"Current price?" Luo Xin said with a smile.

Lu Ding smiled awkwardly: "Sir, we donated 100,000 stones, but in fact it is not the current market price. It is much 20% lower than the current market price. Sir, we are not easy to do. If it were just five of us, it would be fine, but we would have to mobilize other companies, and the prices are lower... Alas... Let's say that, other companies may be higher than the market price. After all, the food prices are rising every day, and the food prices are now ten times that of normal times, but this is definitely not the end. Judging from the following years of experience, the price of this grain may increase to twenty times in less than a month."

Luo Xin smiled faintly and said, "Thank you all in advance."

"I dare not!" The five masters said quickly: "This is what we should do. Sir, it's not that we don't want to sell cheaper. In addition to the reasons mentioned just now, there is another important reason. The price of grain purchased this year will be much more expensive than in previous years."

Luo Xin said lightly: "Acquisition? You should be considered as a garrison, right?"

"This..." Lu Ding said embarrassedly: "We don't buy much, most of them are harvested from our own fields."

Luo Xin waved his hand, and he had already investigated it clearly. The price of those who were resident in the scattered goods this year was three times that of last year, and the market price is ten times that of last year. Even if the 100,000 stones of grain donated was equivalent to selling it to himself at a price of more than seven times. In addition to transportation, manpower and material resources, the five major families can also make three times more profit than last year.

It's really a businessman who is pursuing profit!

However, he did not blame the five major families. It was enough to be honest to only make three times more profitable. This is really due to Luo Xin's face. Otherwise, as they said, it would really increase to twenty times in one month.

No!

More than twenty times more.

"Old Lu!" Liu Shouyou is Lu Bing's subordinate, and Lu Ding is Lu Bing's brother. At this time, Liu Shouyou felt that he should speak, so he spoke:

"You don't know yet, right? The entire Ming Dynasty probably only has one month's food ration..."

Liu Shouyou explained the seriousness of the matter in detail to the five masters, and finally said:

"If this disaster cannot be avoided, let alone your five major families, I am afraid that the merchants and wealthy families in the entire Ming Dynasty will not even be able to save their lives and will be killed and snatched by bandits. At this time, don't think about making money, or making less money."

When Lu Ding and the other five heard this, their faces turned pale. Lu Ding looked at Luo Xin and asked tremblingly:

"Sir, is this true?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded slightly.

"this……"

The faces of the five people showed panic.

"Sir, you have to protect us!"

"Soldiers can only protect you after having enough food." Hu Zongxian said coldly.

"this……"

Lu Ding and the other two exchanged glances, and Lu Ding gritted his teeth and said, "How about we sell it to adults at eight times the price last year?"

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I know that the minimum price of your food you purchased at three times the price last year, plus manpower and material resources, is about less than four times the price. However, at least half of the 500,000 stones of grain you are going to take out were planted in your own fields, so the price will be reduced. In other words, if you sell the food to me at three times the price last year, you will make a little profit. Right?"

"This is..." Lu Ding nodded awkwardly. He knew that he could not hide it from Luo Xin. Luo Xin was so smart. After experiencing the battle of wits and courage with Luo Xin, he knew that nothing could be hidden from Luo Xin. He just smiled bitterly:

"It's just...it's basically a waste of time..."

"It's your luck to be busy. Let's do it for two days. It's dusk now, and the night after tomorrow, I will buy all the grain delivered to the official warehouse at three times the price last year. If I miss the time, I will not buy it. This is because of the relationship between us, otherwise I will not give you this opportunity."

"Sir, you..."

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "I asked you to come today not for this, but for all the carriages, donkey carriages and other means of transportation from your five major families. You must prepare it for me within two days."

"This is easy to say!" Lu Ding nodded and said, "It's just that the price of grain..."

"I'm willing to sell it or not." Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "I'm just giving you a chance. Okay, you can go back first. Lord Hu and I have some discussions."

"Then... sir, let's say goodbye."

In the room, only three people were Luo Xin, Hu Zongxian and Liu Shou. Hu Zongxian looked at Luo Xin and said:

"No, are you a little too tough? Eight times the price is perfect, and three times the price basically has no profit. Aren't you forcing them not to sell? Four million stones can solve many problems!"

"I have already got the food." Luo Xin smiled and said, "Today I came to me, I want my brother to transfer the elite soldiers, such as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, so that they can protect the food and transport it to various prefectures."

"Have you got the food?" Hu Zongxian suddenly stood up.

"Yes." Luo Xinhan nodded with a smile.

"How many?"

"Twenty million stones!"

"Twenty million stones?"

"This is only the first batch, and there will be some in the future."

"Are it just the first batch?"

"Um!"

Hu Zongxian's eyes turned red and he grabbed Luo Xin's shoulder.

"You didn't lie to me? Where did you get so much food?"

Liu Shouyou, who was standing beside him, was extremely excited, his face flushed. Both of them were military generals, and they knew what it meant if the world was in chaos. Now that he heard that Luo Xin had brought a lot of food and there was a follow-up, how could he not be excited?

"Sit down and say, sit down and say!" Luo Xin smiled and patted Hu Zongxian's hand holding his shoulder.

Hu Zongxian sat down, but his breathing was still heavy.

"I got in touch with the China Kingdom at sea and bought food from the China Kingdom."

"They have so much food?" Hu Zongxian asked suspiciously.

"We can't control this, as long as they have food to sell it to us. Before I left the capital, I contacted the Chinese envoy who lived in the capital. The envoy sent someone back to their country. I just brought back the news today that at dusk the day after tomorrow, 20 million elixir grains would be delivered to the port."

"real?"

"It must be true. Why have you ever seen me make such a joke?"

"The Ming Dynasty is saved!" Hu Zongxian cried with joy. He wiped his tears and said, "What price?"

Luo Xin calculated in his heart that the grain purchased from Lingnan was very cheap, only 50% of the price last year, but the cost of transportation from Lingnan was very high. Although it was shipping, it was a sea transportation, which was a little 15 times that of last year. Luo Xin did not want to make money in this regard, mainly used food to exchange some supplies, so he said:

"A little five times the previous years."
