"Open the grain collection!"
Li Yi exclaimed. The Mo Family's village had already purchased a lot of grain, which was enough for the needs of the village. If they opened the grain collection, they would offend the Wei Family and the Du Family. After all, the Wei Family and the Du Family were very powerful in Chang 'an City!
"Boss, you should think twice!"
Xu Jie also advised. He also felt that it was inappropriate for Meton to offend the Wei Family and the Du Family. The Mo Family should not make too many enemies, especially the local tyrants of Chang 'an City, the Wei Family and the Du Family.
Meton also gave a wry smile. If possible, he would not offend the Wei Family and the Du Family. However, the current situation of rising grain prices was caused by his impatience.
If he did not take the initiative to collect grain, the reputation of the Mo Family would be ruined. Moreover, he had his own considerations to collect grain in the Mo Family's village.
"Does the Mo Family intend to run a grain store?" Xu Jie said thoughtfully.
Meton shook his head and denied, "Mr. Xu, you worry too much. The Mo Family must focus on the industry and commerce. Of course, we will not participate in the grain store business."
"Then why?" Li Yi and Xu Jie were puzzled.
Meton explained, "The Mo Family's village has a low grain yield. It is inevitable that they will sell their grain. Moreover, as more and more workers will be hired in the future, the Mo Family's village must have a large amount of grain storage if it wants to develop stably."
Meton's position for the Mo Family's village was to develop into an industrialized town. In the future, the fields would be gradually occupied. Therefore, a large grain storage could ensure the stable development of the Mo Family's village.
Xu Jie thought for a while and nodded in agreement with Meton. Since they had to store grain sooner or later, the sooner the better.
"In your opinion, how much grain does the Mo Family's village need to buy?" Li Yi frowned and said.
"It must be enough to ensure that all the people in the Mo Family's village, including the foreign workers, can live a good life for three years when there is no harvest in the Mo Family's village." Meton gave a shocking number.
"Ah! There are so many of them! " Li Yi opened his mouth wide, and Xu Jie was also shocked by Meton's foresight and generosity. How could he do that? It could be said that the Mo Family Village would have no worries about the future, and they only needed to focus on development.
"When the population of Village Mo increases in the future, the food storage will also increase accordingly." Meton added.
Obviously, the population of the Mo Family Village would continue to increase in the future, and the corresponding food reserves would naturally increase by three times.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid the Mo Clan will have to offend both the Wei and Du Clans," Li Yi said with a bitter face.
"We have to do this even if we offend them. You know, after His Majesty issued the food price protection order this time, it's not that the south of Chang 'an doesn't accept food. All the grain merchants in Guanzhong are watching. A large number of farmers had a backlog of food. What the Mo Family Village needs to do is to break this situation. "Meton said another shocking news.
According to the information from Mo Jiazi's brother, who was collecting information for the Mo Magazine, all the grain merchants in Guanzhong were passively resisting the food price protection order. This order was implemented because of Su Lingnong's initiative, so the Mo Family naturally took the lead.
As long as the grain merchants in the south of Chang 'an couldn't resist, the unreliable alliance of the grain merchants in Guanzhong would naturally collapse like dominoes. If the food price protection order was implemented successfully this time, there would be no obstacles in the future.
Xu Jie suddenly understood. The food storage couldn't be built in one or two times. If the Mo Family Village wanted to build a food storage, it wouldn't be so urgent.
"Besides, the foundation of the Mo Family Village is in the south of Chang 'an. Farmers can only buy the products of the Mo Family Village when they have money," Meton said after a pause.
Li Yi immediately smiled and said, "Young master, you are right. Many farmers directly bought chickens, pots, and farm tools from the Mo Family Village after selling their food. These days, the Mo Family Village has sold a lot of things. Otherwise, the Mo Family Village wouldn't have been able to buy food for so many days.
Meton nodded. Most of the products of the Mo Family Village were for the public. Only when more and more people could afford the products of the Mo Family Village, that was the key to the rise of the Mo Family Village.
…
Manager Wei had been paying attention to the purchase of food in the Mo Family Village these days. When he heard that the Mo Family Village was still purchasing food, he immediately flew into a rage.
"Where did the Mo Family Village get so much money!" Manager Wei roared. The Mo Family's continuous purchase made him very passive. If it weren't for the prestige of the Wei and Du families, the originally loose grain merchants alliance would have been in danger of falling apart.
Wei Lai said with a sad face, "It is said that the foreign affairs manager of the Mo Family Village brought back a lot of money from Luoyang."
"Fortune God Xu!" Manager Wei was instantly filled with hatred. He naturally knew this former legend of Chang 'an City, but he didn't expect that Xu Jie, who was in dire straits, would have a chance to make a comeback and cause him so much trouble.
"And after those bumpkins sold their food, they bought things from the Mo Family Village and brought them back. In this way, a part of the money returned to the Mo Family Village."
"The Mo Family Village is really good at doing business." Manager Wei said angrily. For the Mo Family Village, the money came from the left hand and the right hand. They not only received food, but also sold things.
"Manager, what should we do?" Wei Lai asked.
"Don't worry, the master has already come up with a countermeasure." Manager Wei suppressed the anger in his heart and sneered.
"Countermeasure?" Wei Lai was confused.
"How much food can those bumpkins have? Doesn't the Mo Family Village want to buy food? Then the Wei Family will sell it to them! Not only the Wei Family, the Du Family will do the same. "Manager Wei said sinisterly.
In this era, the surplus food that ordinary farmers could produce was not much. The real rich in food were those big landlords. They owned a lot of land and collected a lot of land rent. Naturally, they could sell a lot of food.
"The master's idea is really brilliant!" Wei Lai exclaimed.
Manager Wei was immediately very pleased. Since the Mo Family Village was not open to buying, then he would sell the Wei and Du Family's food to them in large amounts. He wanted to see how much money the Mo Family Village had.
Wei Lai tilted his head and blurted out a bad idea, "The Mo Family Village is full of wicked ideas. To be safe, why don't we also let the landlords in the south of the city sell their food to the Mo Family Village? In this way, even if the Mo Family Village has gold and silver mines, they won't be able to take out so much money.
Manager Wei immediately laughed and said, "You still have a lot of wicked ideas. Good! With you on this matter, I believe the landlords in the south of the city will definitely give face to the Wei Family. "
