This kind of problem does not need Qin Feng to explain at all.
Even Qin Xiaofu on the side could see through the stakes.
"Little Marquis, this Yanshou County is not simple."
"It is a transfer station for north-south grain. Both upstream and downstream grain merchants have to pass through Yanshou County."
"Yanshou County is a small county, but it is a battleground for grain merchants in the entire north and even the Central Plains."
"Yanshou Village cannot make any mistakes."
Qin Xiaofu has been following Qin Feng and Yan Ruyu for some time, learning the art of merchants.
From the treacherous servant who could only flatter others, he has become a shrewd businessman.
Qin Feng was very pleased. After all, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to take care of such a big stall as the Qin family.
Someone must help Qin Feng share the pressure.
Of course, this time I took a break from my busy schedule to visit Yanshou County.
Mainly because of the "Zhao Family".
After all, the Zhao family has the shadow of the Central Plains imperial party behind them, so they must pay enough attention to it.
"The Zhao family actually ignored the food and clothing of the people in Daliang and attacked my Qin family's grain account."
"I want to see what the Zhao family is planning!"
…
At this time, the door of Qin's grain house was already crowded with people.
Not only the northern grain merchants, but also people from major merchant houses in Yanshou County came over one after another.
Seeing that Zhao Zan had successfully attracted everyone's attention, he became even more unscrupulous.
"Everyone opens their eyes and looks carefully!"
"This Qin's grain account has been deceiving people for more than a day or two."
"First let the wind out, saying that buying food at a fair price is a good idea."
"Waiting for all the businessmen who have come from thousands of miles away to do this, then we can engage in quota purchases."
"We only collect 5,000 kilograms per day. This amount is not enough to fill the gaps between teeth!"
"The grain brought by merchants from all over the country has been discharged from North Street to the outside of the city. All together, there are not only 500,000 jins, but also 300,000 jins!"
"When Qin's Grain Company collects all the grain, it will take at least two months, or at most... Haha, who knows it will be in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?"
"The Qin's Grain Company is betting that you can't bear it and sell the grain at a low price. You can't transport the grain back the same way, right?"
Zhao Zan's words successfully aroused heated discussion at the scene.
Lin Ziyi's face turned red with anger. She had seen shameless people, but never such shameless ones!
Zhao Zan simply embodies the phrase "the evildoer complains first" to perfection.
The remarks just made were clearly a conspiracy of the Zhao family, but they were forced to pour dirty water on Qin's grain account.
But...
There really are those uninformed businessmen who believe it.
For a time, fierce discussions could be heard at the scene.
"I didn't expect that Qin's grain account would be so shameless!"
"I traveled thousands of miles to come here because of the reputation, but in the end I fell into the trap of a profiteer."
"More than just shameless? They are simply scum! The price of food in Yanshou County is enough to affect the food fluctuations in half of Liang."
"In order to make money, this Qin's Grain Company really wants to push everyone to a dead end!"
"Aren't you worried about making a fuss about food? The Ministry of Industry will send people down to inspect it?"
"Ministry of Works? Haha! Have you forgotten who is the person behind Qin's Grain Company? Even if the Ministry of Works comes, what will happen?"
"This Qin's grain account is so poisonous!"
The merchants were filled with indignation and looked at Lin Ziyi with eyes full of resentment.
Lin Ziyi was afraid that the reputation of Qin's Grain Company would be ruined, so she quickly explained.
"Everyone, please don't listen to Zhao Zan's monstrous words to confuse the public."
"Those who sell at low prices are the grain merchants headed by the Zhao family."
"Their goal is to squeeze out the Qin's Grain Company. Then, they can unscrupulously prey on the fish and meat merchants upstream and downstream."
Lin Ziyi defended loudly, but unfortunately, her voice alone was too small.
There is no way to create a ripple in the chaotic scene.
Even if someone heard Lin Ziyi's defense, not only did they not believe it, but they angrily denounced it.
"At this point, you are still making excuses shamelessly."
"If Qin's grain account is really innocent, why not relax the quota?"
"No matter what reason you have, you should not push us to the end. Now that Qin's grain account has done this, we will die no matter what."
"Either transport it back along the original route and lose the food in your own hands. Or sell it at a low price and lose everything."
"That's right! If Qin's grain account is really innocent, why not collect all the grain? Otherwise, no matter how beautiful you say, it will be meaningless."
Lin Ziyi was speechless.
Now there was only one thousand taels of silver left in the entire semicolon. Even Lin Ziyi herself was not sure how many days she could hold on.
She and her father were able to take charge of the Qin family's grain account because they had gained the trust of the Qin family.
If the semicolon falls into his own hands, how will he face the Qin family in the future?
There are only two roads in front of Lin Ziyi.
Either make a desperate move and spend all this thousand taels of silver to buy as much as you can.
Try to restore the goodwill of customers as much as possible.
But in this case, where will the money for buying food tomorrow come from?
Or continue to implement quota purchases. Although it can last a few more days, it will completely anger all northern merchants.
Anyone waiting for Qin's grain number must be dead.
Even his father Lin Qihai couldn't bear the huge pressure and fell ill directly.
Such a heavy burden rested entirely on Lin Ziyi's thin shoulders.
Lin Ziyi felt a tightness in her chest and wanted to escape several times.
But at the last moment, they all endured it.
We must never betray the trust of the Qin family!
"Dong Chen's family, we have been regular customers since Qin's Grain Company opened its doors in Yanshou County."
"You should understand that our Qin's grain account is definitely not as bad as Zhao Zan said."
Chen Kang was not easy to fool, so he naturally understood that what Zhao Zan had just said was just a thief shouting to catch the thief.
If it weren't for the Zhao family's mischief, how could Yanshou County be in chaos?
But……
Whether Chen Kang believes it or not, what’s the point?
Businessmen who have traveled thousands of miles to come to Yanshou County only care about one thing, whether they can make money.
After all, many merchants have invested all their wealth in food.
It's okay to return empty-handed, but it's a big deal to make a comeback.
But if you lose all your capital, you will never be reincarnated.
It’s not the fault of those merchants who are useless, it’s that their businesses are small and they can’t afford the trouble, let alone the risk.
"Miss Lin, I really can't figure it out, why do you insist on purchasing grain in quotas?"
"If you say that Qin's grain account is out of money, I won't believe it even to death!"
"Who is the person behind Qin's grain account? You and I know exactly who he is."
Lin Ziyi had trouble saying that her father and daughter had sent emergency letters to Kyoto several times.
But they all fell into disgrace and there was no response.
Combined with the recent series of major events in Kyoto, Lin Ziyi really did not dare to bother the Qin family big shot with such "trivial matters"...
