In a blink of an eye, ten days have passed and time has come to the Lantern Festival.

Mr. Chen from Mazhu Town hired a Yue Opera opera troupe from Sheng County. Starting from the day before the Lantern Festival, he had to sing opera for ten days in a row, which attracted all villagers from nearby villages to come to Mazhu to watch opera.

For a moment, Mazhu Town became the most lively place in Yuyao.

Because of the excitement, more than a dozen grain merchants gathered in the Chen family again, which was not so eye-catching.

The opera is singing in the temple entrance, and the Chen family's living room is also full of people.

Chen Dasan pressed his hands with false pressure, signaled a dry grain merchant to be quiet, and then asked his eldest son: "Qi Fan, have you seen it clearly?"

"My son can see clearly!" Chen Qifan said confidently, "The Zhao family grain store in Xiaogang Town, the Qin family grain store in Luotuo Town, the Lin family grain store in Zhuangshi Town, and the Xiaojia rice store in Shizhu Town, are all closed!"

Chen Dasan was still a little worried and asked again: "Will there be a fraud? Have you ever inquired in depth?"

"Dad, just relax. My son has already found out!" Chen Qifan said confidently, "The Zhao Qinlin and Xiao family really have no food, they are sold out!"

Chen Dasan said: "Where did you get the news?"

Chen Qifan said: "My son bribed a friend from the Zhao family grain store. That guy has worked in the Zhao family grain store for a full twenty years and knows the background of the Zhao family grain store."

Chen Dasan turned his eyes to all the grain merchants present, and said with a smile: "Did you all hear it clearly?"

More than a dozen grain merchants present nodded at the same time. Chen Dasan said again: "Xiaogang Zhao family, Luotuo Qin family, Zhuang City Lin family, and Shicao Xiao family no longer have food. Looking at Yinjiang, no one has food except us. Although it is inevitable that the four of them will make some money, our grain dominance is finally done!"

As soon as Chen Dasan finished speaking, the grain merchants present immediately cheered.

"That's great, the grain dominance has finally been completed."

"No, I can make a big profit now."

"It's worth it for us to bet on our wealth and life, but it's a success!"

"Mom Xipi, I have been unable to sleep all night in the past half month, but tonight, I can have a good sleep!"

"Shopkeeper Wang, I'm afraid I still can't sleep?"

"That is to say, can your third concubine spare you?"

"Hahaha." The living room burst into laughter.

After pausing, Manager Wang suddenly remembered something again and immediately said to Chen Dasan: "Mr. Chen, do you have to think about something?"

Chen Dasan smoked a mouthful of dry tobacco and asked, "What's the matter?"

Manager Wang said: "The usury loan we borrowed from Zhao Qinlin and Xiao's four money houses is about to expire."

As soon as he heard this, the expressions on his face immediately collapsed after more than a dozen grain merchants who were still celebrating.

Yes, why did you forget this? They still owe four banks more than 2 million in usury loans!

Moreover, the usury loan of more than two million yuan was borrowed at four cents of monthly interest. Even if it only exceeds the half-month deadline for one day, it will have to pay half a month's interest, which is more than 400,000 yuan in total!

After pausing, Manager Wang said again: "There are only five days left before the half month period. Where can we raise money?"

The other dozen grain merchants agreed: "Yes, in just five days, where can we raise more than 2.4 million yuan to create oceans? If this exceeds the deadline, even if it only takes one day, we will have to pay more than 400,000 yuan to create oceans!"

"I'm afraid the worst is not this." Manager Wang said, "We are eating a lot of food now. As long as we sell a part of this food, it is enough to repay the loan loans you borrowed. But the problem is that selling grain takes time. We can't sell such a large amount of food in a short period of time. What should we do?"

More than a dozen grains were all turned to Chen Dasan.

When he was lobbying everyone to borrow usury to earn food, Chen Dasan said that he had a solution.

Facing the anxious gaze of the grain merchants, Chen Dasan calmly put down the tobacco pipe in his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have already thought of a solution for this."

Manager Wang immediately bowed and said, "I hope to hear the details."

Chen Dasan said lightly: "Some time ago, the person named Zhong held a commercial land auction? Moreover, the sale was quite good, and it sold for 50 million yuan!"

Hearing this, the eyes of the grain merchants present suddenly lit up.

Chen Dasan smiled and said, "Take out the 50 million yuan, it's almost enough to buy the food we have in our hands."

Hearing this, the eyes of more than a dozen grain merchants present showed a hungry wolf-like gaze, 50 million! This is a total of 50 million!

Even if the Chen family is asked to take the big head, each of their dozens of them can get at least more than three million legal currency!

Although the fiat currency has depreciated seriously now, more than three million fiat currency is still a large amount!

However, it’s not that no one is calm. For example, Manager Wang is very clear-headed.

"But..." Manager Wang frowned, "How can I ask the person surnamed Zhong to take out the money to buy food?"

"This matter must still fall on the provincial officials." Chen Dasan said, "Teacher Jing of the 194th Division has already greeted the provincial officials through his upskirts. After the Lantern Festival, the province will issue an official letter to the Yinjiang Municipal Government, asking the Yinjiang Municipal Government to come forward to solve the problem of food shortage in the market!"

After pausing at this point, Chen Dasan said again: "It is not a problem to have no food to sell in Yinjiang market for a long time. In the end, it will be solved by the Yinjiang Municipal Government."

"Let the province issue an order?" said Manager Wang, "Wonderful, this trick is amazing!"

The other dozen grain merchants also agreed, and this method is indeed excellent.

Chen Dasan smiled and continued: "At that time, under the pressure from the province, the Yinjiang Municipal Government must take out real money to buy grain from our families to stabilize the price of grain! Therefore, in recent days, we will still have to soar further, pushing the price to 50 cents per catty!"

After pausing, Chen Dasan smiled sinisterly and said, "When Zhong Yi comes forward, we will sell the stored grain to the Yinjiang Municipal Government at half price. We will make such a big concession, which can be considered an explanation to the elders of Yinjiang."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Manager Wang smiled, "No matter what, we are all honest businessmen. We are our responsibilities and responsibilities to benefit our hometown, haha, haha."

The other dozen grain merchants also laughed.

This feeling of making money and being a good person is really great!

It would be great if you can come to a wave of grain dominance every year in the future!
Chapter completed!
