Chapter 397 Winning

With the unexpected death of Che Jiu Ming, the president of Yuzhou Grain Merchants Association, and the bankruptcy of his trusted members, the entire Yuzhou Grain Merchants Association collapsed.

The endings of each member were also very different.

The better ones, such as Meizishan and Zhou Beicheng, were eliminated with a small loss.

The rest were all tragic, such as the Lin family and the Mo family.

They were considered Che Jiu Ming's trusted confidants. Like him, in order to take this opportunity to make a fortune, they hoarded a lot of grain.

For these grains, they not only spent all the cash, but also took all the fields, shops and other industries as collateral to borrow silver from the money house.

In the end, because of the play, the assets were not enough to pay the debts, and all the family property was wiped out overnight.

And Che Jiu Ming, the president of the Grain Merchants Association, lost his life. Although he did not blow up his position, it would be a matter of time if he did not have an accident.

More than one million shi of grain of the Che family was finally dealt with.

The Che family owed Liu's bank about 854,000 taels of silver and interest, and the Che government used grain to pay it all off, spending a full one million shi of grain. The remaining 160,000 shi were all sold by the Che government, and sold at the lowest price.

After the funeral, the Che government's huge industry with a total value of more than 2 million was left with only a few hundred thousand taels of cash.

At this point, the Lin family and the Mo family of the Che government could no longer stay in Xuchang, and they were ready to move their families to other places to visit relatives.

The fate of the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Association is a pity, and it also makes people realize that any game struggle is cruel.

At this time, the lights of the Ji branch were brightly lit.

The managers of the Ji business and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce were busy counting the accounts and goods.

Ji Wuyin and his son, Wu Ren, Lu Wei, etc., were counting their gains in Nanyang this time.

This round, they won and got a big piece of fat meat.

Ji Wuyin said, "When we came to Nanyang, we prepared 400,000 shi of grain and 5 million taels of silver."

Wu Ren confirmed, "Yes, these 400,000 shi of grain were prepared by your Ji family, and there were 2 million taels of silver. Our Liaodong Chamber of Commerce sent 3 million taels of silver."

Young Master Ji continued, "At that time, the number of grain held by the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce was around 2 million shi, and the cash was around 800,000 taels."

Lu Wei also smiled and continued, "The grain transported by foreign grain merchants was also in the millions of shi."

Ji Wuyin stroked his beard with a smile, "The two grains added up to about 3 million shi, and in the end they were divided into four parts."

Young Master Ji couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Our Liao-Ji Alliance got the lion's share of it, 1.8 million shi."

At present, the total amount of grain they have is as high as 3.2 million shi, which is terrifying.

Everyone who knows this total feels a little unreal.

Ji Wuyin looked at the young people so excited, and deliberately suppressed them, "Don't forget, one million dan of grain must be returned to Changping Warehouse."

They and the emperor had borrowed one million dan of grain from Changping Warehouse before.

Wu Ren smiled and said, "Uncle Ji, we know that it is just right to use the one million dan of grain that the Chefu used to pay off the debt to pay it back."

"Go on."

"Then let's talk about silver. We didn't make much."

The two families together used a total of 5 million taels of silver.

This silver also played a vital role in this battle.

They first used Zhang Xian to take one million taels of silver as collateral, and borrowed one million dan of grain from Changping Warehouse with Song Mo.

After that, they borrowed more than one million taels of grain to Che Jiuming, Lin Zhanggui, Mo Zhanggui and others, and when the grain price was finally lowered, they secretly bought grain sold by foreign grain merchants, all of which were used with this silver.

The silver went in and out, and finally maintained the original amount.

"It's normal that we didn't make any money. The silver lost in Nanyang was actually the initial 800,000 taels of emergency money of the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Association."

"Yes. The 800,000 taels went to the hands of foreign grain merchants. They lost grain and got more than 800,000 taels of silver. In general, they lost more than half."

"The remaining 1.2 million shi of grain, Xie Zhan's faction took about 500,000 shi."

"The grain that flowed into the hands of the people of Nanyang was about 600,000 shi. This grain can probably feed them for two months."

The last 100,000 shi of grain was consumed during this period.

"The numbers are all right."

It can be said that in this game, their Liaoji Alliance won.

The people also won, buying a large amount of grain at a price lower than the market price.

Xie Zhan's faction, following behind them, also won.

The losers were the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Association and the foreign grain merchants who transported grain to Nanyang.

The battle of Nanyang was originally Lv Songli's effort to help Zhang Xian solve the disaster relief problem and gain credit for her father in exchange for the position of governor. Its political significance cannot be measured by money and grain.

Wu Ren and Lu Wei looked at each other and clasped their fists towards Ji Wuyin at the same time, "Uncle Ji, congratulations."

Two plus one equals five, and each of them, the Ji family and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, can get 900,000 shi of grain.

"You kid, congratulations."

Both sides smiled at each other.

Ji Wuyin was really impressed by Lv Songli.

Use the surplus wealth to benefit the poor.

Solve political problems with economic means, it's amazing, women are really as good as men.

They continued to discuss, and finally they decided that Ji Wuyin and Lu Wei would take one million shi of grain back to Liaodong County.

It is already November now. The people have enough food to last for two months. They plan to leave 800,000 shi of food, which can almost sustain Nanyang until the summer grain next year.

Wu Ren and Young Master Ji will continue to stay in Nanyang.

Wu Ren originally brought people out to open shops and set up trade routes. He planned to use Qingzhou as the first stop, but Nanyang needed people, so he came here.

Now the people of Nanyang have a good impression of Ji's business and Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. It would be a pity not to use such a good mass base. Therefore, he plans to open a shop of Liaodong Chamber of Commerce in Nanyang.

Young Master Ji stayed to complete the finishing work.

After all, Tao Xun and others stayed in Nanyang because of Ji's invitation. It is impossible for Ji's father and son to leave without giving any explanation.

Then, the one million shi of food must be transported in two times.

After making a decision, they contacted Lin Shan.

After Lin Shan helped foreign grain merchants transport grain to Nanyang, in order to avoid their entanglement, he took the fleet away from Luoyang Port and temporarily hid from the limelight.

However, he did not go far. As soon as Ji contacted him, he returned to Luoyang with the fleet.
