Chapter 243

The next day, earlier.

In the Castle Peak manor, the housekeepers of various forces are ready to go and rush to the grain sales offices of uneven buildings everywhere.

Different from the first test, this time, each of them placed a large number of grain orders. Whether the uneven building can take out these grains directly determines whether their grain sales strategy can operate stably.

In the villa, many family and chamber of Commerce speakers, led by Liu Hanshan, also got together early, drinking tea and chatting on the surface, but everyone's heart was not calm.

Not long

Trucks loaded with grain went up the mountain.

The first time the news came, the people present couldn't sit still. Qi Qi came to the small square at the entrance of the mountain. Seeing his own steward and rushed back with a large amount of food, they looked at each other, and their eyes were full of incredible.

"Actually sold it?"

"Will there be fraud? This is millions of kilograms of grain. They sell it at once. What else will they take to relieve the victims? "

"Check it immediately and be careful. Don't make any mistakes!"

“……”

Many owners and presidents who were present said a lot, and then came to their grain cart. As yesterday, they carefully checked the grain piled up like a hill.

Because the amount was too large, they checked for a long time, and finally checked every bag of grain. The result was surprising.

"Unexpectedly... There's no problem at all... It's not even heavy grain. The quality is very good..."

The refined middle-aged man muttered to himself.

"All of a sudden, he took out so much food. He still had food to relieve the victims. Did he have food to stabilize the price of food?"

The rugged man frowned and looked at the stewards who went down the mountain to the uneven building.

"Everything is normal."

The steward quickly opened his mouth and said, "my subordinates specially went to the good porridge shed. Both the good porridge for disaster relief and the two kilograms of grain sold to ordinary civilians are on sale normally."

"This is really strange..."

The strong man rubbed his bald head with an unimaginable expression on his face and said, "how much food have they prepared? 10 million jin or 20 million jin? There can't be more than that? "

"Although it is impossible according to common sense, but... The confidence they put forward is impossible without more than ten million kilograms of grain."

The elegant middle-aged man shook his head slowly, took a breath, looked at Liu Hanshan and said, "Master Liu, what should we do now? Continue? "

"Of course."

Liu Hanshan's expression was calm and said, "it's a good thing that they can take out grain to sell. The more they sell now, the more we will raise the grain price in the future, and the more we will earn. It's ten Liang silver for a kilogram of grain. If we sell it, it's twenty-five Liang, and the net profit is fifteen Liang. You should still count this business?"

"This is natural, if we can buy their grain out of stock... In my opinion, if we buy him a few million kilograms today, the granary of the uneven building should be at the bottom!"

Someone said, gritting his teeth.

When the voice fell, Liu Hanshan shook his head and said, "come by 10 million kilograms, touch the bottom first, see how much inventory he has in his uneven building, share it with each family, and see how much money each family has to take out."

When they heard the speech, they looked at each other.

Ten million catties of grain and ten liang of silver per catty are a total of ten thousand Liang. This terrible figure is a great burden for any family forces present.

However, if it was apportioned to more than a dozen, each would not seem so much. After a little consideration, they nodded one after another.

This ten million kilograms of grain can be said to be the last test they made.

If the uneven building is willing to sell, they must not have much grain. The people present would rather give them the ten thousand Liang silver in exchange for the next huge profit.

If the uneven buildings are not sold, it means that the grain stored in the uneven buildings is less than 10 million kilograms. According to their daily consumption these days, it is about 2 million kilograms of grain a day. The inventory less than 10 million kilograms can support them for another three or four days at most.

Therefore, all the people present accepted the temptation and expected in their hearts that the uneven building could not be taken out, because if so, they could make great plans and sell their grain at a very high price in four days at most.

Then

The administrators of families and chambers of Commerce went down the mountain one after another to the grain sales office of the uneven building and put forward this request.

Many big people are waiting on the Castle Peak manor. This time they don't even have the mood to drink tea and chat. Everyone looks at the mountain of grain trucks and thinks.

Finally

Each steward rushed back to the Castle Peak manor.

