Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Secondly, those grain merchants in Xianyang will definitely not tolerate it if they learn that Daqin Grain Bank sells cheap grain.

Therefore, in order to allow these grains to be truly used in the hands of the lower-level officials, the method of purchasing food stamps in limited quantities was introduced.

The food that each person can buy is calculated according to the amount of three meals a day for the whole family.

If there is no food stamp, no matter how high the price you pay, it is impossible to buy a single potato.

In this way, it can also prevent those grain merchants from taking the opportunity to secretly send people to buy potatoes in large quantities, and then resell them at a higher price.

At the same time, many grain merchants in Daqin also heard the news.

"Damn it, His Majesty took our money and sold low-priced grain in the name of Daqin. Isn't this a blow to our business?"

"It's finally time to sell these grains, and His Majesty actually played such a trick on us?"

"I have hoarded so much food, if I can't sell it as soon as possible, the loss will be too great!"

……

Many grain merchants gathered together again, this time for the Daqin grain business.

Undoubtedly, the opening of Daqin Grain Bank was a fatal blow to them.

"Don't worry, we haven't reached the point of no return yet."

As the leader of the grain merchants, Chu Qiu was relatively calm.

He never expected that Ying Zheng would help them with their affairs after receiving the money.

Just kidding, they are just a group of small businessmen. With such a small amount of money, if even the emperor of Daqin can command, wouldn't it be too whimsical?
However, Chu Qiu didn't expect that Ying Zheng would fight them openly.

But he was actually not in a hurry, because the amount of food that Ying Zheng could bring out was definitely not comparable to them.

"If my guess is correct, His Majesty must have taken out the grain in the treasury and sold it."

"This may solve the urgent need, but it's obviously not a long-term solution. I don't believe that the food in the Qin State treasury can meet the needs of so many heads of state for the winter!"

"This is clearly Yingzheng's method to force us to admit defeat. It is a deliberate way to let us lower the price on our own initiative!"

Chu Qiu's eyes flickered, with an expression that I had already seen through everything.

"It turns out that's the case, let me just say, where did His Majesty get so much food!"

"Hahaha, more than [-]% of Daqin's grain harvest this year is in our hands. What is His Majesty's grain!"

"That's right, and it's obviously impossible to use all the food in the treasury, otherwise, in case of a natural or man-made disaster, Daqin will suffer even greater losses!"

Seeing that everyone understood, Chu Qiu also smiled lightly.

"It's good for everyone to know. What we have to do now is to continue to maintain the price of food and consume it with His Majesty. I don't believe that he can consume more energy than us!"

In fact, there is no need for Chu Qiu to say, there is only one way for them to go now.

In order to control the grain market, they invested an unknown amount of money in it.

Once they sell at a reduced price, the losses they will face are an astronomical figure, which they obviously cannot afford.

It's about their wealth and lives, and there is no other way to go except to continue to challenge Ying Zheng!

"Shopkeeper, something happened!"

However, just when everyone had just finished discussing, suddenly a young man hurried in from outside.

"Who let you in? What are you doing in such a panic? Don't you know we have something important to do?"

Seeing the boy barge in, Chu Qiu immediately scolded him.

"Shopkeeper, something really big happened, it's the matter of Daqin Liangxing."

"Daqin grain business?"

Hearing these four words, everyone's eyelids jumped.

"What the hell happened?"

Chu Qiu also put away the contempt just now, and asked with a serious face.

"The shopkeeper, there is a problem with the grain sold by Daqin Grain Bank. Didn't you tell us to buy some grain secretly before, and then we followed your instructions, and bought today's grain with the exchanged grain coupons!"

As he said that, the boy took out a cloth bag, opened it, and took out a rough ball from inside.

"what is this?"

Chu Qiu frowned and asked with some doubts.

"Shopkeeper, this is the grain sold by Daqin Grain Store. It's called potatoes. Not only is the price very cheap, but it's also said that you're very hungry. Such a potato is enough for an ordinary person's meal!"

"Potato?"

Hearing this name, Chu Qiu's face twitched again.

This name is actually not very unfamiliar to him, because in the restaurant Wang Jian opened, there are dishes related to potatoes for sale.

However, this was the first time Chu Qiu had seen raw potatoes, so he naturally didn't know them.

"Where did these potatoes come from? Any news?"

The moment he saw the potatoes, he panicked.

The reason they had the confidence to fight Ying Zheng before was because they thought that Ying Zheng was selling grain from the state treasury.

But the appearance of potatoes disrupted his plan at once.

Because they didn't know what the potatoes were, how much they produced, and how many did Ying Zheng have?
Therefore, Chu Qiu's first thought now is to see if he can find a way to find the source of this potato, and then cut it off at a high price.

"Boss, the caravan of the Daqin Grain Company was escorted by Meng Shangqing himself, how can the villain find out the news!"

"Meng Yi!"

Chu Qiu clenched his fists secretly, looking at the potato in front of him, he suddenly burst into anger.

He had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't expect that Ying Zheng would be able to replace the grain of corn.

He doesn't know the yield of the potatoes, but he can roughly guess one or two based on the situation in the Daqin Restaurant opened by Wang Jian.

This potato can be said to be the signature dish of Daqin Restaurant, because there are many ways to make it.

What potato shreds, potato cubes, mashed potatoes, big plate chicken...

Moreover, the price of potato dishes is very low, and the quantity is also plentiful.

From this point, it can be seen that this potato is definitely much cheaper than ordinary grain.

"Chu Gong, what should we do now? Your Majesty also introduced the limited purchase of food stamps, I'm afraid it's just to stop us from buying potatoes by force!"
