Chapter 139 Confrontation

The next day, the Daxing grain store raised the price of the grain stamps to one or two or four yuan, and the purchase price to one or two or two yuan.

And on the same day he received four million taels of silver.

In the evening, everyone started the meeting excitedly, and Uncle Tian first reported the accounts, and the grain stamps were sold for a total of 11 million taels, and the silver was piled up in the cellar of Daxing Qianzhuang.

The crowd cheered in unison.

Yang Xin waved his hand, and after everyone calmed down, he said: "Very good, I think it's almost over, we can have a showdown, tomorrow, all the Daxing grain shops, the selling price of grain stamps will be increased to four taels, and the purchase price will be three and a half!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Uncle Tian said: "King Xing, isn't it too exaggerated for you to triple your breath?" If they sell us for three or a half, won't we lose a lot? ”

Everyone was worried, Yang Xin smiled and said: "This is simple, the sale is limited to 100,000 stones, and the people in line to buy it can't buy enough. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, they didn't expect Yang Xin's idea to be one ring after another, without any flaws, today because of the price increase sold more than 400,000 stone food stamps, although it is less than yesterday's 100 stones, but they are full of confidence in selling 100,000 stone tomorrow.

You must know that the later generations of Yang Xin's routines are all perfect solutions that have been tested, which seems unlikely, but in fact there is no danger.

The next day, in the Qinhuai River, Daxing grain shop, the rich people of Nanjing City came to more than six floors, and everyone was full of confidence in today's grain prices.

However, when Uncle Tian hung up the sky-high price of 4 taels of food stamps, everyone was almost crazy, which meant that their worth tripled overnight.

Some people feel that the price is too high, quit the queue, but there are still a lot of people left, this behavior seems stupid, but people's greed is beyond self-control, today can earn three times, tomorrow can earn two times, even if you earn two more layers is good, buy is earn, at this time people are in the inertial greed, lost their minds in the big people.

100,000 stone grain stamps were snapped up in an instant, and there were still many people in line who couldn't buy them, just some people felt that it was too high, and wanted to settle down for safety, so they talked about the price in the grain shop, of course, they sold at a price of not less than four taels, and some even rose to five taels before they were willing to sell, including Yang Xin who met the teenager in the casino, and the food stamps that he bought for a penny at the beginning can now be sold for four or five taels, earning thousands of times, and he earns softly

Yang Xin carefully observed the transactions of the people in the store and estimated the bottom line that they could bear psychologically.

The shopkeepers of the grain shops in Nanjing City have sent people to observe outside the door of the Daxing grain shop, and as soon as the price rises here, they will go back to report immediately, and all the grain shops will increase the price together, five taels and one dollar per bucket, closely following the price of Daxing, and not a penny will be changed.

The people who bought grain complained and gathered in grain stores in various places, they were reluctant to buy such expensive grain, and they were reluctant to leave, so they talked about it on the side, and most of them expressed their worries.

Of course, no one comes to Daxing grain shop, because Daxing grain shop does not sell grain at all, they only sell grain stamps, and food stamps cannot be eaten as food, who will really buy grain come to Daxing, wait until next month to pick up the goods, and starve to death!

Sun Liang walked upstairs to Yang Xin and reported to Yang Xin about the gathering of people on the street.

Yang Xin looked at Fan Yuxuan and said, "It's time for you to make a move, Miss Fan, you will personally lead people to the Duoduo camp tonight and tell him that we have successfully raised the price of food in Nanjing City, and that there will be chaos in Nanjing City soon, so ask him to gather a large army, ready to launch a big war at any time, and he will be able to win!" ”

Fan Yuxuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't we frying grain?" Why is it related to war again? ”

Yang Xin smiled and said: "We have to be ready, this time we can earn at least 30 million taels from the hands of rich businessmen in Jiangnan, it is inevitable that Chongzhen will not be blushing, if he wants to use force, we will not be arrested, you tell Duoduo, I promise to join forces with the Qing army temporarily, and will send a large army to Nanjing to put pressure on Chongzhen." ”

Speaking, he said to Wei Wu on the side: "You send guards to rush back to Laiyang as soon as possible, and ask Daniel Zhang to mobilize 20,000 troops to go south and join the Qing army's southern expedition." ”

Wei Wu took the order and left.

