On the wedding day, the husband's family was confiscated and exiled
Chapter 74 gives you a reward, mua~
This sentence aroused the jealousy of many people.
They buy grain at high prices and sell grain at high prices. In fact, this is also caused by the people selling grain driving up prices. They buy it with four taels of silver, so they can't sell it for a few hundred coins, right?
Suddenly a store appeared selling at a low price.
It seriously affected the market.
Shi Shuang understood in his heart, "Do we have to earn this silver? Now the country is in crisis, and the common people don't even have one or two taels. If they die, let alone the soldiers outside who fought hard, what would it matter if they won, because there is no one left in the country. If you hadn't gone with the flow and allowed the price of food to rise, perhaps the situation would not be so serious."
Some time ago, food-grabbing incidents broke out in several counties.
Are the people at fault? Yes, but they are just hungry and want to eat, not watch their families starve to death. Is the fault entirely on the people?
No, the fault lies with the sudden storm and incident, and the court that failed to take measures and allowed this evil spirit to develop.
Zhang Zhong sighed and said, "We have no other choice but to come to you for help. Please give us a way out, even if it means raising the price of grain to the cost."
In this way, there won’t be so many people coming to buy.
After all, the price is the same, why go so far?
Shi Shuang refused: "Sorry, I won't raise the price, I can only lower it!"
"Lower the price!" Zhang Zhong took a deep breath and felt like he was going to faint. "How can you make money with just this little money? Are you going to lose all the money in the General's Mansion?"
Before this, these wealthy businessmen had dinner together early in the morning and got to know the Xie family and the Shi family.
The young lady in front of him was just a concubine's daughter and her reputation was not very good. He originally thought that intimidation, coercion and inducement would be enough to succeed, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Shi Shuang chuckled, "I don't need the money from the general's mansion, and I won't be in deficit."
Xie Wei's eyes darkened slightly. He held his wife's hand and placed it on the table. This preference is so blatant, he said.
"When we were fugitives, we helped the people. Now that we are free again, what does that little bit of money mean to us? We can't live just to make money, right?"
Shi Shuang nodded.
“We still have to figure out how to spend it.”
Don't wait until you make some money and then find out that you're no longer around and suddenly start missing the four or five thousand dollars you earned in the real world and you're not willing to buy a new phone.
The wealthy businessmen: “…” They felt like they were fed a handful of bizarre dog food.
Hong Fu asked with a light cough.
"Young Madam, has this always been your price?"
"Maybe, but it won't be high. I know why you are here this time. You want me to reduce the food supply. I only have one answer, and that is impossible." Shi Shuang was firm in her attitude. She stood up and looked at everything indifferently.
What if she raised the price too.
What would the people do? Thinking of starving to death or eating their own children, she felt tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't have any special abilities, so as long as her family and she were safe, she would donate as much food as she had.
Lin Yushan slammed his hands on the table, a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Madam, I, Lin Yushan, have been doing business for so many years. You are the enemy of all businessmen. Aren't you afraid of retaliation?"
"I am honest and upright, so what do I have to be afraid of? Even if I die, the food will still be in the hands of the people, and the torch will be passed on, and there will be an endless supply." Shi Shuang finished speaking, raised the corner of his mouth, and added, "Threats are useless to me."
She is not afraid of threats, not just because she can protect herself.
But she really wanted to do this thing. There was no retreat, only moving forward and being brave.
Lin Yushan sighed, then leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Maybe what Xie Yan said was not just about making money. Maybe he was thinking about why Shi Shuang did this. Could it be that young people nowadays like to go against the grain? Could it be...
Thinking of this, he recalled his childhood.
Officials came to collect taxes, and if you didn't pay, they would beat you. They also emptied the house of all its belongings, leaving behind only the crying mother, the helpless father, and an empty home!
"Oh!" His impression gradually became blurred, but everyone's situation now seemed to be exactly the same as before.
Zhang Zhong knelt on the ground with a thud, his face flushed red. Yes, any seven-foot-tall man kneeling on the ground to beg for help would feel like he was trampling on his dignity, let alone a man in ancient times, who had gold under his knees.
He leaned down and pleaded, "Master, Madam! I beg you, please have mercy on us, we have families too!"
Shi Shuang pursed her lips and said, "This is somewhat useful to me."
Hong Fu sat up and looked at the young lady. Was she convinced by just a few words? He asked in surprise, "You want to raise the price of grain?"
"No, keep it as it is." Shi Shuang continued, "I know your grain is expensive, and some people even use all their belongings to buy grain. I don't care whether you want to support your family or make a fortune in the national crisis. I have a way."
Zhang Zhong asked, "Which road?"
Shi Shuang met many expectant eyes and said slowly: "You can take the purchase order to find Uncle Lin, the steward here, and I will help you pay the silver, but there is a requirement that you must sell it to the people at the lowest price. If someone gives it away for free, I will also support it."
She placed the contracts on the table, a thick stack.
"One per person, once you sign, you cannot breach the contract."
Xie Xuan's face was murderous. "If anyone breaches the contract, our Xie family will not let them go! Think carefully before signing. Do you want to keep your capital or let the food rot at home?"
Lin Yushan picked up the contract and couldn't help but sigh, "Young Madam, has this been prepared for a long time?"
Shi Shuang placed her hands on the table and smiled at her husband. This was an emergency solution. Originally, they had planned to do this and not care about anything else, just to teach those who wanted to make money from the national crisis a lesson.
But, my heart is still too soft.
They are businessmen, so naturally they want to make money. Driving up prices is not the intention of anyone, as long as the food ends up in the hands of the people.
Don't worry about it so much.
"Why else would I meet you? To be intimidated, threatened, and tricked by you?"
"Young Madam is so direct in her words." Lin Yushan took a sip of tea to hide the embarrassment on his face, but he couldn't help but admire the woman in front of him. He was already sixty years old and had seen all kinds of people, but this woman really surprised him.
I am a humble girl, but I can also talk about national affairs and have such profound opinions.
But now that he has seen the prosperity, he is blinded by greed, and it seems that all his previous lofty words and youthful vigor have been buried along with his age.
Shi Shuang smiled and said, "Everyone, think about it carefully. My husband and I have something else to do. Uncle Lin, you wait here."
She held hands with Xie Wei, and the wealthy businessmen all stood up to see them off.
After going out, Xie Xuan said, "Xie Yan has gone to find Zhizi. I have finished what you asked me to do."
There was anticipation in his eyes, as if he was waiting for praise.
Shi Shuang leaned over and kissed the man on the cheek, "Well done, I'll give you a reward, mua~"
