Chapter 200 Set up cheap granaries everywhere to monopolize the supply of ordinary rice so that ordi

Affordable granaries were quickly built. All you need to do is buy a large warehouse, clean it thoroughly of rats, and then use cement sand and gravel to make the ground into a cement floor. All the places where rat holes used to be were blocked with cement. After completing the mouse-proofing project. Custom-made wooden floor rows for moisture-proof warehouses.

On the fourth day, the cement floor of the warehouse was dry. Thick wooden rafts were placed on the ground, and bags of grain were stacked high on them, filling the warehouse. Xiao Yunyan let her men.

Now put up a sign outside to sell grain. The price is still very cheap. What he sells here is all refined rice and white flour from the feudal land, or rice and wheat with husks. The rest are noodles, pancakes, pastries and the like that have been deeply processed.

Xiao Yunyan was afraid that people would mistakenly think that this was also a high-priced grain store, so she wrote the price on each item of grain on a large publicity board. A bit like the price tags on modern supermarkets.

Xiao Yunyan gave each of the waiters a hand-held loudspeaker. The streets were full of shouts: "Beichuan Fair Price Granary is opening today with a big discount. As long as customers come to the store, there will be gifts regardless of whether they buy grain or not."

Because of this slogan, some curious people went to the newly opened Beichuan Fair Food Store on the pier in small groups.

When they saw the price marked on the huge price sign, they couldn't believe it was real.

Such good polished rice is so white and translucent that you can smell the rice fragrance from far away, but it only sells for eighteen cents a pound. Wheat noodles as white as snow cost only fifteen cents a pound.

The people couldn't believe what they saw. Go ask the guys watching the stalls. The guys said: "The price you see on the notice board is the real selling price. It doesn't matter whether you buy half a catty or a hundred catties."

If you buy less, you need to prepare your own containers. If the quantity purchased exceeds 20 kilograms, the stall will give customers bags of grain. "

These people still couldn't believe it. Continue to ask why this rice and noodles are sold so cheaply? The worst rice in other shops costs fifty cents a pound.

The guys said: "This is the caravan of Prince Duanjing and Princess Duanjing of Beichuan in Central Continent. No matter where they go, food is sold at a fair price.

In the future, affordable grain depots will also be opened in various ports and cities. This affordable grain depot will continue to operate in the future. Grain is sold at this price. There is no need to doubt that the grains are all normal new grains. Much better than rice on the market. "

Hearing such exciting news. The people couldn't believe it at first, and then ran back like the wind. Go tell your family, tell your neighbors. He even ran far away to tell his distant relatives and quickly took the flour bag to buy food. Of course, if you can buy twenty kilograms of rice, the store will also give you rice bags.

One after another, those who went back to report the news came back, followed by a group of relatives, friends, and neighbors who came to buy food. They are afraid that such good things will never happen again.

Xiao Yunyan asked the guys to use loudspeakers to tell everyone that there was no need to crowd and there was no need to be in a hurry. There is enough stock in the warehouse to buy enough food for everyone. Moreover, the price of food will not fluctuate in the future and the supply will be long-term.

Even with such propaganda, the people are still anxious and look forward to buying food immediately. Only by buying food into their hands can they let go of their worries. Confirm this news is true.

Xiao Yunyan decided to leave ten crew members here for now. She immediately teleported to Nanping Continent, and currently found 286 senior brothers in the eleven branches. There are many senior brothers who want to help her run cheap granaries in various places, and at the same time make a fortune for themselves.

Xiao Yunyan felt that this was a matter of killing two birds with one stone, so she naturally agreed.

Therefore, affordable granaries were opened all the way from Qiming Port in Anxi Country, Nanting Prefecture to Pearl City. The granary sells two grades of rice and noodles.

The white rice, flour, rice and wheat supplied to ordinary people by the affordable granary are all processed from the grain produced in the fertile land.

There is also a kind of rice sold at an extremely high price, more expensive than rice on the market, and even priced as much as tribute rice. It is made by Xiao Yunyan using rice and wheat produced in the space.

This is also done in a way that does not want to compete with the people. Ordinary people should be able to afford food, at least enough to eat. So Xiao Yunyan decided to supply two kinds of rice to all affordable granaries. If you can afford high-priced rice, buy high-quality rice. If you can afford affordable rice, buy ordinary rice.

As for the rice price positioning of other stores, it is not within Xiao Yunyan's reference range. After all, those people are profiteering. Food prices are high, but there is no corresponding high quality to support such high prices. To put it bluntly, it means raising the price from the ground up.

Xiao Yunyan doesn't need to leave any profits to these people. If she wants to, just sell it at the normal price. Xiao Yunyan's price for ordinary rice noodles is 40% higher than the price in Beichuan Fengdi. It also leaves room for profit for other caravans.

