Tao Donghai shouted: "I didn't lie, Yan Qi, please stop adding fuel to the fire."
Yan Qi looked disdainful: "Think about it, everyone, the Tao family's food is shipped from Japan. What can Japan do with such a poor place? There is not much food at all, not enough, not enough. Don't believe Tao Donghai's words. That’s just an excuse.”
Everyone became excited again and cursed Tao Donghai angrily.
Tao Donghai was so angry that he blurted out: "Who said the food is not enough? I have ten warehouses of food. It is enough. It is definitely enough."
Yan Qi chuckled: "Tao Donghai, Tao Donghai, are you finally willing to admit that you have a lot of food? Hehe."
"you……"
Only then did Tao Donghai realize that he had been taken to the ditch by Yan Qi in his excitement just now.
Judd's eyes were full of disappointment.
He was definitely going to lose this round.
Especially Tao Donghai, a guy who didn't live up to expectations, it was really useless to surrender so quickly.
This guy also boasts that he has been in the business world for decades and is shrewd and experienced.
However, meeting Yan Qi was like a mouse meeting a cat, and he didn't even have the courage to escape.
He snorted coldly, glared at Yan Qi, and walked away angrily.
Tokugawa Ichiro also left.
Tao Donghai had no backbone and became even more panicked.
Zhao Qing had a straight face and glared at Tao Donghai: "If you don't lead the way, let's get food with the people!"
Tao Donghai had no choice but to lead everyone to the grain depot.
What a large grain storehouse.
Ten warehouses filled with grain.
Yan Qi has a plan and will not ask where the food is going for the time being.
Because the coded grain must not have been shipped back yet.
This time, the hunger problem of the people will be solved first, and next time, Tao Donghai will be skinned and deboned.
Cats catch mice, that's how it's always been.
Catch the mouse first, don't be in a hurry to eat it, play enough, enjoy the fun, and then eat the mouse.
Yan Qi is a cat who loves to eat mice.
Zhao Qing was very happy looking at the mountains of food. He looked up to the sky and sighed, laughing.
As long as the food problem is solved and people's livelihood becomes stable, one worry will go away.
When the people's livelihood is stable, he has no responsibility or fault. There will be no obstacles in raising the Ministry of Rites.
Zhao Qing had laughed enough and stared at Tao Donghai with a serious face: "I didn't expect that the Tao family would have so much food? Haha, this food was really shipped from Japan?"
Tao Donghai nodded in panic: "Of course, look, I still have customs clearance documents here."
He took out the customs clearance document brought to him by Tokugawa Ichiro and showed it to Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing didn't even bother to look.
There are a lot of bullshit customs clearance documents.
Isn’t it easy to fake it?
Zhao Qing couldn't wait: "Don't be wordy, distribute the food immediately."
Tao Donghai said: "Everyone, please line up to get food. The price is still the same, twenty taels of silver per dou of rice."
Everyone was worried about the lack of food, but they didn't object. They took the money and took away the food.
Tao Donghai was secretly happy: This is not bad. At least all the food was sold at a high price. When the time comes, he can go to Yan Qi to collect debts. This is also a blessing in disguise.
Yan Qi stood in front of everyone: "Wait a minute!"
Tao Donghai was anxious: "Yan Qi, what are you doing?"
Yan Qidao: "How much does your grain cost per dou?"
Tao Donghai pretended to be calm: "The market price is twenty taels of silver per dou of rice."
Yan Qi shook his head: "No, no, your price is too expensive."
Tao Donghai said forcefully: "Why is it so expensive? It has always been sold this way. This is the norm."
Yan Qi pouted: "So what about convention? Conventions must also respect market rules."
Tao Donghai wondered: "What are market rules?"
Yan Qi looked contemptuous: "You don't even understand the rules of the market? Let me tell you, the rules of the market are dominated by supply and demand. If supply exceeds demand, the price will be high, and if supply exceeds demand, the price will be low."
Tao Donghai was confused: "I don't understand what supply exceeds demand or oversupply."
"If you can't understand, it means you have a low IQ."
Yan Qi pouted: "Forget it, I'll just reluctantly give you some science on the relationship between supply and demand."
"A few days ago, you said there was very little food. Naturally, scarcity is the price of food. Everyone was hungry. You asked how much food there was, but everyone had no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it. This is called supply exceeding demand."
When everyone heard it, it really made sense.
Although Tao Donghai was so angry that smoke was coming out of his nose, he had to admit that what Yan Qi said made sense.
Yan Qi pointed at the ten grain depots and smiled coldly: "But what now? You have so much grain, you can't finish it. If you don't sell it, it will all become moldy. What is this called? This is oversupply."
"Since the supply exceeds demand, you still want to sell it at a high price? Damn it, are you treating everyone as a fool?"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt that what Yan Qi said was very reasonable.
"Dong Tao, you are too dark."
"There is so much food and you still don't want to sell it to us. What are you thinking?"
"Profiteer, big profiteer."
…
Tao Donghai got excited again: "Anyway, it's twenty taels of silver per dou of rice. If you want to buy it, you can buy it. If you don't, you'll be kicked out."
Everyone was so angry that they yelled and cursed.
Yan Qi signaled everyone to be quiet, tilted his head and looked at Tao Donghai, and smiled: "Okay, if you have the seed, you won't sell it, and neither will anyone. Let Tao Donghai keep the food in the granary."
"Look, everyone, there is too much grain, and some of it is already moldy. In half a month, the grain will be fermented enough to make wine, and it will be even less valuable. Tao Donghai, are you afraid?"
Tao Donghai said: "I would rather die than pay twenty taels of silver per dou of rice. Anyway, we can't lower the price."
Yan Qi nodded, ignored Tao Donghai, and said to everyone: "Then let's disperse. Let the grain rot in the warehouse. After half a month, you come back to ask for money. Tao Donghai can't give it. Leng Yasi will do it himself." Tao Donghai will be arrested, and according to the law, he should be punished."
"Also, you must believe in the Governor. The Governor is the reincarnation of the blue sky. He will definitely uphold justice for the people and chop off Tao Donghai's head."
As soon as Tao Donghai heard that he was going to behead, he immediately threw away the little courage he had and quickly said with a smile: "Don't leave, everyone, um... haha... I'm kidding everyone. How can I sell it for twenty taels of silver?" Where's a dou of rice? Now, I officially announce that I'll give you a 50% discount, ten taels of silver per dou of rice."
Everyone was very happy.
"Ten taels of silver and a bucket of rice? So cheap?"
Yan Qi shook his head: "Isn't ten taels of silver too expensive? The price is unacceptable. Please don't buy it. Let's just wait for Tao Donghai to be beheaded, okay?"
"good!"
Everyone knew that Yan Qi would bargain, so they all listened to him, and no one bought it.
Tao Donghai stamped his feet anxiously: "In this case, five taels of silver and one bucket of rice is already the limit."
When everyone heard the words, they were eager to see through it.
Yan Qi sneered: "It's too expensive."
"Is this expensive?"
Tao Donghai gritted his teeth: "Yan Qi, you are not such a bully, so five taels of silver is still too expensive? It's unreasonable."
