Chapter two hundred and ninety-fifth sadness of the times
"Ah, three thousand jin? I will buy six thousand jin every month from now on?"
Wang Guangquan was shocked. He had never done such a big deal in this industry. He bought so much salt in one go, and even if he was eating it as a meal, he wouldn't have finished it.
But he didn't dare to say why Zhang Jiuyan bought so much salt, nor did he dare to ask.
Besides, if Zhang Jiuyan wants so much goods, it will definitely cause a shortage of coarse salt. How can the price not rise?
If it were someone else, no matter how much the price increase, Wang Guangquan would say that his face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he was even very happy.
But the person in front of him was Zhang Jiuyan, so he was in trouble.
If Zhang Jiuyan thought he was on the ground and had a misunderstanding, and was so angry that he could just use the knife, then he would have to pay his life if he didn't do it well.
Seeing that Wang Guangquan was hesitating and looked embarrassed, Zhang Jiuyan smiled and said:
"Da Chaofeng, do you have something to say? Or is it inconvenient? If there is a shortage of salt products and the price will be increased, it doesn't matter. If there is a little price increase, it's okay. As long as there is goods, it's fine."
In such a productivity environment in ancient times, especially at the end of the dynasty, it could almost be said that it was a complete seller's market.
As long as you have the goods in your hands, you don’t have to worry about selling them. The initiative in the price is firmly in their hands.
There are many people who can’t buy anything even if they have money, and they end up starving to death with money.
And this salt is a must-have, and it is more expensive than food. If Zhang Jiuyan does not intend to grab it, he can only accept their pricing.
Zhang Jiuyan naturally hopes to keep flowing, so it doesn’t matter if Zhang Jiuyan increases the price.
After all, Zhang Jiuyan bought the coarse salt back to refine the snow salt. The profit of snow salt is too generous. Even if Wang Guangquan doubles the price, Zhang Jiuyan can still make a big profit.
Seeing that Zhang Jiuyan was so easy to talk, Wang Guangquan felt at a loss in his heart.
Wang Guangquan said that everyone said that Zhang Jiuyan was a person who respected him one foot, and he respected him one foot, and he bullied him one point, and he wanted someone to live.
That is very principled and never makes things difficult for others. Now it seems that the rumors are true.
"Thank you for your understanding, Master Jiu, you know that this salt is a tight thing. Master Jiu wants so much at once, so it's hard not to increase the price."
"Hahaha,,,"
Zhang Jiuyan laughed a few times, and the atmosphere between the two was much more harmonious.
Because Wang Guangquan had sufficient salt goods, the price of coarse salt was agreed to increase from four cents of silver per kilogram to five cents of silver per kilogram.
And the next three months will be settled at this price.
In this way, Zhang Jiuyan's purchasing needs were met.
Everything went smoothly. Zhang Jiuyan finally cleared the money and bought three thousand kilograms of coarse salt. It was not like Zheng Yongqing, and something happened on the way.
However, from the beginning to the end, Zhang Jiuyan did not mention the matter of Xueyan, and Wang Guangquan did not ask from the beginning to the end. Their attitudes were naturally self-evident, and everyone knew it.
The host and guest had fun, and finally Zhang Jiuyan left with satisfaction;
Wang Guangquan was also filled with emotion and had a greater understanding of Zhang Jiuyan in his heart.
Thinking that it would be a big deal to supply Zhang Jiuyan with so much salt in the next few months.
As he thought about it, Wang Guangquan couldn't help laughing out loud and sighed in his heart: This bandit is not bad.
Then, Zhang Jiuyan went to buy ripe lime and soda ash, and bought four or five thousand kilograms each. The process was almost the same, so I won’t go into details one by one.
After the purchase was made, Zhang Jiuyan also spent a lot of clean money on him.
It's strange. Every time Zhang Jiuyan comes out to buy it, the money is not clean, and Zhang Jiuyan feels burning.
Only when everything is spent and becomes a pile of goods, Zhang Jiuyan will be satisfied.
After the porters were loaded, Zhang Jiuyan took this huge team and set off and left the county town.
This time, the board racing team has more than 40 cars, and such a large team is naturally particularly eye-catching.
Just like the last time the initiation process, there were many refugees following this time.
They begged Zhang Jiuyan one by one, hoping that Zhang Jiuyan could give them some food.
When Zhang Jiuyan saw them like this, he just pretended that he hadn't seen it.
This is the county town. If you really want to give them food, don’t think about going back today. Your own convoy will be empty.
Until I left the county town, there were many fewer people following me.
Most of those who left were just holding on to the idea that Zhang Jiuyan could give the best food, but there was no way to do it if he didn't give it.
When I followed the city gate, I saw that Zhang Jiuyan had no intention of giving food, so I stopped following him.
Those who continue to follow are those who have no choice but to wait for Zhang Jiuyan’s food to save his life.
Not only that, there were more hungry people outside the city.
When these hungry people saw Zhang Jiuyan's team, they were all full of expectations and pitiful, crying and begging Zhang Jiuyan to help them with food.
Zhang Jiuyan couldn't bear it, but there was no expression on his face, just letting them follow him.
Zhang Jiuyan planned to wait for a while and when he arrived at a place with fewer people, he would distribute some of their food. This was also a matter of his intention.
"Mom, I'm hungry, I'm hungry."
A little girl of five or six years old followed her mother in exhaustion, and said weakly, as she was hungry.
Her mother's withered and dry face squeezed out a smile. "I'll have something to eat soon. Be good, girl, wait a little longer."
Mother's love is always great. Even if it reaches this point, she still tries to give her children hope.
But how many people know the pain in her own heart?
Zhang Jiuyan rode on the horse, heard their conversation, and looked back at them.
The girl's mother saw Zhang Jiuyan's gaze, and her dull eyes just now were filled with hope, looking at Zhang Jiuyan with expectation.
Zhang Jiuyan couldn't bear to let such a loving mother down, so he sighed in his heart, forget it, sooner or later, he would have to give them food, so let's do it now.
Zhang Jiuyan tied his horse's head and ordered the convoy to stop, then said to the hungry people: "It's all the villagers from all villages. Seeing that you are suffering, I feel uncomfortable.
Now I will give you three kilograms of food each to express my feelings. You can take it to accuse me."
As soon as Zhang Jiuyan said this, the girl's mother immediately knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Zhang Jiuyan. Her tears fell down like broken string beads.
"Thank you, Master Jiu, Master Jiu, Master Jiu, good people will be rewarded. God will bless you."
"Yes, yes, Master Jiu will definitely be rich and powerful in the future."
The hungry people were cheering and laughing, kneeling all over the ground, saying words of thanks one by one.
