Great Wei Nengchen

"It's really five thousand yuan a bucket of rice, and it's still a good new grain. If you don't believe me, take a look!"

Seeing that no one believed him, the strong man opened the sack and took out some corn from it. The color is golden, the grains are full, and there is no impurity at all. It also exudes a unique fragrance of new grains!

The strong man took out another certificate and showed it to the big guys. It was clearly written in black and white: "A ancestral red gold incense burner, exquisite workmanship and a long history. It is equivalent to [-] copper coins. In exchange for two buckets of corn, I will be rich in the future." , can be redeemed at the original price! '

"It's really five thousand dollars a bucket. I'm not dreaming, is it true that God has really opened his eyes?"

"Exchange things for money, the price is fair, and you can redeem them in the future. This is a conscientious businessman!"

....................................

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, after confirming that he is not dreaming, the common people scrambled to be the first to go straight to Beifang, running faster than rabbits, with cheap and good food, who would buy high-priced bad food!

Besides, this is the first day of the grain store's opening, so it's so cheap. If you don't buy it now, the price may increase tomorrow. How can you miss this great opportunity?

Of course, there were also some people who didn’t leave. They just bought food, and they regretted it in their hearts. They grabbed the clerks of Zhenji Rice Store and forced them to refund the money. They scuffled each other and made a lot of noise!

"Don't run away, come back to me...Damn it, you dare to compete with the Zhen family for business, I'm so impatient!"

Seeing the crowd rushing away, Zhen Guiqi was furious. If the food could not be sold, her house, car, sister... would all be ruined. Is it tolerable, what is unbearable?

The Zhen family is known as the 'No. [-] chaebol in the world'. Its business is spread all over the world, and it has never met an opponent. How can it show weakness today? Eat bear heart leopard gall?

Dongfang and Beifang are not far from each other. One deals in grain and silk, and the other sells livestock and spirits. The two sides do not interfere with the water of the river. They have always lived in peace. The largest merchant in Beifang is Jixian-Liang Family-No. [-] in the world. Second chaebol!

"A bucket of corn only costs [-] yuan, the price is fair!"

"Customers who are inconvenient can use items to offset the price, and redeem them at the original price in the future!"

....................................

Inside Beifang, there are a row of more than a dozen newly opened rice shops, with colorful lights hanging high, red felt on the floor, the facade is quite grand, and the guys are also very enthusiastic, greeting customers and doing fair transactions. Much more!

There are also a complete range of grains, such as corn, round-grained rice, small beans, wheat, yellow millet, broomcorn...the grains are full and dried well. Among them, the cheapest sorghum rice is only [-] yuan a bucket, which is very popular among the people. Although the taste is not good, it is very hungry after eating!

Zhen Gui and the others came to Beifang, intending to smash the opponent's grain store, but they raised the stick high and then slowly lowered it, because they were surprised to find that there was a " Jin Yuanbao' imprint, this is the symbol of Jixian-Liang family, everyone in the business world knows it, everyone knows it!

The Liang family used Youzhou as their old nest, and bought war horses, cattle, sheep, and camels from the grassland...then sold them to the Han family's interior, thereby making huge profits. Taking countless money, the Liang family is no longer inferior to the Zhen family in terms of financial resources only!

No matter how arrogant Zhen Gui is, he didn't dare touch the business of the second chaebol, so he went back in a hurry, and reported the matter to his master, while secretly looking forward to it. Black heart, how could they be an exception?

Zhen Gui's guess was correct. On the second day of opening, Liang's Grain Store really adjusted the price, but unfortunately it was not upward, but downward. A bucket of corn was [-] renminbi, and sorghum only [-] renminbi!

After hearing the news, the people of Yecheng flocked to the city. The line was more than ten miles long, frantically buying grain. A good reputation!

On the third day, the Liang family revealed the good news again, a bucket of corn for [-] yuan, buy three buckets and get two liters for free... When the news came out, the people cheered thunderously. people!

On the fourth day, Liang's Grain Store said, "A bucket of rice costs a thousand dollars, buy a bucket and get two liters free." At the same time, a large number of convoys entered Yecheng. The sacks were occasionally scattered on the ground, and the soldiers didn't bother to clean them, they just kept transporting them into the warehouse!

On the fifth day, the Liang family made another move. They donated [-] dendrobium of corn, as well as a large amount of bean cakes and grass fodder to Cao Jun for the army to fight. Prime Minister Cao Cao was very happy and hosted a banquet for him. In order to 'donate millet to the marquis', the descendants will inherit heredity and write a plaque: 'the world's number one righteous businessman! '

After the news came out, the people beat gongs and drums, and it was even more lively than the Chinese New Year. However, there were fewer and fewer people buying food. Occasionally, a few people went to buy rations for a few days. A national character - buy expensive and not cheap!

In the past, there was a shortage of food, and the price was soaring all the way. The people were worried about starvation, so they desperately bought food, and even went bankrupt. Half of them were hungry, and the other half were scared!

In addition, there are some treacherous people who took the opportunity to hoard food and drive up the price, wanting to make a fortune by taking the opportunity, and also participated in the wave of panic buying, which caused the situation that the more expensive the more the more they bought!

It’s different now. Liang’s sells grain at a low price, and the price keeps going down. This gives people a feeling that the price of grain will get lower and lower. Just three to five days of rations!

