My wife is Wu Zetian

Chapter 617 Stretch the bold and starve the timid to death!
Cui Yuqing was also a little surprised. He already knew about the household affairs.

One million stones of grain and grass is indeed a bit astonishing. Let alone your own grain shop, even the five major grain shops may not be able to get it together. Now someone dares to take on this job.

It is true that the ignorant are fearless. You must know that receiving the order from the Ministry of Revenue means hanging your head on your waist.

If you fail to complete the task, you will lose your head.

"Proprietor, what should we do next?"

After looking at Cui Yuqing, Liu Feng also hurriedly asked.

"This matter is not simple. I want to see how capable they are. Aren't they going to harvest food?
You should spread the word now and tell other grain merchants that if any of them dares to sell grain, they are going against my Cui family. "

Cui Yuqing thought for a while and then directly expressed his thoughts.

"Proprietor, there may be something wrong with doing this!"

After hearing Cui Yuqing's words, Liu Feng also frowned and said to the other party.

"What's wrong?"

Cui Yuqing was also stunned, wondering what else Liu Feng wanted to say.

"Proprietor, we have absolutely no control over whether the food is sold or not. Even if you say something, those merchants won't care as long as the price is right."

Liu Feng looked at Cui Yuqing's face and hesitated for a moment before speaking out his thoughts.

"Then what do you think we should do? Although it is not that easy to collect these 100 million stones of food, we still have to be prepared just in case. Otherwise, how can we make money?"

After looking at Liu Feng, Cui Yuqing also nodded.

The other party actually has some ability, and he was able to say such things, but he was negligent.

“Proprietor, if you want the Ministry of Revenue to be unable to receive food, we have to take action in advance to control all the food in our own hands.

In this case, there will be no food in Chang'an. If they want to raise food and grass, they can only buy it from us. By then, we will not be able to get as much money as we want. "

Liu Feng smiled slightly. Now that he wanted to prevent the other party from receiving food, the only thing he could do was to take all the food in Chang'an into his own hands.

Only in this way can you do whatever you want and do whatever you want.

"You're right, let's do it!"

Cui Yuqing smiled slightly. This plan of the other party was a complete blow to the bottom of the pot.

If you really have all the food in your own hands, then you can control all the household affairs in your own hands.

Anyway, the imperial court is very wealthy, and the Cui family has made great efforts, so it is reasonable to give some money.

Besides, Li Yanran had stolen so much money before, so he had to find some compensation.

"But there's one more problem!"

Liu Feng saluted Cui Yuqing again.

"Say!"

"Now the price of food is destined to rise. If we really want to receive all the food in Chang'an, it may cost a lot of money.

My grain store only has a little working capital, and I'm afraid the proprietor will need some funding! "

Liu Feng directly stated his worries. Although this strategy could be used, it would require a large amount of funds.

There is too much food in Chang'an, and too much money is needed to get it.

He couldn't get this money out.

"What you said makes sense. How much will it cost?"

Cui Yuqing frowned. He had some liquidity now, but not much.

After all, he has been tricked by Li Yanran several times. Even if the Cui family can make money again, this time the blood speed cannot keep up with the consumption.

"It requires at least one hundred thousand guan."

"How much?"

Cui Yuqing's eyes almost shot out when he heard this number.

How can I steal so much money now? Even if I have it, it's all in my business, and I don't have that much liquidity at all.

Even if it were transferred from other places, it would be too late.

"Proprietor, one hundred thousand guan is based on the current market conditions. If we really hoard food on a large scale, this 20 guan may be just the tip of the iceberg. Maybe [-] guan is not enough."

Liu Feng also sighed. Although the current market price of grain is only more than ten yuan per dou, it is okay for you to buy one or two dou now.

If you want to buy so much at once, it is simply impossible to spend the money.

"You want so much?"

Cui Yuqing glanced at Liu Feng and felt helpless.

20 yuan was not enough, which really shocked him.

"Ah."

Liu Feng nodded and stopped talking.

"Then I'll go find a few other companies and ask them to pay for it together, so I won't use so much."

Cui Yuqing is also depressed. Now he only has tens of thousands of dollars in hand. It seems that he can only find a few other families with such money.

"Proprietor, the current situation is that whoever harvests more grain will earn more in the end. Do you really want to share it with others?"

Hearing that Cui Yuqing was looking for someone else to form a partnership, Liu Feng spoke again.

It is clear that this transaction is only for profit and not loss. In the end, whoever has more food will make more money.

If someone else charges you one stone of grain, you will receive one stone less of grain, and the money you make will be less.

"You're right. Don't let others know about this. I'll take care of the money. Just go ahead and acquire it."

The more Cui Yuqing looked at Liu Feng, the more he liked him.

Why should you share money with others when you can eat alone?Isn't this a pure and foolish act?
"Okay, then I'll make arrangements right away. The proprietor needs to be tight on the money."

