Chapter 253 Bianliang grain merchants do not sell grain

One thousand pills of aphrodisiac pills, ten taels of silver per pill, this is ten thousand taels of silver, which is converted into RMB to reach 10 million.

The total amount seems to be small, but you should know that Chen Buer has almost no cost, and this money is owned by him personally. Why don’t he make money if he has money?

Moreover, as soon as the Liao Kingdom market opens, future orders can only be described as massive amounts, which is simply a big hit.

The key is that the Yang Yang Pill is not an antibiotic, and this medicine cannot save people. If you use too much, it will only make people addicted to women, have no intention of working, and have no energy to go to work.

The upper-level officials of the Liao Kingdom were all drunk and dreaming. This is also good news for the Great Zhou Dynasty?

So Chen Buer thought he could consider it completely. Anyway, he had drugs in his space hospital, and many drugs were magical medicines in this era, so he was not afraid that no one would buy them.

You should know that in ancient times, the circulating goods were mainly copper coins, and large-scale transactions were paid in gold or silver, and silver notes (jiaozi), but they were generally limited to the same city transactions, and they were only acquaintances and old relationships.

In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no "bank" that connected the whole country. It was a dream to deposit and repay the whole country in this era.

However, in ancient times, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was located, silver and gold were relatively "short" currencies because they were not easy to mine.

If Chen Buer obtained a large amount of gold and silver from the Liao Kingdom, he would not spit it out and would not flow back to the transaction.

Gradually, there are fewer tradable currencies in the Liao market, and the economy will fall into a crisis, and eventually "vicious deflation" will occur, which can contribute to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Chen Buer was excited when he thought of this, and felt that he was indeed a reborn person and could use trade wars to attack the economies of other countries. It was simply amazing.

Unfortunately, Chen Buer is thinking about how to calculate the economic accounts now, but he doesn't have a political account.

The Liao Kingdom's economy is really going to collapse. There is no World Bank, no International Monetary Fund, and there is no place for Liao Kingdom to borrow loans from international organizations. So what will happen next? It goes without saying.

What should I do if I have no money? Of course I'm robbing it.

The surrounding countries of Liao Kingdom are all poor, and the only rich country is the Great Zhou. If there is a day when Liao Kingdom will definitely invade the south with all its might, the Great Zhou will be really miserable.

Yelu Dedu left with satisfaction. Before leaving, he carried a lot of gold in as deposits, which made Jingshitang very excited.

Chen Buer returned to the study while humming a small song. When he was trying to use his golden fingers to quickly become a rich man, Huang Yi also came back.

"Young Master, I won't finish what you told me."

Chen Buer blinked, a little confused. He had previously told Huang Yi and the others to purchase a large amount of grain. This was a spending money, so how could he not complete the task?

"What's going on? You can't even spend money? It's so stupid."

"Young master, those grain merchants are unwilling to sell grain now. Apart from retail, we need tens of thousands of stones of grain at once. People refuse to ship it, and all of them refuse to do so."

Ten thousand stones of grain, converted into the weight of later generations, is about 600 tons, which is equivalent to the load capacity of ten trains, which can be used for 200 to 250 soldiers for a year.

Of course, the soldiers are all big men and have a good appetite. For ordinary people, 10,000 stones of grain can be used for about 300 to 400 people for a year.

Chen Buer's family and clinic are located in the hospital, and there are nearly a hundred people. In addition, he has relatives and friends, so he must have some care, so he thought about buying more grain.

Besides, his space hospital covers an area of ​​more than 1,500 acres, and there is no place to pile up grain.

So he asked Huang Yi and the others to buy more than 50,000 shi of grain. If you can eat it, let’s talk about it.

Now that he has money and has no place to buy food, Chen Buer fell into deep thought.

If you have money but don’t make money, you will be bastards unless those grain merchants have formed an alliance within the country and are preparing to hoard goods, causing a shortage of grain in the market to take the opportunity to raise prices.

It seems that this drought is inevitable and will happen soon, but I don’t know how big it will be.

Chen Buer was not a saint, and he didn't expect to seek benefits and food for the people of the world. This is what the court should do. He, an ordinary citizen, would support the whole world?

This is not the Virgin, this is stupid, because he is afraid that the Chai family’s knife will not be fast enough?

To win people's hearts is a very taboo thing in feudal society.

Now that we don’t sell food, what can you do? You can’t buy it even if you have money. Can you eat gold and silver at that time?

Chen Buer was a little anxious. His space hospital had 6,000 taels of ingredients purchased, which were basically cooked food, and he had eaten a lot of them in the month of escape from Liaodong.

Now that I don’t have food in my hands, I feel panicked.

Suddenly, he came up with an idea: "Huang Yi, I will give you a task to investigate where the warehouses of major grain merchants are clearly investigated. Do you understand?"

Huang Yi was excited, "Young Master, what you mean..."

Chen Buer smiled and said, "You guessed it right. If they don't want to eat it, then let's go and pick it up by ourselves."

Bianliang City is located in the north. For a megacity with a population of one million, the daily food demand is very large.

However, the grain output in the north is not high, so it requires walking through the canal and transporting large amounts of grain produced in Jiangnan to the capital.

This is also one of the main reasons why Emperor Taizu of Zhou established his capital in Kaifeng, which is that it is convenient for transporting the tank.

If the capital is established in Luoyang or Chang'an and the land passes, the cost of transporting food alone will be an astronomical figure.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, famine occurred in Guanzhong. The emperors all needed to bring civil and military officials, and their wives from all over Luoyang to "just eat" because Chang'an was too far from the canal and the food could not be transported in large quantities.

The places where the big grain merchants in Bianliang City store grain are very easy to find. As long as they go east along the Bian River, there will be warehouses where there is a wharf. Just ask for a little information and you will know where the granary is.

"Along the River During the Qingming Festival", there are migrant workers carrying grain to the warehouse, and there are managers who are distributing their funds to facilitate subsequent settlement of wages.

The next day, Chen Buer was too lazy to recite the letter and ran for the food and clothing of the whole family. He felt that he was very great.

He quietly took the fat man, thin man, Huang Yi and Huang twenty-four people out of Yangzhou Gate and headed east.

Walking through autumn all the way, it looks like a young master is on a trip. In fact, Huang Yi has been introducing whose granary is this, about how much grain is there. Whose warehouse is this, about how much stone grain is there.

Chen Buer also saw with his own eyes a large number of ships leaning on the shore, and countless migrant workers were carrying food on their backs. From a distance, they looked like groups of ants.

These life-saving grains are concentrated in the hands of a small number of grain merchants, and behind these grain merchants, there is often a powerful man who no one dares to offend.
