Regarding the fields put up for sale by the owners of Pingjiang County, Yang Xiu would not refuse them.
Even because these families sold too many fields, Yang Xiu could even slash the prices.
The family heads in Pingjiang County considered that Yang Xiu might be an official businessman working for a certain big shot in the palace. In order to win over Yang Xiu, these people didn't care much about Yang Xiu's bargaining.
Anyway, they themselves will be able to buy the grain from the state-owned grain stores immediately and make a lot of money.
After everyone signed the sales contract with Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu brought boxes of white money to hand over to them on the second day.
Handing over the money in one hand and the land deed in the other, such a smooth transaction made them convinced that Yang Xiu was a wealthy businessman from the capital.
The first time the owners of Pingyang County received their money, they sent people to the state-owned grain stores to purchase grain.
On the day I got the cash, the preferential price for military grain was still 20 cents per pound.
However, due to the crazy buying by many families such as the Ye family, the Wang family, and the Li family in Pingjiang County, within three days, the price of grain at the state-owned grain store changed from the original two taels of silver per kilogram of refined grain rice to three A catty of refined grain rice costs two silver coins, and the discounted price for military family members has increased from the original twenty copper coins to thirty copper coins per catty.
Driven by the frenzied shopping spree of major families in Pingjiang County, ordinary people in Pingjiang County who still had some money to spare also started snapping up.
They looked very much like the leeks who went to open accounts at securities firms during the bull market to send money to institutions.
While everyone was still frantically buying refined grain rice, Zhou Yi asked people to increase the price of grain by five cents, and sent people to shout at the door: "Our store has sufficient food supply, please do not rush to buy or hoard!"
Ye Wuhua, the head of the Ye family in Pingjiang County, and others laughed heartily after seeing this scene.
Ye Wuhua said confidently, "This state-owned grain store couldn't hold on any longer and actually started sending people to bluff at the door."
"Everyone, let's work harder. I guess they don't have much food left!"
Other family owners also agreed and spent a lot of money to buy rice from the state-owned grain store.
Sure enough, the next day, the price of discounted grain for military families at the state-owned grain store doubled to 70 yuan per pound.
Faced with this situation, the major families in Pingjiang County, headed by the Ye family, the Wang family, and the Li family, firmly believe that the state-owned grain is about to be exhausted. For this reason, their enthusiasm for purchasing refined grain rice has become even more crazy.
Soon the silver coins they had sold to Yang Xiu were all used up again.
For this reason, they had to continue to find Yang Xiu, the big boss from the capital, and sold all the fields to Yang Xiu except the fields that originally belonged to their family.
They then took the money to a state-owned grain store and purchased a large amount of refined grain white rice.
There was no room for storage in the warehouses, and the major families piled food in their own houses.
Whether it is the kitchen woodshed or the sleeping bedroom, almost all houses are filled with bags of refined grain rice.
Sure enough, on the third day after the price of refined grain rice reached 75 cents, the market price of grain in state-owned grain stores had risen to 40 taels of silver per catty, while the discounted price for military family members had risen to 100 cents per catty, and every day Purchases are also limited to a certain quantity, while supplies last.
Not only that, on the wooden boards marking the grain prices in the state-owned grain stores, there is also a message of 90 Wen per pound for recycling grains.
Now Ye Wuhua, Wang Defa, and Li Xiuliang are firm, certain, and certain that the inventory of this state-owned grain store has definitely bottomed out.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have written a slogan about recycling at a high price of 90 yuan per pound.
"Everyone, we are about to see the dawn of victory. If we purchase the last bit of grain from them, Pingjiang County will be the domain of our major families from now on!" Ye Wuhua said excitedly and seductively, as if he had been given blood.
A small landowner suddenly stood up and complained: "Except for Mr. Ye, all the money we have has been used to buy grain, and there is no money left. Now except for our own land, which is still unsold, there is nothing else." !”
"It's not like our three big families, Ye, Wang, and Li. Now there are piles of grain everywhere in our house. I sleep on the grain every day!" Ye Wuhua said angrily.
At this time, another patriarch of a small family stood up and said, "How about we sell the grain to Pingyang City and Jing'an City and earn some money first before we come back!"
None of the three major families, including the Ye family, the Wang family, and the Li family, raised any objections to this suggestion. They all even agreed on a date for delivering the food on the spot.
"It's okay to take out the grain and sell it, but I'm afraid the money earned won't be returned to us in time. Now we and Magistrate Nagou have reached a critical moment to decide the outcome, so I suggest that we first get our own Sell the land to Boss Yang first, and when we make the money back, we can spend more money to buy it back!" Ye Wuhua suggested.
Regarding Ye Wuhua's proposal, the heads of all the small families present showed hesitation.
Just when those small families wanted to refuse, Wang Defa, the head of the Wang family, and Li Xiuliang, the head of the Li family, firmly stood up to support Ye Wuhua's proposal.
At this moment, Ye Wuhua excitedly held the hands of Wang Defa and Li Xiuliang, and praised from the bottom of his heart: "With the help of two sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks, we don't have to worry about the big thing failing!"
Nowadays, all the families are like grasshoppers tied on a rope. Seeing that the Ye family, Wang family, and Li family are so willing to sacrifice, other small families have no choice but to bite the bullet and take out their ancestral fields, so everyone has a third choice. He found Yang Xiu for the first time and sold all the last bits of land in his hands.
After Yang Xiu made sure that he had all the land deeds in the county, he immediately ran to Zhou Yi to report his work.
After Yang Xiugang finished reporting his work, Qian Xiaohao, the son of Qian Yongqian, also ran over from the military camp.
"Sir, the young men of the Ye family, Wang family, Li family and other families have responded to the message. They said that these families are planning to divide into two groups of people at midnight three days later. One group of people will bring food to Pingyang City, and the other group of people will lead a group of people. Take the food to Jing'an City."
After Zhou Yi heard the news, he showed a knowing smile and said: "Departing at midnight? They are not afraid of meeting ghosts if they walk too much at night!"
"Xiao Hao, please send some people to keep an eye on the major families day and night to prevent them from changing the food delivery date. In addition, Feige sent a letter to Pingliang County and asked them to replace the nine-tube masks with one tube, which they transported to Pingyang City. You must cut off all the food for me."
The last time "Li Feiyu" and the others came out to rob the big families in Pingjiang County, they wore nine-tube masks. This time, in order to prevent others from recognizing them, they naturally had to change to one-tube masks.
