Chapter 275: The Isolated Family Rice Merchant
"Marquis Lanling, eighty wen and one stone, we are willing to sell them all!" Dugu Yan sighed.
Liang Xiao frowned, then stretched out, and looked at Duguyan with a smile.
"Don't you know where you're going?"
When the rice merchants heard this, they said: "The cost of our grain alone is more than 100 Wen......
"One hundred wen?" Qin Baili and the others' expressions changed.
According to their estimates, the purchase price is 30 yuan, and if the cost per stone is 70 yuan more...... It means that they have been transported back and forth several times, and maybe even some of them have been transported to Beihu?
Liang Xiao said: "That's your business, the so-called self-inflicted sins can't live, if it's just normal business activities, Ben Hou doesn't have to deal with you so much." ”
These rice businesses knew that they were at a loss, and they knew better that Liang Xiao did not eat the power of the family behind him, so they exchanged words for a while, and finally compromised.
"Fifty wen and one stone, it's our bottom line!"
Liang Xiao fell silent.
The hearts of the rice merchants are dripping blood.
In this way, they can only recoup half of the cost!
If you add in the high commercial tax...... Then you can only take back three or four percent!
But the situation is stronger than people, and there is no shortage of food in Yanzhou.
The means of the Beihu people to invade the Great Zhou almost always relied on cavalry attacks, and they retreated if the strong attack failed.
After all, so many war horses also need forage, and if they can't take the city, they can't stay for a long time.
Therefore, as long as the grain in Yanzhou is sufficient.
The two million stone grain in their hands became chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to abandon them......
They have already calculated that even if Liang Xiao transports this grain to other war zones, he will have to pay more freight, and other areas in the north will not be short of grain this year.
But soon they found out that Liang Xiao was looking at them with idiotic eyes.
"Didn't you read the notice of the Taishou Mansion? Isn't that plainly written? Twenty wen and one stone! ”
Liang Xiao's sudden stern tone shocked the group of rice merchants.
"Twenty wen and one stone, it's a bit too deceitful, isn't it?" Dugu Yan said angrily.
Liang Xiao immediately pulled down his face.
"Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and you know in your hearts who is the one who deceives others too much. If you dare to sweep away the surplus grain in the market at a high price of 2 million stones, Benhou will not cure you of the crime of harboring evil intentions, and you will be considered blessed and have a great life. ”
"Now, the Taishou Mansion only offers a price of twenty wen, whether you like to sell it or not, and if you don't sell it, it won't get in the way if you burn it!"
Liang Xiao's face didn't matter, and he saw that the rice merchants were clenching their silver teeth.
They originally thought that even if they could not sell it for 250 wen per stone, it would not be a problem to sell it for 150 wen, as long as they and the rice merchants united.
But they still ignored Liang Xiao's intelligence diffusion ability and directly recruited rice merchants from other places.
Of course, the key is the extra one million stone grain in Liang Xiao's hand "out of thin air".
Twenty wen per stone, this price, not to mention the waist cut, directly cut to the knees!
Qin Baili also smiled and said, "Don't expect to hand over the grain at hand to other rice merchants and let them sell it on their behalf, because the Taishou Mansion has already collected enough, and will not collect another grain of rice!" ”
Duguyan and the others were guessed by Qin Baili and almost suffocated!
Can't even go down this road?
"I will give you only one day to think about it, and after a day I will show you the wrath of the people."
Liang Xiao's reminder made the expressions of the rice merchants change greatly.
"You're going to slander us with a newspaper again?"
"If your mind is not right, I only state the facts, how can I slander it?" Liang Xiao pouted.
Dugu Yan trembled.
They bought at a high price and sold rice at a sky-high price, but they were just waiting for the people to run away after they were sold, and let him Yanzhou collapse.
But the advent of newspapers has made it easier for people to understand what happened, which ......
Lin Xiu on the side grinned: "When the time comes, the Taishou Mansion will end the rationing of grain and sell it normally, and the people will only buy the grain from the government, understand?" ”
"That's right!" Qin Xun couldn't help but add, "The Taishou Mansion helps the people, which is also Your Majesty's arrangement, and the Marquis of Lanling is responsible for implementing it." After all, the people of Yanzhou have had a hard time all these years, and His Majesty has long had the intention to work for a whole year. ”
The rice merchants only felt a cool breath rushing straight to the Tianling Gai!
Liang Xiao and even the entire think tank of Taishou Mansion seem to have calculated everything!
Because the empress has a surplus in the treasury this year, she supports Liang Xiao at any cost!
If their grain is not sold to Liang Xiao, they can only smash it in their hands and wait for it to rot......
"At this time tomorrow, the Taishou Mansion will completely close the door to purchasing grain, and you don't have to come again, don't do anything!"
Liang Xiao's categorical words resounded in the ears of all rice merchants.
They didn't go home until they got home, and the phrase was still echoing in their heads.
"Twenty pennies and one stone, it's too fucking less! This beast is going to cut off its offspring! Duguchen rarely took the case and scolded.
"Young master, this grain is no longer important to the Taishou Mansion, it is just a burden to us......" Dugu Yan wanted to cry without tears, and added, "The imperial court has recently had enough money in the treasury, and Liang Xiao's relief to the people seems to be a plan prepared in advance, which can not only buy people's hearts, but also suppress the price of rice......"
They started playing last year and thought they would win big.
Now it is a complete failure, and it has lost tens of thousands of taels.
The rice merchants of several big families lost a total of more than 200,000 taels of silver!
Duguchen blushed and said in a trembling voice: "Let me think about it again!" ”
In the Taishou Mansion, Liang Xiao held a celebration banquet to reward a group of civil and military generals.
Since entering Yanzhou, everyone felt unprecedented ease for the first time.
Food shortages have been resolved.
Liang Xiao's tone was firm: "They will definitely sell!" ”
"Why is Master Hou so sure? Twenty wen a stone is too low, right? These families are not short of this money, right? Lei Hong touched his bald head, looking puzzled.
Liang Xiao explained: "These families are very rich, but the money is not blown by the wind. On weekdays, they spend a lot of money, and that is their personal enjoyment. And trying to make them lose money is even more uncomfortable than digging up their ancestral graves. Twenty texts are exactly their psychological bottom line! ”
Qin Baili nodded and said: "These families have always been like this, it is a matter of time before they are soft, and they also want to stop losses in time." ”
Everyone was full of anticipation.
Twenty wen and one stone of grain, two million stones......
If it can be won, Yanzhou will really not worry about grain and grass.
At the same time, the Taishou Mansion has a monopoly on the local grain market, and can sell grain normally, and also take this opportunity to suck the blood of the family!
It's seamless!
"The Marquis of Lanling solves such a big trouble, and he will definitely leave a name in history in the future! Congratulations to the Marquis of Lanling! ”
Everyone raised their glasses to pay tribute to Liang Xiao.
After Liang Xiao replied, he said: "This matter is just to solve the urgent need, and what we have to do is to solve the difficulties of thousands of years!" ”
Everyone was puzzled, and only felt that what Liang Xiao said was too grandiose.
"Please teach the Marquis of Lanling!"
