After Li Yuanjing left.
"Father, are you really going to start gathering food to fight for a First Rank Aristocratic Family?”
Zheng Yunxiu stood up from her kneeling position and walked out of the screen. Her natural movements were pleasing to the eye.
"Of course, not only for the sake of obtaining the evaluation of a first-rank aristocratic family, but also for the sake of the people of Hedong.”
Zheng Fengchi already had a mountain of gold and silver, of course he had the world in his heart. Three days ago, he had already donated a sum of 150,000 dans of grain.
"This King Zhao is truly not simple. It's just that he brought this news here with impure intentions.”
Zheng Yunxiu was sipping tea. Her fingers holding the tea were as exquisite as a fine piece of art. Her elegant appearance was beautiful.
"Father, of course I know. It's fine to owe him a favor.”
Zheng Fengchi's wish was naturally to let the Zheng family rise to a higher level.
He immediately found his confidant and transferred all the food in the pass to Chang 'an.
One could imagine how many aristocratic families would fight to the death for this 'grain donation' banquet.
And the mastermind behind all of this was just an eight-year-old child.
Zheng Fengchi had the support of the King of Zhao, so he had some confidence.
The Emperor should be supporting the Zhangsun Clan.
......
Imperial Palace, Health Palace.
At this time, Li Yuan had already moved to this palace with the imperial concubines and concubines. This was all thanks to Li Yuanjing's impeachment of the Emperor in the Imperial Court.
"I bought wheat for three copper coins per bushel, and now I want to sell it for twenty copper coins per bushel. The difference is seventeen copper coins!”
"Son, you want to earn the people's hard-earned money. Does your conscience hurt?”
Li Yuan reprimanded Li Yuanjing righteously. After reprimanding him, he even clutched his little heart, feeling as if he was about to have a seizure.
Li Yuanjing whistled and ignored the old man."Dad, don't be jealous. You won't be able to earn so much money in your lifetime.”
"Ah!"
Li Yuan almost had a brain attack, and he staggered.
"Yuanjing, how can you talk to your father like that?" Mo Lifang reprimanded.”
Previously, Li Yuan and Mo Lifang were afraid that Li Yuanjing wouldn't be able to repay Li Er's 'murder loan', but now they were worried again.
His son had already sold the grain and paid off the interest.
Now, he still had more than ten warehouses of grain on hand, which was close to 300,000 dans. If he said that he would sell it at a high price, it would be too black-hearted to scam the people.
It would be a pity to sell it at a low price.
Therefore, Li Yuan thought of a way yesterday. Mo Lifang came forward and said gently,
"Yuanjing, why don't you donate these ten or so warehouses of grain? That way, the people will praise you as a wise prince.”
Donate my ass!
I want to do something big.
Of course, Li Yuanjing didn't dare to say it out loud. Otherwise, his mother would have been fried with bamboo shoots and meat.
"I plan to sell these ten or so warehouses of grain to the Cui family of Boling. They will definitely need them.”Li Yuanjing smiled.
"You really want to anger them to death?”
Li Yuan revealed a strange expression.
He had once asked his son where he had bought more than ten warehouses of grain for more than a thousand strings of strings. Later on, when he asked, it turned out that they had purchased it from the Cui family. The Cui family of Boling was a first-class family in the world, so it was not strange for them to have so much food.
just
Ten days ago, he bought it from the Cui family for three copper coins. If he sold it to the other party for 20 copper coins now, the other party would definitely be angered to death.
After this round trip, Cui Clan would have to make up for the difference of tens of thousands of strings.
F * ck, is this something a human should do?
Anyway, Li Yuan would be angered to death.
......
Cui of Boling County is the head of the famous family.
Compared to the Zheng Residence, the Cui Residence was not as luxurious. Instead, it was very simple and unadorned.
Such a frugal habit, no wonder the Cui family of Boling had been passed down for thousands of years.
Because the mansion was huge, all six members of the Cui Clan lived here.
There were more than two hundred direct descendants of the sixth branch.
But today, in the main hall.
The masters of the six families gathered here, each of them frowning. Some were even furious, as if they had been tricked.
"Third Uncle, we've been tricked by the King of Zhao.”
"Ten days ago, he bought 300,000 dans of wheat at a low price. He must have known about the drought in the east of the river.”
"Now that the price of grain has skyrocketed, if we had that 300,000 dan of wheat, we could buy more than a few Cui residences with this money.”
A young man in his twenties said indignantly. He also voiced everyone's thoughts.
King Zhao was too cunning!
Wasn't this just a scam?
By purchasing grains from Cui Clan at a low price, Cui Clan had lost tens of thousands of yuan.
For hundreds of years, Cui Clan had never suffered such a great loss.
The Cui family missed the opportunity to become rich!
The middle-aged man who was addressed as Third Uncle opened his eyes and immediately reprimanded,"Since we're doing business, we have to pay and deliver. Who knows about the drought in the east of the river?”
"I remember that you also tried your best to facilitate this large transaction that day, wanting to throw this batch of wheat to the King of Zhao. Because the autumn harvest is coming soon, the grain is as cheap as grass, and I'm afraid that the price of wheat will drop to one or two copper coins per bushel.”
"We are not as well-informed as the King of Zhao. If we are not as skilled as him, we should admit defeat. Take this as a lesson and don't make the same mistake in the future.”
"What did our Cui family's ancestral teachings say?”
This speech indeed made the dozen people in the hall sigh in admiration.
"Third Uncle, I was wrong."
The young man from before glanced at the ancestral teachings from the Book of Changes on the plaque in the hall and immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake.
Cui's ancestral teachings: see good will be promoted, there are mistakes will be corrected.
"But the King of Zhao stole food from our Cui Tiger, so we will remember this grudge," Third Uncle Cui said lightly.”
"When the King of Zhao sells this batch of grain to the people, we will impeach the King of Zhao for hoarding. His Majesty's imperial edict once said: If there is a low price to buy high price of grain, confiscate the property, the serious will implicate the three tribes.”
Sure enough, everyone nodded in agreement. The family head was indeed the best.
The Cui family of Boling had always been in the business of buying at a low price and selling at a high price. This batch of grain was originally intended to be taken over by the King of Zhao. They did not expect that the drought in the east of the river would turn this batch of grain into gold.
Zhao Wang, who was regarded as the scapegoat by the Cui family, suddenly became a financial backer. Sigh, this kid was really lucky.
Third Uncle Cui nodded as the servant of Cui Family walked into the hall.
"The King of Zhao requests an audience," the servant reported.
F * ck?
The eyes of the people of the Cui family's sixth branch popped out.
I just wanted to skin you alive, and now you're here?
Third Uncle Cui thought for a moment.”
The six families were all shocked. It seemed that the family head was very interested in this King Zhao.
