Now Lin Minxian didn't understand it even more, and he didn't know what Cui Xiuye wanted to do when he recruited those people over now.

"What do you mean? You'll find out in the evening! ”

Cui Xiuye didn't say anything, just let him do it.

"Whoa!"

"I'll arrange it!"

Lin Minxian saluted and left directly, and then one by one the household officials also ran towards several large grain stores.

After receiving the order from the household department, several major grain merchants were also puzzled, and they did not dare to slack off and went to their master's house to report the situation.

"Go in the evening and see what my good nephew wants!

But remember one thing, just listen and don't speak, understand? ”

Glancing at the shopkeeper of the local agriculture and grain store, Cui Yuqing's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness.

He also wanted to see what kind of demon his good nephew could do.

"Whoa! Liu Feng retired! ”

Shopkeeper Liu Feng also saluted Cui Yuqing, and then left directly.

After Liu Feng left, Cui Yuqing also leaned on the sofa and didn't know what he was thinking.

That night, the shopkeepers of the five grain stores also gathered in Chunfeng Building.

"Shopkeeper Liu, do you know what this Cui Shangshu is looking for us?"

Zhou Hai, the shopkeeper of the Quartet Grain Bank, came to Liu Feng, his eyes full of doubts.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, you don't know things, how can I know, you also think too highly of Liu!"

Liu Feng also shook his head, he still wants to get some information from the other party, you still want to ask me?

"Shopkeeper Sun, do you know?"

Zhou Hai also looked at Sun Bu on the side, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Sun doesn't know, shopkeeper Zhou, do you have any news?"

Sun Bu also frowned, he also wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in this Cui Xiuye gourd, but there was no news at all.

"If I knew, I wouldn't have asked you."

Zhou Hai also sighed, if he knew that he would ask this and that so lowly?

"Okay, don't talk about that, just go in and find out."

Lin Liu, the shopkeeper of the Kuohai Commercial Bank, also frowned, and walked in directly.

"Yes, just check it out!"

The rest of the people also glanced at each other and walked in together behind each other.

"A few shopkeepers, my family is waiting inside, please!"

I had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, and when I saw the figures of several people, I also welcomed them to Cui Xiuye's house.

"I've seen Cui Shangshu!"

"I've seen Cui Shangshu."

"I've seen Cui Shangshu!"

Looking at Cui Shouye sitting inside, several people also saluted together.

"Okay, let's sit down quickly!"

Cui Xiuye nodded and motioned for them to take their seats.

"Xie Cui Shangshu!"

"Xie Cui Shangshu!"

"Xie Cui Shangshu!"

Several people glanced at each other, and they also sat down next to Cui Xiuye together.

"Drink wine and tell Xiao Er to serve food!"

"Whoa!"

drank wine and saluted very knowingly, then turned around and left, leaving only Cui Xiuye and the five shopkeepers in the room.

"Cui Shangshu, I don't know why you invited us over?"

Zhou Hai glanced at Cui Xiuye, and he also got straight to the point, and asked directly.

"Don't worry, wait until the food comes up, let's talk while eating!"

Cui Xiuye also smiled in return, signaling that the food would be served first.

"Cui Shangshu, Ming people don't say dark words, it's better to say anything first."

Sun Bu also frowned, some things should be said first, otherwise he would not dare to eat this meal.

"That's right, if you have something to say, this meal can be eaten at any time!"

"Well, let's talk about things first!"

The attitude of the five shopkeepers is very unified, if they eat in a daze, who knows if it is a Hongmen banquet.

"Since you've all said so, then I'm not going to hide it.

You all know the current situation, Datang and Tubo are destined to have a big war, and Your Majesty also ordered me to raise one million stone grain and grass.

Therefore, I came to you to communicate with you and raise this million stones of grain and grass together. ”

Cui Xiuye also had nothing to say, and directly said his arrangement.

"A million stone grains and grass? Cui Shangshu: Is this a bit too much? ”

Although Sun Bu said so, he was already happy in his heart.

They refused to provide the only 100,000 stone grain and grass they said before, let alone this million stone grain and grass.

The more you want, the bigger the gap, the more you can take the opportunity to raise the price and make a good fortune.

"That's right, it's too much, I don't have much food here, and it's not enough to sell the people, let alone provide it to the army."

Zhou Hai also pretended to frown, and his heart was the same as Sun Bu, and he was going to be happy.

"Cui Shangshu, I'm afraid we have disappointed you in this matter, this million stones of grain and grass is indeed too much.

If you ask for a thousand stones, I can make it up. ”

Liu Feng also nodded and said the prepared words.

"That's right, forgive us for not complying with our fate!"

"Cui Shangshu, don't embarrass us, I really don't have this food in my hands."

The rest of the people also glanced at each other and shook their heads at Cui Xiuye together.

"Do you really want to ignore the interests of Datang for the sake of those petty profits?"

