Chapter 184: The Great Rich Merchant Dilemma Preparing for Breeding

Another day, Jiang Minglian came in a hurry again, this time he was shocked, which made Mu Tian very dissatisfied.

"Master, Chang'an Township is selling rice again, which is also a thousand stones, and the price has increased twelve times compared to before."

"Chang'an Township again? Twelve? Mu Tian's face turned gloomy.

"But you bought them all?"

"I bought them all, but it cost a lot of gold."

Jiang Minglian's face was very ugly, if it was only a thousand stones, it would be nothing to come out with this bit of gold, but at this moment, another thousand stones, and the price was raised, which was unbelievable.

Since Chang'an Township can be sold twice, maybe there will be a third time, if the price is raised every time, even if the lord is a wealthy businessman, he will not last long.

What's more, the lord has spent a huge amount of money to buy most of Xianyang's grain.

"I heard that the rice in Chang'an Township can yield sixteen stones per mu, but is there such a thing?" Mu Tian thought for a moment and asked.

He'd heard about it, and it was all public.

"Yes!"

"How much fertile land is there in Chang'an Township?"

"The old slave doesn't know very well, it is said that His Majesty gave him a thousand acres of land twice before and after."

"Two thousand acres is 2,000 acres, and according to the yield of 16 stones per mu, the idealization is about 30,000 stones, which is a lot!" Mu Tian muttered, and then said loudly, "That Li Zhao is really good at camping, and when I completely raise the price of grain, he will sit on the ground and raise the price, and choose the opportunity to sell, which is really shameless." ”

"That's it! It's only 30,000 stones, and this old man can still afford it. ”

"Steward, there should still be some reserves in Chang'an Township, but no matter what, as soon as they sell, you will buy it immediately, no matter how much it is."

30,000 stones, he can still afford it, and when the grain in Chang'an Township is exhausted, then the next thing is his world.

"Yes, master, the old slave will go and prepare enough gold to completely control the grain in Xianyang."

Then, the daily grain sales in Chang'an Township began to increase, from the original 1,000 stone to 5,000 stone, and then to 10,000 stone, and the price also rose together, and it has reached 20 times.

Jiang Minglian gritted his teeth and bought them all.

"It's already 30,000 stones, and their rice should be sold out!" The housekeeper came to Mu Tian like a meritorious one and reported.

In order to buy the 30,000 stone of rice, he spent a lot of gold, and his heart hurt when he saw it.

"Hmmm! It should be about the same, and in two days, if there is no rice to sell again, it will be sold out. Mu Tian said with certainty.

However, what made the two of them angry was that the next day, the rice from Chang'an Township was transported to the market again, and this time it was 30,000 stones, and the price soared to 22 times.

Twenty-two times the price of food can definitely destroy a country.

When Jiang Minglian learned about it, the whole person was like a chicken in the water, stuck on the ground, out of breath.

The old man is definitely gone, and the sum of the previous days has appeared, and the price has soared so much, this, how can this be?

He didn't dare to buy them all again, so he immediately found Mu Tian.

"What?" After listening to the report, Mu Tian retreated, his face was like paper.

"Thirty thousand stones, how can there be thirty thousand stones? Where did their food come from? ”

"The old slave doesn't know either, but now is not the time to dwell on this issue, can we still take the 30,000 stone rice?" The housekeeper reminded Mu Tian.

"It's all at this time, of course you have to take it, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted?" Mu Tian was ruthless and made a decision.

"But their price has soared to twenty-two times, 30,000 stones, a lot of money, since we bought it, we have spent a lot of money, and there is not much savings."

The butler told the truth.

"How much money is left?"

"Less than a thousand."

Mu Tian frowned, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "I sold part of the land." ”

"No, sir, this is the last thing left to you by the old master, and if you sell it, we will become a complete cheap businessman." The housekeeper discouraged.

The hierarchy of the Great Qin class is clear, the scholar is the noble, the farmer is second, the merchant is the cheapest, and the land is the farmer, although the status is not as good as the sergeant, but it will not be abandoned, but if there is no land, it will become the existence second only to slavery.

Cheap merchants!

Even if the family has a lot of money, it can't get rid of the status restrictions.

Mu Tian paced back and forth.

By now, Xianyang has been in jeopardy, but his family wealth has almost been dispersed, and he can't back down from this situation, otherwise his previous efforts will be wasted.

"Otherwise, we can buy as much as we can with the only savings fund."

"And Chang'an Township has already sold 60,000 stones, and it should be sold out."

Housekeeper advice.