As for their desire to make huge profits, sorry, they can sell polished rice. Xiao Yunyan wants to monopolize the market for the grain that ordinary people buy. The purpose is not to sell at a high price, but at a low price so that all ordinary people can eat food.

These people who sell grain at high prices also buy grain at low prices when purchasing grain from the place of origin. Farmers are not earning the high profits they deserve.

They come to other continents where food is scarce and sell it at high prices. In addition to compensating them for the cost and risk of transportation, the price difference in the middle is also a huge profit.

Xiao Yunyan is not opposed to doing business overseas to earn high profits. However, when it comes to food issues for the people, she feels that making huge profits from this means she has no kind heart. In times of famine, people will starve to death.

Xiao Yunyan's action affected the interests of many people. Those who can afford big ships to travel to overseas markets are big traders from various countries, and even the caravans of official families have powerful forces behind them.

Therefore, every time a low-price grain shop opens in a place, the local people will be happy, rush to tell each other, and queue up to buy grain. At the same time, it makes those who open grain shops and sell grain at high prices hate them to the bone.

Some of them were behind the scenes and set fire to warehouses. Sometimes a group of people come to fight and kill in person.

Therefore, along the way, the crew members either put out fires or fought, and spent their spare time selling food. The crew had a busy day, and it was a worthwhile trip.

The crew members are all battle-hardened. Not only did he develop accurate marksmanship. He even developed a good kung fu.

Grappling skills and fighting skills were all taught to them by Xiao Yunyan. It's much easier to use than the martial arts routines they once learned.

In the process of close combat, in addition to speed and strength, the most important thing is skill. What Xiao Yunyan taught them was the close combat technique that future generations of special operations personnel would master.

These crew members have fought all the way and have gained more and more practical experience. If you encounter any problems, please ask Xiao Yunyan for advice later.

Xiao Yunyan will give them very professional guidance. Then practice it during the next fight. This combination of theory and practice training has enabled these crew members to make rapid progress.

These crew members were originally trained by Li Mohan. Now, after this sea voyage and fighting, everyone has become battle-hardened.

want

To say one against a hundred is a bit exaggerated, but to say one against ten is absolutely easy.

This still refers to the time when fighting with bare hands. If weapons, especially firecrackers, landmines, cold weapons and hidden weapons are added, their comprehensive force value will increase several times.

It is not impossible for ordinary thugs to fight one against a hundred in front of them. If drugged are added, it is impossible to estimate how many people one person can knock down.

Let’s go back to the time when we were selling food in Pearl City. Many residents cannot afford much food. But seeing that the price of food is so cheap, and not wanting to miss the opportunity, we are afraid that the price of food will increase next time or even the next day.

So they asked the sales crew if they could barter for the dried seafood they had at home.

The crew asked them, apart from dried seafood, did they have any pearls at home? If you have any pearls, you can take them and sell them. Whether it is dried seafood or pearls, the purchase price is much higher than the market price, or even doubled.

Then the crew posted the specifications and price list of the pearls.

The regulations on pearl acquisition are very detailed and not so general. Mainly from the shape and color of the pearl? Size, and finish to test its grade.

Then price based on quantity. If it is pearls of the same specification, the larger the quantity, the higher the price. Especially when it can be paired into a necklace, additional rewards will be given.

For example, large pearls come in pairs and are very similar in color and shape. This is suitable for making a pair of earrings or earrings. It may also be embedded in your lady's shoes or the collar of her clothes. Because it is easy to use, it is worth more than a single large pearl.

Seeing the detailed price list corresponding to the standard grading of pearls, they also carefully studied and compared them. Even the most common ones were twice as high as the original purchase price. That is, a very ordinary small pearl, as long as it is approximately round and has a smooth surface. The minimum price can be sold for fifteen cents.

When you encounter the best pearls, a master will give him a professional rating.

A large, perfectly round bead with a diameter of three centimeters. Whether it's pink or white, it's twenty taels of silver each. A large round bead with a diameter of four centimeters is worth fifty taels.

Seeing that the purchase price was so high, a man carefully took out a white cloth bag from his arms on the spot. He took out a pair of top quality large pearls from inside.

The pair of pearls this man took out were so beautiful, perfectly round in shape, pink and translucent in color, with a faint halo on them. The two beads are almost identical.

The master measured it with a caliper and found that the diameter was 6.3 centimeters. These large, round pink beads were said to have come from the shell of a giant sea turtle.

After appraising the grade, the master told Xiao Yunyan that this was the best-quality large pearl he had ever received.

Xiao Yunyan asked the master who appraised the product to price it at five hundred taels. The master was in a dilemma because the purchase price was too high.

