The Three Kingdoms

Even the worst corn has raised the price from 280 yuan per stone to more than [-] yuan per stone, and the price of grain in the Danyang market is completely chaotic.

"Zi Zhong, how much grain is there in the market in Danyang County?"

Sun Quan came to the mansion of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce and looked at the accounts submitted by all parties. Since the Arabic numerals named after Sun Quan appeared, the accounts have become much clearer and clearer at a glance.

"My lord, apart from the food in the hands of the local tyrants, most of it is already in the hands of merchants in the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce. At present, whether it is high-quality rice, or millet, corn, or wheat, the market in Danyang is starting to be out of stock, so all places The tycoons are starting to raise prices!"

Mi Zhu's eyes flashed with excitement. He never knew that money could be played like this. The plan Sun Quan said made his blood boil.

"Did our purchase of grain cause any reaction from these local tyrants?" Sun Quan dared not underestimate these powerful classes. Danyang is so big, there must be talents.

"not yet!"

There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Mi Zhu's mouth, and he said, "They should understand that the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce is buying grain, but they still don't know our purpose."

"How much food do we have stockpiled now?" Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes flickering coldly.

"Okay, almost, all of them add up to nearly [-] stone!"

Mi Zhu bowed his head, did the math, and reported after a while: "In three days, Kuaiji, the [-] shi of grain purchased by Wu County will also arrive, and we will have [-] shi of grain in our hands by then."

"This amount is enough to collapse the grain market in Danyang. We have enough bargaining chips. We can go to war. Starting tomorrow, all places will stop buying grain and start selling it. The price will be set at [-] yuan per stone first, and then it will decline day by day. !"

Sun Quan squinted his small amber eyes, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and he gave the order.

"promise!"

Mi Zhu nodded, and began to send people to various counties in Danyang to convey the orders of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce.

Danyang Government Office, Yuanling, Hong Family, a giant grain merchant, is headed by Hong Mo, in his early 50s, with an ugly face, a pair of small twinkling eyes, as shrewd as a fox.

"Father, there is a letter from the Chamber of Commerce!" At this time, a young man walked in and handed over a letter respectfully.

"Okay, let's start. Send an order immediately. Starting tomorrow, all grains under the Hongjia Grain Store will start selling grain at a reduced price."

Hong Mo looked at the letter, and immediately summoned all the deacons of the Hong family, his face looked a little ferocious, and he shouted loudly.

"Father, why did you lower the price?" Everyone didn't understand, and the young man couldn't figure it out even more. He looked at his father and asked, "We are at a disadvantage. There is such a shortage of food in the market now that we can sell it even if we don't bargain. .”

"Don't ask, just do it!" Hong Mo had already bet the Hong family on the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce. He joined the Chamber of Commerce just for the sake of breathing. Do everything.

"promise!"

The people below saw that the head of the Hong family was so determined, so they started selling the Hong family's grain.

Food is an indispensable resource for survival. When the price increases, it will naturally make people everywhere complain, but when the price is reduced, it will make people crazy.

As the Hong family lowered prices and sold grain, Yuanling grain merchants also began to sell grain at lower prices. Shicheng, Danyang, Jurong, Wuhu, Hushu... Merchants in prosperous places in Danyang County also began to gradually sell grain. Can cause restlessness and the presence of guests.

The price is a stark contrast. For the same thing, a fool would know to buy the cheap one instead of the most expensive one. The grain stores opened by the tyrants all over the place started to suffer.

The constant price cuts have started to trigger a storm of grain price cuts in the entire Danyang County, starting from four hundred dollars per stone, 390, 380...

At this time, the powerful class in Danyang began to smell a trace of uneasiness. Some shrewd people, unwilling to let the price drop, actually learned to bid for it without a teacher, and forcibly supported the market price.

"receive!"

"Go and get the grain from those merchants. Since they sold it at a low price, we will take it back at a low price!"

"The price cannot go down!"

The support of the powerful family in Danyang has lifted the curtain on the grain price war in Danyang. Between throwing and harvesting, the price tug-of-war continues to fall. In just ten days, it has fallen from 350 yuan to more than [-] yuan. .

At this time, Jiangdong began to enter the July season. In the markets all over Danyang, the grain price war was in full swing. More than a dozen Danyang merchants, led by the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, kept selling grain in their hands to suppress the market price as much as possible.

