This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 40
That night, Cui Hao learned that Li Chengqian had invited all local merchants from Jingyang to his house.

He even knew that Huang Song and the others left early, and Yang Lin and the others stayed for a long time.

For such news, it is actually very difficult to hide it from him in Jingyang.

Of course, Li Chengqian didn't want to hide it at all, which is also the main factor.

After hearing the news, Cui Hao was thinking about what Li Chengqian wanted to do. Unfortunately, although he was born in the Cui family and had read many books of sages, he really didn't know much about merchants.

As for the fact that he was able to suppress Yang Lin and others to the point of misery, to be honest, it had nothing to do with his ability to do business.

His fists are big enough to deal with Yang Lin and the others!
No tricks, no hard work, and then he just won, that's all.

But since learning that Li Chengqian invited Yang Lin and the others last night, Cui Hao was very disturbed.

Without him, it's just a little worry about the uncontrollable future.

"Master (to mention here, the name of Master should have originated in Song Dynasty, and Tang should be called A Lang. For the sake of fluent writing and comfortable reading, we will call him Master.) There is news." Just when Cui Hao was feeling uneasy , an old servant came in.

When Cui Hao heard this, he immediately asked, "Tell me, what exactly do they want to do?"

"Early this morning, Yang, Wang, and Li's families all arranged a large number of people to buy food in our store. Although we limited the amount of food purchased by each person, there were a lot of them. Less." The old servant said hurriedly, he went out early in the morning to inquire about the news.

Hearing what the old servant said, Cui Hao immediately thought of the cause and effect.

Yes, he got it!I really get it...

"Do you want to use this method to collect food?" After finishing speaking, he sneered.

But you also have to admit that this method really works.

As long as there are many people, it is really possible for Li Chengqian to gather the food that Li Chengqian needs in a few days.

And at this moment, the shopkeeper of the Cui family's grain store trotted in hastily: "It's not good, the Yang family, the Li family, and the Wang family have all sent people to our store to buy grain."

As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper said hurriedly.

"I know all about it." Cui Hao said, "I underestimated our Highness, and thought of such a bad idea."

When he was done, he laughed to himself.

"Don't talk about whether it's a bad idea or not. The key is what should we do now? If we let them continue like this, within two days, we will be able to get the food we need!" the shopkeeper of the grain shop I'm so anxious, when is it, and I still have the heart to judge whether other people's attention is bad?

The point is, even if it's a bad idea, it can be done!

"No problem." Cui Hao said with a smile, "Our Highness the Crown Prince is still young after all. He doesn't know the sufferings of the world, let alone the dangers of business.

"Don't talk about elegance, just say, what should we do now! People have made moves, so we have to find a way to solve it!" The shopkeeper of the grain shop was speechless.

Can we stop bragging?Let's settle the business first, and I'll take it easy with you!

"What should we do?" Cui Hao laughed suddenly, and said, "This matter is not easy to handle? Since he wants to use this method to obtain food, shouldn't we let His Royal Highness understand the dangers of the world?"

"The plan will be released?" Hearing what Cui Hao said, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up. Is this a move?

Cui Hao smiled and said: "After you return to the grain shop, immediately put up a notice that from today onwards, the daily purchase of grain will be reduced again. No matter who sets the quota, I want to see how many people he can find to help him." Buy food."

"If you do this, those ordinary people won't make a scene? Even if they don't make a scene, how will brother Mingyuan explain it?" After hearing Cui Hao's words, the manager of the grain shop shook his head.

This is indeed a good way, no matter it is the Yang family, Li family or Wang family, because of the famine in the past few years, they have not had much food, that is, they can barely fool their own family.

Even if there is some harvest this year, the good weather this year is only compared to the famines of previous years. Strictly speaking, this year is really not a good harvest year.

And those people in their family, who doesn't want to eat?
Selling food in a fixed amount, who doesn't want to store some for their own family first, after all, this is a life-saving thing, how can I put it, if there is no overnight food at home, it is not good to dream!

But the question is, if this is done, the common people will not be able to make trouble?
They have been starved of food for several years, and have just started to improve, but they can't buy food even with coppers. Don't they feel uneasy?

Cui Hao said: "It's okay, when you post the notice, someone will definitely ask you why you did this, so you tell them that there are unscrupulous businessmen who are secretly stockpiling grain and want to take our grain from Jingyang to other places.

In order to ensure that the common people in Jingyang have enough food to survive this severe winter, our gentry would rather lose money than leave the food in Jingyang! "

Cui Hao was very proud when he said this.

This is really like what Li Chengqian said, it is an idea that kills multiple birds with one stone. For a moment, he wanted to praise his quick wit.

As soon as the shopkeeper of the grain shop heard this, his initial stupefied attitude immediately turned into ecstasy.

The benefits of doing this are too many for their gentry.

How did they know that all this was just a trick set by Li Chengqian for them, and they danced so simply that they even thought it was their own quick wit.

Of course, if it wasn't for Li Chengqian's backhand, this move would have been really effective. It happened to hit the snake seven inches, hitting Li Chengqian's life gate.

After all, even if Li Chengqian tried his best to raise all the food, when he pulled the food out, the people in Jingyang would drown him with their saliva.

Even if he can't drown, it can prove from the side that what the Cui family said before is true.

At that time, the Cui family's prestige in Jingyang will definitely reach another level.

Maybe at that time, with this reputation, we can really create another Jingyang Cui family!
……

The words are divided into two parts, when the Cui family is complacent.

The Yang, Li, and Wang families are frantically snapping up furs in Chang'an City and surrounding cities that can be reached within half a day.

Although the three of them are down and out, how can I say something?The emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and after all, they were the largest group of merchants in Jingyang in the past. Even though life has been difficult these years, the foundation is still there.

Besides, who doesn't have a hundred and eighty tenants?

Over the years, the main reason why they have exhausted the food they accumulated in the past is to provide relief to the tenants.

Of course, don’t think that if they don’t collect rent in the year of catastrophe, they will be good people if they help the tenants instead.

They did this because they clearly knew what to invest in to maximize their profits while maintaining their reputation.

After all, the famine year will eventually pass, and after the famine year, they still need to have tenants to farm the land. Otherwise, would those fields be abandoned?

Of course, these grains are only borrowed, and they still have to be repaid!

However, even so, their past behaviors still had an effect at this time, whether they went to the surrounding cities to buy furs, or bought grain locally in Jingyang, or those who wanted to sew gloves for them later were all come out of these people.

One drink and one peck, maybe it is really God's will.
