Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 199 Fluctuation
Su Youli didn't panic, but sighed, and said to Qiu Daming: "Don't worry, tell me what's going on first?"

Qiu Daming was sweating all over his face. Seeing Su Youli's indifference, he didn't feel the panic just now. He almost trotted all the way here. He couldn't figure it out. The last time it was his fault, why this time it happened again? In this way, it is useless to annoy yourself.

"It was fine until last night. It just so happened that someone in the village went out today and had money on hand, so he was willing to buy things. When it came to soybeans, someone took him to see them, saying that the price of soybeans would keep going up. If you don’t believe me, I saw that many people bought it, so I came back and said..."

"After speaking, everyone in the village found the door. I thought I shouldn't panic, so I said that the soybeans were not taken away anyway. There must be an explanation for the price outside. Taking ten thousand steps back, it's true. It’s such a high price, and we won’t let the big guys suffer, so it slowly dispersed, I deliberately found the one who came back to ask what happened, and he said he saw it with his own eyes.”

After finishing speaking, Qiu Daming shook his head secretly, with a puzzled expression on his face: "There is something strange here, why hasn't it changed before, but it changed as soon as we received it, and the person in our village is a bit stubborn, even if he said something like that , who would deliberately drag him to look at it, it’s not quite right.”

Su Youli chuckled, and nodded in appreciation: "It's rare for you to think so much, don't worry, don't panic when you go back, you will see the outcome in a few days."

that's it?
Qiu Daming still couldn't let it go, he hesitated and said: "If the price of soybeans is too high, wouldn't it be necessary to make up for it? Will it be a disadvantage? If this happened in the first year, can we continue to plant it in the future?"

To put it bluntly, he doesn't want the price to be too high. This is a good thing, and it's not good to let anyone lose money. If he can grow soybeans worth five cents a catty year after year, he doesn't know how many people he can help. That's good, the price is too fluctuating, after all, it makes people feel a little uneasy.

Zhang Liu patted him on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Who doesn't want to sell this thing at a high price, and a catty of meat is worth a hundred yuan, and someone has to buy it."

After finishing speaking, he burst out laughing. Although Qiu Daming didn't understand what was so funny about it, he did understand that the boss didn't panic at all, and it seemed... that he knew it would be like this.

After Qiu Daming left, Su Youli saw Ban Xia who was smiling but not smiling, and sighed, "You hit the mark!"

Ban Xia was thinking about the pickle garden with all her heart, and heard Su Youli say something like, "Huh?"

After hearing Su Youli finished speaking, she groaned and wanted to leave. Seeing Su Youli looking at him like that, she said a few more words: "Then it's as agreed."

Su Youli spread out his hands, "I'm a father who lives on errands!"

After speaking, I drove the carriage with Zhang Liu.

"Father, go out? I'm going too. I'm just about to go out and have a look at those jars outside. Also, I want to see if I can open a trial in the county first. I asked someone to inquire about it last time, and I want to go out and have a look."

Su Youli had nothing to do with her, Banxia Gulu climbed into the carriage, and when Bohe saw her, he also asked Banxia to take her out to buy something.

Zhang Liu drove the car, and Su Youli simply sat in front.

Mint and Banxia's murmurs were left in the car.

"Ban Xia, do you really want to buy a house outside? Don't you have a new house at home?"

"I'm thinking that it's not easy for my brother and Yuanchen to study outside, and it's troublesome to run often. It's better to have a place to stay outside, so that I can rest assured."

Mint nodded, and then said: "I just heard from Uncle Qiu that the soybeans sold outside are expensive, won't we lose money? What should we do now?"

Ban Xia is not worried about this, she knows herself, knows her enemy, and wins every battle. When she knew that Boss Pang had this idea, she had already figured out how to deal with it. He is not the only one who decides this market. Although he has a lot of soybeans , but they are all old goods, and I also have them in the warehouse. The soybeans that Lin Sa sent along with him at the beginning are still left at the other end. Not to mention here, he also knows to be on guard.

Not long after, I arrived in the town, and indeed there were discussions everywhere.

"The soybeans are also weird. They suddenly soared. This is not a big deal. Could it be that we can't even eat tofu?"

"It's also the Su family's success. You see, so many villages are suddenly allowed to grow soybeans, and now they are making ready money."

"You don't know about this, people can agree, with the price outside, how can people's workshops expect to make such a little money."

"Didn't you say that Ma'an Village has already collected it? Five cents a catty, so it seems that the people who lose money are all the people in Ma'an Village..."

Someone in the crowd yelled again, "What a loss, the soybeans are not taken away. There is a price outside, but there must be someone to buy them. If we want to sell them outside, who will sell so many soybeans to? The price has risen, which is evil." .”

Ban Xia slowly lowered the curtain, and the carriage passed by leisurely.

When they arrived in the county town, when Su Youli went to the teahouse, a waiter took them in.

