On this day, the general stores and government-controlled grain stores once again lowered grain prices by a large margin."
Only three yuan and five dime silver coins per stone of rice, why has it dropped again!""
It's a good thing, Henghe Grain Shop still charges five yuan a stone, and I earn an extra five jiao from each stone!""
No matter what you say, it's good to continue to fall, or the imperial store and the government have a conscience, unlike those big grain households, who can't wait to make the price of grain higher and higher!"
…… At this time, in front of this comprehensive store in Jiangning County, all the people who came to buy grain were boiling again because the store continued to reduce the price of rice.And it didn't take a few days.The general store has lowered the price of grain.Direct three dollars silver coin one stone.Then, just two days later, because a new batch of rice arrived, it was lowered to two yuan and five jiao and one stone.At this moment, the people in Jiangnan were completely shocked."
My God, it's been falling, doesn't it mean that there is no grain in Jiangnan, and all cotton and mulberry are planted?""
It's been going down for months, and it's been going down even harder these days!""
If it weren't for the fact that Henghe Grain Store was still collecting grain at a higher price of rice, I wouldn't want to buy rice anymore except for what I had to eat every day.And because of this, Jiangnan Shimin continued to talk wildly.Because Zhu Youxiao let Dongchang intentionally connive, almost the entire restaurant and teahouse were talking about the price of rice.However, Nanjing Xungui, who manipulated grain prices behind his back, and other large grain households began to get anxious at this time."
Why is the price reduced again!
How much grain did the imperial court transport to Jiangnan, and now it is directly lowered to two yuan and five jiao and one stone, and we spent so much silver, and it didn't make him rise!
Mr.
Dou, what the hell is going on. ”Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing, asked Dou Ding anxiously at this time."
The old man heard about this matter, the imperial court began to transfer grain to Jiangnan a year ago, and even transported the grain collected after the national Qingzhang fields and acres, almost tens of millions of stone grains, it stands to reason that we have tens of millions of taels of silver smashed down, and the court can't hold it, but I didn't expect that the single husband directly forced the vassal kings to accept the Qingzhang fields and acres in a severe way of punishing the king of De, and made the court clearer more thoroughly, and there was a lot of grain, presumably the price reduction is also because of these grains."
Xu Hongji said."
What Grandpa Guo said is that this is the reason, in order to suppress the price of food, the lone husband did not hesitate to torture and kill the prince, and the ruthlessness is very comparable!"
Dou Ding gritted his teeth and said, then looked at Xu Hongji and the others: "I don't know if there are other ways for the imperial court to get grain, such as sending water masters to transport grain from overseas." ”"That's not a small price, and besides, does the sailor have that ability?"
Zhu Guobi hurriedly said."
I naturally don't know, in terms of military and political affairs, the blockade of Jinyiwei and Dongchang is strict, Liaodong, Tianjin, Denglai and other places, there are many open and secret posts, no one dares to inquire, and the will of the army will not be reported, but even if the imperial court really does this, according to the will of His Highness, we have to continue to do it as before, otherwise if we really let the price of food continue to fall like this, we, the wealthy families with the most food, will only lose more!
We have to make this bet with the imperial court, betting that the imperial court does not have the ability to buy grain from overseas on a large scale, before the East Factory finds out about us. ”Dou Ding shook his head and said."
I'm afraid that Dongchang has already found it, but it didn't do it, but just in case, we still let people write some posts about the court to expose the innocent heroes and nobles."
Xu Hongji said at this time.After hearing this, Dou Ding nodded: "Maybe, that means that the imperial court is also trying to gamble with us, and wants to use this way to not only circulate the silver coins, but also bankrupt our family." ”"It seems that the imperial court is confident, if we don't admit defeat, hurry up and put the grain on the market, while there is still a price of two yuan and five dimes of silver."
Zhu Guobi retreated."
No!
Isn't that a waste of all your efforts?
