Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 9 I don't even have money in my internal treasury
Li Shimin was speechless.

Especially the last sentence of the order to chase away guests left him speechless.

At this time, it is impossible to say that he is the emperor, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin replied in anger and embarrassment: "It's because I was thinking too naively."

I thought Fang Yuan would sneer some more, but unexpectedly Fang Yuan suddenly changed his face.

"Hahaha, Boss Li has great love for the world. I am deeply impressed and respectful."

"Boss Li must not be merciful when bidding later. After buying the grain, he can consider donating it to the imperial court."

Fang Yuan smiled, and patted Li Shimin's shoulder with his big hand.

Li Daye must be a rich man, so there is no need to make trouble with the other party before bidding.

Even if he can't buy food, he can still contribute to the bidding.

Li Shimin was stunned by such a slap, thinking to himself when was the last time he was slapped on the shoulder like this.

Immediately savoring Fang Yuan's words carefully, he felt that Fang Yuan was a bad person, he refused to give food, but let himself buy it and then give it away.

But cough cough Fang Yuan said according to what he just said, there is no problem.

"sure."

Li Shimin nodded in embarrassment, and retreated.

As soon as he sat down, Du Ruhui asked about the situation, but he couldn't hear the words on the ring.

The ring was a little far away from the crowd, and the whispered words could not be heard below, and the crowd couldn't hear clearly.

"Nothing. Is this iced watermelon?"

Li Shimin shook his head and did not answer.

Immediately, he noticed that there was an extra glass of red liquid on the table, and there was a burst of coolness on it, and he was surprised.

"Yes, it was sent by the green summer girl."

"Drinking it in this weather is very thirst-quenching and refreshing."

Du Ruhui did not continue to ask, and explained.

"Iced watermelon. There is still ice in Wuling County this month"

Li Shimin murmured.

It's not like he hasn't had iced watermelon before.

It's only May Day, and the ice cubes saved by the royal family were all used up last month.

He didn't expect Wuling County to still have ice cubes at this time, which really surprised him.

This Wuling County is really full of surprises hidden everywhere, like a treasure, and there are good things to look for.

No, to be precise, Fang Yuan revealed surprises everywhere, there were many unexpected things about him.

Or he should wait until he digs out all the secrets of Fang Yuan before revealing his identity.

What will Fang Yuan's expression look like then?
Will you regret talking to yourself like that just now?

"Everyone, the bidding is about to start, I would like to say a few words first."

Fang Yuan walked to the middle of the ring, looked at the crowd and said loudly.

Everyone's eyes were attracted, and they stopped talking.

"This bidding is fair and just, and the highest bid wins."

"Just now you have seen the grain situation. They are all high-quality grain, with an output of about 100 million shi. They will all be harvested tomorrow."

"Now the price of rice in the Wuling County market is [-] qian per bucket, that is, [-] qian per stone. Bidding starts with this as the base price. There is no cap. Whoever has the highest price will get the batch of grain."

Fang Yuan said loudly.

The on-site caravan representatives suddenly became enthusiastic.

At the same time, each of them showed a look of shock, and their breathing became slightly short of breath.

They have traveled far and wide, and have a great understanding of the food in the world, and know how much food is out there now.

Taking Chang'an City as a representative, a bucket of grain in Chang'an City can now be sold for [-] yuan, which is a hundred times that of Wuling County!
If one million stones from Wuling County were bought at a low price, and then resold to Chang'an City, it would be an astronomical income!
Li Shimin and Du Ruhui were also shocked, shocked by the price of grain in Wuling County.

As far as they know, the price of grain in Chang'an City has never been lower than five cents a bucket.

At this moment, the monarch and his ministers looked at each other and vowed to take this batch of grain to the death.

But in fact, other caravan representatives also thought the same way, and they also wanted to take this batch of grain at all costs.

"Okay, let's get started."

Fang Yuan was very satisfied with everyone's expressions.

