Shu Wenqing was also greeted with Chen Tian. Both of them had obvious anxiousness. They quickly welcomed Li Ling into the hall, then looked at him again, and asked again: "Brother Ling, how did you get from Xiangfan this time?"

Li Ling didn't even have time to drink hot tea. Seeing that they were so anxious to ask questions, he knew that they were really anxious, so he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, everything is in my control. I came back this time to solve the trouble here."

"Seriously?" Chen Tian was delighted when he heard this, "But now the high prices of food in the city are so shocked that I am all shocked. There are many people who sell their land to survive. Can you really turn it around in one fell swoop?"

Someone who was even more nervous was Shu Wenqing, who couldn't even say anything. He could only look at Li Ling and wait for him to say more words to relieve his peace of mind. Compared to Chen Tian, ​​he was pulled into the water by Li Ling, and nearly half of his wealth was smashed on the food, but now he was in a loss to tears.

Let’s look at other fellow merchants from Guang'an, but they all made a lot of money and would soon have a lot of land to buy. How could this sharp contrast make him feel at ease? Naturally, I hope that Boss Ling, who brought him into the water, can have appropriate countermeasures.

Li Ling smiled again and said, "Of course, I'm going to hide it from you. I already have food on my hands, and the numbers are only a lot more than before. Do you think this is not enough to change the current situation?"

"Seriously? Where did you get the food?"

"But even if you take out the food, their conspiracy will fail? And, in this way, we can make money?"

The two asked questions one after another, but their focus was different. Li Ling then took a sip of the cup and smiled and said, "As one of the two major grain merchants in Xiangfan, the Fan family has more grain on hand than us, right? They have already promised to sell the grain to me at a fair price, and the price is thirteen cents."

"So cheap?" The two of them said almost at the same time, and then when they looked at each other, they both found the incredible meaning in the other's eyes, which was too unexpected to them.

"Of course, they have also collected the money and signed a contract. How can there be any fakes? Now the food belonging to the Fan family in Suizhou belongs to us." Li Ling said, then took out a piece of the word and pushed it in front of Chen Tian. The latter didn't care about any etiquette, so he picked it up and swept it quickly. After seeing this, his originally frowning brow quickly dissipated, and finally saw a smile on his face: "Really, they really sold hundreds of thousands of stones of grain to you."

"That's right, so I'm just about to ask Boss Shen, you'll send someone to take over the grain. One thing you must do is to be as low-key as possible, and it's best to hide it from others, and then sell the grain at a fair price. I think with the reputation of the Shen family, as long as the people in the city are told, the people in the city are still willing to believe it, and then the outrageously high grain prices in the city will naturally fall.

"Not only that, as long as we really pull down the grain price again at this time, the grain in the hands of those profiteers will inevitably be smashed into their hands. At that time, we can take advantage of the situation and defeat them in one fell swoop." The second half of the sentence was said to Shu Wenqing.

He naturally understood what Li Ling had not finished saying. Once they were defeated, it was time to make money at home, which greatly boosted Shu Wenqing's spirit, but then he became a little worried: "Can this really happen?"

"You two think why the food price is raised to such a high?" Li Ling saw that there was still a little doubt in their eyes, so he simply explained it more clearly.

"Of course it's because there is not enough food, it's because they put all the food on the market and stock up on the market, so they let them bid at will."

"Your statement is right or not. In fact, it is more clear that the food needed by the people of Suizhou cannot be met. In fact, the grain that the people of Suizhou now stocked up more than the people of Suizhou needs. Even the food we get from the Fan family is enough for the people of the whole city to eat for several months. So, what we have to do is to sell a large amount of grain as before, so that everyone can believe that food is no longer a problem, and everything will be solved. The price of grain will fall. Those who were willing to sell the land for ordering food will also repent - fortunately, the final contract has not been signed, and there is still room for maneuver."

Chen Tianshen nodded with consent, but then frowned and said, "But isn't this back to the past? We did this before, and then most of the food was bought by them, but the people didn't get much." After all, when it comes to wealth, ordinary Dousheng Xiaomin is not the opponent of these big businessmen?

