Molested Zulong at the beginning

A trace of doubt appeared on the face of the middle-aged man: "It's really crazy. In the past, no one wanted this thing for a penny or a few catties. How could the price suddenly increase so much?"

"Even if the bran is ground with a stone, it can satisfy hunger after grinding, and poor refugees buy it one after another, but it won't rise so fast. Isn't the government already doing disaster relief?"

An old man with a gray beard next to him stroked his beard and tentatively said, "Did you say that the government has run out of food, and that's why they began to buy bran in the surrounding areas for disaster relief?"

The middle-aged man looked stunned for a moment, and said immediately: "It's very possible, although that Baisu traded a lot of bran from us with grain, but after all, it would take at least a month for the grain from Guanzhong to arrive in previous years." time."

"As for the refugees in Pei County and the surrounding area, there are hundreds of thousands of people. If you want to feed so many mouths, it is obviously not enough to rely on a little bran."

"That's why Bai Su was in a hurry, and started to buy bran in the surrounding areas in order to support him for a while."

The old man frowned and said: "Then what should we do? If we really let him last for a month, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to make huge profits from the high-priced hoarding of grain."

After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's okay, we can just grab him or not?"

"grab?"

Everyone looked over suspiciously.

The middle-aged man said meaningfully: "Didn't you pay five or six times the high price for Baisu? Then we will pay seven or eight times, ten times higher price to buy it."

"As long as we hoard the bran in the surrounding area and make the food shortage in the surrounding area, we, who monopolize all the food in the month when the food from Guanzhong arrives, can sell it at a price that is [-] times or [-] times higher. return."

"After all, people are about to starve to death. Food can save lives, and no matter how expensive things are, people still want them."

Hearing his words, the eyes of all the gentry and wealthy merchants around him lit up.

Things that can save lives can make a lot of money. If you invest now, you can earn back several times in the future. This method is simply wonderful.

"Okay, I'll pay you [-] guan to eat this batch of bran together."

"I'll offer [-]..."

"I offer one hundred thousand..."

All of a sudden, a trade war on grains began. Under the dumbfounded gaze of everyone, the price of livestock grains, which was originally despised by others, kept rising.

From the beginning of a penny and a few catties, it has soared to ten or twenty pennies per catty, and it is still rising.

Many people in Pei County rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating.

......

......

At the same time, in the Xiao residence.

"You love me, I love you, Bingtang Sydney is sweet..."

Bai Su was humming a brainwashing tune, and in the kitchen, he was leisurely boiling a pot of milk tea, and when he felt that the heat was almost ready, he nodded in satisfaction.

He took the milk tea and walked into the room.

At this time, Ji Liang was wearing a white obscene dress, sitting in front of the dressing table, combing his black hair with a comb, and coiling it into a virtuous woman's temple.

Through the reflection of the bronze mirror, she saw Bai Su came back, she couldn't help but smiled and turned her head to look: "My lord seems to be in a good mood, what happened?"

Bai Su walked over, put his arms around Ji Liang's slender waist, and leaned his head on her shoulder.

He closed his eyes, embroidered the faint fragrance from Ji Liang's hair, and said softly: "How can I be in a bad mood to be with such a beautiful woman day and night?"

At this moment, Ji Liang, like a flower that has been thirsty for a long time, has been carefully watered by sweet syrup and jade dew. His whole body looks bright and charming, his complexion is ruddy, and his skin is much more delicate.

Coupled with her gentle eyes like a newlywed looking at her husband returning home, she is simply too beautiful.

If it wasn't for Ji Liang's body being red and swollen, he couldn't bear the torture, he would have to deal with her in a down-to-earth manner.

"Son..."

There was a blush on Ji Liang's beautiful cheeks.

She bit her lower lip with white teeth, hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised her head, looking at Bai Su with watery eyes.

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, and then with a smile on his face, he slowly approached her lips.

Just when the distance between the two was less than a few inches.