Xiao Yunyan said that she planned to keep these pearls for herself. Because she likes this pink and shiny color very much. Since you like it, it doesn't matter if you give them more money. Such wild large pearls have excellent appearance and color. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is the best and can be mounted on top when making a hair crown.

When the master told the appraisal results and price, the pearl seller cried with joy. He said his mother finally had money for medical treatment. He took the money and was about to go to treat his mother, but was stopped by the crew member who gave him the money.

The man selling pearls was very nervous at that time. He thought something had gone wrong and the money would not be given to him. The fear of nervousness and excitement at that time made the crew members afraid to come into close contact with him for fear of scaring the nervous man.

The crew members told him in a gentle manner that the caravan not only sold food, but also some particularly effective pills.

I don’t know what disease the man’s mother has. If there are pills that are suitable for the disease, they can be sold to him. The price is very cheap, but the effect is particularly good.

The man clutched the banknote on his chest tightly and asked the crew member nervously: "Are you telling the truth? My mother suffers from asthma. It is very painful when she gets sick. She almost fainted several times. Fortunately, It gets better every time. Is there really any medicine that can cure it?"

He took his mother to see a doctor, and the doctor said that she needed to be taken care of slowly with the best medicine. The annual medication cost is at least one hundred taels of silver.

This man is a filial child. In order to save his widowed mother, he went to the deep sea every day to catch sea clams and pearls.

One day he saw a dying turtle lying on the beach with its shell on its back.

The young man was very kind. He helped the turtle turn its shell over and helped push the big turtle back to the sea. The turtle did not swim away immediately, but called to the young man.

The big turtle asked the young man why he looked so sad. The young man truthfully told the truth that his mother was seriously ill and needed the best pearls to sell at a high price to save his mother.

The big turtle was silent for a long time and sighed, and said to the young man: "Young man, you and I are destined to be together today. If it weren't for your help, I would be lying on my back on this beach unable to get up. I will not be able to return to the sea until the tide rises tomorrow morning."

Young man, if you are kind-hearted, you should be kind in return. To tell you the truth, I have some very beautiful pearls hidden in my turtle shell. "

The young man couldn't believe it. They dig out the pearls contained in the shells of sea clams. I've never heard of turtles producing pearls.

The big turtle said: "I not only have pearls, but also night-light pearls. Since you helped me today, I also want to give you something in return."

I won’t give you the Night Pearl, that is my life pill. If I give it to you, my life will be gone. I can give you a pair of small pearls. "

When the big turtle squeezed out two pearls from the hem of his skirt. The young man was dumbfounded. Where is this pair of small pearls? It is clearly the best large pearl. Looking at the appearance, he knew he was rich. Not only can my mother's disease be cured, but it can last for many years.

Because, with these two pearls, he can calmly insist on going to the beach to pick pearls every day. Day after day, year after year. As long as my mother's illness is treated with medicine, her life will not be in danger.

But what made him very angry was that he took this pair of big pearls to several merchants who collected pearls to inquire. The maximum price offered is one hundred and fifty taels of silver.

It sounds like a lot, but for this young man, it's a drop in the bucket. His mother needs more than one hundred taels for medicine a year, and also needs the supply of other nutritional products. These one hundred and fifty two are enough for a year.

How could he be so lucky that every year he would meet a big turtle lying on the beach, help him lift it up, and then give it a pearl in return?

The person who bought it gave him an idea, "If you can find the source of this pearl, there may be more valuable pearls."

The man said sincerely that he had accidentally saved the turtle, and the man reluctantly gave up the two big pearls squeezed out of the turtle shell. How could he ask for it from others in the future?

After the man heard what the man said, his eyes lit up and he persuaded him to ask the turtle for another pair of pearls, so that his mother could be cured. The man firmly opposed it, and he would not repay a favor. Besides, how would he find that big turtle again? Even if he found it, he would never do such villainous behavior.

Precisely because the man insisted on his principles, the pair of pearls were not sold even after half a year. This time Xiao Yunyan sells grain. He originally wanted to buy some food for his mother.

However, when he saw the price list of pearls, he was so excited that he took out the pearls he kept with him to try them out.

I never thought that the price offered by the other party was ridiculously high. His estimated price was three hundred taels of silver, but he was given five hundred taels.

Now he actually said that there are cheap and easy-to-use pills that can save his mother's life and completely cure his mother's illness. In other words, these five hundred taels of silver could not be spent at all. He and his mother will have a very comfortable life in the future.

After the man told his story. The crew member said: "Our master's medical skills are very magical. She is the miracle doctor in our country. She has made many pills herself. Among them are pills for treating asthma. Each pill sells for one tael of silver. You can buy one pill. Go home and give it to aunt to try. If the effect is good, buy ten more pills, and aunt’s disease will almost be cured."

