The ninth and twelfth chapter mountain man has his own plan
Ming Mo was worried that the paper would not be able to contain the fire, and that after the people knew about it, they would not be able to stop it.
Moreover, they misappropriated the food in the granary. If there is no food, how can they return it?
"Don't worry, the mountain man has his own clever plan!" Gu Chengyu had already thought of such a situation, so he leisurely picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Then Gu Chengyu sneered again and again, he couldn't afford it? Little did he know that the food in his space had already piled up like a mountain. When Gu Chengyu thought of this, he suddenly felt a little regretful.
What if the food in the space could be taken out? But he didn't dare to take risks. There were so many people and victims of the disaster, and they needed a lot of food.
How could such a large amount of food be taken out of space without attracting attention? Food cannot appear out of thin air, and people are not fools.
He admitted that he was selfish and would never put the safety of himself and his family at risk just because he felt pity for the victims.
After thinking for a while, he stood up, came to the desk, picked up a pen, and wrote a letter.
"Send someone to rush this letter to Hangtian Mansion and hand it over to Mr. Hu. In the next two days, you will go to other state capitals and bring back more grain trucks this time."
Gu Chengyu paced back and forth in the room and ordered Ming Mo.
Ming Mo was speechless. He brought back more grain trucks. He naturally understood what this meant.
"Sir! Do you really think they will be fooled? Let's do this so we don't end up shooting ourselves in the foot."
Because of the matter of buying food, Ming Mo was actually very flustered. No matter what, what was fake was fake after all, and he couldn't help but feel guilty!
"Just do it, what are you afraid of? If the sky falls, I will hold it up." Gu Chengyu rolled his eyes, what is there to worry about?
There is no turning back when you draw your bow. Now that you have taken the first step, no matter what the outcome is, you have to finish the journey even on your knees.
In fact, Gu Chengyu still suffered some losses from the local merchants. If they united to resist, his plan might not be able to keep up with the changes.
Don't these people just want to see who can outspend whom? Gu Chengyu doesn't have money, but they do! Gu Chengyu doesn't have food for the time being, but they do too!
Of course, Gu Chengyu couldn't let this matter drag on like this, because it would be very detrimental to Gu Chengyu. He had to find a way to achieve his goal earlier.
Gu Chengyu nodded his forehead and suddenly had a plan in mind.
Now that they have formed an alliance, what Gu Chengyu has to do is to spread them out and break through one by one.
"Last time you said that some of the big families in the city were not even ranked at the bottom of the family list, right?"
Mingmo nodded, "Indeed! Their family harvests much less food than the other three families."
Gu Chengyu was a little puzzled when he heard this. Strictly speaking, this family was not ranked among the big families in Yingnan Mansion.
Where does the family have the courage to collect so much grain this time? Even if the other party is desperate, they want to make a fortune by selling grain this time.
But with Gu Chengyu here today, isn't it scary to be at home? Can Mr. Ju still sit still?
The home family is not as big as the other three families. Even if the other three families lose money, it will not be a big deal. But the home family is different. I didn't expect his family to be so courageous.
While Gu Chengyu felt strange, he couldn't help but focus on his family.
The other party could not afford to lose as much as he did. He did not believe that Ju Haoming was not worried at all.
"I heard that there are many mulberry fields under their name, but their cloth shop has always been in a sluggish business?"
Gu Chengyu remembered that she seemed to have a cloth business at home, but she was a little breathless under the pressure of Xia.
"The Xia family has two cloth shops in Yingnan Fucheng, and the business has always been very good. Their cloth shops have a wide variety of cloths and the materials are good, so people still like to buy from the Xia family cloth shop. The family has always relied on the low prices,
Only in this way can we survive in the cracks. And some time ago, because of the continuous rain, the warehouse where they accumulated fabrics was soaked in water, and a lot of fabrics were lost. Among them, silk and satin materials accounted for the vast majority, and the quantity was very large."
Mingmo had already inquired about several companies that were hoarding rice grains. This family business not only included a cloth shop, but also opened two restaurants and a rice store.
Gu Chengyu suddenly realized that no wonder Ju Haoming was so crazy. It turned out to be because he had lost a lot of money some time ago.
We are not rich at home, and the silk and satin that has been soaked in water will easily turn yellow and develop spots. Those fabrics are probably no longer usable, otherwise Ju Haoming would not be so unscrupulous.
After all, compared with the other three families, the Ju family does not have much confidence.
Gu Chengyu suddenly raised the corners of his lips. Aren't these people going to fight with him? Then how could he disappoint them?
It was impossible for him to provide money to continue buying grain. He kept the money for use.
"Sir, do you think this family has lost so much money this time, yet it still has some money left over to buy food? It seems that this family's wealth is not poor!"
Mingmo clicked his tongue in surprise. He had heard that the loss of cloth this time was at least 80,000 taels.
"So he has to try his best to make money to make up for this loss! There is no need to think about it. There must be someone behind him. How dare he, a small businessman, to snatch food from the Xia family? Before today,
I'm afraid that the Xia family will also give him a lot of suffering."
Gu Chengyu snorted coldly, isn't it easy for Xia to deal with the family?
Besides, without the Xia family taking action, the other two families would not be able to sit still.
Anyway, this person who can harvest grain at home must not be a good man and woman by raising the price of grain to make a fortune. Even if Gu Chengyu plots against the other party, he has no burden in his heart.
"Sir, if we let all the cloth in his warehouse soak in water, then he will have no money. Not only will he no longer collect grain, but he will also have to sell the previous grain at a low price."
Ming Mo's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of a great idea.
"No! Don't they like to harvest grain? Then let them harvest it! The more they harvest, the better."
Gu Chengyu nodded. With so many victims needing to eat and drink, there really wasn't too much food. If someone could do it for him, why wouldn't he do it?
"As for soaking in water, you should stop thinking about it! Your master, am I the kind of dirty person? How can I do such a shameless thing? Not only can I not do it, I have to give it to the residents.
Haoming, please reduce the loss, I have always been so considerate."
Ming Mo was stunned. What was his master thinking? Could it be that he was confused by his sleep?
"Mingmo, go and inquire and see if the batch of materials at home has been sold? This material must have become a problem for Ju Haoming. I have to share some of the losses for him, right?"
Although Ming Mo was extremely confused, he did not ask. When it was time for him to know, he would let him know.
"Go and ask around to see if Xia is planning to purchase the grain from the other three companies this time?"
Gu Chengyu felt that with Xia's ambition, they would definitely not be willing to form alliances with other families. Their consistent goal was to dominate the family.