However, there are also a lot of assets in the hands of Hao Qiang, and they unite to buy the grain of the chamber of commerce, and force the price to hold it up and prevent it from falling.

"Young master, it's not good. The Li family, the most powerful local power in Yuanling, joined hands with the local powerhouses to start buying the grain in our hands. Now the market price has been dragged down, and it has stabilized at 350 yuan!" Mo Ling, Mi Zhu's face was a little gloomy , Hurry up and report to Sun Quan.

"How much food do the merchants in Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce still have?" Sun Quan didn't expect that there were still capable people. He squinted his eyes and asked.

"The grain sold is only more than 1 points, and now we still have about [-] shi of grain in our hands!" Mi Zhu reported.

"Who currently controls the most?"

"The Hong family, the giant grain merchant in Yuanling City of the Danyang Administration, worked the hardest when purchasing, and now they should have tens of thousands of grains in their hands!"

"Okay, since they want to hold down the market price so much, let's scare them!"

Sun Quan's eyes showed murderous looks, he clenched his fists, and said in a cold voice, "You tell the Hong family to throw out all the grain in their hands. The good rice costs [-] yuan a stone, and the corn costs [-] yuan a stone. Let me smash them to death." , Let me see which tyrant dares to throw such a large amount of food at home."

"Understood!" Mi Zhu's eyes lit up.

Yuanling, as the administrative city of Danyang, is also the central city of this grain price war. The grain prices in several markets have been messed up. If there are goods, the prices are high and no one buys them. Some want to buy them, and the prices are depressed. The ones that came down are out of stock.

[Text 2, Chapter [-], Under the Grain Price War]

Danyang County is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The fields under its jurisdiction have always been fertile, and the grain output is more than other places. It has always been a granary in the east of the Yangtze River.

Jiangdong has not yet built ships and gone to sea. Before the overseas wasteland was reclaimed, among the six counties of Jiangdong, the land of Danyang has always been the important place for Jiangdong's granary.

The Li family in Yuanling, the powerful leading family in Danyang, owns tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and more than [-] tenants. In the past, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce also relied on the strength of the Li family to take down Yuanling City without bloodshed. Take Danyang.

"Patriarch, it's not good. The Hong family's grain store in Yuanling Market has started to sell a lot of grain at a low price. The new rice and old grains are all sold at the price of 150 yuan a stone, and the worst corn has been reduced to [-] yuan a stone. Now the market is starting to go crazy."

A middle-aged butler of the Li family looked a little panicked, walked into the Li family mansion, and reported the situation of the market to the head of the Li family who was over [-] years old.

At this time, above the lobby of the Li family, more than a dozen local tyrants headed by Yuanling City who had already gathered were discussing the price of grain in Danyang. These days, the price of grain in various places in Danyang is unpredictable, which made them feel Uneasy, so the atmosphere here has become a little depressing.

"Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce is so courageous!"

The Patriarch of the Li family has white beard and hair, and a somewhat withered body knelt quietly on the bamboo mat in the lobby. Hearing the butler's report, he raised his head with a calm face, and a cold light shot out from his eyes. He spat out four words: "Hurt people with your roots!"

"Patriarch Li, you keep saying, what does the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce mean?"

The head of a Yuanling Haoqiang family stared at the old head of the Li family, with some doubts, and asked: "If this continues, the food in the Danyang market will become worthless. It's not just us who are losing money, they It will also do great damage.”

"Before we joined forces to boycott Moling, we thought we could teach the so-called Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce a lesson, but when the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce went all out to buy grain, we didn't wake up in time, and we didn't expect to give us such a hand."

The Patriarch of another powerful family asked in a low voice with a heavy face.

"Patriarch Li, if the price of grain collapses, with the current strength of the General's Mansion, we don't need grain from Danyang, then it will take at least a few years for our grain in Danyang to return to its original price, and our loss will be huge. "

In the lobby, a middle-aged man with far-sighted eyes seemed to see the intention of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce to suppress the price of grain, and his expression was extremely worried. If you want to sit on an equal footing with us, this example cannot be opened."

"Business merchants? Just a group of humble people like them, want to sit on an equal footing with us?" Someone was angrily.

"Don't think about it!"
