With the unexpected death of Che Jiuming, the president of the Yuzhou Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce, and the bankruptcy (bankruptcy) of his close members, it meant that the entire Yuzhou Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce collapsed.
The endings of each member are also very different.
The better ones, such as Meizishan and Zhou Beicheng, were eliminated with small losses.
The rest are more miserable, such as the Lin family and the Mo family.
They were considered Che Jiu Ming's cronies. Like him, they hoarded a large amount of food in order to take this opportunity to make a fortune.
For these grains, they not only spent all their cash, but also used all their fields, shops and other properties as collateral to borrow money from banks.
In the end, because he lost his money and became insolvent, all his family property was wiped out overnight.
Che Jiuming, president of the Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce, lost his life. Although he didn't liquidate his position, if nothing happens to him, it will happen sooner or later.
The Che family's more than one million shi of food was finally disposed of.
The Che family owed about 854,000 taels of silver and interest borrowed from Liu's bank, and the Che family paid it all with grain, which amounted to a million shi of grain. Che Mansion sold all the remaining 160,000 shi, and sold it at the lowest price.
After the funeral, Che Mansion's huge property worth more than two million yuan was finally left with only a hundred thousand taels in cash.
At this point, the Lin family and the Mo family of Che Mansion could no longer stay in Xuchang, and they were planning to move their families to visit relatives elsewhere.
The fate of the Yuzhou Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce is depressing, and it also makes people realize that any game struggle is cruel.
At this time, Ji's branch was brightly lit.
The stewards of Ji's Firm and Liaodong Chamber of Commerce were busy taking inventory.
Ji Wuyin and his son, Wu Ren, Lu Wei and others were taking stock of their gains in Nanyang.
They won this game and got a big piece of fat.
Ji Wuyin said, "When we came to Nanyang, we prepared 400,000 shi of food and 5 million taels of cash."
Wu Ren confirmed, "Yes, your Ji family prepared these 400,000 shi of grain, and two million taels of silver. Our Liaodong Chamber of Commerce sent us three million in cash."
Young Master Ji answered, "At that time, the amount of grain held by the Yuzhou Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce was around two million dan, and the current silver was around 800,000 taels."
Lu Wei also smiled and added, "The grain shipped by grain merchants from other places is also worth millions of dan."
Ji Wuyin smiled and stroked his beard, "The two sums of food totaled about three million shi, and in the end they were divided into four parts."
Young Master Ji couldn't hide his excitement and said, "We, the Liao-Ji Alliance, have won the lion's share, 1.8 million shi."
Currently, the total amount of food they have on hand amounts to 3.2 million dan, which is terrifying.
Everyone who knows this total finds it a bit unreal.
Ji Wuyin saw how excited several young people were, and deliberately suppressed them, "Don't forget, everyone, there are one million stones in it that must be returned to Chang Pingcang."
Previously, they and the emperor borrowed one million shi of grain from Changpingcang.
Wu Ren said with a smile, "Uncle Ji, we know that the one million stones of grain used by the Che Mansion to pay off the debt will be paid back."
"Go on."
"Then let's talk about money. We didn't earn much."
Their two families spent a total of five million taels of silver.
This money also played a vital role in this battle.
They first used Zhang Xian to pledge one million taels of silver, and Song Mo borrowed one million shi of grain from Changpingcang.
Later, he lent more than one million taels to Che Jiu Minglin, shopkeeper Mo and others, and also used this money to secretly eat the grain sold by grain merchants from other places after the grain prices finally came down.
Silver comes in and out, but ultimately remains at the original amount.
"It's normal not to make any money. The money lost in Nanyang is actually the initial 800,000 taels of emergency funds from the Yuzhou Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce."
"Yes. These 800,000 taels went into the hands of grain merchants from other places. They lost the grain and received more than 800,000 taels of silver. Overall, they lost more than half."
"Of the remaining 1.2 million shi of food, Xie Zhan and his family ate about 500,000 shi."
"The amount of food flowing into the hands of the people in Nanyang is about 600,000 shi. This food can probably last them two months."
The last more than 100,000 shi of food were consumed during this period.
"The numbers are all right."
It can be said that their Liaoji Alliance won this round.
The common people also won and bought a large amount of grain at a price lower than the market price.
Xie Zhan and his team followed behind them and also won.
The losers were the Yuzhou Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce and the foreign grain merchants who came to Nanyang to transport grain.
The battle of Nanyang was originally Lu Songli's effort to solve the disaster relief problem for Zhang Xian and at the same time gain credit for her father in exchange for the position of governor. Its political significance cannot be measured in terms of money and food.
Wu Ren and Lu Wei looked at each other and clasped their fists at Ji Wuyin at the same time, "Uncle Ji, congratulations."
Two to one plus five, each of the Ji family and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce will be allocated 900,000 shi of grain.
"Boy, we are all happy together."
Both sides looked at each other and smiled.
Ji Wuyin was truly impressed by Lu Songli.
Make extra money to benefit the poor.
Using economic means to solve political problems is amazing, and it is truly unparalleled.
They continued to discuss, and finally they decided that Ji Wuyin and Lu Wei would return to Liaodong County with one million shi of grain.
It's now November, and the people currently have enough food to last for about two months. They plan to leave 800,000 shi of food, which can almost sustain Nanyang until next summer.
Wu Ren and Master Ji continued to stay in Nanyang.
Wu Ren originally brought people out to open shops and pave trade roads. He had originally planned to make Qingzhou the first stop, but Nanyang needed people, so he came here.
Now the people in Nanyang have a good impression of Ji's firm and Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. It would be a pity not to take advantage of such a good mass base. Therefore, he planned to open a Liaodong Chamber of Commerce shop in Nanyang.
Young Master Ji stayed to complete the finishing work.
After all, Tao Xun and others stayed in Nanyang because of Ji's invitation. It was impossible for Ji and his son to leave without giving any explanation.
Then, these one million stones of grain were transported away twice.
After deciding, they contacted Lin Shan.
After Lin Shan helped foreign grain merchants transport grain to Nanyang, in order to avoid their entanglement, he left the Luoyang port with his fleet to temporarily avoid the limelight.
But he didn't go far. As soon as Ji contacted him, he took the fleet back to Luoyang.
