I'm a marquis in Datang

"If Xu Yinhe helps us, that would be the best."

"If he doesn't want to, then he will be an enemy."

A gleam flashed across Mai Hong's eyes, and he said, "I don't believe that our eight major merchants rely on their own financial resources. The mere people in Jiangyin County can have enough food to fight with us. We will make money as much as we buy. back."

Everyone nodded in unison.

After everyone listened to it, their hearts settled down.

Mai Hong waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go, and start buying food today."

The crowd dispersed in a hurry.

Everyone is busy.

Chapter 1438

another price increase

County government office, in the backyard.

Du Qi is still drinking tea and basking in the sun, and his life is quite comfortable.Now the entire Jiangyin County is under his control.Especially in Jiangyin County, there already existed Jinyiwei.Because Jin Yiwei can be mobilized, it is not difficult for Du Qi to take action.

The grain merchants headed by Mai Hong have already begun to purchase grain, but because of the sudden rise in grain prices, they have not taken any action for the time being.Just like this, Du Qi made adjustments again, and the food price increased again.

Today's food prices are on the rise.

In fact, Du Qi never went to notify them one by one.

Among the grain merchants, there are grain merchants affiliated to the county government, but they are relatively hidden and have never been known.Du Qi just ordered him to raise the price directly, and also said that there were merchants from Jinling County to buy grain.As soon as this news came out, the businessmen in the entire Jiangyin County were naturally on the lookout.

Everyone knows that rising food prices can make money, so they keep raising prices one by one.

The rise in prices has made the market priceless.

If your price is too low, I won't sell it.

So as soon as the news came out, the price of grain in Jiangyin County rose rapidly in a short period of time.The most important thing is that the government has not said anything, and even the grain merchants affiliated to the government are all increasing their prices, each of them is increasing rapidly, and they don't care about anything else.

When Liu Xi and the others came to buy grain again, they found that the price of grain had more than doubled.Seeing such a situation, they

Knowing that there is no longer time to delay, if they continue to delay, in the end, they may not be able to complete Jiang Yu's task, so one by one they began to buy food in large quantities.

Today's food prices are more than four or five times higher than before.

It is already extremely expensive.

When these grain merchants bought grain in large quantities, the grain merchants in the entire Jiangyin County sold grain on a large scale, and even some people had surplus grain, and they followed suit when they saw it.

After all, food is expensive right now.

Now I can sell it for money.

Therefore, a large amount of food would have been purchased by Liu Xi and others.

For four days in a row, the merchants brought by Mai Hong kept buying food.More and more grains are piled up in the granary they built.A large amount of money has already been used.

Especially on the last day, the price of food is already sky-high.The grain in the entire Jiangyin County has been sold out.Even the grain of many people was sold out.

All the food gathered in Mai Hong's hands.

On this day, in the courtyard.

Everyone gathered in Mai Hong's yard.

There was no worried expression on Mai Hong's old face, but a leisurely and carefree expression.He looked around at the people sitting in the hall, and said with a smile: "Everyone, as of today, all the food is in our hands. The next step is to make money

up.We sell the grain immediately, using today's grain price as the standard, and then double the grain price to sell.Those who are willing to buy, then buy.If you don't want to buy it, we don't force it.Anyway, now, we have the initiative. "

Everyone laughed.

Now all the grain in Jiangyin County is in their hands. They say how much it is per catty, that is how much it is per catty.

The pricing power of food is in their hands.

After receiving the order, all the people went to act separately to carry out Mai Hong's arrangement.

Everyone made their own arrangements, and within a short time, they began to sell food.The brand-new food price has made the price of food in the entire Jiangyin County reach a sky-high level, which is daunting.

When Du Qi got the news from the county government, it happened that Xu Yinhe also came to visit the county government.In fact, when grain prices were rising like a raging fire, when the merchants in Jinling County headed by Mai Hong purchased grain on a large scale, he had already come to the city and lived in the city so that he could respond at any time.

Xu Yinhe was amazed by the eventually raised food prices, and even more amazed by the ambitions of Mai Hong and others.The food price, which had already been raised to sky-high prices, suddenly doubled again now, which is really terrifying.

Seeing Du Qi, Xu Yinhe saluted and said, "Your Majesty!"

Du Qi said: "Patriarch Xu came today for the news that Mai Hong and others started selling grain, right?"

Xu Yinhe said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Du Qi said: "You arrange it, notify the government's granary, open the granary to sell the grain, and sell it at the old grain price. In addition, there is news that the grain purchased from Jiangdu County is being delivered continuously. The county will not be short of food. Thirdly, with the help of officials

In the name of the government, a notice was issued that the grain in Jiangyin County is now only allowed to enter, not to exit. "

"Yes!"

Xu Yinhe responded immediately.

He was even more amazed in his heart.

Du Qi's song is simply a draw from the bottom of the pot.Grain is continuously transported from Jiangdu to Jiangyin County, so the grain of the major merchants cannot be sold.As for the food that cannot be transported away, it is impossible for the merchants headed by Mai Hong to take the food away, and all the food has to be placed in Jiangyin County.

This means that the people headed by Mai Hong took money to come to Jiangyin County, but in the end, they stole chickens without losing money.

Xu Yinhe withdrew excitedly, then quickly released the news and made arrangements.

On the government side, it was already prepared.

The grain shop affiliated to the government has already started selling grain, and the price of grain is extremely cheap.This incident, relatively speaking, is not a big disturbance, at most the common people are very excited.But when countless grains were sent from Jiangdu, and the grains purchased by merchants in large quantities were not allowed to leave Jiangyin County, it would be a fatal blow to Mai Hong and others.

As soon as the news came out, there were originally people buying grain at the merchant's shop in Jinling County, but now there was no one there.

When the businessmen got the news, they all panicked.

Jiangyin County actually gave them a hard time.Not daring to waste time, they all came to the mansion quickly, gathered in front of Mai Hong, and talked about the changes in the market in Jiangyin County.

After Mai Hong finished listening, his expression was also cold and serious.

A heart sank.
