20,000 stone of grain sounds like a lot, but in fact, it is not eaten.

Houcheng used to be a large county with more than 10,000 households, and after many years of war, many people fled here with their families, and there are still more than 5,600 households, and the part of the people who fled from the famine before is also returning.

Not counting these, even if the food consumption of these more than 5,600 households a day is about 30,000 catties, plus the consumption of the Houcheng military camp, 50,000 catties is the normal consumption amount. If the people save a little, the consumption of 30,000 catties in the entire Houcheng is indispensable.

And Liaodong County has eighteen counties......

Xue Xu is now the master of Houcheng, and he knows the situation in Houcheng, and so on, he also knows how much food is consumed in the entire Liaodong County, and how big the food gap is in the market.

Xue Xu gave his friend a dissatisfied look, why did you bring 20,000 stones?

Ji Wuyin glared back at him angrily, 20,000 stones is less?

It was the first time he came to Liaodong County, and on the premise of not knowing whether the deal could be successful, he brought 20,000 stone of grain out of the house, which was already a great courage. And this is the first time to trade, so he has to be cautious.

In addition, has he forgotten that he is just a businessman, he used to do business with others, and the bulk transactions were almost like this. This old immortal's 20,000 stone of grain is still too little, he won't expect to feed the people of the entire county by himself, right?

"I wonder when your batch of grain will arrive in Liaodong County?"

"It's been two days."

In other words, settlement is imminent.

"I wonder if Mr. Ji is interested in the medicinal materials of Liaodong County?" Lu Songli asked.

Ji Wuyin nodded.

Lu Songli clapped his hands, and the people below sent a batch of boxes, which were lined up in the open space. After opening, it was full of medicinal samples.

Lu Songli looked at Ji Wuyin and made a gesture of please.

"Sixth Mrs. Qin, Ji is not very proficient in medicinal materials, can you ask someone else to come up and help me with my palm?" Ji Wuyin asked.

"Yes."

Ji Wuyin gave him a look, and his people went down, and after a while, he came up with a master.

When the old master passed by, he carried a smell of medicine.

Lu Songli picked up the tea and took two sips. They are all smart people, and they come prepared. Sure enough, Ji Wuyin's trading is so big, there are two brushes, and it is predictive of the development of events.

The master squatted down in front of the sample box of medicinal materials, picked up the medicinal materials and checked them one by one.

After the old master finished checking, he stood up and nodded slightly at Ji Wuyin.

"The medicinal materials in your Liaodong County are good, but I don't want to exchange all the food I brought into medicinal materials." He's not in the medicinal herb business!

Lu Songli understood, so she said to him, "Then look at what medicinal materials you need, and how much do you need?" ”

Ji Wuyin nodded and agreed with her suggestion.

These medicinal materials were purchased in the name of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, which was founded by Lu Songli, and the officials and businessmen who crossed the Ming Road were procured by the government.

Houcheng's public account had no money, and after her father took over as Houcheng's county guard, he took over the treasury of the county guard mansion as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Liaodong County is really not rich, and Shi Tao is a loyal monarch, and the taxes paid below are except for the grain reserved for the army's nutritional soldiers, and the rest are transported back to Chang'an by him, and there is almost no excess left to the local government.

It stands to reason that stabilizing grain prices is also something that the imperial government should do.

In later generations, state-owned enterprises such as China Grain Reserve were responsible for participating in the regulation and control of grain prices, and in ancient times, there were also standing positions.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the strong military strength of the Han Dynasty also needs excellent logistics support. However, due to the long distance of the border counties and the high cost of transporting grain from the central government, grain is stored locally in the border counties. The main purpose of the establishment of the standing position is to reduce its own expenses and losses, but it will also participate in the purchase and sale of grain.

Da Libian County has a permanent position, Pingzhou has it, and it is located in Liaoxi County, which is also the reason why the Thorn History Mansion is located in Liaoxi County.

However, due to various reasons, it was difficult to maintain the storage in the Changping on the northeast side, and the imperial court did not have a policy on supporting grain and grass from the central to the local Changping.

Pingzhou is even more because of the geographical location, the father does not love the mother, so the price of food will fly wildly.

When the personnel under the two sides were counting the medicinal materials, Lu Songli and Ji Wuyin Xue Xu were drinking tea.

"Mr. Ji, Houcheng is planning to expand, are you interested in opening a few shops in Houcheng? It's all good about business taxes and everything. The shops sell some southern goods, which should be very marketable. ”

"Sixth Lady Qin, what is the expansion method of Hou Cheng?"

"The current city will not be demolished, but will be used as an inner city, and then an outer city will be built." Lu Songli thinks that it is not bad to build Houcheng into a city within a city, "The outer city is divided into four functional areas, and the first to be built is the industrial park in the western suburbs, which will become the commercial core of Houcheng and even the entire Liaodong County." ”

Ji Wuyin said, "I need to think about this matter. "He'll wait until the deal is settled.

Lu Songli nodded, "Actually, I have another suggestion. ”

"What advice?"

"If Mr. Ji is not interested in the shops that we have built under the unified regulations, I can persuade my father and ask him to grant you a piece of land in the western suburbs for you to build a commercial building with a family or personal emblem. I sincerely suggest that Mr. Ji consider it, as long as such a building can show your strength. ”

Lu Songli tried his best to fool him and contribute to the construction of the industrial park in the western suburbs of Houcheng.

Ji Wuyin: ...... What a trick to borrow chickens to lay eggs! Spend his money and help her do the construction.

"Before that, Mr. Ji only had to pay a fee for commercial land to qualify."

Ji Wuyin's eyelids jumped, "Then I have to ask, after this commercial building with the elephant emblem of my Ji family is completed, does it belong to me?" ”

"The government will issue you a certificate of use for twenty years." Lu Songli said lightly, "If the twenty-year period expires, you have the right of first refusal to renew the contract." ”

Ji Wuyin was about to laugh at this shameless words, the land he bought with his silver, the commercial building built with his silver, and in the end he only had the right to use it for twenty years! Shameless enough.

But the heart is also really moving.

After all, it has now been decided to move the county guard to Houcheng, which is where the county seat of Liaodong County is located, and its popularity and commercial value have been greatly improved.

In addition, in the core area of Houcheng, there is a commercial building with the emblem of the Ji family, which is really long-faced.

Ji Wuyin is now worried, can he still take away the silver he sold for grain?

Xue Xu smiled secretly on the side, worthy of the lord he identified, it was really a goose plucking, and flies flew over and had to show one leg to dance before they could leave.
