Luoyang
After another batch of grain arrived, Ji Wuyin asked his close steward Liu Xiaohuai, "How much grain do we have on hand now?"
Liu Xiaohuai replied, "Currently there are 200,000 shi of grain and 2.5 million taels of silver in Luoyang. We also have 200,000 shi of grain in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and other surrounding areas, which can be shipped at any time."
These grains are still Ji's own reserves.
If it comes to the final meeting, Liaodong County still has two to three hundred thousand shi of grain reserves that can be supplied at any time.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiaohuai said, "Liaodong County has raised three million taels of silver, which will be sent to Luoyang soon."
"Okay, now that everything is ready, let's get started!" Ji Wuyin decided, "On the first day, let's be gentle and sell 10,000 shi of grain at a price of 240 wen per bucket."
"Yes, let's do it now!"
Xuchang
"President, someone from Luoyang dropped 10,000 shi of grain into Nanyang, at a cost of 240 taels per bucket."
Che Jiuming ordered without blinking, "Eat it!"
The ten thousand shi of grain that Ji Wuyin invested in Nanyang was quickly eaten.
In order to maintain the price of grain, the Yuzhou Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce, headed by Che Jiuming, had to eat low-priced grain that appeared on the market.
Runan
"Master, there is news from Liaodong County that Liaodong County has raised more than one million taels of silver from wealthy local families in the name of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce." Xie Nan hurriedly came to report with the latest news received.
Hearing this, everyone present was surprised.
Gu Huaisheng and Lu Fei both looked thoughtful.
The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce can raise more than one million silver from local wealthy families, so it will definitely spend no less than this amount of money itself.
In other words, in order to solve the Nanyang problem, Liaodong County spent no less than two million silver in one fell swoop.
Xie Nan and Xie Bai looked at each other. During their trip to the south, they only got a total of 200,000 shi of grain and one million taels of silver.
Liaodong Junguang's money is two or three times as much as theirs. What about food? How many will you prepare?
Xie Zhan was calm about this, he knew his position very well.
He was not the main force to deal with Nanyang. They just came here and followed Lu Songli to pick up what was left behind. It didn't matter if they had less money and food.
Several core members of the Xie family comforted each other. Even if they were not convinced, they could only endure the fact that Liaodong County showed strength at this time.
Their southern region had just experienced the chaos of several major families, and a lot of their wealth was plundered by the emperor and Liaodong County. Then they spent a lot of money and food to resettle refugees.
Although the money and food raised so far has not reached the limit of the three companies, it is already the most that they can come up with without affecting themselves.
At this time, the people below came to invite Gu Huaisheng, who went out for a trip.
After a while, he came in with a solemn expression.
Gu Huaisheng's people were monitoring the grain price market and noticed this short-lived ten thousand shi grain, and they reported the situation to him just now.
He told Xie Zhan, "Master Xie, the latest news is that someone in Luoyang is selling grain at a price of two hundred and forty coins per bucket."
"Can the quantity be estimated?" Xie Zhan asked.
"The quantity was about 10,000 shi. As soon as it appeared, it was eaten by the Yuzhou Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce."
"What do you think about this?" Xie Zhan asked Gu Huaisheng, "Is it possible that Liaodong County took action?"
Xie Zhan is not as good at cargo farming as Gu Huaisheng, so he wants to hear what the other person thinks.
Gu Huaisheng said, "I'm not sure yet. I suggest we take a look tomorrow. Personally, I think there is a high possibility that Liaodong County will take action." After all, the other party throws 10,000 shi of grain in one shot. He doesn't cover up or cover up, so he has a bit of momentum. Menacing meaning.
Xie Zhan nodded, "As you said, we'll see tomorrow." If Liaodong County takes action, there will definitely be follow-up actions.
Moreover, Zuo Anmin also sent news, and he could feel that Zhang Xian was no longer so anxious and depressed.
Xie Zhan speculated that it was probably Liaodong County who took action.
But, who is the person sent by Liaodong County this time? He has been thinking about this issue recently. Obviously, the person in charge of this matter in Liaodong County is in Luoyang.
This person couldn't be Lu Songli. Her status as a Qin family exile and her status as the Sixth Mrs. Qin had restrictions on her.
She didn't even come in person when she was in Nandi.
At this time, she will not come to Nanyang.
It is impossible for Lu Desheng to leave Liaodong County, and the same goes for the Qin family.
Could it be that the person in charge of this matter is Xue Xu? Or Wu Ren? He got the news that Wu Ren led a team to leave Liaodong County, but Wu Ren was too young, and Xie Zhan felt that it couldn't be him.
Xie Zhan originally thought that it was very likely that Xue Xu would be based in Luoyang, but today he learned that Liaodong County had raised so much money and that Luoyang had released grain. He thought of one person - Ji Wuyin!
Is there anyone better at games such as buying and selling money and grain than Ji Wuyin, the richest man in the South?
Ji Wuyin is obviously more suitable to take charge of Luoyang than Xue Xu. He was the one who was in trouble before.
However, Lu Songli's courage also surprised him. Two to three million silver and food were handed over to Ji Wuyin for his disposal?
Liaoxi County
Lu Yiliang, the governor of Liaoxi County, has been in a very bad mood recently.
Previously, Lu Desheng crossed the border and allowed soldiers from Liaodong County to enter Liaoxi County to suppress bandits. When he was held responsible, he was harassed and harassed, and he received no compensation.
Today, when the governor summoned him, he thought there was something good going on. Little did he know that the governor wanted his wife to visit Liaodong County to find out what the Qin family was saying.
Lu Yiliang suffered a heart attack immediately. He originally wanted to marry the governor's second daughter, Shi Xue, for his son, but now he learned that the Shi family actually fell in love with Lu Desheng's second son-in-law?
Hearing the news, he vomited blood in his heart. Could his good eldest son be inferior to a married man?
But he did not dare to complain against Shi Tao. The governor must be right, and the ones who were at fault were naturally Lu Desheng and the others.
Master Shi must have been deceived. It's all Lu Desheng's fault for ruining his son's marriage!
This new and old hatred made him itchy with hatred.
Wait, he suddenly thought of something. Lu Desheng's second daughter and Qin Liu seemed to be married to each other by the Empress Dowager?
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger. Since he hated Lu Desheng, he naturally wanted to investigate him. Well, wouldn't the information from his investigation come in handy?
"Sir, you have given the order. Of course there is no problem. I will ask my wife to go there tomorrow. Do you want to send someone to go with me?" He deliberately did not remind Mr. Shi that Qin Liulu and Er were married to each other by the Queen Mother. Divorced wife.
Shi Tao thought it would be good to send someone there.
The result of the investigation was, of course, the Qin family's rejection.
Because the Qin family protected Qin Sheng and Lu Songli and did not use the Queen Mother's marriage as an excuse. Because Qin's mother felt that Lu Songli was a very good daughter-in-law, the marriage granted by the Queen Mother was just an external reason for the two to be united.
What the Qin family has expressed is their attitude and willingness. If they use the Queen Mother's marriage as an excuse, it will be like being dissatisfied with their youngest daughter-in-law. And Mother Qin felt that the Shi family should know about this.
After getting the result, Shi Tao smashed a tea cup and said, "The Qin family doesn't know how to praise!"
Lu Yiliang immediately put on eye drops, "Indeed, a family of outlaws dares to be so arrogant, isn't it because they rely on Lu Desheng."
Hearing this, Shi Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
