After hearing Xu Qing's words, many grain merchants felt excited!
What does 40% represent?
If the price is reduced by 40%, they will make no profit at all!
It's like they spent a lot of time transporting the grain, taking into account the rent of the warehouse and manpower that was lost on the road, and then they sold it at a price that was 40% lower than the normal price. All their efforts were in vain!
Can't make a penny!
And those small grain merchants will even lose some money in it!
All their hard work in the past month has been in vain!
Shopkeeper Song looked at Xu Qing and said, "Forty percent is too much... Military advisor, what do you think of 30%?"
If it sells for 30%, the Song family can still make some hard-earned money, but if it sells for 40%, they really won't make any money at all!
Xu Qing said: "Does Shopkeeper Song still want to sell grain?"
"This..." Shopkeeper Song was suddenly speechless.
Xu Qing looked at everyone and said: "If you think this price is low, then I won't buy it. You can spend it here. My price is this and will not change. If you think it is unacceptable, then
You can leave now, go out and turn right, it’s easy to leave without seeing you off.”
Shopkeeper Song looked at Xu Qing and argued, "Military advisor, seeing that we have gone through so much trouble to transport food to help the victims, can't you really raise the price any more?"
Xu Qing said, "If grain from Chu and Zhou had not come in, would you have lowered the price? I will give you a cup of tea to consider. If someone is willing to sell it at a 40% discount, I will buy it. If you are not willing to sell, you can leave."
Okay, that’s all I’ve said.”
After Xu Qing finished speaking, a small grain merchant finally spoke quickly: "Strategic Advisor! Reduce the price by 40%! We'll sell it!"
With this grain merchant taking the lead, other small grain merchants responded one after another and expressed their willingness to sell at a price lower than 40%.
Nowadays, they have no hope of making any money from these sales. As long as they don't go bankrupt and jump off the tower, they will be satisfied.
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Okay, tell me how much grain you have. I have to count it. Our granary space is also limited, so we have to squeeze out the space to collect your grain. If it is full, we will not collect it."
.”
The grain merchants present immediately panicked after hearing the news. They originally wanted to argue first, but they couldn't argue and then sell the goods at 40% lower than the par price.
But what did the military advisor just say?
They don't collect unlimited grain. Once the granary is full, they won't collect it!
So much of the Li family's food was sold to the rebels. There must be little room left in the granary. If the food is full, they will really be waiting for a trapeze show!
After Xu Qing said this, these grain merchants finally couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to register with Xu Qing.
There were even a few big grain dealers who were worried that Xu Qing, who had just been rebellious, would not be able to get a place at the back of the queue, so they directly raised the price and even if it was reduced by 45%, they all bought it!
They have a lot of food. If these small grain merchants are full of their share in the military strategist's granary, they will cry!
When Xu Qing heard someone shouting that he would sell everything at a 45% discount, Xu Qing almost jumped up with joy. Four percent achievement was already in vain or a loss, and 45% would definitely be a big loss!
But it doesn’t matter whether these grain merchants are losing money or not, as long as Xu Qing makes a profit!
Seeing the large quantities of grain being transported into the granary, Long Bing'er breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time felt happy again, and returned to the check-in room with peace of mind.
It turns out that rebellion is not just about leading troops to fight, but also facing so many problems.
At this moment, Long Bing'er realized how far behind her own wisdom was compared to Xu Qing.
This food crisis has developed to this day, not only providing the rebels with an endless supply of cheap food, but also making a huge profit in military expenses.
It seems that any difficulty will be turned into an opportunity to make a fortune in his eyes.
To put it bluntly, any country that raises such a person is equivalent to raising a God of Wealth.
If she hadn't wanted to take revenge by destroying the Zhao imperial court and had not dared to have children in recent years, Long Bing'er would have really wanted to repay Xu Qing by giving him a child as cute as Xiao Ning'er.
Xu Qing walked to Long Bing'er's check-in room and found that Long Bing'er was lowering her head and playing with a strand of hair hanging on her chest. Xu Qing had never seen such a girlish attitude before.
When Long Bing'er realized that Xu Qing was coming, she immediately suppressed the strangeness in her heart and felt embarrassed by the ridiculous idea just now.
How could I have such an idea in broad daylight?
Long Bing'er looked at Xu Qing and said, "Have you finished harvesting the grain?"
Xu Qing said: "In three days, our granaries will be full. Shuzhou will not be short of food. The recruitment is also quite smooth. We have recruited 30,000 recruits in one month. General Zhao is still training."
Long Bing'er said: "Unfortunately, the number of troops is still too small, and the recruitment speed is still a bit slow."
Xu Qing nodded and said: "This is normal. We don't recruit strong men like other armies, but recruit them upright. The speed is naturally a bit slow, but as long as we win the next battle, let
After the people of Zhao State see our strength, our team will grow rapidly. This month, the Chu State has talked from heaven to earth. It can no longer be delayed. Bing'er, you must be prepared to start the war in half a month.
preparation."
Long Bing'er nodded and said, "I have been waiting for this battle for a long time. After fighting this battle, it means that we have the ability to truly compete with the imperial court."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, according to my deduction, we won't be able to gain a foothold in Zhao State after this battle, but at least we can gain a foothold in Shuzhou and completely control Shuzhou, and then recharge our batteries and absorb all parties."
Force, unite all forces that can be united, and divide the Zhao court from within."
"Today, the Zhao Dynasty is no longer dominated by Qin Xiang's family, because King Ming's fake contract and Qin Hui's attitude towards She Zhao in recent years have made Emperor Zhao very unhappy. We can capture the city and land and then spend a lot of money to conquer the Zhao Dynasty.
The church has cultivated a political force that belongs to us. Of course, this large sum of money must be much smaller than the military expenditure invested, and it is also very cost-effective."
After Long Bing'er heard the words "Qin Xiang", her eyes narrowed and she said, "Without him, Emperor Zhao would have no excuse to attack my father! He is more hateful than Emperor Zhao! One day I will
Make him pay a thousand times the price!"
At this time, Long Bing'er's whole body was filled with a chill from the inside out.
Seeing this, Xu Qing held Long Bing'er's hands and said, "Believe me, this day will not be too far away. When we capture the capital of Zhao State, you can just skin him and make him grass."
