Chapter 1,240 Jingnan people are stupid and have too much money, come quickly
All the grain merchants in the county government office chattered endlessly, but Zhu Pingan was very patient and did not interrupt any of the grain merchants' complaints. He listened carefully, nodding occasionally, and kept hearing the grain merchants themselves.
They can’t complain anymore until they can’t stop complaining anymore.
The room suddenly became quiet, so quiet that the grain merchants could only hear their own heartbeats.
The most fearful thing is that the air will suddenly become quiet... The sudden silence in the classroom made all the grain merchants feel inexplicably panicked.
Have we overreacted? Some grain merchants began to reflect uneasily.
However, it’s not our fault. What the county magistrate just said about defining grain prices in Jingnan was too shocking and had such a great impact on us that we couldn’t control ourselves for a moment.
Fortunately, the silence only lasted for a second before it was broken. A gentle voice broke the silence of the class room and saved the grain merchants from their anxiety.
"What you just said is that it is difficult to purchase food, the distance is long, the freight is high, and there are many risks... These are the difficulties you actually encountered, and they are all true. I can understand it. Well, when defining food prices, these factors
We all have to take it into consideration, do you have anything else to say?”
After there were no complaints from the grain merchants, Zhu Ping'an asked everyone warmly without feeling satisfied.
Well?
There is something very wrong with the county magistrate.
Now not only shopkeeper Yang discovered it, but all the grain dealers also discovered it belatedly.
We are so uncooperative, the county magistrate should not be angry, but why are you so patient and gentle?! There is an idiom that extreme happiness leads to sorrow, and the moral is reasonable, the county magistrate must be too angry with us?!
"Go back to the county magistrate, there is no more. We have just explained all the difficulties, and I ask the county magistrate to consider it again."
The grain merchants looked at each other and spoke one after another.
"Everyone, I understand your difficulties, but defining food prices is related to the people's livelihood and overall stability of Jingnan County. Food prices are uncertain day by day, and Jingnan is not determined day by day. Food prices still have to be determined." Zhu Pingan
Hearing this, he nodded, glanced at the grain merchants present, and said firmly.
That's right! This should be the reaction that a county official should have! This is the attitude that the government should have! After hearing Zhu Pingan's insistence on setting grain prices, the grain merchants felt that it was normal.
"Taken together various factors, one stone of grain..." Zhu Pingan paused here, squinted his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then opened his eyes, looked at the grain merchants with burning eyes, and then continued, "One stone of grain pricing..."
Two thousand yuan, what do you think?"
"County Lord... We are working really hard. One stone of food costs two thousand coins... Ah?! What?! Two thousand coins?!" The little shopkeeper who was winked by Shopkeeper Yang reflexively stood up to express his objection, and he was only halfway through his words.
, only belatedly realized that the county official’s price was two thousand cash for one stone of food, and he suddenly screamed "Ah", his eyes were so shocked that they almost popped out, and his mouth was opened wide enough to stuff it in.
It was as big as a fist, and then he swallowed twice before saying the next words.
However, no one laughed at him at this moment! Because all the grain merchants present, including shopkeeper Yang Zhen of Yangji Grain Store, were all shocked! Their expressions and reactions were not much better than his!
"What?! Two thousand Wen?!"
All the grain merchants were stunned and exclaimed! They couldn’t believe their ears!
One stone of grain costs 2,000 Wen!
My dear mother! Did I hear wrongly? The current market price outside is only 1,340 Wen per stone of grain. The county official actually priced one stone of grain at 2,000 Wen?!
Could it be that the county official sitting above was a grain merchant pretending to be a grain merchant?! All the grain merchants opened their eyes in disbelief and looked up at Zhu Pingan, who was sitting at the head of the table. At this moment, not only did they not believe them [Ling Ling]

"Well, it's a bit low, isn't it? Yes, the food procurement journey is long and risky, and the cost is getting higher and higher day by day... Then let's price one stone of food at two thousand five hundred cents!"
