Two hours later, Wang Peng took the 25,000-degree grain extraction list issued by Mr. Zhou himself and left the Zhou Mansion with satisfaction. As for Mr. Zhou, who was guaranteed by the General Mansion, he quickly summoned a few young masters to prepare to arrange the task of purchasing the first batch of grain.

At the same time, several other grain merchants and trading companies in Datong Prefecture also received officials from the General Office who came to buy grain.

However, except for one or two companies selling thousands of dans of grain to the General Office, other grain merchants symbolically sold dozens of dans of grain to the General Office.

Not only that, the officials who came to buy grain in the General Office had just left, and these grain merchants gathered together.

In the Wang Family Lobby, which is known as the number one business in Datong, the owners of several other businesses all sat on both sides of the lobby with smiles, discussing something with each other, and chuckled from time to time.

In their opinion, the General's Mansion went to his home to buy food, which proved even more that his original judgment was correct.

As a large number of refugees continue to pour into Datong Prefecture, the grain prices in Datong Prefecture will surely usher in a new round of soaring.

At that time, everyone can make a fortune by relying on the food they hoarded.

Seeing that the only master Wang in the lobby was in the head, there was no smile that everyone imagined. The head of the Li family, who was sitting first, asked with a smile on his face.

"Old Wang, are you already considering how much money the Wang family can make after the price of grain soars..."

"Among us grain merchants, Mr. Wang, you hoard the most food, with a total of 50,000 dan.... If you earn two taels of silver for each dan of grain, Mr. Wang can earn a income of 100,000 dan."

"Unlike us, even if we sell all the food in our hands, we can only earn tens of thousands of taels of silver..."

As soon as the head of the Li family finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a sneered smile followed and said, "Brother Li, this is not necessarily... The price of grain in our Datong Mansion is four or five taels of silver per loyment. If we wait until the price of grain soars to ten taels of silver, we will open a warehouse to sell grain. At that time, each of us can earn more than 100,000 taels of silver..."

"Ten taels of silver per lotus of grain are too high. Could the grain price surge to such a high price?" The middle-aged man just finished speaking, and a scream rang out in the lobby.

In the main seat of the lobby, Mr. Wang, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

With a firm face, he said: "As long as there is no intervention from the imperial court, the price of grain will soar to ten taels of silver per lever, there will be absolutely no problem... After all, Datong Mansion suddenly had hundreds of thousands more to eat food, and there was only so much food in the entire Datong Mansion."

"The court intervenes..." The head of the Li family frowned and asked to the old man Wang on the main seat.

"Old Wang, you are worried that the court will interfere with the price of grain... forbid us to raise prices..."

Mr. Wang nodded and replied: "Everyone knows that hundreds of thousands of refugees need food. If the food prices continue to rise, these hundreds of thousands of refugees may starve to death... If hundreds of thousands of refugees are violent, what will happen to the entire Datong Mansion? I don't say that everyone should be able to guess. In this case, do you think the court will ignore it?"

"The court will definitely care..." The head of the Li family, who took a breath, shouted loudly.

Just as the atmosphere of the main hall was condensed, the head of the Li family suddenly changed his words and continued: "However, I think that even if the court will manage it, it is still the court's business, and it has nothing to do with whether the food price rises..."

"As long as we hold the food in our hands and don't sell it, we don't have to do it ourselves, the two Datong Mansion's aircraft will naturally surge."

"Besides, we hold the food in our hands and don't sell it, and it's not illegal. Even if the court wants to take care of it, it can't take care of it."

"If the court really wants to calm the price of grain, there is only one way to transport large quantities of grain from other places to Datong Prefecture and sell it at prices lower than the market price. But does the court have the ability to transport grain from other places?"

Hearing this, except for the Wang Family raise on the main position, the other people showed a knowing smile on their faces.

As businessmen who have been traveling abroad all year round, their understanding of the court is definitely no less than that of some officials.

Therefore, they all knew the embarrassing situation of the court not spending enough money. With the situation where the court asked for money but had no money, there was no possibility of mobilizing grain from Datong Prefecture to provide relief to the victims and calming the soon-to-surge in grain prices.

Seeing that the concerns on the head of the Wang family's face had not dissipated at all. Whether it was because of his age or business experience, he respected Wang Laoyezi very much, and continued to ask with confusion on his face.

"Old Wang, I think you don't have to worry about the court's problems at all. Besides, there are people in the court. If the court really plans to do something, we will definitely get the news in advance and then escape without any loss."

"Yes... Mr. Wang, it's not the first time we've done this kind of thing, so don't worry at all..."

Under everyone's comfort, Mr. Wang suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed down. After everyone calmed down, he said with concern: "The court I mentioned is not the court in the capital, but our Datong General Palace..."

"I will never have such concerns before the new General took office. However, since he took office, I have begun to worry about our future."

"Because, so far, I have not seen through our General Lord, who is actually a kind of person?"

Seeing the silent people, Mr. Wang said in a shocking voice: "I can say with certainty that with the general's previous attitude towards refugees, he would never watch the grain prices of Datong Mansion soar... "

"As far as I know, in our Datong Prefecture, there are still many grain merchants who have not stood with us. And our general has purchased almost 40,000 dan of grain from these grain merchants at a price higher than the market..."

The middle-aged man with a sneered face said with a sarcastic look on his face, "Old Wang, you think too much of the General Mansion... Forty thousand harbors of grain is only more than four million pounds... You know, the number of refugees entering Datong Mansion has reached 200,000... If these 40,000 harbors of grain is used to provide relief to the victims, it will be thankful for a month..."

As for what middle-aged people say, Ye Zi directly expressed his ignorance...

Under everyone's attention, Mr. Wang continued to speak in a shocking voice: "Everyone has forgotten more than a dozen families that were exterminated more than half a month ago... Which of their families was exterminated because of despising the General Mansion... Although there is no evidence to prove that these things were done by the General Mansion, we all know in our hearts..."
