It's near Hai hour.
The night is dark.
Just when Pan Yongliang and Fan Yuanyu were plotting to evacuate from Yan.
In the south of Juyang City, there is a brightly lit study in the side hall of the county government hall.
Sun Daohua, Zhu Guangli, and Fan Chongxian sat opposite each other.
Or playing with the exquisite tea cup in your hand.
Or taste the rare and exquisite tea in the cup.
Or they talked softly about interesting things that no outsider could say over the past few days.
In the eyes of outsiders, the battle between the three people is enough to determine the situation in Shanggu County in the coming months or even years.
As well as the final fateful meeting of most of the foreign families and merchants.
As far as Sun Daohua, Zhu Guangli and Fan Chongxian are concerned.
But it was just a rare break from the busy schedule.
As for the situation in Upper Valley County in the coming months and years.
And the final fate of most of the foreign families and merchants?
The three of them only need to carry out the planned plan made by that person step by step as before.
Why bother with extraneous matters?
And tonight, this "leisure" between the three of them is taking place.
It is also within the established plan made by Him.
...
...
Do not know why.
Leisure time is always extremely short.
Unknowingly, the time has arrived.
The eastern sky of Juyang City once again glowed with a little glow as promised.
In the south of Juyang City, in the side study room of the county government hall.
Sun Daohua, who yawned repeatedly, picked up a cup of strong tea.
He stood up slowly from the Taishi chair.
"Master Zhu, Master Fan."
"I'll take tea instead of wine."
"I wish everything goes well today."
Sun Daohua brought a cup of tea, calmed down for a moment and then raised the cup in his hand with a chuckle.
"I wish you all the best today."
Zhu Guangli and Fan Chongxian stood up and raised their tea cups with smiles on their faces.
The words are over.
After the three lamps touched each other.
Sun Daohua, Zhu Guangli, and Fan Chongxian raised the tea cups at the same time and drank the strong tea in one gulp.
"Governor Sun."
"Let's take our leave first."
"Today's fifty thousand shi of food will arrive outside the south city gate in no time."
Zhu Guangli put down the tea cup in his hand, cupped his hands and said goodbye.
"The Fan family's 50,000 shi of food will be able to arrive outside the south city gate soon."
Fan Chongxian put down the tea cup in his hand, followed closely and cupped his hands.
In the plan formulated by Xu Yi.
When the Zhu, Fan, Dong and other families reduced the price of grain to one, two, four, and one stone.
And the overall situation is basically set.
Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze can be named the county government.
At the price of one, two, three, and one stone.
Signed a supply and demand contract with the Zhu, Fan, Dong and other families for up to one million shi of grain.
This part of the grain will continue to be used for "fair price" grain sales.
Of course, if food prices fluctuate too much in the future, or one of the two parties is unwilling to continue to implement it.
In this case, partial compensation can be given to the non-defaulting party, thereby rescinding the supply and demand contract.
"You two, go slow."
In the study room of the side hall of the county government office.
Sun Daohua nodded his head after hearing this.
Not long after.
Under the personal gift of Sun Daohua.
Zhu Guangli and Fan Chongxian drove away from the main gate of the county government office in two antique carriages.
After the carriage Zhu Guangli and Fan Chongxian were riding completely disappeared from sight.
Sun Daohua calmed down for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the county office.
"Look for Mr. Lu to the lobby."
When Sun Daohua passed by the main entrance of the county government, his footsteps suddenly stopped slightly.
"yes."
The officer on duty at the main entrance of the county government office heard this and quickly bowed his hands.
at the same time.
There are two antique carriages painted with the logos of the Zhu and Fan families respectively.
One after another, they drove away from Dezheng Street where the county government office was located.
When the two carriages completely disappeared from Dezheng Street.
A group of informants hiding in the dark corners on both sides of Dezheng Street quickly dispersed towards the southeast, northwest and northwest of Juyang City.
...
...
It's almost time.
As the sun rises.
In the south of Juyang City, in the study room of the first-class annex of Zuixianju Inn.
Pan Yongliang, with disheveled hair and red eyes as if weeping blood.
He slumped down on the Taishi chair with all his strength.
His eyes, as red as tears of blood, stared motionlessly at the account book in his hand.
From the moment I made up my mind to evacuate Yandi last night.
Pan Yong knew in his conscience that during this trip to Yandi, the Pan family was destined to be severely damaged.
But he never expected it.
When a series of accounts calculated overnight were placed in front of him in detail.
