Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

The resettlement fee of ten guan qian per household was paid by Chen Yingshi from Tongli Bank by way of tax discount.Of course, all of them are banknotes, which do not hinder circulation.
At this time, the average population of a household is four.In fact, there are more than 100 million households in Guanzhong, and 33 households are planned to be relocated.
Of course, all major Guanzhong noble groups have shady households, and there are quite a few of them.Take Jingzhao Webster as an example. Webster has more than 8000 private households and more than [-] servants.
Yu Huaji's method is actually not a method.It's just drinking doves to quench thirst. If the big families can pool 20 households, they can get [-] yuan from the court.The shady households of the great clans carried food on the road, so they didn't have to starve to death.
……
Since the food famine, the grain merchants in Chang'an have cut off the food supply.It all relies on long-term unwinding to sell grain.
On June 27th, more than 60 grain stores popped up in Chang'an city at one time.
These grain stores have put up their lists to sell grain.
"Sixty bucks a bucket of wheat!"
"Eighty dollars for a bucket of rice!"
"75 bucks a bucket!"
"Never limit!"
Soon there were long queues at the gates of these grain stores.
Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying dressed up as ordinary people and followed in the crowd.
At the beginning, because the price of the grain market was slightly lower than the price sold in the Changping warehouse, people rushed to buy it.
Some of them bought one stone, and some pushed deer carts and bought three or four stones.
But there are more people who are able to act and wear brand-new clothes. They buy more grain, with more than a dozen shi and less.
In front of Li Jiancheng was a boy and a girl.They didn't look very old, both of them were sallow and thin, and they stammered in front of the grain shop assistant, "Can you give me a catty of chestnuts!"
The guy said, "Five big bucks!"
The young man cried and said, "We have no money!"
The guy had a hard face: "Get out of the way if you don't have any money, go back and get the money!"
The girl cried with a sad face, "Our family has no money either!"
Although this food war can make Chen Ying a fortune, it is ordinary people who are suffering.Thanks to Chen Ying who opened too many workshops in Chang'an City, and the workshops built by the imperial court, the common people can do some odd jobs during the slack season.Earn three to five dollars a year.
Otherwise, even the price of [-] qian per bucket of rice would not be affordable by ordinary people.
Chen Ying took out a piece of money from his pocket, even the smallest denomination was consistent money.
"Thank you...my lord for rewarding me, little... I will come back after buying a catty of rice, sister, you kowtow to benefactor again!"
Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "When will this kind of situation end?"
Chen Ying said with a faint smile: "Hurry up!"
Food prices have risen rapidly, but they have also fallen even faster.
From the highest peak, it is ninety yuan for a bucket of rice, which is almost one price a day.
It took only four days to drop from ninety to fifty.
The grain merchants in Guanzhong have been watching, hoping that the government's grain can be sold.
It's just that they are disappointed, the food in the government seems to have no end.
Grain prices are falling rapidly, and Guanzhong grain merchants have no money to empty the grain market, so they can only watch helplessly as the common people buy a large amount of grain at the price of [-] yuan a bucket.
On the first day of July alone, Chang'an official warehouses and grain stores in the city sold no less than 20 shi of grain.
On the second day of July, grain prices continued to fall for five consecutive days. This time, the drop was relatively large, and it was directly reduced by another [-] yuan on the original basis.
Thirty dollars per bucket!
This also means that the original value of more than four million grains in the hands of the Guanzhong Grain Merchant Group has shrunk by two-thirds in just five days.
Qian Changgeng couldn't stand him anymore.
He was originally the big shopkeeper of Yuanshi's business, responsible for the grain and farm management.In recent years, he himself is also a rich man with tens of millions of wealth.
He originally wanted to unite the major families in Guanzhong to short the grain market.He can also make a lot of money from it. He pledged his house and land as a mortgage to obtain a loan of 1 guan, plus his own more than [-] guan, making a total of [-] guan. At that time, he bought [-] shi of grain privately, planning to make a fortune.
However, in just a few days, his ten-thousand-guan family wealth was only left with less than four thousand guan.
The loss was heavy and nothing was returned.
Qian Changgeng couldn't take it anymore, the grain market collapsed, and with Yuanshi's mean temper, he must be responsible for the blame.
Thinking of this, Qian Changgeng immediately poisoned himself.
None of the 37 members of the family survived, and all died of poisoning.
Qian Changgeng is not the only case of accident, not even the first one.
With the collapse of food prices, more and more well-dressed, fat-headed businessmen are either hanging themselves, wiping their necks, hitting walls, or jumping off buildings.
Following the news, Li Xiuning said with some unbearable heart: "It's miserable...it's too miserable!"
While doing the calculations, Chen Ying said with a smile: "It's better to cry as a family than all the way, and what's more, it's not me who killed them, but their greed!"
PS: These two days of genesis are limited to free, so there is only one chapter per day. After the limited free is over, let’s make a small explosion, and the third update will be [-]!
Chapter 19 Treating animals in their own way
Chapter 19 Treating animals in their own way
Li Xiuning was also speechless.
The Guanzhong grain merchants could have stopped. Even if they sold the grain at the price of [-] yuan per bucket of grain, although they would have lost costs, they would not have lost more.
However, they were reluctant to test Chen Yinghe's bottom line.As Xie Hui's fleet arrived at the Luokou Warehouse, more than 500 million shi of grain was recruited to transport [-] civilians around Luoyang, and the Luokou Warehouse, which was already about to bottom out, was filled in an instant.
Naturally, the fleet couldn't enter Guanzhong, but the grain piled up in Xin'an, Mianchi, and Luoyang City had already piled up into hills.
It has long been heard that grain prices in Guanzhong are inflated. Some people in Hedong and Hebei who want to take advantage of the opportunity have also used their own channels to smuggle grain to Guanzhong. In fact, even if the autumn harvest is next year, there will be no more worries about famine in Guanzhong. .
In fact, Li Xiuning also hated these conscientious grain merchants, because these grain merchants made troubles and corroded the foundation of the Tang court.
Of course, this time Chen Ying made a lot of money, but in fact Chen Ying's profit was not a large proportion. Excluding the loss of travel, storage and transportation, in fact, the price difference he earned per stone of grain was less than ten cents.But it can't stand the amount of food, there are more than 1000 million shi of grain, which is as many as one million guan.
