Chapter 564: Jointly deceive people

Meng Yunqi quickly replied: "The younger one brought fifteen thousand dans of grain."

The other three grain merchants also quickly reported the amount of grain they had shipped.

The three of them only delivered 10,000 loads of grain.

It’s similar to Zuo Ren’s estimate.

The total grain of the four grain merchants is less than 50,000 dan.

Yun Zheng secretly complained in his heart, and his face suddenly fell, "Why did you transport so much food? Why, are you afraid that I don't have the money to buy food, or are you afraid that I will directly steal your food?"

When asked by Yun Zheng, the four of them suddenly panicked and quickly looked at Zhang Xu for help.

Although none of them knew Zhang Xu, they had heard of Zhang Xu's name.

One look at Zhang Xu's body shape, and he guessed that this was the legendary God of Wealth.

Zhang Xu understood and immediately said to Yunzheng with a smile: "Your Highness, it is rainy in the south this summer and the roads are muddy. I guess they are worried that Shuobei is too short of food, so they will transport a small amount of food here first and get familiar with food transportation. Route, when the weather improves and the roads are not so muddy, we can transport a large amount of food over..."

"Yes Yes……"

Several people nodded in agreement and cast grateful glances at Zhang Xu.

"Is that so?"

Yun Zheng glanced at Zhang Xu lightly, and then ordered: "Wang Sicang, ask someone to check the grain immediately! Zhang Xu, please check the accounts with them, and you will get as much money as you need!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xu took the order,

Wang Shouren also quickly ordered the personnel in the granary to start inspecting the grain.

As soon as he finished his instructions, Yun Zheng asked him to take him to inspect the granary.

Zhang Xu didn't follow him in, but settled the grain payment with several grain merchants outside.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang."

Meng Yunqi said in a flattering tone: "I have heard of Mr. Zhang for a long time. I am lucky enough to meet Mr. Zhang today. I am truly lucky!"

The other three people also flattered each other one after another, which made Zhang Xu feel very happy.

"Okay, stop flattering me, I, Zhang Xu, am not a big shot."

Zhang Xu waved his hand and glared at a few people, "I said you are the same. You are just transporting this little food and sending it to the beggars? Your Highness has even issued a notice to collect grain. How can I lose your money?"

Several people smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, okay! You don't want to earn this money, there are many people who want to earn it!"

Zhang Xu didn't bother to talk to them, "Let's quickly calculate the accounts. I have to follow Your Highness to inspect the granary!"

After listening to Zhang Xu's words, several people couldn't help but look at each other silently.

Meng Yunqi pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Master Zhang, can you recommend us to meet with the prince about purchasing grain?"

"forget it!"

Zhang Xu refused without a second thought, "Your Highness is very particular about doing things vigorously and resolutely. Just because you are so slow-moving, you have failed to leave a good impression on His Highness. I don't want to ask for trouble!"

"Master Zhang, please help me."

Meng Yunqi said flatteringly: "We are not being lazy, but we cannot believe that there is such a good thing in the world! This business of selling grain is our business, and it is also Mr. Zhang's business, isn't it?"

The implication of Meng Yunqi's words was already obvious.

As long as Zhang Xu is willing to help broker this matter, Zhang Xu's benefits will be indispensable...

Under the leadership of Wang Shouren, Yunzheng made a surprise inspection of the granary.

Mayi used to be the largest grain storage area for the Beifu Army. Nowadays, a lot of grain has been shipped to Dingbei, and there is not much new grain coming in. As a result, many granaries in Mayi are empty.

Yunzheng simply turned around, feeling a little worried.

There is a huge food shortage in Shuobei.

If food cannot be replenished above the safety line as soon as possible, Shuobei is likely to face a food crisis.

We still have to buy a lot of food from within the customs!

It would be best to bring all the grain stocks of the big grain merchants in the pass to Shuobei!

Daqian had a bumper harvest last year, so these grain merchants should be stocking up on grain.

Just when Yunzheng was secretly worried, Zhang Xu came over.

"how?"

Yun Zheng asked with a smile.

Zhang Xu chuckled, "As expected by His Highness, these people really want to pull me on board!"

"That's good!"

The smile on Yunzheng's face became even stronger, "No matter what benefits they give you, just accept it!"

Isn't the reason why these people transported so much food to test the waters because they were worried that something might change?

If Zhang Xu becomes a community of interests with them, they should be able to dispel their concerns.

There are people up there who can help!

This is something that applies to everyone.

"it is good!"

Zhang Xu readily agreed and said with a smile: "They want to discuss the purchase of grain with His Highness in detail. Should we give them a try again?"

"No need to hang."

Yun Zheng showed a fox-like smile, "Let's go see them now, but we have to cooperate and put on a show for them in person!"

Saying that, Yunzheng immediately whispered to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu listened and kept nodding.

Selling someone and asking them to count the money for him is what he likes to do the most!

It wasn't until the two of them finished talking that Yun Zheng asked Zhang Xu to bring in the grain merchants.

Not long after, Zhang Xu led four grain merchants to the house where Yun Zheng was.

Yun Zheng sat there calmly looking at the granary's account book.

Hearing the footsteps of several people, Yun Zheng made no move to raise his eyes.

"Your Highness, they have arrived."

Zhang Xu came forward and reminded in a low voice.

It was only then that Yun Zheng put down the account book in his hand and raised his head.

"I've met the prince!"

The four of them quickly saluted in unison.

"No gift."

Yun Zheng waved his hand casually, and after the four of them stood up, he frowned and asked, "I heard from Zhang Xu that you want to talk to me about buying grain?"

The four of them nodded.

Yun Zheng pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes and glanced at the four people, "First tell me how much food you have on hand! If this is all you have, don't waste my time!"

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, the four of them couldn't help but fall into silence.

Yun Zheng asked this as soon as he came up, which made them a little passive!

Meng Yunqi hesitated for a moment, but took the lead in answering: "The total amount of all kinds of grain in the hands of this villain is about 300,000 dans!"

"How many?"

Upon hearing Meng Yunqi's words, Yunzheng's face suddenly fell, and he immediately waved his hand impatiently, "Zhang Xu, see the guest off!"

What Yun Zheng said was half true and half false.

He really didn't expect that Meng Yunqi only had 300,000 dans of grain in his hands.

He thought that any one of these grain merchants had more than 500,000 dans of grain in his hands!

A mere 300,000 dans of grain, but still doing this and that?

As Yun Zheng finished speaking, the four grain merchants suddenly became panicked and looked at Zhang Xu for help.

Zhang Xu glanced at a few people angrily, then smiled and approached Yun Zheng, "Your Highness, please calm down. I estimate that the 300,000 tons he mentioned is only the amount of food he can mobilize in a short period of time. If Your Highness gives more If he gives some time, he should be able to mobilize five to six million dans of grain!"

With that said, Zhang Xu looked at Meng Yunqi again, "Is that so?"

Zhang Xu asked while winking at Meng Yun crazily...