"How's it going? Did you promise? "

The crowd immediately asked.

The stewards looked at each other, then nodded one after another and said, "the uneven building has received the money, or will they come to collect the grain at this time tomorrow..."

"Shit!"

The rugged man immediately couldn't help scolding, frowned, rubbed his scalp angrily, and said, "how can there be ten million kilograms? Can they really take it out? "

The refined middle-aged man took a deep breath and said, "brother sun, be calm. Even if you can take it out, that's the most from the inside information of the Qi palace. After all, in these three or four days, the grain they sold, together with the grain for disaster relief, is about 10 million kilograms. Then they sell us 10 million kilograms, a total of 20 million kilograms of grain. At most, that's all. More is impossible. "

"Brother Tang is right. Don't worry, brother sun."

Several middle-aged family owners looked at each other, but they were also calm and said, "as soon as these grains are sold tomorrow, the grain stored in the uneven building will be at the bottom. Now I can see that the uneven building himself also wants to make money here. However, he cherishes his good reputation and doesn't want to take money from civilians, but from us merchants, Ah... Isn't that why you have to erect a memorial archway when you become a bitch? "

The voice fell, and everyone at the scene nodded and agreed with this statement.

No matter what the idea is, they have earned enough money in their hands.

The daily price of those grains is one or two silver and more than thirty kilograms, but now they have bought nearly 20 million kilograms at the price of ten Liang silver and one kilogram. The huge profits are numbing to think about.

But

Uneven buildings can make money, and they must make money next.

When the inequality building is closed, the victims can go to the government's good porridge shed to eat bitter porridge, and those civilians can only buy their high-priced food if they don't want to be reduced to the same level as the victims.

Moreover, how long can the government's good porridge shed last?

The grain supported by Jinxia city is only three or four million kilograms, and the 10 million kilograms of grain approved by the imperial court is still on the road. Even if it arrives, it will only be enough for the victims to eat for half a month. After half a month, the grain will be completely cut off.

At that time, the only people holding grain in Cangnan area were the people in Qingshan manor. They priced the grain at 25 Liang silver a kilo. They all thought it was too cheap.

After a friendly meal, sleep and scolding the uneven building, the day passed again, and the leaders of the forces on the Castle Peak manor almost stayed awake all night.

The next morning, watching the stewards pull their grain carts down the mountain, they stared at the direction of Cangnan huge city in the distance, and their hearts were suddenly speechless.

Although they knew that behind the uneven building was the prince Qi's house, and the prince Chengde endorsed it and would not default, they couldn't help but be nervous.

After all

That's ten million taels of silver. It's shared among more than ten families, and each family is nearly ten million taels.

Although this figure can be taken out by any company, if it is lost at once, it is enough to hurt people.

After the passage of difficult time bit by bit

Pile up like a mountain hand, as like as two peas of grain, and the creaking sound of the wheels, the crunch of the big army came back to the mountain road. This time, the management came back with a pile of grain, almost the same scene as yesterday, and again appeared in front of the crowd.

"I've really got it back... Ten million kilograms of grain!"

The crowd took a deep breath.

When the grain was unloaded, there was no superfluous words, and everyone immediately began to check it.

The workload of this inspection is undoubtedly very large, more than double that of yesterday, but perhaps it is because people's practice has made perfect, so it took almost half a day. They checked all the grain, bag by bag, carefully.

"Still... No problem at all."

The elegant middle-aged man took a deep breath, looked at his steward and said, "is the situation at the foot of the mountain still as usual? Has the uneven building made any announcements, such as reducing the supply of good porridge sheds, or halving the daily grain purchased by each person? "

"Home Lord, everything is normal."

The steward nodded quickly and said, "the good porridge shed still supplies an unlimited amount of good porridge. Anyone who is hungry can get porridge to drink. The grain sales office still has two kilograms of grain a day for ordinary people. The price and supply have not changed."

“……”

The voice fell, and there was a silence.

"They... And food."

The refined middle-aged man's voice was extremely deep and said, "they have spent nearly 20 million kilograms of grain. Can they take it out... Is this reality?"

