On the other hand, everyone in Jiangnan Grain, led by Zhu Shide, was smiling and seemed confident of victory.
The Boling Li family was destined to be eliminated from the game the moment the transport fleet had an accident on the seventh day.
Although Gu Xianting fought with them until the last day, there was no danger.
During these ten days, through the joint efforts of all grain merchants, the Hangzhou granary was filled with a total of 300,000 shi of grain. The detailed number was 300,000 shi and 6,000 shi.
According to reliable information, Gu Xianting, the biggest competitor, purchased about 280,000 shi to fill the Suzhou granary, and the detailed amount was 277,000 shi.
I heard that Gu Xianting's family was in urgent need of medical treatment, and last night they got a lot of food from the Gu family and the Zhang family. The amount was not small, about three thousand dan.
In this way, there is still a gap of 26,000 stone.
Twenty-six thousand stones may seem like just a number, but the amount is staggering.
Ten thousand shi was enough to feed an army of 10,000 people for one month. On that day, the people of Suzhou rushed to buy food. When the 10,000 shi arrived, the turmoil stopped.
Unless all the grain rain fell on the Suzhou granary, the Jiangnan grain merchants really couldn't think of any other way for the Gu Xianting family to turn defeat into victory.
The hustle and bustle of the guild hall is mostly the chatter of Jiangnan grain merchants. They are already discussing and exchanging grain business for the next ten years. Under the leadership of the Zhu family in Hangzhou, everyone's life will be as prosperous as before.
On Gu Xianting's side, only Ye Yui was in charge. Gu Xianting didn't know where to move reinforcements. Even Xie Fu was missing at this important moment.
However, Huo Duan, who had been eliminated a long time ago, was also present today and kept chatting with Ye Yui, asking questions.
In Huo Duan's view, the failure of Jiangnan East Road Grain Merchant was nothing to Xie Fu. Soon Xie Fu would be the Jiedushi of Huainan Road, in charge of the eight observer envoys of Jiangnan East Road, and Jiangnan East Road was also under his jurisdiction.
Inside.
First secure the position of Huainan Province Jiedushi, and then with the help of Huo Duan, deal with a small Jiangnan East Province grain merchant, is that still a problem?
I'm afraid that Zhu Shide will be eager to give up his position as Jiangnan East Road Grain Merchant.
Looking at the high-spirited Zhu Shide, Huo Duan secretly smiled in his heart, Zhu Shide, if you lose today, it's fine. If you win, you will suffer a lot later. The one you offended is the Jiedushi of Huainan Road.
This Lord Jiedushi is also the son-in-law of a prince. Behind him are the three powerful princes of the Gu family, the Lu family, the Zhang family, and the Wuzhong family. So what if you are a collateral member of the Zhu family?
I saw Ye Yui with a serious look on her face, no! There was also Mrs. Li Clan, Miss Ye family.
In terms of connections and connections, you, Zhu Shide, are still far behind.
Around 15:00 in the afternoon, a man walked into the guild hall and reported loudly to Ye Meixun, who was sitting in the middle seat: "Sir, the number of Jinling granaries has been counted."
Although the amount is large, counting grain is the daily work of the Ye family, and there is also a unique counting method. Ye Meixun also arranged for the counting division to be stationed in Jinling in advance, and it only took two hours to complete the counting."
Jinling is four hundred miles away from Suzhou and can be reached by horseback in half a day.
Obviously, the man who came here to report was a martial arts expert. He could rush from Jinling to Suzhou faster than a horse.
Ye Mei asked: "Detailed number?"
"One hundred ninety-five thousand four hundred and thirty-three stones."
The Boling grain merchants were surprised when they heard that such a large number was as precise as one stone, and the number they calculated was only a rough estimate - 195,000 stone.
As expected of the Ye family, they really have a lot of skills.
When Li Baiyong heard this number, he sighed. It was a big difference. He lost the bid and lost face.
Ye Meixun said to the person next to him who was responsible for writing records: "Write it down!"
Then he smiled at Li Baiyong and said: "Master Li, God's will is difficult. Master Li is also a person who has experienced ups and downs. Please be more lenient."
Li Baiyong knew that the defeat was certain, and he didn't want to stay here for a moment. It was just that he couldn't leave early because the winner was not decided.
Ye Meixun added: "Ye is hosting a banquet in the evening to entertain Mr. Li, and I hope that Mr. Li will appreciate it and not refuse."
Li Baiyong was overjoyed when he heard this. It seemed that Ye Meixun wanted to discuss business cooperation with him. He felt comforted in his heart and said, "Li will definitely go to the appointment on time."
A group of Boling grain merchants smiled slightly, and their work was not in vain.
Being a grain merchant is also stressful. It's okay if the weather is peaceful, but if something goes wrong, the official warehouse must still be stored in full as agreed, which is a bit unbearable.
There are profits and losses in any business, and Boling grain merchants often make money-losing transactions.
If you have a good relationship with Ye Meixun, if you encounter natural disasters and the harvest is poor in the future, you can also buy grain from Ye Meixun to meet your urgent needs, and you don't have to be ripped off by other local grain merchants.
They originally took a fancy to the position of Jiangnan Dongdao Grain General Merchant, and also wanted to have a wider turnover space.
About a quarter of an hour later, another person came into the lobby of the guild hall: "Sir, the number of granaries in Hangzhou has been clearly counted."
"Detailed number?"
"Three hundred and sixty-six thousand five hundred and fifty-four stones."
The number is also detailed down to one stone, which is roughly the same as the 360,000 stone counted by Zhu Shide.
This number was like winning. All the Jiangnan grain merchants were smiling happily and whispering to each other. For a moment, it was as noisy as a vegetable market.
Ye Meixun said to the person who wrote the record: "Write it down!"
Now only Suzhou Granary has not yet produced results. Everyone looked towards Gu Xianting, but there was only Ye Yui who was disguised as a man, but the gentle and charming young lady Gu Xianting was not seen.
How come it's been so long and why is there still no trace? Could it be that he knew he was going to lose and simply didn't show up, or...
Still have some trump card to kill at the last moment?
Ye Yui was neither impatient nor impatient. In her opinion, getting her father's approval was more important than winning the position of Jiangnan East Road Grain Merchant. She still hoped that a miracle would happen.
Suzhou Granary is the closest to the guild hall, so the results should be available as quickly as possible, but why are the results delayed?
Could it be that Xie Fu is creating miracles? This bastard often creates miracles.
Thinking of Cao Cao Cao Cao's arrival, just when everyone was focusing on Ye Yui, Xie Fu strode in with a radiant face.
Seeing the radiant Xie Fu, all the Jiangnan grain workers felt their hearts pounding inexplicably, feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Xie Fu sat down next to Ye Yuiyi and called: "Sister Yuiyi."
Seeing Fu Xie's confident face, Ye Yui asked with a smile: "Why did you come just now? Have you finished it?"
Xie Fu asked: "Do I look energetic?"
Ye Yui hummed and nodded.
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Because I had a good sleep and felt much more energetic. I haven't slept well for several days."
Ye Yuiyi was stunned when he heard this, wishing he could give Xie Fu a violent shudder on the spot.
In fact, Xie Fu suffered a serious injury last night. Gu Xuan was worried that he would leave a legacy that would affect his future progress in martial arts, so he specially treated him.
When Zhu Shide saw Ye Yui and Xie Fu whispering, he felt uneasy. Although the other party failed in the ten-day test, he had created a miracle. There was no guarantee that he would not turn the tide of defeat into victory in this inevitable defeat.
He asked Ye Mei: "Mr. Ye, why haven't the number of granaries in Suzhou been counted yet?"
