"My lord, all the grain sold by our Xue family's shop has been eaten by the major grain merchants in the state capital, what should we do now?"

Wang Fei came to the mansion and looked at Jia Yun to report what had happened recently and asked.

If it is an ordinary person, even if it is a little wiser, it may be difficult to solve this mysterious and complicated situation, and he can only hide as a shrinking turtle.

But Jia Yun was not that kind of character, her face was indifferent, and her expression was as usual, "What are you panicking about? How much grain is still in the Xue family's rice warehouse?"

"According to the adult's plan, it will only be able to support this month." Wang Fei thought for a moment and said quickly.

Jia Yun nodded: "Then you will go down and order someone to raise the price again, eleven taels of silver per stone of grain."

Wang Fei was stunned when he heard this, and said in shock: "My lord, no! The sky-high price of eleven taels of silver is simply a shocking price, who will buy our grain!"

Jia Yun shook his head: "The sky-high price of ten taels of silver, the people can't afford it, and the people who can buy our grain now are other than those female businessmen and those stupid people who fantasize about getting rich one day?" If they want to die, it will be done for them."

A few people standing next to him also nodded and smiled and said, "Your Excellency is really wise, now that the people have no oil and water to squeeze in the disaster year, they have all become poor ghosts. And the adults sell grain at a high price of ten taels of silver, except for those black-hearted merchants, I am afraid that no ordinary person dares to participate in such a huge gambler situation."

Jia Yun returned to her place, sat down again, and said indifferently, "Aren't they rich? Let them bleed this time."

After that, Jia Yun looked at a few people beside him: "You immediately go to other provinces and places to spread the news here, whether it is the means of the government and the yamen, or the methods of the people, in a word, I will see enough grain appear on the dock in a month." If not, you will also die before I die."

Seeing Jia Yun's threat, everyone nodded solemnly.

Even if they want to be lazy, under the threat of death, they have to use ten points of strength to try to complete this thing.

It's not about the life or death of others, it's only about one's own life and death.

People are like this, if they are not so urgent that they burn their eyebrows, they will not feel anything about the changes in the outside world, and there is always a strange mentality in their hearts that they have nothing to do with themselves, anyway, the dead people are not themselves, why should they care about the lives and deaths of those people?

Now Jia Yun is using death to spur these people, so that these people have to work for themselves.

Once people have a weakness and want to live, then they will willingly become cattle and horses.

This is also the emperor's imperial mind to control the people.

Soon, according to Jia Yun's arrangement, the Xue family's shop once again raised the price of grain sold to the outside world.

For a while, it once again caused curses and curses from the people in the city.

It's just that the Xue family's shop doesn't care about it, and it's still my own thing.

Even, in order to avoid trouble, and some dazed people blocked Jia Yun's plan, Jia Yun even sent soldiers and horses from the state capital to guard the door of the Xue family's shop to clean up the troublesome people.

When the people saw this scene, they could only blame one or two behind their backs, and they no longer dared to stop the Xue family from opening the door to do business.

"What does this Jia Yun mean? Why has the price of food been raised again?"

Those black-hearted businessmen who were against Jia Yun, seeing the Xue family's actions, were also a little confused by Jia Yun's operations.

The price of this grain has risen again and again, which is really a confusing thing.

"You sent someone to inquire if there has been any change in our state capital, why do I feel vaguely uneasy in my heart?" Out of the intuition of a businessman, any successful businessman will be alert and begin to look for the key to Jia Yun's breakthrough.

Soon, the situation in the entire state capital was also grasped by the merchants, and no traces of Jia Yun's activities and layout were found.

It seems that Jia Yun is brainless and stupid, she doesn't understand economics and business at all, and she just messes around for a while, trying to scare them to death in this way.

After making it clear that Jia Yun was just pretending, but in fact it was nothing, everyone dispelled the doubts in their hearts and began to mock Jia Yun: "Hey, I thought this Jia Yun had the means to reach the sky! It turned out to be such a stupid character, it seems that we are overly nervous, and we look up to this Jia Yun."

"Looks like we're on the safe side! Come, come, play, dance."

"Wait! We'll wait to see how Jia Yun will deal with the food crisis in the next second month."

「..........」

The merchants treated this minister like a monkey, and felt very ridiculous, that they were already sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai and were about to succeed.

The next situation also went according to the ideas of these people.

They bought all the grain from the Xue family's shop.

For a while, the Xue family sold less and less grain to the outside world, and it was about to bottom out.

At the same time, the official food in the official yamen has gradually bottomed out, and everyone is about to run out of food.

Don't say that it's the people, even the bureaucrats and the officers and soldiers of the state capital became panicked, and hurriedly ran over to Jia Yun and said, "My lord, if it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be trouble. If there is no food, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable!"

After listening to the words of these people, Jia Yun found the officials and spies who had been sent out to spread the news before, and said, "What I told you, how can you do?"

"My lord, it's really Zhuge Liang alive! As soon as the grain merchants from the various provinces heard that a stone of grain was worth tens of taels of silver in our place, and that it was an unbelievably high price that they had never heard of in their lives, they immediately became moved and escorted the grain over as quickly as possible."

"Not only that, but there are many places where food is already on the way."

"Good thing! Great news."

"My lord, at the docks outside the city, the first batch of merchant ships have already brought grain over. The merchant said that he could provide 30,000 stone of grain for the adults!"

Hearing the news reported by the people below, Jia Yun was also slightly stunned, and couldn't help but ponder, "Are you sure that the merchant said that he could provide me with 30,000 stone of grain?"

30,000 stone of grain is not a small amount.

1 stone is equal to 10 buckets, which is converted into the current weight of about 120 catties, and 30,000 stones is 3.6 million catties.

It's a big deal, it's a big deal.

This person is extraordinary, Jia Yun must go and meet him in person.
