Old Cao believes me, I am really not Zhuge Wolong!

"Going to meet them?"

After hearing Zhuge Qiu's words, Zhao Yun was also stunned for a moment.

"This group of grain merchants has a close relationship with the family, and I am afraid that I will not be able to move them at this time."

I have tried it before, but it has no effect at all.

In a word, people do not sell, but sell expensive.

Unless you rob them directly, but this will have serious knock-on consequences.

"Maybe we have to try it too, far water can't quench near thirst, and besides, the situation of the imperial court, we all have a number in our hearts."

Zhuge Qiu frowned, of course he knew the difficulty, but no, then it had to work.

This is the disadvantage of concentrating resources too much in one group.

"But sir, what if you leave, and these people secretly guide them to make trouble?"

Zhao Yun also knew that it was only possible to let Zhuge Qiu go.

"As long as you carry the grain as I say, the people will be at ease, and they will not make trouble."

It was precisely like this, so Zhuge Qiu knew very well that he had to seize the opportunity of those ten days.

In the end, Zhuge Qiu also took advantage of the night to leave.

The closest to Jingzhou is Yuzhou, adjacent to Nanyang County, and the south of Yuzhou is also close to Jiangxia County.

If Yuzhou has enough grain and grass transportation, it can solve the urgent need.

Jingzhou's local Changsha County, Guiyang County and other counties are enough to cooperate with the transfer.

But to Changsha, the grain merchants of Guiyang's county must first send grain to Yuzhou.

If they can break the monopoly in Jingzhou, if their grain does not want to be smashed in their hands, they can only sell it.

When Zhuge Qiu arrived in Yuzhou, it was already two days later, and it could be said that he was almost rushing overnight.

"Let Yuzhou Mu come to see me."

After Zhuge Qiu arrived in Yuzhou, he directly took out Cao Cao's token.

At this time, he will definitely not meet the grain merchant in private, and the background should still be taken out.

Liu Bei had also been a pastor of Yuzhou before, so many people called him Liu Yuzhou.

However, since Liu Bei, Cao Cao has used his own people to govern Yuzhou.

"Yuzhou Mu Lijie, I have seen sir."

The person who came was a middle-aged man with a big belly and a smile and respectful opening.

"Lord Li is more polite, in fact, my intention this time, I think you already know, now that Jingzhou is affected, the only one who can solve this dilemma is Yuzhou."

Zhuge Qiu didn't have any twists and turns, the most important thing at this time was time, so he wanted to be direct.

"The meaning of the lord is known, before General Zilong came, I also understood, but the difficulties of Yuzhou, I also ask for your understanding."

Of course, Li Jie knew what Zhuge Qiu meant, so he was also very embarrassed to speak.

"Which grain merchants are grain and grass materials concentrated in today?"

Zhuge Qiu continued to ask.

"Today, Yuzhou's grain is mainly concentrated in the hands of the four major grain merchants of the Chen family, the Wang family, the Qian family, and the Wu family."

"They refuse to reduce the price, and the grain in my treasury, except for the one that was called by the King of Wei before, is simply not enough to balance the price of grain."

Li Jie sighed, what happened to him in ordinary times, the government wanted to give porridge for disaster relief.

However, this time Yuzhou was not a disaster-stricken area, but it caused a rush to buy grain, so the government could only release official warehouses and change the amount of circulation, thereby hitting grain prices.

But this time, the outflow of official food had no effect at all.

"It seems that this grain merchant newspaper group is not so simple."

Zhuge Qiu said after knowing the situation in Yuzhou.

"You sort out the information of the four of them, and at the same time ask them to meet tomorrow."

"I have something to talk to them, no one can be absent, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind."

Zhuge Qiu deliberately added, and his tone became cold.

"Yes, sir." Li Jie nodded quickly.

Zhuge Qiu is Cao Cao's son-in-law and came with the token again, he was responsible for this disaster relief, of course he did not dare to refuse.

Besides, if Zhuge Qiu can really solve it, then the price of grain in Yuzhou will go down, and he will not have to worry about the turmoil in Yuzhou.

You must know that during this time, he was also under great pressure, and he was afraid that the Yuzhou riot would be caused by food prices.

Zhuge Qiu lived directly in the mansion of the Taishou Mansion.

In the evening, Zhuge Qiu received information about the background relationship of the four major grain merchants.

What caught Zhuge Qiu's attention the most was the Chen family, and this Chen family was actually related to Chen Lin.

This Chen family is also from the Chen family in Jizhou, but they are not the main lineage, and they are also related to the Chen family like the Chen Lin family.

It is precisely because of this, so the relationship between the two of them is much closer.

Zhuge Qiu also frowned when he saw this.

If that's the case, then things would definitely be tricky today.

In other words, this Chen family is likely to deliberately retaliate because of Chen Lin's affairs.

But what made Zhuge Qiu strange was that this Qian family and the Wu family, the two of them.

According to the information, the two of them and the Chen family have always been at odds.

But this time, the two of them, this time they were wearing a pair of pants with the Chen family.

If it is just a benefit, Zhuge Qiu is not incomprehensible, but there is one thing recorded in this information.

That is, at the beginning, the Qian family and the Wu family came against the Chen family.

The two of them fought against the Chen family by lowering the price.

But in just one day, they changed their attitude and pulled the price back.

Originally, he thought it might be because of the price that made the two of them unbearable.

After all, it will cause people to rush to buy, but his intuition tells him that all this is not so simple.

Perhaps this will be a breakthrough, and Zhuge Qiu will rest after reading the information.

The next day arrived quickly, and the four major grain merchants had already arrived early in the morning.

Four middle-aged men with fat heads and big ears and big belly walked in.

"I've seen Mr. Zhuge ."

The four of them saluted in unison.

"No need to be polite, I think you know my intentions."

"I want grain, and I need you to supply Jingzhou with at least a month's worth of grain."

Zhuge Qiu stretched out his finger and said.

"One month's grain, Mr. Zhuge you are too embarrassed for us, but since it is Mr. Zhuge who speaks, we will naturally not refuse for the sake of the people of Jingzhou."

"It's just that Mr. also knows that grain is precious now, and the price of it is rising rapidly, and with the strength of the four of us, it can barely be barely achieved in a month, but this price, what does Mr. intend?" At this time, one person spoke.

"Price, give at the original price." Zhuge Qiu glanced at the man and said.

"What?"

"Sir, you're not joking, where are you buying grain, you are simply going to grab food,"

the four of them quickly opened their mouths and looked at Zhuge Qiu and said coldly.

"Sir, our Chen family knows that you are domineering, but robbing grain by force is a big taboo."
