Liang Xiao smiled and said: "Didn't I already make it clear, if you have the heart to cooperate, it will be beneficial to the people of Yanzhou, and you can have more priority convenience in selling grain in Yanzhou in the future, such as the official document of Taishou Mansion." ”

"Most of the local rice merchants in Yanzhou have left! According to this momentum, it is only a matter of time before the price of rice is one hundred and fifty wen and one stone, and it is enough for us to work hard for a few years, but we have to sell it for sixty wen and one stone......" Gong Ping became more and more dissatisfied, and looked at Long Wushuang again, "Qin Shuang, what do you think?" ”

Long Wushuang looked at the rice merchant of the Dongye clan, Dongye Nan: "What is the intention of the rice merchant of the Dongye clan?" ”

Dongye Nandao: "Our Dongye clan is a native of Yanzhou, so we naturally listen to the arrangement of Taishou, and the people take food as the sky......

Between the words, Higashino Minami was full of loss.

What a great price increase opportunity!

However, the head of the family, Dongye Xuanji, accepted the advice of his younger brother Dongye Hongji and decided to listen to Liang Xiao's arrangement, so as not to offend Liang Xiao and the people.

The Higashino clan refused to raise the price, and the other rice merchants also had to weigh whether to offend the Taishou Mansion.

However, the food here of the Dongye clan is not enough to support the entire Yanzhou for a month.

More support from rice merchants is needed.

"That's easy to do, Qin still has 200,000 stone grain in his hand, and he is willing to listen to the arrangement of the Marquis of Lanling, and the Marquis of Lanling can send someone to count it!" Long Wushuang was still smiling.

Liang Xiao's eyes lit up: "Two hundred thousand stones? That is enough for 400,000 Yanzhou people to support about half a month. What about the others? ”

The rest of the people reported the number, all of which were 30,000 to 50,000 stones.

"Apart from the Higashino clan and Mr. Qin, who else is willing to support my arrangement?" Liang Xiao asked.

"But then again, what does the Marquis of Lanling mean is that after we sell all the rice to you, the price of rice in Yanzhou will rise normally?" Gong Ping said dissatisfied.

"Yes, I am buying you now at a price of sixty wen and one stone, and you will think about it for yourself." Liang Xiao nodded.

"Isn't that just filling your own pockets and preparing to take the opportunity to raise the price to make money?" Gong Ping became more and more dissatisfied.

"You're mistaken." Liang Xiao shook his head.

"What is the opinion of the Marquis of Lanling?" Gong Ping spoke, this time in a heavily nasal voice.

Liang Xiao said: "These grains are not sold!" ”

"Not for sale? So what do you take it for? Feed the army? Gong Ping frowned.

Long Wushuang reminded: "Mr. Gong, if you say too much, you will lose. ”

Gong Ping pursed his lips and glanced at Long Wushuang unhappily.

Qin Baili and the others glanced at Gong Ping unhappily again.

According to reliable sources, this Gong Ping is a member of the Duanmu family, who specially came to interfere with the price of rice and force Liang Xiao to raise the price crazily.

Liang Xiao said: "I use these grains purchased by the Taishou Mansion for my own use, and I won't sell them anyway." ”

Long Wushuang and Higashino Nan's eyes changed.

Not for sale?

Gong Ping snorted: "Anyway, I have 100,000 stones in my hand, and I will not sell it if I don't raise the price, and the Marquis of Lanling will do it at his own convenience!" ”

After speaking, Gong Ping brushed his sleeves and left.

Five rice merchants hesitated for a moment and also bid farewell to Liang Xiao.

The rice merchants who stayed behind could provide a total of 400,000 stone of grain in their hands, and they were all willing to cooperate with Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao immediately ordered people to register one by one, go to inspect the grain, and prepare to buy it.

Long Wushuang was left by Liang Xiao as a guest.

"Listening to Mr. Qin's accent, is it a local?" Liang Xiao asked.

Long Wushuang said: "My home is south of Youzhou, so I can be regarded as a local, this time, I am also doing some business for my father." ”

Liang Xiao thought about it, chatted with Long Wushuang again, and asked Lei Hong to send him away.

