Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 227
Of course, the unprepared operation of Yu Wangyan's family made the business of other grain stores follow suit.

In the case of a price station, as long as there is one leader in the same area, the price will quickly roll in.Unless there is a way to transform the brand, if it is just the basic products of the same type, it will not be able to hold on at all.

For example, the business of Zhou's Grain Shop has also decreased in the past few days, but Zhou Li did not forcefully lower the price, but simply started asking people to reduce the supply in He Song Town.

As for the influence of Gu's Commercial Bank, it is not that great.

In Gu's Commercial Bank, there are only two or three cabinets in the area that supplies rice.And these cabinet areas are divided according to the number of varieties, so the actual area occupied by each type of food is actually not much.

Speaking of which, the food was only enough for daily retail, not enough for wholesale, so naturally it didn't have much impact.

There is even no need to deliberately lower the price, as long as it is matched with the simplest small promotions such as gifts, the business will continue as usual.
-
Two days later, when the rain stopped, Zhou Li sent someone to deliver a letter, meaning that he wanted to open a new route to Yuzhou Prefecture at the Four Seas Escort.The reason was not stated in the letter.

But Gu Qi knew that the old fox most likely set his mind on rice grains.

Although there are food bans and controls among state capitals, it is not impossible to do so, and it depends on whether the profits are large enough.

The news that Yuzhou has been raining for several days and the drought has been alleviated has spread throughout Jiangling County, and will soon spread to the entire Jiangzhou Prefecture, and even the entire Dakang. By then, the food prices in the neighboring prefectures will naturally increase. will be greatly reduced.

However, Yuzhou is different.Even if the disaster situation in Yuzhou has eased, what is the use of water?

It will take at least half a year for the grain seeds to be sown until the autumn harvest.Even if you only plant those fast-growing crops, it will take two or three months to grow them at the fastest. What's more, most of the people who stay in Yuzhou Mansion may not even have spring crops.

It is precisely during this period that if it can operate well, its profit will naturally be more objective than that of shredded tobacco and tea cakes.Of course the risks are greater.

Zhou Li, a fox, is really a typical example of wanting to die.

Gu Qi threw the letter paper into the stove, turned to Cui Qing and said, "How many brothers from the town are still in the bodyguard?"

"There are six more people." Cui Qing replied.

Gu Qi frowned, this manpower is not enough.

Cui Qing thought for a while and said: "In three days, there should be two teams of horses and horses coming back, and there should be 15 people by then."

Gu Qi nodded: "Choose from these 15 people, and keep the ten with better skills. Come with me to Yuzhou Mansion in four days."

Cui Qing was surprised: "Seventh sister, you want to go in person?"

"Ah."

"Yes. I'll go get ready now."

Although Cui Qing was surprised, he didn't ask any further questions.

No wonder Cui Qing was surprised.Cui Qing didn't know the meaning behind Zhou Li's letter. He only knew that the Escort Bureau opened a route to Lanmu County, Anzhou Prefecture, and Gu Qi didn't go there in person on the first trip to deliver shredded tobacco.This time, it was only to open a new line to Yuzhou Prefecture, but they actually wanted to bring someone there in person.

Of course, Gu Qi would make this trip, not just for Zhou Li's fox's ration business, but to see how the current situation in Yuzhou is.

If it is true that the relief of the disaster is expected to be a waste of time, maybe we can take this opportunity to stock up some available fields for a rainy day.
-
Four days later, at the end of Yin time.The ten people selected by Cui Qing were ready to go outside Xiaoqi Village.

Because of the special behavior this time, all ten people took off the bodyguard clothes with the special logo of the Four Seas Bodyguard Bureau, and changed into the coarse cloth shorts of ordinary people.

Gu Qi changed into simple and convenient men's clothes, tied his hair up high, and fixed it with a simple wooden hairpin.After Shunzi and Jiang Ping finished counting the number of people and supplies, they left Xiaoqi Village silently under the hazy sky.
-
Last year, it took Gu Qi and Gu Danian a full month to cross the border from Linping Town to Hesong Town.And this will be light and simple, and the horse will go fast, and the group will arrive at the border of Yuzhou Prefecture after only two days of walking.

After crossing the border, I passed through several villages along the road, and the doors of every house were closed, and there were not many villagers on the village road in broad daylight.

In fact, there is only a difference of less than a hundred miles, but on the side of Yuzhou, there is a desolate and desolate atmosphere, which is completely different from the scene in Yunzhou Mansion across the border.

Gu Qi and the others didn't stay in these villages too much, they just simply inquired about the situation ahead, and they rushed forward.After walking for three days, I arrived at Yuan'an Town.

Yuan'an Town is the last town in the south of Yuzhou Funan, and it is also where Yu's house used to be.

Perhaps the number of people coming and going to Yuzhou Prefecture has gradually increased in the past few days. Yuan'an Town, which was originally just a small number of yamen servants guarding the city and patrolling, now has several yamen servants guarding the city gate, checking the people entering and leaving.

Escort escort car travel has a special guide post.But at this time, Gu Qi and the others did not come in the name of the Escort Bureau, so they spent some money in advance to buy a road post from a down-and-out small business surnamed Qi.

"Which caravan are you from? Quickly show the merchant guide post!"

Outside the town gate, seeing Gu Qi and a few people coming with chariots and horses, a small group of government servants surrounded them vigilantly.

Shunzi dismounted first, and said with a smile: "Master, we are the caravan of the Qi family. Today we mainly escorted our young master to Yuzhou Mansion to see the old house, and did not escort the merchants."

While speaking, Shunzi moved his cuffs, and stuffed a few coins into the hands of the leading yamen servant.

The yamen servant received the money, his complexion changed slightly, but he still acted as if he was doing business, and shouted loudly: "The county yamen has an order. In recent days, many thieves and bandits have infiltrated the city innocently. In order to protect the people in the city from There is no reason for the disaster, no matter who enters or exits Yuan'an Town with anyone in the past half month, they must be strictly investigated.

You said that your caravan didn't carry any goods today, so how do I know if you brought other things that shouldn't be brought.

Don't be so long-winded, there is nothing less than a general inquiry, and tell the people in the carriage to come down quickly. "

When Shunzi heard this, his expression turned ugly.

Although in the past, dart walkers often encountered difficulties with the guards of the city, but most of them greeted them with smiles after stuffing money.It's the first time I've come across this kind of yamen servant who takes the money but keeps the money.

"Everyone get off the horses. Don't make things difficult for the messenger." Gu Qi got off the carriage, stopped Shunzi from continuing to speak, and handed the road post to the yamen servant: "Thank you, sir."

The leading yamen guard guarding the city gate cast a glance at Gu Qi.Jian is just a young man with a handsome face and a thin figure.

With a nonchalant mocking smile, he greeted the brothers behind him and said, "Go up and search for me. Search carefully."

"Yes, boss!" Several yamen servants grinned, pulled the curtains and jumped into the carriage.

A total of three carriages were driven this time.The two leading carriages were empty except for the seats.Only the last carriage contained a lot of personal changing supplies, spare rations and water.
