Plane red envelope

Chapter 400

"I see, you go down!" The old housekeeper promised, and quickly dismissed the young man named Er Xiao.

After that, he interviewed many similar spies, and the answers given by these people were quite consistent. Fang Qiang didn't have much food left!Even the porridge in the porridge shop is getting thinner every day.

In the main hall of the Jin Mansion, the old butler was respectfully reporting to Jin Yumantang, "Master, our plan is successful, that kid Fang Qiang can't last long, and at the current speed, there are still three days at most. The food on the road will run out, and the entire Jinling City refugees will eat him alive! So he can only agree to our conditions!"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Jin Mantang's chubby face, but then it dimmed. He asked tentatively: "Do you think this Fang Qiang will use force against us? His hand There is an army of more than [-] people!"

"Absolutely not, master! The old slave has inquired about his every move in Chuzhou City. The biggest characteristic of this kid is the benevolence of a woman! We are only selling food, and we haven't violated the law? Why should he use a knife on them? Move the gun?"

"Okay then..." Jin Mantang took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision, he said, "From tomorrow onwards, we will do our best to purchase the grain in Jinling City, only getting in and out! Double the increase, and then he can only obediently negotiate terms with them!"

"Yes, master, this old servant will make arrangements now." The old butler promised and walked towards the door, but he stopped halfway, turned his head, and said to Jin Mantang hesitantly: "Master, We don't have enough working capital, if we try our best to buy it, I'm afraid we won't be able to bear it anymore!"

"Don't worry about this!" Jin Mantang waved his hand very domineeringly and said, "I have already contacted three other merchants, and we all pooled up 80 taels of gold, no matter what, the price of food can be doubled again." !"

"Master is really far-sighted, amazing, amazing..."

At the same time, Liu Bowen was also making a report in Fang Qiang's study in our government's mansion.

"Wu Guogong, I have found out that there are four largest merchants in Jinling City, namely Jin, Wang, Yang, and Zhao! They jointly control grain, cloth, ships, salt and other basic industries that are related to people's livelihood. So the sudden attack may have something to do with the Mongolian Yuan court, it is said that behind the Jin family is Chahan, the prime minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"

"So that's it!" Fang Qiang nodded clearly, and then said in an unquestionable tone: "This Jinling City is mine, and Chahan's claws seem to have stretched too far, and they are all cut off!"

Due to the rules of the plane, Fang Qiang cannot directly attack Chahan for the time being, but this matter will not be too far away. According to the historical process, as long as Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng are dealt with, it will be Chahan's turn!

In the early morning of the next day, the price of grain in Jinling City soared across the board, and many wealthy households sent their servants to buy grain like crazy. All this caused a chain reaction, so that the price of grain became even higher and higher!
When Fang Qiang was about to break through the bottom line, Fang Qiang made a move, and suddenly there were [-] more shops in Jinling City, and they opened up to sell grain, all of which were cheap!
After Jin Mantang got the news, he couldn't sit still. He had gathered a large amount of food in his hands. If these things couldn't be sold, they could only be thrown in his hands, which was far less real than money.The most important thing is that food is perishable, and Jin Mantang has mortgaged many of his properties in order to raise a large amount of funds. If he loses in this food war, he will have to go bankrupt!

"What's going on?" Jin Mantang yelled loudly at the old housekeeper: "Didn't it mean that Fang Cheng didn't have much food in his hand? How did this happen?"

"Master, this old slave has already found out that almost all the rice and wheat in the entire Yangtze River Basin are in our hands. Even if Fang Qiang has some, it will not be too much! But what he is selling now is not rice and wheat. Ah! It's corn! And something called a potato..."

"Corn? Potatoes? What is this? Is the yield high?" A big question mark was drawn in Jin Mantang's head.

"Master, this old slave has checked everything. Both corn and potatoes are very big, so the yield of these two crops will definitely not be very high! I guess Fang Qiang is just bluffing. In fact, he doesn't have too much. If we have more food, we just need to work harder, and we can completely defeat him!"

"Okay! Then I will fight again!"

The price of food in Jinling City is no longer a secret, so apart from Jinmantang, the other three merchants are also on pins and needles!The four held a meeting at Jin Mantang's home, and everyone agreed that Fang Qiang must be defeated!
Therefore, each family took out 10 taels of gold again, which was almost the only property they had left. If they could not win this food war, they would have to go bankrupt!
Whether it is corn or potatoes, Fang Qiang sells them very cheaply. However, the purchasing power of 40 taels of gold is very strong, so these two crops were quickly raised to a comparable price, and Fang Qiang also made a lot of money. !

Adding the previous 80 taels, Fang Qiang already has a full 120 million taels of gold in his hands!
Just when the four major merchants were celebrating, an earth-shattering news came, and everyone vomited three liters of blood.

The porridge houses in Jinling City no longer serve porridge, they have started to deliver food from door to door!Free!
It is said that this is a policy of benefiting the people of Wu Guogong. Every person who has registered household registration can be white-collar once grain!This is once, and the savings are enough for one person to eat for two months!

Jinling City has a total of 80 people, that is 80 Dan!In this way, you can imagine how much food Fang Qiang has in his hands, there is simply no way to finish it!
Not only that, Wu Guogong also provides a wide range of employment opportunities for everyone, and the wages are generous. As long as you work hard, each person will have a load of food per month...

At this time, the four major merchants understood that all of this was Fang Qiang's strategy, and they were the turtles in the urn...

After this food war, the merchants are really hurt, and they have no other way but to go bankrupt!
The reason is very simple, the food in Jinling City is already stink, even if the four major merchants sell the food at a low price, the common people will not buy it, because their reputation is already rotten!

At the same price, they would definitely go to Wu Guogong's grain store to buy, just because Fang Qiang's word of mouth is a golden signboard.

The four major merchants had no choice but to deal with the low price of grain!You know, they spent several times the price to buy these grains!What a loss!
