The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

There are grain merchants of all sizes in Qingyang City. Before the earthquake, the largest and best-performing ones were Lei Yushan and Guo Congsheng.

Now there is an earthquake in Qingyang City, and countless people have been killed or injured, including grain merchants of all sizes.

However, the areas where Lei Yushan and Guo Congsheng's families lived were flat and open, so they were not severely affected and could recover after a little reorganization.

Especially Lei Yushan. When people from Shengjing City came to him to buy food, although he didn't know the other party's specific identity, he could guess that the other party should be a high-ranking official.

This time when he came to Qingyang City, the official wanted to make a fortune in addition to providing disaster relief and saving the people.

It was indeed a good opportunity to make a fortune. There was very little food left in the Qingyang City granary, and the crops in the fields were destroyed. Most people had no harvest this autumn.

The imperial court’s relief grain was never too much, and before long, most people would need to buy grain, and they would take the opportunity to raise the price of grain.

Now he followed the arrangement of that senior official and stored all the grain inside and outside Qingyang City in his own hands. When the people were in serious food shortage, he could set the price according to his own wishes.

As for Guo Congsheng's competitor... Lei Yushan thought about it and realized that the man was always more cunning and treacherous than him. He would never miss such a good opportunity to make a fortune. He would only follow his footsteps and raise the price of grain, and would never lower the price.

However, just in case, Lei Yushan personally sent a message to Guo Congsheng to discuss the matter.

After listening to his statement, Guo Congsheng agreed without any hesitation: "Boss Lei's idea is exactly what I think. This is a rare opportunity, and we must not let it go."

Lei Yushan smiled, and the two of them agreed on three rules, and the matter was settled.

But before Lei Yushan left, Guo Congsheng suddenly asked him: "Is it easy to store food in and outside Qingyang City?"

Lei Yushan did not answer directly, but asked in return: "Boss Guo must have arranged for people to stockpile food everywhere, right? Whether it is easy or not, Boss Guo must know better than me."

Guo Congsheng just smiled and didn't say much, but there was a hint of suspicion in the depths of his eyes, which made him feel vaguely worried.

Lei Yushan said: "Since Boss Guo asked me this question, I will also ask Boss Guo a question. What is the price of the grain you have hoarded?"

Guo Congsheng laughed and said, "It can't be cheaper than before the earthquake. The price must have gone up."

This was no different from not answering. Lei Yushan secretly cursed him as an old fox and said, "Then I can rest assured that Boss Guo will not lower the grain price at will."

The seemingly casual words actually contained a warning. Guo Congsheng quickly said, "Of course not! Boss Lei, you can rest assured about this. We businessmen value profit. How can I lower the price of grain when there is such a good opportunity!"

Lei Yushan looked at him deeply, then stood up and left.

After this conversation, Lei Yushan continued to obey the request of the "big official" and stockpiled large amounts of grain.

The "big official" had already agreed with him that in the end, the profits would be divided according to the proportion of their respective investments.

Of course, his labor costs and hard work fees will be calculated separately.

Don’t miss out on free benefits.

Of course, the main reason for cooperating with high-ranking officials is that he is greedy for the protection they will give him in this matter. Only by combining officials and businessmen can he make more money.

It was another successful day for stockpiling food. When Lei Yushan returned from outside, he was in a good mood and even couldn't help humming a little tune.

Seeing this, his old mother snorted coldly: "People outside are suffering, how can you still have the mood to hum a song? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

Lei Yushan stared at her with his tiger eyes: "My family is fine, they have food and clothes, why can't I be happy? Besides, I am a businessman. The more miserable they are and the more food they lack, the more money I can make! Naturally, I am happy to hum a little song!"

The old lady was so angry that she grabbed the peach in front of her and threw it at him, but Lei Yushan dodged it.

Lei Yushan continued, "Qingyang City will soon be out of food. When that happens, the people will be grateful to me, and I will be able to sell them food! I am doing a good deed, old lady!"

The old lady laughed in anger: "Then can you make less money and not raise the price of grain too high?"

Lei Yushan also laughed: "Old lady, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a lot of money, how can I miss it? In previous years, I worked very hard to earn that much money, but this year I can easily earn the same amount, but you asked me to give up. Are you the old lady of our Lei family? Are you my real mother?"

The old lady couldn't bear it any longer, so she stood up and chased after Lei Yushan to fight him. Lei Yushan dodged her while talking to anger her. Finally, the old lady ran out of breath and fainted.

Lei Yushan directly asked someone to carry the old lady back to her room to sleep. He did not feel guilty, but only felt relieved. The old lady who was sick in bed was doing well, and no one stopped him from raising the price of grain to sell it.

As far as he knew, the food in Qingyang City was almost gone, and the rescue of the disaster victims was almost over. He didn't know when that adult would notify him to open the warehouse and sell the food!

Lei Yushan couldn't wait any longer, so he went to find the adult. The adult replied, "Wait a little longer!"

……

The relief food from Shengjing City has not arrived yet, and the food has been almost used up. Many people only ate until they were 70% full in the past few days, and now there are seven or eight rice grains floating in a bowl of rice soup, and they feel very resentful.

Not only were they filled with resentment, but their bodies could not take it anymore and many soldiers were almost unable to do anything.

Liu Xun walked past the soldiers and saw the rice soup in their bowls. He became furious.

He strode into Dongfang Shuo's room.

It has been about ten days since there were any aftershocks in Qingyang City. Qin Rui ordered people to clean up a yard, and now Dongfang Shuo has moved into this yard.

When Liu Xun came in, it was lunch time. He saw food on the table, including fish, meat and white rice.

"Lord Liu is here. I wanted to ask someone to invite you to come and have dinner with us." Dongfang Shuo did not feel guilty at all when he saw him. Instead, he was calm and composed.

The food was almost gone, but this prince still prepared something special and was still so particular about the food and drink. Liu Xun was so angry that his head was about to smoke, but because the other party was a prince, he could only bear it.

He only asked: "There are only a few rice grains floating in the rice soup that the soldiers eat. If this continues, I'm afraid their bodies will not be able to bear it. The victims have no food to eat and can't hold out for too long. I would like to ask Your Highness how to solve the current problem."

Thinking of what the soldiers were eating and the hungry victims, Liu Xun looked at the food in front of him, and endured it again and again, but in the end he did not overturn the table.
