Du Qi is still drinking tea and basking in the sun, and his life is quite comfortable. Now the entire Jiangyin County is under his control. Especially in Jiangyin County, there already existed Jinyiwei. Because Jin Yiwei can be mobilized, it is not difficult for Du Qi to take action.
The grain merchants headed by Mai Hong have already started to buy grain, but because of the sudden rise in grain prices, they have not taken any action for the time being. Just like this, Du Qi made adjustments again, and the food price increased again.
Today's food prices are rising steadily.
In fact, Du Qi never went to notify one by one.
Among the grain merchants, there are grain merchants affiliated to the county government, but they are relatively hidden and have never been known. Du Qi just ordered him to raise the price directly, and also said that there were merchants from Jinling County to buy grain. As soon as this news came out, the businessmen in the entire Jiangyin County were naturally on the lookout.
Everyone knows that rising food prices can make money, so they keep raising prices one by one.
The rise in prices makes there are prices but no markets.
If your price is low, I will not sell it.
Therefore, as soon as the news came out, the price of grain in Jiangyin County rose rapidly in a short period of time. The most important thing is that the government has not said anything, even the grain merchants affiliated to the government are all increasing their prices, each of them is increasing rapidly, and they don't care about anything else.
? When Liu Xi and his group came to buy grain again, they found that the price of grain had more than doubled. Seeing this situation, they knew that they could not delay any longer. If they continued to delay, in the end, they might not be able to complete Jiang Yu's task, so they began to buy grain in large quantities one by one.
Today's food prices are more than four or five times higher than before.
The price is already extremely high.
When these grain merchants bought grain in large quantities, the grain merchants in the entire Jiangyin County sold grain on a large scale, and even some people had surplus grain, and they followed suit when they saw it.
After all, food is expensive now.
Now it can be sold to make money.
Therefore, there are large quantities of food, otherwise they will be purchased by Liu Xi and others.
For four days in a row, the merchants brought by Mai Hong kept buying food. More and more grains are piled up in the granary they built. A large amount of money has already been used.
Especially on the last day, the price of food is already sky-high. The grain in the entire Jiangyin County has been sold out. Even the grain of many people was sold out.
All the food gathered in Mai Hong's hands.
On this day, in the yard.
Everyone gathered in Mai Hong's yard.
There was no worried expression on Mai Hong's old face, but a leisurely and leisurely expression. He looked around at the people sitting in the hall, and said with a smile: "Everyone, as of today, all the food is in our hands. The next step is to make money. We will sell the food immediately, based on today's food price , and then double the price of grain and sell it. Those who are willing to buy will buy it. Those who are not willing to buy, we will not force it. Anyway, now, we have the initiative."
Everyone laughed.
Now the grain in Jiangyin County is in their hands. They say how much it is per catty, that is how much it is per catty.
The pricing power of food is in their hands.
After receiving the order, a group of people went to act separately to carry out Mai Hong's arrangement.
Everyone made their own arrangements, and within a short time, they began to sell food. The brand-new food price has made the price of food in the entire Jiangyin County reach a sky-high level, which is daunting.
When Du Qi got the news from the county government, it happened that Xu Yinhe also came to visit the county government. In fact, when the price of grain was rising like a raging fire, when the merchants in Jinling County headed by Mai Hong purchased grain on a large scale, he had already come to the city and lived in the city so that he could respond at any time.
Xu Yinhe was amazed by the eventually raised grain prices, and even more amazed by the ambitions of Mai Hong and others. The food price, which had already been raised to sky-high prices, suddenly doubled again now, which is really terrifying.
Seeing Du Qi, Xu Yinhe saluted and said, "Your Majesty!"
Du Qi said: "Patriarch Xu came today for the news that Mai Hong and others started selling grain, right?"
Xu Yinhe said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Du Qi said: "You arrange it, notify the government's granary, open the granary to sell the grain, and sell it at the old grain price. In addition, there is news that the grain purchased from Jiangdu County is being delivered continuously. The county will not be short of food. Third, issue a notice in the name of the government,Now the grain in Jiangyin County is only allowed to enter, not to exit. "
"yes!"
Xu Yinhe responded immediately.
He was even more amazed in his heart.
Du Qi's song is simply a draw from the bottom of the pot. Grain is continuously transported from Jiangdu to Jiangyin County, so the grain of the major merchants cannot be sold. As for the food that cannot be transported away, it is impossible for the merchants headed by Mai Hong to take the food away, and all the food has to be placed in Jiangyin County.
This means that the people headed by Mai Hong took money to come to Jiangyin County, but in the end, they stole chickens without losing money.
Xu Yinhe stepped back excitedly, then quickly released the news and made arrangements.
The government has already prepared for it.
The grain shop affiliated to the government has already started selling grain, and the price of grain is extremely cheap. This incident, relatively speaking, is not a big disturbance, at most the common people are very excited. However, when countless grains were sent from Jiangdu, and the grains purchased by merchants in large quantities were not allowed to leave Jiangyin County, it would be a fatal blow to Mai Hong and others.
As soon as the news came out, there were originally people buying grain at the merchant's shop in Jinling County, but now there was no one there.
When the businessmen got the news, they all panicked.
Jiangyin County actually overshadowed them. Not daring to waste time, they all came to the mansion quickly, gathered in front of Mai Hong, and talked about the changes in the market in Jiangyin County.
After Mai Hong finished listening, his expression was also cold and solemn.
A heart sank.
Mai Hong said in a deep voice, "Du Ye, the county magistrate of Jiangyin County, has already left. Jiangyin County today has no leader and has lost the person who presides over the overall situation. Under this premise, how can Jiangyin County make a decision?" How to deal with it?"
Liu Xi said: "Mai Gong, now is not the time to discuss whether the Jiangyin County government can make such an arrangement. It is the Jiangyin County government that has already taken action against us. The current situation is quite unfavorable."
The rest of the people echoed.
The expressions on each of their faces were extremely solemn.
Very worried.
Mai Hong gave a low shout of silence, and then everyone fell silent.
A pair of eyes fell on Mai Hong again, only to hear Mai Hong say: "Under the current situation, do we have any extra choices? No, we have no extra choices. Right now the grain cannot be transported away, and the government , It turned out that regulations were issued to restrict us from leaving. So right now, we can only take countermeasures and fight back strongly."
Liu Xi asked: "Mike Gong, how can we fight back?"
The rest of the people also nodded one after another.
Everyone agrees with Mai Hong's analysis, the government's arrangement is really ulterior motives. What's more, it is clear that Jiangyin County has already made preparations to target them.
So this is a pit.
What they have to do now is to break this pit. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
