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

Those people were scattered in various places in Qingyang City, and they said to those around them: "Don't worry about food. The price will definitely not rise. You in Qingyang City don't know that the court's Minister Xie launched the four-square rice planting method at the beginning of the year, which achieved great results. This year, the people of Shengjing City have a bumper harvest.

"Lord Xie cares about the people. After learning about the earthquake in Qingyang City, he personally led people to watch the villagers harvest rice, and spent money to purchase the latest grain as soon as possible.

"This year, the people had a good harvest, so the grain price in Shengjing City has dropped slightly. In addition, Lord Xie purchased the grain to save the people of Qingyang City. People are made of flesh and blood, and Lord Xie is the benefactor of their good harvest, so the grain they sold to Lord Xie was reduced a lot.

"In a few days, the grain from Shengjing City will be delivered to Qingyang City. The price will only go down and will never go up. Don't worry."

Word of this spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In less than one morning, it had spread to every corner of Qingyang City. From the elderly in their seventies to the little children, everyone knew about it.

The seeds of hope were planted in the hearts of the people of Qingyang City. They were looking forward to it...

When Lei Yushan and Guo Congsheng heard the news, they were shocked, but they did not believe it.

"It's alarmist! It must be alarmist!" The two people said the same words at the same time in their own homes.

That night, Chu Heyi knocked on the Guo family's door. After the housekeeper learned that she was the owner of the Yan family shop, he immediately went to inform Guo Congsheng, who immediately asked the housekeeper to invite them in.

Chu Heyi and Xie Lin looked at each other, then they both stepped forward at the same time and walked into the main hall of the Guo family.

Guo Congsheng hated Chu Heyi. After all, Chu Heyi had seized the grain market that originally belonged to him. So when Chu Heyi came in, he looked at Chu Heyi and Xie Lin with contempt and hatred.

Chu Heyi directly introduced himself and Xie Lin's identities, which scared Guo Congsheng so much that he almost fell off his chair and the color drained from his face in an instant.

Chu Heyi smiled and said calmly, "I came here today to ask Boss Guo to sell me all the grain you have. I will pay 80 coins per stone."

Although Guo Congsheng was frightened, Chu Heyi's words also made him very angry.

"I buy grain at a price between 110 and 120 coins, but you want me to sell it to you at coins per stone. This is absolutely impossible."

Chu Heyi said, "In a few days, Shengjing City's bumper grain harvest will be shipped to Qingyang City. Tomorrow, Boss Guo wants to sell it for 80 coins per stone, but I won't buy it."

Guo Congsheng snorted coldly and refused to accept her threat. His family had been in the grain business for generations. If he was easily intimidated by the price, his Guo's grain shop would not have been so big and had lasted for so many years.

He said, "I would rather let the grain go bad in the warehouse than sell it. Please go, girl!"

Chu Heyi was not angry, nor did he force her, and left with Xie Lin. They went to Lei Yushan and said the same thing, and Lei Yushan also sternly refused.

The next morning, the price of grain at Yan's shop owned by Chu Heyi was reduced to 88 coins per stone. The people cheered, but Lei Yushan and Guo Congsheng were very upset.

A day later, the price was reduced to eighty-five coins per stone. Lei Yushan and Guo Congsheng were both frightened out of their wits.

Lei Yushan was particularly weak-willed. He quietly found Chu Heyi and said anxiously, "I have 250,000 dan of grain in my hand. I will sell it to you at 80 coins per dan!"

Chu Heyi smiled and said, "After that day, no one will buy grain at 80 coins per stone. Although Qingyang City has no harvest, other prefectures have just collected grain. The price of grain will only get lower and lower. I am losing money if I buy your grain at 80 coins per stone now."

Lei Yushan was about to cry: "Well, how about 78 coins per stone? I have already suffered huge losses. Miss, just take pity on my family, all of whom are waiting for me to support them!"

Chu Heyi sneered. When the disaster victims were in dire straits, this man took advantage of the situation to rob them. He didn't show any mercy at all.

"Sixty coins per stone. If Boss Lei wants to sell it, I'll send someone to move the grain right away."

“Sixty!” Lei Yushan jumped up, his face full of anger. “Then I might as well open a shop and sell it myself, so I won’t suffer such a loss!”

Chu Heyi said calmly, "When the people need food the most, you raise the price of food. You said that when the price of food drops in a few days, will the people buy your food or mine?"

Lei Yushan was dumbfounded and broke out in a cold sweat.

Their family also has relatives in Shengjing City. He asked someone and learned that this year's grain harvest in Shengjing City is indeed better than in previous years, and the price of grain has indeed dropped. He also got accurate information that when the news of the earthquake in Qingyang City reached Shengjing City, Xie Lin's people began to purchase grain.

Lei Yushan's heart sank into an ice cellar. At this price, he couldn't even break even on his capital. But if he kept it until next year to sell it, not only would it occupy the granary, but the grain would also become stale and could not be sold at a good price.

Besides, Qingyang City will not need so much food next year.

The most important thing is that the four-square rice planting method will definitely be promoted to Qingyang City during the spring plowing next year. By then, the people will have a good harvest, the amount of food they need will definitely be greatly reduced, and the price of food will also fall.

All these things made Lei Yushan shudder. He gritted his teeth and sold all his shares.

He did not dare to alert Guo Congsheng, fearing that he would be laughed at; nor did he dare to alert the people above him, fearing that he would be considered a traitor. If the other party got angry, he might be killed.

The grain was moved away at night. Lei Yushan felt his heart bleeding. The next morning, the price of grain in Yan's shop dropped to 82 cents per stone.

Guo Congsheng did not sleep all night and had blisters in his mouth at dawn. When he heard the news that food prices had been falling for three consecutive days, he felt like he had been hit by a bolt from the blue.

Hearing that the grain for Shengjing City had been transported halfway, he could no longer hold back and impatiently and quietly went to find Chu Heyi to sell the grain.

Chu Heyi politely invited him into the main hall for tea, but rejected his request: "Boss Guo's grain is too expensive. I won't buy it."

Guo Congsheng took a deep breath and suppressed his inner emotions: "Miss, you sell grain for 82 coins per stone. I will sell it to you for 80 coins per stone. Is it still expensive?"

Chu Heyi looked at him as if he was seeing a joke: "Don't my people need to eat? Don't I need to pay them wages? 55 coins per stone, if Boss Guo is willing to sell it, then sell it. If not, please leave."

A bolt from the blue!!! The veins on Guo Congsheng's forehead twitched violently!