……

Xu Xianchun was sweating profusely and ran to the palace to see Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, the price of grain in the city suddenly skyrocketed today, and it actually tripled in one day, rising to five taels and one yuan.

Xu Xianchun knelt on the ground and trembled, and he didn't know if the emperor would blame himself for hearing the bad news.

Chongzhen was furious and said loudly: "What? Are the Donglin Party people crazy? ”

Xu Xianchun hurriedly fell into the well and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, they don't know what to do, do you want Jinyiwei to make a move, these profiteers who are stockpiling grain are under the monitoring of Jinyiwei, and the slaves guarantee that none of them can escape!" ”

The Ming Dynasty has been fighting for a long time, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Xichang are all political enemies with the Donglin Party, Xu Xianchun naturally doesn't mind falling into the well, and at this time, he doesn't even want to mention that Daxing Grain Shop takes the lead in raising prices.

Chongzhen calmed down for a while, and then said: "It's not necessary for the time being, you go and call Wang Chengen!" ”

Xu Xianchun sighed secretly, but it was a pity that he had the opportunity, so he had to get up and call Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen was in charge of the East Factory at this time, and he didn't dare to slack off when he heard the news, so he hurriedly came over to face the saint.

"Slave Wang Chengen greets Your Majesty!"

Wang Chengen reverently knelt on the ground and saluted Chongzhen.

Chongzhen asked urgently: "Wang Chengen, how is the grain mobilization?" ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the 200,000 stone grain prepared by Anqing has arrived in Nanjing, and the others are still on the way, and it is estimated that it will take three or five days, and they will arrive one after another." ”

Chongzhen frowned and said, "I can't wait, this 200,000 stone grain in Anqing, you will arrange it to be sold everywhere in the city immediately, and the price will be one or two dollars and one bucket, be fast!" ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed and left.

……

Daxing grain shop, which is very lively, everyone is celebrating, and today's grain price has risen to an astonishing five taels and one dollars.

In the afternoon, a personal guard suddenly rushed into the grain store, turned directly to the second floor, and found Yang Xin.

"King Xing, something is wrong, there are suddenly more than ten grain shops in various parts of the city selling grain, and the price of grain is only one tael and one dollar!"

Fan Yuxuan stood up in shock and shouted, "What? ”

Hurriedly came over and twisted Yang Xin's hand, and said eagerly: "Yang Xin, think of a way, how can this be good?" ”

Yang Xin laughed, pressed Fan Yuxuan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "My silly girl, if the price of grain drops to one or two dollars, then the food stamps we sold will be worthless, why are you panicking, no one came to pick up food at that time, what are we afraid of?" ”

Fan Yuxuan thought about it for a long time before she figured out this truth, this food stamp is only at the end of the month at the price of one or two dollars to buy grain, if the price of food has dropped to one or two dollars, then the food stamps have no effect, where to buy it is one or two dollars, why should others bother to get food stamps and spend one or two dollars to pick up the goods.

Thinking of this, Fan Yuxuan laughed and said, "That's true, but you said before that you wanted to earn 30 million, but now you have only earned more than 10 million taels, so you just stopped?" ”

Yang Xin said with a smile: "Of course not, immediately send a message to all the grain stores, and ask them to tell customers that someone sells grain at a low price, and Daxing grain stores will do their best to stop it, and will buy it, and tell them to keep up, and now the most panicked people should be those who hold food stamps!" ”

Fan Yuxuan's eyes widened and said, "You're finally going to make a move?" ”

Yang Xin smiled and said: "That's natural, if I guess correctly, the one who sells grain must be Chongzhen, let's compare with him, is he more grain, or our silver!" ”

The soldiers took the order and left.

In a moment, many more families rushed into the grain store, all of them were the families of these rich people.

When everyone learned the news, they were so frightened that they gathered around the counter, Qian Tianen was at the front, and said eagerly: "Shopkeeper, what can I do about this, someone is unruly and actually sells grain at a super low price, so the food stamps in our hands are not invalid?" ”

"yes? I don't know who is so foolish, isn't it disrupting the market? ”

Uncle Tian waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "You don't have to panic, it's just some people who can't make a climate, our owner has learned about it, and now everyone will join me to buy it door to door, someone is willing to send us money at a low price to spend, don't you rush to buy sorry silver, right?" ”

Everyone suddenly realized that the food stamps of four taels of silver were rushing to line up, and the cash grain of one tael and one penny, wasn't that the money sent?

