Two thousand dans of grain had the same effect as twenty thousand dans. What else could he say?
Liu She asked, "Daily purchase limit … That's not bad … But what if some people buy the grain repeatedly for several days in a row?"
Jiang Pengji's aim was to suppress the grain price. That meant that when the prices of other grain stores skyrocketed, she would sell the grain at the same price as usual, or at a slightly higher price than usual. The people would naturally choose to buy from her.
Most of the commoners lived a frugal life. If they could be cheap, they would. They would not be extravagant.
They were not going to starve to death. It was just delaying the purchase of cheaper grain for a few days. Of course, they were willing to wait.
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "As long as we secretly spread the word that the grain store is working for the people's welfare. That's why we insist on only raising the price a little when the grain price of other grain skyrocketed. Under the premise of the daily purchase limit, if some people buy too much grain for several days in a row, the other people will definitely not be able to buy the grain … That way, the people will understand the grain store's painstaking efforts … and the pressure will be less. "
Liu She was stunned by what he heard.
He thought that his daughter was inexperienced and didn't understand the world. That was why she came up with the idea of suppressing the grain price with two thousand dans of grain.
Looking at her now, she was indeed inexperienced, but she had a sharp mind. He only needed to point out a flaw, and she was able to correct it … Not to mention anything else, just this flexibility was enough to make him feel ashamed and admirable.
If she followed her plan, the grain store would probably sell a few thousand dans of grain and win the hearts of the people in Hejian County.
She would earn enough money and fame at the same time.
Due to the public opinion, the other grain stores would not be able to increase the price even if they wanted to.
As long as they could delay until the autumn harvest, the grain price would naturally decrease, and the people would not have to worry about food shortage.
But …
"… But if that's the case, the profit will be less than expected."
Jiang Pengji shook her head with pity. She originally wanted to sell two thousand dans of grain for ten thousand dans to trick the gentry families in Hejian County. It seemed that she had to give up that tempting idea. She had too little grain in her hands. It was not enough to play such a big game.
If Liu She knew what she was thinking, he would not be able to help but roll his eyes.
Her current plan was enough to make people hate her. If she still wanted to trick the gentry families in Hejian County, she would not want to live in Hejian County.
Cutting one's path to wealth was like killing one's parents.
The landowning households could've used this opportunity to clear out the stockpiled grain in their granaries and earned their fill to their hearts' content.
Because of Jiang Pengji's interference, the market share of grain prices in Hejian County for the next month would be taken away by her.
She could not be so shameless!
Liu She did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he had more confidence in Jiang Pengji.
Those who were truly capable, no matter how they started, even if they had a bad hand, would still be able to reach unimaginable heights.
There was no doubt that the daughter before him was such a person.
Liu She smiled faintly and said, "It's good that we can earn it. After all, it's a gift from the Meng's."
"She Who She Who Ten Dans of grain" Liu Meng. Dof of of of Liu Liu Two Dans of Six Liu Dans of Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu She said.
As the saying goes, a pillow comes when you doze off. If the Meng's were really "kind" enough to send an extra one thousand dans of grain, it would be great!
Two, "Father and Six Dof Liu Two" "D Two" Liu Two. She Liu Liu Dans "Wu Six Dang Wu". "
The "father and son" tacitly ignored the expressions on the faces of the Meng's when they brought the food and Meng Liang's body away.
That kind of scene would definitely be very beautiful.
They wanted to use their "generosity" to humiliate others, but reality slapped them hard in the face.
Meng Hun was a hypocrite?
He wasn't!
He had guts and brains. He cheated the Meng's of a few thousand dans of grain, and he even dared to wield a butcher's knife against their baby to avenge his wife and daughter!
The Meng's wanted to trample on Meng Hun's dignity, but Jiang Pengji did the same.
The development of the troops was very smooth. Jiang Pengji had removed the troublemakers early on. The remaining people, with the cooperation of Meng Hun and Xu Ke, naturally could not cause any trouble. Instead, they were assimilated into the life of the troops and gradually accepted the status quo.
What was so good about being a bandit?
Even the bandits themselves thought the same. The people of the world looked down on thieves like chickens and thieves like dogs.
Who would want to be a bandit that was despised by others if they could eat their fill, wear their clothes, and live a decent life?
Looking at the money the others received, the bandits secretly laughed at them. What could they do with such a small amount of money?
It would be gone after a few meals in the tavern. How long could they keep it?
But when they learned that every member of the troops was given seasonal clothes every season, food and accommodation were taken care of by the head family, and the monthly money was freely used, and there were occasional rewards … The only downside was that the training was hard, but it was much better than working in the fields.
It was better than bandits like them, who had unstable businesses and lives!
So they were tempted, jealous, and angry!
This was because they discovered that the rewards were all taken from their stockade.
Although they were bandits who robbed houses, their savings were almost zero. The real wealth was with the heads of the families.
"Bah! I earn my hard-earned money with a knife, but in the end, all the money goes into the pockets of the heads of the families … It's the same as working for the family. These people work for the family and get their own money, while we can only watch others … What the hell is this! "
It was the same as working for the family. Their work was illegal, while the others were legal. Naturally, the treatment was different.
"Then what do you want? Do you really want to work for this family? "
Several bandits secretly gathered together and discussed in low voices. Their faces were full of struggle.
After a long time, the first bandit to complain said, "… I'm afraid of starving … As long as I can eat my fill, save some money, marry a wife, and give birth to two fat boys … It doesn't matter who I work for … I can only watch those heads enjoy themselves all year round. I've risked my life and done so many things against my conscience, but I haven't even seen a sow …"
His position had begun to waver, and the others who were originally not firm also began to waver.
"I'm also afraid of starving … The family of the head of the family is really nice. They have white steamed buns for every meal, and sometimes they even have scallion pancakes …"
"… What if we don't agree? Didn't they say they would sell us to human traffickers …" one of them said timidly, "… We all know what kind of people those human traffickers are … It's better to work hard and try to be chosen by the head family …"
Right, what was so good about being a bandit?
