The imperial court didn't even use up the grain stored in Taicang, so it didn't wantonly collect grain from the people.Even if these individual "profiteers" hoard wantonly, the increase in food prices will be limited.

Although everyone knew that the imperial court was at war, after all, they were in the frontier fortress and did not fight in.In addition, this year's harvest is not bad, and there have been no major natural disasters or rebellions, so that until now, even the price of grain in Guanzhong has only risen to more than two taels.

Based on this calculation, if the grain is sold now, after deducting the cost of going back and forth, such as building a new granary, transportation, etc., there is basically no profit.

So, why is Xue Pan not annoyed.

Seeing that Jia Qing's uncle Xue Pan had said that, the grain store bosses all looked anxious.

They knew that Jia Qing had a large amount of food in his hands, and the Jia family was not in this business. If the whole thing was thrown to them at that time, wouldn't they just keep it in their hands?

Shen Congcheng, on the other hand, was not in the food business, but was also the partner who was persuaded by Jia Qing to contribute to the stockpiling of food.

Seeing that Jia Qing didn't look worried at all, he said, "I wonder what brother Jia's plan is? There are a lot of food in our hands now...

If the imperial court really negotiates a peace, it is conceivable that the price of food in Dachu will fall back soon, and it may fall back to the level we purchased before.If so, we are really wasting our time. "

"Wonderful, why didn't I think that if there were no more wars, those profiteers who stockpiled grain with us would be so frightened that they would start selling grain right away. When the price of grain drops, we will not lose money to death?

No, no.We have to sell the grain before them, and we can make some money...Old Chu, Lao Zhou, hehe, it's up to you to sell the grain..."

Xue Pan looked at those few grain merchants and said shamelessly.

Although several people did not dare to scold him, no one responded.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"What do you think?"

Jia Qing seemed to agree with Xue Pan's words, so he asked everyone.

"This..." Zhou Dafu of Zhouji Rice Shop said: "Although our family has a lot of rice and grain shops, since joining the second master's grain hoarding plan, we have also hoarded a lot of grain. At this time, we may not even be able to sell our own food..."

Zhou Dafu knew that the food in Jia Qing's hands was huge, and even if they were killed, they would not be able to swallow it.So I just hope that Jia Qing will not be as shameless and intimidating as Xue Pan.

Xue Pan and the others are not very afraid, but if Jia Qing overpowers others, they will have a headache.

At this time, Jia Qing smiled and said: "Since you can't sell all the food, you might as well sell all the food to me, wouldn't it be appropriate?"

"Are you crazy? Do you still want to buy food?" After half a year of cooperation, Xue Pan finally opened up a little "heart", and some of them regarded themselves as the future uncle.

He found that it seemed that this identity was indeed more awe-inspiring than his original identity...

Going out to hang out is also a lot of fun, and even those who used to call him Xue Da fool, both openly and secretly, have started to call him Uncle Xue instead.

Zhou Dafu and others suddenly hesitated.

They are all old and cunning profiteers. Hearing what Jia Qing said, he began to wonder if there would be something tricky in it.

But the fact that the court negotiated a peace is absolutely true, and Jia Qing can't fool them.

The point is, it is conceivable that once the court negotiates a peace, the price of grain will definitely drop immediately based on this year's harvest, and it may even drop even lower than last year. By then, it will really be a big loss!

It's not that they can't keep it stable, but that food can't be stored for a long time. If it gets moldy again, it will be paid to grandma's house.

After so many decades of hard work, you can't spend half of your family property on this business!

"Is what the second master said serious?"

"nature."

"I don't know what price the second master is going to buy..." Zhou Dafu asked tentatively.The rest of the people are also concerned, this is the most important thing.

Although they were all grain merchants who had a good relationship with Jia Qing and the Shen family in the past.But there are no fathers and sons in the business field, and no one will do anything to lose money.

"If you want to sell it, I definitely can't give it to you at the market price..."

"That's natural. We don't dare to let the second master suffer. Naturally, we must let the second master have room to make money."

Chow Tai Fook seems to be thinking of Jia Qing very much.

"You really want to buy it?" Xue Pan interrupted again.

Jia Qing signaled him not to be impatient, and continued to say to Zhou Dafu and others: "Well, let's take rice as an example, two taels of silver per stone."

"Second Master, are you serious?"

Zhou Dafu was surprised.Although the current price of rice in the capital is about [-] shi, that is the price that ordinary people buy for free.The price they charged at the hands of the grain dealers was less than this price.The point is, the price of grain will definitely drop in the future. All grain merchants are afraid that the grain will fall into their hands, and it will cost money to sell it by themselves...

It can be said that the price offered by Jia Qing is quite interesting.

They don't have to worry about losing money, after careful calculation, they can still make a fortune!

"Since that's the case, the villain has [-] shi of rice in the south of the Yangtze River and the capital, and I'll sell them all to the second master." Zhou Dafu tried to keep his tone down as much as possible, lest Jia Qing be scared off by the amount.

"can."

Jia Qing said in an extremely relaxed manner, no one could see what he was thinking.

If Chow Tai Fook can settle accounts, others can also settle accounts.Since Jia Qing had the confidence to eat the food they hoarded alone, he naturally had no reluctance.

I took a good deal of my own inventory, kept some for the survival of my own shop, and sold all the excess to Jia Qing at once to save trouble.

"Second Master, I also have [-] stones here."

"The villain has 12 stone here..."

......

Soon, the five people finished reporting, and there was a total of 42 shi.

"Okay, no problem."

A smile finally appeared on Jia Qing's face.

"Bring a pen and paper!"

Zhou Dafu and the others were startled, and then asked: "What does Second Master mean?"

Jia Qing said: "Of course it's writing IOUs? You know that I, like you, have spent all my money to buy food. How can I get out eight or nine million taels of silver at once.

But don't worry, I, Jia Qing, am the first-class general of the country, how can I not count my words.Since everyone hoarded food based on my advice, but now it has not achieved what they expected, I can't let everyone suffer, right?

After I sell all the grain in my hand, I will hand over the money to you as soon as I get the money, and I promise not to default on a single penny! "

"This...!" Zhou Dafu and others hesitated.

The Jia Mansion is powerful!Holding this IOU in his hand, it is not as reliable as white money, so he hesitated for a while.