Liu Feng saluted directly and then withdrew.

"Someone, call my brother and tell him it's urgent."

Cui Yuqing glanced outside and directly ordered people to find Cui Yuanjuan to discuss matters.

"What's wrong?" Cui Yuanjue dropped what he was doing when he heard the urgency and rushed over.

"Brother, we are going to make money."

"???"

Cui Yuqing was immediately confused by Cui Yuanjue. Looking at his brother, he was also full of questions.

"Yu Qing, what happened?"

After looking at his brother up and down, Cui Yuanjue also asked.

"Brother, food from Chang'an..."

Cui Yuqing hurriedly told all about the current food situation in Chang'an and the Ministry of Household's plan to collect 100 million stones of food and grass.

"Yu Qing, you are dancing on the edge of a knife. Now the war between Tang Dynasty and Tubo has become a foregone conclusion. You are making trouble with food. Aren't you afraid of His Majesty Long Yan's wrath?"

Hearing that his brother actually focused on food, or at this stall, do you really think that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was a vegetarian?
It would be easy to win this battle, but if Su Dingfang loses, no one knows what the emperor will do.

"Brother, don't be angry.

It's not like I'm the only one doing this, there are several others doing the same thing.

Besides, I didn’t really want to cut off the food and fodder on the front line, I just took the opportunity to make some money.

Don't worry, nothing will go wrong. "

Cui Yuqing looked at Cui Yuanjue's dark face and smiled slightly, his eyes filled with indifference.

As the saying goes, the law does not punish the public, and when the time comes, even if the emperor is really angry, only the grain merchants will be punished, and they will not be blamed.

"Now that you've thought about it, why did you ask me to come?"

Cui Yuanjue is really angry this time. You did such a big thing without telling me. It's strange that I can't be angry.

"Brother, I want to borrow some money from you."

Cui Yuqing had no choice. He really didn't have that much money at the moment, so he had no choice but to borrow money from his brother.

"???"

Cui Yuanjue's brows were already furrowed when he heard this.

He really doesn't know what the other party wants to borrow money for?

"Why are you borrowing money? How much do you want to borrow?"

"Brother, I discussed it with Liu Feng..."

Cui Yuqing's eyes were full of excitement and he talked about all the business opportunities here.

"If you need money, can you just transfer it from other places? Although Princess Lishan has cheated you a lot, the family's money won't be able to provide even this, right?"

Cui Yuanjue also felt depressed after hearing Cui Yuqing's words.

Could it be said that the Cui family has reached such a situation?
Can't even get out 20 or [-] yuan?

“What I mean is that the sale is not through the family, we do it ourselves.

This is a very profitable business, why should we share the profits with the family?

Besides, it takes time to transfer money from the family now. Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near! "

Cui Yuqing shook his head, this is the money delivered to the door, don't give it in vain.

"Yu Qing, what are you thinking? Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?

As the head of the Cui family in Chang'an, how could you have such an idea?
If someone finds out about it and goes to the clan elders, you will definitely be severely criticized. "

Cui Yuanjue was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that his brother would want to do private work by himself without telling the family?
Is this what a person who is the head of the household should say?

If you lose money as a co-author, it belongs to the family; if you make money, it belongs to you.

Your wishful thinking is really loud.

But are you doing this worthy of your family’s long-term support and training?

It really makes him a little shameless.

"Brother, when I see a way to make money, the first thing I think of is you. I didn't expect you to look at me like this."

Hearing what Cui Yuanjue said, Cui Yuqing couldn't help but frown.

He really didn't expect that his brother would react so violently, but in his opinion, these were nothing at all.

He was just making some money, so why did he rise to the level of the family?

It's really a bit of a fuss.

"You are now well-dressed and well-fed, living a worry-free life, so what do you need the money for? Could it be that the Cui family's support and the imperial court's salary cannot support you?"

Looking at his brother, Cui Yuanjue was speechless.

The salary from the court and the support from the family were enough for him to have enough food and clothing, so why would he do such a thing.

“Brother, a real man cannot live without money for a day.

There are nearly a hundred servants in my family alone, and about ten wives and concubines.

I don't think of any way to make money, but they all have to drink the northwest wind with me. "

Cui Yuqing shook his head, not everyone is like you.

With one wife, one son and one servant, these few people can naturally live a comfortable and comfortable life with the salary from the court and the support of the family.

I have a large family to support, hundreds of people. If I hadn't been running some businesses that my family didn't know about over the years, I would have been too poor to take the blame.

"Stop talking, I don't have the money, and even if I did, I wouldn't lend it to you.

Also, this matter is not a sure thing. I advise you to make it clear to your family.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will be bankrupt. "

Cui Yuanjuan glanced at his brother again, turned around and left.

"Brother."