People did not speak, but the answer in their hearts was yes, which is certainly unrealistic.

Even the forces like Prince Qi's residence can't have more grain than 20 million kilograms. After all, they don't support the army. Why do they want so much grain?

Moreover, through their inspection, the grain sold to them by the uneven building is not like the old grain accumulated in the barn for many years, but the new grain just knocked down this year.

20 million kilograms of new grain

Dreaming?

Where did you get it? What's this?

After a long silence, someone finally coughed and said: "... Do we still buy it?"

As soon as the question was answered, there was another silence.

In fact, with everyone's mind and courage, this question should not be asked, because now that they have been on the ship, there is no saying of jumping down.

In their hands, each family has accumulated millions of kilograms, or even tens of millions of kilograms of grain. After the grain price rises, they will sell it again and make a big profit.

Now, the uneven building is horizontal in front of them and maintains the food price. Their high-priced grain has no room to sell. If they don't buy out the grain stored in the uneven building, all their inputs and costs will be smashed in.

In this case, there is no possibility for them to shrink back. They must do their best to buy up all the food in the uneven buildings.

But

Can you really buy it empty?

Looking at the posture of the uneven building, it seems that they still have a lot of food. They can't see that they are a little tight.

"Buy, of course. It's still 10 million kilograms of grain. We should completely sell the surplus grain of the uneven building. Otherwise, where else can we find shelter in the Cangnan region?"

Liu Hanshan took a deep breath, his expression was no longer calm, and a light thread of blood appeared in his eyes. The whole man was like a lion in a fighting state.

"Yes, Master Liu is right!"

When these words were spoken, the people present nodded one after another, as if they had a backbone, and United once again.

Then they took out ten thousand liang of silver and asked the steward to take them down the mountain. They didn't go back to the villa at all. They waited in the square at the entrance to the mountain.

Not long

The steward came back empty handed. As soon as he saw the serious and anxious eyes of many big people, he quickly replied: "take it, the uneven building takes it again, or pick up the goods at that time tomorrow."

The voice fell, and the hearts of many big people present were sinking one after another. Today, they can promise to come down, which means that the grain stored in the uneven building has at least more than 10 million kilograms of grain

How much is it?

Plus those sold to them a few days ago, those distributed to victims free of charge, and those normally sold to civilians

This is more than 30 million jin!

More than 30 million!

It's enough for the whole Cangnan region to eat and drink for half a month!

Where on earth did the uneven building start to prepare so much food? Before Ming Dynasty, when collecting grain in the whole Daming mansion, uneven building didn't grab too much grain... There are several grain reserves in the whole Daming mansion, and there are even several that can be sold. Uneven building doesn't even have a source of grain. What can happen even if it has more money?

"No, is it our granary?"

Someone's face changed.

There is no doubt that the place with the most grain in Cangnan is their granary.

With their thinking, the biggest possibility they can think of is that their granary was stolen. The uneven building stole food from their granary, and then sold it to them at the price of ten liang of silver a kilo. The left hand turned over the right hand, and set the White Wolf here empty handed. No wonder they have to toss for a day

Liu Hanshan frowned. Although his reason told him that under the strict defense of the granary, it was impossible for someone to sneak in quietly and steal so much food, at the moment, this seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.

So, anxious and anxious, they rushed to their granary. As soon as they entered the door, they looked it up carefully from inside to outside.

No problem.

Not even a mouse, clean and pure.

After seeing that there was no problem with their own food, the tension of many homeowners and presidents eased a little.

But then he fell into a deep silence.

It is gratifying that their food was not stolen, but they also successfully missed the last answer that may be the correct answer, a brand-new question that makes people turn their heads and wonder, which once again jumped onto the paper.

I didn't steal it from them. Where did the uneven building get the food?

This is already a possibility closest to the real situation they can imagine, and now it has been proved wrong, which means one thing

That is, they can't imagine the means of collecting grain in the uneven building. They can't imagine how much grain there is in the uneven building to sell.
