Three days after the emergence of this new grain collection office, in a luxurious compound in Taiyuan Prefecture, the big shopkeepers of the top ten grain shops (the ten most important grain shops in Taiyuan City) have all gathered together. Secret discussions.
And these big shopkeepers can gather together, and they are all confident... Not afraid of the Shanxi envoy at all! Let’s not talk about the law or blame the public. You must know that these ten big shopkeepers represent a very powerful force behind them, let alone two of them. The power is not under the Shanxi envoy at all. So I am afraid of a bird!
Of course, since the opponent chose to solve the problem by the way of business war, it is not convenient for the master behind them to stand up directly, so let them also use the way of business war to solve the problem.
Among them, Hu Youcai, the chief treasurer of the "Heqi Liang", the most prestigious among the top ten food shops, is of course also the representative of the largest power...The representative of the power with the word "king" began to speak first.
The 50-year-old old man looked at the big shopkeepers present, and said solemnly: "Everyone, everyone has seen the current situation. The two new grain collection offices have broken the rules and regulations. Those mud legs have benefited, so our master is very angry! Let's see what should we do?"
"I have an idea—" The big shopkeepers here are all veterans of shopping malls, so one of the big shopkeepers soon suggested: "You guys, I think this is okay. Isn't the Shanxi envoy collecting food on a large scale? Let's just handle it. All the grains here are smashed out! And now the price of four or two stones is no longer low, so if our top ten grain shops work together to deliver goods, it should be able to collapse the price he smashed (that is, the cash flow breaks)."
"Is it wrong?" Unexpectedly, this person had just finished speaking, and immediately another big shopkeeper retorted: "Someone heard that the Shanxi envoy is very much more than an ordinary person, and he has a lot of profitable industries under him. Those foolish people still come to him every day to buy grain and remit cash, so they want to use this trick to force him to submit, it won't work."
"Oh, what do you have to do?" The previous big shopkeeper said disapprovingly.
"It's very simple. As I see it, let's go buy food!"
"Oh, what do you say?" Hu Youcai, who presided over the meeting, was very interested when he heard it.
"It's also very simple—" The second major shopkeeper was talking eloquently: "First, in the context of today's catastrophe year, the food is generally very tense, and secondly, we add our top ten food With all the power to buy food, the Shanxi envoy relies on a small east road, no matter how much food, how much can he have
So as long as we buy all the food in his hand, he will no longer be able to maintain the stability of food prices! This price system collapsed naturally! "
"Even if we take a step back and say that this Shanxi envoy is really talented and has sufficient grain reserves, we will not lose money at all when we buy it at the price of four or two and one stone. (The previous price was eight or two and one stone). It is completely possible to explain to the master."
"This method is good!" After thinking about it, Hu Youcai found it reasonable, and after thinking about it, several other shopkeepers also found it to be good. This is an idea that makes a profit without losing money, so they all agreed. In this way, after the top ten shopkeepers had no objections, they signed the alliance agreement on the spot and decided to shoot together the next day.
So early the next morning, two grain collection centers set up in Taiyuan City, there was an abnormal scene, that is, there was a sudden increase in the number of people who came to buy rice today! And it's not just one or two, there are already long queues in the grain collection area!
This abnormal situation immediately caught the attention of Sun Changming, who was in charge of the situation, and then immediately reported to Yang Shanlu.
But Yang Shanlu sneered after hearing this... Seeing that he stabilized the price of food, did his opponent finally make a move? But it doesn't matter, he is waiting for them!
In this case, Yang Shanlu immediately made an order... On the one hand, he stepped up the transportation of grain to prevent them from succeeding! On the other hand is to strengthen supervision! For example, in this era, didn't every household have a yellow book (that is, the household registration book of the Ming Dynasty, made up for the collection of corvee taxes).
Therefore, people who come to buy food must hold the yellow book to buy food (once a day, each time is limited to 20 jin), and every time they buy, they will be marked on the yellow book, and once someone continues If you come to buy food for three days, then you have a big suspicion! (Normally, whoever eats and buys food every day) In this way, the Supervisory Department can be dispatched to follow the vines to find out who is behind these people.
And after Sun Changming listened to it, he repeatedly said good things, so after Yang Shanlu's order was carried out, the guys who fished in troubled waters couldn't work.
These people were originally folks in the top ten grain shops, or related personnel, and these people were still very rampant. Originally, after they bought grain at one grain collection office, they went to another grain collection office to buy grain. Yes, but now that the rules for buying food in accordance with the Yellow Book are issued, this method of fishing in troubled waters will no longer work.