Before he finished speaking, Qian Tianen had already rushed out with the three brothers, thinking that when Daxing made a move, where would he still have his share.

Uncle Tian was dumbfounded, he was instructed by Yang Xin, so he was naturally not in a hurry, and walked at the back with his guys and guards.

By the time we arrived at the nearest grain store to the Qinhuai River, it was already in chaos, and the queue was lined up from the street to the end of the street.

I only heard one person shouting with his family, "Don't line up in front of the old man, delay the time, how much do you want to buy, come here to register, the old man will buy the grain in a while, and give you one or two buckets." ”

The people who heard the words were overjoyed, and hurriedly came to register, and the people in line in front of Qian Tianen instantly walked away, and Qian Tianen easily lined up to the front, and the two fans of the East Factory looked at Qian Tianen coldly, and one asked, "How much do you want to buy?" ”

Qian Tianen laughed and said, "How many do you have?" ”

Fanzi smiled and said, "There are 20,000 stones in our store!" ”

Qian Tianen was suddenly stunned, he only had less than 100,000 taels of silver in his hand, most of which were grain stamps, and they were not cashed, and if he wanted to buy them all, 20,000 stones would require 220,000 taels.

At this moment, Uncle Tian walked up to him and whispered: "Although Mr. Qian takes all of them, the part that is not enough silver is considered to be bought by me!" ”

Qian Tianen suddenly had confidence and said, "I want all 20,000 stones!" ”

The two fans were taken aback, and one said: "Wait a minute, I'll go to the shopkeeper to discuss." ”

A fan entered the back room of the grain store, and Wang Chengen was sitting in it.

"Factory father, the son of the Qian family wants it all, what should I do?"

Wang Chengen frowned and sneered: "Sell it to him, Your Majesty has prepared 1.8 million stones, support these bastards, in a few days, the price of grain in Nanjing City will return to the normal price, to 600 Wen a bucket, if they don't die, it will be strange, tomorrow when the grain in Jiangxi arrives, we will sell one or two silver a bucket!" ”

Fanzi nodded and left.

In less than an hour, the 200,000 stone grain mobilized by Chongzhen was sold out, of which more than half was bought by Daxing, and the rest was taken by the Donglin Party, and the people who were really short of food did not buy much.

The price of grain has returned to five taels and one penny, and all the grain stores that are selling it have a uniform price, and at this time, no one is willing to lower the price, and these people have a lot of food stamps in their hands, and the price of grain will not lose money at both ends.

And the people in the city became more panicked, they asked around, where to buy cheap grain, some people began to sit down and line up at the door of the grain shop opened by the East Factory, they didn't want to wait until the next day, it was all an all-night queue, Daxing also sent a lot of family soldiers to go out to line up, and the Donglin Party was even more so.

It is not uncommon to see thousands of people queuing up on a street, which not only jams the traffic, but also makes the city even more chaotic.

Early the next morning, the Daxing grain shop in Qinhuai River directly listed the price of five taels of silver and a bucket of grain stamps, and the sale was limited to 50,000 stones, which was still sold out.

In the evening, Yang Xin continued to meet and discuss.

Uncle Tian first said: "King Xing, today we have earned more than 2 million taels of silver, but it cost 1.8 million taels to buy the low-priced grain sold by Daming, and Daming released another 200,000 stones today, and in general, we have not harvested much silver." ”

Yang Xin laughed and said: "I didn't expect Chongzhen to use this trick, put 200,000 a day, I want to defeat this king, and I underestimate this king, starting tomorrow, the price of food stamps will increase by one or two every day, no matter how much grain Chongzhen puts out, I will collect all the orders for this king!" ”

In this way, on the third day, the Donglin Party basically ran out of money, they had already hoarded a lot of grain, and hoarded more food stamps, and the cash was all gone, and many people had begun to sell their houses and land.