The cost of the Pan family's trip to Yandi was many times higher than they expected.
The first thing to bear the brunt was the loss within Yu Yan.
This part of the loss can be roughly divided into two parts.
One.
Shops and warehouses rented in Yandi.
due to the existence of the lease.
The unused rent of the shops and warehouses.
and the security deposit paid at the beginning of the lease.
Naturally, this part of the expenditure will be down the drain.
Second.
The Pan family's people are living in Yan's land for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
This part of the expenditure seems to be the most inconspicuous.
It is exactly the biggest loss of the Pan family in Yandi.
This is due to the continuous rise in grain prices in Yan.
In Yandi, everything from shops and warehouses to basic necessities, food, housing and transportation have followed the continuous rise in food prices.
When food prices continue to rise.
This part of the expenditure is naturally insignificant.
Pan Yongliang naturally wouldn't care too much.
But this time and that time.
Nowadays, food prices have completely dropped.
In the past, the insignificant people's food, clothing, housing, transportation, horses and fodder were lost.
Naturally, it becomes extremely heart-piercing.
However, this is only the price that Pan Mansion needs to pay in Yan Di.
If compared with the price required to evacuate Yandi.
This part of the cost naturally seems "insignificant".
The Pan family transferred hundreds of thousands of stones of grain from Yanmen County to Yan.
There is no need to mention the losses caused by people eating horse chews along the way.
But now Pan Yongliang decided to return to Yan from Yan with grain.
The price that needs to be paid is not just as simple as repeating the original price.
in short.
Pan Yongliang transported hundreds of thousands of stones of grain from Yanmen County to Yan.
In his plan, all this food was naturally sold to the people of Yan, in exchange for a large amount of wealth.
That's why.
The Pan family's clerk and carriage that brought grain to Yan.
Most of them left Yan after the grain arrived in Yan and was returned to the warehouse.
And now since we plan to transport grain back to the wild geese.
Then it is natural to transfer these men and carriages back to Yandi.
He reloaded grain into the car from Yandi and then turned back to Yanmen County again.
During this period, one can imagine how great the losses were caused by people eating horse chews and so on.
Pan Yongliang had never thought of transporting grain directly from Yan to Yanmen County.
It's just this kind of thinking
Once it appears in the mind, it is forcibly dispelled.
First of all, hundreds of thousands of stones of grain are really not a small amount.
Outsiders are not as trustworthy as your own servants and clerks.
If anything goes wrong on the way home.
The consequences will definitely make it difficult for the Pan family to bear the burden.
Secondly, they transported grain directly from Yan to Yanmen County.
The price paid is no less than that of dispatching a man or bringing a carriage into Yan.
It is even far better than the dispatch of men and carriages from Yanmen County to Yan.
It should be noted that the Pan family's food supply in Yandi is hundreds of thousands of stones.
How many vehicles are needed to transport so much food? How many more guys are needed?
The cost of purchasing or leasing a vehicle alone is astronomical.
Even more so, how many people from the Yan region are willing to leave their homes and accompany them to escort grain to Yanmen County?
Thinking about this.
Pan Yongliang's face full of despair could not help but reveal a thick sickly red color.
"The straight bitch Sun Daohua!"
"Zhu Guangli, the straight bitch!"
"Fan Chongxian, the straight bitch!"
"My maidservant! Damn it! Damn everything!"
Pan Yongliang jumped up and stood up from the imperial chair.
With an unspeakable ferocious look on his face, he slammed the account book in his hand onto the desk.
"boom!"
"Crack!"
The account book fell heavily on the desk, knocking over the antique teapot placed on one side of the desk.
In an instant, the valuable antique teapot completely fell into pieces.
"Ah! Straight bitch! My maidservant!"
Pan Yongliang was still angry, and he suddenly raised his leg and kicked the desk in front of him hard.
Unexpectedly, after a kick.
The writing desk in front of him remained motionless.
Pan Yongliang fell behind him uncontrollably due to the reaction force.
Together with the Taishi chair behind him, it fell heavily to the ground.
"Damn it!"
"They all deserve to die!"
"Sun Daohua deserves death!"
"Zhu Guangli deserves death!"
"Fan Chongxian deserves death!"
"Yan Wangyi deserves to die!"
"The whole Yan land deserves to die! They all deserve to die!"
"Straight bitch! My maidservant!"
Pan Yongliang had a ferocious look on his face and got up from the ground in an extremely embarrassed manner.
Just when he was filled with madness.
Suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the closed study.
"Dong dong dong."
"master!"
"The head of the Zhu family, the head of the Fan family has left the county office!"
A Pan Mansion servant walked quickly to the closed study door and knocked gently on the door.
Hear this.
Pan Yongliang, who was furious, gradually regained some clarity.
However, no response was expected.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came again outside the closed study door.
"master."
"Master Fan handed me a greeting card."
Another servant reported outside the closed study door.
"Will......"
"Invite the head of the Fan family to the guest reception hall."
A full half-quarter of an hour passed.
Pan Yongliang's hoarse voice came slowly from the study room.
"yes."
After hearing this, the servant cupped his hands and responded.
The other servant waited quietly for more than a hundred breaths.
Pan Yongliang never gave any orders.
Then he silently exited the place where the study room was.
At the same time, in the study room of the other courtyard.
Pan Yongliang looked extremely ugly and slowly raised the chair beside his feet.
Then without saying a word, he searched around the desk for the hair crown that had been scattered at some point last night.
...
...
Nearly two quarters of an hour passed.
Pan Yongliang had just dressed neatly and walked to the reception hall of the other courtyard.
"Master Pan."
Seeing Pan Yongliang approaching, Fan Yuanyu, who had been waiting for a long time, slowly stood up from the guest chair.
"Master Fan."
Pan Yongliang calmed down for a moment, and then greeted him politely.
After the ceremony.
Pan Yongliang and Fan Yuanyu sat on the host and guest chairs respectively.
"Zhu Guangli and Fan Chongxian just left the county office at Mao hour today."
"If nothing else happens."
"The situation in Shanggu County has undergone tremendous changes in the past two days."
"I wonder how Master Pan is preparing?"
As soon as Fang sat down, Fan Yuanyu couldn't help but ask.
Hear this.
Pan Yongliang's expression couldn't help but change several times.
Nearly a quarter of an hour passed.
Pan Yongliang had just stabilized his violently fluctuating heart.
"Alas~!"
Pan Yongliang let out a long sigh, and then slowly said: "Last night, I sent people to return to Pingcheng at high speed."
"With the move between two places, even if we change trains all the time, we can travel day and night without stopping."
"I'm afraid it will take two days to reach Pingcheng."
"Even after receiving the news at home, we immediately mobilized people and carriages and came to Yan without stopping."
"I'm afraid it will take at least seven or eight days to reach Yan."
After finishing speaking, Pan Yongliang let out a long sigh again.
For a moment, he even wanted to risk everything and throw away all the food in his hands at a low price.
How much blood can be returned, how much blood can be returned.
As for making money? He no longer dared to think about it.
"well."
Hearing this, Fan Yuanyu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
How could Pan Yongliang not know what he was thinking?
Some accounts are really not unknown, and I am shocked when I calculate them.
Dai County is admittedly closer to Shanggu County.
The retracement losses they have to bear are naturally more affordable than those of the Pan family in Yanmen County.
However, the amount of grain transported by the Fan family this time far exceeded that of the Pan family in Yanmen County.
Fan Yuanyu was determined to take back what he said yesterday.
But for a while, I didn’t know how to talk about it.
He had to sigh once again.
Just when the two of them looked at each other without saying anything, they could only sigh at each other.
A Pan Mansion servant suddenly came from outside in a hurry.
"Master! Master!"
"The county government has posted another notice!"
"The county government has posted another notice!"
Pan's servants hurriedly walked to the reception hall and quickly bowed their hands.
"What's the notice?"
"Tell me quickly!"
Pan Yongliang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and then he asked hurriedly.
"Go back to me, sir."
"The announcement said that last night Commander Sun signed a sales contract with the Zhu and Fan families."
"At the price of one, two, three, and one stone, I purchased a large amount of grain from the Zhu and Fan families."
"All the grain purchased by the county government will be used to sell grain at a fair price."
"The notice also stated that fifteen more flags will be erected outside the South City Gate around noon today."
"If the people still have some food left in their homes."
"Then there is no need to rush to buy food from the city."
Pan's servants quickly explained the contents of the notice in detail.
Hear this.
Pan Yongliang and Fan Yuanyu's expressions couldn't help but change instantly.
"Back off."
Pan Yongliang suppressed the anger in his heart temporarily.
Wei Wei waved his hand to signal the servant to step back.
Wait for Pan
When the servants of the palace disappeared completely in front of the reception hall.
Pan Yongliang could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
"boom!"
"This is too much!"
"It's too much to bully someone!"
