At night.
In the government office, Jia Yun was sitting in the high hall and handling official duties.
Wang Fei walked in from outside at this time.
He looked at the calm Jia Yun not far away from him, his face changed slightly, and he said humbly and respectfully: "Wang Fei, a common man, pays his respects to Master Yun."
After hearing Wang Fei's words, Jia Yun couldn't help but raise her head and looked down at Wang Fei standing below. She quickly put down the brush and the official document in her hand, with a smile on her face, and walked down to talk to Wang Fei. He said calmly: "Wang Fei, you are also an old man of the Xue family, right?"
After listening to Jia Yun's words, Wang Fei felt relieved, knowing what Jia Yun's attitude was this time.
He smiled quickly and said, "Sir, Cao Min joined the Xue family's shop more than ten years ago and managed the business here for the Xue family."
Seeing that Wang Fei was also an old man, Jia Yun nodded and asked, "Then let me ask you, can you manage the Xue family's store in the entire state?"
Wang Fei's eyes suddenly lit up. This was a huge opportunity and good fortune!
He immediately assured Jia Yun: "As long as Master Yun is willing, I will be willing to obey and follow your advice."
Jia Yun just nodded and said again: "Okay, I want you to go down now and call all the shopkeepers of the Xue family shop over. I want them to do something for me."
After that, Wang Fei started to take action under Jia Yun's instructions.
A civil servant named Zhang He came over from the side, looked at Jia Yun, and said puzzledly: "Sir, the Xue family's shop is certainly large in scale, but all the merchants in the city have united. Once there are other shops, If the rice is sold at a low price, then they will directly take action and snap it up. At that time, even if the Xue family shop has food, it will only be a drop in the bucket and will not help. "
Jia Yun shook her head and said: "Zhang He, you don't know something. I don't intend to lower the price of food and sell it at a low price. Instead, I will do the opposite, raise the price of food, and let these people You will reap the consequences!"
After listening to Jia Yun's words, Zhang He was even more confused.
Zhang He looked at Jia Yun's expression, which was not like that of a stupid person, and asked cautiously: "What is the deep meaning of this action?"
Jia Yun remained silent.
After a long time, Jia Yuncai said: "Things are done in a secret way. If I had told you the reason in advance, this matter would not have been done. You only need to follow my instructions and act according to my plan. Other things, Don’t ask any more questions.”
Seeing that Jia Yun refused to allow herself and others to question her deeply, and was unwilling to explain the reason, these people had no choice but to beg for mercy and leave.
........
The next day.
The same place was changed to day time. .net
Jia Yun once again entertained everyone in the Xue family. She looked at the shopkeepers below and said, "From today on, I want you to open warehouses to store grain, sell the grain in the treasury to others, and at the same time, raise the price of grain per stone. , from the previous selling price of about three taels of silver per stone of grain, to the selling price of ten taels of silver per stone of grain."
"What? Sir, didn't you ask us to come here and sell grain at a lower price? Why are you asking us to raise the price of grain now, raising the price of grain to ten taels per stone?" After hearing this, everyone started talking. Like the two-foot-tall monk who was confused.
"Yes! My lord, this time my lord has been ordered by the emperor to serve as the imperial envoy. His first task is to provide disaster relief and rescue the people, and to sell food at low prices. We can understand it, but what is the rationale for raising prices now? We I really don’t understand.”
"Sir, this is inappropriate! The shops in the city have all formed an alliance. We have made an agreement. If anyone dares to open a warehouse privately to sell the daily stipulated grain, they will attack in groups and take away the food in our hands. The food will be sold out immediately, and even if we have a lot of money in our hands, we may not be able to buy a grain of food."
"Sir, would you give it more thought? This move will have a great impact. If it is not done properly, I am afraid that the food in our hands will also be lost."
It will be sold out by them. "
"..."
After listening to everyone's persuasion, Jia Yun sneered and said, "I just want these people to pay a higher price to snap up the food released by our Xue family store. Didn't they rely on the strategy of hoarding and holding back the food before selling it? , have made a lot of national treasure? Now I want them to spit out all their profits and profits. This shopping mall is like a battlefield. Although you can’t see the light of swords, it still needs to be taken seriously. You just follow my instructions Go ahead and do what you said, and if someone has trouble doing it, then don’t blame the butcher’s knife in my hand.”
Seeing that Jia Yun was a bastard eating weights, he decided to sell the food in Xue's store at a price several times higher than ten taels of silver. For a moment, everyone looked at each other in disbelief and nodded helplessly and went ahead.
Because people under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Jia Yun is the actual helmsman of the Xue family's business and an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court. With the military power in his hands, no one dares to offend him and cannot afford to offend him, whether it is because of the boss's order or his own future. At this moment, anyone who talks to Jia Yun is seeking death.
Not necessarily, even the unscrupulous businessmen in the city would not dare to continue to drive up prices when they see the government officials in these yamen being turned into pigs one after another and being beheaded by Jia Yun who chops melons and vegetables. , causing food prices to continue to soar?
After all, they were also afraid that Jia Yun would not follow the rules and would arrest them and confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans.
Once they die, even if the mansion has accumulated countless wealth, it will be just a sigh and of no use.
Therefore, under the threat of death, these people have become much more honest.
However, after realizing that Jia Yun was ruthless and unruly, many people began to wait and watch, preparing to see Jia Yun's jokes.
The food distributed by the imperial court seems to be a lot, but in fact it is extremely difficult to feed so many people below.
Moreover, this is a year of disaster. Even if you have money and want to buy food, you may not have anywhere to buy it.
They have food in their hands, but these people do not plan to sell it to outsiders. Instead, they plan to make a fortune from this disaster, and make a lot of money.
In fact, these people formed cliques in private and formed an interest alliance to jointly protect the price of food in the state capital and maintain the situation of harvesting small people at high prices.
Ever since the Xue family started selling grain for ten taels of silver, it caused an uproar all over the city. Countless people were cursing that the shopkeeper of the Xue family was not the same thing.
