Chapter 50: Grain and rice trading, hidden strategies
After waiting outside the city for about a quarter of an hour, he saw a long fire dragon slowly approaching. When the fire dragon got closer, Xi Ming finally saw clearly that it was actually a convoy of dozens of large vehicles. .Each cart is loaded with grain and rice, and is hung with wind flags with the word "Sheng" printed on it.
"Shopkeeper Xi, just ask someone to receive the grain and rice! As for the money, we will wait until tomorrow to calculate it." Wu Ming said with a smile.
Xi Ming thanked him, and then asked the boy to lead the huge convoy to the back door of his grain shop! The carts of grain and rice were inspected, and sure enough, they were all high-quality rice. The quantity was not the same at all. Yes, it is exactly the eight thousand stones that Wu Ming mentioned.
It took more than an hour until daybreak before all the grain and rice were moved into the grain store. Naturally, the large trucks and workers were resting in the grain store and waited until it got dark before leaving the city. .
After erasing the small change, a total of 30,000 taels of silver notes were obtained. After the delivery was completed, both parties were happy.
After another banquet, Wu Ming and a group of waiters who were delivering grain and rice went to rest, while other grain shop owners gathered at Xi Ming's house again.
Looking at the mountains of white rice, everyone was beaming with joy. After all, the rice in front of them could bring them huge wealth as long as it changed hands.
"The Sheng family is really powerful, with tens of thousands of grains and rice. It's a business that's not worth mentioning. I don't know when we will be able to be so prosperous!" Someone said with envy.
Xi Ming laughed and said, "Old Ma, if we can continue to make money like this, we can't even think about catching up with the Sheng family. However, it is easy to double our net worth. This time, if we don't make enough, how can we be worthy of it?" Are we all working hard?"
"Moreover, just now, the county magistrate just sent me a message! As of now, all the money in Baijin Tower has been consumed!"
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but change their expressions. The reason why they did this was for Baijinlou's money. If Baijinlou had no money to buy food, then everything they did would be meaningless.
However, Xi Ming continued to laugh and said: "However, Baijinlou has already reported it to the Shao family. It is said that the Shao family has sent people to bring hundreds of thousands of taels of money. It is estimated that in a few days, the money will be Then you can go to Shanyin."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was not only relieved, but also overjoyed. How is the money in Baijinlou different from their money? The money was just given to them in another hand.
"So, aren't we just preparing these grains and rice for the Baijin Tower?" one person said. Suddenly, the others laughed out loud!
"This time, we will still follow the previous price, five taels and one stone! Let Baijinlou buy it!"
"Five taels? Dream on! We only had a little capital before, but now our capital is nearly 4 taels! How can we make it if we don't sell it for 78 taels?"
"In my opinion, even if it's ten taels and one stone, Baijinlou will have to hold its nose and accept it. Otherwise, not only will their previous expenses be in vain, but they will also get a bad name! Although hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are a lot of money, but It’s nothing more than that for the Shao family…”
A group of people talked to each other, as if the great wealth had already arrived in front of their eyes!
At night, the previous group of guys took advantage of the darkness to drive away in carts, and another long convoy quietly entered the mountain shade!
Every grain store in the city is dreaming of making a fortune, and the situation of the victims outside the city is gradually stabilizing.
Now, the number of victims has exceeded one hundred thousand. Fortunately, under the management of Shen Tang and others, there have been no more troubles. The food problem has been solved. The Shao family is powerful, and the first batch of thousands The grains and rice had already arrived, and almost at the same time, the grains and rice prepared by Lu Shaoweng and others also began to be shipped to Shanyin in large quantities.
As for the news received in the city, it was just the plan of Shen Tang, Wei Xun and others. The Wu Ming who went to sell grain was Teng Wu!
Of course, the token of the Sheng family is real, and even Teng Wu's statement is also true. The Sheng family and the Shao family are indeed making a deal, and the secret power between the two families does exist. But the large amount of grain and rice, But it was all brought here by Lu Shaoweng and the Shao family.
This kind of matter where human life is at stake, the grain dealers did not care about the crazy price increase, which has long made Shen Tang secretly resentful. Now that he finally has a chance, why not teach them a lesson? Just sell to them 20,000 to 30,000 grains and rice, and when the time comes it will be announced that a large amount of grains and rice have arrived. Then, the money they will lose will be enough to break their muscles or even bankrupt their entire fortune.
In addition to the food issue having been resolved, Lu Shaoweng also brought another good news to Shen Tang.
He has already reported it to the imperial court, and the imperial court is not slow in its actions. Not only has it issued an official document, but some disaster relief materials have also begun to be allocated to Wuzhou. It is estimated that in another ten days and a half, Wuzhou will issue a letter to Shaoxing Prefecture to let the government Local and state governments cooperated to repatriate the victims.
Yexiao was not without any worries about the future of the victims. However, this matter was beyond his power. After all, no matter how powerful he was, he could not continue to support the 100,000 victims in front of him. Although the Southern Song Dynasty was weak , but the power of a country, no matter how weak it is, cannot be matched by one person.
During this period of time, in addition to the disaster victims, Shen Tang was also thinking about his own future and many things that he had forgotten in his memory.
A disaster and the deaths of countless victims finally reminded him that he was currently in the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago.
Although, in the long history, the Song Dynasty was synonymous with prosperity. However, truly living in this era will make people feel helpless and sad. The majestic Song Dynasty and the majestic China have now lost half of their country. Large areas of The territory was occupied by the Liao Kingdom, and the lives of countless people were even more miserable than the victims in front of them. Even the dignified emperors could only live in peace in Lin'an!
From now on, the Southern Song Dynasty, which has lasted for hundreds of years, will be completely crushed to pieces by the iron hoof of the Jin Kingdom, and all Chinese and Han people will be reduced to slaves, pigs and dogs!
How should I do it? In other words, even if I want to do something, can I really succeed in front of this huge wheel of history?
"Cousin Shen!"
Just when Shen Tang was frowning alone, Cheng Yuhu's voice suddenly sounded.
"Xiao Wu is back!" Following a few messy footsteps, two figures appeared in front of Shen Tang! The leader was naturally Cheng Yuhu, and following him was Zhou Xuan, who was with Xi Ming and others in the city. Wu Ming!
"Brother Shen!" The excited Teng Wu first escaped from his arms and handed a thick stack of silver notes to Shen Tang, and then said excitedly: "Just now, the fourth batch of food has been handed over to them! Every day A batch of grain is eight thousand dan, totaling 121,600 taels!"
