The divine descendants of the Central Earth Imperial Clan have spread and multiplied for thousands of years, and strong men have emerged in large numbers. Clans born from the blood relationship of strong men have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and there are many large and small forces;
And among the many clans, there are also many hills. Clans and families are still born, and each has its own interests and demands.
Take the Jiang family behind Jiang Wuxu as an example. Jiang Gong's lineage in the Jiang Kingdom is the most powerful clan of the Jiang family. Jiang Wuxu is a direct descendant of Jiang Gong's lineage, so he can get strong support from Jiang Gong;
However, the Jiang family is not from the Jiang Gong lineage of the Jiang Kingdom. There are seven other vassal states, forming the eight major clans of the Jiang family. Among them, the descendants of the Jiang family have gone their separate ways to make a living in various countries in Middle-earth, creating various clans, large and small.
, family forces are intertwined.
Jiang Wuxu only received support from some of the Jiang clan's countries, and other families also had their own supporters. It was like raising Gu, the winner took all and got the greatest support.
Before a winner is decided, brothers of the same clan are strong contenders.
It can be said that this time, the heroes from China are exploring the southern barbarians, and competition is everywhere from the inside out.
When it comes to great disputes, there are the Southern Barbarian kingdoms and the Southern Wilderness kingdoms headed by Xi, Wu, Chuyue;
When it comes to the dispute in China, there are descendants of various imperial clans and ancient clans in China;
When it comes to small disputes, there are brothers and sisters from the same clan, and there are many talented people;
It can be said that Jiang Wuxu, Gongsun Wu and others may seem to have the same reputation, but secretly they are extremely anxious. Among other things, food has now become an important material that the descendants of the gods of the major imperial clans in China are competing for.
In a seller's market where demand exceeds supply, as long as there are goods, you don't have to worry about sales, no matter how unprecedented or domineering the selling method is!
"Marquis Xi, how much will the price of grain be in half a year?"
Jiang Wuxu and Gongsun Wu thought carefully for a long time, and after some difficult consideration, they were still moved.
The three armies have not moved, and food is on the way first.
If you want to open up the Southern Wilderness and make a career, food is indispensable. Without food, there will be no people!
These days, due to the influx of divine descendants from the Central-Turk Imperial Clan, the price of food in the Southern Wilderness has been soaring.
In the past, the price of grain in the Southern Wilderness was around one stone and ten knives for a long time. One tael of gold (about one thousand knives) could buy one hundred dan. In the past two years, the grain output of the Xi Kingdom has hit new highs repeatedly, and the local grain supply has exceeded
Due to demand, food prices have dropped a lot. One stone of rice can be purchased for seven or eight knives.
However, starting from the autumn and winter of last year, the price of food in the Xi Kingdom and even in the Southern Wilderness countries has quietly increased, soaring from seven knives per stone, doubling, and the price has risen to fourteen dollars per stone.
In the past half month since the beginning of spring, grain prices have been changing day by day. The price suddenly exceeded the 20 mark. Compared with last year, it has more than doubled. Moreover, there is still a price but no market, and there is no grain to buy.
This is also the reason why a group of imperial descendants gathered in Xidu, if for no other reason than to buy food from Xiguo.
The people of Xi Kingdom were very excited and wanted to make this big money. They sold all the surplus grain at home to exchange for money. However, there were too many people buying grain, and the demand exceeded the supply. These days, there was no grain to sell in the grain markets of the major cities in Xi Capital.
Under this situation, they are really short of food. The loss of food transported from the Central Plains is too great. They can buy food locally in the Southern Wasteland, even if the price is higher, they are happy.
Even if they take risks and are suspected of being cheated, they are still willing to try.
Seeing that Jiang Wuxu and Gongsun Wu were indeed interested in futures, Yao Yun immediately smiled with satisfaction, took a sip of tea, and said: "Both of you, the grain in the next six months is called futures, or forward commodities.
, the Guhui has specially set up a bank to sell grain deeds. After you buy the deeds, you can trade with each other. However, the deeds for private transactions are not recognized. You need to register the transfer with the bank. When the new grain is on the market, you can take these deeds and
The bank delivers the grain."
Jiang Wuxu and Gongsun Wu were definitely the elites among the elites in the Xia Dynasty. They were knowledgeable and well-informed, but they were confused at this moment, half understanding.
"Xihou, I didn't quite understand what you said. How much is the price of food?"
Yao Yun smiled and was used to the confusion on the two people's faces. In fact, he didn't know what he had done. At first glance, it looked like futures trading in later generations, but in fact it was not, it could only be regarded as forward trading.
Therefore, what Yao Yun established for this purpose was not a futures market, but a bank. The grain deeds he sold were more like selling a special monetary commodity - grain stamps.
"In the first batch of grain deeds, the price of grain is set according to the current market price. As for the future, I don't know."
"Twenty dollars for one stone of grain? Xihou, you are stealing it openly! Now everyone is rushing to grab it, so the price is high. Half a year later, new grain will be on the market, how can there be such a high price!"
Yao Yun knew these very well, and also knew that today’s food price is no longer twenty dollars, but twenty-two dollars. Of course, he did not delve into these issues, but smiled and said:
"Half a year later, there was indeed a bumper harvest of new grains. However, we are the only ones in the Xi Country that actually produce grain and have a large amount of surplus grain for sale. The other Southern Wilderness countries combined are not as good as us. And in the Xi Country, the grain exports alone have the final say.
If you don't sell it, no one can buy a single stone of grain from Xi State."
"this..."
Jiang Wuxu and Gongsun Wu were shocked. If Xihou hoarded grain and bought it at a high price, they really had nothing to do except transporting grain from the middle of the country. Nine out of ten would be lost. It is self-evident which one is more cost-effective.
Yao Yun nodded without saying much and said: "You two go back and think about it carefully. The futures market will start on the first day in three days. If you are interested, you can go and take a look."
Jiang Wuxu and Gongsun Wu nodded, thanked them and left.
...
After Jiang Wuxu and Gongsun Wu left, the second elder Wu Tong, Sun Muyue, Bald Long and others filed in.
The bald dragon looked outside the palace and asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, is there really a fool who spends a lot of money to buy a bunch of paper deeds?"
"It's not like I just painted a big pie, it's based on real things. The new grains of Xi Kingdom will be on the market half a year later. The entire Xia Dynasty knows why they don't buy it. This is called forward trading. I just put it in advance."
They took it out and sold it," Yao Yun said with a smile.
"If there is a disaster and there is no food harvest, who does it belong to?" the second elder said.
"Natural disasters are force majeure factors. There is a clause in the contract that clearly stipulates that the contract will be immediately invalidated and the consequences will be borne by them. However, as long as it is not a natural disaster or man-made disaster, I will fulfill the contract and deliver the grain to him. If I do not fulfill the contract, I will be responsible for the consequences."
The deed can be redeemed at the highest price." Yao Yun said with a smile.
Sun Muyue seemed to understand after hearing this, and asked: "Your Majesty, why did you do this? In this way, wouldn't we also have to bear the risk? Wouldn't it be better to sell the grain after half a year?"
Yao Yun smiled mysteriously and said: "This is an attempt by Gu Yuxi to rely on the sovereignty and reputation of the country. Once successful in the future, Xiguo will be able to turn future money into current money, and turn other people's money into
Your own money, tell me, what level of magical power does it have for the country and the country?"
As the Prime Minister of the country, Sun Muyue was most "short" of money. She was worried about lack of money every day. When she heard Yao Yun's words, she suddenly froze and blurted out:
