118th admire each other
"A penny a pound? Thisβ" The crowd was amazed.
At this time, the families with some money had already stockpiled enough food to cope with the famine.
There is no shortage of black-hearted businessmen, after they have stockpiled their own grain, they sit on the ground and raise the price, sell it at an outrageously high price, and make a lot of money.
Those who take the opportunity to make a fortune in the country are tantamount to eating the blood steamed buns of the poor people.
But Su Ying, who was in front of everyone, not only did not take advantage of this time to turn the money in his hands into food, but took the initiative to recycle the potatoes in their hands at a high price.
"This-" Someone began to be embarrassed, ashamed: "Su Dongjia doesn't have to be like this, we don't blame you, anyway, the supermarket is there, and when the situation is good, we will follow you to make a lot of money." In the case of potatoes, we can just watch and deal with it ourselves. β
"yes, yes. Although we have a bad reputation as a businessman, outsiders say that there is no treachery or something, but we are indeed not the black-hearted, at this time everyone is in difficulty, how can we dump the pot at you? β
ββ¦β¦β
The crowd changed the direction of the wind quickly.
Su Ying was very relieved and very moved.
"I know that everyone is a businessman, and they are very different from that black-hearted businessman, otherwise when Fule Home opened, Uncle Shen would not have taken you to make a fortune together.
You are someone that Uncle Shen can trust, and you are also someone that I Su Ying can trust.
When I say recycle potatoes, you don't have to worry that I'm making a loss-making deal, I have my own reasons, so you can rest assured. β
Everyone was surprised: "You really want to recycle so many potatoes?" Really won't lose money? β
Su Ying knew it in her heart.
These people don't dare to bet on potatoes because they don't know the benefits of potatoes yet, especially in a panicked environment where they don't have enough food and clothing, and they are more wary of new things that are unfamiliar.
But she knows the benefits of potatoes.
"I'm not going to lose money." She smiled: "Don't forget, I am also a businessman, not a philanthropist, and of course I will not do loss-making transactions." As I told you, I'm going to have people pull out the wheat seedlings that are sure to be drastically reduced and plant potatoes. β
This is the path she is going to take, and she has clearly told everyone.
What everyone is going to do is up to them.
There were two partners who hesitated, but finally chose to follow in Su Ying's footsteps.
"Then I'll learn from Su Dongjia, pull out wheat seedlings, and plant potatoes."
"Me too. I only have 30,000 or 40,000 catties of potatoes on my left, and I also have a lot of land at home, so I can just plant it. If it's a big deal, the harvest will be lost, and anyway, if you plant corn in the second half of the year, you can slow it down. β
In addition to these two partners, who have a lot of land at home, the other ones don't have so much land, and they finally decided to hand over the potatoes to Su Ying, and even offered to offer that if Su Ying was nervous, he could wait for the potatoes to be harvested before giving them the payment.
If they trusted Su Ying for the sake of Shen Jinbao's face before, after today's incident, they were completely convinced by Su Ying.
There were many words of thanks, and Su Ying also knew that these people were very conscientious businessmen.
After thinking about it, I still said something, like a suggestion, but also like a plea.
"I know that you are not profiteers, and you don't disdain to stock up on grain like the black-hearted merchants who eat the blood steamed buns of the victims, and make a fortune in the country. But I still advise everyone that if you have the spare energy, you should try to stock up on as much food as possible. β
"Don't we be like those black-hearted merchants?" Some people are puzzled, they obviously know that Su Ying is not that kind of person, why do they still advise everyone like this?
Su Ying explained: "We don't rob it, we have others to rob it." Instead of cheapening those black-hearted businessmen, it is better for us to hold the grain in our hands, even if we sell it at cost price at that time, it can be regarded as helping the people. β
At this time, everyone completely understood what Su Ying meant, and they admired her even more.
"Okay, with Su Dongjia's compassionate heart, I will follow you in the future. According to your wishes, I will go and gather the money at home, try to buy food and hide it, and when I need it one day, I will sell it at the purchase price, and I will make some contributions to the people of Dazhou. β
"Since you've said so Iron Rooster, what am I waiting for? I can't be compared to you. β
"Who's the Iron Rooster?"
"Hahaha."
ββ¦β¦β
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and the desire to make some contributions to the people of Dazhou also took root and sprouted in everyone's hearts.
Su Ying wrote down the approximate number of potatoes in each merchant's hand, and after the people dispersed, she wrote and drew on the paper, making overall arrangements for the manpower, land and capital needed to recycle the potatoes.
Zuo Chengyi, who had listened to a big drama outside the window, saw that only Su Ying was left in the room, so he entered the house with a thousand thoughts.
"It is worthy of Su Ying's Su Dongjia, he is sincere, he is sincere, and the most important thing is that your business skills can support your kindness in the world."
"Zuo Chengyi? It's over. When did you come to Yunling County? β
Zuo Chengyi was seriously injured a few years ago, and after telling her such a big secret, the two never saw each other again.
She didn't know when he left or when he returned.
Zuo Chengyi sat down directly and spoke.
"There have been too many people fleeing recently, and many of them have become rogues and robbed them in all directions, so I went to Runing Mansion to stay and recuperate by the way."
A person who plots rebellion will be able to recuperate from his injuries? Shouldn't normal people take advantage of the chaos to rebel?
Su Ying didn't speak, just stared at Zuo Chengyi.
Zuo Chengyi smiled, knowing that he couldn't hide it from Su Ying.
He didn't want to hide it anyway.
The probe looked out, and saw that no one noticed this, so he whispered to Su Ying: "Do you remember the two outsiders that Li Bu brought?" β
"The two who assassinated you?" Of course Su Ying remembered.
"Yes, that's them." Zuo Chengyi nodded, "They have long had the intention of provoking the conflict between the Great Zhou and the Great Wei, and they also brought a huge amount of money over last year, planning to take advantage of the envoys to the two countries to stock up grain and seek huge profits." And they did stock up a lot of grain, but all that grain is mine now. β
Su Ying was overjoyed, "After you arrested them, you also deducted their food?" β
"Don't you think I'm doing something wrong?" Zuo Chengyi's lips turned up slightly, "You are very reasonable in your life and work, I thought you would call me a despicable villain, taking advantage of the danger of others to rob the food of outsiders." β
Su Ying shook his head and said, "This is our food." And they, the foreigners, will not be satisfied with making money for food. If they are given a chance, they will grab even our Da Zhou's territory. β
Su Ying has studied history, and the modern history of the country is a complete history of national disaster and humiliation.
Those foreigners are frenzied robbers, who not only rob money and goods, but also kill people and set fires to do all kinds of evil.
Moreover, the two foreigners who wanted to assassinate Zuo Chengyi, the meaning of those words at that time even had the intention of robbing the Great Zhou and Great Wei as their colonies.
Of course, Zuo Chengyi didn't know what would happen in a few hundred years, but when he saw Su Ying's face suddenly become serious, he also became serious.
