The reason why Yuan Yao came to Xuzhou to make a special trip to Mijia was not entirely to buy food.

In fact, you don't need to go so far to buy food, you can go to Jiangdong and even other families to buy it.

He made a special trip to the Mi family in Xuzhou, and the most important thing was to find out whether the current Mi family had taken refuge in Liu Bei.

If the Mi family took refuge in Liu Bei, then Yuan Yao would have to think of a way to collapse them.

Compared with the brave and resourceless Lu Bu, the opponent who worried Yuan Yao more was actually Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei's strength is not strong today, once he gets the support of the Mi family, it will be Dapeng rising with the wind one day and soaring to 90,000 miles.

dismantled the union of the Mi family and Liu Bei, that was the biggest purpose of his visit to Xuzhou this time.

If he can also reach a cooperation with the Mi family by the way, and let the Mi family fund himself, then Yuan Yao will be even happier.

Therefore, buying and selling grain is just an opportunity for him to come to the Mi family.

However, Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, didn't know what Yuan Yao was thinking at this moment.

After listening to Yuan Yao's description, he only felt that Yuan Yao had great love in his heart, and in this troubled era, he was still able to care about the people, worry about the safety of the people, and was willing to provide disaster relief for the famine people.

That is the original intention that many people who are officials do not have.

"No problem, I didn't expect Yuan Gongzi to have such a heart, willing to spend money to buy grain and grass for the people, such a good thing to help the world and the people, my Mi family will naturally not refuse."

"Engong, you only need to say the number, and my Mi family will deliver the grain you want to the place you designate."

"That's so polite."

"Food, naturally, will not be too little, not to mention 500,000 people in Lujiang, counting the Huainan area, at least millions of people, once the famine comes, I am afraid that there will be millions of victims."

"I think we need at least 200,000 stone of grain to solve this crisis."

After Yuan Yao agreed to transport grain to him, Yuan Yao was not ambiguous, and directly said a number.

200,000 stone of grain.

In fact, the price of a stone of grain was not high in the Han Dynasty.

When the society is not in turmoil, in a good year, a stone of grain is only 30 yuan.

However, the price of grain is not static, and the price of a stone of grain will rise when the harvest is not good, and it will rise to more than 100 yuan a stone when it is expensive.

And in this year, the price of grain is not low in various places, firstly, there is social turmoil, secondly, the imperial court is declining, and the princes are fighting each other, and ordinary people have no time to farm.

Food prices are rising year by year.

A few years ago, grain cost a few tens of dollars a stone, but now it is generally one or two hundred dollars a stone.

And 200,000 stone of grain, that's worth 30 or 40 million yuan.

Yuan Yao only has so much money in his hands at present, and he wants more food, but he can't take out so much money.

The grain of 200,000 stones was already the most Yuan Yao could buy.

In fact, if it is really a disaster relief, 200,000 stone of grain is far from enough, at most it is enough for the people of a county to avoid disasters.

However, it is impossible for Yuan Yao to really spend such a big price to rescue the people in the entire Huainan region.

"Two hundred thousand stone grain?"

"Okay, no problem, just 200,000 stone of grain, our Mi family doesn't even need to buy it, it can be easily scraped together."

200,000 stone grain may be a huge number for others, but for the Mi family, 200,000 stone grain is really nothing.

In the dock fort of the Mi family, there are hundreds of thousands of stone of grain prepared all year round in case of emergency.

Counting the Mi family's strongholds and farms in various parts of Xuzhou, it is really nothing to collect 200,000 stone of grain.

If you still need more grain, the Mi family's shops in Xuzhou can directly spend money to buy it, and you can take out a large amount of grain in a short time.

However, food has never been a money-making thing, and the Mi family rarely buys and sells.

After all, every family will have some surplus of this thing, and no one will easily buy food if they are fine.

And once it really comes time to buy grain, it will definitely be a disaster year, and the price of grain will definitely increase exponentially.

"Then thank you so much to the head of the Mi family, the price is ......"

After talking about the purchase of grain, Yuan Yao was more concerned about the price.

Because he still doesn't know what price the Mi family's grain will sell.

In Yuan Yao's heart, his price is one hundred and fifty yuan a stone, and if it exceeds one hundred and fifty yuan, it is not unacceptable, after all, it is impossible for people not to make a penny.

As long as it is not more than two hundred dollars a stone, he can accept it.

"In terms of price, although Yuan Gongzi can rest assured, our Mi family is not short of this money, since it is to help Yuan Gongzi help the world and save the people, then we can't make your money, all grain and grass will be sold to you at the cost price of thirty yuan and one stone!"

Mi Zhu can actually give Yuan Yao these grains for free, but if it is free, he is also worried that Yuan Yao will not want it, after all, this favor is not small.

So Mi Zhu thought about it carefully, and still asked Yuan Yao to spend some money, as for how much it would cost, it would be exquisite.

If it is more than 100 yuan and a stone, it is inevitable that some of it is too expensive, so this is just a simple transaction, and Yuan Yao will not remember his favor.

It's all free and inappropriate, so they can only offer a low price of thirty yuan and one stone, which facilitates this transaction, and can make Yuan Yao remember their Mi family's affection for him and win over Yuan Yao.

No matter what Yuan Yao says, he is the son of the Yuan family, the third prince of the fourth world, and it is also a good way for the Mi family to befriend him.

The Mi family is good at everything, rich and people, but they have no backers in the court, and they are not the material for studying, so they have always hoped to make friends with some wealthy families.

Yuan Yao's background and identity are very worthy of their friendship, especially Yuan Yao is still kind to their Mi family now, which makes Mi Zhu want to have a good relationship with Yuan Yao even more.

"Thirty dollars a stone!"

After Yuan Yao listened to the price Mi Zhu said, the expression on his face was obviously stunned, for this offer, he never expected.

"This ...... This is not very good, the price of grain in the outside market has risen to more than 100 yuan a stone, the owner of the Mi family sold it to me at such a low price, and he has to be responsible for the transportation on the road, the cost will increase greatly, this is selling to me at a loss! ”

Yuan Yao is not a fool, from Mi Zhu's offer, he knows that the other party is not making money at all, and there will even be losses.

With such a favor, he naturally knew that if he agreed, he would be a little embarrassed.
