After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Thinking of this, the grain seller softened his tone and said: "Oh, I kindly advise you, how can you look at me like this? You can go and find out for yourself whether what I said is true."

As he spoke, he did not give the other party time to think about it, and continued: "Otherwise, I have sales channels in Yizhou, and you have food. We can cooperate and make money together. "

"Hmph, for someone as smart as you." The leader snorted, "I'm not lucky enough to cooperate with you."

Seeing that he wouldn't eat anything soft or hard, the grain seller became anxious and resorted to his last resort: "You see, what I just said is not completely deceiving you. How about I pay fifty cents per pound?" Buy all the rice you have.

Not only does this save you the time and risk of traveling, but you can also earn a lot of money. If you think about it carefully, is it a good deal? "

"A good deal? You old fox, your abacus is about to hit me in the face!" The leading brother was not stupid. He pointed at his ten carts full of rice and said, "This place is only a day or two away from Yizhou at most. If I only need to walk for another day or two, I can sell the rice for two taels of silver per catty.

You ask me to sell it to you here for fifty cents per catty, so go ahead and dream! "

The grain seller's expression changed again and again, but finally he suppressed his temper and said kindly: "Don't be so angry.

If you think about it the other way around, it's true that this place is only a day or two away from Yizhou, but if I walk a little further, I can buy goods at a lower price.

I just want convenience and want to ship the goods back directly after purchasing them from you.

Otherwise, how much would you say is appropriate per pound? "

The leader held out a finger, waved it in front of the grain seller, and said, "My request is not high, just one tael of silver per catty. If you agree, I will sell you all these carts of rice."

In other places, rice is only about three to five cents a pound, but now the leader asks for one or two cents, which can be said to be a big deal.

The grain dealer tried to bargain with him, but the other party was very determined. Either he would buy it for one tael of silver per catty, or he would take the rice and go to Yizhou to sell it himself.

In the end, the grain dealer had no choice but to relent, agreed to the high price offered by his eldest brother, and bought several carts of rice.

"You are lucky today. You met me and bought all the rice." The grain seller patted the rice bag and couldn't help but muttered another sentence.

After the leader counted the payment, he said, not to be outdone, "Hey! I just find it troublesome and don't want to make this trip again. You can make a lot of money by changing hands if you turn around. You should thank me." "

The two people who complained to each other showed happy smiles after parting.

The grain dealer looked at the ten carts full of rice and went to the local gentry to claim credit, while the big brother with the rice team took off the beard sticking to his face under the shade of the tree, revealing a long Qingjun's face.

It turned out that he was one of the personnel transferred from the capital by Shen Ruoyan.

Shen Ruoyan's conversation with Mr. Zhao at Zhao's house was deliberately leaked to the servant in order to make the local gentry think that she was going to lower prices in Yizhou by introducing cheap goods from elsewhere.

As expected, as Shen Ruoyan expected, after learning the news, the local gentry sent people to guard at various passes and intercepted every team that wanted to enter Yizhou to do business. After a lot of coercion and inducement, finally Bought all the goods at a price much higher than the market price.

After doing this for a while, even the wealthy local gentry seemed to be unable to sit still.

In a simple ancestral hall, several men sat around a wooden coffee table.

If you look closely, you will see that this coffee table is actually a large tree stump with its branches cut off. It takes seven or eight people to hug it to encircle it.You can imagine how spectacular this tree would have been if it had not been sawed off. However, at this moment, it can only be reduced to a coffee table for people to drink tea.

Of course, only people with great wealth would want to enjoy such luxurious things.

These people are the masterminds behind pushing up prices in Yizhou, local gentry who have been entrenched in Yizhou for many years.

Since Lu Yan took office, they had received orders from the Taifu, joined forces, and tried every means to cause trouble for Lu Yan.

The person sitting on the left took a sip of tea and said first: "Hey, three more teams came from the border yesterday. I have sent people to intercept them all, but this time I spent a lot of money."

Another person chimed in: "Yes, at this rate of spending money, even if our wealth is low, it will be emptied sooner or later."

"In my opinion, why not hire a group of skilled robbers to pretend to be robbers to rob those who want to do business with us? In this way, the robbed things can be put into the warehouse and waited for a period of time, and then they can be taken out openly. Go out and sell it, there is no cost at all, just make money!”

Sitting in the middle, the oldest person slapped the table and said, "A dog has eaten your brain! If you really hire someone else to rob, wouldn't that be the same as handing a knife to Lu Yan? Once he gets hold of us, then With this excuse, we are given a one-stop service, including confiscation of homes, beheading, and exile. So what should we do?

Don’t forget about Xue Dafu! "

Several local gentry who were in high spirits just now suddenly fell down when they heard this.

After a while, one of them asked the person sitting in the middle: "Brother, what do you think we should do?"

The man known as Big Brother thought for a moment and said: "These days we are deliberately controlling the supply. As far as I know, the people have already complained deeply about this.

We just need to send some people to fan the flames everywhere, and say that it is only because of the guideline prices issued by the government that their lives have become more difficult. If this continues, they will only die.

Once the people get into trouble, I don't think Lu Yan can hold out for a few days.

He will definitely repeal that law in order to quell public dissatisfaction. At that time, we can open the warehouse and sell it for as much money as we want, earning back all the losses we have incurred in the past few days! "

After hearing this, the other people applauded: "Big brother still has the foresight!"

"We follow the lead of our big brother!"

"Follow big brother and you will always have meat to eat!"

"Okay, then let's keep trying! After a while, we can make a lot of money!"

There was a lot of excitement in the ancestral hall, but within a few days, the faces of this group of people completely fell.

I thought this was the darkest moment before dawn. As long as I survived this period, I could see the light.

However, if you wait, you will be in big trouble.