Mu Tian thought about it and nodded, and that was the only way.

60,000 stones, which is already equivalent to the grain output of many landlords, even if Chang'an Township is favored by His Majesty, it is impossible to have more.

So, Jiang Minglian took the remaining savings and went to buy rice in Chang'an Township.

Selling 30,000 stone of grain in one day, Li Jinong and the housekeeper couldn't imagine it at all.

Looking at the gold that could not be counted in front of him, he couldn't move his feet, and his eyes lit up.

They had previously blamed Li Zhao for raising the price so high, and they also thought that it was difficult to sell it again, but they underestimated the wealth of the Xianyang dignitaries and the financial resources of the regulars.

"Huh! The one surnamed Jiang is really a big customer, the previous one-time acquisition, this time it is even more heroic, he bought most of it at once, he is the nobleman of our Chang'an Township, the housekeeper! The next time you see him, be sure to thank him. ”

The butler patted his chest, looked at the golden thing with his eyes, his eyes did not blink, and said, "What the master said is that the next time the old slave prepares a gift, he will thank him well." ”

"Uh-huh!" Li Jinong was rarely happy, but the next moment his stomach made a few purrings.

After a busy day, I didn't know that I was hungry, so I waved my hand arrogantly and said to the management:

"Today, I am happy, master, I decided to buy some good ones and go back to treat everyone, you go to prepare, you must prepare expensive ones, we seem to have not eaten meat for a long time."

"Let's do it! That's good stuff! ”

The people of Daqin are poor, and meat is a rare thing.

The meat is generally concentrated on the dinner table of dignitaries, of course, Chang'an Township is also considered a noble, so it is naturally indispensable, but after Li Zhao spent a lot of money, Chang'an Township was once in poverty, so he hadn't seen meat for a long time, but at this moment, he made a lot of money, and he completely earned back all the money consumed by Li Zhao, so he had to celebrate.

"Rouge?" The housekeeper was embarrassed, "Master, with the soaring price of food, the meat has also risen sharply, we have hundreds of people, how much gold do we have to spend!" ”

Li Jinong was not happy, but he was still arrogant, "As much as you want, what you have is money, go ahead!" ”

The housekeeper is helpless, the master has said so, what can he say? But he thinks it's not good to waste it like this!

Today, Chang'an Township is festive, a big banquet, can be described as grand, peasants, slaves, guards are all on the table, a harmonious atmosphere.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the housekeeper found Li Zhao with drunkenness.

"Young master, the old slave is happy today! Since the old slave became a slave, he thought that this life was a cheap life, but after meeting the young master, the old slave not only did not feel the lowliness of being a slave, but was proud. ”

These words aroused the same feeling of the big guys, and they all gathered around and looked at Li Zhao gratefully.

It is this young man who gives them hope, so that they do not feel inferior to slavery, and let them have a stable life and a good income.

This is not nonsense, since everyone learned that the slavery in Chang'an Township can not only have enough food and clothing, but also receive a monthly salary, I don't know how many people envy it, so the people who came to become slaves in Chang'an Township do not know how much, but Li Zhao's consistent style is equality, and he did not say anything about slavery in his eyes, so he rarely agreed.

Some people can't, they can only become farmers in Chang'an Township, or the long-term kind, so the rice in Chang'an Township can yield 20 stones per mu, and they also have a share of the credit.

This is the so-called, people respect their karma, and karma gives to others.

All of this was brought by the young master, if it weren't for the young master, there would be no where they are today.

"Yes, young master, if it was before, we might not be able to eat Bi meat when we meet the New Year's Pass, but when we get here, although there is not Bi every day, there will always be no less Bi meat."

"Young Master, you are our reborn parents, we have decided, and we are willing to become the slave of the young master for generations."

When Li Zhao heard these words, his heart was very touched.

The people of Daqin are all simple, as long as they give a little favor, they will be grateful to Dade and serve as the Lord all their lives, where is it like the previous life society, even if they give charity, they may stab themselves in the back in the end.

Someone once said that people are strangers, but he will never harm you, and it will always be people you know.

This is very different from the simple Chang'an villagers.

Li Zhao stood up, looked at the people with tears in their eyes, and looked at the fragrant meat on the table, full of pride.

"Everyone, thank you for looking up to me Li Zhao so much."

"My Chang'an Township can have today, it all depends on you! It's not the credit of me Li Zhao alone, so don't say these words. ”

Li Zhao pushes the hand.

"From now on, there will be no more slaves in my Chang'an Township, and there will be no debate about status and rank, only family members, and you are all my Li Zhao's family."