Before leaving, Liang Xiao promised: "In the future, Mr. Qin can notify me when he comes to Yanzhou, and I will provide you with appropriate convenience." ”

After Long Wushuang left, Qin Baili said, "This Mr. Qin, it doesn't look simple. ”

"You think so, too?" Liang Xiao became interested.

"I have long seen that the Marquis of Lanling intends to take this opportunity to make friends with this person." Qin Baili nodded.

Liang Xiao explained: "This person is as gentle as jade on the surface, but as a stranger, he always gives me a feeling of extreme danger. ”

"What does the Marquis of Lanling think of this person?" Qin Baili asked.

"It's not much different from Xing Gongzi, but Xing Gongzi's position is clear." Liang Xiao said, and couldn't help sighing, "Such a person, if he is in a peaceful and prosperous world, he will be obscure." Once the world is in chaos and the heroes rise together, he is one of the heroes. If it can't be used by the Great Zhou, for the sake of our emperor, it should be killed to prevent future troubles. ”

Qin Baili was stunned.

Being able to get Liang Xiao's evaluation proves that this person is by no means simple.

Liang Xiao said again: "However, it is ominous to kill, it is better to focus on making friends and paying attention to its movements." ”

Qin Baili breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Liang Xiao is not a person who is easy to kill.

"Baili, you think so too, right?" Liang Xiao asked suddenly.

Qin Baili was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I still can't hide it from the Marquis of Lanling, I have the same opinion as the Marquis of Lanling." If not, it should be killed, but it can't be killed. ”

Liang Xiao smiled silently, and the two went back to do errands.

Lin Xiu and the others looked worried.

"Marquis of Lanling, 400,000 stone grain, if you don't count the surplus grain of the peasants, you can only support Yanzhou for a month at most! Counting the surplus grain of the peasants, I am afraid that it can only support two and a half months! ”

Liang Xiao looked calm: "It's okay, in fact, the reason why I said that I didn't need to inform Your Majesty was because there was a news from Pegasus in the capital as early as the day before yesterday." There will be a larger caravan of rice merchants, carrying huge quantities of grain, specifically to Yanzhou. ”

With that, Liang Xiao's gaze swept over everyone.

Only Qin Baili looked calm, and the rest of the people had a worried face.

Liang Xiao understood it and didn't break it.

"The capital is thousands of miles away from Yanzhou, and what rice merchant can support Yanzhou?" Qin Xun said curiously.

"The other party said that their master wants me to meet alone, so you should avoid it when the time comes." Liang Xiao smiled bitterly.

Everyone was skeptical and went to work.

Liang Xiao sat in place, looking at the letter in his hand, with a depressed expression.

This is Duan Yunchong's "family letter" to him.

The letter from home is worth 10,000 dollars!

But except for a few sentences of missing, the rest of the content is written ......

"Master Hou, the rice merchant has arrived!"

After the other party entered the house, Liang Xiao looked at the visitor and said, "Mr. Gongsun, don't come unharmed!" ”

The person who came was the leader of the Gongsun Family Chamber of Commerce in the capital, Gongsun Ling!

Gongsun Ling smiled and said, "Marquis Lanling, don't come unharmed!" ”

Liang Xiao said with a smile: "How could your Gongsun family think of transporting so much grain to the Youzhou area? One million stones, it's incredible! ”

"It was arranged in advance by the third lady of our family, and she was also worried that the people of Yanzhou and even the entire Youzhou would be hungry." Gongsun Ling said with a smile.

Liang Xiao fell silent.

Gongsun Yue!

The content of Duan Yunsleeve's letter is that the Gongsun family raised a million stone of grain from all over Youzhou and Jizhou, which is adjacent to Youzhou, and shipped it to Yanzhou.

This million stone of grain, because it is relatively scattered, outsiders do not know the specific amount.

The key is...... This news was told to him by Duan Yunsleeve.

Gongsun Ling hugged his fist to Liang Xiao and said, "Marquis Lanling, for the sake of one million stone grain, the third lady of my family invites you to see it." ”
