Chapter 375 Let’s get started

Luoyang

After another batch of grain arrived, Ji Wuyin asked his trusted butler Liu Xiaohuai, "How much grain do we have now?"

Liu Xiaohuai replied, "At present, Luoyang has 200,000 dan of grain and 2.5 million taels of silver. We have another 200,000 dan of grain in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and other surrounding areas, which can be transported at any time."

These grains are still Ji's own reserves.

If it really comes to the final showdown, Liaodong County still has 200,000 to 300,000 dan of reserve grain, which can be supplied at any time.

Then, Liu Xiaohuai said, "Liaodong County has raised three million taels of silver, which will be sent to Luoyang soon."

"Okay, since everything is ready, let's get started!" Ji Wuyin made the decision, "On the first day, let's be gentle and sell 10,000 shi of grain at a price of 240 wen per dou."

"Yes, let's do it now!"

Xuchang

"President, someone in Luoyang has put 10,000 shi of grain into Nanyang, 240 wen per dou."

Che Jiuming ordered without blinking, "Eat it up!"

The 10,000 shi of grain that Ji Wuyin put into Nanyang was quickly eaten up.

In order to maintain the price of grain, the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Association headed by Che Jiuming had to eat the low-priced grain on the market.

Runan

"Master, there is news from Liaodong County that Liaodong County has raised more than one million taels of silver from local wealthy families in the name of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce." Xie Nan hurried over to report with the latest news.

Everyone present was shocked when he heard this.

Gu Huaisheng and Lu Fei both looked thoughtful.

If the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce could raise more than one million silver from the local wealthy families, then they would certainly come up with no less than this amount of silver.

In other words, in order to solve the Nanyang problem, Liaodong County had put out no less than two million silver in one fell swoop.

Xie Nan and Xie Bai looked at each other. They had only obtained 200,000 shi of grain and one million taels of silver in total during their trip to the south.

Liaodong County had two or three times more silver than them. So what about grain? How much would they prepare?

Xie Zhan was calm about this, as he knew his position very well.

He was not the main force to solve Nanyang. They just came here and followed Lu Songli to pick up the leaks. It didn't matter if they had less money and grain.

Several core members of the Xie family comforted each other. Even if they were not convinced that Liaodong County was stronger than them at this time, they could only bear it.

They had just experienced the chaos of several big families in the south, and the floating wealth was plundered by the emperor and Liaodong County. Then, a lot of money and grain were spent on resettling refugees.

Although the money and grain raised at present did not reach the limit of the three families, it was already the majority of what they could take out without affecting themselves.

At this time, the people below came to invite Gu Huaisheng, and he went out for a while.

After a while, he came in with a solemn look.

Gu Huaisheng's people monitored the grain price market and noticed the short-lived 10,000 shi of grain, and just reported the situation to him.

He told Xie Zhan, "Master Xie, the latest news is that someone in Luoyang is selling grain at a price of 240 wen per dou."

"Can the quantity be estimated?" Xie Zhan asked.

"The quantity is about 10,000 shi. As soon as it appeared, it was eaten up by the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Association."

"What do you think about this?" Xie Zhan asked Gu Huaisheng, "Is it possible that Liaodong County took action?"

Xie Zhan was not as good at business as Gu Huaisheng, so he wanted to hear the other party's thoughts.

Gu Huaisheng said, "I'm not sure yet. I suggest we wait and see tomorrow. I personally think it's very likely that Liaodong County made the move." After all, the other party threw 10,000 shi of grain at once, which was a bit aggressive.

Xie Zhan nodded, "Just as you said, wait and see tomorrow." If Liaodong County made the move, there must be more actions in the follow-up.

And Zuo Anmin also sent a message. He could feel that Zhang Xian was not so anxious and bored.

Xie Zhan speculated that it was probably Liaodong County that made the move.

But who was the person sent by Liaodong County this time? He has been thinking about this problem recently. Obviously, the person in charge of Liaodong County is in Luoyang.

This person cannot be Lu Songli. The identity of the Qin family's exile and her identity as the sixth wife of Qin restricts her.

She didn't come in person when she was in the south.

At this time, she would not come to Nanyang.

Lu Desheng could not leave Liaodong County, and the Qin family was the same.

Is the person in charge of this matter Xue Xu? Or Wu Ren? He got the news that Wu Ren led the team to leave Liaodong County, but Wu Ren was too young, so Xie Zhan felt that it couldn't be him.

Xie Zhan originally thought that it was very likely that Xue Xu would be in charge of Luoyang, but today he learned that Liaodong County had raised so much silver and Luoyang had released grain, so he thought of one person - Ji Wuyin!

Is there anyone better than Ji Wuyin, the richest man in the south, in the game of money and grain trading?

Ji Wuyin is obviously more suitable to be in charge of Luoyang than Xue Xu, and he was in the dark before.

However, Lu Songli's courage also surprised him. Two or three million silvers and grain were handed over to Ji Wuyin for him to dispatch?

Liaoxi County

Recently, Lu Yiliang, the governor of Liaoxi County, was in a very bad mood.

Before, when Lu Desheng crossed the border and allowed the soldiers of Liaodong County to enter Liaoxi County to suppress bandits, he was held accountable by him, but he was harassed by him and he didn't get any 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 Shi Xue, the second daughter of the governor, 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.

Mr. 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 expressed was their attitude and willingness. If they used the Queen Mother's marriage as an excuse, it would 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.