It happened to be upstairs, Su Youli and Zhang Liu had already gone in, and the staff went to call Lin Sa.

Ban Xia looked at the carved railing, felt that the light was dim, turned her head and met a pair of smiling eyes.

Ban Xia was overjoyed, seemed to have forgotten what she was doing, and said without any concealment: "You are back!"

Di Yan became darker, and smiled brightly, revealing a row of white teeth. He was no longer as depressed as before, and teased: "I didn't get paid, so if I don't come back, could it be that I've been working as a helper in the workshop?"

Lin Sa, who was following Di Yan, was taken aback when he saw Di Yan laughing like this, and then laughed too. When he was cast aside by that look, he quickly shrank his neck, "I'll go and talk to uncle first."

"You came up with that idea?" Di Yan asked suddenly.

However, Ban Xia understood it and didn't deny it. For some reason, he was very relieved when he saw him: "Well, that Boss Pang wants to use the soybeans he has on hand to raise the price. It can be seen that he can't do what he wants."

Di Yan didn't speak, frowned, Ban Xia thought for a while, thought he didn't understand, this truth is actually not difficult to understand, in her previous life, there were often people like this, otherwise all kinds of garlic and ginger can be fried to a very good taste. high price.

So he explained: "Boss Pang thinks he controls the soybeans in the county, but he can't control us, so he wants to raise the price, let the workshop suffer, and then try to sell those soybeans to the workshop. It's really whimsical. There is no complete monopoly on soybeans, and it is not difficult to transfer them from other places. Besides, we have prepared and stocked them here. Think about it, if his old soybeans sell for eight cents, we just come out of the field. Selling five cents, who will others buy? If he does not negotiate the price and insists on it, how long can he last? Second, the soybeans are not salt or grain, and there is no hindrance if others don’t eat them for a day, even a year. He was whimsical there, but in the end it just turned into a joke."

Di Yan's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Since this is the case, the price of food is also being manipulated by others. Isn't it possible to find a solution?"

When it comes to food prices, Ban Xia thinks about the way Qiu Daming was forced to have nowhere to go. The low price of grain hurts the farmers, and the farmers suffer. In the end, it is the farmers who suffer. There is a regular position."

"Chang Pingcang?" Apparently Di Yan had never heard of it.

Could it be... no?Ban Xia coughed and covered it up a bit, she knew that the so-called Changping Warehouse was just a means of regulation at the imperial court level, which was more conducive to stability.

"It's almost the same as our soybeans."

Di Yan suddenly said: "You mean, if the price of grain is too high, we will open warehouses to release grain so that the people will not go hungry and riot?"

"Well, for example, if the price of grain is too low now, you can buy it at a guaranteed price, store it in the warehouse, and release it when the price of grain is high. In this way, at least it will not cause major turmoil, and the people will not be in a bad year. It's all sad." Ban Xia said.

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a tightness in my shoulders, and then a little pain.

She had obviously grown up, why was she barely able to reach her shoulders in front of Di Yan, and now she felt that she was caught by two pliers and couldn't move, so she could only cough and cough twice.

Only then did Di Yan come to his senses, the embarrassment on his face flashed away, seeing Ban Xia's eyelashes flickering like a small fan, his heart suddenly felt itchy.

Just try to pretend to be natural and authentic: "I didn't expect you to think of these things, by the way, what are you doing here?"

After finishing speaking, he regretted secretly, didn't he say that Soybean came from, and asked such a question.

He is obviously used to not being surprised when things change, but Di Yan can't remember why there are always such strange mood swings and assumptions.

Unexpectedly, Ban Xia said: "I want to come out and have a look at things like jars. If it is suitable, I will open a pickle garden, as well as the rice noodles, yuba and snail noodles in the workshop, which are a bit scattered. If I really can have one In terms of places, I want to put them all in one place, and it will be fine in the future.”

Suddenly she said what was in her heart, and seeing Di Yan's half-smile, she felt a little hairy in her heart, thinking of the losses she suffered at his hands back then, she clenched her fists and shook: "Don't you What a crooked idea!"

Di Yan's smile was wider. If it wasn't for her trust, how could she blurt out, and said, "If I made up my mind, I'd wait until today. That's not where I made up my mind."

Ban Xia was speechless to refute.

A shortness of breath.

Seeing her deflated, Di Yan seemed to be in a better mood: "Okay, I'm at a disadvantage, let's go and see with you, anyway, there are Boss Lin and your father on the soybean side."

Just as they were talking, Lin Sa and Su Youli had already come out.

It was decided immediately that Di Yan and Ban Xia would go to see the place, and Su Youli and Zhang Liu would deal with the soybean matter together with Lin Sa.

Banxia was about to ask Mint to come with her, but Mint shook her head, blinking her eyes a little faster, "I...I'll go outside and have a look."
