"Dad, what should we do?" The weather was extremely hot. The father and son hid in the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool air. The son took a bite of the pancake and looked at the grain in the cart with a worried face.
"What's there to be afraid of? The grain is in our hands. If we can't sell it, we can keep it for ourselves." The black-faced man said generously, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
It was exciting to hear the Emperor's grain price protection order. But it would not turn out to be an empty joy in the end!
At this moment, a team of transport vehicles from the Mo Family's village was rushing from the south to the north to Chang 'an City. The leader was a strong man in his twenties. He was Li Xin.
Li Xin saw the black-faced man and his son sitting on the road and could not help asking, "Do you want to sell grain?"
The black-faced man's son said first, "Yes, but it's a pity that all grain stores don't buy grain."
Li Xin laughed and said, "That's because you didn't find the right place. The Mo Family's village in the south is buying grain in large quantities."
"Really?" The black-faced man was surprised. He did not expect such a turn of events at the most desperate moment.
"Of course, we are the transport team of the Mo Family's village." Li Xin said proudly.
The black-faced man believed a little bit. The Mo Family's village had become famous in Chang 'an City recently. They suddenly became rich. In addition, the villagers of the Mo Family's village were selling chickens, ducks, and geese. The domestic poultry they raised were bought from the Mo Family's village.
"How much is the grain price?" The black-faced man asked.
"Of course, it's seven coins per dou. And it's all official fights. I guarantee that it's fair." Li Xin said.
The official fights were official measurement tools released by the imperial court. Of course, it was very accurate. There would be no big fights and small fights.
The father and son were happy to hear that. They immediately drove to the Mo Family's village.
The news that the Mo Family's village was buying grain at seven coins per dou spread all over the south of Chang 'an City. Like the black-faced man, many farmers who failed to sell grain quickly rushed to the Mo Family's village after hearing the news.
"The price is fair. It's seven coins per dou."
"It's fair and just. It's a standard official fight!"
"And it's settled in cash!"
…
After selling their grain and returning to the village, the farmers who looked like black-faced burly men quickly spread the news throughout the village. Soon, more and more farmers went to the Mo Family Village to sell their grain.
"Shopkeeper, this is bad! The Mo Family Village is harvesting grain. "Wei Lai reported to Manager Wei in a panic.
Manager Wei's face suddenly darkened. He was confident that no one in the south of Chang 'an dared to go against the Wei and Du families, but this Village Mo was an exception.
Mo Jiazi was like the sun at noon in Chang 'an City, and the Mo Family was in the limelight. This time, it was the Mo Family that caused the food prices to soar. In addition, the news that the Second Young Master of the Du Family, Du He, returned to the Du Family's old house from Chang' an City with his tail between his legs had spread throughout the south of Chang 'an City. It was said that the biggest reason was that he had offended Mo Jiazi.
"Don't worry. The Mo Family Village has always been short of grain, and it has become a habit to buy grain every year. When the Mo Family Village has enough grain, they will stop buying. Besides, how much grain can a small village like the Mo Family Village buy?" Manager Wei thought and said.
Of course, he did not forget to report this matter to the lords in Chang 'an City. The Mo Family's affairs were not something that he, as a shopkeeper, could manage.
Soon, the news came from Chang 'an City. They should not provoke the Mo Family Village for the time being. After all, the Mo Family Village had the Mo Family Magazine. If the Mo Family Village exposed that the Wei and Du families had joined hands to harvest grain and did not allow others to buy grain, they would be in big trouble.
However, after three days, the Mo Family Village was still buying grain in large quantities. Every day, there was an endless stream of farmers carrying grain.
"What's wrong with the Mo Family Village? The grain is enough for them to eat until the Spring Festival. Why are they still not satisfied? "Manager Wei frowned and asked.
Wei Lai wiped his sweat and said, "Shopkeeper, I have checked several times. Mr. Li of the Mo Family Village said that the Mo Family Village has not rotated the cultivation of the land in recent years. This year, they are going to buy more grain and rotate one-third of the land in the village."
Manager Wei took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
After another three days, the Mo Family Village's grain collection work was still not finished. They were still buying grain openly.
"The Mo Family Village said that they will recruit workers on a large scale in the second half of the year, and the workers in the Mo Family Village will be provided with food." Wei Lai swallowed his saliva and said carefully.
Even he did not believe such a statement. No matter how many workers they recruited, they would not need the grain.
"The Mo Family Village is really not afraid of offending the Wei and Du families." Manager Wei was already furious and said viciously.
No matter how much grain the Mo Family Village needed, Manager Wei did not want to believe it anymore. Because the Mo Family Village had seriously damaged the prestige of the Wei and Du families by doing so.
"Shopkeeper, many grain merchants can't wait anymore. They have come to ask for countermeasures." Wei Lai said anxiously.
Now many grain merchants had put pressure on them. They did not buy any grain here, and a large amount of grain was flowing to the Mo Family Village. They could do nothing but worry.
"Tell those grain merchants that according to my estimation, the Mo Family Village has almost run out of money. Tell them not to worry." Manager Wei said.
Although the farmers could not sell much grain now, the total amount of grain of each household was not a small number. Even if the Mo Family Village had made a lot of money, how much grain could they buy?
"Shopkeeper, you are so wise!" Wei Lai immediately understood the key point and praised hurriedly.
… …
Manager Wei's guess was right. The Mo Family Village did not have much money. This time, the Mo Family Village had used up all the cash of the Mo Family Village to buy grain.
"Young master, the Mo Family Village has no money!"
In the Mo Mansion, Li Yi said with both joy and sorrow.
As a farmer who had been digging for food in the soil for half of his life, Li Yi was very happy when he saw the warehouse full of grain. Not only that, even all the villagers of the Mo Family Village supported the purchase of grain vigorously.
In this era, grain was the biggest hard currency. The poor life before made the villagers of the Mo Family Village have a paranoid pursuit of grain.
"If you have no money, you can go to Mr. Xu!" Meton smiled and pointed behind Uncle Li.
Li Yi hurriedly turned around, only to discover that Xu Jie's travel-worn and weary face had appeared behind him.
"Didn't Brother Xu go to Luoyang City?" Li Yi asked in surprise.
"I heard that Shopkeeper Li needed money, so Xu specially came back from Luoyang to give you money." Xu Jie said with a smile.
"Give you money?" Li Yi was suddenly shocked and looked up at Xu Jie in disbelief. If Xu Jie could send it back in person, it must not be a small amount.
"Mr. Xu made a lot of money in Luoyang City, much more than in Chang 'an City!" Meton said happily.
The market in Luoyang City was indeed vast. In addition, it was the midpoint of the Jinghang Grand Canal. There were countless businessmen coming and going. Naturally, the products of the Mo Family Village were very popular. In addition, the preparation and indirect promotion in Chang 'an City made a large number of orders in a short time.
"Boss, you flatter me. Xu is just an errand boy. " Xu Jie said modestly. Although the products of the Mo Family Village were really good, Xu Jie's efforts were also indispensable.
When they arrived in Chang 'an City, Xu Jie used his previous business relationship to get into the market as fast as possible.