But since the top ten grain shops have decided to make a deal, it is also very crazy... Aren’t you limited to 20 catties per person per day? It doesn't matter, I have a lot of people. So they not only mobilized all their staff to buy food, but also their family members, as well as family members and maids, anyway, as long as they can find them, they all come to buy food!
Even after this was fully launched, the big shopkeepers were still on the opposite side of the grain collection office and set up a small house to watch... When they saw the grain collection office was always lined up to buy grain, their faces were sneered. Color: "Hehe, see when you can reach it?"
Only ten days later, something that made the big shopkeepers dumbfounded happened... Even if they desperately came to buy grain, but the grain collection office seemed to be conjured, there was a constant supply of grain, and there was no grain to run out. The phenomenon.
Damn, it's really evil! How much food did he reserve! While this shocked them, they began to discuss the next steps.
Of course, they could not understand the food reserves on the East Road, but in the face of such a crazy counterattack, Yang Shanlu also felt pressure.
In the special envoy’s mansion, Yang Shanlu is already listening to Sun Changming’s report: "My lord, in these ten days, we have been bought by them 500,000 jin of grain, although there are still a lot of grain reserves. The passage from the east road is also very smooth, but the pressure is still not small."
After all, this is also very obvious. It takes half a month to transport grain from the East Road to Taiyuan City. When they buy grain like this, the grain transport team is exhausted! As for the consumption of people eating and chewing along the way, let alone, it is an additional cost.
"I see." Yang Shanlu nodded, and then he looked at Hai Jilian who also came to report on the latest situation: "Then the supervision department, to what extent has it been controlled?"
"My lord -" Hai Jilian, who is in charge of the Supervision Department, reported immediately: "According to the information we have, 872 people have bought grain for more than three days, and these 872 people are all related to the top ten grain shops There are various relationships, and we have also found out the forces behind the top ten grain shops, involving the following officials..."
Hai Jilian's preparations were still very sufficient, and after he finished speaking, he handed over a piece of the information he found to Yang Shanlu. After Yang Shanlu read it, he frowned slightly... What a powerful force! Even one of the forces involved characters with the prefix'king'! It's just that, since you made the shot yourself, there is absolutely no reason to shrink back!
Yang Shanlu sneered and said, "Hehe, it's really a big force! But since the officer dares to come to Shanxi, he is not afraid of any challenge!"
Then Yang Shanlu waved his hand and said, "Send my order to copy all these ten grain shops to me! All the grains obtained are confiscated!" And these ten grain shops include the most powerful grain. Row!
And Yang Shanlu has also made full preparations. If they don’t know anything about it anymore, they will come up with a gold medal like my own...
So with Yang Shanlu's order, the 2000 Xuanjia Army was directly dispatched that day, the soldiers were divided into ten groups, and they were directly locked to get the top ten grain lines!
Then these top ten food shops usually do this black-hearted business, and they also have some thugs, but no matter how sturdy these thugs are, where are these Xuanjia army's opponents? After breaking down a few unbelievers, the remaining thugs were all scared to the ground! Even if the big shopkeepers of these grain shops loudly reported the master behind them, they couldn't stop them at all!
So not to mention that the shops of these top ten food shops were swept away like a typhoon passed by! Including the grain and rice they bought at a high price a few days ago, all of them were taken away... Return to the original owner!
Including the big shopkeepers of these top ten grain shops (one of them was caught by him and quickly slipped away). After being asked about the guilt, they were directly beheaded for the crime of hoarding and disrupting market prices! (Anyway, the people killed by their hands don't know how many people are killed, so this can be regarded as an eradication for the people!) Including those who work for the tiger is no exception, all are sent to jail! Invite them to eat prison food!
And after such a resolute action, the people around them all clapped their hands and cheered! Even when the people were happy, they set off firecrackers to celebrate... You know these bastards, I don’t know how much they have suffered in the past! And no one in the yamen dared to control it, but now
Including Zuo Maodi and the others who were also sitting in the special envoy’s mansion, waiting for news, and saw that the operation was a complete success, including the huge amount of grain and rice bought by them a few days ago. Come back (During the investigation, even the original grains of these grain shops were taken away! Anyway, is it necessary to divide it so clearly?)
They all cheered to Yang Shanlu repeatedly... High, really high!
It's just that after Yang Shanlu listened, he didn't feel much happy... Because he knew very well that if the competition was only through economic means at the beginning, now everyone has torn their faces and went straight to the battle! So it is foreseeable that... There will be even greater tests waiting for him.
A crazy counterattack is coming soon!
ps bowed and thanked brother Qiaoyang 123 for his great reward! Whenever I see the title of the book appearing on the iron-blooded scrolling reward list, I feel happy in my heart, thank you! (End of this chapter)
