Chapter 199 Hundreds of thousands and buying and selling food
"Don't be anxious, tell me in detail!"
Ye Qing was thirty thousand tragic about the rash come in.
The price increase in grain was expected by them, so Ye Qing was not surprised.
Everyone in the hall was not panicked, they had a plan.
Chen Wansan then told the recent changes one by one.
"Lord, this is an abnormal change, it is caused by man, it is a large amount of hoarding and purchasing, and it is aimed at our Xiaoyao Mansion and the business, after we announced that we were repairing the reservoir and the river bank..."
After Chen Wansan finished speaking, Ye Qing did not comment and turned to Li Ru.
Li Ru is in charge of the intelligence department.
The Jinyiwei, his subordinate, must have tracked this.
All forces are also the focus of the Jinyiwei.
I know who moved and what I did.
Li Rudao: "The first one to take action was the Hongnong Yang family. Although they did a very hidden job, there were still clues."
"Then are the major families, people from the Fufeng Palace, and people from the Hongnong Palace." Li Ru added:
"By the way, there is also the Wuguan side. Chu Yue State has banned the sale of grain to our Great Zhou Dynasty. I think it should be done by the new Chu King Ye Cai!"
"So, our opponents have taken action." Ye Qing smiled without further discussion.
Guo Jia said: "No, Wansan, aren't our grain purchased from Han COFCO Store? Han COFCO Store was transported from Hanzhong and various countries in Shu. The grain is very abundant. Yang Liu and other families can't buy Chang'an, but they can't do it. We have an agreement with the Prince's Mansion of Nanzheng County."
"Mr. Fengxiao, this is exactly what I want to say." Chen Wansan was from Han COFCO Store. He knew better about the situation and only heard him say:
"Now Han COFCO Shop has also stopped supplying grain to us. They said that because the price of grain has risen, all Han COFCO Shop in Chang'an have been sold out in recent days. One needs to be transported from Hanzhong. The war in Liangzhou has not stopped and the military supplies cannot be cut off. They have to give priority to Liangzhou, so there is no excess grain for us at the moment."
Looking at Chen Wansan's face with a difficult look, Li Ru explained again: "Lord, Zhang Lu, the prince of the Prince of Nanzheng, and Zhang Yanran, hurriedly set off to return to Hanzhong the day after we issued the notice, on the excuse that the end of the year was approaching, and went back to fulfill their filial piety and reunite with their family."
"Haha, it's really time to leave." Zhang Yi snorted coldly:
"I've long seen that Zhang Lu is not a good thing, and the Zhang family is not a good thing. Isn't this obviously a breaking of the contract? If Han COFCO Store doesn't give us food, we can't make things difficult for a few shopkeepers, and it's even more impossible to travel thousands of miles to Hanzhong!"
"You can find the King of Hedong, but I'm afraid that this low-key prince should be leaving behind a door to thank the guests at this time and no one will be seen." Shang Yang also sneered and mocked.
The more you don't bark, the more fierce the dog bites people.
This Hedong King, who is harmless and has never taken action, is a real threat.
The best disguise is to become someone close to you and become friends and relatives.
He dares to say that once he has the chance to kill Xiaoyao Mansion, the King of Hedong will definitely attack faster than anyone else.
The last time I dug up Zhang Yi and Yu Jin is a typical example.
"Lord, then how do we deal with it?" Chen Wansan asked, wiping and wiping:
"Can we continue to open up the Guandong trade route and use the forces of Luoyang Hou and Wucheng Hou to buy grain from Wei and South Korea?"
"No need! You have to go through Hongnong County to buy grain from Wei and South Korea, and the Yang family will still be intercepted by the Yang family. At this time, Hongnong County is still uncontrollable, so we will still place the main force in Guanzhong." Ye Qing thought for a while and said:
"Suspend all liquor production, especially the interruption of sales to Hanzhong and Liangzhou, so I can find it myself!"
"It's the lord, Wansan knows how to do it!" Chen Wansan replied. He would use any excuses to refuse Han COFCO shop.
Anyway, everyone knows it!
Ye Qing then asked Zhang Yi: "How much food reserves do we have?"
"According to the principle of grain priority of lords, since he joined the Nanzheng County Prince's Mansion, he has been stocking up a large amount of high-quality and low-priced grains, especially during the autumn harvest period, we quietly bought a large number of grain merchants.
At this time, the granaries in the mansion were full. Outside the mansion, we stocked up a large amount of grain in the civil affairs office and other houses, which was enough to cope with tens of thousands of people until the beginning of spring next year.”
Ye Qing nodded. Grain is the basis, which is the basic strategy he set, so he has been buying grain in a basic need.
In order not to get stuck in your neck.
So Xiaoyao Mansion has never had any spare money, and he used it because he had some money.
It came in handy now.
But this number is still insufficient.
How long does the reservoir really take to be repaired is uncertainty.
So Ye Qing asked Shang Yang again: "How many people have signed up!"
"When I go back to the lord, there are 80,000 people who have signed up. This is still in Chang'an City. The counties around Guanzhong have not yet been counted back. I believe there are at least tens of thousands.
There will be a total of more than 100,000 people!" Shang Yang blurted out, these numbers were already imprinted in his mind.
Hundreds of thousands!
Silk!
Everyone took a breath of air conditioning.
Although I had expected that there would be many people, the amount of 100,000 is still too large.
The imperial court did not recruit so many civilians to join the army to fight!
If one hundred thousand people are not well controlled, it is a big disaster.
Not to mention letting them work, management is a big deal.
Hundreds of thousands of strong laborers.
If someone fanned the flames, it would be easy to get a big deal.
And at the foot of the imperial city, what will the emperor's high emperor react when he sees it?
Everyone stopped talking and looked at Ye Qing.
It’s not that they don’t have an idea, but that Ye Qing needs to set a tone.
Ye Qing glanced at everyone, thought for a while before saying:
"I still have more than 30,000 taels of silver here. Chen Wansan, you can buy food and buy it in Chang'an City. No matter how high the other party wants, you agree and deliver a small deposit!"
"It's the lord!"
Thirty thousand taels are a lot, and you can buy a lot of them normally.
If you just deliver the deposit, you can purchase more amount of grain, and this matter can still be done.
Then Ye Qing said to Zhang Yi: "You divide the grain outside Xiaoyao Mansion into four or two, find four small merchants, sell two of them directly to Chen Wansan's business, and sell two of them to other grain merchants and grain shops in Chang'an except Han COFCO Store. Shen Wansan will buy these two grains back."
"..." Everyone!
What is this operation? It takes a lot of effort to do it.
The grain struggles have also made the grain merchants and grain shops in Chang'an City make a profit of the difference in price.
Isn’t this a loser?
"Master, what's next?" Guo Jia was flexible and seemed to think of something, but he was not sure, so he asked again.
Things are not that simple, how could my lord do a loss-making business?
"Then it was to raise prices so that he could go up as much as he could. Chen Wansan continued to deposit, and the amount of grain he wanted would double and increase it to me. In short, it gave the outside world a feeling that we would eat as much grain as we could, so we would be half successful." Ye Qing smiled and said:
Chapter completed!
