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

Guo Congsheng laughed angrily: "Miss, you really know how to joke. 55 coins per stone, I might as well open a shop and sell it myself."

Chu Heyi drank tea leisurely, without any emotional ups and downs, and said calmly: "If Boss Guo can sell it himself, just open the door to sell grain, and it will save me the effort."

Guo Congsheng was filled with rage and glared at Chu Heyi. He had always been good at hiding his emotions, but now he was really angry.

At this time, he still didn't understand why he couldn't sell his grain if he lowered the price to the same level as Chu Heyi's men.

After Guo Congsheng left, he did not go home, but went directly to the grain shop. He called the shop assistants over and asked them to get ready and start selling grain.

The waiter asked him, "Boss, what is the price of our grain?"

Some of the guys helped Guo Congsheng purchase food, so they knew the purchase price.

But the price at Chu Heyi's place is now 82. If they sell it at a price higher than this, they will not be able to sell it. But if they sell it at a price lower than this, they will suffer huge losses.

One shi of grain means a loss of thirty coins, ten shi means a loss of three taels of silver, and one hundred shi means a loss of thirty taels of silver... The Guo family has a total of 350,000 shi of grain. With this calculation, the loss is over one million taels of silver.

This does not include transportation costs, labor costs, etc.

As one of the largest grain merchants in the area, Guo Congsheng should not have had so little grain. The strange thing was that when he started purchasing, there was not much grain left in and around Qingyang City.

He was heartbroken at the time.

Although he was now somewhat fortunate that there was not much food left for him to purchase, he was still heartbroken because the loss was too huge.

But it is still much better than selling it to Chu Heyi for fifty-five coins.

If he really sold it for fifty-five cents, he could only get back half of the money he invested.

He guessed that the remaining food should have all been purchased by Lei Yushan. He didn't expect that guy to act faster than him. However, this guy is now suffering a greater loss than him. Thinking of this, Guo Congsheng felt much better.

"Let's set the price at eighty coins per stone, which is two coins less than Yan's shop." After Guo Congsheng finished speaking, he let out a long breath. He did not feel relieved, but instead felt even more heartbroken.

But he never expected that after the shop had been open for a whole morning and many people had walked past the door, no one asked about the price, let alone wanted to buy rice.

Guo Congsheng felt very uneasy and immediately asked his confidant to investigate the situation.

About an hour later, the confidant came back with a dejected look on his face.

"Master, people in Qingyang City are saying that grain prices will plummet. Many people just spent money to buy grain from the Yan family shop a few days ago. They won't buy again in the short term. Everyone is saving money and waiting for the grain price to plummet."

The confidant also said, "Also, the grain price we set last time angered the people of Qingyang City. They all said that you, Mr. Guo... you are a profiteer and don't care about their lives at all. They will not come to you to buy grain... at least not this year."

Guo Congsheng staggered and fell into a chair, his eyes staring straight ahead, as if his soul had been hollowed out in an instant.

He murmured, "No wonder... No wonder she asked me to come back and sell grain. She guessed it. She had long guessed that I would end up like this..."

He suddenly felt that the girl was very scary.

Guo Congsheng fell seriously ill and could not get up from his bed. He consulted many doctors, but to no avail.

He was in a daze, but he still remembered to call his wife and young eldest son, and asked them to go find Chu Heyi and tell her that he had sold the grain at 55 coins per stone.

During this short period of time, he also thought about the situation of Qingyang City's grain market in the coming year, which was not much different from what Lei Yushan had thought.

Therefore, even if he lost more than half of his shares, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and sell them.

That night, the grain in the Guo family's granary was moved bag by bag to the granary prepared in advance by Chu Heyi, and more people were sent to guard it.

After this incident, Guo Congsheng remained ill until the spring of the following year, when his health began to improve, but his physical and mental condition were no longer as good as before. But that is a story for later.

However, after Chu Heyi bought the grain from Guo Congsheng, he felt greatly relieved.

As early as May, after she left Shengjing City, she began to purchase food along the way, buying it stone by stone, and then transporting it in batches to the vicinity of Qingyang City.

At that time, Qingyang City had not yet experienced an earthquake and the purchasing price was still cheap, so she stored a large amount of food near Qingyang City and set up many points.

Lei Yushan and Guo Congsheng didn't know that the food they purchased after the earthquake was actually bought from her, including the share held by Cheng Wang and his wife, most of which was also bought from her.

She purchased the goods at a price of 110 coins and sold them for between 120 and coins, making a profit of several million taels of silver.

She pretended to have sold all the grain, and only then did Lei Yushan and Guo Congsheng dare to open for business and raise the price to 150 and 155 coins per stone.

The amount of grain she provided to the outside world was only 80,000 tons, and only very few people knew about it. In fact, the amount she still kept in her hands was 200,000 stones.

Now, what she has in her hands, plus what Lei Yushan and Guo Congsheng sold, totals to 850,000 stones.

On the second day after Guo Congsheng's grain was transported over, the grain purchased by Xie Lin in Shengjing City also arrived smoothly, totaling 200,000 shi.

The letter she had sent to Xie Lin earlier had asked him to stay in Shengjing City, wait for the people's autumn harvest, and then store up food and send it to Qingyang City.

Then organize the relatives of Qingyang City who are far away in Shengjing City to return to Qingyang City to visit relatives at the critical moment and spread the news of Shengjing City's bumper harvest and plummeting grain prices.

It seems like a simple thing, but it is easy to be targeted by others, especially the prime minister, or Princess Cheng who was still in Shengjing City at that time. It was a crisis, so Xie Lin had to stay in Shengjing City at that time.

It was after Xie Lin dreamed that Chu Heyi was in danger and could not sit still that he finally decided to come to Qingyang City to look for her.

All subsequent matters were left to Wangshan to complete, but he had made all the necessary arrangements, which enabled Wangshan to complete the task so smoothly.

Perhaps during this period, Wangshan and others shed a lot of blood before they finally completed the task.

Fortunately, Wangshan and 200,000 shi of grain have been delivered to them.

Xie Lin took the account book from Wang Shan and handed it to Chu Heyi: "The grain I purchased is 75 coins per stone. Although the production has increased this year, the four-square rice planting method has not been popularized throughout the country. The increase in production is limited. 75 coins is already a very low price."

Food is never cheap, no matter what time of year.

Chu Heyi immediately calculated that, with the grain from Shengjing City, she now had a total of 105 million shi, of which only 20 shi were bought at the price of 80 coins.

The average price of grain from the four places combined was 65 coins per stone.

Chu Heyi deducted the labor wages, transportation costs, and large rewards for his colleagues who had risked their lives for him on the spot, and finally set the price of grain at 68 coins per stone without making a single penny.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Qingyang City was in an uproar.

Even in a bumper year, the lowest price of grain was 75 coins per stone. If the harvest was poor, the price would rise to around 115 coins. Since the founding of the Daqi Kingdom, they had never bought such cheap grain.

Especially after Qingyang City experienced a great disaster, the price of grain could still be as low as 68 coins per stone, which was something the people had never imagined.

They thought that the price would plummet to 75 per stone at most. For a while, a long queue formed in front of the Yan's shop opened by Chu Heyi.

She opened six grain shops in Qingyang City, occupying almost every important location in Qingyang City.

When Runxue heard the news, she was stunned for a while, "Didn't they say that Chu Heyi only had 80,000 shi of grain?!"
