The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1072 Use everything to the extreme
"The price of grain in other state capitals has risen, and they can still sell it so cheaply? So don't worry, he won't be able to last for a few days. When the price of grain in other state capitals rises, he will have to sell it at a higher price. By then Will those disaster victims and ordinary people still buy it?"

The man raised the corners of his mouth triumphantly, seeing that Xia Mingqun's expression had obviously loosened, he immediately increased his anger.

"The imperial government's disaster relief money is only 5 taels, plus the money donated by everyone, how much food can we buy? As long as the price of food rises, we can afford it. It is said that the money also includes the wages of the victims and the diversion of the river embankment. Silver, Mr. Gu will be short of opportunities soon."

Xia Mingqun felt relieved when he heard it.yes!What Qin Shengting said is indeed reasonable.

Their Xia Clan has plenty of silver and can afford it.

It's just that if Gu Chengyu can really get a steady stream of cheap food, wouldn't he be stuck on a pirate ship and unable to get off?
Such a lot of money is not a small amount, even if the Xia family has a big business, it will be very distressing to pay!
The business that was originally a stable profit without loss has become a lot of trouble when Gu Chengyu interferes with it. This Gu Chengyu is really at odds with their Xia family.

According to the original plan, this rice grain will definitely earn several 10 taels of silver.Now because of Gu Chengyu, he almost lost his money.

Patriarch Xia scolded Gu Chengyu thousands of times in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't be able to vent his hatred!
Now he can only compete with Gu Chengyu in stamina and money, he doesn't believe that Gu Chengyu's financial resources can match their Xia family.

Suddenly, he thought of a good idea, and Xia Mingqun showed a sinister smile.

The expression on his face also changed from the previous apprehension and hesitation to a look of pride in Zhizhu's grasp.

"Then please trouble Master Qin, the old man wants the five thousand stones!"

"Patriarch Xia is so courageous, this time he will definitely get what he wants and make a lot of money!" Qin Shengting stood up and cupped his hands towards Xia Mingqun.

"Auspicious words from Master Qin!" Xia Mingqun returned a salute to Qin Shengting with a haughty expression.

After Qin Shengting left, Xia Mingqun hurriedly asked the attendants outside the door to grind the ink.Within a quarter of an hour, Xia Mingqun handed a few posts to his followers.

"Immediately send these posts to these houses."

Ju Haoming was running around in a hurry in the house, this adult likes to hang around in front of him when he has nothing to do.Now I have serious business looking for him, but I can't find anyone.

How can this make him not anxious?Their Ju family is a small family, but they can't stand the toss!
Originally, they just wanted to earn more money, but since they took refuge in that person, how can they get away from it, they have already been involved in right and wrong.

"Master! The Xia Mansion outside the door handed over a message, inviting the master to come over and talk about it."

The person in charge took a bronzing post and handed it to Ju Haoming respectfully.

"Xia Mansion?" Ju Haoming was a little stunned, he didn't expect Xia Mansion to send him a post.

"Okay, today's food is sold out, and if there are still people who haven't bought food, come and buy it tomorrow."

A yamen servant put away the things on the table, and then he and another yamen servant carried the heavy wooden box and walked towards the government office.

"Hey? Sir, why is there no food? We all saw it when the food carts entered the city today. Why don't we let us buy so much food?"

A man held a cloth bag in his hand, looking forward to it.

But when it was the third person's turn, the yamen servant said that there was no food, how could he be reconciled?He has been waiting in line for a long time, just to buy a catty of grain so that he can cook porridge when he goes back.

"That's all for today. If you haven't bought it, please go early tomorrow. Today's food has been sold out."

Naturally, Gu Chengyu can't supply unlimited food, and only sells [-] catties of grain a day.Stop when sold out, never sell more.

"What? We have to wait until tomorrow? But our family is out of food, the government can't leave us alone!"

Some people were not reconciled, so they yelled loudly.

"Yes! With so much food, why can't we sell more to us? Isn't it true that we don't give money? Could it be that only the victims of the disaster can buy it, but we can't? What's the reason?"

"Hmph! What's the point? The imperial envoy spent a lot of money to buy this rice from other state capitals. Do you know how much effort it took? I sold it to you for ten yuan a catty, and I have already lost a lot. Who doesn't want to buy rice? My lord If it weren't for looking at you pitifully, would you be able to think of you like this? The rice is not easy to come by, and you sit back and enjoy it, why do you still have such a big opinion?"

When everyone heard it, they were embarrassed to say more.

Indeed, what is the price of food now?To be able to buy a pound of brown rice for ten yuan is already a piece of pie in the sky.

"My lord! The patriarch of the Xia clan posted a message to the four houses, inviting them to talk about it." Ming Mo entered the room and said to Gu Chengyu who was resting with his eyes closed.

"But the four that hoard the most rice?" Gu Chengyu opened his eyes, not surprised by Ming Mo's report.

"Exactly!" Ming Mo nodded, as soon as he came back, his adults asked him to pay close attention to the movements of those big merchants in the city.

"This Patriarch Xia is really free! It seems that he needs to find something to do!" Gu Chengyu didn't take Patriarch Xia seriously. He calculated the date and felt that the previous letter must have arrived in the capital.

"In addition, there was a caravan entering the city just now. According to the villain's observation, the cart is probably full of grain. The villain estimated that it was about five thousand stones."

Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, "Five thousand stones? Which house did you go to?"

"It's the Xia Mansion!"

This Xia Mansion has a lot of confidence, Gu Chengyu sneered.After knowing that he has rice grains to sell cheaply, he still has such courage, which really should not be underestimated.

From the time the other party knew that he was selling rice, he could come up with a countermeasure within half a day, as expected of the patriarch of the Xia clan.

"My lord, what should we do now? They have collected so much grain, so they naturally plan to sell more money. But we have disrupted their plan to make a fortune. If they don't fall for the trick, we won't last long."

Ming Mo thinks about it now, and still feels that his lord is really crazy.

Before he went to buy rice, the adults had told him that he only needed to buy ten shi of rice, but after he came back, he reported six hundred shi.

There is indeed something tricky in it, and this trick is related to the adult's plan.

"These people are thinking that we can't afford it, so they plan to unite and resist us together. They are all one of the largest households in Yingnan Mansion. It goes without saying whether they have money or not. We can go to Sunan Mansion to buy food. They can also go to a state capital that is a little further away. In order to earn more money, they are planning to fight me!"

Gu Chengyu chuckled, these people are really doing everything for money.

"Ah? My lord, what should we do then? We don't have so much money. If they bought all the rice and grain around us, wouldn't we have to reveal our secrets?"