”Xu Hongji directly vetoed Zhu Guobi's proposal, and said: "Where is it so easy to go to sea, how many people know where North Korea is, where the Japanese country is, where Siam is, besides, who knows how much grain there is in these foreign countries, in the old man's view, the richest is still my land in China, the imperial court can only transfer grain in Guannei Huguang, Henan, Shandong, Sichuan, etc., it is impossible to have other food, Your Highness is doing the right thing, we have to continue to do this, and fight with the court to the end!"
The court will lose!
”Xu Hongji was a little red-eyed, so he said with an excited expression: "If you want to throw it, you can throw it, anyway, the old man would rather gamble than be directly raided by him Zhu Youxiao in the future!"
”"What Grandpa Guo said makes sense, it's not so easy to go to sea, even if you succeed in going to sea, you can't be sure how much grain you can get, in my opinion, the imperial court doesn't have this ability, and this time is not the time to lose, so His Royal Highness King Fu and His Royal Highness King Lu let people bring three million taels, and we have to continue to fight."
The top of the sinus echoed the road."
Then continue to fight, the old man will pay another two million taels and take out all the remaining wealth!"
Xu Hongji stood up and said.Seeing this, Zhu Guobi said: "In this case, then I will give another one million taels." ”For a while, the nobles and wealthy families in Nanjing did not think that the imperial court could go to sea to get enough grain, and the Ming Dynasty, as a land power country, did not pay enough attention to overseas.In addition, these noble families also have a gambler mentality, and they are unwilling to admit defeat when they reach the sweetness of rising food prices, so they continue to invest money to continue to buy back the grain sold by the imperial court at a high price.......
"Siam is in this position, tell Shen Yourong that the sailor will first follow the coast of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, which I have newly given names, to Ningbo, and then go from Ningbo to the chicken coop of Dongfan Island, and then go south after sparing the chicken coop, and then go west around Annan, and you can reach Siam!"
”Zhu Youxiao did know where North Korea was, where the Japanese Kingdom was, and where Siam was, and even remembered the approximate distance, so he didn't have to go to sea to explore it in person like people of this era, at this time, he asked the ministers to draft an edict to Shen Yourong, and gave instructions to Shen Yourong on the next trip to Siam.In addition to Zhu Youxiao, a person who knows world geography and some navigation theories, plus some geographical knowledge and navigation knowledge provided by some Western missionaries, the Ming Dynasty now has a good navigation ability, but also because of the improvement of shipbuilding technology and artillery technology, there are better warships and navigation instruments, so for the current Ming Dynasty, going to sea is not a problem.It is precisely because of this that Zhu Youxiao dares to have enough confidence to fight this kind of economic war with the wealthy families in China."
What is the situation of grain in the market now?"
Zhu Youxiao asked Wei Zhongxian."
Back to the emperor, there are still a lot of people who buy grain, and the people in Henghe grain shop are still buying grain at a high price, and there are more and more revelations about saying that the imperial court wants to do something to Xungui, and the east factory does not dare to move, and I ask the emperor to show it."
Wei Zhongxian replied."
They are coercing public opinion, afraid that I will copy them directly, but now I really don't plan to tear my face and copy them directly, and continue to reduce the price!"
Zhu Youxiao instructed Li Zhizao and the others."
Yes!"
Li Zhizao waited for a reply.......
"Two silver coins per stone of rice!"
”"Falling again?""
It's about to fall back to the price it was before the rebellion."
Jiangnan Shimin was surprised again.The news of the continued reduction of grain prices soon spread throughout Jiangnan.Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, couldn't sit still at all this time, and couldn't help but hurriedly find Xu Hongji and others, slammed the table, and shouted loudly: "It's down again, it's down again!"

I took the initiative to burn the last bit of old grain at home, how can it still be reduced!
”Xu Hongji looked at Dou Ding.Dou Ding gritted his teeth and said: "Insist first, the court may have done it on purpose, let us panic first, they shouldn't have much food." ”