Judging from everyone's expressions, the bidding has been more than half successful.

After the voice fell, there was the sound of bidding immediately on the scene.

"thirty!"

"forty!"

"Fifty!"

"eighty!"

The crowd kept bidding like crazy.

The price is constantly raised in their mouths as if they don't want money.

Fang Yuan sat on the ring, looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction, and sipped tea leisurely.

On the side, Lu Xia and Lu Chuchu both blushed with excitement and clenched their fists nervously.

The higher the price of grain in Wuling County, the more they will get, and the happier the people will live.

"one hundred!"

"One hundred and three!"

"Two hundred and three!"

"Three hundred and three!"

Prices are getting higher and higher.

The on-site caravan representatives were all red-eyed.

When raising the price, stare at the other party fiercely, as if warning.

But in the face of huge interests, no one took this warning seriously.

There were also those who were calm and did not bid.

Li Shimin has never made an offer so far.

He was waiting for the killing blow, ready to make an offer at the last minute.

Anyway, this batch of food must have been taken by himself, and other people are not worthy of competing with the royal family.

However, as the bidding prices soared again and again, Li Shimin's confident face slowly sank.

These caravans are really rich, and my internal treasury is not as good as them. Go back and investigate the origin of this caravan.

In Li Shimin's view, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are lowly. Too much wealth will affect the stability of society, and they cannot be allowed to sit big.

"Five hundred and six!"

"Seven hundred and six!"

"one thousand!"

The price eventually rose to a thousand.

After reaching [-], the atmosphere on the scene changed significantly.

It's no longer the mindless bidding like just now, but some people start to give up.

One thousand stones, if transported to Chang'an City to sell, you can earn one thousand dollars per stone, but the journey is far away, and manpower and horsepower are also a lot of money.

In addition, loss, price changes, bandits on the way, caravan liquidity, etc. must also be considered. Some caravans feel that it is not worthwhile and have already given up.

There were only three caravans competing on the spot.

Li Shimin's face became more and more ugly, and his eyes turned green.

The higher the bid, the higher his cost and the more he will lose.

Unlike other caravans, he can sell it at a high price after buying it back.

He bought it back to lower the price of food in the market, to save the hungry people, and to resolve his own crimes.

The higher the unit price, the more he will lose, and naturally the more heartbroken he will be.

"One thousand and six!"

In the end, under the roar of the Shengyun caravan, the other two caravans finally stopped competing.

Everyone sighed and looked at the representatives of the Shengyun caravan with envious eyes.

The representatives of the Shengyun Caravan exhaled heavily and wiped off their sweat.

One thousand and six? !
Fang Yuan excitedly jumped up from the stool.

Sixteen thousand stones per stone, one million stones, how much is this? !
Just as Fang Yuan was about to announce that the Sheng Yun Caravan had successfully bid, another offer was suddenly made on the spot.

"One thousand and seven!"

Everyone looked around, and saw Li Shimin raised his hand with a dark face.

"One thousand and seven?"

"Is there any more than seventeen, is there?"

Fang Yuan was overjoyed and shouted loudly.

The Shengyun caravan who were the last to bid just now opened their mouths, but in the end they didn't bid. They gave Li Shimin a hard look and snorted coldly.

"it is good!"

"One thousand seventeen per stone!"

"Congratulations to Boss Li Daye Li, let us congratulate him with the warmest applause for buying this grain!"

Fang Yuan applauded vigorously, announcing that Li Shimin's bid was successful.

I didn't expect, I didn't expect Li Daye to have such strength.

Fortunately, he didn't drive the other party away too much just now, otherwise he would have disappeared such a rich man.

In the crowd, facing the extremely warm applause, Li Shimin's face froze, not happy at all, but bursts of heartache.

This time, I may not have enough money in my internal treasury, so I have to borrow part of it from the national treasury.

The only thing that can make me feel relieved is that the problem of guilt edict has almost been solved.