Hearing them say this, Cui Xiuye also sneered, slapped the table with a slap, and his face was full of anger.

"Cui Shangshu, it's not that we ignore the interests of Datang, it's really that we really can't do anything!

One million stone grains and grass, that's an astronomical amount! ”

Sun Bu's face also had a hint of coldness, anyone can slap the table, not that whoever has a loud voice will be powerful.

The rest of the people are the same, and they are not afraid of what Cui Xiuye will do at all.

After all, the food is in their hands, and only they can easily raise a million stone of grain and grass.

"You really don't have to worry about my next price limit order to limit the price of grain, and even if you have more grain in your hands, you can't sell it at a high price."

Cui Xiuye glanced at a few people, and also frowned.

"Cui Shangshu, you can do this, anyway, we don't think about making money from this grain, so let's limit the price."

Zhou Hai also smiled slightly, price limit?

If this solves the problem, why would you come to talk to me?

He now wishes that the other party would issue a price limit order.

The price limit can only allow large and small grain merchants in Chang'an to join forces to boycott together, after all, whoever buys grain has a cost.

If you limit the price, people may lose money when they sell grain, and at that time, everyone would rather let the grain mold than flow into the market.

Demand determines the price, and I am afraid that not only Chang'an, but even the entire Datang may be affected.

Once the price of food rises, it will be even more difficult for the people of Datang to live.

"That's right, the price limit is the price limit, so people in the province say that we are hoarding and making a fortune."

"Well, I very much agree with Cui Shangshu's idea and support the price limit."

"The price limit is very good, so that the grain price in Chang'an should be able to stabilize."

Several grain merchants expressed their support to Cui Xiuye for the other party's price limit.

"You guys. . . Tell me, at what price will you let go of this grain!

After all, the war is imminent, and I must have food.

Of course, your prices are too high, so don't blame me for transferring them from somewhere else, and then the grain you have in your cantonment will have to rot in the warehouse. ”

Cui Xiuye also knew that the price limit order was out of place, and the reason why he said it now was to show all his embarrassment.

Let these grain merchants know that they are cornered, and then they will go crazy.

"We didn't want much! Now the market is like this, the food is already high, and even if we can help you raise food and grass, it may be very expensive! ”

Sun Bu smiled slightly, and finally got down to business, the price of grain was already doomed.

As for how much it will rise, it naturally depends on how they operate.

Maybe doubled, maybe tenfold, maybe even a hundredfold.

Of course, all this depends on the urgency of the imperial court.

"You mean you have to sell it for a sky-high price?"

Cui Xiuye slapped the table again, showing his incompetence and anger to the fullest.

"How is it possible, we are not evildoers, we just don't want to lose money, and I hope Cui Shangshu will not be surprised."

Zhou Hai also glanced at Cui Xiuye, what can you do if you slap the table.

Incompetent people should not be embarrassed here.

"Huh. Oh, if you do that, you will be punished.

If you don't agree to supply grain and grass to the imperial court now, then after this war is over, the household department will never cooperate with you, and I still have the right to be the head of the household department.

Think about whether you want to fight for short-term benefits or long-term arrangements, after all, there are not just five of you in Chang'an.

As long as I raise the price a little bit, some people will sell me. ”

Cui Xiuye also stood up directly, his eyes full of anger.

Although he was acting this time, he was also really angry.

These mercenary businessmen are really going to be angry with him.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't move them, Cui Xiuye really wanted to drag all these people out and cut them down.

"Cui Shangshu, what are you going to do?"

Looking at Cui Xiuye's back, Sun Bu also smiled slightly and asked him.

"What am I going to do? Ben Shangshu disdains to be with you, so think for yourself how to make a choice! ”

Cui Xiuye didn't even look back, and went directly to the layman.

"Head of the house!"

He was guarding outside the house, and he was stunned when he looked at the head of the house who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Let's go!"

Cui Xiuye directly snorted and took the lead and walked out.

He glanced around the room after drinking wine, and also followed behind Cui Xiuye.

"Shopkeeper Sun, let's go too!"

Zhou Hai was about to get up and leave as he spoke, his eyes full of pride.

This time, Cui Xiuye was deflated, and he got such important news, which made him want to go back quickly and report the news to his owner.

"What's the hurry, since Cui Shangshu doesn't want to eat with those of us who are covered in copper stench, we might as well eat by ourselves!"

Sun Bu also smiled slightly, this time it can be said that he won a battle, so he should naturally celebrate it.

"Shopkeeper Sun is right, it's all here, wouldn't it be a pity if you don't taste the spring breeze drunk duck in this spring breeze building?"

Liu Feng also nodded, now that the situation is clear, as long as he can stabilize his position, he has to make a lot of money this time.

"That is, when you want to taste this spring breeze drunk duck and then go back."

"Well, it's also great for us to rub it ourselves!"
