not." In short, the little ones don't want to wade into this troubled water again, and survival is more important than anything else. ”

Yang Xin got a problem thrown by the shopkeeper, the easiest way is naturally to rob directly, Uncle Tian on the side gave himself a look, presumably he had already moved the idea of robbery.

But calculate, two hundred stone of grain, the price of a catty of 45 Wen, that is, the goods of more than a thousand taels of silver, excluding the cost, this high shopkeeper can earn seven or eight hundred taels to die, and he is not a particularly rich master, at most it is a small rich family, Yang Xin feels that it is a little too reluctant to rob him, after all, even the Dashun army has not taken a fancy to it, and it cannot be a big rich family.

After pondering for a while, I kept thinking about the word "grab", and suddenly my eyes lit up, and I thought about it.

"Shopkeeper Gao, General Ben has already thought of a way!"

Yang Xin's eyebrows danced.

"Oh, I don't know if the general's plan will be released?"

The shopkeeper Gao looked cloudy.

Yang Xin smiled and said, "Since both sides of the shopkeeper don't want to offend, it's better for General Ben to do this bad guy, and to do what offends people." ”

The shopkeeper Gao was still Meng, and hurriedly asked: "What is the general's explanation?" ”

Yang Xin smiled mysteriously and said: "If the shopkeeper Gao is robbed by General Ben, it will be involuntarily, and the four major grain merchants will have nothing to say." ”

Uncle Tian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his face was full of excitement.

The shopkeeper Gao and Ma Dawen were so frightened that they were covered with cold sweat, and Ma Dawen hurriedly said: "The general must not!" How can you do such a perfidious thing? ”

Ma Dawen is more anxious than the shopkeeper Gao, this Yang Xin came to see the shopkeeper Gao, if he really robbed, he would become the culprit who killed the shopkeeper Gao, the two have known each other since childhood, but they pushed themselves into an unkind and unrighteous position.

Yang Xin said with a smile: "Don't worry, do business in good faith, General Ben is by no means the kind of person who is treacherous, what General Ben said about robbery is not really robbery, as long as the four major grain merchants feel that it is really robbery." ”

It took the two of them a long time to come back to their senses, and they were really frightened by him just now, and hurriedly said: "The general is really wise, clever, clever!" ”

Yang Xin said with a smile: "Okay, so it's decided, when this batch of goods is sold out tomorrow, we will do it tomorrow night, and the remaining 200 stone grain of the high shopkeeper will be sold to General Ben at a price of 45 wen per catty, and when we come to grab the grain tomorrow, we will bring the silver." ”

Ma Dawen and the two were overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked them, and the two sides agreed on how to deliver the goods tomorrow morning and how to grab the grain tomorrow night.

On the way back, Uncle Tian suggested: "General, you are too easy to talk, if you want me to say, it is better to do a fake show tomorrow night, and rob the high shopkeeper, so that we can earn more than a thousand taels." ”

Yang Xin shook his head when he heard this, this old man, his hair is gray, and he still thinks about robbery, it is really a wealth that touches people's hearts, and there is no desire for checks and balances, which is very terrifying.

"Uncle Tian, you remember, we can't do business no matter what, we can't move this kind of evil thought, reputation is more important than gold, with reputation, business will get bigger and bigger in the future."

Yang Xin didn't know how to reprimand him, many of the poor people in this era have been forced to lose their minds, and they have the idea of robbing at every turn, so isn't Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, making a fortune by robbing.

Think about it, the rich are the so-called elites, who have always advocated the survival of the fittest, but the poor have been forced into a corner, the rabbits are anxious to bite, the poor can't survive, and in the end they can only be fish and broken nets, jade and stones, and finally Daming and Dashun are finished.

Uncle Tian didn't dare to talk back, as long as there is money to make, make less money for peace of mind and long-term, and not lose, so he hurriedly said: "The general's lesson is that the little one remembers." ”

In his heart, he was quite unimpressed, and only felt that Yang Xin was a woman.

Yang Xin calculated that he had more than 800 taels in his hand, and if he sold another 400 taels of goods tomorrow, he would earn another 400 taels, adding up to more than 1,200 taels, which was barely enough to buy the 200 stone grain of the high shopkeeper.

It's just that at the current rate, two hundred stone of grain won't be sold for long, and he has to slow down the speed of grain delivery.

……

"What? Double it again? Up to 200 wen a pound? ”

The next day, at the rally before going out, everyone was shocked by Yang Xin's words.

Carpenter Chen even stood up in surprise and said the sentence with the most words in these days at one time.

"Don't get excited, sit down, isn't it good to raise prices? We can make more money again! ”

Yang Xin looked indifferent, since he knew that the four major grain merchants planned to stock up and not sell, he would not be able to make a big profit if he didn't take a ride, if it wasn't for the lack of capital turnover, he even thought about not selling it for the time being and waiting for two days.

It's just that he mourns silently for the people of the capital in his heart, but he is powerless in this matter, even if he sells the food in his hand cheaply, it is only a drop in the bucket, except for making himself suffer poverty together, it will not help things.

"The general has raised the price so much, I'm afraid the goods won't sell well today!"

Uncle Tian also frowned.

Everyone agreed, "Yes, it was not easy to sell yesterday." ”

Daniel Zhang said distressedly, yesterday their group was not easy to sell, but it was sold out a little earlier than Yang Xin, ran all day, tired but not tired, that is, the goods could not be sold, and the heart was anxious.
