Chapter 117: My Jiaojiao
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Zhai Jiu.
Could it be that he was angry because of what just happened?
Don't want to transport grain to Kaiyang?
Everyone regretted and was at a loss, and they didn't dare to speak casually at this moment, so they had to look at Song Shenxiao, hoping that the prime minister could preside over the overall situation.
Hearing Zhai Jiu's words, Song Shenxiao's face also sank, "What do you want?" ”
Zhai Jiu lazily crossed his hands behind his head, looked at Song Shenxiao, and smiled casually, "Prime Minister Song, what do you think I want?" ”
"To unload, there must be a granary."
"This is easy to do, there are several official warehouses near the dock, which can be rented to you." Song Shenxiao replied immediately.
"Rent?" Zhai Jiu raised his eyebrows and began to sell miserably without sincerity, "For the disaster of Kaiyang, all my belongings have already been advanced, how can I still have money to rent?" ”
"Lend it to you." Song Shenxiao grinded his teeth and said a borrowed word.
"How long to borrow?" Zhai Jiu has to inch in.
"Three months." After estimating the disaster situation in Kaiyang, Song Shenxiao gave a conservative figure.
After all, a warehouse for storing 20,000 quintals of grain requires at least ten.
Ten warehouses, just one month's rent, will cost 100,000 taels of silver.
With this mouth, Zhai Jiu took 300,000 taels of silver from him!
Seeing Song Shenxiao gritting his teeth, Zhai Jiu smiled with satisfaction, put his finger to his lips and whistled.
When the flotilla heard the order, they immediately moved and sailed quickly to the shore.
The people on board did not unload the cargo immediately, but set up a board that went straight to the shore.
walked from the board to the shore, directly set up a price bid, and started trading at the dock.
"Rice, five hundred dollars a load, don't miss it when you pass by."
"Five hundred dollars, you can't buy it and suffer a loss, five hundred dollars, you can't buy it, it's really worth the money!"
Several big men shouted while beating gongs and drums, and at the same time resisted the bags of rice from the top of the boat.
Hearing this price, the common people went crazy in an instant.
Hurriedly rushed forward to scramble, "I'm me, I'm going to have a burden!" ”
"What's the point of having a load? I want ten quintals! ”
"I, twenty quintals!"
"I, a hundred quintals!"
"I, two hundred quintals!"
Hearing this outrageous number, Zhai Jiu squinted his eyes and gestured, and a big man immediately pulled out the man and threw it in front of Zhai Jiu.
This person Zhai Jiu is familiar.
Isn't this the person who just shrank in the crowd and fanned the flames?
Seeing that he was dressed and deliberately pretended to be poor and miserable, he had no calluses on his hands, and he was not a coolie at all.
"You're selling rice, aren't you? Want to buy rice from us and sell it yourself? With just one glance, Zhai Jiu recognized his identity.
No wonder in the crowd just now, there were always people jumping up and down to the rhythm of the zone, and it turned out to be a peer making trouble.
He didn't say anything, just looked at Song Shenxiao, "Prime Minister Song, what do you think?" ”
Song Shenxiao had a calm face, looked at the merchants who were paralyzed on the ground and trembling, and said without hesitation: "Punish five hundred quintals of confiscated grain to set an example." ”
After saying that, he ignored the merchant's plea and stepped forward to announce, "In order for all the people to be able to buy grain, everyone can only buy a maximum of three loads of grain at a time." ”
As soon as these words came out, some people showed dissatisfied looks.
But most of the people cheered.
Especially those who have no money and power, those who can't rob others, and those who don't have much money.
At least that way, the grain won't be bought by the rich.
Listening to Song Shenxiao's decisive voice, and looking at the way the people really loved him, the two people hidden in the darkness not far away fell into deep thought.
Shen Jiaojiao didn't expect that Fu Ti said to take her to see the scenery, and this is the scenery she saw.
She said that Zhai Jiu couldn't see anyone for a while, so she was busy here?
However, it makes sense.
Zhai Jiu doesn't have a serious industry like her.
In the past, the road of selling smuggled salt was blocked, and we always had to find new ways to make money.
Kaiyang is suffering from a shortage of food, and selling grain is indeed a good method.
And this time is the right way, as long as he works hard, no one can help him in the future.
As for Song Shenxiao, the reason why he and Zhai Jiu came together is probably helpless.
He came to Kaiyang this time, and I heard that he had made a military order.
If he can't understand Kaiyang's management, his prime minister will probably come to an end.
But the strange thing is that the imperial court sent him to Kaiyang, but did not give him any supplies.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
Even if he Song Shenxiao can, he can't conjure rice out of thin air.
I heard that now, Kaiyang's granary is empty.
If there is no more food, I am afraid that this Kaiyang will have a big mess.
If Kaiyang really made a mess under Song Shenxiao's hands, not only would he not be able to keep the position of prime minister, but he would also be worried about his life.
So he knew about Zhai Jiu's previous past, but he still hit it off with him and made some deals.
This person is really bold and careful, and he knows how to seize the opportunity.
"Jiaojiao, you say, will a person like Song Shenxiao be a bad person?" Fu Ti's deep voice made Shen Jiaojiao fall into deep thought.
Looking at the crowd of people not far away and full of happy atmosphere, Shen Jiaojiao thought for a while and gave a cautious answer, "He is a capable person." ”
Hearing her words, Fu Ti smiled.
Stretching out his hand to hug her in his arms, Fu Ti praised dotingly, "My Jiaojiao said it so well." ”
"Who's your Jiaojiao!" Shen Jiaojiao struggled and stepped on Fu Ti's foot.
Fu Ti let her step on it indifferently, his thin lips touched her somewhat cold forehead, frowned, and said, "Let's go, there's no drama to watch." ”
"It's cold here, don't get caught in the cold."
One struggled, one restrained, and the two gradually left the dock.
And Song Shenxiao also followed Zhai Jiu and worked until the second half of the night.
Sending the last people away, Song Shenxiao sent someone with Zhai Jiu's people to unload the remaining grain and put it in the warehouse nearby, which finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The food hurdle has finally passed.
"My ultimatum." Zhai Jiu walked to Song Shenxiao's side and stretched out his hand.
Song Shenxiao didn't say a word, and directly handed him the ultimatum, "Let your ship leave early and bring some grain." ”
Hearing this, Zhai Jiu smiled, "Don't worry, make money, I'm more anxious than you." ”
"Okay, I'm going to make money in the next wave of food."
Hearing his words, Song Shenxiao was silent for a while, and then nodded.
After all, it's not like that for a businessman to never make money.
The point is unrealistic.
If he stopped Zhai Jiu from making money, then Zhai Jiu would try to play tricks in places he didn't expect.
This time it's ten warehouses, who knows what will be next time?
"One cent at most."
Leaving this sentence, Song Shenxiao took his subordinates and left the dock in a majestic manner.