"I, Li Zhao, have meat to eat, and you also have meat to eat."

These words hammered everyone's hearts like a drum.

All knelt down and wept. Aspect.

"Young Master Xie!"

Li Zhao sighed that the people of Daqin were really innocent, and a word would make them return to their hearts, and a word would make them proud.

was excited for a while, and said again: "From now on, all my family members can eat meat every day and eat meat every day." ”

"Really? Young Master Xie! ”

Everyone was full of disbelief, but when they saw the young master's sincere eyes, they all boiled, and they all flocked to him, lifted Li Zhao up, and shouted words of joy.

This moment.

Everybody knows.

From now on, the hearts of the people of Chang'an will be completely unified, which is like a huge force.

With this strength, Li Zhao firmly believes that in the future, Chang'an Township will become a place that everyone yearns for.

At this moment, Xia Wuhe looked at the young man, his own grandson, and his voice choked with excitement.

This is Ah Fang's son, even if Ah Fang has no news, he is proud and at ease, Ah Fang gave birth to a great son.

He thanked God for allowing him to see his grandson and his spiritual sustenance throughout his life when he was old.

I've seen him so good.

Also excited is Shen Gongzi, since coming to Chang'an Township, he has felt the harmony of the people of Chang'an Township, felt their diligence, and his heart was cultivated, and the source of all this is the person in front of him who is younger than himself.

"There are no more slaves in my Chang'an Township, only family members, is this equality and fairness? Will the people support everyone if they are treated equally? ”

"If the imperial court can do the same, what a prosperous era it will be." Shen Gongzi seemed to be a little enlightened, but he shook his head and sighed, "But how difficult it is for Daqin to do this!" ”

"The teacher has maintained all this and practiced all this with himself, but why can't I do it? Everyone flatters me and tends to be inflammatory, but what do I get, what I get is complacency, conceit, and after I lose, I avoid them one by one, why? ”

Shen Gongzi was very puzzled, and gradually put his eyes on the "Political Commentary" in his hand, and turned to that page: practicing equality.

I pondered it again.

The housekeeper also shouted the same words with everyone, but the pain in his heart came after another, and he was extremely helpless.

This old and young master is not a family, I really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are in charge, one buys meat on a large scale, and the other is even more outrageous, and eats meat at once, this is all gold!

So, he hurriedly pulled Li Zhao to a no-man's corner, and said solemnly: "Young master, you, you are too arrogant, eat meat at once, we Chang'an Township can't afford it." ”

"No problem!"

What is the matter with Li Zhaodao's housekeeper looking for him, it turns out that this is the matter, what is so difficult about eating meat all at once, in his previous life, he ate meat every day, and he may not be able to bear it.

Isn't it just meat? He has a way.

Daqin does not have the concept of industrialization of aquaculture, the natural market supplies very little meat, and the scarcity is expensive, and natural meat is so expensive that ordinary people can't afford it, but he has this concept in his heart!

It's not difficult to eat meat at all, isn't it okay to breed on a large scale? Now the entire Chang'an Township is his, and it is too easy to open a thousand-acre breeding workshop, as for the capital, he is not lacking at all at this moment.

Of course, farming requires technology, and he has not been exposed to this industry in his previous life, but he has a system!

After figuring it out, Li Zhao was a little excited, this business is good, not only can he fulfill his promise, but also rely on breeding to become a business, the best.

Seeing the young master pondering, the housekeeper thought that the young master had realized it later, but he was embarrassed to retract what he had just said, so he was ruthless.

The young master is embarrassed, but he can!

"No, the old slave can't watch the beautiful Chang'an Township being tossed by you like this, the old slave has to put down this old face and withdraw what he just said."

So, the housekeeper was about to go out, but was stopped by Li Zhao, who reacted.

"Butler, you don't have to, isn't it just eating meat at once, what's so difficult?"

"Young master, you" The housekeeper was speechless.

What's so hard about it? A meal of meat cost a lot of gold, such as a ton of meat, that is to kill Chang'an Township.

He thought that the young master was still in the middle of what he said just now and couldn't look back, or he was drunk, so he said, "Young master, you are drunk, the old slave immediately asked Ah Chao to serve you to rest, and the old slave went to the old man to discuss." ”

Li Zhao smiled, it's really the emperor who is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry!

However, the housekeeper said this for the good of Chang'an Township, and he was very competent.

"Housekeeper, young master, I said it's true, have you ever heard of the industrialization of breeding?"
