Ji Han Grand Commander
Chapter 440 434 Income drops sharply
Chapter 440 434. Sharp drop in income
"Come!"
Even though he lost the fight, Du Chun shouted loudly to encourage himself.
"Jingle Bell……"
The coin rolled a few times on the table and fell sideways on the table. The two of them approached at the same time and saw that it was the front side. This meant that Mr. Trump had ordered first.
"Boss, give Master Du a jar of 'Lord of the Rings'."
Du Chun's eyes widened when he heard this, in disbelief. Jun Moxiao, just by listening to the name, you can tell that this wine with the same name as the wine shop is naturally the signature of the signature. A jar costs 88 taels, which is a homophone of "fa" (get rich). Except for a few people who ordered a jar to taste the taste, no one else ordered it after that. After all, a jar of wine costing nearly 100 taels of silver was still a bit beyond their psychological tolerance.
"Hiss... Young Master Huang is so generous!"
Some curious people knew Trump's son and called out his last name, letting Du Chun know that the man who was against him every day was named Huang.
"I……"
Du Chun gnashed his teeth in anger. This "Lord Grim" was already the most expensive wine in the winery, so he naturally lost. Du Chun couldn't help but get angry because someone took the lead and had an absolute advantage over him.
"You guys, come over here and give me some drinks!"
Du Chun waved his hand and pointed at his servants, asking them to come over and drink for him. After all, Mr. Huang had said that he could let others drink for him, so Du Chun naturally didn't want to get drunk because of showing off, which would be more embarrassing than losing.
Young Master Huang easily took out eighty-eight taels of silver and handed it to the shop owner, as if he was giving away a stone on the roadside, without even blinking an eye.
"continue!"
Du Chun watched his men drink up a jar of wine one bowl at a time, and demanded with gritted teeth to continue the game.
"Tails!"
Du Chun didn't believe it and continued to bet that the coin would face up with the tail side facing up. This time he actually bet right, the coin did face up with the tail side facing up.
Du Chun's eyes turned, thinking about how he should fight against Mr. Huang, so he slowly said:
"Boss, give Mr. Huang a jar of wine."
This wine is the signature wine that comes in a jar of one or two ounces. After all, it is also the name in the poem.
"cut……"
Du Chun heard a round of boos from the crowd, which obviously looked down on Du Chun's petty behavior. They bought the most expensive wine at the beginning, and you are now selling the cheapest among the high-end wines. You can tell which one is better at a glance.
"Haha, you mud-legged bastard, what do you know?"
Du Chun curled his lips in disdain. This was his tactic, and the other party would surely follow him slowly, which would also maximize his consumption of the other party's money. If the other party ran out of money, he would definitely win in the end.
"Don't laugh, Lord."
I didn't expect that Mr. Huang acted like he was rich and didn't even blink. It felt like playing poker, you played a three and the other party played a king bomb, which made people wonder if the other party was sick or had a good hand.
"Please come in, Mr. Du."
Mr. Huang smiled and pointed at the wine jar in front of Du Chun, and at the same time took out the money to pay the bill nonchalantly.
“…Give me some drink!”
Du Chun looked unhappy. The other party didn't seem to care about money. If he continued to drink, he wouldn't have to compete anymore. His men couldn't hold on any longer. The next round started. This time Du Chun learned his lesson.
"Shopkeeper, give Young Master Huang a jar of Jun Mo Xiao!"
Since you like to start with a big bomb, why don't I do it too?
Young Master Huang was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the other party to be so straightforward. He smiled and nodded, then waved his hand. Someone behind him led a dozen people to drink the jar of wine.
The two sides continued to fight like this for an hour, and Du Chun was already sweating profusely. He drank a few bowls of wine to moisten his throat and taste the wine that he usually couldn't afford to buy, but his pressure did not come from the alcohol, but from his wallet.
He has no money left.
The two fought for several hours, and now the thousands of taels of silver that Du Chun brought with him were almost used up, but the opponent was still as steady as a rock, which made Du Chun feel enormous pressure.
"Shopkeeper, serve Mr. Du a jar of Jun Mo Xiao."
Mr. Huang's tone didn't change at all, and his Sichuan accent made it seem as if he didn't know how much money he had spent.
"Oh, gentlemen, I'm very sorry. We have sold out our Lord Grim. Thank you for your kindness, but this wine is very troublesome to brew and the process is complicated. We don't have any more at the moment."
The two of them bought up all the stock in the store, one jar after another. As for the people drinking, Du Chun had already discovered that it was Mr. Huang's men who temporarily greeted passers-by on the street and brought them in to drink. Du Chun also followed suit and asked his men to do the same. The two of them didn't drink much, and all the drinks were taken advantage of by the passers-by today.
"It's okay, we can continue. Without Jun Moxiao, don't we still have the battlefield?"
Mr. Huang didn't care. These wines named after poems were very expensive, so he didn't care. But Du Chun couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only call the servants to whisper a few words.
After an incense stick of time, the servant came back and whispered a few words to Du Chun, and Du Chun finally felt relieved.
"Come if you want. The one who is afraid of you is not a human being!"
The two continued to play cards with wine until the end of the day.
Two days passed.
"Du Xi, this is the income from selling the beans we harvested recently."
Du Xi's elder brother Du Xiang came into the accounting office and handed Du Xi his own statistics of income and expenditure. Du Xi picked it up and looked at it, frowning.
“How come the income is nearly 50% less than last year?”
"No, the government is promoting intensive farming now. Although our fields have increased production several times, so have others. In addition, grain from Jingzhou and Jiaozhou continues to flow into the area, so the beans we grow are no longer valuable."
Du Xiang was silent. What Du Xiang said made sense. At this time last year, Jianye was still under the rule of the Great Wu. In less than three months, the Great Wu was gone, and Sun Quan was also dead. He and others didn't have much idea about the change of regime, but now that it has really affected them, they suddenly realized it.
"But the good news is that our cost of buying food has also decreased. Du Xi, do you think we should buy some food and store it as we did in the past, and then sell it at a high price when there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster?"
Hoarding goods to make a profit is a common tactic used by these noble families. Unfortunately, in today's Han Dynasty, their means of survival is becoming ineffective.
Because the government's granaries had far more grain than theirs, and at Feng Xi's request, they would also store grain in advance during the harvest, so that the price of grain could be adjusted if there were any accidents.
This is actually the same as the small peasant economy of small landlords in the future being crushed by capitalist industrialization and mass production. You work hard to produce some cloth and grain, but it is not as good as a combine harvester or a textile machine running for a day.
However, food, the most basic but least technologically demanding item, could no longer maintain its original price in the face of huge quantities, which weakened the landlords and forced them to find other ways to make a living.
