As a carriage drove in, more and more people poured in.
All of a sudden.
In Suzhou city, the entrances of various Yuelai Inns are crowded with people.
The buyers were all extremely generous and spent money lavishly, and then the stored grain in Prince Jing's mansion was continuously sold out.
One day later.
Prince Jing’s Palace sold 15 million shi of grain.
Hundreds of accountants were working overtime to do the accounting, and the abacus made a crackling sound.
This time alone, Prince Jing's Mansion made a profit of at least 300 million coins.
I made back most of my previous losses.
Yicui Tower!
The merchants held a banquet to celebrate. Although they had spent a lot of money today, being able to clear out most of the grain reserves in Prince Jing's Mansion was a great victory.
"Now the grain and other goods are all stored in our hands. When the war breaks out again and winter comes, how much the price will increase is up to us, right?"
"When the famine comes, it's not impossible to raise the price tenfold!"
"Not bad!"
One more day.
Prince Jing's Palace maintained the price of grain unchanged, but the big grain merchants raised it by half a percent instead.
Such an approach naturally made those who were ready to get a piece of the pie unable to sit still, and they all went to Prince Jing's Mansion to buy grain.
The people in the city were all upset. Why didn’t they buy grain at a low price? Now the price has gone up, right?
Ever since.
Citizens inside and outside the city all came to grab food, fearing that the price would rise later, which triggered a wave of panic buying.
The big grain merchants were confident of victory at this time. They listened to folk songs, sang songs, and waited for the grain in Prince Jing's Mansion to be completely cleared out.
As long as they clear out the stocks, they can raise the price and make up for their losses.
Within two days.
The 20 million shi of grain reserves in Prince Jing's Mansion were sold out.
Big grain traders are gearing up for the action.
Now Prince Jing’s Mansion has no grain to sell.
After the market opens tomorrow, those people will have to buy food from them.
At that time, they will naturally ship less and limit purchases every day.
When food prices gradually rise, it will be a famine in winter or early spring next year, and that is when you can make a lot of money.
"Failed!"
"Prince Jing's Mansion suffered a great loss this time. Although a lot of the principal was recovered, at least 100 million yuan was lost!"
"It's so rare! I can see Prince Jing's Mansion suffer a loss!"
In Gusu City, merchants from all sides had their own scales in mind and roughly calculated that, unless something unexpected happened, Prince Jing's Mansion would lose this business war.
What good is it to have money when the food and supplies are gone?
The market is no longer in our hands.
Unless Prince Jing's Mansion can transport food from somewhere else.
However, the grain production in the Suhu area roughly falls within a certain range.
Even if Prince Jing's Mansion could transfer grain from other countries, how could it be convenient and quick to communicate with the country's big merchants?
"Failed?"
Zhao Wuxian looked at Zhao Shizhen and the worried businessmen and laughed.
night!
On an island in Taihu Lake.
The merchants who were selling grain for Prince Jing's Palace all went to the island. After entering, they were all shocked to see the mountains of high-quality rice.
The market opens the next day.
The grain merchants, whose prices had increased by half a cent, were surprised to find that Prince Jing's Mansion was still selling grain, and at a slightly lower price.
The best rice, only 2,300 coins?!
"What's going on? Didn't they say that Prince Jing's mansion is out of food?"
"Where does Prince Jing's Mansion get the food?"
Everyone was stunned.
"I heard that Prince Jing's Mansion had already made preparations. There is a super large granary on the island of Taihu Lake!"
"Prince Jing's Mansion has brought back a large amount of food from overseas!"
"Prince Jing's Mansion has no shortage of food at all!"
As soon as the news came out.
All the big grain traders felt dizzy, felt dizzy and fainted.
Some vomited blood.
Some were even angry to death.
"impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible, this must be a plan of Prince Jing's Mansion!"
There are also people who are skeptical and don't believe it is true, so they grit their teeth and persevere.
Three more days passed.
Prince Jing's Mansion reduced the price of grain to 2,100 coins per stone, and announced to the public that it would no longer easily lower or raise prices.
Moreover, the food supply in Prince Jing's Mansion is unlimited and absolutely sufficient.
Upon hearing this, the restless people and merchants stopped rushing to buy food, and the merchants who had previously bought food at a low price were satisfied.
This amount of grain could be sold elsewhere to make a profit.
As for the people inside and outside the city, those who bought low-priced grain were naturally happy, and those who couldn't buy it were not too angry.
Because even at the current price, it is still 900 coins cheaper than the previous price of 3,000 coins per stone.
Only the big grain traders and those behind them were beating their chests and stamping their feet in grief.
The bigger the business, the greater the loss.
pain!
It hurts so much!
After the blow dealt to Prince Jing's Mansion, many families with less capital were basically bankrupt, and the big families were also severely damaged.
Yicui Tower became a gathering place for doctors for a while.
The smell of cooking medicine overwhelms the smell of powder.
The sky was filled with sorrow and sadness, and there were several people whose hair turned white overnight.
Just when the businessmen were at a loss.
"Zhe Zhong, the chief steward of Prince Jing's Mansion, is here!"
"what?"
"What is he here for?"
"Is Prince Jing's Mansion trying to show off? This is really going too far!"
Everyone was indignant, but they dared not ignore it. After this business war, everyone developed fear and awe of Prince Jing's Mansion.
Zhe Zhong entered, looked at the people with livid faces, and said with a folded hand: "I am here to inform you all on the orders of Prince Jing!"
"What are you talking about? Are you trying to humiliate us?"
Zhe Zhong said: "The prince said: All the people in the world come for profit, and it is understandable that merchants pursue profit. At present, the thieves in Jiangnan are looting and disrupting the people's livelihood. It is already a disaster. I am afraid that someone will hoard goods and add to the disaster, so I started a business war."
"As the saying goes, every man has his share of responsibility for the success or failure of his country!"
"The Song Dynasty is in turmoil, with internal and external troubles. Scholars, farmers, merchants and workers must work together to serve the country and the people, only then can we be true men."
"Now that the outcome of the business war has been decided, if you are willing to assist the Jingwang Mansion, we can circulate wealth and goods to stabilize the people's livelihood and economy in Jiangnan."
"Prince Jing's Mansion can return your lost capital and host a banquet at Zui Ren Ju to settle this feud and turn hostility into friendship. How do you think?"
All the grain merchants were stunned when they heard this.
You look at me, I look at you.
I was suspicious and couldn't believe it. Is there such a good thing? .
Chapter 422: Prince Jing is kind and righteous, Huang Yaoshi forces marriage: Will you marry my daughter? !
Yicui Tower!
Zhe Zhong's message shocked the merchants.
In this business war, everyone's losses amounted to tens of millions of taels of silver. Prince Jing's Mansion said it would be returned, so would it be returned?
In his heart, Zhe Zhong also admired Zhao Wuxian's courage and broad-mindedness, and said, "Do you agree? Tell me so that I can go back to the prince."
Everyone looked at Zhe Zhong.
As the chief steward of Prince Jing's Mansion, he is also a top figure in Suzhou. Even high-ranking officials like the prefect have to treat him with courtesy.
His words were frank and sincere at this time, and it didn't seem like he was trying to deceive them.
Could it be true?
