At the beginning, he will be divided by five horses of Tang Taizong

Did father know about that?

"What else can it be, it is naturally a matter of the Princess Mansion."

Princess Mansion?

Fang Yizhi's complexion couldn't help but change again, his heart suddenly raised his throat and said: "Father, in fact, Yi loves him..."

"Actually, what? You don't have to be jealous, it's a good thing for your lost love to have a future. You can go..." Fang Xuanling interrupted directly.

Fang Yi raised his head in a daze, and was confused again.

Ok?

Are they talking about the same thing?

Chapter 42: The Monk Visits

When Fang Yizhi found Fang Yiai, he was in the grain store.

"Yi love, father wants you to go home."

"Why are you looking for me?" Fang Yiai said straightforwardly.

In fact, he is indifferent to seeing his father. Since he was a child, he has never received any compliments from his father. When he was 13 years old, he won the first prize in the hunting competition, and his father just glanced at him.

"You are here... People are talking behind their backs that the Benxin Grain Store is the business of the Princess Mansion, so it seems true?"

Fang Yiai nodded.

"I heard that the Benxin Grain Store has hundreds of thousands of grains in stock, isn't it just a rumor? Are these... all written by that person?" Fang Yizhi asked with wide-eyed surprise.

Fang Yiai didn't say anything more, but changed the subject and said, "What is father looking for me for?"

"It's just something related to the Princess Mansion. I don't know the details?"

Fang Yiai couldn't help shaking her hands when she heard the words.

"You talked to your father?"

"Never!"

But Fang Yiai's thoughts were suddenly confused.

"Oh, nephew, so you are here, let me have a good meal to find you."

But at this time, Changsun Chong Wuji walked over from a distance.

"My lord, grandson!" Seeing this, Fang Yizhi hastily saluted.

But seeing that it was the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Yiai turned around and left, "Let's go home..."

Changsun Wuji's expression suddenly became embarrassing, "Nephew......"

"That... Yiai is ignorant, my eldest grandson, please forgive me."

"It's okay, let's talk about it next time, let's talk about it next time."

Changsun Wuji looked at Fang Yiai's back as he walked like the wind, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Hey, it seems that we need to give him a little more time, everything needs a process."

"Chong'er doesn't know if he has visited Qin Shou recently, and he doesn't know how much he has learned."

"It's a useless thing, and it knows to run to Pingkangli Lane every day."

......

The five surnames and Qiwang and other aristocratic families are indeed the most educated group of people in the Tang Dynasty, and they see things in the long term much more than ordinary people.

To say that they really didn't pay attention to the "Benxin" grain store before, after all, it was just a store.

But after Benxin Grain Store has amazed the entire Chang'an City several times in a row, they have to pay attention to the move against the trend, especially the move to turn back to the grain, not to mention the Li Tang royal family standing behind the "Benxin" Grain and Oil Store.

The Li Tang royal family's business continued to grow bigger and stronger, which they absolutely did not allow.

Therefore, people from several major families had approached these grain stores in Chang'an City before, wanting to unite. Now, with the active surrender of grain merchants and rich merchants, all the grain stores in Chang'an City reached an alliance in an instant.

They all pointed their finger at the "Benxin" grain store, and there were special people who squatted outside the "Benxin" grain store. Whenever the price of the "Benxin" grain store changed, they would go back and report it quickly, and then made a decision. reaction.

Originally, the price of grain in the "Benxin" grain store was [-]% lower than that of other merchants in Chang'an.

But after the adjustment, their price is even lower than the price of the "Benxin" grain store. No matter how the price of the "Benxin" grain store changes, they will set the price 1 yuan per bucket lower than the price of the "Benxin" grain store.

The purpose is to crush the "Benxin" grain store.

Since we want to unite together to strangle the "Original Heart" grain store, we must work hard, otherwise we will not die, but will become a disaster.

It's okay to start two days first.

However, in just a few days, the gentry of the five surnames and Qiwang found that something was wrong. They found that the situation was not as simple as they imagined, and even said that the situation exceeded their imagination.

Because they found that the "Benxin" grain store not only did not close down, but the business was better than before.

......

The reason is that after Qin Shou discovered this situation, he adjusted the price of the "Benxin" grain store.

The pricing strategy is changed from demand-oriented to cost-oriented. In fact, it is to turn the high price pushed up by the market into a low price that can protect capital.

It adopts the strategy of small profits but quick turnover, while maintaining its meager profits and being able to maintain the operation of the grain store.

You fight the price with me, and I fight the cost with you.

I originally bought back a large amount of low-priced grain during the low-price period. Now that the grain price has risen, my inventory is very sufficient.

There are hundreds of thousands of stones of grain.

Furthermore, there are locust plagues and floods in the north, but there is plenty of rain in the south.

Low-priced food from the south is still being transported through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

So my own cost is no higher than that of Wuxing Qiwang and those wealthy grain merchants. On the other hand, it is also ten dollars, and I have money to make, but Wuxing Qiwang will not make money after the price is reduced.