On the contrary, some wealthy people who did not participate in the beginning also continued to pour in to buy low-priced grain, because every day there was a batch of low-priced grain, which was sold in less than an hour and then disappeared, and all the remaining grain stores were sold at a uniform price and sold at a high price.

No one doesn't think that this is not a gift of money, and even many people are professionally queuing up for others, which is the same as queuing up all night to buy a house in later generations, Yang Xin is now a little difficult to break even, usually the food stamps sold every day, the silver collected is not enough to sweep the goods, and the silver needs to be pasted into it in order to sweep Chongzhen's goods away.

In this way, Chongzhen bothered to get the grain at a flat price, all of which went into Yang Xin's warehouse, and the price of grain not only did not fall, but soared at the price of one or two per day, causing more silver to flow into the fried grain, they first went to buy Chongzhen's low-priced grain, and then went to buy Yang Xin's food stamps after sweeping.

There are not a few people who directly grab food stamps, and the behavior of food stamps is simpler to deal with, as long as you find a buyer, two people in total, one person takes money, one person takes the ticket, and the transaction can be completed in an instant, without having to hoard food so troublesomely.

In this way, on the eighth day, Chongzhen finally panicked, and sold grain for eight days, and the price of grain did not fall but rose, and now it has risen to an astonishing thirteen taels of silver a bucket, the people are miserable, and the city is in chaos everywhere.

At this moment, there are two people in Chongzhen's upper study, one is Zheng Chenggong, and the other is wearing a python robe, with a slender figure, a Chinese face, gloomy eyes, and a frosty face.

Chongzhen said: "Now, what should we do? We only have 400,000 stone of grain left in our hands, but the other party still does not hesitate to sweep the goods, how much money do they have in their hands? This one hundred and eighty stone of grain was sold, and it cost nearly 20 million taels of silver, where did they get so much money? ”

Zheng Chenggong also frowned, and said: "It seems that we underestimate them, and now the only way to do this is to limit the purchase!" Each person is limited to one pound per day, so that we can support at least one month. ”

"No purchase restrictions!"

The man didn't speak, and at this time he stood up to object, saying: "Once the purchase is restricted, they will know that we are out of stock, and they will stiffen the price, so that two sets of markets will be formed, as long as they survive this time, we will definitely lose." ”

Zheng Chenggong's eyes widened and said, "Then what should we do?" ”

The man smiled and said: "So far, we are a horse into the middle of the road, there is no retreat, this time against the Donglin Party, we must not lose, otherwise, I am afraid to lose this war, I think, anything can be traded, no one can be bought, the key to this matter is in this Yang Xin, Your Majesty, you can ask him the price, it really doesn't work, we promise to give him benefits in the real world." ”

Chongzhen's eyes widened, and Zheng Chenggong said, "Will this be a violation?" ”

The man laughed and said, "They didn't say that this would be a violation, we want victory!" ”

Zheng Chenggong wanted to say more, Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "No need to say more, I agree with General Bao's suggestion, call Yang Xin into the palace tonight and ask him what he wants?" ”

The two nodded in agreement.

After a while, Xu Xianchun entered the upper study.

"You go now, call Yang Xin into the palace, I am waiting for him here!"

Chongzhen said coldly.

Xu Xianchun hurriedly agreed and left.

……

Daxing Qianzhuang, Yang Xin is still discussing with Daxing's high-level officials, at this time, Sun Liang said: "Miss Fan has already made sense many times, and Governor Zhang Dadu also led the army to arrive on the other side of Nanjing, as long as Chongzhen dares to turn his face and use force, my Daxing army will attack Nanjing with the Qing army." ”

Everyone was very nervous, and they had made a lot of money, but once Chongzhen lifted the table and stopped playing, he used force, and everything was in vain.

At this time, a personal soldier came to report.

"King Xing, Chongzhen sent Xu Xianchun to come and invite King Xing to the palace to face the saint!"

Everyone was shocked, and Sun Liang hurriedly said: "King Xing, don't go, this is more than lucky." ”

Everyone echoed in unison, and Aunt Chen scolded: "This emperor is too tasteless, he does business and does business, he can't play roughly, how can there be such a thing!" ”

Yang Xin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I think he is looking for this king to negotiate conditions, if he wants to be rude, he has already sent troops to surround our Daxing Qianzhuang at this moment!" ”
