The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 80

"Hey, by the way, I remember you were beaten some time ago. You seem to have said that the elder brother of the person who beat you was also a grain merchant." Changsun Ji asked suddenly as if he had thought of something.

"Yes, my lord. He is still a mid-level grain merchant in the capital."

Changsun Ji nodded, as if the question just now was just a casual one.

At this time, Changsun Ji said again: "Zichan, I have an idea, you can see if it works. Now our grain shop has a certain share every day, and other grain shops will definitely have their own shares. You will start tomorrow , you can sell the shares, if you can’t buy food today, you can buy tomorrow, but you have to pay a deposit. You can set up a bill for them.”

"Take today's bill and buy grain the next day. The price of grain can be based on yesterday's price. Now that the price of grain in the capital is increasing every day, many people will definitely come to buy this bill."

Shen Qiuyi was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Changsun Ji did this, then his eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands at Changsun Ji and said:

"My lord is really a genius. Although this method seems to lose some money on the surface, it actually brings back most of the people. Let them all come to our grain store. It is really a good way."

This method is actually very easy to understand. People rush to buy grain in various grain shops every day, and many times they will not be able to get it.If you can't grab it, it means that you will spend more money to buy the same grain the next day. Now that you have this bill for buying grain, the price of buying grain is based on yesterday's price. Buy.

In this catastrophic year, no one would dislike the abundance of food in their hands.No matter how much gold and silver you have on your body, it can't stop you from being hungry.So they are eager to exchange the money in their hands for food.

Regardless of whether they can buy food or not, as long as they have money left, they will buy some food receipts.When they have the bills in their hands, they will go directly to Yihonglou to buy grain the next day instead of going to other grain stores.

However, Changsun Ji gave Shen Qiuyi a meaningful look, and then said: "Okay, if there is nothing else, you can go down first!"

Shen Qiuyi nodded, bowed to Changsun Ji, and slowly exited the room.

After gently closing the door, Shen Qiuyi turned around.At this time, the weather was already slightly cool, and the autumn wind was blowing over his face, but a flash of light flashed in his mind.

Although he was in the room before, he was full of admiration for Changsun Ji's thoughts.In fact, he doesn't think this idea is feasible in his heart. It's not that he thinks this idea is bad, but he feels that the timing of this idea is not right.

Now is the year of catastrophe, and food is the best-selling item, so there is no need to worry about selling it.Why bother to sell tomorrow's quota.Sell ​​today's grain at yesterday's price.Isn't this in conflict with the previous increase in food prices?
But today was the first time Changsun Ji made a suggestion, so how could he directly deny it regardless of Changsun Ji's face.That's why I agree and praise it.

However, now that he was blown by the wind, he reacted instead.Although doing so cannot maximize food income, it can indeed get gold and silver to the greatest extent in a very short period of time.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiuyi couldn't help but think about it again: "Is it possible that the lord has received some news? Could it be that the court is going to start releasing food. You can't tell me clearly, my lord, remind me like this?"

Shen Qiuyi frowned, feeling like she had forgotten something.With a face full of doubts, he slowly walked towards the gate of Pengyuan. After walking a few steps, Shen Qiuyi patted his head with his hand, with a happy face.

Then he turned his head and looked at Changsun Ji's study room, with admiration in his eyes, but more gratitude.

The next day, East Street, in front of the former Yichun Courtyard's attic door.

This place was originally a land of wind and flowers, but it was just a venereal disease that appeared later.It gradually became empty. Although it later became a grain store, no one came to it at first.

Because no one knows whether eating the grain from this grain store will cause sexually transmitted diseases.However, who made this year catch up with the year of great hunger, when the people who have wandered around for a day without buying food suddenly realized that they would not necessarily get sick if they bought the food from this grain store, and they would not necessarily die if they got sick , but without food will surely die.

There is the first person to try to eat crabs, and the first person to eat crabs has not been poisoned to death.It was only after the people realized that they flocked here.After all, the price of this grain store is much cheaper than other grain stores.So the food in this store is always sold out first.

So there will be a scene every day. The grain stores in the capital are not open in the morning when the price is expensive, and they only open in the afternoon, because as long as the grain stores that sell low-priced grain in the capital are not closed in the morning, no one will come to buy high-priced grain.

Only those who did not grab low-priced grain in the morning came to buy high-priced grain.

So some good people who buy food in the capital made up: "Low is not closed, high is not open."

Although today the entrance of the grain store with the plaque of Yichunyuan is still blocked by people who buy grain, what is different from the past is that the people in front today did not buy grain, but quarreled loudly.

It turns out that the price of grain in this grain store has directly increased to 35 times, which is five times higher than that of the grain store with the highest grain price in Beijing yesterday.This caused dissatisfaction among the people selling grain.

As a result, the person in charge came out and just said: "Buy if you like to buy, and leave if you don't buy. The most indispensable thing these days is people who buy food."

As a result, there was no sound below, and the one who has food now is the uncle.

Many people who bought food were divided into two teams, one team bought food with money and curses, but there were very few people in this team.The other team went to other low-price grain stores to buy grain.

Naturally, this is not the only conscientious shop selling low-priced grain in the entire capital, but compared to the shops selling grain in the entire capital, such conscientious shops are pitifully few.

However, the people who bought grain at this Yichunyuan grain store discovered that this grain store also launched a certificate that can directly make an appointment for tomorrow's grain.It is a kind of compensation for raising food prices.

You must know that at this time of food shortage, all major grain stores have set purchase restrictions, and each person can only buy two people's daily rations, so at this time, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food.

And like this kind of certificate that can buy tomorrow's grain, and tomorrow's grain, it is very cost-effective to buy at today's price.It was a pleasant surprise.

Naturally, the purchase certificates sold cannot be sold at will, which is linked to the share of grain sold tomorrow.Grain purchase vouchers are selling very quickly, but today's grain supply has not seen much decline.

At noon, Shen Qiuyi smiled wryly looking at the sold-out grain purchase vouchers and half-sold grain.There is no way but to wait for the low-priced grain in the capital to be sold out, and then sell the grain together with those high-priced grain stores.