In this way, the five surnames Qiwang and those merchants will feel uncomfortable.

Who can withstand losing money all the time?

Soon, there were different voices among them.

It's okay to lose money by yourself, and you have to give blood to those wealthy grain merchants.

"It's no way to go on like this!"

"Let's cut off the food for those grain merchants. We don't make money ourselves, let alone provide them with food and let them make a fortune from it?"

"No, doing this will chill the hearts of the grain merchants, and also the hearts of the disciples of the major families?"

"But in this situation, what can we do?"

"Stay for a while longer!"

"The key is that their current business is better than ours. Is it meaningful to last for a while?"

"..." Everyone was silent.

"Hey, why do you say that our price is a penny lower than Benxin Grain Store, and there are still so many people going?"

"Yeah, it's really crazy? It's obvious that our price is low, why are there still so many people going to their house?"

This is what confuses them the most.

They can't figure it out, but the people who buy grain are like mirrors in their hearts.

Although "Five Surnames and Qiwang" and those grain merchants' stores can buy a bucket for [-] yuan, but there is less than [-]% of old grain, dry grain, sifting, and digging out these.

The grains in the "Benxin" grain store are all selected, full-grained, and solid grains.

Another point is that as long as a person enters the "Benxin" grain store, he can't tell what's going on in his heart, it's just comfortable.

All the clerks are smiling to themselves, always showing eight teeth.

It's not like the grain stores of "Five Surnames Qiwang" and other grain merchants. The common people are standing below, and the seller is standing on a high place looking down at him. Across a big counter, he looks like a high-ranking uncle, as if he owes them something. like.

......

At this time, a monk with a dignified figure came outside the princess mansion.

His face was as sculptural as his features were distinct, his two thick eyebrows looked like lacquer, and his eyes were as bright as cold stars.

The monk was dressed in cassock, but he was unstoppably imposing. He came to the gate of the princess mansion and said to the concierge, "Please go in and inform the princess that Monk Bianji is visiting!"

......

Thank you readers for your love, let’s count the votes!

Chapter 43: The monk can touch it, but I can't touch it

The soaring price of grain not only caused wealthy grain merchants to vote for the "five surnames and seven hopefuls" camp, but also the big families in the city panicked.

Now the price of grain is rising again and again, and there are rumors that the warehouses of many grain merchants have run out of grain.

Pressing the tongue to death, when a thousand people in Chang'an City were discussing this matter, panic naturally began to spread.

If there is no food, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food!

How does this make people not panic?

There is a special existence among these big households, and that is the temple.

Take the Pure Land Temple as an example, there are actually private properties and fields, but the output of those private properties and fields are exchanged for silver coins according to the practice of previous years, which enriches the pockets of the monks.

In the past, believers donated food, and they could rely on their own money to not worry about not being able to buy food.

But this year's locust plague and floods, the common people are struggling to eat, let alone donate food, but the Jingtu Temple is reluctant to buy food at a high price, and always feels that the price of food will drop after a while. It's over.

At this time, they thought of the "Benxin" grain store!

And the Princess Mansion behind it.

The name of the "Benxin" grain store, the Jingtu Temple has heard the cocoon these days.

Apart from other things, the fact that this time the stockpiling of grain exceeds 30 shi alone has spread like crazy.

So, the debate came.

Bian Ji was quickly welcomed into the door by his servants, thinking that he would see Princess Gao Yang soon, the smile on his face couldn't be restrained.

At this moment, the beautiful and lively princess reappeared in his mind. Although the Buddha was sitting in his heart, he couldn't help but speed up.

"Amitabha!"

He read it a few times before the ripples in his heart subsided.

Business matters.

Although he and Gao Yang just passed by in a hurry, he is still very sure about this borrowing of food.

Because he heard what Gao Yang said to the Buddha when he was offering incense, he knew the identity of this female benefactor, he also knew that she was extremely dissatisfied with her husband, and he also knew the suffocation in her heart, so he had a lot to say to her .....

"The patroness..."

But when Bian Ji saw Gao Yang, his breezy smile suddenly froze.

Because he found that Princess Gao Yang was snuggling up to an extremely handsome man at this time, and he ignored the eldest Sun Chong who was at the side.

Bianji's mind buzzed, and it was in chaos.

How is this going?

His fingers were trembling uncontrollably, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly, his knuckles turned white.

Heartache!

There is an illusion of falling into the abyss.

"Zen Master, what are you doing here? Zen Master"

"Zen Master..."

After Gao Yang said it twice, Bian Ji suddenly came back to his senses.

He smiled and said reluctantly: "It's like this, our Jingtu Temple wants to buy some food from the Princess Mansion."

Qin Shou also said kindly, "Master Zen, to buy grain, then you can go directly to the grain store. You don't need to come to the princess mansion. I will write you a note later and ask the grain store to give you the cost price."
