Drunken Spring Building.

Li Jin once again invited several wealthy businessmen to come to dinner.

The meal was still very rich, but Li Jin always had an inexplicable smile on his face, which made people shudder.

The wealthy merchant landlords, seeing Li Jin's appearance, although they were puzzled in their hearts, they couldn't help but ask themselves:

"Lord Prefect, when will we be able to sell our grain?"

"Half a month has passed now, and if I don't sell it again, I'm afraid that the people in the city will starve to death."

This time, in order to make a lot of money, many people borrowed usury to buy food.

Some people even did not hesitate to buy grain from Huguang and went through great hardships to bring the grain to Hepu County.

Of course, in addition to the local grain merchants and landlords, some merchants from other places and large grain merchants also poured into Hepu one after another.

Hepu hadn't seen these outsiders coming here for many years.

Li Jin glanced at these people, and then said:

"This official sees that you want to get rich, and you can't hold back your thoughts, right?"

Everyone laughed awkwardly twice, and then one of them stood up and said:

"We just drank some soup with the adults, saying that we didn't know that the adults' treasury was about to pile up."

"If these grains are sold, I'm afraid that the adults will definitely get rich."

The rest of the wealthy businessmen all chimed in:

"Yes, if it weren't for the wisdom and martial arts of the adults, we wouldn't be able to earn this money, and the adults are our blue sky!"

"That's right, another day we will send an umbrella to the adults to show their kindness."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

“...”

Li Jin waited until everyone finished speaking, then gently raised the wine glass, took a sip, and said:

"The grain can indeed be sold!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was very excited, and the opportunity to make money was right in front of them, and it depended on whether everyone could grasp it.

But Li Jin's next sentence made everyone a little confused.

"But this price needs to be changed."

"The price set before is really not suitable now."

The smiles on everyone's faces gradually petrified, and then they asked cautiously:

"Dare to ask my lord, how much should the price of this grain be set?"

"It's 10% more than the market price."

Li Jin looked indifferent and said lightly:

"One percent is a lot, enough for you to make hard-earned money."

"Boom!"

Everyone present was fried.

You must know that the price Li Jin said at the beginning is three times the market price.

And now the price outside has long been speculated to be more expensive than this price.

Now Li Jin actually cut the price by two-thirds in one breath, which is really too deceitful.

"My lord, that's not what you told us in the first place!"

An old landlord, unable to stand the blow, stood up tremblingly and asked Li Jin.

Li Jin said very casually:

"This price change depends on the relationship between demand."

"Now that you have bought so much rice from other places, grain merchants from other places have also come to join in the fun."

"Now the grain reserves are far greater than the needs of the people."

"How many people are there in our local area? However, if there are less than 100,000 people, you have brought over millions of stone grains, and the price will definitely be cheaper than before. ”

"Today, the official is here to say, if you want to sell, sell it at a price that is 10% more expensive than the market price."

"It doesn't matter if you sell it to the people, or sell it to your own officials, you can collect as much as you want."

"But let the official know that you raised the price without authorization and sold the grain at a price one percent higher than the market price, don't blame me for being unsympathetic."

In the end, Li Jin's tone suddenly became cold, his sharp eyes swept the audience, and finally said:

"Okay, those who are willing to do business with the official can stay, and those who don't want to do business can leave."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was silent, looking at each other, not knowing how to respond.

Before coming, everyone had the dream of getting rich once, but now, Li Jin gave them a stick on the head, making them have to reconsider their next actions.

At this moment, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood up, snorted coldly, and was about to walk out the door.

Obviously, this person is just as soft and hard as he is.
