The Changping position has been opened, which is a little different from the past.
Because of an official who was killed, the opening of the position this time was different from the past.
Grain purchase by ticket has been implemented for two or three months, and those in Bianliang have become accustomed to it. They only need to purchase enough rations for one month at a time.
But this time, even though I knew the position would be open for ten days, I lined up early to wait.
On the first day, it was a crowded scene.
Those carrying burdens, those riding donkeys, those dragging children and women, those using oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages, the entire official road of Changpingcang almost reached the inner city.
Of course, not all Bianliang people come to buy old grain from Changpingcang...
The grains in Changpingcang, which are eaten by rats and eaten by insects, are equal parts sand and rice grains, are not favored by those wealthy households.
Even those well-to-do families who can afford to pay a hundred wen per bucket have no intention of competing with these Kuhaha... Wasn't there a story about a bucket of rice and a hundred bucks in Bianliang City a few days ago? They have already robbed enough.
In fact, in Bianliang City today, Zhao Xi estimates that all the food combined is enough for the past two years.
This is not to mention the constant flow of grain transport ships in Bianliang, let alone the transportation volume on the track.
The reason why he hasn't launched it yet is because he wants to blow the bubble bigger and amplify their greed... This way, it will hurt more in the end.
Of course, if you can make some money through this process, including allowing the court to make some money, that is all incidental.
Could it be by accident?
If the exchange of old and new currency is like scraping the skin, this time it can really be called flesh-cutting.
Food has always been a hard commodity, a hard commodity that will never depreciate in value. No matter how much you hoard, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it out...
Hehe, you will know when the time comes.
Chang Pingcang is still fifty cents, and you can buy grain with a ticket, no matter how young or old you are... This is deceiving, and the grain itself is considered deceiving.
During the ten days of stocking grain in Changping Granary, all the shops that had grain for sale a few days ago had no grain for sale.
Even the grain merchants have not increased their prices in the past ten days. They seem to have dropped a little... one hundred and twenty coppers per bucket.
Ten days is almost here. When those Kuhaha have prepared enough rations for a month, it’s time to close the Changping warehouse.
However……
The imperial court and the Kaifeng Prefecture decided at the same time to extend the opening time of Changping Granary and prepare to sell out all the grain stored in Changping Granary in order to replace it with new grain.
This is the best way Fu Bi thought of to reduce the weight of the black pot...replacing new grains, this is also true.
As for prices, bargaining is carried out. In other words, the prices follow the market. This does not mean that the prices are the same as the market prices. In view of the quality of the Changpingcang grains, the prices are lower than the market prices.
This edict was sent to the three places experiencing drought: Gyeonggi Province, Jingzhao Prefecture, and Hebei Province, all of which opened Changping warehouses to sell grain.
"Is this coming?"
Han Qi asked his son to stay at Fangchengshan Station for a month, just to find out the capacity of the track...
Alas, if I had known that I would also be involved in the track... Anyway, this is just the first one, the Hebei Road track, I can always get involved.
As long as one understands the rail's capacity, anyone can see how big of a business opportunity this is.
This is equivalent to another Bian River, but a Bian River with exclusive rights.
As a former husband-in-law, he knew very well how the trade between the country and the dynasty was, the trade of goods between the north and the south, the ships traveling throughout the Bian River...
He no longer thinks about food. The food shortage is gone, the victims are gone, and those greedy families will be spanked by His Highness the Crown Prince again, which will be very painful.
The chief officials of the prefectures and counties came to complain to him as if they were concerned about the country and the people. Han Qi looked upset... If you can't suppress your joyful heart, don't come to my place to sing!
In a word, follow the imperial edict without delay, otherwise Han Qi would not mind being the second Wu Kui, and the imperial court's killing without mercy has not been cancelled.
Eighty cents per dou! This is the negotiated price of grain in Changpingcang. Compared with the market price, the grain price has risen to one hundred and fifty cents per dou. Even if there is some sand, it is still reasonable.
"Erlang, do you want to buy it?"
"I won't go, I don't have the money left! My third son went to see it. There is a notice in Changpingcang. Next month, it will be fifty cents as usual, and the court will release new grain."
"But I heard from those merchants that there is no new grain in Bianliang."
"Why is there no new grain? My second uncle is working at the dock, and I see the grain ship coming ashore..."
Such conversations are taking place in every corner of Bianliang City, with the most entanglements and hesitations at this time.
"Third Grandpa, I heard that all the merchants have gone to Changpingcang to buy grain. There are large groups of carriages. They are trying to buy our grain!"
"Er boy, don't yell! What did you buy? Didn't the court say there is new grain? They bought the old grain, and we can get new grain next month."
The problem is that no one knows whether there is any new grain.
"Third Grandpa, is there any new food in Bianliang?"
"Yes, the officials will not ignore the people, and the princes will not ignore the people either."
To encourage myself, I am determined not to rob Changpingcang of food.
But on the entire road leading to Changpingcang, there were always people watching, watching the merchants happily buying the grain from Changpingcang and driving away in large and small cars... This is all because of my hard life.
Human rations!
Zhao Xi still underestimated the greed of this group of people. He thought that Chang Pingcang would be emptied of old grains like Chang Pingcang, even if they intended to expose the imperial court.
No matter what, I should be able to hold on for more than ten days.
Unexpectedly, it only took three days. It seemed that the Changping warehouse was emptied without leaving any room for the court to react.
When the Changping warehouse was being emptied, someone shouted: There is no food in the Changping warehouse!
Or just keep shouting all the way...
Are you so anxious to seek death?
"Your Highness, I thought they might have stored too much food..."
Is there too much food in stock? I also have too much food in stock here.
In the year of disaster, the snack business is not good, and all the snack shops in Bianliang City are filled with rice.
Even the barracks in the guard camp are full of food.
Including Jingzhao Prefecture and Hebei Province, all the six shops now have space to store food.
Zhao Xi is almost running out of space to store them.
Whatever, let’s get started!
"Zizheng, you go to the political affairs hall, see the rich prime minister, and rush to Hebei Province with the imperial edict."
"First go to the Forbidden Army camp, mobilize the elite soldiers trained in the guard camp according to the Privy Council's order, and rush to Daming Mansion to see Mr. Han."
"Hebei Province matters will be presided over by Mr. Han!"
"Zirong, if you and Zizheng are together, you can rush to Jingzhao Mansion!"
"Uncle Jie, divide the transportation team into three groups, and with my order, go to all the grain storage stores in the three places. After Zizheng and Zi arrive at their places, quickly transport the grain to Changping warehouses in various places."
"In addition, at Mao hour five days later, all the stores will put the grain in place and sell it at a uniform price of fifty cents per dou, which will be reduced to thirty cents per dou three days later."
"Ming Zhong, mobilize some rail carriages, load half cabins, and send grain to the prefectures and counties in the three places. Remember to open the hatches so that everyone can see the grain."