"Ahem... That young master, please excuse me, I have something important to report."

At this time, a soft coughing sound came from the side.

Bai Su looked back and saw Xiao He and Liu Ji came in for some reason.

Xiao He coughed lightly with a reddish face, and slightly cast his eyes away.

With big peach blossom eyes, Liu Ji glanced curiously at Bai Su's gentle look just now, and couldn't help blinking: "So Master Bai has no resistance to beauty?"

While thinking in her heart, she lowered her head to look at her plump figure, her eyes lit up, as if she had some plan.

When Ji Liang saw an outsider coming in, his fair cheeks blushed, and he hid in the next room as if fleeing.

Bai Su looked at Ji Liang's leaving back, rubbed his nose involuntarily, and immediately asked, "What do you want to report?"

Xiao He cupped his hands and said, "That's it. According to your son's order, I have been buying bran on a large scale around Peixian County. Now I have stockpiled nearly 20 catties, and the price of bran has soared by nearly [-]% from the original price. It’s time to come, dare to ask my son, should we continue to accept it?”

Liu Ji also raised his hand, and said immediately, "My lord, my lord...in this bran, there is also my [-] jin. I called on my sisters to get it through various relationships."

A smile appeared on Bai Su's face: "Since you trust me so much, how can I let you suffer? Twenty times is already a lot."

"In this way...you sell the bran you have collected, and let those squires and profiteers take over. We bought it at five or six times the price, but now we sell it at twenty times the price, and we can make a lot of money. You The money earned from the [-] jin will belong to you."

Liu Ji couldn't help being stunned for a moment with his big peach eyes.

She immediately said excitedly, "Thank you so much, sir."

She originally thought it was just a handy favor, to tighten the relationship with Bai Su, so that she would have the opportunity to be promoted to a noble, but she didn't expect Bai Su to be so generous.

If I could hug this thigh, wouldn't my life be chic in the future.

Thinking of this, Liu Ji became more determined to please Bai Su so as to tighten the relationship with the superior.

And Xiao He, as a person who is good at managing politics, has noticed a lot of information.

She tentatively asked: "Young master, do you want to make a move now?"

Bai Su nodded: "This bran is not a hard currency in the first place. It was just a temporary hype that raised the price. Twenty times is almost the limit. If we continue to raise the price, the bran we hoard will probably It's pretty out of hand."

"Throwing out the bran now can just let the group of businessmen and gentry eat the bran and use up their last bit of money, and then they can directly announce the grain shipped from Guanzhong, and the price will be directly set at Five cents a catty, it's good to give them a big surprise."

Xiao He nodded upon hearing this, "Yes."

.......

......

Pei County, in the mansion.

All the gentry and wealthy merchants gathered together, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

"Hahaha……"

"Hurry up, hurry up, do you see it?"

"Yeah, you guys don't know that Bai Su sent someone secretly, thinking that he had concealed his whereabouts, and wanted to pay ten times the price to buy bran, but he didn't expect that I would pay fifteen times the price and cut off the beard directly. They didn't even get a grain of grain."

"You don't know, the expression of the clerk gnashing his teeth is simply too funny, hahaha."

The middle-aged man laughed triumphantly, feeling unprecedentedly happy.

Some time ago, Bai Su's exchanging food for chaff seemed good, but in fact, the calculated cooperation, relying on the food that was exchanged from them for disaster relief, directly delayed them for nearly ten days, and I don't know how much money they lost.

Now that they cut off Baisu's food, they felt so happy.

"Yeah yeah."

"Now that Baisu has nowhere to go, all the bran in the surrounding area has been eaten by us, and they can't even buy a single grain."

"The entire South County area is up to us to decide."

The middle-aged man said happily.

Although it hurts to spend so much money, he immediately felt relieved when he thought of earning more money.

After all, when you are about to starve to death, let alone twenty times, even if you sell a hundred times, those untouchables can only grit their teeth and buy it.

They discussed with each other one sentence at a time, how to make a fortune in the future and annex the land.

