Chapter 394 Plan Acceleration

"Don't worry, we have plenty of grain."

Mrs. Zeng and the others looked unconvinced, "We have so many common people in Nanyang, how much grain do you have?"

Young Master Ji explained, "In fact, we are not fighting alone, we have allies in the Ji family. Our allies are very powerful. Even if our Ji family's grain is sold out, we still have allies, and our allies have a lot of grain. So, Auntie, don't worry, Nanyang affordable grain will always be available for sale."

"Does your Ji family have allies? Who are the allies?"

"Our ally is the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce."

"The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is actually your ally?"

"Before, I vaguely felt that those people in the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce hated your Ji family and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. It turns out to be true."

"You are all good businessmen."

At this time, Young Master Ji happened to see Wu Ren, and pointed at him, "Look, that's the shopkeeper Wu of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce."

Mrs. Zeng and the others looked over in unison.

"A spirited young man, are you married?"

"Where is he from? How old is he this year? Who is his family?"

Young Master Ji: ...

"I'll call him over, and you can ask him yourself?"

"Okay, okay."

Young Master Ji waved at Wu Ren.

When Wu Ren came over, he said, "I'll leave this to you. I'll leave for a while."

After Young Master Ji left, Wu Ren was instantly surrounded by the ladies.

Liaodong County, Houcheng

Lv Songli has returned to Houcheng from Pingguo County. The plan in Nanyang has entered the second stage. This is a game of funds. It doesn't matter whether she stays in Pingguo County or not.

Lv Desheng looked at the news from Nanyang, "Tsk tsk, Ji Wuyin did this in Nanyang. When the truth finally comes out, will our Liaodong County be scolded by grain merchants from all over the country?"

Lv Songli quickly processed the documents on the desk.

Hearing her father's words, Lu Songli said indifferently, "You can scold me if you want to. If you do great things but cherish yourself, and try to please everyone, you will only suffer in the end."

Being in such a position, Lu Songli deeply understands why the middle class always suffers when the country encounters an economic crisis.

Lu Desheng looked at his daughter meaningfully. He seriously suspected that his daughter was blaming someone else.

In the secret report sent back by Zhang Xian to the emperor before, two plans were mentioned. One of them is the plan they are currently implementing in Nanyang. The other plan is Fan Zhongyan's eternal conspiracy.

But when Song Mo learned about the money and grain that the whole plan would require and the infamy he would bear, he chose to let his people share his worries and pass on all the risks.

So Lu Desheng felt that his daughter's words "do great things but cherish yourself" were scolding Song Mo, but Song Mo, this bastard, was scolded.

"My daughter, will it be detrimental to the expansion of Liaodong Chamber of Commerce outside if you deal with foreign grain merchants like this?"

Lv Songli raised her eyebrows. In the business world, would she still be afraid of them?

Moreover, although these foreign grain merchants were cut off by her, she at least left them with roots, right?

Besides, she still has a trick up her sleeve. She knows that after hitting a stick, she will give a sweet date. I believe that the date will satisfy them. Then the leeks will soon flourish again.

"Dad, don't worry about that problem. Now, the situation in Nanyang is accelerating, and Chang'an can also be arranged."

"Okay."

Xuchang

Che Jiuming invited grain merchants from all over the country to discuss the big plan that day, and agreed to work together to buy out the grain of Ji's branch.

Although Ji's branch sells grain by household and per capita, Nanyang is the hinterland of the Central Plains and also the county with the largest population. The population of the entire Nanyang before the earthquake was as high as more than two million, ranking first among all the counties in Dali.

After the earthquake in Nanyang, some people died and some fled. Even so, Nanyang still has a population of more than one million.

With so many people, and the Ji family is not a government after all, it cannot openly count the population and household registration, etc., and can only roughly register, and even cannot verify one by one. There is no way, the verification consumes too much manpower, material resources and time.

Therefore, Che Jiuming can take advantage of the loophole to eat Ji's grain.

And he did so. He would buy 30,000 stones of Ji's grain every day, and he did not ask other grain merchants to eat more grain than him.

But what did he find? These guys were almost watching, and did not work together to buy Ji's branch of grain as agreed!

He was fooled! Che Jiuming was furious.

On the day of the meeting, Che Jiuming did not want them to take out the silver and concentrate it on him, so that he could arrange to buy grain.

But Che Jiu Ming had nothing to pledge, and these grain merchants were not stupid, so of course they would not agree.

Che Jiu Ming wanted other members of the Grain Merchants Association to come out as guarantors, but these people had their own thoughts and did not agree.

In the end, everyone only made a verbal agreement.

Che Jiu Ming did not expect that they could be as dedicated as he was.

He thought that they could do a little bit of their work, that would be enough. Just think of it as for themselves, they should also do something, right?

Is this a high requirement? Not high, right? But they did not do it.

At this time, Che Jiu Ming, who knew the truth, was furious and cursed directly, "A mob! They deserve to lose money!"

Che Jiuming didn't know that it was human nature to chase the rise and sell the fall. If the situation was very good, no matter how much it cost, someone would follow up. If the situation was not good, even if they were only asked to pay a few cents, they would not be willing to do so.

One wave has not settled, another wave rises.

On the eighth day, Young Master Ji and Wu Ren led a team to Xuchang to pull grain. They had secretly purchased grain from the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Association before, and some of them were not convenient to pick up at that time, so they left it.

Che Jiuming looked at Mei Zishan, Zhou Beicheng and others in disbelief. Well, he said where did the Ji family get so much grain.

"Big rat, big rat, you guys who eat ins and outs!" Che Jiuming pointed at their noses and scolded.

Mei Zishan was unhappy, "Although we all formed an offensive and defensive alliance, it was obviously not the right situation at that time, and we were not allowed to run?"

"You ran fast, and we are left at the bottom?"

Amid their infighting, Young Master Ji and Wu Ren took away the remaining grain.

The next day, the Ji branch announced, "The price of grain has been reduced to 100 wen per dou."

"Ji Wuyin has gone crazy!" This was the common thought of all grain merchants in Yuzhou.
