Chapter 590 Going to Luoyang to Pick Up Money

In other words, since Li Baihu received Zhang Shun's order, since he left Luoyang City, he has made a lot of noise along the way, preaching that "Henan Prefecture has suffered a once-in-a-thousand-year drought. Count the money."

Every time he went to a place, Li Baihu sent his subordinates to the nearby grain shop to buy grain.

The grain buyer asked, "What is the price of grain today?"

"One tael, one penny, one stone, no bargaining!" The owner of the grain shop replied coldly.

"The ten taels of silver for one stone, can you sell it?"

"Ah? Yes! Yes! Yes! Of course I can." The owner of the grain store suspected that he had heard it wrong, and quickly replied regretfully.

"Didn't you say no bargaining?"

"Isn't it because I haven't met you who can bargain like this?"

"Okay, let's give it a stone! Don't give me a shoddy, mixed with sand!"

"Don't worry, at this price, you let me choose one by one for you, and I won't even retaliate!" The owner of the grain shop smiled happily, and he still had the superior attitude before.

"Since this is the case, then I will be disrespectful, and I will ask the boss to choose one by one for me. I want all the big and plump ones, and don't have any grains on them!" road.

"Ah? My uncle, I was only joking, but you really take it seriously!" The owner of the grain shop was dumbfounded.

"I'm just joking too!" The grain buyer patted the boss on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I'm in a hurry, even if you want to pick it for me, I'm not willing to let you pick it!"

The owner of the grain store saw that the grain buyers were talkative, so he quickly asked in a low voice, "My lord, what are you doing? Don't buy at low prices, but buy at high prices, don't you?"

"Aren't you a fool?"

"Don't dare, dare not! I'm just curious, so I'll ask." How dare the owner of the grain shop admit it?

"Okay, seeing that you are a kind-hearted person, I will tell you the truth! This year, Henan suffered a bloody bad luck. First, it suffered a once-in-a-thousand-year disaster, and people could fall into the cracked cultivated land. And the thief Shun The king has occupied the Luoyang mansion and seized tens of millions of wealth from King Fu. Then you think, what will happen to King Shun now that he has money and no food?"

Whoops, I am familiar with this.The owner of the grain shop couldn't help laughing and said, "What else can I do, let's raise the price!"

"Hey! You are a big boss, you can even guess the methods of a big man like King Shun." The grain buyer said with a mysterious smile, "I saw it with my own eyes in Luoyang City a few days ago. To buy a bag of corn to make porridge, you actually paid a thousand taels!"

"Silver?" The owner of the grain shop couldn't believe it.

"Gold!" The grain buyer looked as if you were a fool, and said with a smile: "Golden gold ingots, twelve taels each, a total of one hundred. All of them are weighed, and they are all real gold! The boss is rich, have you ever seen it?" ?”

"Ah?" The owner of the grain shop was about to drool.

"Do you know why I am so generous? You will be rewarded for the extra, and I am not short of money!" The grain buyer smiled and threw a bag of wheat onto the cart, and said with a smile, "Just send my cart to In Luoyang City, you will have enough food and drink for a few lifetimes, so why care about those stinky taels of money?"

After finishing his speech, the man loaded all the grain he bought into the cart and walked away.

The owner of the grain shop looked at the white piece of silver in his hand, and suddenly felt that it didn't smell so fragrant anymore.

However, he was skeptical about this.He hurriedly ordered Xiao Er to close the shop for the time being, and go to other people's houses by himself.

It didn't matter that he was walking around, the rest of the grain shops were either closing or changing the signs, and there was written in black and white: Today's grain price, two taels for one stone, the price is the same!

He couldn't help but sneaked over and asked, "Boss, wasn't it still one tael yesterday? Why did the price increase today!"

"Oh? Old money, won't your house raise the price? If your house doesn't raise the price, I will eat as much as you have!"

The mud horse was actually recognized. "Old Qian" hurriedly laughed and said, "How big is your belly? I'm not afraid to hold you to death!"

Immediately, "Old Qian" hurriedly returned to the food team, and ordered: "The business is closed today, guys, hurry up and find some more chariots and cloth bags with me, and prepare to go to Luoyang City to sell food!"

The guys were curious when they heard this, and couldn't help asking: "Boss, we understand that we are preparing the carriages and horses, but why are you preparing the cloth bag?"

"Go to Luoyang to pick up money!" The owner of the grain shop replied plausibly.It turned out that he still had ordinary thoughts.Although King Nafu's mansion is large, it may not be full of gold and silver.

King Shun "doesn't feel bad about selling his father's land". After losing the gold and silver in a short time, he must have only copper coins and household items to make up for.At that time, my family has the foresight, and the cloth bags I must have prepared will come in handy.

For a time, with Luoyang City as the center, Shanxi and Zhili in the north, Bianliang and Shandong in the east, Huguang and Huaiyang in the south, and Shaanxi and Gansu in the west, everyone heard the name of King Shun.

Although the sayings are different, there are generally two points: one is that King Fu fell, King Shun was full, and got tens of millions of taels of gold and silver;In order to survive, King Shun had to spend a lot of money to buy grain to maintain his life.

To be honest, this set of rhetoric, as long as some brains will not believe it.However, people always like to believe what they want to believe. To put it simply, they like wishful thinking.

Once passed on to ten, ten to a hundred, suddenly Luoyang was loaded with grains in carts and carts for more than a thousand miles around Luoyang, and they headed all the way to Luoyang City.

If viewed from space, the tens of thousands of food teams are like stars holding the moon, and like moths flying into a flame!
With the desire for a better life, the desire for gold and silver treasures, and the benevolence to help the people of Luoyang, they went straight to Luoyang after going through all kinds of hardships and hardships.

There are those transported by boat, by car, by someone on their backs, by horses and camels, and even the elderly and young children, even with a small bag, follow them.

Regardless of the fact that there is a lot of fighting within a thousand li radius of Luoyang, Zhang Shun can't live in peace near Luoyang City.

He had ordered Han Lin to be the master, assisted by the priest Gao Yizhi, and set up another small city outside Luoyang City.

The method of defending the city, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, there are those who deliberately build mandarin duck cities, and there are also those who depend on each other.

The most typical mandarin duck cities are Xiangyang and Fancheng. The two cities are separated by sweat and connected by a pontoon bridge.Thinking back to the time when Second Master Guan was so powerful in China, Cao Ren, who was sticking to Fancheng, had nothing to do with it.Not to mention, it took six years for the once powerful Mongol Empire to besiege Xiangfan before taking the city with difficulty.

The city of Luoyang is huge, Zhang Shun is unable to rebuild a city in a hurry, and keep watch with Luoyang City.

However, although Zhang Shun can't build a big city, he might as well build a small city.In fact, there was originally a small city in the northwest corner of Luoyang City, called Jinyong City.This city is small and strong, and it is often regained with the defense of Jinyong City after Luoyang City is lost.

Now the city has long been abandoned, and Luoyang City is not the old Luoyang City.Zhang Shun couldn't rely on the original foundation to build the city, so he simply started from scratch and asked Han Lin and Gao Yizhi to find another place near Luoyang to build a military bastion.
