He seemed to be waiting quietly for Qian Yonggui to speak.
He's figuring it out.
He is waiting.
Since it is food, if you want to sell it in Tsarist Russia, it must go through him. This is Menshikov's current status in Tsarist Russia.
So......
Next, there is a question of price.
Qian Yonggui was sweating coldly. He seemed to know that Menshikov was difficult to deal with, and said tremblingly: "Marshal, one stone of corn, five hundred coins..."
"Here comes someone!"
Menshikov's face fell instantly.
The guards started moving again.
Five hundred articles!
Generally speaking, as long as the society is in a stable situation, the price of one stone of corn is about one tael of silver, which is one thousand cash. But in wartime, the price of food will definitely increase significantly. Therefore, money is always expensive, I don’t know
Why was Menshikov so angry again? He was so frightened that he knelt down again and shouted for the marshal.
Menshikov snorted coldly and said angrily: "You still give me this price for the grain that you can't sell? Do you think I am so easy to entertain?"
vampire!
Qian Yonggui's face changed drastically when he heard this.
This guy is a vampire!
He had inquired before coming here. As the war entered a fever pitch, the price of grain and corn in Tsarist Russia was already twenty taels of silver when converted into Long Yan's currency!
Five hundred articles!
The price here is five hundred cents!
This Menshikov is not satisfied yet!
"Three hundred coins!"
"Three hundred coins!"
Qian Yonggui gritted his teeth and broke into a cold sweat.
"Marshal, three hundred coins, three hundred coins and one stone!"
Menshikov continued to wave, with no expression on his face, but he was already overjoyed in his heart.
Why?
The price of food among the people has reached twelve rubles per stone! But it must be clear that these grains are for private use!
What about military rations?
Tsarist Russia has been at war for a long time and has a huge demand for military rations. Menshikov, if he manipulates it casually, his profit from the price of military rations will increase again! Three hundred coins...that is, five rubles, in his hands
If you spin around, it may be twenty rubles directly! What a huge profit margin!
but......
Menshikov, greed is still dissatisfied.
He looked at Qian Yonggui coldly and said calmly: "Two hundred coins, at most two hundred coins! And I can get as much as I want!"
"ah?"
Qian Yonggui was shocked by Menshikov's greed.
"this......"
He was sweating profusely: "Marshal, I need to go back and discuss with Mr. Zhu..."
"Hahahaha, okay!"
Menshikov was so happy. Seeing that he had obtained a large amount of wealth, he became generous and vowed: "Don't worry, go back and tell your Lord Zhu that when our tsarist Russia conquers your capital, I can still do it."
Guarantee that high-ranking officials will give him a generous salary!"
"Thank you Marshal, thank you Marshal!"
Qian Yonggui was grateful and kowtowed before leaving.
Wait until he leaves.
The servant on the side took a deep breath and reminded: "Marshal, could this be a trap by Long Yan?"
Menshikov smiled coldly: "These Han people are really good at conspiracy. But recently, the reputation of Liu Shilang in Longyan is really that everyone is shouting about it, and no one can stand it...
"
The servant nodded.
Although they are far away in Tsarist Russia, they should have also heard about the recent various manipulations of Liu Shilang in Long Yan. What is the redistribution of territory, what is private ownership, what is constitutional monarchy, and what is the reform of writing. In addition,
The continuous defeats in this northwest battlefield have caused anger and resentment in Long Yan's country.
His position in Longyan was already in jeopardy.
Scholar-bureaucrat Zhu Zhen has an opinion, and he is sure of it.
"However, we still have to pay close attention to his movements! In addition, check what kind of person this Qian Yonggui is in Long Yan!"
