They finally figured out that they had fallen into the trap.
Without Jia Yun's permission here, I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to leave, let alone selling food.
As more and more merchant ships come along the river, traffic has become jammed. Many merchant ships are blocked directly on the river because the merchant ships in front cannot move. They are unable to move at all, causing a chain of events. The ship is blocked and cannot advance or retreat.
At this moment, they are calling for help from the sky and the earth.
If they cannot reach an agreement with the great god Jia Yun, they may be trapped on the river for the rest of their lives.
As for breaking up with Jia Yun, that's even more impossible.
Jia Yun has the army in his hands. A group of businessmen trapped on the river are living targets. Even if they want to bargain with Jia Yun, they have no chance.
Only at this moment did everyone realize that the so-called selling of food at high prices was just a cover to trick them into transporting food.
At this moment, everyone realized how powerful and terrifying Jia Yun's methods were.
He didn't do anything, just let people like himself fall into the trap and be ruined by greed.
Even they couldn't blame Jia Yun.
After all, Jia Yun had never put a knife on their necks, forcing these businessmen from all over the country to spend all their money to buy local grain and transport it to Jia Yun.
For a moment, everyone was dumb and eating Coptis chinensis, feeling miserable in their hearts.
At this moment, the sunset is gradually emerging, and the brilliance of the sun is almost gone. As the sun sets in the west, the ships on the pier also begin to light up their lights. The undulating lights are like countless crucian carp crossing the river.
Jia Yun gathered all the merchants, big and small, who were trapped in the river. She looked at everyone with a calm face and said, "I invite you all here just for one thing, and that is the food."
"Sir, just say it! We don't have any objections." They finally understood.
Now they are the fish on the chopping board. Without Jia Yun's permission, no one can transport the food loaded on the river boat. Once the delay continues and the food rots and other problems, they will not be able to afford it even if they lose everything. of.
After seeing Jia Yun's methods, everyone knew better that they now had no confidence to bargain.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.
This has been true since ancient times.
Businessmen are also afraid of officials.
The county magistrate who ransacked the house, the prefect who exterminated the family, offended these dignitaries, you want to do business? You are not qualified to go home and plant sweet potatoes.
Jia Yun looked at everyone, but did not embarrass them. She just smiled and said: "I also know the current price of food. I am willing to buy all the food in your hands at a slightly higher market price. As for the high price Don’t think about the food, I definitely have no chance here.”
After hearing Jia Yun's words, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
They thought that Jia Yun planned to use a lower price to turn their road of selling grain into a road of death. Now that they saw that Jia Yun was willing to pay a slightly higher price to buy them all, they felt extremely grateful. Thanks to Jia Yun’s eighteen generations of ancestors.
This is really a life-saving thing!
Speaking of which, it is extremely difficult for them.
At first, when they heard that grains were sold at unbelievable prices here, they searched for grains like crazy. They did not hesitate to get all kinds of grains, black and white. In short, they even stocked up like crazy, and then they shipped them all over and returned them. I was afraid that I would be late, so I came as quickly as possible.
They don't need anyone's encouragement. They motivate themselves and provide their own dry food, travel expenses, transportation ships, etc.
Just for the dream of getting rich overnight.
I felt extremely happy during the journey, as if I was about to reach the peak of my life.
Later, when I arrived at this place, I learned that it was blocked and I couldn't unload the food. I could only wait. I was so anxious that I wanted to go find Jia Yun immediately and fight for my life.
Then he became anxious and angry again,
On the verge of collapse.
Until now, Jia Yun's arrival has given everyone more hope.
At least everyone is not working in vain or running in vain.
Although the money Jia Yun gave them only slightly allowed them to make a small profit, they would not lose all their money.
Everyone can accept such a result, and there is no reason not to accept it.
Businessmen have no way to resist officials.
What is an official? The official is the imperial court.
The king's laws are determined by these officials, and the yamen are also opened by these officials.
How dare they, the common people, dare to fight with officials?
Especially Jia Yun, a first-class prostitute in the current dynasty, who is also a relative of the emperor.
Although they have backers behind them, what's the use of waiting for a seventh-grade sesame official?
Even if their backers come to Jia Yun, they still have to kowtow to Jia Yun.
This is the difference in influence brought about by the difference in power.
If it were an ordinary low-level official, I'm afraid these people wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
It is human nature to look at others and bully the weak and fear the strong. It has been like this since ancient times.
Jia Yun then arranged for people to hand over to these people, and bought all the grain transported by these people with money, and placed it in the official warehouse to replenish the food that had been lost before.
In addition, Jia Yun also ordered someone to call Wang Fei and ordered: "Immediately notify the entire Xue family's shop to sell out all the grain in the rice warehouse, and at the same time, fill all the empty seats in the rice warehouse." Finished. Starting from tomorrow, you will still sell normally at the previous price. As much as you can sell, all will be sold. If it is short-sold, I still have it here and will do my best to ensure your supply."
After listening to Jia Yun's words, Wang Fei smiled and nodded.
He finally knew that this Jia Yun was really not the idiot Xue Pan of the Xue family. Between the palms of the hands, it is like the Tathagata Buddha teasing the monkey, completely confident and at ease.
The more powerful Jia Yun is, the happier they are.
After all, they are people on Jia Yun's ship. Their boss is very powerful, and he can follow them to drink some soup. Not to mention getting promoted and making a fortune, it should not be difficult for them to have enough food and clothing to fill the house with wealth.
At this time, everyone left, except for one person who stayed. This person was Lu Sanxue, who had previously planned to contact Jia Yun to sell at a low price.
Lu Sanxue originally thought that she could gain a lot of favor from Jia Yun by selling at low prices this time.
Now it seems that his wishful thinking is about to come to nothing.
However, Lu Sanxue did not plan to leave, and still planned to rely on Jia Yun to seek refuge with this promising big shot.
