Li Yi did not expect that the Wei and Du families would counterattack so quickly. Looking at the long line of wagons, Li Yi swallowed his saliva involuntarily.
"Brother Li, I heard that the price of grain in the Village Mo is very high. We are here to sell grain today. You won't refuse us, right?" Manager Wei said to Li Yi complacently, leading the team himself.
Li Yi looked at the four-wheeled wagons produced by his family. For the first time, he hated the quality of his wagons for being too good and carrying too much grain. The grain in the wagons must be more than a few thousand pounds!
"Of course. But the Village Mo doesn't accept Aged Grain. We only want the new grain of this year!" Li Yi looked at the quality of the grain in the wagons and suddenly had a bright idea.
Hearing Li Yi's words, the eyes of several landlords flickered. As soon as the new grain was bought, many landlords took out the Aged Grain from their granaries. Some of them were even Aged Grain that was several years old.
"Why is that? Don't tell me you can't eat old grain? "Inwardly, Shopkeeper Wei hated these pig teammates for dragging him down as he defended himself.
"No! We don't buy grain from the Village Mo to sell, but to store it for the Village Mo's own use. We need to store it, so naturally we need new grain. "Li Yi said.
Hearing Li Yi's words, many grain merchants' eyes lit up. They had always thought that the reason why the Mo Family's village collected so much grain was because they wanted to get involved in the grain business. But now, they had wronged the Mo Family's village.
"Then why do you continue to buy so much grain when you have already collected so much?" A grain merchant asked discontentedly.
Li Yi suddenly said with a compassionate look, "Now many grain merchants don't buy grain, and many farmers are in urgent need of money. They are all from the same village. Do you think our Village Mo can be so cruel and refuse to buy grain?"
"The Village Mo is so benevolent!"
Many farmers who came to sell their grains cheered loudly. When they were at their wits' end, the Mo Family Village had helped them. Of course, everyone praised the Mo Family Village.
However, Manager Wei and the other grain merchants were filled with hatred. If it wasn't for the Mo Family Village, the price of grain would have gone down a long time ago. How could they not buy grain?
With Li Yi's inspiration, more than half of the Aged Grain was returned, and the rest of the grain was bought by the Mo's Village with cash. However, all the money was taken away by Manager Wei and others, who had no intention of buying the products of the Mo's Village at all.
The next day, Manager Wei brought another long convoy to sell food. Once again, the Mo Family Village accepted all the food.
On the third day, Manager Wei and others came to sell food again. The Mo Family Village still accepted all the food.
A large amount of money flowed out, and carriages of food flowed into the village. When the granary was full, it would be stored in the Mo Manor and the villagers' homes. At the same time, they would work overtime to build the granary.
The two sides were in a stalemate. Both sides were competing with patience, and more importantly, with financial resources.
"I can guarantee that after today, the Mo Family Village will run out of cash."
On the seventh day, Shopkeeper Wei stood beside the caravan and loudly promised the exhausted grain merchants. While the grain merchants' faces were filled with anxiety, there was also a trace of excitement. They had finally arrived at the dawn of victory. Although they were late by nearly half a month, it was still worth it.
And the fact proved that Manager Wei's guess was right. The Mo Family Village did not have much money. In just seven days, the huge wealth brought back by Xu Jie from Chang 'an City was almost used up. It seemed that they could not buy any more grain.
"Report to the Young Master? What did the Young Master say? "Li Yi asked anxiously to Li Xin, who had just come back from Chang 'an City.
Li Xin took a breath and drank a bowl of tea. Then he answered, "The Young Master said, I know!"
"He knows?" Li Yi was stunned at once.
"Does the Young Master have any other orders?" Li Yi did not give up and asked again.
Li Xin thought about it confidently and finally nodded.
"Phew!"
Li Yi was relieved at once. If so, it meant that Meton had a well-thought-out plan.
"Father, what about the Wei Family?" Li Xin asked anxiously.
Li Yi thought for a moment and said resolutely, "Continue to buy."
Manager Wei looked at Li Yi coming out of the Mo Family Village and could not help showing a complacent smile. This time, he was sure that the Mo Family Village was really an arrow at the end of its flight.
However, he did not know that another wealth storm was about to begin in Chang 'an City.
Downstairs of Yu Zhuangyuan.
Luxurious four-wheeled carriages produced by the Mo Family Village gathered. The rich merchants from Chang 'an City got off the carriages and went straight to Xu Jie, who was waiting at the door of Yu Zhuangyuan.
"Brother Xu, long time no see!" A tall middle-aged man in sackcloth cupped his hands and said.
"Brother Zheng! Nice to meet you! "
Xu Jie hurriedly returned the greeting. This man was Zheng Xuanli, a famous rich man in Chang 'an City. He was rich and ran a silk business. His shops were all over the Tang dynasty, but he was very frugal. If you walked on the street, no one would know that he was a famous rich man.
"Brother Xu, the Mo Family Village has been spending a lot of money recently!" Zheng Xuanli complimented.
"Brother Zheng, you must be joking. We just bought more food to be prepared." Xu Jie said modestly.
"It's good to buy food. As long as we have food in hand, we won't panic!" Zheng Xuanli said meaningfully. After chatting for a while, they entered Yu Zhuangyuan.
After that, Xu Jie greeted the rich merchants who came to greet him one by one. These people were all rich merchants in Chang 'an City.
In addition, there were also many barbarian merchants who came after hearing the news. Many of these merchants often traveled the Silk Road, so they were all very rich.
The famous merchants of Chang 'an City gathered at Yu Zhuangyuan's restaurant. If ordinary people were here, they would definitely exclaim loudly. The combined wealth of these people was comparable to that of a country. No one knew why all of them suddenly gathered at Yu Zhuangyuan's restaurant.
At this moment, there were many ice basins in the fish-shaped restaurant. The temperature in Yu Zhuangyuan's restaurant was cool and comfortable. Compared to the scorching heat outside, it was like heaven on earth.
In Yu Zhuangyuan's restaurant, plates of delicacies prepared by Yu Zhuangyuan's restaurant were placed in front of the tables. The names of the rich merchants were placed around the tables. The rich merchants who came took their seats. However, their minds were not on the delicacies in front of them. They were all sitting in their seats, thinking silently. At the same time, they were quietly sizing up the rich merchants who came with them.
"Thank you all for coming. Xu is very grateful." Xu Jie stood up and said loudly.
"Brother Xu, you're blowing your own trumpet. We were all lured here by that fine wine." Zheng Xuanli teased loudly.
Suddenly, many of the rich merchants laughed kindly. They were gathered at Yu Zhuangyuan's restaurant today because Xu Jie had sent people to give a bottle of good wine to each of the rich merchants in the Eastern and Western markets. After that, he made an appointment at Yu Zhuangyuan's restaurant, saying that he had a business deal to discuss.
Xu Jie also laughed and said, "If that's the case, come, serve the wine!"
Suddenly, rows of waiters from Yu Zhuangyuan's restaurant came in with pots of good wine and placed them on the tables. Suddenly, an extremely rich wine aroma spread throughout the restaurant.