Zhu Pingan squinted his eyes and paused for a moment, then spoke.
What?! One stone of grain is priced at 2,500 Wen?!! 2,500 Wen!!!
Bang!
After hearing this, a grain merchant was so shocked that he fell down from his chair! As he fell to the ground, he muttered to himself, "This is not true. I must have heard wrong. I must have heard wrong..."
There was also a grain merchant who suspected that he was dreaming, so he quietly reached out and pinched his thigh. The pain made him grin, and then he believed that this was not a dream, but that it was real.
Surprise! Great joy! Ecstasy!
One stone of grain costs 2,500 Wen! This is double the current market price!
Gu...
The uniform sound of swallowing saliva could be heard from all the grain dealers in the county office room, and it was difficult to control themselves.
The county...could the county minister deliberately tell the truth?! To entertain us, right?!
This surprise came so suddenly and violently that many grain merchants could not believe it was true.
"In Jingnan, one stone of grain is priced at 2,500 yuan. Do you have any opinions?"
Zhu Ping'an asked warmly again amid the disbelieving gazes of the grain merchants.
"No! No objection!"
All the grain merchants spoke one after another, their heads shaking like electric fans. They were joking, one stone of grain costs two thousand five hundred cents. How could we have any objections? I'm afraid you might have objections!
"County...Your Majesty, is it really necessary to price one stone of grain at 2,500 Wen? Your Majesty, is it possible that you are entertaining us?!"
The little shopkeeper who was winked by Shopkeeper Yang was pushed out again, and on behalf of a group of grain merchants, he carefully asked about the most worrying point in their hearts.
Immediately, all the grain merchants looked at Zhu Pingan. No one could be more serious than at this moment. Their eyes did not blink, and they concentrated on not missing any of Zhu Pingan's expressions and movements. They were worried that this would happen.
It is an empty joy.
At this moment, I'm afraid Zhu Ping'an would sneer and add, "Humph, that's a nice idea, just go ahead and dream!"
"Defining grain prices is related to the county's economy, people's livelihood, and overall stability. It is not a joke! If you have no opinions, or if your opinions are not enough to be adopted, I will draft a text and seal it and announce it to the entire county! From the time this notice is posted,
:The price of food in Jingnan County is 2,500 yuan per stone!"
Zhu Pingan glanced at him and said seriously.
"No objection, of course I have no objection!" The little shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly, overflowing with ecstasy, which made his heart beat wildly. He tried hard to control his expression, but he still couldn't help but grin.
confirmed!
real!
It's actually true!
All the grain merchants were overjoyed. They all looked as if they had drunk two kilograms. Their faces were flushed with excitement, and their faces were blooming like flowers. They rubbed their hands vigorously in excitement!
At this moment, they all wanted to run up, hold the county magistrate's face, and take a bite.
Excitement and joy impacted every cell in their bodies, and they were so excited that they almost went crazy. If they hadn't worried that this was a county government, they would have danced with excitement.
"I have only one request. No one or any grain shop is allowed to sell grain in a limited amount! How much grain is sold, how much grain is sold! I will send people to check from time to time. If anyone dares to sell grain in a limited amount, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Zhu Pingan stretched out a finger, glanced at everyone with stern eyes, and said with a serious face.
"We will strictly abide by the county magistrate's decree! We will never sell food in limited quantities! If we violate it, we will let the magistrate be punished!"
All the grain merchants responded without hesitation.
Just kidding, the price has been fixed, one stone of grain costs 2,500 Wen. It’s like robbing money. How can we stop selling grain in limited quantities? On the contrary, not only will we not sell grain in limited quantities, we will also use all the power we can use.
, go to various parts of the country to purchase food.
By the way, my fourth uncle is a local grain merchant in Bashu. I have to send him a message and ask him to transport the grain to Jingnan to sell it! Also, my sworn brother also needs to say that if we have money, we can make money together...
…
Jingnan people are stupid and have too much money! Come quickly!