The grain transportation team that enters the city every day also reassures the people. Someone privately estimated that the grain shipped recently was at least 80 million hu, enough to feed the people of Yecheng for a year. It seems that the food shortage has really passed. !

There is food in hand, no panic in the heart, the situation in Yecheng has stabilized, and the people are full of joy, and they are also grateful to the prime minister and Da Sima.

In the affairs of the world, some people are happy and some are sad. Those profiteers are in trouble. They pawn their property, raise money, and hoard a large amount of food just to make a fortune. Now that the price of food has plummeted, they want to cry without tears!

Some timid guys are worried about losing all their money, or being chased for debts every day, so they have to sell their grain at a low price, which is better than rotten in the warehouse, but the more they sell, the lower the grain price, and the more they sell, the lower the grain price will be. More and more!

There are many people who went bankrupt and had nothing to return, so they had to hang themselves and jump into the river to die. In just a few days, hundreds of corpses were fished out of the moat, all of them were former shopkeepers and shareholders of the grain store!

..........................................................................................

"Boss is both civil and military, and he has no plans to leave behind. He is invincible in war, and he is even more powerful in business. If he hadn't been a soldier back then, he would have been the number one chaebol in the world long ago!"

"Hehe, a small trick is worthless. It is all thanks to the great help of my virtuous brother that things are going so smoothly. In the future, the procurement and transportation of military rations will require a lot of effort from Mrs. Liang!"

....................................

In the back of the mansion, Xiao Yi and Liang Xiaoyu sat opposite each other, drinking and chatting happily, celebrating their victory. Shopping malls, like battlefields, are places where good men gallop!

When the disaster was severe and the price of food soared, some people made a conclusion that there was no food of 100 million hu, and the problem could not be solved fundamentally. Once a large-scale civil unrest broke out, Cao Jun would either kill or withdraw from Yecheng, nothing else There is a way!

The food that Xiao Yi can mobilize is only a mere [-] Dendrobium, a typical 'a drop in the bucket', not to mention relief for the victims, even supplying the army is not enough!

However, as long as the means are superb, everything is possible. Xiao Yi's [-] hu of grain was not frugal, and he sold it all at once, and with the momentum of Mount Tai, the price of grain was lowered in one fell swoop!

To tell the truth, Xiao Yi was also terrified when Liang's grain store was sold out on the fourth day. If the people continue to rush to buy, the grain storage will be bottomed out. A layer of grain, which is full of soil!

The soldiers deliberately scattered a few bags, just to reassure the common people, thinking that there was enough food. Fortunately, this scam was successful. Now the food price is stable, people are at peace, and the disaster is gradually easing!

But, this is just a superficial phenomenon. Once the grain in stock is exhausted, a new "rice tide" will break out, and it will be even more serious. The common people think they have been fooled, and they will be full of resentment towards Cao Jun!

The most urgent task is to obtain more food from the elites of the gentry, so as to fundamentally solve the famine problem. In other words, the contest between the two sides has just begun!

Chapter 1062 The gentry counterattacks, a three-pronged approach!

In the middle of the night - the Zhen family - the meeting hall, brightly lit, as bright as day, hundreds of family dead soldiers, wearing armor and holding sharp knives, guarding all directions, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching, even on the roof of the lobby, there are people secretly guarding, And in the chamber, an important meeting of life and death is in progress!

Sitting at the main seat in the lobby was a 30-year-old scholar in white shirt, with good features, elegant temperament, and a bookish face. His uncle, Zhen An, is the number one chaebol in the world!

The head of the family, Zhen An, is old and indifferent to fame and fortune. He has lived in seclusion in a small courtyard for the past few years, and has no more to do with world affairs. He himself has no heirs in his life, so he focuses on nurturing his nephew, Zhen Yu, and presides over all family affairs!

This eldest son Zhen - gentle, well-educated, a very kind and good person, but also a useless person, so in the Internet, has always been the 'fifth son'-Zhen Mi shows up in public and controls the operation of the business empire!

However, after Zhen Mi got married, she has been living in the Marquis of Wuchou's Mansion, staying at home, taking care of her husband and teaching her children, and her control over Yecheng has gradually declined. The family speculated and drove up food prices!

"Liang's people are not kind, they donate food and grass, and sell food at a low price. Let them go on like this, we're afraid we'll lose all our money. Please think of a countermeasure, Eldest Young Master!"

"The Yuan family has fallen, and the Zhen family is big. How can we let outsiders bully our powerful family in Jizhou? We must use thunderous tactics to show them some color!"

There are more than 20 people sitting on the right side of the lobby, all of them are powerful and wealthy businessmen in Jizhou... They are all rich and powerful, and they are also the masterminds behind this 'Rice Tide'!

They originally planned to hoard food, drive up prices, and make a huge fortune for the country, and then annex land, raise slaves, and expand the power of Jizhou gentry!

Then use this as a bargaining chip to gain more political benefits. At that time, they will take advantage of the opportunity to enter the imperial court, collude with the Central Plains gentry, and control the imperial court's military and political power!

This is: Military Northern Expedition, Political Southern Expedition, the Son of Heaven is just a signboard, it’s good to worship it high, and it’s the gentry clan group that is really in charge of the country!

No one thought that just when the victory was in sight, the Jixian-Liang family suddenly made a move to stabilize the food price in one fell swoop, which made them very angry and very scared!
