Chapter 127: Force King Yuan Tiangang(1/2)
"Young Master, today's grain price is four cents and five cents per bull. If you buy more, you can give a discount." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"How much grain does your shop and granary have in total? I want to buy them all, how about?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"Young Master is joking. Although my shop is not big, it also has 10,000 stones of food. Could it be that the young master wants to empty the villain's shop?" said the shopkeeper slowly.
A hint of joke flashed in his eyes.
This ordinary person comes to buy food, at most one or two stones.
Even a large population group can only be a few hundred stones at most.
Buy this ten thousand stones of grain and feed it to the rice insects?
"If so, I will buy all of you ten thousand stones per bucket of rice, what if?" Zhao Chen smiled slightly.
The autumn harvest is coming soon, so the price of grain can naturally be suppressed.
The shopkeeper frowned and looked at Zhao Chen with some uncertainty.
"What the young master said is true, this is ten thousand stones!" the shopkeeper asked carefully.
The autumn harvest is coming soon.
He couldn't sell all his food, so he became old grain.
The price will definitely fall below four cents.
That's really a loss!
If the boy in front of him really...
The shopkeeper clenched his fists and was vaguely looking forward.
"Miss Ruoshuang, pay, Lao Cheng and Xiao Qin, go in and transport food!" Zhao Chen waved.
...
"What are you going to do?"
"So much food has been bought for people?"
"The autumn harvest is coming soon. The food is definitely not worth it. Why are there any fools thinking about storing grain?"
"This person is probably stupid and has a lot of money. There is no place to put the money. I'm thinking about storing grain to feed mice!"
In addition to the grain shop, Li Ruoshuang paid 10,000 stones of grain.
The shopkeeper immediately went to the warehouse to move grain with Cheng Chumo and others.
Ten thousand stones of grain, five hundred people, were loaded into truck after truck, and went straight to the warehouse where the saltpeter was stored before.
Fortunately, Zhao Chen later bought several yards next to the warehouse, but now he is not worried that he can't let go of the hundreds of thousands of stones of food.
However, seeing Zhao Chen buying grain on such a large scale, the people in the east city of Chang'an all looked strange.
Many people even thought that Zhao Chen was throwing money into the water.
Now the autumn harvest is coming soon. Now that the food is stored, it is all old food.
Few people want this when sold.
I guess in the end, I can only use it to feed the horses!
Chang'an City, Xingyang Zheng's Mansion.
The last time Zheng He made the head of the Zheng family scold him for buying ice.
Zheng He was ordered not to show up for the old man's birthday party.
So the old man would not be angry with this bastard Zheng He to death.
In the past month, Zheng He has had a hard time.
The uncles and peers at home use this matter to mock him from time to time!
This made Zheng He not even dare to go out on weekdays.
"Boss, good news!" The butler in gorgeous clothes ran in excitedly and shouted to Zheng He.
Zheng He frowned and felt immediately unhappy.
When he bought ice cubes last time, he also said it was good news.
But what is the result?
I bought ice cubes sold in the palace at twice the price.
Li Shimin took all the advantages.
He, Zheng He, was almost swept out by the Zheng family in Xingyang!
Good news?
It's better to say it's news that kills him.
"The boss, it's really good news. A fool came to Dongshi. At this time, he collected grain on a large scale!" Seeing that Zheng He didn't answer, the housekeeper knew that he was still complaining about the last incident.
He took the initiative to explain to Zheng He.
"It's really a fool to store grain at this time!" Zheng He showed a strange look on his face.
This year, the entire Tang Dynasty has not heard of any disaster.
Isn’t this something that only fools do?
"That's right? That fool was in Dongshi. He bought 10,000 s of grain in one go, and he was transported away on the spot."
"I heard that now that fool is still thinking about buying food!"
"Boss, you said, the grains in our warehouse..." The butler looked at Zheng He and whispered.
The Zheng family in Xingyang has multiple grain warehouses in Chang'an City.
The food piled up inside was at least tens of thousands of stones.
If you keep it in it all year round, it will probably be broken if you don’t use it.
Now that there is such an opportunity, the butler thinks that Zheng He should not miss it.
Anyway, I can’t finish all these foods here. If I don’t sell them now, they will either break or the prices will plummet.
If you sell it now, you can at least make a market price.
Since there are fools who are willing to provide them with the best reasons, this matter...
"Now the weather inside and outside Chang'an City is good, the food prices are stable, and the autumn harvest is imminent, and there is actually someone garrisoning grain. It's really funny."
"Why don't you do this? Go to the other families to ask. If they are willing, you can hand over all the grain in the warehouse to my Zheng family in Xingyang."
"We sold all this food to this fool, and only charged one cent per stone!" Zheng He was happy and had an idea.
In this way, he could not only sell the grain in Zheng's warehouse, but also earn a handling fee.
Zheng He thinks that his idea is very good.
Anyway, they will definitely not lose money if they buy food now!
"That old servant went to the other houses to ask?" asked the butler.
"No, I'll go in person!" Zheng He smiled.
...
As dusk approaches, Li Shimin finishes government affairs.
When I walked out of the imperial study, I saw the wind and clouds in the sky.
I thought, as Zhao Chen said, there will be heavy rain today?
"Your Majesty, are you going to the Taishi Bureau?" Wei Zheng came over and asked Li Shimin.
In fact, Wei Zheng felt that it was no big problem whether he or she would go to the Taishi Bureau now.
Can it rain in this weather?
He just wanted to ask the emperor to find Zhao Chen and get the money back now.
In the morning court today, Fang Xuanling asked him when he would have dinner!
If this is in a few days, it will not be hidden.
Moreover, he had just heard people talking about a fool who was buying food in the east city of Chang'an.
Wei Zheng didn't have to think about it, it must be Zhao Chen.
He just thought now that before Zhao Chen lost the 20,000 yuan, he could still leave some of it for him.
"Go and have some things to do, I have to ask Yuan Tiangang!" Li Shimin nodded.
Taishi Bureau.
There is a stargazing prison inside.
When Li Shimin and Wei Zheng came here, they did not inform others.
