"Sir, all the grain sold by our Xue family store has been eaten by the major grain merchants in the state capital. What should we do now?"
Wang Fei came to the government office and watched Jia Yun report what happened recently.
If an ordinary person, even someone with a little bit of wisdom, comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to solve this confusing situation, and they can only hide and be a tortoise.
But Jia Yun was not that kind of person. Her face was calm and she said as usual: "Why are you panicking? How much food is left in the Xue family's rice warehouse?"
"According to your plan, it can only last for this month." Wang Fei thought for a moment and said quickly.
Jia Yun nodded: "Then go down and order someone to raise the price again, to eleven taels of silver per stone of grain."
Wang Fei was stunned when he heard this and said in shock: "Sir, no! The sky-high price of eleven taels of silver is simply a shocking price. Who would buy our food!"
Jia Yun shook her head: "The people can't afford the sky-high price of ten taels of silver. The only people who can buy our food now are female businessmen and stupid people who dream of getting rich all at once." Besides, are there others? If they want to die, let them do it."
Several people standing nearby also nodded and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are really wise. Now in the disaster years, the people have no oil and water to squeeze out, and they have all become poor. And your Excellency sells it at a high price for ten taels of silver." Regarding food, except for those black-hearted businessmen, I am afraid that no ordinary person would dare to participate in such a huge gambler situation."
Jia Yun returned to her seat, sat down again, and said calmly: "Aren't they rich? Let them bleed this time."
After saying that, Jia Yun looked at the people beside her: "Immediately go to other provinces and places to spread the news here, whether using government or private means, in a word, I want to I will see enough food appear on the dock in a month. Otherwise, you will have to die before I die."
Seeing Jia Yun's threat, everyone nodded solemnly.
Even if they wanted to be lazy, under the threat of death, they had to use all their strength to complete this matter.
It's not about other people's life and death, it's only about your own life and death.
People are like this. Unless they are in urgent need, they will not feel anything about the changes in the outside world. They always have a weird mentality in their hearts that it has nothing to do with them. Anyway, the person who died is not them, so why should they go there? Do you care about the life and death of those people?
Now Jia Yun is using death to spur these people, so that these people have to work for him.
Once people have a weakness and want to survive, they will willingly become cows and horses.
This is also the emperor's imperial mentality to control the people.
Soon the Xue family's shop followed Jia Yun's arrangement and once again raised the price of grain for sale to the outside world.
For a time, it once again caused the people in the city to curse and curse.
It's just that the Xue family's shop ignored this and still went its own way.
Even in order to avoid trouble and some confused people blocking Jia Yun's plan, Jia Yun even sent soldiers and horses from the state capital to guard the door of Xue's shop to deal with the troublemaking people.
When the people saw this scene, they could only criticize behind their backs and no longer dared to stop the Xue family from opening their doors for business.
"What exactly does Jia Yun mean? Why did you raise the price of food again?"
The black-hearted businessmen who were against Jia Yun were a little confused by Jia Yun's operations when they saw the Xue family's actions.
It is really puzzling that food prices are rising again and again.
"Send someone to find out if there are any changes in our state capital. Why do I feel vaguely uneasy?" Out of business intuition, any successful businessman will be alert and start looking for the key to Jia Yun's solution.
Soon the situation in the entire state capital was also controlled by the businessmen, and traces of Jia Yun's activities and layout were not discovered.
It seems that Jia Yun is mentally retarded and stupid, and does not understand economics and business at all. She has been messing around for a while, trying to scare them to death in this way.
After it became clear that Jia Yun was just pretending, but was actually nothing, everyone gave up their doubts and began to ridicule Jia Yun: "Hey, I thought this Jia Yun had extraordinary abilities! So that's the case An extremely stupid person, it seems we were overly nervous and looked down upon Jia Yun."
"Looks like we're guaranteed to win! Come on, let's play music and dance."
"Just wait! Let's wait and see how Jia Yun will deal with the crisis of no food in the next two months."
".........."
The businessmen treated the imperial envoy like a monkey and found it very ridiculous. They were already firmly on the Diaoyutai and were about to succeed.
The next situation also unfolded according to these people's ideas.
They bought all the food from the Xue family store.
For a time, the Xue family sold less and less food to the outside world, and it was about to bottom out.
At the same time, the official rations in the government offices were gradually bottoming out, and everyone was about to run out of food.
Not to mention the common people, even the bureaucrats and officers and soldiers of the state government became panicked. They hurriedly came to Jia Yun and said, "Sir, if this continues, there will be trouble. If there is no food. , I’m afraid the consequences will be disastrous!”
After listening to what these people said, Jia Yun called in the officials and spies who had been sent out to spread the news, and said, "How did you do what I asked you to do?"
"Sir, Zhuge Liang is really alive! As soon as the grain merchants from various provinces heard about our place, one stone of grain is worth dozens of taels of silver. It was a sky-high price that they had never heard of in their lifetimes. They were immediately tempted and sold their goods as quickly as possible. Quickly escort the food over."
"Not only that, but food from many places is already on its way."
"What a great thing! Great news."
"Sir, at the dock outside the city, the first batch of merchant ships have already transported food. That businessman said that he can provide you with 30,000 shi of food!"
After hearing the news reported by the people below, Jia Yun was also slightly stunned, and couldn't help thinking: "Are you sure that the businessman said that he can provide me with 30,000 shi of food?"
Thirty thousand shi of grain is not a small amount of money.
1 stone is equal to 10 buckets, which is converted into the current weight of about 120 kilograms. 30,000 stone is 3.6 million kilograms.
A big deal, a really big deal.
This man is extraordinary, Jia Yun must go and meet him in person.
