please make me king

Chapter 602

The seventh year of Chongzhen, the year of Jiaxu, the zodiac is a dog.Bingzi month, Guisi day, that is, the second day of the twelfth lunar month, there is a strong wind.

It is advisable to get engaged, make an alliance, open a business, receive money, receive wealth, meet relatives and friends, and avoid burial.

Zhang Shun didn't care about the cold weather, so he set up an altar outside Luoyang City to prepare for the opening of the market.

Originally, Zhang Shun could wait a little longer until the grain merchants had accumulated more, and took the opportunity to lower the grain price before opening the market.

It's just that he is a major customer of grain merchants, if he does not open the market for a day, the price of grain cannot be fixed, and the grain market cannot be opened for a day.

If there is a long delay and there are many foreign grain merchants, conflicts will inevitably arise and chaos will arise, which is not good.

What's more, officers and soldiers may arrive at any time.It would be a pity if the large amount of grain could not be put into storage in time, but would have been destroyed by the flames of war, and it would have missed Zhang Shun's plan.

Before the opening of the market, Zhang Shun sent people to beat the gongs and drums and set up banners to let people know inside and outside the city.Rich households hold a cash market, grain merchants with food hold a grain market, and those without money and food can also come and hold a personal market to join in the fun.

For a while, there was a sea of ​​people under the platform, and it was very lively, just like a temple fair.The big and small grain merchants had arrived early, and they all waited eagerly for the final judgment of "King Shun".

Everyone is a businessman, and everyone knows how to make a profit and make a profit.Originally, the big guy wanted to take the opportunity to make a lot of money, but now it seems that he will lose his underwear.

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, not optimistic about the opening of the market.Some people have even privately set up a bet on the opening price.

The general odds are stable between eight and nine silver coins.It's just that the only controversial thing is whether the price of grain can fall below nine renminbi a stone.

Some people looked at the grain merchants full of pits, and couldn't help sighing: "Now it seems that the base price of the nine renminbi silver can't be kept. Why am I so greedy, I drank the ecstasy soup, and I want to put all my belongings on the table. Come here to speculate!"

"Now that others can't eat meat, don't even think about drinking soup. I'm afraid we will have to drink thin soup at home for the rest of our lives!"

However, some people still had a little heart, and they couldn't help cheering each other up: "Don't be afraid, King Shun's bid will still be low later on. We big grain merchants should unite to raise the price. After all, he can't let him have the final say!"

According to the rules, if a big customer asks for a lower price when the market opens, several major businessmen can also unite to raise the price and bargain with each other.

It's just that food is everywhere now, and it is beyond doubt that King Shun offered a low price. Can everyone raise the price?

When everyone was thinking differently, they suddenly heard three gongs beating on the stage, and someone shouted: "The time has come, the market is open~"

Facing the biting cold wind, Zhang Shun swaggered to the middle of the stage.The uproar under the stage suddenly stopped, and he looked around, and saw that the expressions of the people below were all different, and they were anxiously waiting.

Zhang Shun didn't know what these people were thinking, he stood on the high platform and shouted angrily: "Everyone has come from a long way, but this king has not been able to welcome you from afar, so please forgive me!"

"Originally, we had to wait a few days for the opening of the market, but now there are many grain merchants and the weather is extremely cold. In order to take care of everyone's health and complete transactions as soon as possible, I decided to open the market as soon as possible."

"The opening of the market today is not the same as usual. I have decided that there is only a buy-it-price deal, no need to bargain!"

When everyone heard it, there was an uproar.In love, you, King Shun, not only want to offer a low price, but also don't let us bargain, is it really unreasonable?
"Silence, silence!" Zhang Shun yelled several times before suppressing the noise of the crowd.

If he wanted to promote, he suppressed first. This was originally Zhang Shun's intention to stir up everyone's anger, which inevitably aroused dissatisfaction.

Seeing that everyone's anger had reached its peak, Zhang Shun shouted loudly: "Hulled and selected white rice, hulled and selected wheat, one stone, one tael of silver!"

The food in the audience, which was originally like a volcano about to erupt, was taken aback when they heard the words, and couldn't believe their ears.

Zhang Shun smiled slightly, and then continued to explain: "You guys are here because of me for the sake of my king. I originally planned that our Henan government would have food to eat, and the big guys would have money to earn, so everyone gets what they want."

"But I never expected that there would be so many people coming, that the price of food would plummet, and many businessmen would be in danger of going bankrupt."

"I've already asked people to do the calculations. The purchase price of autumn grains is about nine renminbis. In addition to the exhaustion of the car and horses along the way, the cost of eating and drinking is about one tael, and the cost at a little distance is also one tael." About one penny. Only hundreds or even thousands of miles away, there is no one or two taels of silver that cannot be brought down."

"I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I am not in charge of the family. Although I intend to let everyone get rich together, I don't have enough money. After thinking about it, the only way to set the price of this grain at about one stone, one or two, can everyone make a small profit. As for some Those who can only protect their capital can only say sorry!"

After speaking, Zhang Shun couldn't help but bowed to everyone.Immediately, the grain merchants in the audience couldn't help crying with joy, and they all praised: "King Shun is indeed unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. Without him, we would have lost everything!"

Originally, they thought it was a blessing that they and others could lose less money, how could they have thought that there was still money to be made?

Even some people with clear minds couldn't help thinking secretly: "This King Shun is indeed a man of integrity, and his plans are not small. If he can climb this line, I am afraid that the profit will be more than a hundred times!"

After all, money touches people's hearts, if you cheat them with empty words, you can only end up grudges.If it is for profit, people are not stingy with words of praise.

Seeing that the effect he wanted was indeed achieved, Zhang Shun couldn't help shouting loudly: "Thank you for your love, if there is anyone who is willing to continue to cooperate, I will sweep the couch and wait for the negotiation!"

"If there is nothing else, the market will open today, and I will order a special person to take care of it. Pay with one hand, inspect the goods with the other, and the two parties will settle the payment, and the payment for the goods will be settled!"

Immediately after the market opening ceremony was over, Li Baihu, Song Xiance, Chen Jingzhi and others ordered the civil officials to make trademarks respectively and distribute them to the grain merchants present in order, ordering them to go to handle the money and grain transactions according to the trademarks.

There have been three or five groups of people who have been trained for a long time, and the prices are checked one by one.Some inspectors with knives and shovels just stabbed the shovel into several bags randomly, grabbed a handful, took a look at the color, tasted the taste, and estimated the water content, and then shouted loudly: " Middle and upper shelled white rice, one tael, two cents, ready to be weighed!"

Immediately afterward, the civil servants hurriedly wrote down: a certain grain merchant, the upper and lower shelled white rice in the grain, the price is one or two cents a cent.

Another seven or eight big men hurriedly unloaded the rice from the cart, and weighed them one by one with a long pole scale.

Every time a bag was weighed, the official was ordered to record it: a bag of shelled white rice weighed [-] catties and [-] taels, the weight of the bag was [-] catty and [-] taels, and the combined grain weighed [-] catties and [-] taels.

All of a sudden, the whole city was bustling with activity inside and outside the city.