"The previous situation will not repeat, because they can no longer buy more money to buy my food." Li Ling smiled confidently, "Okay, let's act as planned first, get the food as soon as possible, and then strive to start selling grain at a fair price tomorrow and the next day. I'm worried that if someone will be cheated by them after one day."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements now. By the way, I can also send someone out to preach and let the villagers in the city wait for a day. After tomorrow, I can go to my store to buy food." Chen Tian came up with another Dharma.

"Okay, just follow what you said." Li Ling nodded and responded, then stretched, "Okay, let's leave everything to you next. I'll go back and have a nap. Before tomorrow, don't come to me if there is no big deal." After saying that, he stood up and saw them with some strange sightings, Shi Shi left. It seemed that this business war was just a trivial matter.

...

Liang Yuan.

As another big cart entered the door, a considerable number of copper coins were sent to the merchants. Looking at these black and yellow copper coins, these people showed joy.

"From now on, the copper coins we have in our hands are more than half of Suizhou City, right?"

"It's almost the same. At least it's becoming more and more difficult to acquire it recently. It's obvious that we have collected all the copper coins."

"That's good, we can almost increase the price of the copper coins. This time we have spent a lot of money to get. The interest rate is not low every day. The longer we delay, the less we earn."

After a few people made some decisions, they decided to start with the price of copper coins tomorrow. This is a field they have never been involved in, but their success in the shopping mall has long forgotten what failure is. Even opponents like the Shen family are easily suppressed by them. Who else can be their opponent in Suizhou City?

So in order to make this money, they borrowed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from several local bank banks and exchanged silver for copper coins. As for how they borrowed such a large amount of silver from the bank bank, it was actually simple - that is, the land deeds and land deeds that they had already obtained. Those documents only need a handprint and official certificate to become their things. In their eyes, in the eyes of merchants among the bank bank, this is naturally a cooked duck and will never fly. After all, they still have food on their hands, but there is no food outside.

Just as these merchants agreed to think about the benefits of the future, a gong suddenly sounded outside, interrupting their thinking.

This made several people a little unhappy: "Why are there so noisy outside?"

Naturally, the following people went to execute this sentence. After a while, a servant ran back with a strange look: "Several masters, something strange happened outside. Someone was ringing the gong to promote it everywhere, saying that the Shen family had food again and would be sold at a fair price after tomorrow."

"What?" Hu Guanjue was the first to change his color and shouted, "This is impossible!"

Then several other merchants followed up: "We have bought all their food long ago, so the number will not be fake. Moreover, even if it is really preserved, they should consider it for their own family. How could they dare to spread messages all over the city like this? It is clear that the people of the whole city will go to buy food tomorrow?"

"They are trying to stop us, that's it! Because they know that the villagers are willing to give out the land to exchange for our food, they will use this trick to ruin our good things!"

"It's not bad, they even just wanted to hold us back, but they actually had no food in their hands. They had such vicious thoughts and means. They even lied and deceived people in order to ruin our affairs!"

Everyone said it and said it, the more they felt that this judgment would not be wrong, and then they began to curse the despicableness of the Shen family. Only Cai Zhiyi was silent at this time, frowned and fell into deep thought. He always felt that things were not that simple. No matter how stupid or anxious the Shen family was, they would not lie about such things. Not only would the consequences be serious, but what would it be if it really took him to hold it for a day?

Until everyone was almost scolding, he said, "Everyone, you can't underestimate this matter. Maybe the Shen family really has some means. So we must take a countermeasure just in case. If they really start selling grain again tomorrow, what should we do?"

Everyone was stunned by this question, but then he said happily: "What else can I do? Of course, I will buy all the food as before. How much does he have, how much will we buy... Anyway, we have so many copper coins in our hands now..."

"But don't forget that we use these copper coins to make more money!" Cai Zhiyi reminded coldly. This made everyone tremble again. Then he remembered that his family was actually owing foreign debts. Once the transaction of copper coins could not be completed, the consequences would be extremely serious.

Cai Zhiyi looked deeper than them, and at the same time he was even more worried - because he suddenly discovered a big problem, that is, even the copper coins in his hand may not really belong to his own family. The silver they bought were exchanged for the land deeds, and those land deeds were not considered their own things now.