The man heard the crew say this. I couldn't contain my excitement. He bought a pill on the spot and ran home to give it to his mother.

An hour later, the man ran back again. Want to buy ten pills. At the same time, ask the crew if the time is enough? The crew member said that it would not exceed fifteen pills at most, and the average asthma patient would be cured after taking five or six pills.

This man was not short of money and bought 20 pills at once. He said that he was prepared for anything, and his mother's life was more important than anything else.

Xiao Yunyan has trained the guys before. You can keep a few of these pills on hand after you are cured. Save one or two pills each year for prevention during peak asthma season. The crew told him that if the pills were not taken. Can be placed in a cool place. Ventilated place. It will not expire within ten years. Taking one or two pills as a preventive measure during peak asthma season is very effective.

The man had heard that the pills could be stored for ten years without going bad. He was cruel and said that his mother's life was more important than anything else. And the pill is there, and he can donate it if anyone else needs it. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. So he added ten more pills.

Armed with thirty pills that could have saved his mother's life, the man was grateful to the crew member who suggested it to him. The crew member waved his hand to him and said that this was all explained by his master in advance, and he would help anyone who could help a patient.

The man said he must see this miracle doctor and thank her for giving his mother hope. Fortunately, Xiao Yunyan is in the warehouse. Because food sells very quickly outside the store. Xiao Yunyan keeps adding inventory to those categories that are particularly easy to sell.

I heard that the man who sold a pair of top-quality pearls to save his mother wanted to thank her. She also wanted to meet this very filial man. At the same time, I also thank him for selling me such a pair of top-notch large pearls.

When Xiao Yunyan saw the man who was nine feet tall and had a dignified appearance. It is a pity to lament that this man looks so heroic but only works as a pearl diver on the beach.

The man introduced himself and said his name was Saino. I grew up fishing for pearls with my father on the beach, because my father lost his life trying to save other crew members in a storm.

Today, I live with my mother. My mother was extremely sad after her father passed away, and she also contracted wind and cold, and she developed asthma ever since.

Whenever I get excited, I can't breathe. To this end, he tried his best and spent all his savings. But there is still no effect. I heard the miracle doctor here said that my mother's illness can only be cured and her life can be prolonged by relying on good medicinal materials. So he fished for pearls day and night.

God took pity on their mother and son, and allowed him to accidentally save a big turtle and get a pair of top-quality colorful beads. By chance, I met Princess Duanjing, a real miracle doctor who not only sold pearls at a high price, but also obtained miracle medicine. His mother was saved, and he wanted to thank the savior.

Xiao Yunyan told him that he didn't have to thank himself. If he wanted to thank himself, he should thank himself. It was his filial piety that moved the world. That's why there was such a coincidence.

Saino wanted to kowtow to Xiao Yunyan on the spot, Xiao Yunyan. Use your inner strength to hold him up. Please don't. This is a great gift. She asked him to go back quickly to treat his mother's illness. At the same time, in order to reward his filial piety, Xiao Yuntian gave him a bamboo tube of Lingquan ginseng diluted liquid. and tell him how to use it.

Shaino thanked Xiao Yunyan very much, and then carefully held the box containing the pills and the bamboo tube. I drank the ginseng diluted liquid and walked quickly towards home. Xiao Yunyan looked at Shaino's back and shook her head, saying it was a pity.

The crew member next to him asked the organization. Why do you say it's a pity? Xiao Yunyan said that he just looked at Saino's life experience with his yin and yang eyes. He is a very capable man. Especially when diving in the deep sea, he can actually dive for three quarters of an hour. This kind of ability is a bit overkill when it comes to collecting pearls.

Xiao Yunyan believes that Saino is suitable to be a crew member at sea. Not only does he have good physical fitness, but he is also good at underwater skills. In real danger, he can save himself. It is also a particularly reliable companion for other crew members on the same ship.

This crew member is also a very good person. He said, master, would you like me to ask him? If he is willing to be with us. Peers make a crew. Wouldn't that be better? Xiao Yunyan is worried about Saino. Because of filial piety, I don’t want to leave my mother. The crew member said to ask anyway if he could really leave the house. Go to sea. That's really one. Very good future.

The crew member quickly followed Saino in pursuit. This Saino's feet are really fast. when the crew caught up with him. Saino has arrived home.

He was very surprised to see the crew members running out of breath. Could something be wrong?

The crew member took a breath and said to him: "Our master values ​​you very much and thinks you are quite suitable to be a crew member. We crew members live a very happy life at sea. The organization provides high wages and good treatment, and we can also learn various abilities and Skills are the most trustworthy subordinates around the master.

I wanted to come and have a look. Are you willing to join us as a free sailor on the sea with the master?