A man with the appearance of an official came in in a hurry, and said in a panic: "Old... the master is not good, the government has brought hundreds of thousands of catties of grain, and went to the disaster relief. The price of grain shops in various places is directly sold for five cents Money is a catty, and no one buys our eighty yuan a catty of grain."

bang...

The wine cup in the middle-aged man's hand fell heavily on the ground.

The people around also got up one after another.

Everyone was stunned, their faces were astonished, and they only felt dizzy for a while.

How...how is it possible! ! !

Isn't the government short of food, did you still compete with them for bran a few days ago?

Why did hundreds of thousands of catties of grain suddenly come out? What happened?

Chapter 130 Two

For an instant.

The country gentry and the owners of the rich merchants who gathered here froze in place one by one.

At this moment, they only feel that their brains are blank and their heads are buzzing.

Can't believe it's true.

"how can that be!"

"Obviously all the food in the surrounding area has been purchased by us, not to mention the corn eaten by people, and even the bran eaten by livestock, there is nothing left."

"The food stockpiled in Pei County's granary is almost exhausted, so how could Bai Su take out so much food and come out to help the disaster, you...you are lying!!!"

The middle-aged man had long since lost his calm, chatting and laughing appearance just now.

He stepped forward a few times, grabbed the official by the collar, the veins on his forehead twitched violently, spit from his mouth, and roared at the top of his voice.

Seeing his master's ferocious, ghost-like appearance, the official couldn't help being startled.

He suppressed his nervousness, and said with a wry smile: "Master, it's true, not long ago, the grain from Guanzhong arrived."

"Those people were pushing a strange cart, and they were pulling three to four hundred catties of grain by themselves. The heavy sacks were stacked one after another. At first, the villain couldn't believe it, so he followed."

"Before the little official transported the sack to the refugee's tent, he untied the sack and cooked porridge in front of everyone. It was indeed yellow and orange corn. This is what the villain saw with his own eyes, and there is no falsehood."

"Furthermore, I heard that this grain has been brought in long ago, but Bai Su kept holding it down, and now it is not only used for disaster relief, but also a large part of the grain is put in the market, and it only sells for five cents a catty. "

"The price is exactly the same as it was before the flood. Now many people have gone to buy their grain. Our [-] cents a catty of grain can't be sold at all, and it's completely in our hands."

The officials will tell what they have seen and heard.

hum! ! !

After hearing the news, all the country gentry and wealthy merchants felt a burst of blood rushing straight to the back of their heads, their whole bodies were buzzing, and their eyes were faintly darkened.

Some of their legs went limp and they slumped to the ground.

As if three souls and seven souls had been sucked away, with a dull expression on his face, he kept muttering: "It's over, it's over, everything is over."

The middle-aged man opened his mouth, wanting to comfort him, but he was completely speechless.

After all, they hoarded food at a price ten or twenty times higher than the market price.

In order to compete with Bai Su for the bran and sell the grain at a higher price, many of them mortgaged their property and borrowed money to monopolize the bran.

Just to let the refugees, the people in the surrounding areas have no choice but to come to buy their food, so that they can earn huge profits.

Even, a few buckets of rice can be exchanged for an acre of fertile land, and a large amount of land can be merged.

But unexpectedly, Bai Su had already prepared sufficient food, and now all five cents per catty were released. This was hanging them by the neck with a rope, and completely refusing to give them a way to survive.

Even if they sell at the same low price, the common people have to pick and choose, not necessarily buying them, not to mention that their price far exceeds the grain sold by the imperial court.

Now there are only two paths left for them.

Or sell it at a price lower than five cents, so that more people can buy their grain.

Although it is easier to sell this way, doing so is tantamount to cutting flesh and bloodletting, and the capital invested in the early stage is all in vain. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache and I can't breathe.

But if they don't sell it at a low price, the food they hoard can only watch as it rots in the barn day by day, and they lose all their money.
