Before coming, Yun Chao had asked Wu Deli whether there were still five or six hundred shi of grain in the grain store.
When the grain was sold out, Wu Deli was completely numb because he could no longer get new grain.
In order to build up his reputation and prevent a large number of people in the city from going bankrupt, Yun Chao did not hesitate to make less money and reduced the sky-high price of grain from three to four liang to one stone to two taels of silver to one stone.
Of course, it is limited and each household can only buy one bucket.
If you want to buy more and save it, or even resell it, don’t even think about it.
There are more than 10,000 people in the county, which means there are about 2,000 households. Each family is limited to purchasing one bushel of "affordable" grain, which is enough if they have about 200 shi of grain.
Yun Chao sold grains worth more than three taels of silver per stone for only two hundred taels of silver per stone, and limited the sales to two hundred stones, which meant he only made a loss of two hundred taels.
This is nothing compared to Yun Chao's current huge financial expenditure.
With two hundred or so taels of silver, he could not only stabilize the situation in Qingyang County, but also help the poor people who were about to go bankrupt. He could also make a name for himself, and at the same time, he could also create obstacles for his competitors. Only a fool would not do this to achieve multiple goals with one stone.
Of course, Chief Feng and Ding Xiancheng were not fools. The reason why they did not do this was because it was not necessary.
Why lower the price when you can make more money?
Anyway, there are only these few grain stores in Qingyang County. If you like to buy them or not, you will be put down if you don’t.
No matter how many people starve to death, it is all the responsibility of Magistrate Sun, and he has something to do with them!
Yun Chao is different. He plans to use Qingyang County as a base for development. He cannot let the people go bankrupt, let alone let Qingyang County's economy collapse.
However, Yunchao would not be taken advantage of, and would use purchase restrictions to directly prevent people from hoarding.
Moreover, Yunchao is sold on a family basis. In this way, those large households cannot let their servants buy grain, because the servants do not have household stamps.
What if one bucket of food is not enough for the whole family?
Easy to handle.
There are no restrictions on high-priced grains. As long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want.
Yun Chao is not stupid. If you have money, you won't be a bastard.
If you are really poor, you can barely live on a bucket of grain for the time being.
If you want to live a good life, then I'm sorry, just take money.
It is true that Yun Chao wants to help the poor people tide over the difficulties, but he does not intend to be a saint. People cannot afford food, and it is not his responsibility. If you have the money, go to Master Feng and Ding Xian Cheng. If you don’t, go to him. They can only endure hunger.
If you really can't survive, have you considered the construction sites in Wolong Village and Sanshui Town?
A lazy guy who neither wants to spend money nor contribute will definitely be of no use in the future, so Yun Chao will let him die.
As for what to do if the stored grain is sold out?
Easy to handle.
There is still a lot of food in Woniu Mountain. There is no need to transport it to Wolong Village and Sanshui Town. It can be transported directly here.
Yunchao is not short of food for the time being. With Wu Deli's purchase channel, he can buy food from other places at any time.
Moreover, Yun Chao has a big plan to make Chief Feng and Ding Xian Cheng suffer a huge loss!
…
The news that Wu's Grain Store had changed owners quickly reached the ears of interested people.
Those self-aware small forces immediately gave up their coveting of the Wu family grain store as soon as they heard that Yun Er of Wolong Village had taken over the grain store.
Yun Er of Wolong Village is so easy to mess with. He dares to kill even the housekeeper of Chief Feng. Who dares to stroke his beard?
Chief Feng and Dingxian Cheng did not accept that.
After the two guys heard about it, they were all furious!
Who do you think you are, Yun Er!
I'm a poor guy who got lucky and got a job as a patrol inspector. Instead of hiding in the countryside to have some fun, I actually came out and jumped around. I'm so impatient!
Especially Chief Feng.
I was so angry that I pulled off a lot of my beard.
Butler Feng was his son, and he had played with him since childhood. Even Butler Feng’s wife was the maid he was tired of playing with. Unexpectedly, he died on the street, in the clouds!
Looking at the old maid who was kneeling in front of her, hugging her thigh and shouting at the sky and the earth, who was Butler Feng's wife, Master Feng felt indescribably disgusted... ahem, angry.
Yun Er, Yun Er, last time you jumped up and down at Xiahou Bo's house, I didn't have the same experience as you. I didn't expect you to go even worse and even killed my people. You think I am easy to bully, right?
"Come here, prepare a sedan chair and go to the Cheng family in Ding County."
…
Unlike Chief Feng, Dingxian Cheng was not a local official. He was the Zuo Erguan sent by the imperial court to Qingyang County to balance and supervise the county magistrate, and was also the second-in-command in the county.
However, Prime Minister Ding came earlier than Magistrate Sun and was more sophisticated than Magistrate Sun, so he had a deeper foundation in Qingyang County than Magistrate Sun.
In order to confront the county magistrate, Chief Feng and other local officials in Qingyang County got closer to Dingxian Cheng.
There are actually three forces in the officialdom of Qingyang County: Magistrate Sun, Prime Minister Ding, and local officials such as Chief Feng.
Dingxian Cheng was very enthusiastic when he learned that Chief Feng was visiting.
They were making tea and preparing for a banquet. Those who didn't know it thought it was their uncle who had been separated for many years.
However, as soon as Director Feng mentioned the matter of the grain store, Dingxian Cheng would be careless and talk about him, talking about him in random directions.
No one could tell that not long ago this man was furious about Yun Chao, throwing cups and kicking stools.
Chief Feng was so angry that he almost lifted the table.
Old fox, it’s not your housekeeper who dares to die in love, and it’s not your face that’s being lost!
It's a pity that Chief Feng didn't dare to fall out with Ding Xiancheng after much luck.
Now is the time to unite and deal with the outside world. It is unwise to start a fight with the Prime Minister of Ding County.
According to Chief Feng’s idea, now is the time to join forces with Ding County Cheng to put pressure on County Magistrate Sun, forcing him to remove Yun Chao from his post of inspection and even send Yun Chao to prison!
Who would have thought that Dingxian Cheng, an old fox, is not righteous at all, as if he doesn’t own a grain store, but just wants to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight, you are so stupid!
He came in good spirits but returned in disgrace. Master Feng left in a sulk.
He knew that with his own strength, he could not force Magistrate Sun to punish Yun Chao.
He had already heard about Yun Chao's sale of a thousand shi of grain to County Magistrate Sun.
The person whose surname is Sun now wants to use Yunchao, and there is no way he will give in because of his own pressure.
As for letting the Yamen's servants arrest Zhang Sihai and avenge his housekeeper.
Chief Feng didn't do that at all.
After Wu County Lieutenant died, the government officials had taken refuge with County Magistrate Sun and did not listen to his chief secretary Feng at all.
Besides, they are all thousand-year-old foxes. Even if Master Feng thinks with his butt, he knows that it is impossible to catch Zhang Sihai.
It's useless even if the government officials are obedient, and their departure will be in vain.
Straight bitch, I never thought that this guy Yun Er would be so difficult to deal with!
No, you have to deal with it even if it’s not easy to deal with, otherwise no one in Qingyang County will take me as the chief bookkeeper seriously in the future!
What Chief Feng didn't know was that while he was racking his brains to think of a way to deal with Yun Chao, Ding County Cheng, whom he had just scolded as an old fox, was also preparing to implement a big plan!