Pan Yongliang suddenly slapped the armrest of the Grand Master's chair with a heavy slap.
He roared with rage.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes.
How could Pan Yongliang fail to see the plans of Sun Daohua, Zhu Guangli, and Fan Chongxian?
This move seems to show that Sun Daohua is dedicated to the people.
In fact, it is just an attempt to sell food at a low price.
Blatantly transferring the wealth of the county government!
If this kind of behavior happened in the past, it might as well have happened elsewhere.
Pan Yongliang would never be so angry.
After all, Sun Daohua, Zhu Guangli, and Fan Chongxian did this.
In the past hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, every time there was a disaster, someone would always act like this.
Naturally, the Pan family of Yanmen County and the Fan family of Dai County are not "exempt from vulgarity".
But this time and that time.
Take the current situation in Yandi.
Sun Daohua, Zhu Guangli and Fan Chongxian made this move.
It is nothing more than passing on all the bitter fruits to a group of foreign aristocratic families and merchants.
At this time, even the Pan and Fan families were reluctant to sell their grain at the price of one, two, four, and one stone.
There won't be too many people flocking here.
If you want to break the deadlock.
The grain selling price must be lower than that of Zhu and Fan.
And it is infinitely close to the price of Sun Daohua’s affordable grain.
That is one tael of silver and one stone.
This way.
Pan and Fan's losses will inevitably rise sharply.
What Pan Yongliang understands.
How could Fan Yuanyu not know?
Suddenly, Pan and Fan were in the reception hall of the first-class courtyard of Zuixianju.
Each one looked uglier than the other.
However, just when the reception hall of Zuixianju Villa was about to fall into complete silence.
A hurried figure suddenly reappeared in the distance.
"master!"
"master!"
A Pan Mansion servant rushed in from outside with sweat profusely.
"Qi...Qi Master!"
"Meng...Meng's rice and grain store...has also lowered its prices!"
The servants of the Pan Mansion stopped abruptly outside the reception hall, and quickly raised their hands in salute without having time to breathe.
"How many?!"
"What a price reduction!"
Pan Yongliang stood up from the imperial chair with a sudden movement, and then asked quickly.
"Meng family?!"
"Which Meng family?!"
Fan Yuanyu, who never oversteps his authority, no longer cares about false etiquette.
He stood up from the Grand Master's chair with a sudden movement and followed closely.
"startled."
"Ask the master."
"The price has been reduced to one, two, four, and one stone!"
"Go back to Master Fan and ask."
"It's the Meng family of Zhuojun."
The servants of the Pan Mansion couldn't help but be slightly startled when they heard this, and then quickly answered.
The words are over.
Pan Yongliang and Fan Yuanyu couldn't help but look at each other silently.
After hurriedly looking at each other, they both saw joy in each other's eyes.
"Ahem."
"Back off."
Pan Yongliang coughed slightly, then waved his hands slightly.
"yes."
Upon hearing this, the servants of the Pan Mansion bowed their hands again and then silently turned around and left.
After the servant figure completely disappeared from the reception hall.
Pan Yongliang couldn't help but turn his head again and look at Fan Yuanyu beside him who was hesitant to speak.
"It's not as good as us..."
Pan Yongliang probed without knowing anything.
"Why don't we also lower the price?"
Fan Yuanyu couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, and then he took advantage of the situation to complete the sentence.
"What does Master Fan think?"
Pan Yongliang nodded imperceptibly and then asked.
"Just act according to Patriarch Pan's opinion."
"Fan is doing everything he can."
Fan Yuanyu calmed down for a moment, and then threw the "dilemma" to Pan Yongliang again.
Pan Yongliang secretly cursed the old fox when he heard this.
Then he calmed down and said, "In that case, let's go with the flow."
Hearing this, Fan Yuanyu nodded and agreed, "This is also a helpless move for you and me."
"I think the prince and his old man will understand you and me."
The words are over.
Fan Yuanyu continued to stay not far away.
He said goodbye immediately and left.
As for yesterday's talk about transporting food and turning back.
From beginning to end, Fan Yuanyu never mentioned a single word.
Take the current situation in Yandi.
Anyone with a clear eye can see it.
Since blood loss is a certainty.
The sooner the food in hand is sold out.
The more you can reduce some losses.
Therefore.
Now is the time of competition.
At this moment, Fan Yuanyu wished he could spread his wings and fly to the other courtyard where he lived.
I don't want to stay even for a short breath in the other courtyard where Pan Yongliang lives.
